mISSTONARY WE'RE.

There is no God but God; aud Moham-
med is his prophet" So say and 80 believe
to day about 150, 600, 900 of the inhabitants
parently losing some of its vitality it is
still very important and influential relig-
ion 1t is making great progress among
the pagan African races, and 1t Is said to
be making some progress In London, the
chief city of Christian civilization. It is
to be tried on the people of this country.
Alexander Russell Webb, formerly consul
at Msrils, thinks he has found that No
hammed was the real prophet, and he is
apparently burning with zeal to save sin
ners and turn Christians into Moham-
medans. He ia now in New York and
is to begin to explain his mission this even
ing to some of those interested.
1t seems little odd that a Mohammedan
missionary should be rent or feel called
upon to work for the epread of his religion
in the United States. but 1t is really no
more queer than that the missionaries of
the American board should go to Moham-
medsn countries to spread their religion.
And we suppose that the missionaries of
the board are received in many heathen
countries very much as Brother Webs will
be received in this. He will be laughed
at, his sincerity will be questioned, he will
be accused of being Mohammedan for
"what there is in It," and if he is very
much in earnest he may even be
mobbed or martyred. But We have
no doubt that If he is per-
severing he will find converts, just as
other missionaries do. In all lands there
are people ready to change their religion
If they see good reason for II, and in this
country just now there are many who are
really hunting around for some new re-
ligious experience to go through They
will follow Webb if he talks right to them,
just as they would follow a theosoph or o
fre-worshipper. There are some such
people in New Haven, and there are slso
some here whom any kind of religion
would improve. As there is no reason to
hope that they will embrace Christianity
We hope they will become Mohsmmedans.
There are some things in the Mohamme-
dan religion, such as easy divorce, polyg-
| amy, houris, etc, that are calculated to
make 1t popular with men, but women
have no particular reason for Fastening to
| become Mohammedans. Mohammei i didn't
have very lofty ideas of women, although
(or was 1t becauseD he had several wives,
who we're very good to him. But he
taught that the majority of the inhabi-
tants of hell are women, and he did not
make it appear that the women who get
| into paradise would fare well az the
men. He threw out some comfort for the
poor by declaring that they would enter
paradise five hundred years before the
rich, and promised good time to the
commonest male inhabitant of paradise.
It will be interesting to watch Mission.
ary Webb's performances. He seems to
take himself as seriously as any mission.
ary could possibly do. he shows that he
knows a thing or two by asserting that the
instincts of the modern American are IN
doubtedly polygamous, but he does no,
call polygamy necessity of Mohammedan
ism, and he does not intend to advocate II

The Saint and the sinner.

Heart-worn and weary the woman sat
Her baby sleeping across her knee,
And the work her fingers were toiling at
Seemed pitiful task for such as she.
Mehding shoes for the little feet
That pattered over the cabin floor,
While the bells of the Sabbath day rang sweet
And the neighbors passed by the open door.
The children played and the baby slept,
And the busy needle went and came,
When 10, on the threshold stone there slept
priestly figure, and named her name;
"What shift is this for the Sabbath day,
When bells are calling, far and near
The people gather to praise and pray
Woman, why are you toiling here!"
Like one in a dream she answered low:
Father, my days are work-days all;
know not Sabbath. / dare not go
Where the beautiful bells ring out and call,
For who would look to the meat and drink
And tend the children and keep the place:
pray in silence, and try to think,
For Gods love can listen, and give me grace.
The years passed on, and with fast and prayer
The good priest climbed to the gate OF rest,
And tired woman stood waiting there,
Her work-worn hands to her bosom pressed
"Oh, Faint, thrice blessed, mount thou on high,
Hs heard the welcoming angels say;
When meekly, gently, she passed him by,
Who had mended shoes on the Sabbath day.

NEW JERSEYS SHAME.

