Grinding the Faces Of the Poor.

The principal part of this sermon is
the text. And there is reason to fear
that the text is not one, but that even
in the city of Richmond the name OF
the text is legion. There is in the city
Of Richmond washerwoman, a
widow, who has herself and three chill
dren to support. She is doing the
family washing for q family of ten
persons. For this she is receiving So
per month. She furnishes fuel and
starch and everything except soap.
That is, she is paid five cents per week
pei person. When the months con-
tain five weeks she receive only four
cents for the entire washing Of each
member of the family, and a part OF
this has 10 be expended for coal and
starch. To cap the climax, only a
part Of this poor four or five cents per
week is paid her.
This text needs no exposition. So
the poor work, but for just pay for the
work which they do.
A good sermon sometimes has more
than one text. A woman, whose chill.
dren were without food, told me yester.
day that she had tried to help herself
by sewing. She took from a shop
misses waists to make. She could get
only four cents apiece for the making.
But she soon broke down, and was OBJ.
liged to give up even the sixteen cents
a day.

the ringing words, Il will have mercy
and not sacrifice. ."-Religious Herald

The Amen Corner.

There is something the matter with
mans faith that does not make him
faithful.
Preachers are pitchers, not foun-
tains. Don't expect them to pour out
always if you give them no time to fill
up occasionally.
He who hangs his lamp high to let
the light shine around him should not
forget to take it down for the daily re-
plenishing. ;.
The man who tries to drown his
troubles in whiskey usually succeeds
beyond his expectations-he browns
himself.
When you are tempted to say man
is cracked, take look at your specta-
cles.' Possibly the crack is nearer
home.
Don't imagine that you are keeping
your light under bushel. Just turn
over your bushel audlsee if you have
If you are not living up to your duty,
don't let the cat out of the bag by ask
ing people if they don't think the par
son is getting too personal in his
preaching.
When o man bets a dollar that the
dollar be gave the preacher for mis-
sions will never reach the heather. he
only bases his calculations on what. he
would do if he was the preacher.
No man who has not been wholly
corrupted by his own venom can read
the history of hate as 1t Is given In the
Bible, and longer wonder why Jesus
declared that except we forgive our
enemies, God will not forgive us;
You will not make much headway
through life if you 60 with hop, skip
and q Jump, and you will not make
much headway in your Bible If you
try to 20 through it in the same way.
The daily papers are having a hard
time trying to understand why decent
people should object to the publica-
ton of scandal. Why not publish
everything it is asked, and let those
who want to read it, ard those who
don't want to read 1t skip it? Why
not indeed. Why not keep every
den of infamy in the land open
and let those who want to 60, go /;
and those who don't want to go,
stay away: Why not allow the devil
10 do his level worst before our doors
and let those who want to see, see and
those who don't want to see look the
other way? Why not let everybody
who wants to cut up, cut up; and those
who don't want to cut up shut up?
What's the use in law anyhow? Why
not let everybody do as he pleases?-

BENEFITS OF GARGLING.--- If people
would wash out their mouths twice or
three times a day with an antiseptic
solution there would not be near so
much sickness. In the last ten years,
says st. Louis doctor, I have never
had cold, sore throat, or fever, and |
ascribe this immunity solely to the fact
that I follow this plan rigidly. There
are any number Of proprietary antis-
eptics that are excellent for this pur.
pose, but many more simple agents
that are as good or better. One OF the
best of the latter is carbolic acid. A
very weak solution of this gargled and
held in the mouth two or three times a
day will work wonders. Immediately
after using one will find that the
mouth feels cleaner. believe that q
great majority of the common throat
and lung troubles come from the lodg-
ment of disease microbes within the
mucous membranes of the mouth.
The free use Of antiseptics will kill
these germs.

Bible IN.

