CHARITY AND SYMPATHY

There must be a sympathy, love, and
companionship in all our gifts. There are
hundreds and thousands rushing TO darkness
and doom for the want of a cheering word
and the belief that some one cares for
them, and for the want Ofthe sympathy and
love that might go even with the little
gifts that we do give. People subscribe
TO funds to aid the poor n the slums, but
they never 20 there themselves and see
where their money goes. If those who are
chartably inclined visited the poor in per-
son and added words OF sympathy, Cnnso-
lation, and love TO their other gifts, tfere
would be less misery in the slums and a
great many more souls saved.-Rev. W.
k. Pcrrctt, Presbyterian, Clinton, N Y.

There is no surer cure for anarchy and
socialism than the putting of men in the
way of acquiring little property of
their own. When man owns a house
and lot, or has even made one payment
toward its acquisition, lie ceases to be
rampant socialist at once. He no longer
clamors for equal division of this worlds
goods. W. ]. Harsha, Collegiate
Reformed, New York city.

The church of God is compared to an
ediIIce ,'it is called temple, n habtation
of God through the spirit. The fountIa.
ton or rock upon which this church i> built
is Christ. Holy men and prophets and
apostles are all stonesi in this ssupcrstructurc
but Christ alone is the foundation bearing
| aii its massive weight. Whether we con.
slider the Church OF God in its militant
state on earth or its triumphant state in
heaven, Christ is the basis of the whole
Each and all of Gods family spiritually
rests wholly upon Christ as the cfounIation.-

PROFIT AND Loss.

We are continually considering the ques-
ton OF profit and loss. There is not a
more perplexing question than deciding
our choice of vocation in starting out in
life, but a question Of greater value is the
ali important question Of our souls. Where
is there really any profit outside Of the
question Of our souls? There are things
OF the world that are valuable such as
| wealth, glory, honor, and pleasure, but
they ali pass away. Men often reach these
but what have they" They all pass away,
but the soul exists forever.-Rev. Dr. Col.
iins, Methodist, Louisville. Ky.

Frightened Ont of Church.

Some years ago, writes Lady Cook. a handsome, accomplished and we'll dressed young lady-an intimate friend of ours-casually passing the open door of rural bethel about 8 mile or two from Penzance, ventured to en- ter. Her fashionable appearance in such a spot caused general sensa- tion. The 'local preacher" halted in the midst of his rustic eloqu ence, and gazed for a few moments at the lovely
 vision. Then. thrusting Satan behind him with one hand, his heart boiling with holy wrath, he extended the other, and pointing to the delicate veil which flowed over her luxuriant tresses, shouted in stentorian tones and with an air of apostolic fevor: Take off that hell raf" If mere veil could have produced such rude outburst of dissenting zeal, what would he have said had she entered in cycling knick- erbockers? Our young friend left the chapel of this latter-day Doanerges more rapidly than she entered it, and with visible sympathy of the surprised congregation-for the Cornish arc re- markable for their gentle and unob- trusive politeness. Nevertheless, his character as a severe and fearless de- nouncer of pomps and vanities was thoroughly established.-N. Y. Press.

GARDENING ON sHIPBOARo.

