Rev. Charles Hadden Spurgeon was
born on June 10, 1884, in Kelvedon, Es-
sex. He received an ordinary education
under strong religious influences and
became @ very early an usher in school
st M.osslnS Silani, in which humble capac-
lty ne developed astonishing powers Of
pubic speaking, and was especially ef-
fective in religious exhortation. His
relatives. who were Independents, Of
fered to have him trained for the minis
try, but he declined because he held
l3aptlst views. Later he relin-
qu1shed these and joined the church
formerly presided over by Robert Hall
at Cambridge. He became a village
preacher at Teversham and soon after.
became pastor of Baptist chapel at
Waterbeach. At this period, only II
years old, he delivered series Of dis
courses, which attracted an immense
crowd and spread his fame through En-
gand and even America as the :.boy
preacher" Having been offered the
chapel IN New Park street, Southwark,
he preached for the first time in London
IN 1858, with such success that the edi-
nee had to be enlarged to accommodate
the growing congregation. In 1861 the
metropolitan tabernacle was built,
which holds four or five thousand peo.
pie, and there the famous preacher has
remained to this day. Since 1858 his
sermons have been published weekly
and sold throughout the Protestant
world in increasing numbers. In 1887
Mr. Spurgeon severed his connection
with the Baptist union because it toler-
ated heretical views on the subject of
he'll. This gave rise to long contro-
versy. In 1888 he celebrated the delivery
OF his 20O0th sermon. The pastors col
!egee, the Colportage association, the
book fund and the supplementary pas
tors aid fund were all founded by Mr..
Spurgeon in support of his work at the
tabernacle.

brands and cancel for future use such
brands as are no longer used by the
owners, or where the owners have left
the state for good, and still hold the
brand here on record. This mightevent-
ually lead to a state bureau of brands
where all applications for the use OF a
new brand, would have to be approved.
Furthermore, law is badly needed
to regulate "round-ups." Ii the round
.ups" can not be wholly abolished in or
ganized and settled counties, they should
at least be restricted in such counties to
a certain time, which should be made
public at least two weeks prior to the
roundup" taking place in any locality,
SO that local owners OF stock may have
an opportunity to meet them, and take
care Of their stock. By owners OF small
herds, more stock is lost and scattered
and never found again, by the rightful
owners, through these "round-ups,"
than through any other cause. Either
the stock is taken Intentionally or
unintentionelly the fact remains the
same that the rightful owners are de-
prived Of their property and mostly
those, who can least afford to lose, are
the losers.
Another question, which is closely
connected with the 'round-ups" and
which has puzzled me very often is the
maverick question. The practice has
undergone several changes during the
last ten years. Some years ago, the un-
branded stock, OF which the owners
were not represented or known, and
which was gathered in, during the
around -ups'' was divided amongst the
managers OF the round-ups, later on,
4 these auimals were claimed by the own
ers or claimants Of the range on which
they were found and still later, by the
person who found them and drove them

The supposition ls, ofcourse that thes.
animals belong to one or the other o
the parties attending these rotnd-ups
and were overlooked or not found OF

Dipping Candles Long Age.

When time for candle-dipping came
The smooth and slender rods were
brought;
The yellow tallow melted well
In kettles and in boilers caught
And then we young folks would sit down
And dip the long, white candle wicks
Into the mass, and laugh to see
The candles growing on our sticks.
And mother, with her loving smile,
Would tell US characters were built,
For veal or woe, by dipping off
In wisdom's fount of sin and guilt;
And that if we would have our lives
Give forth pure and healthful glow,
We must be vigilant to shun
Companionship with vice below
Sometimes the neighbors would come in
And we would have dipping bee"
With stalwart boys and rosy girls,
All bubbling DER with health and glee.
Twas there my youthful heart began
To struggle in loves mighty grip;
Twas there that Cupid bent his bow
And shot me with tallow dip.
All for pair of rogush eyes,
And ruby lips and cheeks of rose,
! grew too thin for any use
Except to scare away the crows;
or course had rival, and
He was a tall, lank. cheeky chap,
Who like a half-closed jack-knife bowed.
And Strengthened upward with snap
Twas at another dipping bee"
That when the candles were all made,
''Now, Susie. what shall we do nextr'
My rival asked the pretty maid;
Her answer filled my heart with Joy.
And eked his cup with bitter dregs;
SAID she, II guess twould do no harm
TO make bee and dip your legs"
That settled him. and took heart,
And hencefortb ever bolder grew,
Until in matrimonial sweets
The parson gently dipped us two;
And ever since, our love serene
Has burned, undimmed BY Jealous doubt
And will until death comes at last.
And snuffs us two old lovers out.

A Refornatory Needed.

A recent case in New York has
again brought to public notice the great
need that exists in that State. for re-
formatory for women. There is an ex-
cellent State Reformatory for men at
Elmira, but no corresponding institu-
,ion for women. Mrs. Josephine Shaw
Lowell and others on the State Board
of Charity have called the attention Of
the Legislature to this crying evil. but
iu vain. Now, to emphasize the want,
there occurs this case A young won
an of education and refinement was
brought, before Judge Ewing for tri-
fling offence. As her guilt was proved,
he had no other course than to SEN
lence her to the penitentiary. In so
doing. the Judge gave forcible express
sion to his regret that there existed no
reformatory to viii, she could be sent,
as the influences OF such place must
be tar more salutary than those of a
penal institution. He said, There
ought to be as great desire to reform
women as to reform men," and ex-
pressed the hope that the Legislature
would make provisions for the estab-
lisllment of such reformatory at its
next session. lu commenting upon the
case. the Ne,O York Sun says editorial
ly:
Instances like this of grotesque and
illogical discrimination furnish one OF
tue strongest arguments for woman
suffrage. and so long as men only have
the making of the laws, they are bound
as a matter of honor TO make those laws
equal for men and women.
Thus. little by little, is public senti-
ment created and crystallized in be-
half of our cause Lille Deuereul

The Difference Of q Title.

For ages, woman has been advanced
TO honor, influence, office, and the
highest public trusts, if she will accept
them in aristocratic forms. Women
as members OF the ruling classes, are
emancipated from many clogs which
yet hinder those lower down in the So
cial scale. If it be as a representa-
tive of noble family, or OF public
order. woman is permitted to take her
place in public affairs. She may be an
abbess, q countess, a queen. To-day,
the proudest throne on the globe is
honored by woman. No person is
shocked that she is at the head of en-
pire. 1t is only woman wthom title
that must have no privileges. With
crown on her brow, she may enter par
liaments, and govern empires. With
only her own simple personal virtues,
she may not lift up her hand to cast q
vote. Now, as . Christian democrat,
| assert for her every right and every
privilege that aristocracy accords her.
That which is good enough for queen
is not too good for my wife. That
which is noble in q duchess is honor

Beecher.
