The Religious Awakening.

The great religious awakening going
on throughout the country is one of the
noteworthy events of the times. 1t is
estimated that $4,000 persons in the
West recently have Joined tine various
churches. This number added to the
men and women of the country who
are endeavoring to uplift themselves
and society to greater happiness and
well being, is mighty addition to the
moral sentiment of the country. The
movement still continues to sweep over
five States, and no good citizen, whether
church member or not, can do other.
wise than wish we'll to such an agency.
History, however, is only repeating
itself in this matter. Periods of dis
aster and suffering, the world over
have been followed by great religious
revivals. 1t was this that set in mo-
tlon the Crusades of Middle Ages. At
ter the Franco Prussian war, revivals
spread throughout Germany. Today,
in Russia, after her period of famine,
the same thing is taking place. If the
hard tines in our own country, not
wlthstanding the pinch of suffering
that comes along with it, shall make a
better man or woman, it will bring a
compensatory benefit. Any movement
that makes one more reverent of the
Great All Father above us, aud kinder
hearted to our fellow men is blessing,
though it may come in disguise.
The immense Moody and Sankey
meetings, noticed by our Washington
correspondent, seems to reach and eff
feet most directly church members.
The greatest interest seems to exist
among them. They are ON the anxious
seat" This would fall in with the re-
mark of Parson Bronlow who said,
THE first and hardest men in the world
really to reach and convert are preach
ers and church members. In these
Washington meetings an immense
choir of sixteen hundred voices play
an important part. These voices wake
the slumbering emotions of the heart
and no man can withstand their force
as they float out in melodious song to
push him into better life. The dis
mai tramp of suffering on these same
Washington streets give emphasis to
the songs.

A Business Girl.

Very well, Viola-come along.
Now, then, what is it,
Father, you are aware that Henry

Yes, and I've felt like kicking him.

LITERARY NOTES.

with the second of Octave Thanet's
sketches of American Types, suggested
oy her observations among the State
buildings during the Worlds Fair. In
this article she describes "The Farmer
In the South, whom she knows very
well at home, as it is her custom to
spend every winter on plantation in
Arkansas. The illustrations by A. b.
Frost are in his very best manner. A
very different type of character is de-
scribed by II. G. Bunner in his "Bowery
and Bohemia. His great familiarity
with the phases of New York life en-
aoles Mr.. Bunner to describe a type,
1.-THE real Bohemian, who is very little
known and imperfectly understood by
the general public. 1t is fully illus
trated with sketches by Clinedinst.
Edward Bellamy tells singularly
interesting story in his &C ,ount of Show
l Wrote Looking Backward" in the
April Ladies' Home Journal, and adds
to the interest by describing how the
idea of Nationalism first occurred to
him. Not less personally interesting is

The Father and His Boy

Don't be hypocrite before your boy,
writes Robert j. Burdette in the first
paper series Before He is Twenty" in
the April Ladies' Home Journal.
When he believes you to be infallible
don t encourage the belief. Take him
into your life as you desire to be tax en-
into his. Don t tell him that when you
were boy you never gave your parents
moment 5 uneasiness, were never cross
to your little sister, never disobeyed
your teacher, never cruel to dumb ami
mails, and always kept the Golden Rule.
Be honest with him above all things.
Don't be too dignified with him. The
more ne loves you, the more he lives
in your arms, the more he plays with
you and the less he fears you, the more
profundly will he respect you. Pity
the man, who, in order to secure and
retain proper respect from his children,
has to wear at all times an uncomfort-
able veneer of artificial dignity.

The Old Soldier.

For the Herald and Tribune
The Old Soldier.
II there is anybody we hold in hearty
respect, tits the old soldier. This great
country is what it is, because the Union
soldier o 1861 65 saved it. Put every.
thing else together, and look for the
underlying foundation of the Nation 8
greatness and happiness, and the old
soldier will be found at the bottom.
We never meet an empty sleeve or hear
the tramp of wooden leg, knowing
that either belongs to an old soldier,
without mentally doing him reverence.
1t is 80 with increasing force all over
the country. The newspapers tell us,
day after day, the name of some soldier
who has dropped out of life's line, but
the great body Of men who saved us,
grow more and more influential as time
passes.
The Democratic attack upon the vet
eran is failure. The monstrous in.
justice of passing sentence upon a man
before trying him, holding him TO be
guilty before trial, has met with a
stern rebuke. A pension is vested
right that no Commissioners of Pen.
slons can set aside, beause he happens
to take up the idea-''possibly, some
man may have been improperly pen
sioned!" This conception was an un-
just, as it is unpatriotic. To suspend
a pension before trial is an outrage, and
the courts have said SO. More than
this, it has brought out the fact, that
there is less fraud in the Pension Office
than occurs in the court room. No
body, who paid close attention to the
matter, ever believed that the Pension
Roll was one of dishonor-for no man
is more interested than the real soldier
in keeping it honorable.
Let it ever be remem bered, that the
idea that pension could be suspended
ON mere suspicion, and the pensioner
deprived of his right until it could be
proved that he was dishonest, arose in
The breast of the Democratic party who
made the pension list necessary. That
the roll has fever rascals ON it than are
to be found in the ordinary administra-
ton of justice, is the present outcome.
That it may have on it, and will ever
have, few frauds is not to be won
dered at, when Christ had one among
his twelve disciples. The Pension Of
flee is being compelled by the courts
to undo an unjust act that should
never have occurred An Appomatox
for the party is waiting not very far
ahead.
