pectations, warmth for the sympathies.
Oh! am SO glad that these great altar
fires have been kindled Come in out
of the cold Come in, and have your
wounds salyed. Come, and have your
sins pardoned. Come in by the great
gospel fireplace.
A Blessed Confagration.
Notwithstanding all the modern in
ventions for heating / tell you there is
nothing SO full of geniality and social
ity as the old fashioned country fire.
place. The neighbors were to come in
for a winter evening of sociality. In the
middle of the afternoon, in the best
room in the house, some one brought in
great backlog with great strain and
put it down on the back of the hearth.
Then the lighter wood was put on, arm
full after armful Then shovel of Goals
was taken from another room and put
under the dry pile, and the kindling be-
gan, and the cracking, and it rose I'M
til it became roaring flame, which
filled all the room with geniality and
was reflected from the family pictures
on the wall. Then the neighbors came
in two by two. They sat down, their
faces to the fire, which ever and anon
on the andirons, and there were such
times of rustic repartee and story tell
ing and mirth as the black stove and
the blind register never dreamed of.
Meanwhile the table was being spread,
and so fair was the cloth and so clean
was the cutlery, they glisten and glis-
ten in our mind today. And then the
best luxury of orchard and farmyard
was roasted and prepared for the table,
to meet the appetites sharpened by the
cold ride.
Oh, my friends, the church of Jesus
Christ is the worlds fireplace, and the
woods are from the cedars of Lebanon.
and the fires are fires of love, and with
the silver tongs of the altar we stir the
flame, and the light is reflected from all
the family pictures OH the wall-pic-
lures of those who were here and are
gone now. Oh, come up close to the
fireplace Have your worn faces trans
figured in the light. Put your cold feet,
weary of the journey, close up to the
blessed confagration. Chilled through
with trouble and disappointment, come
close up until you can get warm clear
through. Exchange experience, talk over
the harvests gathered, tell all the gospel
news. Meanwhile the table is being
spread. On it, bread of life. On it,
grapes of Eshcol. On it, new wine from
the kingdom. On it, thousand Injuries
celestial. Hark as wounded hand raps
on the table, and tender voice comes
through saying: Come, for all things
are now ready Eat, o friendsl drink,
yea, drink abundantly, o beloved"
My friends, that is the way the cold
world is going to be warmed up, by the
great gospel fireplace. All nations will
come in and sit down at that banquet.
While was musing, the fire burned.

No EpeIi,s Better Than English.

A new argument against college ath-
letics has been invented--the deplorable
effect which they have on good Eng
lish'' by grating upon it "the coarse
language Of sports I" The plea, says the
New York Times, is truly amusing
What ON earth is "good English" any
how? So far as we know, there is no
English better than English, and no
writer thereof has ever hesitated to use
new words from any source, provided
they expressed an idea more clearly, or
even more picturesquely, than did those
which formed the vocabulary OF his
grandfather. Shakespeare is full Of the
language of sports, = ranging from fall
conry to pugilism, and if be lived today
it is absolutely certain that he would
CLEAN words from the football fields
and that college professors would de-
nounce him for it. Really great men are
like the common people, in that they
never make a fetch of the parts Of
speech, never imagine that dictionaries
or grammars settle anything, and never
make the mistake of confounding live
tongue with dead ones.

AMERICAN EccENTRlcITY.
Frenchmen Never Tire of Talking of Our
Queer Freaks.

Frenchmen Never Tire of Talking of Our
Queer Freaks.
The French people never tire of re-
lating anecdotes of the eccentricity and
enormous wealth of Americans.
An American went into hairdress-
er's shop in Paris recently and found a
charming but poorly dressed girl en-
gagged in negotiations with the propri-
etor. She was Offering to sell him heI
magnificent head of hair for three napo-
leons-the man would give her no more
than one. At last the poor girl gave
way with tears, and the barber was
about to employ the fatal scissors when
the American interviewed and demanded
the cause Of the sad affair.
He found that the girls parents, who
formerly had been we'll off. were in the
last extremity of poverty, and that she
had determined to make so great sac.
rifice III order to obtain them little
bread. The stranger drew out two bank
notes and offered them to the girl, say
ing:
"Will you let me buy your hair?"
Without even looking at the notes, the
girl at once said, Eyes.
The American delicately took single
hair, put it in his pocketbook-and fed.
Not till he had gone did she look al
her bank notes, and found them to be Of
the value Of 800. -Elmira Telegram.

chicago,s Wonderful Growth.

In the seventeenth century the present
site of Chicago was a swamp, which fur
traders and missionaries found fatally
miasmatic About 1900 a government
engineer, viewing that rank morass
traversed by sluggish stream, pro-
nounced it the only spot on Lake Michi-
gan where city could not be built. In
1904 Fort Dearborn was erected here to
counterfeit British influence. In 1919 the
fort was demolished by Indians, but in
1916 rebuilt, and it continued standing
till 1871. Around the little fort in 1870
were settled 1900 people. The number
was 80, 600 in 1850; 10000 in 1860,
800, 900 in 1870. In 1880 the community
embraced SOB, 185 souls; in 1890 it had
l,099, $50. In 1865 the indomitable city
illustrated Ler spirit by pulling herself
bodily out of her natal swamp, lifting
churches, blocks and houses from to 10
feet. without pause in general business.

PREVENTED A DUEL.


Advice Of Wise Little Woman ACCOM-
plishes > Doubts Purpose.
There is man iii Washington who
has wife of the best type, but. like a
good many husbands with that kind Of
wives, be doesn / always appreciate her
at her true value.
Well, this husband had been insnlted j:
outrageously insulted. as he thought.
being sensitive man of a fiery temper.
and he was burning with a spirit of re-
venge.
He had thought to resort to violent
measures in defense of his sacred honor.
but second sober thought came to him
of his respondent wife and children, and
for their sakes he had staid the ayenging
hand.
Again he had thought Of appealing to
the law. bat that seemed almost cow
ardiy to his high born spirit, and he set
it aside as quite impossible.
All day the insult ranked in his
bosom, and when the shades of evening
had come and he wendell his way home
ward on an avenue car, he was in con-
dition Of the most irramediable indigna-
tion.
He had some kind of a vague idea
that night Of sleep might heal the
wound of the insulter, but, that failing.
he knew that blood alone could make
atonement.
As he neared home. thinking every
second of what he would, could or must
do, he happened TO think of his wife.
and it dawned upon him like snnburst
that she was woman Of spirit and
Judgment, and that she might be able
to help him in his sore difficulty and
suggest a soothing balm to his hurt hon.
or.
With this new thought urging him on
he FASTENED into her presence as soon al
he hoped off The car and kissed her.
He did this. thinking possibly that by
4 this time tomorrow evening he would
be beyond the power of OSCILLATION.
Naturally, this unusual demonstration
surprised the good woman.
They had been married 8 years.
"Why, Harry, !" she exclaimed, "wha
is the matter with you? You seen
strangely excited.
1t was minute before he could cen
troll his voice sufficiently to use it fol
talking purposes.