Brethren, if man he Overtaken in
fault, We which are spiritual restore
such to an one in the spirit of meek
ness.
Ifye love them which love you, what
reward have ye? do not the publicans
the same?
If We forgive men their tresspasses,
your heavenly Father will also forgive
you.
If ye forgive not men their tresspass-
es, neither will your Father forgive
your trespasses.
If We abide in me, and my words
abide in you, we shall ask what We will
and it shall be done unto you.
If any man will come after me, let
him deny himself and take up his
cross and follow me.
If thou wilt be perfect 60 and sell
that thou hast and give it unto to the
poor, and thou shall have treasure in
heaven.
If ye love me keep my command
ments.
If ye keep my commandments We
shall abide in my love.
If man abide not in me, he is cast
forth as branch.
If any man have not the Spirit of
Christ he is none of His.
If We live after the flesh We shall die.
If Christ be in you, the body is dead
because of sin; but the Spirit is life be-
cause of Righteousness.
If we say that we have fellowship
with Him and walk in darkness we lie,
and do not the truth.
If we walk in the light, as He is in
the light, we have fellowship one with
another. :
If we say that we have no sin, we
deceive ourselves and the truth is not
in US.
If we say we have not sinned, we
make Him a liar and His word is not
in us.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful
and just to forgive our sins and to
cleanse US from all unrighteousness.
If ye know that He is righteous, ye
know that everyone who doeth right
eousness is born Of Him.
If thou seek Him, He will be found
of thee.
If thou forsake Him, He will cast
thee off forever.-Rev. J. S. Crandell,

The following advice from Mr.. Wes.
ley is worth more than many whole
books in homiletics. He says
Ought not minister of Christ TO do
three things? First, to preach His
Law, in order to convince of sin?
Then to offer free pardon, through
faith in His blood, to all convinced
sinners? And, in the third place, to
preach His Law again as a rule for
those that believe? I think if any
one does otherwise, he is no true minis
ter of Christ. He divides what God
has joined, and cannot be said to
preach the whole Gospel"

Hiding Gods Word From Its Enc.
During the terrible prosecutions of
the Waldensian Christians in the
southeast of France during the first
half of the last century, when they
could only meet for religious services
with the greatest secrecy in some Sc
cluded spot among the mountains. and
that at risk of being surprised by
prosecutors, there came a time when
SO few Bibles were left to them that
there were not enough to supply one
to each group of families accustomed
to worship together.
To remedy this, and to guard against
the entire loss Of the word of God,
should all the remaining copies be
seized, societies were formed among
the young people for the purpose of
learning it by heart. each member
committing to memory a certain ,por-
ton. This was done with the greatest
precision, and whenever a congrega-
lion gathered for worship the members
of the society stood beside the pastor
and recited to the listening people
whatever portion of Scripture he might
call for. Surely they could say ::
"Thy word have 1 hid in my heart"

says: IA gentleman from this coun-
ty, who has tried successfully a re.
medy for blind staggers amongst stock,
says that kerosene oil poured in the
ears of the animals will surely cure.
He has tried it several times and it
cured in every case. The second ap-
plication will cure if the first does NOT,
and it is not dangerous at all. He
states that the kerosene will open the
ducts connecting the brain with the
nostril and that relief comes in a few

