1t may be OF interest to know what
church in the world Is accounted the
wealthicst. This recognition is gen
orally assigned to the Orthodox
Church OF Russia. AS an evidence OF
this, it Is stated that it could easily
pay the national debt of the empire,
amounting to about 92OO, OO,Ooo, or
nearly $1,000, 100000, and yet not be
impoverished" This seems almost
incredible, but 1t must be remembered
that it has some very lucrative
sources OF revenue. One OF the most
profitable is the sale OF Candles
Presbyterian, Philadelphia.

In a recent letter to the AmOry

Texas, Hon. A. J. Smith, one OF the
members Of the Mississippi Legisla.
turc from Monroe county, gets OIL the
following On that body:
There was very pretty, demute'
looking lady on seat just In front of
me, and overcoming my bashfulness l
attempted to raise Il conversation
with her. ! stammeringly asked her
II l might place her bundles in the
rack and occupy the seat with her,
thereby divesting the trip Of some
of its loneliness by viewing the
passing scenes together. She coldly
replied that | needn't, at the same
time giving me, as the boys say, the
frosty eye | was not discouraged,
however, and kept up my efforts to
yet up a conversation, and when she
answered me at all it was in crisp
monosyllablcs. Finally. to impress
her that 1 was a gentleman Of some
standing, l remarked to her that l
was a member OF the Mississippi Leg
islature. Proceeding little farther,
l spied some long-eared mules in q
pasture and asked her II she would be
kind enough TO tell me what species OF
animals those were. Gazing at them
steadily through the car window for il
moment, she very complacently re-
piled that she did not know, but sup
posed they were members Of the Mis-
sissippl Legislature. A fat drummer
across the aisle roared with laughter,
and in my crushed position sought
the smoker and reflected whether
l should get cheap negro or Mexl.

owing to want Of the proper help or
other causes, the work OF the women
OF many families is very laborious and
their opportunities to vcntilatc their
minds aud enjoy life is very heagre'
While seeing this l could not help
thinking OF several verses that | have
seen somewhere that reads about as
follows:
"Hest,~srh and ~eafs the woman sat,
Her babt sleeping across her knee,
And the work her fingers were toilingn
seetf,ed pitiful task for such as she,
Metidhg shoes for the little feet
That pattered over the cabin floor,
While the bells Of the Sabbath day rang swee.
And her ncighbote psssed BY her open door.
The children played and the baby slept,
And the busy needle went and came,
When 10 on the threshold stone there stepped
Her pastors form and namea her name
Whist shift is this on the Sabbath day,
sshen the bells are calling and far and nesr
The people gather to sing and pray
Woman, why are yot tong here
Like one in dream she answered low:
PASTOR tns days are work days all,
| have no sabbath, dare not 90
Where the beautiful bells ring out the call
For whit wbtid see TO the meat and drink,
And tend the children and keep the lease
pray in silence and try to think
Gods love can ,.s,cn and gife me peace.
The yeats passed on, and with fast and prayer
The good prizes, passed 10 state Of rest;
While tired woman stood waiting here,
Her work worn hands to her bosom pressed.
| Oh Saint thrice blessed, mount thou on high'
lie heard the welcoming Ahgels say
| And meekly; gently she passed him by
| Who had mcnded shoes on the sabbath day
While SALVATION is by grace, yet
REV ARDS are by works, and when the
Master comes to reward His servants,
| know these good women will be re-
warded. but IL our "lordS OF creation
would devise some way to tighten the
burdens OF the "weaker SEX it may
be that for this, they too, may re-
ceiye some rewards. SO mote it be.

When the new tariff goes into
