waY DO WE DESIRE A REY1YAL2

We take 1t for granted that every Christian
desires a revival. The quickening influences
of the Holy Spirit have solong been withheld
from the churches, that in every truly pious
heart the prayer must arise, 0 Lord, revive
the work. But whence does this prayer
arise? Do we desire revival, simply that
the numbers Of the church may be aug
mentedI This, certainly Is not in itself an
unworthy motive. Every one who loves
Christ's church, must love to to 8 her num-
bers multiplied. But numbers alone are not
enough for the church. And If we desire
revival from no higher motive than this. the
PRAYER Is one which the Lord will not answer.
Is the church diyided9 Do we, therefore,
wish for a revival, that union may again bless
the church and bring out its strength. This
Is certainly a good motive. Christ ever
prayed for the union of his followers, and
earnestly desired that fervent, mutual love
might abound in them But the union of the
church alone, Is not a motive strong and
deep enough to move that prayer which will
bring down the outpouring of the Spirit.
Do we desire it that our minister's heart
NAV be encouraged that his dropping spir-
Its may be revived by seeing souls converted
under his ministry, that many at the last day
may be known as the seals Of his ministry?
The desire, then, springs from very kind
feeling toward the minister, and Is proof OF q
deep interest in the success of his work. But
will the Holy Spirit descend in answer 20
PRAYER which comes from no deeper motiveP
Do we desire revival that sinners may be
converted and saved from the fearful punish
ment of their sins? The condition Of the i'm
penitent is sad enough to move every feeling
heart. And If that impenitent be near OF kin
to us, 1t should and must impel us oft to the
throne of grace in fervent, affectionate and
importunate prayer. Oh! who can think OF
the loss that an immortal soul sustafns which
is forever banlshed from heaven, and not
feel the depths of his inmost soul moved te
pray for him? But prayer for revival OF
religion, or for the conversion OF sinners,
which comes from mere sympathetic feel
ing of compassion for their last state, springs
not from the true motive.
But do we desire revival OF religion, that
Gods laws may be honored? That his peo-
ple may become more and more holy? linen
Is our desire well-founded, and our prayers
will be listened to. Yes! Christian, when
YOU feel as the Psalmist did, when rivers OF
water run down your eyes, because men keep
not the law of God, when you grieve for your
own want Of holiness, and the want OF holi-
ness In your minister, and In your brethren,
and In you; unconverted friends and rela-
tives, then may you hope that God will listen
to and grant your prayer. And Is not the
want of holiness, both In ministers and peo-
ple so heart-stirring as to move US to desire
q revival of religion? Is 1t not as clear as
the sun In the heavens, that pastor and fock,
for a series of years, have not manifested
that vigor Of holy life which after all is the
salvation Of the church and the hope OF tho
world?

PAIAso1s.-The parasol long since lapsed

which tempts to so much extravaganza.
This year parasols are to be seen OF every

carried with full dress or in carriage are
really artistic creations. Far less preten-
tious, though equally becoming, are the
parssols intended for the country and sea

like exquisite bouquets. Some very fine

In discussing woman's dress, I notice that
the fashion writer's give nearly all their at
tention to the more conspicuous articles, Like
gowns, capes, jackets and hats, but after all
it Is the details, the little things that make
for comfort and perfection. It Is said that a
man who has clean linen, well-blacked boots,
and respectable hat may be considered well
dressed. The woman who has daintily
gloved hand and a nicely shod foot may be
placed In the same category. As matter Of
fact there are no more important items in
lady's toilet, when dressed for the street,
than her gloves, her hosiery and her shoes.
During the summer season, except for spe-
cial occasions, kid gloves are neither becom-
ing nor comfortable. This year, In France as

RATIONAL RADICALrSM.

It Is not strange that the radicalism Of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union Is often
called in question, for the reason that the
principles back OF that radicalism are so lit
tie understood. Distinctions are being
clouded by the sophistry OF the hour. Men
and women profess to believe in temperance,
and yet put wine on their tables and drink
socially before others to their BARN, and
these moderate users Of alcoholic beverages
insist that only excess is VIZ :. A political
party may declare belief IN temperance and
morality, and yet stand for the perpetuation
OF the saloon by law. The high creed OF the
white ribbon sweeps far beyond these posi-
tons We are more than temperance peo-
ple We are total abstainers. That means
an utter banishment from our lips and homes
Of any beverage Of which alcohol Is the CEN
ter, and with large majority of our women
It means its Punishment even as a medicine.
This Is not the result Of q prejudice narrow
and unreasonable, for years OF earnest study
have cleared away the mists, and science Is
with our position. Mary T. Lathrop.

AnITnsuccessfuI Combination.

The gardeners around Cincinnati, Ohio,
formed a 'trust" and doubled the price OF
their products. The news of their action
spread to points outside the city, and the
next three days saw such shipments of fine
fresh vegetables by steamboat and rail as was
never known in tho city before. Hotels,
restaurants and other heavy buyers forsooS
their old gardeners, and the effect has been
that the 'ftrust" is broken and the local pro-
ducers have gone back to the old rates and
even lower, and the city residents are indulg'
inc In an abundance OF cheap vegetables

Builds on tie ground her lowest nest,
And she that doth most sweetly sing,
Sings In theshade when all things rest;
In lark and nightingale we see
What honor hath humility.

In deepest alteration bends,
The weight Of glory bends him down
The most when nigh his soul ascends;
Nearest the throne itself must be
The footstool Of humility.

marked peculiarityof the gowns this summer
even when worn by conservative women. A
few days since I saw gown Of beautiful
bl1e-gray crepon, trimmed with Venetian
guipure, underlaid with black satin. The
underskirt was of silk, finished around the
bottom with three narrow bias rufaes; the
overskirt was Of the Eastbourne style OF
crepon, cut in circle shape, and had seam
in the back. Any ive-gored model, like the
colbert" or the "Merlin" will do for the
underskirt. The corsage is "Linvtlle"
crepon, slightly fulled over fitted lining;
the yoke in the back Is straight across the
bottom, and no opening is visible, as 1t
fastens on the left shoulder and under the
arm. Sometimes one fabric is used, the
underskirt being faced up with the gown
stuff; in such cases care must be used to
make the facing 80 deep that the wind will

In England, silk gloves and delicate Isle
threads in becoming shades are cheap and
fashionable. Hosiery Of the same material
can be had cheap in tan, black and other COL
ors, and it is the proper footwear for tennis
and other outdoor sports. Some women can
not wear thread hosiery; for such, there Is a
fine cashmere stocking made which Is quite
as cheap and equally becoming. The latest
English stockings have double toes and
heels. Tan shoes are fashionable this sea-
