are well known in Baltimore and Washing

meet with great success. In recent con-

business by judicious use of printers ink

to return and look into the rooms. We
went back and looked in and all we saw
was flight of stairs. Well, we went up
and entered door and saw four rooms
viz: reading room, game room, parlor
and office. All could be put in our read
ing room here. We sat down and read
a while, got up, walked around and then
went out No body spoke to us or hard
ly looked at us. When one thinks of our
rooms in Bennington, on the first floor

came to the conclusion that ours are far

Old First Church Affairs.

1t is seldom that any church enter
prise is so pleasantly conceived, and so
successfully carried out as that which
eliminated in the delightful lawn party,
held on the beautiful grounds of Mrs.
Daniel Robinson of Bennington Centre
on Friday afternoon.
The plan was the pleasant thought of
three young misses from out of town:
Julia Robinson and Louise Patterson of
Troy, and Marjorie White of Syracuse.
These young people thought the parson-
age needed piazza to make it comfort
able, and they also thought its appoint
ments incomplete without running water
from the new water system with which
the Centre is now provided. To raise
the necessary funds they inaugurated a
lawn party and began at once to put their
scheme in execution. The good people
at the Centre and the summer visitors
Joined in the enterprise with hearty
good will. Friends also from the East
village came grandly to the front with
purse in hand, Mr.. Putnam himself TAX
ing the lead and with what they have
already done, they have made our pastor
and his household to rejoice in the pros
pect of a speedy presentation of more
than ''the cup of cold water" and a
genial shade under which to sit and
drink it.
These young ladies with keen percep-
tives and kind hearts, treated their orig
inal conception as work already accom-
plished, and bought three comfortable
rockers for the piazza, which, under their
supervision, will go up like magic.
The grounds were tastefully arranged
with tables whereon ice cream and cake
were served in abundance to all who de-
sired. Tables, also, of fancy article were
loaded with the works of many busy
fingers and artistic brains, whose pro-
ducts were turned successfully into ready
cash.
Perhaps the greatest attraction of all,
for the little folks, was the fish pond,
where many fine string of fish was
caught, from a tin trumpet to a crying
baby. The only trouble with this was
that the fountain was all too soon ex-
hausted for the pleasures of the little
anglers. Miss White and her little
brother were on hand with their beauti-
full shetland pony, and many a ride
around the monument was taken at tar
if rates previously arranged. 1t was a
most refined and enjoyable occasion.
The lawn under the shade of the trees
was simply charming and presented to
the eye living picture of great beauty.
Its success was all that could be desired,
the receipts amounting to nearly S170.
The older ones caught inspiration from
the young and the work went on like the
building of New Carthage, under Queen
Dido. The energy and Kindness of heart
of these three young misses, whose
names have been mentioned, is some
thing remarkable. AS long as the cause
of Christ can count such people among
its supporters it's interests will not lam
guish for want of push. 1t is pleasant
to know that Christ's people by their
thoughtfulness and sympathy are ac-
complishing so much while away from
their homes seeking rest. They thus en-
dear themselves by such kindnesses to
the people with whom they sojourn but
for season.

The world likes to laugh. Every in
stitution, therefore, which would inter-
est young or old seeks, largely, to
influence pleasureable emotions. To
stoop low to do this, with the de-
graded desire merely to cause the laugh,
and not benefit, is poor motive. Clown
ish acts, awkward movements, ugly and
fool-like faces, scarcely appeal to a cul-
tured sense of pleasing humor. There
is nothing aesthetic in the boots of a
gang, or the barbaric laughter of a de-
luded crowd of roughs. To claim that
there is real sport when there is loudest
laughter is false. The person who is
seeking to laugh all the time has mini
mum amount of brain. "Laugh till
your sides ache'' is an advertisement
which indicates, to one devoted to i'm
provement, thing to be avoided. No
cold water is thrown upon good, radi-
ant laugh. It's medicine. Sorrows grin
enough in this world. A smiling lovely
countenance is a benediction. Laugh
and grow fat is trite. It's true, too.
The popular man in society is one gen.
orally who carries the heaviest load of
fun. 1t is no wonder that this is true.
Puck and Judge are popular because
they are funny. There is good deal of
brain work in Puck and Judge, too. 1t
wouldn't be wise to use them as a text
book though. There isn't much ethical
teaching in them either. A dose of
Puck's fun is good occasionally, but too
large ones are colioky.
The Y. NJ. G. A. is no hot house for
cultivating long-faced human plants.
The jolly group of men at the doors, in
diligence in Puck and Judge literature,
the attitude toward sports of all kinds
make it impossible for any friend or foe
to say, 'only those who weep 60 there"

Y. M. c. A. Convention at Saratoga.

Saratoga never look more beautiful, or
was ever filled with better company,
than at the present. There is of course
the usual proportion of sporting visitors,
but as ever, if one is looking for them,
preponderance of good moral people
can be found!l The hotels are generally
quite full. The very warm weather was
very sensibly and agreeably relieved by
a severe thunder storm Sunday after
noon, towards night.
The seventh anniversary of the 7. M.
c. A of Saratoga was held Sunday even
ing, the 10Th inst, in Convention Hall,
the great auditorium built by the city to
accommodate the large meetings which
are so often held in this attractive wa
tering place. The several churches
closed their doors and congregated at
this union service, where were gathered
over three thousand to listen to the re-
port of the work of the Association the
past year, and to sermon by the Rev.
j. W. Chapman, D. D., the successful
evangelist of worldwide fame. From
his introduction by the president, it was
learned he was here in January last,
holding meetings which resulted in the
conversion of many. Professor Bilhorn
led the singing and favored the audi
ence with several solos, which were rem
dered with grand effect. The sermon of
DR.. Chapman from the text, Having
Done all to Stand" held the vast audi
ence spellbound for half an hour. 1t
was grand sight to behold seated upon
the platform, clergymen of the different
denominations, giving by their presence
and influence encouragement to the Y.
M. G. A. in their efforts for Christianity.
Their report of work done the past
year showed there had been 65, 260 visits
to their rooms, and notwithstanding the
hard times, the work had been carried
on without interruption, and with a
small balance in the treasury.
