HE CHANGED. THE TEXT.

Many an interesting ancedote is
told of DR., famous divine,
who has joined the great majority
and none is more touching or char
acteristic than one which was related
of him by former member of his
church 1t was a great trial to the
good doctor that such a large pre-
ponderance of his congregation con-
consisted of fashionable people.
Utterly unworldly himself he
had an immense contempt for
the superficial life led by SO many
Of his parishioners, who nevertheless
crowded his church, rather enjoying
the emotions excited by his fierce
denunciations and the frankly, al
most brutallY, expressed home
truths with which they were regaled
from time to time. 1t was the first
Sunday in Lent, and as Dr.
ascended his pulpit and looked over
his congregation with searching,
piercing eyes, before beginning his
sermon, there was slight stir of
anticipation in his audience. We
shall have regular TRADE this morn
ing, whispered my husband, and Mrs.
Midas, who was sitting few pews
in front of me, slightly shrugged her
velvet shoulders as she glanced at
her nearest neighbor. There was
thunder in the air, and no one felt
surprised when in ringing tones
that filled the farthest corner of the
great edihce the denunciatory text
was given out, "Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharlsees, hypocritesl'
In this pause that followed the
atmosphere seemed more charged
with mental electricity than ever,
and the domino was evidently ust
about to hurl US his fiercest invest
ives when a very strange thing
happened. Old T., the sexton
must have slumbered at his post,
for into the church and up the broad
middle aisle walked timidly but
trustfully very little child, who
with her poverty stricken dress
and general appearance, presented
the strongest contrast to the richly
clad assembiage. Awake to his
duties at last, the sexton hurried
after her but the uplifted hand of the
rector motioned him back, and on
walked the little one in utter un-
consciousness, until she reached the
velvet steps OF the pulpit itself,
where she paused, and after an
instants hesitation sat comfortably
down. An indescrlbable change
came over the face OF the preacher
and pushing aside the manuscript
which lay before him he looked at
us with kindly, benignant eyes.
Suffer little children to come unto
me, he said softly, and forbid them
not, Tor theirs is the kingdom oi
heaven, and with demeanor whose
pentleness strongly contrasted with
his late indignation he preached
forgiveness and divine love and the
! charity that never faileth.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1894-06-23
If all this careful training and

If all this careful training and
development does not fit its subjects
tor citizenship of what use is it? The
attraction which draws and binds
together the sexes sometimes for
good, sometimes for evil-does not
have its seat in the head, but in the
heart, and the granting of her just
rights to woman will have no more
effect upon the natural relations
of the sexes than the right to attend
the church of her choice has had.
That is a beautiful and touching
picture which "Isobel' draws Of the
father and mother alike welcoming
into the prepared home the little
ones, and the sweet, gentle, graceful
ignorant, helpless mother watching
over the brood while the strong,
manly, courageous, capable father
goes forth to battle for daily bread.
But how often is the picture reversed
How often does the brutality, to say
nothing of misfortune and death
Of that kingly being, the father,
drive the mother forth to become
the bread winner for the helpless
brood, and often, oh how often, the
king himself condescends to become
a pensioner upon her labor!
Now and then we meet with an
intelligent American citizen who
insists that the war Of the Revolut-
ion was all wrong and that it would
have been better for this country to
have have remained subject to
Great Britain. We occasionally see
a citizen of this republic going over
to England and becoming a citizen
of that monarchy, but do these
isolated cases have any weight with
the majority? We think not. 4
strong belief in mans right and
ability for self government still pre-
walls. When this agitation of the
woman suffrage question has be-
come one of the extinct controver-
sizes, such articles as that of "IsobeP
will be shown as literary curiosities,
just as some ante bellum writings,
proving the divine right to hold
man in eternal bondage on account
OF his color, are now preserved.
Bah! the feeble bleatings of such
timid little lambs as "Isobel" make
me tired. After man has lived six
months with such a shrinking little
weakling as his "helpmeet" he
would be willing to rid himself of
such tiresome companionship and
marry Susan B. Anthony herself
instead. ALICE CoALE SIMPERs.

LIVES OF HORSES.

1t is not infrequent that horse is
found that has outlasted two or three
generations of horses and practically
worn out half dozen other horses
that seemingly were as tough as he was,
say an exchange. Nearly every farm
has an old standby that has taken his
turn at nearly all the hard knocks OF the
farm, has had the same usage as any of
the other horses and has stood full
share of the ills and mishaps conse-
quent upon farm life and is still hale
and hearty and able TO wear out lots
of the younger horses. Why one
horse will outlive, outwork and be more
seryiceable than another Is question
that is sometimes hard to answer.
There are several things which may
have a bearing upon the answer to this
question. First horse with perfect
conformation Is not liable to wear out
soon. Second, good, quiet DISPOSE
ton in a horse prevents worry and
retfulness, and thus prolongs lite and
usefuluess. Third, good digestive
organs 60 a long way toward MAN.
tanning the "bones and snews' OF an
animal and thus add 10 both utility
and longevity. Fourth, good breed
ing. There is nothing which guarantees
the Qualities IN a horse which are con-
ducive to long life and usefulness as
does coed breeding. The staying
Qualities of most horses consist of the
good blood they carry, although they
NAV inherit It from remote ancestors,
These points nay be well worth
remembering when the purchase OF a
