Muscular Christians.

Muscular Christians not only arrested tendency toward effeminacy which proba- bly, would in any case have been evanes- cent, but they brought back to Christian ity entire classes, and especially a large class of English gentlemen, who, in their disgust at tendencies wholly alien to their temperaments, had begun to think wheth- CT little infusion of "manly heathenism" would not be good for the community. They maintained that piety and joyous ness were not inconsistent; that David with his overvigorous life was better man than Saul with his melancholia; that the life of the sea and the field and the mine was as good as the life of the parson- age; that there was other Christian work than preaching ill season and out of sea- son; that, in short, it was possible to lead the life of an average English gentleman or workman and be good Christian too.
 Some of them went too far in their re- coil, as appeared when the controversy over Governor Eyre divided all England, but in the main their ideas acted as brisk breeze acts upon a sultry day, clearing away the haze, restoring health to the siokly and vigor to the exhausted. Of this movement Hughes was not the soul, for F. D. Maurice, with his saintliness and his sense must be called that, but he was In a way its life blood-he so visibly lived the whole doctrine, lived it heartily and en- Joy1ngIy long after the Iorce or she Hove. ment had spent itself from the absence of resistance.

Discretion In Dress.

Everything that i5 attractive and effect. i've and can be copied at small expense is sure to be copied sooner or latcr-it is sooner, as q rulo. Tho worst feature of the flno class goods is that they are so novel and noticeable that they, being so very much on evidence when worn, soon become monotonous and bear their date, yet arc far too costly to bo quickly dis carded, It is therefore better for those who cannot afford a groat variety of toilets and costumes to sacrifice their first desire to purchase what would best suit their fine tastes if they could afford to gratify them and select less pronounced styles. The quieter gown chosen may cost quite as much as the moro novel, moro dainty ono discarded with sigh, but it can be worn 90 times and always look well where the gayer ono could not bo worn on more than half dozen occasions without being spo- cia1ly noted and bored. d.-Philadel- phia Ledger.

A Courteous Chief Justice.

A young lady spending rainy evening at tho house of an old gentleman wanted q cab to take her home. Her host started of to fetch the cab. "Do let the maid go she said. My dear, the maid is also a woman," was the grave reply.
 The man was the late George Higin- botham, chief justice of Victoria. His courtesy toward women was regardless of rank or personal attractiveness. He would take of his hat to his cook and bow as graciously as though she were duchess.
 A man was trying to lead heavy draft horse along the street. The ami nal refused to be led, and then the man made several intellectual attempts to mount the refractory creature. At that moment the chief justice oame along, and seeing the mans difficulty extended his hand-as mounting block.
 The man put his foot in the hand and mounted upon the horses back. Tho chief server the kindly deed recalled tho words of the Master, "Whosoever will bo chief among you let him Do your servant"
 His courtesy made his manners good, but 1t did not soften his sense of justice. A lawyer tells this anecdote:
 II had once to appear before him in cham bers on behalf of a charming client who had some property, but would not pay her debts. The case was heard in his own room, and he was courtesy itself. He stood when she entered. I think she dropped her handkerchief, and he left his seat to pick it up. Nothing could be gen. tier than his manner, and I was congratu lating myself on an easy victory, but wher the facts were heard the decision came that my client must pay or spend si1 months in prison. .''-Youth's Companion

National FloWara.

Until flower has played an impor- tant part in some great historical event, as did the thistle of Scotland and the shamrock of Ireland, or until 1t has been surrounded by overwhelming sen timent through close and continued as- sOciatiOn with some distinguished and widely beloved man or woman, as was the case with the cornflower of Ger many and the violet of France, it is idle to propose any flower as national en- blem. If, for instance, Lincoln or Gar field had been passiOnately fond of a particular flower, carried it about con- tinuously, had it when the assassin s bullet was fired and kept it in the hand or by the bedside when the end came, then that flower, whether it was indig- enous to this country or imported from the old world, might, without legis. lative enactment, without any urging on the part of individuals or associa- tiOns, have become the national flower. Under such circumstances it is not hard to believe that even the blossom of 8 plant, before generally esteemed a nox- iOus weed, might be taken up and given the place Ot honor without word of protest from any one. These are the on- ly conditions under which the people of the United States or of any other country are likely to look upon any par ticular flower as 8 national emblem. -- Ithaca Democrat.

Conversation at Home.

Good men and mon of ability have oc- casionally said things which throw flood of light upon some of the difficulties of married people. Pulcy Once said to Wilber- force, Who ever talks to his wifo?" Tho philanthrOpist at tho timo was much shocked at flippancy such as this on tho part of tho author of "The Evidences of Christianity" but after week spent in the gay world of London, dining with Mime. de Stacl and sharpening his wits by contact with gifted and intellectual people, he records in his diary tho resolution to deny himself such stimulus in tho future lost it might provo hurtful to lis contont- ment in domestic lifo. Now WO believe that if tho great antiSlavery apostle had eXerted himself to entertain Mrs. WibGr- fOrco, if husbands generally Wcro to talk a littlo moro upon subjects of w;do interest at home and were to force conversation on other lines than thoso of physical ailments and material wants, thero would bo no such painful contrast or danger from OK CursiOns similar to those which tho good man made into the world of vivid thought and interest. Indeed we half suspect in the case of MT. WilborfOrCP as certainly in other instances that in his cagurnGss to please in London society he exhausted his vitality to the pOino that he WIS compIoto- ly talked out and in consequence was dull at hone.-Happy Thought.

Nowhere arc the grocery stores thick CT than ill Brooklyn. On many of the main arteries of traffic one will find cor ner after corner occupied by Q grocery store, with often one or two grocers in the middle of the same block. And they all seem to thrive, New York city boasts more luxurious class of people than the average Brooklyn grocer SUD- plies, but the standard of living on the average is higher in the City of Church es than elsewhere, and the grocers sell better average quality of goods there. Originality is not a common virtue in Brooklyn grocerdom, however, nor is it frequently met with anywhere else, for that matter, but in the City of Church cs Ca more appropriate name would be the City of Grocers) one is led to look for greater variety of store decoration and display of goods and in methods of doing business from the simple fact that most of the establishments are so neat and clean and tho goods so attract i've and well displayed.