Old Regulations Not Sufficient to Com

The attorney for the District today sub
mitted an opinion to the Commissioners
relative to the ownership of the crossings
on the Metropolitan branch of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company at R. S.
T and 4th streets northeast, in lexington.
He says:
"The question is whether the police regu-
lation requiring steam railways at grade
crossings, on streets or avenues. to main
tain gates or guards can be enforced
against the Baltimore and Ohio Company
in lexington. The streets crossing the
tracks of this railroad in the suburban di-
vision known as lexington do not appear
to be legal highways so far as they are
laid out across the railroad company's right
of way, if they are laid out. The right
of the railway company is that of fee
simple owner of the land within its right
of way. so far as such right of way does
not cross a public highway, in which case
1t merely has an easement over such high
way, under such conditions as the public
authorities may impose to secure public
safety.
1t results that if the crossing of the
Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company at r, 5, 7 and 4th
streets northeast. in lexington, have not
been dedicated, by the railroad, to public
uses, or have not been acquired by the rub
lie by condemnation proceedings, that they
are not grade crossings within the meaning
Of the police regulations, and hence failure
on the part of the railroad company, after
notice, to erect gate or guards at these
crossings could not be punished in the Po-
lice Court. The condemnation of the right
of way by the railroad company anted ates
the laying out of lexington, and II follows
that the proprietor of that subdivision had
no legal right to lay out streets across the
company's right of way without its consent
II such thing was attempted. 1 would
suggest therefore that in the present situa-
ton of affairs with reference to grade
crossings. there being one condition of
things within the city limits. and another
without, and the doubt existing with ref
erence to the Jurisdiction of the Commits
sioners over grade crossings outside the
city. other than established legal highways
that bill be prepared and submitted to
Congress authorizing the Commissioners to
compel the erection of gates or guards
along the line of the steam railroads In the
District OF Columbia whenever in their
Judgment the public safety or convenience
may require II.

Numbers of telegraphic messages reach

of them being from Ireland. asking the
premier to reconsider his determination to
retire from office, and recording resolutions
adopted at meetings last night expressing
sympathy with the great liberal leader,
urging him to continue at the head of the
liberal party. Among the towns which

The cabinet ministers upon arrival here

that he will remain abroad until the end

'MONG HATTERAS FOLKS
The President Lands On the North Caro-
lima Cape
A Run Through PamlicO SOund-ShOot-
ing In n Country Rich in Game
and Astounding in Fish

ELIZABETH CITY. N. c., March 3.-The
President has gone still further south and
is probably at the end of his trip, and may
even now be on his homeward way. Early
yesterday morning the Violet hoisted an
chor in Croaton sound, and heading south
and east, passed into the largest of the
North Carolina inland seas, Pamlico sound
The weather was thick in the morning, but
the clouds rolled away and the steamer
was soon dipping and nodding in the
ground swell caused by stiff northerly
breeze. The vessel stood along the east
coast, passing Bodies Island light house. a
conspicuous object for many miles, with
us alternate black and white stripes, and
soon came in sight of Hatteras light
The trip down from Roanoke Island con-
sumed about eight hours and early in the
afternoon the Violet again dropped anchor
penlnd the Hveoak-clad dunes of the cape
After dinner landing was made and the
party made another attempt upon the game
which at this point presented a greater
variety than had yet been encoun tered
Tor IN addition to the water fowl which had
been met In the upper sounds, the Halter
as country boasts Of rabbits red deer, and
other land game
The President was much interested in
the country, which differs widely from the
upper coast. Just before Hatteras is reach
ed the low narrow sand spit varied by a
Few dunes almost barren of any trace Of
vegetation. spreads out to the width of a.
few miles and is luxuriantly clothed in
vegetation, with many live oaks sand cac-
tus, thickets and canebrakes
Many fresh-water ponds lie hidden in the
jungle connected by deep but narrow
streams abounding with fish,
After trying their luck at shooting the
party found their way to the east shore and
inspected the great light house. which,
though of the first order, still lights insuffi-
ciently the most dreaded cape in all Amer
lea.
Lying near the light house is a little vii
lage, and for the first time the President
found himself among Cape Hatteras folks,
and. likewise, for the first time the Hat
teraS community saw a President of their
country, for the little place is so iSolated
that no one ever visits II except am occa-
sional fisherman or an employe of the light
house service. and few people living at Hat
teras ever get further away from home
than the nearest post office on the main
land. The place is out of the way of all
traffic, and little news of the doings Of the
party Is likely to reach the outside world
as long as II remains there.
When the President returns to the White
House a handsome bearskin will adorn the
interior of the Executive Mansion as a tro-
ply of his craftsmanship.
There are good reasons for the belief that
the President and party will return to
Washington Monday evening or early Tues
day morning. Before they left here II was
understood that the cabinet would meet as
usual next Tuesday