Well may the honest people of New
Jersey bow their heads in shame at the
wicked action of their senate in passing
courageous Governor Werts. These bills
provide that the authorities of counties
and towns in that State may license race
tracks within their jurisdiction, that bet
ting on the races may be allowed within
the Enclosures of licensed race tracks, and
that the owners of such tracks ehsll not be
liable to Indictment for keeping disoIderly
houses, which means that they may have
pool rooms and betting places elsewhere
than at the race tracks.
The gamblers appear to have the New
Jersey legislature right in their breeches
pocket, as tie saying is. These bills were
rushed through at first almost without de-
bate An effort was even made to hurry
be inevitable, in the hope to get the bills
through without chance for pubic pro.
test. The governor didn't hurry, but
neither did he wait long, He only held
the bills one day The whole business
didn't take week. The bills were intro
duced last Monday night and were passed
in the senate over the veto on Saturday.
The people haven't had much time to pro-
test, but they have done what they could,
and there is storm Of public opinion
brewing. Meetings We're held Saturday
evening and yesterday, and the voice of
the people will soon be heard. They had
10 the senate faithful and able champion
in the person of Senator Stokes, Repub
lican. He made powerful speech against
the iniquitous bills, and that they could
be passed In the face of such a speech
shows that the senate of New Jersey has
sunk pretty low.
We do not believe there can be any euch
iniquity in Connecticut, but those who are
fighting the pool rooms here should not be
careless. And all the honest and upright
members of the legislature should take
notice of what has happened in New Jer-
sey, and should make up their minds that
Connecticut shall not be disgraoed in that

Some people are willing to make great sac
rifices during Lent. An English woman
has decided to give up champagne, and
give the proceeds to charity, and she ap-
peals to other women to follow her ex-
| ample. Many of her dear sisters In Eng
land will be glad If they don't have to give
up bread.
Harry Furniss, the London caricsturist,
remarked the other day that he very sell
dom caricatures a woman. Mr.. Furniss
went on to explain that on two or three
occasions when he had suocumbed to the
temptation he had raised great deal of
ill-feeling. From his experience he has
arrived at the conclusion that women lack
the sense of humor. Men, he Gays, rarely
resent being auizzed.
It appears that q British law, which
gives retail grocers license for the sale of
wine, beer and spirits, has been demoral-
izing the households of England. By it a
woman can order these articles with her
groceries, have them in the bill as coffee,
tea. or sugar unknown to the psterfami-
lias, and tipple in the recesses Of her
house. Police aud divorce courts have
shown up this effect in startling abund
ance. and it is pretty sure that thousands
of English wives and mothers. who would
not drink in public, will clip and zip in
private till they are halfway irunksrds.
Speaking of gravestones, an eighteenth
century tombstone in the old Catholic
burying ground at Concord, Msssachu-
sets, proves that the best intended cpl
taphs may with the lapse of time take on
an ironical Significance. The stone stands
awry, is fast crumbHng and shows the
discoloration of century's exposure and
neglect, but it still bears in legible char
acters this now incongruous inscription:
''This stone is erected. by its durability to
perpetuate the memory and by its color
to signify the moral character of Miss
Absgain Dudley"
An interesting experiment in dealing
with the liquor traffic is to be tried at
Union Springs, New York, where local
committee of leading citizens, including
the Protestant Episcopal and Roman Cath
olic clergymen, propose to take charge of
the sale of all Hquorz within the town.
The committee has made an interesting
announcement, in part as follows: We
will allow no man to pay for another
mans drink. We will permit no drunk
enness, nor any approach to 1t. We will
allow no one apparently under the legal
age within our doors. We will sell to no
man If by the proper persons We are for
hidden to do SO. To certain other persons,
their names to be passed upon by major |
ity of the committee, we will not sell at
all. We will not cell spirits in larger
quantities than single glass, except on a
order, and of all such sales we |
will keep a record. These and such other
wholesome rules as from time to time we
may deem desirable, We will enforce. Our
entire profits, which will be large, will be
handed over as frequently as possible TO
the town authorities with the understand |
ing that they will be used for the purpose
of reducing the taxation of the town.
