Ten Nights in a Bar Room.

The New York Dramatic Com
pany which has been playing at Of
futt's Hall each Friday evening
have met with pronounced success.
So far each performance has been
an artistic success and has been
highly appreciated by the large au-
diences present. Next Friday,
July 10Th, the great moral lesson,
"Ten Nights in a Bar Room" will
be produced. 1t is beautiful play
and in the hands Of Mr.. Reist's
company is sure to be well played.
In addition to the regular perform
ance, Miss Rosa Crouch, the cele-
brated novelty skirt dancer, has
been engaged and will positively APP
pear. We predict a packed house
for the company, and would advise
that reserved seats be secured in
advance. The prices will remain
the same.

Died..

FRIEND.-Death again entered
the home Of Rev. II. f. Friend,
July 10Th, 1892, and took as its
victim his beloved daughter, Lilly
Alice, aged IA years, 9 months and
20 days.
After struggling with the much
dreaded disease, diphtheria, for
nearly three weeks, the Master said
at is enough, come up higher"
She joined the NJ. +. church in
February, 1888, at which time she
experienced a change of heart, and
lived a christian life, so when she
found death was approaching, and
Jesus SO previously near to her that
she scarcely noticed the things of
earth or even her severe suffering
and when the writer and others,
sang hymns which was so full OF
comfort to the dying that she joined
in and gave expressions Of great
JOY. The hymns were mostly OF
her own selection. Our society
looses bud of promise and the
parents an affectionate daughter,
but we quietly submit to the will Of
the Heavenly Father, and will
strive to meet her in Heaven, which
was her last request.
The parents, brothers and sisters,
have our deepest sympathies, and
invoke Gods choicest blessings to
rest upon them.

What Constitutes Business Man.

A business man attends to his
own business and leaves everybody
else's alone. Never buys what he
does not want, uses every hour to
advantage, and studies how to
make even leisure hours useful.
Thinks twice before throwing
away a shilling, remembering he
will have another to make for it,
and that shilling saved is shil-
ling earned. Finds pleasure in
looking after his business, knowing
that if through life he is to be up to
the height Of his century, he must
live while young with persons older,
and when older with persons young
er than himself He buys low, sells
fair, and takes care Of the profits.
When trade is bad, or he has
heavy losses, refreshcs at once, and
works harder Believes to insure
success in having probity, poverty
and perseverance as a dover. He
is aware sugar plums come to most
Of us too late, still he has faith in
his ultimate success, and believes j.
he confronts difficulties with un-
hinching perseverance, they will
disappear at last; and if such men
fail, they are to be honored, where
as, il you shrink from the trial, you
are despised
Failure is bad enough, but you
may do even worse than fail-you
may never have tried to succeed

had happened. They answered with
reverence that, if he would tell the
dream, they would interpret it. The
king then threatened them with de-
struction if they failed to tell him the
dream, and promised great reward IL
they would show him the vision and
the Interpretation thereof. They n
swered as before; but the king still in
insisted. For a third answer, the
Chaldeans declared the impossi ility Of
obeyipg the king, since only
the gods could do what he re-
quired. Becoming furious, the king
issued a decree to destroy all the
wise men OF Babylon. When this
decree was abont to be executed,
Daniel inquired Of Arioch, the captain
of the kings guard, us TO the reason for
il, and succeeded in obtaining a brief
delay, 80 that he might give the inter
probation. Returning to his house,
Daniel asked his companions to pray fol-
him, that the secret might be revealed.
That night ii was made known to
Daniel in a vision. Daniel made known
% Arioch that he was ready TO appear
before the king. Arioch fastened to
bring Daniel before Nebuchadnezzar
who at once questioned him, and re.
ceiyed for an answer, first, a declara.
ton that the God in heaven revealed the
dream, that it was prophetic. and that
it was the vision of a great image
'shis head Of gold, his breast and his
arms of silver, his belly and his thighs
of bra s, his legs of iron, his feet part
of iron and part of clay" This image
was smitten on the feet by a stone cut
ont without hands; in consequence, the
whole image. in all its parts. was
shattered to pieces and blown away
like chat, while the stone ''became q

"On a recent trip through France l
was forcibly struck by the manner in
which women are forging to the front
in that country" said II. L. Levan,
of Boston, at the Southern. ''Statis-
tics show that France leads all the
countries of Europe in the employ
ment of women. Most of the ac-
countants and bo~okkcepers in French
shops are females whose salaries range
from SO to $40 a week, according to
proficiency and the size of the estab-
lishment in which they work. A
peculiar phase of the employment of
these women is that most of them
save their earnings very carefully, in
order to buy an interest in the BUSH
ness. This inclination is always en-
couraged by the proprietors, inasmuch
as it is the general opinion that part
ownership induces greater fidelity on
the part of the clerks."-St Louis
