MAN AND HIS PALACE.
Where the Dual Nature in Man Might dav

Where the Dual Nature in Man Might Have
Originated.
This human race of ours has much to
be thankful for Sometimes fear as if
even the best of us do not sufficiently
realize the goodness Of God. Take this
single facts the adaptation of the world
to our comfort and happiness. The
sixth day of creation had arrived. The
palace of the world was made, But there
was no king to live in it Leviathan
ruled the deep; the eagle the air; the
lion the field; but where was the scep-
ter which should rule all? A new style
of being was created. Heaven and
earth were represented in his nature.
His body from the earth beneath; his
soul from the Heaven above. The one
reminded him of his origin, the other
speaking of his destiny himself the
connecting link between the animal
creation and angelic intelligence. In
him strange commingling of the tenn
poral and eternal, the finite and the in
finite, dust and glory. The earth for his
floor, and heaven for his roof; God for
his Father; eternity for his life time.
The Christian anatomist, gazing upon
the conformation Of the human body,
exclaims: "Fearfully and wonderfully
madel' No embroidery SO elaborate, no
gauze SO delicate, no color so exquisite,
no mechanism so graceful, no handi-
work so divine So quietly and mys-
teriously does the human body perform
its functions. that it was not until five
thousand years after the creation of the
race that the circulation Of the blood
was discovered; and, although anato-
mists Of all countries and ages have
been SO long exploring this castle of
life, they have only begun to under
stand It Whether we consider the hui
man body as whole, or individual por-
tons of it the mind is dazed at the mar

spirit Is as alert, his glance is as keen
and alight as ever. Though he does
not rise upon our entrance, making no
ceremony with friends, he leads at once
an animated conversation. It IS q SUM
mer day, or rather, early autumn; but
the weather has been chilly and the
winds are blowing from that dismal
quarter, the east, so that the poet is
wearing loose wrapper, and around
his neck white silk handkerchief
loosely knotted.
BY the way, on the left side of his
neck there lodges small brown birth
mark, very characteristic, as If drop
of dark wine had dropped there and
had stained the skin. His hands are
manly and powerful in outline, but del
icate and finely formed, as those OF a
poet should be. On his head, as an ad-
ditional protection from the caprices
OF the English weather, he wears
small black velvet cap These precau-
lions are the more necessary, because not
long ago he was suffering sadly from
rheumatism and bronchitis, which at
one time, indeed, filed all his friends
with anxiety, and became for weeks to-
gether national concern

CHINESE TARs IN NEW YORK.
They Would Like to Stay Here If They
Weren't Watched So Closely.

They Would Like to Stay Here If They
Weren't Watched So Closely.
Chinese sailors who have shipped on
vessels bringing tea to American ports
have very little opportunity to escape
when they reach New York, says the
New York Sun. OF course every China
man in the crew knows that If he could
get ashore and join the Mott street col
ony he could soon make enough money
to go home and set up shop. This is
the Chinaman's ambition.
Several days ago an agent offered
man with s'pulr' five hundred dol
lars If he would help him smuggle in a
Chinaman. The agent said that the
Chinaman and his friends were willing
to contribute one,thousand dollars for
this purpose. Officers on the tea ships
guard themselves carefully against the
desertion of their Cinnamon.
The old Scotch Ben line of freight
steamers, running between China and
American ports, employs many China
men. One OF the officers Of the Ben Lo-
mond said the other day:
The Cinnamon are all anxious to get
away when they reach an American
port The captain, however, has to
sign heavy bond when he enters port
making himself responsible for the safe
keeping of his Cinnamon. Consequent
" the captain holds back the pay of
the Cinnamon and tell sthem that the
first man caught going over the side
will be fined. That settles it. If they
were to be punished in any other way
they would pay no attention to the or
der, but every Johnny OF them is afraid
of being fined. In addition to this, they
are watched more or less closely. Most
of our Cinnamon are Canton men who
were shipped at Hong Kong. They are
employed in the engine rooms and in
the donkey engine rooms, and also as
trimmers. They are faithful and never
get drunk. For that reason they are
valuable. They mess together and
have their own cook. When they have
saved little money they are discharged
and open a shop. We have with us a
very good lot of Cinnamon and they
never offer to escape here"

In o recent address by Mr.. Gladstone
he asked, apparently with entire Sc
robustness, where in all Gods creation
there was place for an lille rich man.
The question, of course, intimated a
doubt The most obvious reply, we
should suppose, would be that the place
in Gods creation for an idle rich man,
as for any other existing object, Is the
one where he is found. 1t is, at least,
hardly open to so earnest believer in
the divine rule to doubt the soundness
of such an answer. Doubtless, how
ever, the question was in its form
rather rhetorical than reasoning, and
Mr.. Gladstone meant to imply that the
purpose of the idle rich is as puzzling
as that OF any other kind of evil, as to
which mankind has speculated from
time irnmemorial. Taking the remark
in that way, the significance of it is in
the light it throws, not merely on the
progress of the democratic and social
istic idea in England but on the prog
ress of rationalism also, since 1t is not
very long ago that no man in Mr.. Glad
stones rank in public life would have
been tempted to put his views In this
form He would not have cared to ex-
press even by inference suspicion
that whatever is is not divinely decreed
and placed.-N. Y. Times.