Two Crops of "sas" kaised Whiie Sailing
 from Ireland to oregon. -,,
 Most people have heard of the hang ing gardens of Babylon, the modern roof.gardens and the gardens on float ing islands in which vegetables used to be grown for the citizens of ancient Mexico; but probably few have heard of a garden on board a ship, with farmyard attachment. The splendid ship Mowhan, now in port, and the largest vessel which has ever been here had such an arrangement on board during her trip to Oregon.
 On leaving Belfast for Portland she took on board as ballast 2,O0O tons of Irish soil, which, when leveled off, made quite stretch of ground, and, as the soil of Ireland is proverbially fertile, the ships company proceeded to put it to good use by planting stock of garden truck in it-cabbages, leeks, turnips, radishes, lettuce, peas, beans, etc. The seeds came up all right, and the plants fourished finely, and. when the ship was in the tropics, grew with great rapidity. As they progressed toward the Horn, and the weather grew cooler, things came to perfection rapidly. The crew and ships apprentices amused themselves by wedding and cultivating the plants, and the captain and officers took regu- lar walks in the garden daily, and all had green vegetables to their hearts content.
 As they came around the Horn, the garden was replanted, and by the time they reached the equator everything was abloom, and all hands feasted on fresh vegetables daily. The only draw backs to the garden, were the weeds, which grew so rapidly that they could hardly be kept down, and the drove of pigs, which were kept in the farmyard attachment, and which. on several oc- casions, when the ship was buckiny in- to a nor'easter and rolling heavily, broke out of the bounds and made se- rious inroads on the garden. It is a serious matter to call all hands on board ship, and is only done in emer- gencies; bat when the pigs got into the garden there was more pounding on forecastle scuttles with handspikes and blowing of boatswains' whistles than if the ship had been laid aback by a typhoon or all the masts had been carried away, and every sleeper was reused to help get the pigs out of the garden.
 The last pig was killed and served up with green vegetables just before the Mowhan entered the Colum bia. On the arrival of the Mowhan here the Irish soil was discharged on the ele- vator company's dock and piled up neatly so that an exiled patriot who desires bit of the ''ould sod" can be accommodated. The pile will doubt. less be covered with shamrocks in the spring and will furnish boutonnieres for a whole St Patrick's day process sion. Doubtless many a sack of it will be carried of to fill flower pots, etc. Although it comes from the "bla ok north," it is still the real "ould sod. ."- Portland Oregonian.

TIE establishment of postal saving, banks in this country, the Chicago Record says, would be a great stimu lous for saving to many people ot small incomes. Many are suspicious of banks, and many of those institu' tions will not take the money of small depositors anyway. There would be full confidence and trust in govern. ment savings banks. With them in ex. istence many would save and accumu. late for their old age or for some worthy object who now spend all the y make. One of the greatest incentives to waste is the lack of Q place to put money for safe keeping.

The Ousker City has the Largest Fire for
 Years-Loss About Two Million Doilars.
 PHILADELpHIA. Feb. S.-Chestnut street above Broad was visited early yesterday morning by one of the
 iercest fires this city has known for years. The big seven.story building of Charles H. Hazeltinc. 14i6 and i4ls Chestnut street, and the adjoining i've story structure of the Baptist Publica- tion society and the American Baptist Historical society, 1420, were destroyed. The buildings damaged by fire and water and falling walls were the four story dry goods house of Homer, Le- boutillier x Co. 1412 and i4l4, the dwell- ing house at 1929, owned by the Wistar estate, and the Hotel Lafayette, at Broad and Samson street The detailed losses have not yet been made up, but conservative estimate places the ag- gregate at close to S2,000,000. It is thought that this is almost fully cov- cred by insurance.
 There were about 25O guests in the Lafayette hotel, which is in the rear of the destroyed buildings. While there was considerable confusion in the hotel, the guests, barring few fainting women, kept cool heads and all were removed in safety. Only the eighth and ninth floors of the hotel were burned, although the back part of the building from cellar to roof was badly damaged by smoke and water.
 uIt was shortly before three o'clock, when Policemen Rice and Howard, while patrolling their beats at Broad and Chestnut streets, detected the smell of smoke. They straightway ran to the Lafayette hotel and went from floor to floor, looking for fire. When they reached the sixth, n fierce blaze met their sight. It was in the rear of the Hazeltine building. which reached dangerously near to the back of the hotel building. An alarm was struck immediately. but before the first engines could reach the scene a strong west wind had carried the flames through the entire building.
 At four o'clock the walls began to collapse and the flames spread on the east to Homer, Leboutillier & Co. and on the west to the Baptist Publication society. A general alarm was turned in and the fremen directed most of their energies to preventing the de- struction of the entire block, which was for time threatened. The upper portion of the Lafayette hotel was ignited by sparks flying from the burn ing buildings on Chestnut, but the blaze was confined to the eighth and ninth floors.
 The Hazeltine building was valued at s7Oo,0OO and was fully insured. It was erected in 1888 and the first two floors were fire proof" The loss on paintings on the second floor was be- tween S3OO,0O and s40O, 900, uninsured. Drs Edwards & Curry, on the third floor. lost q collection of South Ameri- can curios valued at Sl0,0OO partly in- sured. The valuable stock of pianos in the stores on the first floor was de- stroyed, but the amount of this loss has not been estimated. The Baptist Publication building and stock were valued at s40O,OOO; insurance not given. The Historical society lost lO,- 900 volumes, valued at 5000, 900 and insured for So5, 5,OOO
