THE GIRL AT THE FOOTBALL
GAME.
(Adapted.)
took the gentle Annabel
To see n football game,
And thus unto friend OF hers
Did she describe the same:
" Oh. May, you should have seen them play,
Twas such lovely sight!
And thoagh the hrst game had seen
understood it quite.
/" First came the U. c. s in blue and gold.
Then Stanfords came in red.
one fellow yelled, the rest all tried
To jump upon his head.
." And then one fellow stopped and stopped
And all the rest got round,
And every fellow stopped and stopped
And looked hard at the ground.
' And then another fellow yelled.
And eaeh man, where he stood.
just hit and struck and knocked and kicked
At everyone he could.
4" And then one fell upon his neck,
And all the Others ran.
And on his prone anu PROSTATE form
Leaped every blessed man.
And then the ambulance drove on,
And loading up with men
With twisted necks ana broken lungs
Went driving OF again.
g" Oh. footballs just the cutest game!
1t cannot be surpassed;
But yet II really is shame
To use up men so FAST

Commenting upon Professor Huxley's
recent Romanes lecture at oxford, the
VutciHGn (Bapt.) of Boston observes:
Evolution, Professor Huxley thinks.
may give us an understanding of the evo-
luton of the esthetic family, but he
says, 'ail the understanding in the world
viii neither increase nor diminish the
force of the intuition that this is beautiful
and that is ugly In this last sentence
he has made one of the most vital con-
cessions to the advocates of a spiritual
philosophy. And what he says about
the esthetic perceptions applies with still
more force to the perception of duty. The
intuition of right and wrong is neither
increased nor diminished by our under
standing of the evolution OF morality.
When the evOlutiOnists have done eX-
planning, they have not accounted for the
intuition OF beauty or OF right and wrong.
II exists in human nature apart from the
structure for which evolution seeks to ac-
count. These institutions link man with
another order of being than that which
the evolutlouists can explore. Hardly
less Important is Professor Huxley's un-
qualified denial that because animals and
plants have advanced in perfection of
organization by means Of the struggle for
existence and the consequent Survival Of
the tttest,' men ana ethical beings must
look to the same process to help them

A PICARDY PASTORAL.

The wagner Pierre is tail and straight,
His eyes are brave and clear:
And they shine with softer, deeper light
When sweet Lsette is near.
Fair maids there be in Picardy
As any that may be met;
But none more bright and fresh to see
Than td l0jtieTe Lisette.
Small heed they give to the sleepy team
RMS sIumbrous summer day;
But well by meadow, wood ana stream
The oxen knew the way.
Pierre rules the plow, Lisette the COW,
The butter and the cheese;
10 the little n1d1'che they take their way
Through lanes of poplar trees.
And he and she for summers three
Have worked on the same farm.
While round them love its meshes wove.
And wrought daily charm.
Life moves for them in one straight groove
Is spun in one gray tone;
But they We unlocked the world of love
And made it ali their own
For love still laughs at rank and rule.
And richer crown, ween,
May weave Tor maid at milking-Stool
Than thrOned queen.

Referring to the case of the Rev. Mr..
Noyes, the New York independent says:
IL seems to US an exceedingly small and
mean policy Tor the Liberals to lay all the
blame for the disappointment they feel
upon the Prudential Committee. Why
not lay 1t upon the board 1t is the board
which is responsible for the instructions.
1t IS the board which adopted them and
which has repeatedly reaflirmed them,
and has more than once refused to mod
lily them. 1t is the board which has re-
peatedly approved the administration Of
Prudential Committee. Why not attack
the American Board? Of course the ma
jority of the board have the right to die
tate It's policy ana to give instructions to
the Prudential Committee; but if the Lib
erals were governed by perfectly fair and
Just motives they would level their at
tacks against the board, and insist that it
should change its policy. Instead of do
ing that they keep hammerlng away at
the Prudential Committee, trying to dis
credit 1t because it conscientiously en-
deavors to do its duty according to the
rules laid down for its guidance. The
DHtloob and the C0nGfegutjOnuLiSt are
now as one in their method of warfare"

