IT MAY BE BITTER ALMONDS.

The Rev. John L.. Scudder, in the Taber-
nacle, yesterday morning, preached to a
large congregation on Spiritual Youth. y
The subject was taken from the text Luke
viii. As, "Who touched me?"
Among the many instructive things said
upon Spiritual Youth he wound up with the
character of Christ's touch. SIT is well ex-
pressed by those words of the Master i
preceive that virtue is gone out of me.
In other words, whenever and wherever
Christ touched men, whether physically or
spiritually, he blessed them. No one could
talk with Jesus without feeling himself
blessed. This should be as characteristic of
Himself.
.If, in the home circle, we expect to in
huence our children Alright, we, who are
parents, must be right ourselves. l have
seen pious notices hung upon the walls of
houses which were strangely out Of keeping
with the character of the occupants. l
heard of a religious man once who got angry
at his wife at the dinner table, and there
upon picked up the apple pie and threw it at
her head. She lodged it and the pie
splashed all over the motto" God Bless Our

prominent in the church, and could make a
good prayer, but who were despised by every
employee in their establishment, on account
of their meanness and domineering spirit. |
have Known women who looked like Madon-
mas in the house of God, they were so sweet
and devout, and yet in the social circle they
would backbite and blackguard one another
in the most shameful manner. Now, all
such faults and failings tell upon people. We
may look like sweet almonds and yet be
nothing but bitter almonds after all. One

An unusually interesting and we'll attended
meeting was held at the Gospel temperance
Mission, No. sos Newark avenue, yesterday
afternoon. Evangelist Clemens and ]. n.
Curtis, a recent convert from the Newman
Mission, delivered telling advice, after which
some most remarkable testimonies were
given by reclaimed drunkards, some of
whom had drunk and gambled in the Mis-
sion Rooms when it was occupied as a saloon.
among those VINO spoke was Brother IN
and who told of his experience Of twenty
years on the plains in a most interesting
manner. This brother, on Christmas Day,

and Master Clinton Cook sang a solo to his
own accompaniment. Representatives from

On Sunday next Brother Curtis and other
members of the Newman Mission will again

Without being luxurious, the whole globe
has played him serving man to set his table.
Russia gave the hemp, or India or South
Carolina the cotton for that cloth which his

Australian downs send him frozen mutton or

for his biscuit and pudding, and if he will
eat fruit, the orchards of Tasmania and the
palm woods of the West Indies proffer de-
licious gifts, while the orange groves OF
Florida and of the hesperides cheaper for
his use those golden" apples which dragons

the plating of the spoon with which he stirs

AN INDIAN SPECTACLE.
The Famous Nuggar Tank of Kurachi
and Hts CrocodiIes.

The Famous Nuggar Tank of Kurachi
and Its C~rocodiIes.
One of the innumerable curious sights of
India is the Nuggar tank of Kurachi. In
former times, the crocodiles which inhabit
it roamed the neighborhood at their will
seeking whom they might devour, but so
great were their depredations that the au-
thorities were forced to build a wall round
their haunt. This is a swamp, caused by hot
springs, the medicinal virtues of which have
been known from early times, and are at
tributed to the sanctity of a Mohammedan
whose tomb is close by, and to whom the
crocodiles are sacred.
The tank, as it is called, is about $50 yards
long by about half that distance in breadth.
In this space one observer counted over 200
reptiles, from eight to fifteen feet long, and
smaller ones innumerable. They are so
tame, in a sense, that it is necessary to poke
them with a stick before they will move.
Buffaloes are always standing in the water,
and are not attacked, but any other animal
is instantly seized. eThe whole appearance

The Sisters Take Charge of the Sum
day school.
Rev. Charles J. Kelly, the new pastor of
the Church of Onr Lady Of Grace, Hoboken,
is making his Influence felt in his new field
of labor. At all the masses yesterday the
large church was crowded to the doors. The
pastor presched at all the masses. He made
an earnest appeal for the poor. He said it
was the duty of all to help in this time of
distress. All the money put in the poor
boxes would be distributed to the poor by
the members of the st. Vincent de Paul Con-
ference. T hose having old clothing or any
thing of the kind to give way, he requested
that it be sent to the Sacred Heart Convent,
and the sisters would see that the articles
were distributed to worthy persons.
When the late Father Corrigan closed the
parochial school, some remarks were made
by him which were considered insults by the
sisters, and they refused to teach the Sunday
School. Yesterday, however, they returned
to their places, and the Sunday School was
thoroughly reorganized. The sisters will
teach hereafter, and the classes will be held
in the school, not in the church as hereto
fore.
At the half past seven o'clock mass yester-
day, the members of the st. Mary's T. A. B.
Society, and of the Young Mems Society re-
ceived holy communion in a body.

NApoLEoN's BAD TABLE MANNERS

The great Napoleon Bonaparte had dis
gushing table manners. Burienne, his secre-
tary, and Sir George Cockburn, Admiral of
the vessel that carried him to st. Helena,
confirm other authorities who described hin
as eating with his fingers. He was a small
eater, getting the nourishment his system
required from milk and wine rather than
solid foods. He rarely ever used his knife,
we are told, and instead of picking III the
morsels of food with a fork or spoon he
dipped his fingers in his plate and picked up
bits that dripped sauce or gravy on his waist

Converts Testify to Their Being
Sayed-Mrs. Gufndon's Address.
Quite a large congregation enjoyed a lee
ture by Mrs. M. M. Guindon, of New York,
last evening at the Park Reformed Church,
on the subject of aggressive Rescue Church
Work" Mrs. Matte Bickford of New York
also made an address. The meeting was held
in the interest of the Newman Rescue Home.
a large number of converts testified that
they had been dragged forth from a
life of misery and wretchedness under the
bondage of drink to one of usefulness
and happiness through the agency of the
Rescue Home, and all appealed to the audi
ence for its support. The testimony of the
converts especially touched the audience and
a good collection was taken up. Blanks
were distributed through the audience and a
goodly number filed Them out agreeing to
contribute certain amounts for the support
of the mission. During the services Mrs.
Guindar sang a solo and accompanied her
self on a either.
During her address she declared that Christ
speaks to His disciples today the same as He
did of old. He taught them a lesson of
sacrifice n told them that unless they have
the cross they could not follow Him. 1--WE
can't have Jesus" she declared, unless We
are willing to take up the cross and lead a
life of sacrifice and cross bearings" She
related q number OF instances when
through st. Bartholomew Mission in
New York men and women of the lowest
condition of filth and sin had been saved,
and it was the present testimony of some
that the age of miracles is not past. The
speaker drew a lesson from a bent and rusty
nail which she had picked up the day before
under the new elevated railroad trestle at
Elizabeth. It was bent and was therefore of
no use. 1t had been exposed to the weather
and had become rusty on the outside. But
had it been broken the interior would have
been found clean and bright. No one, she
said, was SO utterly depraved but that some
where inside the heart there was a bright
spot, and that heart was worth straighten-
ing out and saving,

testing the validity of the rival Sena-

Court was an ordained failure. We
fail to see why this should be SO, and
we are sincerely grieved if it is SO.
We are all the more astonished at the
Republican opposition to it, because
that party comes to the front with a
new method of taking the case into
court which comes to exactly the
same thing in the long run. but is a
shade less direct and speedy in opera
