Ready to Pardon.

Go read the parable of the prodigal
son and learn how anxious God is to
pardon the sinner. TO every sinner
we say:
"God is now waiting to pardon you,
oh, unsaved one! His own precious
words are, Come now, and let US rea-
son together, saith the Lord though
your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as
white as snow; though they be red
like crimson, they shall be as WOOL"
lisa. ]: Is. AS you are, and where you
are, you NAV be freely and fully for
given. However black aud vile, and
you cannot be worse than lost,' and
The Son Of man is come to seek and
to save that which was lost Luke l9;
10. Don't try to improve yourself ere
you come to him. He waits to bless.
He longs to save you from the horrors
of eternal despair. He loves you. He
always did so. The proof of his love
is shown in his 'unspeakable gift
For GOO 80 loved the world, that he
gave his only begotton Son, that who
soever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life."

An advertisement calling for thirty
laborers to do railroad grading in the
city of Chicago brought 5000 starving
men to the appointed place, who de-
manded work or bread, After much
difficulty the mob was finally dispersed
hy the police. Most of them were
foreigners who could not speak Eng
lish. Some of them recently y came
from Europe, and said that they had
been told across the water by steam
ship agents that hundreds of working
ment were quitting work in Chicago
because their employers would not pay
them five dollars day and that they
could get their places and make that
much money every day. If they had
not been deceived by the agents, they
say, they would not have come.

Thomas grew red in the face, and his

The Light That IL Felt.

A tender child Of summers three,
Seek ing her little bed at night,
Paused on the dark stairs timidly.
20, mother, take my hand" said she,
"And then the dark will all be light
We older children grope our way
From dark behind TO dark before;
And only when our hands we lay,
Dear Lord, In Thine, the night is day,
And there Is darkness nevermore.
Reach downward to the sunless days,
Wherein our guides are blind as we,
And faith Is small and hope delays;
Take Thou the hands Of prayer we raise,
And let US feel The light OF Thee.

The returns in members of the legisla-
turc are the most complete of any, and
leave no doubt of the Republican victory
The only question now is one of size. Re
turns from the cities of the state are
meager Four wards i'll Manchester show
a net Republican gain of 597. Concord
will undoubtedly give its normal Repub-
lcan majority.
Senator Chandler, in an interview, OK
pressed himself as highly gratified at the
result of Mr.. Morton's canvass in New
York With regard to the outcome in
New Hampshire, the senator declared that
the Republican gain, as far as reported,
no more than justified his expectations.
'There is no reason to doubt" said he,
"that we have carried everything in this
state. The legislature is surely Republi-
can by the largest majority we have had
in many years, and there is no doubt that
the members favor my reelection by at
least 3 to |"
Senator Chandler * graphs the New
York Tribune as follows. 1.-The details of
the New Hampshire election are not inn
portnnt. The returns come in slowly,
but there are great Republican gains
oil over the state. We will have large
Republican pluralities for governor and
our two congressman, also the largest
majority in the legislature we have
had for many years, insuring the
election of one of the most radical
Republicans in the country as our next
United States senator. But all minor re-
suits, such as this, are eclipsed by the
magnificent triumph of Morton and
Strong in New York city and state. A
complete national victory in 1895 is within
Dur reach"

SYLVANIA.
Republicans Are Estimated to Have Renee
Up a Majority Of 100000.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 7.-Reports from
all parts of the state indicate that the vote
was fully as heavy as that polled in 1892.
The contest in this state, which was the
most active in recent years, was fought
almost entirely on national lines, and the
result was that voters in every county
flocked to the polls.
In this city interest conferred almost ex-
clusively in the third congressional dis
trict, formerly represented by Samuel J.
Randall. William McAleer (Dem.) is
the present congressman from the Third,
but he was defeated for denomination by
what is known as the administration fac
ton of the Democracy. In retaliation the
McAleerites, who belong to the faction
called the Pennsylvania Democracy, cut
Joseph p. McCullen, the regular Demo-
cratic nominee, and voted for Frederick
Halterman, Rep. The Republicans in
turn voted for two Pennsylvania Demo
cratic candidates for the legislature from
the third and fourth wards.
Late figures show that the Republicans
have carried the state by the largest ma
iority ever known. Official returns indi-
cate that Pennsylvania is Republican by
250,00O
