the pleasure which they hoped to give.
Others, again, look for so much graft
tude from those on whom their favors
are bestowed that their gifts are
treated with Indifference, and often
times with scorn, by those whom they
sought to please
have known people who, when per-
forming an act of kindness or benevo-
lence, gave the impression thaC they
were highly favored in being of service
to the one whom they sought to serve,
and left him with the pleasurable sem
sation of having bestowed favor in
stead Of being under an obligation.
Let us then seek to cultivate that
exquisite grace which will please both
rich and poor, which has its source in
the loving, thoughtful heart which con-
siders the recipient more than the gift.
Let us also cultivate that refined feel
ing which seeks to hide from the poor
the fact that their poverty is apparent,

His Son SO freely for us all. He spared
not His well-beloved that we might be
benefited by His gift, which is eternal

drous grace and perfect love, which has
blessed us so exceedingly, we exclaim
in the words of the poet Cowper:.

CONSECRATED TO GOD.
Our Lives Should BE Such That Every A,
Will Add to His Honor.

Our Lives Should BE Such That Every Act
VIII Add to His Honor.
One of the commonest mistakes that
men make is to split up their lives into
two parts, secular and religious Such
things as buying, selling and getting
gain they include in the former; and
such as reading the Bible, saying their
prayers and going to church in the lat
ter. All this is essentially unchristian.
According to the uniform teachings of
the New Testament our whole life
from beginning to end belongs to God,
and not merely some broken and
scattered fragments Of it The duties
of the home, the field, the shop,
the contingencies are just as impera-
tive as those of the sanctuary, and
ought to be performed with as strong
sense of religious obligatian. st. Paul
brings out this truth and sets it in the
forefront by means of two extreme and
vivid statements. The first Of the state
ments is: And whatsoever we do in
word or deed, do all in the name of the
Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and
the Father through Him The second
is still more specific and concrete:
whether therefore We eat, or drink, or
whatsoever we do, do all TO the glory
of God" Now, eating and drinking are
among the most commonplace acts OF
which we are capable. They belong
almost exclusively to the lower and
sensual side of our nature. They have
reference not to intellectual or spiritual
wants, but TO bodily and ileshly APP
petites.
If, therefore, even these acts may be
redeemed by religious considerations
from the level Of coarse and swinish
delights, and lifted up to the heights of
religious service, is there any part of
our lives that may not be subjected to
similar Transformation? What about
blowing, sowing, threshing, trading,
teaching, talking, reading and writing?
OF course, st. Paul does not mean to in
sist that every time we eat a bite OF
food we should stop and say: II eat
this for the glory of God The man
who moves on that line will become
either an empty Journalist or else a
canting hypocrite. What the apostle
does mean is that we should be so SUI
premely and unreservedly committed
and consecrated to God by our own per-
sonal choice and election that all our
thoughts, words and works-even the
least and most insignificant of them
should naturally and, as 1t We're, I'M
consciously conduce to His glory

The release recently of Mcdonnell

The release recently of Mcdonnell
and Hill. who were the accomplices of
the famous Bidwell in robbing the
Bank of England of one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, has local in
terest, says the Louisville Courier
Journal. Mcdonnell was once in this
city, and he will never cease regretting
that visit, for it was by his trip to
Louisville that he and his partners in
that one hundred and fifty thousand
dollar transaction were traced and ar
rested.
One day in the spring of 1871, yam
Hee' Bligh, then chief Of detectives,
was notified that a bank in this city
had been robbed of one thousand dol
lars by raised check. Capt.
Bligh went to work on the
case himself. He first went to the
bank and asked to see the check. One
glance at the slip of paper and he was
immensely interested in the case. 1t
was beautiful piece Of work from the
detectives point of view, one that
showed the difference between the true
criminal artist and the clumsy novice.
Capt Bligh secured an accurate de-
scription of the man who had taken the
check to the bank. lie was soon look
ing for tall, elegant gentleman with
an eastern accent and the manner of a
man of the world. The man whom he
wanted could speak French, Spanish
and Italian, was an accomplished mu-
stefan, was devoted to the arts, found
great enjoyment in the dead languages
and, above all and beyond everything,
was of an intensely benevolent turn of
mind. Detective Bligh hunted high
and low for his accomplished stranger,
and finally caught him. His culture
found him out. The man said he was
Mr.. Mcdonnell, of New York city. He
was living in small room near the
heart of the city. He protested in
words of three syllables against the
detectives blunt accusation, but was
marched off to Jail, nevertheless, He
said it was all a cruel mistake, but
Capt. Bligh soon had as good case as
he wanted against the suspect"
Hardly had the doors of the Jail
closed behind Mcdonnell than he sent
out for lawyers. He engaged the late
Martin Blur and W. l.. Jackson, Jr
He told them he had plenty of money
in New York city. Telegraphic COM
munications with that city showed that
this was true. His friends sent word
to spare no expense in getting Nc
Donnell out. The case came up in court
in few days, and the cultured
stranger whose injured air seemed
born of innocence, was held over for
the rather low bond of one thousand
dollars. The money was furnished
right away and the court issued an
order to release the man.
Yankee" Bligh saw through the
scheme with the quickness of a flash.
Mcdonnell was going to jump his bail.
Liberty for $1,000 was as cheap as dirt.
The detective had already shrewdly
gathered an idea that Mcdonnell was a
great criminal, who was wanted" in
many places. He felt pretty certain
that the check raiser's presence was de-
sired in Cincinnati. He asked Melon
nell to remain over until the next
evening at eight o'clock, so that Detec.
tive Larry Hazen, of Cincinnati, could
come down and have a look at him.
This he of the culture, many languages,
and proneness to raise checks agreed

HOW TO BESTOW GIFTS.
A Chance That Increases the Value of an
Offering Fourfold.

Offering Fourfold.
There is certain charm in giving,
which, if it accompanies the most trivial
gift, increases its vualue fourfold in the
estimation of the one who receives it,
yet how few there are who fully un-
derstand the art of giving gracefully
that which their love or benevolence
leads them to bestow.
at is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive," saith the Word of God, and the
truth of this statement has been con-
iirmed by those whose privilege it has
been to act in the capacity of giver.
The kindly hand-clasp and expressive
smile, which accompany the gift, are
part of the charm which renders
the giving grace which few
possess. The Giver of all good
and perfect gifts, who giveth to all
men richly, freely and literally. sets us
a blessed example of the manner in
which our gifts should be bestowed.
