was noticed The air grew very dark
and then a moaning sound was heard,

How many a child Of God stands without,
while between him and the Father there is
barrier less penetrable than a wooden door.
The child cannot see the Fathers face. nor
Is there any effort so to do; for there's more
than half a suspicion that the petition to be
presented or the request TO be made. is con-
trary to his will.

ascertaining his will, the hand Of faith VIII

Heine the infidel, said: "What a book!
Vast and wide as the world, rooted in the
abysses of creation, and towering up behind
the blue secrets OF heaven. Sunrise and
sunset, promise and fu fllment, birth and
death, the whole drama of humanity, all in
this book"
Prof. Huxley writes II have been seri-
ously perplexed to how how the religious
feeling, which Is the essential base OF con-
duct, can be kept up without the use OF the
Bible. The pagan moralists lack life and
color. and even the noble Stole, Marcus
Aurelius, is too high and refined for an or
dinaTy child. For three centuries this book
has been woven into the life of all that is
best and noble in English history.

left his village, to be ignorant Of the ex-
istCnce of other countries and other civi!iZa-

casting a Columbian Liberty Bell
weighing 49, pounds, composed
partly of jewels, silver, rare coins and
all sorts of precious contributions from
women and children in all parts of the

contributions will greatly exceed the

GOOD COUNSEL.

Look within. Keep the internal fires burn,
ing. Build the home affairs. Add 10 the
time in the closet. Heat and efficiency do
not so much depend upon external Ms inter
mails. 1t is we'll to have combined effort; IL
is well to have bands and straps cut; but it
is Of vast importance to have the inward life
aglow with personal contact with the unseen
and eternal. Perhaps there is over-much
looking at outside measures, and too little
attention to the Internal fires thLt feed the
outward movement. Build up home altar
Drill in patient Bible study. Study, not only
the external movings of holiness, but the lie
of il in thy soul. Learn, il possible, all that
hurts thy soul. Learn, SO far as possible,
the kind Of climate that best suits its life
Seek continually the richer spiritual pastur-
age which best feeds thy souls wants. II

terna conquest of holiness, look Within

The voting Of nO-liccnsc in the cities Of
LYNN and Salem is having a salutary effect
on the whiskey market in Boston, but it will
prove rather expensive TO those municipal
ties. Men come here from those places to
"fll up" and a minority Of them, of course,
make other purchases besides the rum, and
this trade must lie seriously felt in the cities
mentioned Whatever view may be taken
of this action on the part Of Lynn and
Salem, it seem, to me unwisc for cities in
the immediate vicinity of Boston to
vote no-icensc SO long as the
sale of intoxiclnt' is unrestricted here, rs ii
certainly works injury to the business inter-
ests of those places IN the shape | have
mentioned. Last week was the first cold.
water week in the shoe city, AMI the largely
increased numbers from that town were
quite noticeable. Nearly every one had
jag' on, and besides the "load" in the head
had armsfuI of other merchandise bought in
the city. Until such time as Boston goes
no-liCcnse think it would be good policy
for our suburban cities to grant licenses and
thus not only retain their trade, but keep
their "druuks' at home.

Lanterns Extensively Used In China.

The ordinary lanterns carried in fun
eral or wedding professions III China
have a split bamboo frame, covered VITA
paper or gauzc, and measure from two
to three feet in diameter. On the surface
is painted the surname and titles Of tue
family. Ii II wedding procession, the
decorations and letters should be red
aud black, with as much red and as lit.
tie black as possible. If funeral, the
coloring should be blue, no other tint
being permissible except in the case o! a
very high mandarin. Here yellow, tho
sacred or imperial color, may be n
ploye |, or yellow aud black. The COM
mon herd is not permitted to carry the
mandarin lanterns; at least such is the
law When, however, the celcbrants
are willing to salvc the officials palms,
the law becomes Il dead letter. For the
poor, who can spare little money, are
globes and egg shaped lanterns, made OF
split bamboo, rattan or wire, and glazed
paper or oiled cloth. They range fro II
six inches in diameter to three and even
four feet. The ground of the exterior
is either white or the natural color OF
the covering. Upon it is painted, in
red or blue, great characters, which
either indicate the name of the owner or
else express some favorite maxim or
quotation from the poets. The idea OF
carrying lantern at night, on which is
written the name Of the owner and his
rank and titles or his business houses
name, is to show the public that he is q
citizen, and not highwaymen. Ii he
has any title or rank he is admitted to
places of entertainment without trouble,

to titles and lanterns than to the person
