Arecdote Of Or. DufieId.

A good story is told of the late Rev.
DR.. Drffield, the eminent Presbyterian
clergyman. He was exceedingly fond
of IL Jest, and once when the synod met
in Philadelphia he entertained at din
ner Rev. Mr.. Strain, the clerk Of the
body, into whose pocket, already cram
med with papers pertaining to the meet
ing, DR.. Duffield slipped pack Of cards
loosely rolled UP i'll paper. When they
returned to the church and the session
was resumed, Strain rose to read re-
port, and thrusting his hand into his
pocket drew out the pack of cards, which.
being loose, were scattered on the table
and floor.
Dufield enjoyed the fun. But Strain,
not at all embarrassed, yet with awful
solemnity, looking at Or. Dufield, said,
when I see that man in the pulpit, !
ana SO delighted and edited with his
preaching that feel as if he ought never
to come out, but when l see his levity
ont of the pulpit am disposed to think
that he should never enter it again.

Christian Endeavor "knows no high,
no low, no rich, no poor" The Endeav-
orer is as likely to come from the cottage

and therefore democratic movement.
There is only one thing worse than de-
liberately breaking the Christian En-

Whence the Water Of the Great
Lakes.

Where do the waters of Lake Mich.
igan come from Ia an old question
as old as the artesian wells. Where
do their waters come from? Col.
Foster, an eminent civil engineer, fol
many years in charge Of Government
interest on the lake, was fond of talk.
ing on the first subject.
every drop of those waters" he
was often heard to declare, "came
from tho Rocky Mountains" His
theory was that they were brought
her subterraneously, but he never, to
our knowledge, marked out the course
of the subterraneous stream.
He announced that as his conviction
long before-indeed, he died before
the sinking of srtesian wells in Chic
ago and the consequent discovery of
the now undoubted fact.
William B. Ogden held the same
view, and used at times to make HIM
self very interesting in expatiating
upon it. With him, as we'll as with
Col. Foster, it was no more than
theory, but he adhered to it firmly.
Mr.. Cregier, who is scientific before
he is a politician, is wont to talk APP
provingly of the theory in a manner
to convince any man.
The phenomenon is the running out
of this lake through the others of the
easterly chain and over Niagara Falls
OF an incalculable quantity of water;
every minute in the hour, every hour
in the day, every day in the year, and
every year in progressive time!
The lake has no visible inlets
where, then, does it get its replen ish-
ment? From the Rocky Mountains.
Through rents and crevices, down
into caverns at the roots of these
pour over the waters from
snow. Four thousand feet
they sink to strike a gravity incline
that levels with their floor under
Chicago.
Under this city and elsewhere on
the west side of Lake Michigan this
is the proved-the snow-covered
Rocky Mountains are constantly send
ing their waters to supply flowage
and evaporation that is ever going
forward in the watery expanse.-I

Christian Duty.

It belongs to the very essence of Chris
tan duty that we should make the most
Of ourselves, that W. should develop all
our powers and know as much of this
mysterious life that we are living, of its
laws and methods and duties, as is pos
sihIe. We are put into this world not
that we may stray carelessly along its
paths for few years, but that we may
know it, and that we may SO use it that
we shall demonstrate our superiority to
it, and so come to discern our need of
and fitness for some other world-some
other mansion i'll Gods great house.

ToPIo-Vow and pay. Eccl. v, 4; Col. III,
22-24.
A vow is a solemn promise made to
God, usually under peculiar circum-
stances, to perform certain duty or to
refrain from something. Vows were
very common in the old dispensation,
and laws were formulated to regulate,
them. The laws did not introduce the
VOW, but simply curtailed the practice
of it. Three kinds of vows are men,
toned in the Old Testament-vows of
devotion, of abstinence and Of destruc-
tion. Our topic deals with vows both to
God and to man and emphasizes one
feature in both cases, and that is the
payment of vows when once made.
z. Vows to God. Eccl v, 4, when
thou vowest vow unto God, defer not
to pay it." The custom of making par
ticular vows to God is a very ancient
one. The earliest Of such vows is that
of Jacob at Bethel. It is only natural
that in times of peculiar trial, of great
perplexity, Of severe affection. that we
should make vows unto God IL he would
deliver us, or evon in times Of great and
unexpected blessings to vsw to devote
come special Offering unto God to show
our gratitude. God does not demand
such vows Of us, yet they are not dis
pleasing TO Hin- PerhaYs He would
rather that we should always DO III such
a relation to Him, that no extra vows
could be made, because we faithfully
performed all our own duties. But since
such a condition Is rarely found God
does not dislike our vows, but He does
demand Of us that when made vows
should be faithfully paid. He does not
make it obligatory upon us to make vows,
but he does oblige US to fulfill them. II
we are in trouble or distress, He does
not require us to vow q vow If He de-
ivers US, but He expects us to keep it
If we do. Too many VOWS are not paid.
This is highly displeasing to God. 1t is
a sin against Him. Therefore when we
VOW let us pay our vows.
2. Vows to man. Col. iii, 22-24 "Serv-
ants, obey in all things your masters"
This is the principle Of VOWS between
man and man. Payment is the thing
required. 1t is the same as between man
and God. We are not required TO make
obligations to our fellow men, but If we
do our promises should be faithfully
kept. No one is compelled to take the
marriage vow, but when taken it should
be sacredly guarded and fulfilled. No
one is obliged to accept Office under his
government and to vow the performance
of certain duties, but if he does his Office
should be looked upon as sacred trust,
never to be violated. The servant should
obey his master i'll all things-or. in other
words, whenever one msu vows to an
other the performance of certain duties,
these should be as faithfully kept as If
he had vowed to God himself.

afternoon and left in the evening to reioin the
President at Buzxards Bay. He spent about
half an hour at the War Department after $50
o'clock and disposed of some public matters
requiring his personal attention. The prin-
cipal object Of his visit was to close
up negotiations which have been pend
ing some time for the lease Of the
Wood house, on 81 street opposite
Lafayette Park, next door to the Corcorau
House, now occupied by Senator Brice The
bargain was quickly consummated yesterday
and the Secretary leased the building for term