On this subject the New York Outlook
remarks: 1.-THE Prudential Committee
carefully avoids in it's minute any refer
ence OF the case of Mr.. Noyes to the
board. None the less does its decision
force the question of his appointment
upon that body. The committee declines
to appoint on the ground Of its 'instruc-
uons.' II explicitly, and even obtrusively,
makes the board responsible for its ac-
ton. The board is now compelled to say
whether or not this action expresses its
mind and viii. This is the inevitable
question to be decided at Worcester next
October. ST What is the need Of the
hour and of the world? Are not men
everywhere calling for o gospel which can
De preached on every continent and
island as the wisdom and love Of God?
vi all bodies. a missionary society should
most seduiOusly cultivate the simplicity
that is towards Christ and guard liberty

the essential doctrines, and no others.
Its agents are to work under all the vary
ing conditions OF human life, under all
skies, in all lands. The issue raised by
the case Of Mr.. Moves can be settled by
the board in way which win give for
ward movement to the whole missionary
work OF our time. What is necessary to
Christian faith can be exalted. What be-
longs to opinion can be so distinguished.
Liberty can be vindicated, while loyalty
to Christ is insisted upon. The rejection
OF Mr.. NoyeS means loss and disaster.

Speaking of the international Sunday
school system of Biblical instruction, the
0HJregutioRdEst Of Boston says: THE
frequent criticisms on the committee in
conventions and in the religious press
because it has not modified or changed
the system have been misdirected crti-
cisms. The reason why the present sys-
tenn is continued is that it has been the
the judgment Of the Protestant Sunday
schools of the United States and Great
Britain, as expressed in the respective
conventions OF their representatives, that.
all things considered, This is the best sys-
tenn so far discovered. Those who be-
lieve change is desirable have wasted
much ammunition by firing away at the
Lesson Committee. Their proper object
of attack Is the International Convention.
which is to meet at st. Louis August 3lst
to September 9Th. At that meeting, and
the Worlds Suuday-school Convention
TO be held in connection with it, it is ex-
pected that eminent Sunday school
workers from other lands, as well as
many in our own country, will be pres
ent. Very important results may come
from that gathering. 1t is attracting
much less public attention than it de-
serves. The eyes of those interested in
the worlds study of the Bible should be
turned towards that assembly which in
few weeks is to be held in St. Louis"

seek employment TO earn
their daily bread, and most
generally they could not find
employment only when they
ought to have been prepar-
ing for themselves to put out
Il crop: but men must have
food, and they they were
compelled to neglect their
business, and by being neg
le.ted their crop is not hall
what it ought to have been,
and each year makes it worse.
By not raising enough grain
for food and feeling, many
fail to raise pork sufficient
Tor their own use, and thus
is caused another leak for
the small surplus of money.
These and many other like
evils which our people have
been careless enough to per-
nit a beginning are the main
causes OF our present hard
times. They are like an elder
sprig which begins to grow
in II rich field. 1t does not
occupy much space at first,
but every year itspreads far
ther and farther and in a
short time it has covered the
field. A man does not think
it a very big thing to buy a
little grain or feed, but ev-
cry cent that he spends in
that way is that much capi-
tai stock sold from his farm,
if he is a farmer, and renders
him that much behind in his
next years proceeds and the
result ls increased by arit"-
metical progression every
year it is continued. Let our
farmers begin to think. Don't
think about the West for
that tends toward an unset
tied mind; hut think over the
best plans for producing en-
ough grain and sustenance
for themselves a nd stock,
that they may be able to
keep their stock until til e
market ia fair, instead of be-
ing compelled to sell it at a
sacrifice or let it starve, or
spen,l half as much money
as it is worth to- buy feed for
it. Study how 70 manage to
produce sufficient supplies 80
that YOU will have enough
and to spare, and then the
change you have accumula-
ted can go towards supply
ing yourselves with m ore
comforts Of towards the i'm
provem"nt OF your farms,
and YOU can begin to rejoice
