 Bad Home Influences.
 Again, our subject exhibits what re- ligion may be under bad domestic influ- ences. Hadassah was snatched from the godly home into which she had been adopted and introduced into the abom- inable associations of which wicked Ahasuerus was the center. What a whirl of blasphemy and drunkenness and hcentiousnessl No altar, no prayer no Sabbath, no Godi If this captive girl can be a Christian there, then it is possible to be a Christian anywhere There are many of the best people of the world who are obliged to contend with the most adverse domestic influ- ences, children who have grown up into the love of God under the frown of par ents, and under the Encouragement of bad example. Some sister of the family having professed the faith of Jesus is the subject of unbounded satire inflicted by brothers and sisters. Yea, Hadassab was not the only Christian who had a queer husbandl It is no easy matter to maintain correct Christian principles when there is companion disposed to scoff at them and to ascribe every inn perfection of character to hypocrisy. What a hard thing for one member of the family to rightly keep the Sabbath when others are disposed to make it a day of reyelry, or to inculcate propriety of speech in the minds of children when there are others to offset the instruc. tions by loose and profane utterances, or to be regularly in attendance upon church when there is more household work demanded for the Lords day than for any secular day.

There are those who did not enjoy remarkable early privileges. Perhaps, like tho beautiful captive of the text, you were an orphan. You had huge sor- rows in your little heart. You some times wept i'll the night when you knew not what was the matter. You felt sad sometimes even on the playground. Your father or mother did not stand in the door to welcome you when you came home from a long journey. You still feel the effect of early disadvan- tages, and you have sometimes offered them as a reason for your not being as thoroughly religious as you would like to be. But these excuses are not sufn-

4 mERIrED COMPLIMENT.

We have several times made the
statement that Congressman Boatnef
has not only a vide reputation N
the Southern States but is fast be-
coming man Of national fame
We. have had occasion to publish
extracts from time to time from
Northern papers, commenting on
the ability of the gentleman; but the
following from the Chicago Times,
a paper which is not too much in
love with the South, proves conclu-
si.ely that Chas. J. Boatner is q
man of no small or restricted reputa-
ton. It will be remembered that
Mr.. Boatner was appointed Chair
man of the committee 70 investigate
the charges against Judge jenkins.

A dispatch from Washington gives
out the information that Congress-
man r. c. Davcy will not be can
didate again when his term expires.
and that he has been settled upon as
the compromise candidate for the
the New Orleans postmastership.
We think Mr.. Crandell is the man
that should receive the appointment
as postmaster Of New Orleans, and
can't hardly believe that a dicker
has been made to beat him out OF it,
after almost tie entire delegation
had settled on him as the man.
Crandell should receive the appoint
ment.

For the benefit of those unfamil-
lar with the matter, and in answer
to inquiries, itmay be stated that
the Senator whom Governor Foster
may appoint to fill the vacancy
caused by the prospective resigna-
ton Of Senator White will serve
until he himself or his successor has
been elected by the Legislature.
Should the Legislature adjourn
without being able to agree upon a
successor to Senator White the
State would be without represents
ton in the Senate so far as that seat
is concerned. The governor could
not appoint again. The unexpired
term of Senator White will termin.
ate ON March 8, 1897, and the
senator for the new term will be
chosen by the Legislature elected IN
1895. Senator Caffrey will serve
until he is re elected or successor
elected by the Legislature. Should
there be deadlock and failure tc
elect lie could not serve nor could
The governor appoint any one else
to serve in bis place subsequent e
the session of tile Legislature. Ths
approaching session Of the Legisla
ture will elect three senators-ont
to fill the unexpired term of Senator
White, one to fill the unexpiret
term Of the late Senator Gibson
and one to serve a new term begin
ming March 4, 1895, when Senator
Gibson's unexpired term will terlnin