Tho Remarkable xmposture of sThe Dy-
Ing Prophet" of Russia
ssThe Dying Prophet is just now the
sensation in Russia Certainly he is
a most extraordinary being. If he be
what is claimed, more wonderful per-
sonage does not exist. If he be an inn
poster, then he is the most marvellous
imposter of the age. The audacity of
his pretensions, the skill with which
they are maintained, and above all, the
profound effect produced upon all who
come in contact with him have no par
allel in modern history. So strong in
deed is the impression created by his
doings that the procurator of the holy
synod and other high ecclesiastical Of
fcers of the empire dare not interfere.
This strange person, says the Chicago
News, is named Tagarelh, and is OF
French or Italian extraction. He was,
however, born at Tidis, in the Caucasus,
where he has lived since childhood. He
has been bedridden and utterly help
less. A few months ago curious
change was observed. In brief, he died
to all appearances. According to all
ordinary tests he was certainly dead.
That was on Saturday. They prepared
his body for burial. The corpse lay in
its coffin until Monday, when the fur
neral was to take place. At the very
hour set for the obsequies the young
man suddenly returned to life. Ever
since the same event has occurred every
week
He declares that he really dies and
that his spirit. departing from his body,
passes into the other world. What
manner Of world it is he will not di-
vulge, nor will he tell anything of his
doings there save one. That is that he
has access to the book kept by the re-
cording angel in which are set down all
the sins of humanity. There is scarcely
a person in Tiflis who has not visited
him. They all plead guilty to the
charges he reports against them and
tearfully beseech him to intercede with
the powers of the other world in their
behalf. Thousands of people from all
parts of the empire daily throng about
his cottage, seeking to know from him
the story Of their own i'll deeds. Many
of them go in idle curiosity or in a
slzeptical spirit, but all who are admit
ted to his presence come away con-

His First Passionate In Philadelphia
Afraid He Would Not Suit.
1T has always been characteristic Of
Phillips Brooks, says Julius Fl. Ward In
the New England Magazine, that he
distrusted himself. He shrank from
the responsibility implied in taking
holy orders. He was admitted to the
diaconate in June, in 1859, by Bishop
Meade, of Virginia, and proceeded inn
mediately to the Church of the Advent,
where he preached his first sermon
from the text: Master, what is the
great commandment of the law?' It
was like him that he engaged to be a
minister of the parish for only three
months, refusing to engage longer lest
he might not come up to expectations
Then he engaged himself for a year at a
salary of thousand dollars, and at once
set about his work in earnest. His par
ish was in one of the poorer par of the
city, where it was not easy for i young
man to acquire an outside reputation;
but he was at once appreciated by the
plain people who mostly made up his
congregation. His sermons were con-
ceived in such vein that he opened to
people new life. He inspired evesy-
body. People said to one another as
they went out Of the church: That
was the Gospel we had to-day Others
would say; We never heard that here
before"

What Wears Out the school Ctrl1s
A lady recently told me that her
daughter who was attending school was
nearly worn out with her studies; she
told me how many books the daughter
was studying and how many hours she
was porting over them in school and at
night, and that it was too much'for her.
l asked the mother to examine her
daughters school satchel and see if it
did not contain other than school books.
She did so. and gave me a list of several
exciting novels. l then told her to see
what book her daughter had under her
pillow at night, whether it was her
English grammar, English literature or
novel, and it was always a novel. So
it was plain to me that it was not by
her school studies that this young lady
was worn out, but by loss of sleep and
the excitement of novel-reading, and
that is what wears out great many
young people. Besides this continuous
novel reading, the young girl must go
to a party once or twice week and
stay up until twelve or one o'clock;
then she must be in school the next
day and with the trying to keep up
with her classes and to keep up with
the demands of society and fashion,
her health gives way; and yet, the
breakdown is always charged to over
study, when, If she would live simply
and avoid unnecessary excitement, it is
not likely that her school work you'd
do her any harm From a lecture by
