The prayer was answered, and the

Three years before, this young girl
came to the city and took position
in large store, where the wages were
scanty. and where temptation finally
wrought ruin. Deceived and broken

it shall be sent as fast as collected to

structions to hold it for that purpose,
until the whole amount is raised.
Those who do not care to be troubled
with the quilt making can contribute

as with men, this is the true mode of
giving.
AS women progress they must drop
many artificial requirements now in
vogue, and set their lives to the key
note of an elegant simplicity i'll all
things such as, for INSTANCE, was the
rule in Emerson's home. In nothing
just now are they more burdenea than
irsfalse and onerous plans Of money
getting to sustain outside organiza-
tions. If every woman would devote
the energy she gives to a supper, to
making five dollars for her own con-
tribution, she would gain in time and
lose in worry. These things have met
a great want and nobly have women
filled the gap; but | think we shall
learn there is a more excellent way.
Where there is to be conveyed whole
some moral or educational effect as
in the Medal contests, they are always
well. I hope by next convention we
can send in handsome amount with
thanksgiving.

Incident of the Flower Mission.

1t was in city hospital ward. The
little single bed waa without spot or
stain. Upon the pillow lay fair
young face, pale and drawn. The
large dark eyes, luminous in their gaze,
looked out wistfully, appealingly into
space. The fevered lips, parched and
dry, shaped incoherent words The
restless fingers seized the covers with
convulsive grasp, while shudders
shook the wasted frame.
"She has congestion of the BRAIN"
said the hospital nurse. "She was
found unconscious on the street and
was brought here. There was nothing
about her to tell who she was or where
she lived. She cannot last long. Sad,
isn't it?"
just then two ladies approached
with basket of flowers. One was a
member of the Flower Mission, the
other was the donor of that especial
basket, who had brought it with her
from her country home, and who now
accompanied her friend to see the
flowers distributed.
They took out bunch to lay on the
little hospital bed. ''She is too far
gone,'' said the nurse, ito notice them"
However, the lady reached over the
sufferer, and gently laid cluster of
the sweet-scented honeysuckles upon
the pillow
Slowly the dying girl opened her
eyes with questioning gaze. Her
hands relaxed and rested upon her bo-
som. For the first time in many hours
she breathed quietly. A great peace

AS to a New Republican Party.

The League of Republican Clubs, whose
proceedings at Louisville a few days ago
have already been chronicledi in this paper.
is not a body authorized to formulate q
creed for the Republican party. II is rather
a wheel within q wheel-a faction organ
ICED TO work in the interest of the Repub-
lican party Of the same time that 1t looks
TO its own interests and provides means
OF making its influence felt in the councils
Of the party, both national aud State. But
during tho sessions of this league in Louis
vile the Republican National Committee
was also in session there, and therefore
the league may be presumed to have done
nothing which did not meet with the APP
prOval Of the more important body.
We may we'll inquire what change has
come over the spirit of the dream of the
Republican party that n Republican body
representing thirty-eight States should
agree upon a party creed having In 1t not
one word on either of the two subjects
which have for years constituted the DC
all and the end-Gll" of the tasks set for 1T
self by the Republican party? These two
subjects are the protection OF American
industries and the SILVER question. Tho
SAERMAN law is ignored In the platform
erected by the League OF Republican
CluOs. Not one word is said Ia favor OF
monometallism. Expressive silence"
compels the public 10 infer that the grand

More uuaccOuutable than the omission
We have already commented upon was the
failure OF the League of Republican Clubs
10 make any utteranco on the tarlh ques-
tion. The McKINLET law was passed over
IN silence. The doctrine. of protection to
American industries was not commended
to the approving consideration OF tho peo-
pie. The comparative merits OF an at
yQ'orem tariff and a tam of specific duties
were not touched upon. Ia u word, the

supersedo those issues IN 1893, for, Us we
