POSTPONED RIGHTEOUSNESS.
The Rapid Flight of Time and Its Les
sons-Opportunities of the Present.

The Rapid Flight of Time and Its Los
sons-Opportunities of the Present.
The writer has, near his study table.
a photograph of a little girl about
three years old. When it was given to
him Is years ago, on account of friend
ship for the, child's parents, he had it
framed. By one OF those accidents OF
housekeeping the picture has always
kept it's place. Changes and the catas-
trophies of house cleaning have not BAN
ished it to another place or an album.
Through all these years the sweet face
OF the little child has greeted the up
ward glance of busy man. This week
the writer met the child, now a beau
tiful girl of 10, with whose face he
had become so familiar. The meeting
impressed upon him, as no homily
could, the lesson of the rapid flight of
time. We think and talk and reason,
about it, especially at the opening and
closing of the year, but it takes some
experience like that just mentioned
really to bring 1t home to us. We
think that our children and our friends
will always remain as they are. The
changes are so gradual that they are
imperceptible, but some day it dawns
upon us that our boy has become a
man, or that our friend has reached
middle age, or is travelling down the
other side of the hill; and we ourselves
have not been growing any younger.
But the best lesson that such retlec-
tions bring is not that of sorrow that
the years have passed, but that we are
to do what good we can do, day by day,
as opportunity opens, and not to post
pone it. Most of US have a stock of
postponed good deeds sufficient to fur
nish an entire community.-Boston

SHE NEVER PLAYED AGAIN.
And She Probably Called Him Brnt
Several Times.

She leaned forward upon the concert
grand piano and sobbed bitterly. He sat
with averted face and cynical smile
upon his lips. By and by she somewhat
recovered herself, and almost forgetting
what had happened, began to play a
weird, dreamy fantasy, one that he had
always loved in the good old days
when they had never dreamed of family
jars.
Lightly her fingers sped over the
ivory keys, bringing out tones and mel
odies of which an old master might be
proud, and as the music continued and
became more dreamy and sounded
further and further away, he covered
his eyes with his hands and his frame
shook with convulsive sobs. .a
She was at his side in an instant, and
sinking upon her knees before him,
softly asked: .... ..s.
Jack, dear, has my music melted
your hearth" ....
He made no reply, but still kept his
face buried in his hands. ... A..
'Never mind, DEAR" she went on,
placing her arm around his neck, Il am
sorry 1 called you a brute just because
youwouldn't geta box for the theater to-
night, and will never play that piece
again if it breaks you up like this"
''It wasn't the music exactly, my pre-
cious," he answered, as he wiped his
eyes and prepared to light cigarette;
cit was my thoughts that broke me
up" ".
"Your thoughts, Jack? Come, tell
your little wife what they WERE"
81 was just thinking, darling, that if
I had all the money that has been
wasted upon your musical education
what jolly time I could have some
night with the boys!"-N. Y. Tribune

THE MARKINGS or MERCURY.
Astronomers Differ as to Their Exist
ence.

ence.
Herr Leo Bremen has just published
in German periodical an account Of
observations of Mercury and Uranus,
made by him within the past few
months, which, so far at least as con-
Germs the former planet, are especially
interesting in view of the observations
of it recently made by Mr.. Percival Low
ell, at Flagstaff, Ariz.
Herr Brenner arrives at q conclusion
respecting the rotation period of Mer-
curry wholly at variance with that
reached by Mr.. Lowell, and before him
by Schiaparelli. His observations are
illustrated by 20 drawings, and from
them he deduces a rotation period Of
from 30 to IS hours. Herr Bremen says
with regard to the longer period sug-
gested by Schiaparelli and supported
by Mr.. Lowell's observations, that he is
perfectly certain that rotation of
about three months-the planets or
bital periods out of the question" the
drawings indicating on single days
forward movement of the spots. He
remarks further that there are ''unmis-
taxable polar spots"
The markings seen by Bremen ap.
pears not to agree entirely with those
depicted by Schiaparelli, although
there would seem to be some general
resemblance between the two sets of
drawings. He finds that Vogel's draw
ings. prove the accuracy of his own OBJ
servations and confirm his conclusion
as to the impossibility of a slow rota-
ton. '.. H. .....
So this l1notty question of long or
short period of rotation would seem to
be still an. open one. Inasmuch as the
astronomers disagree in their con-
illusions, the unscientific general public
will be likely to draw a conclusion of its
own, pretty safe one, namely, that the
markings upon Mercury are exceeding
" difficult to make out.
Uranus, which was observed on IL
nights between April % and July 0,
last, Herr Bremen finds to present
"the dimmest spots he has ever seen on
planet" His rough determination of
the planets rotation period is about
eight hours. Prof. Barnard, some two
or three years ago, was able to see with
the Lick telescope that Uranus is belted,
like Jupiter, but he did not venture to
assign to the planet a rotation period.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Archbishop Fabre died in Montreal
on December so. He was in his seven
tieth year.
Rev. A. A. Cameron, pastor of Cali
vary Baptist church, Brooklyn, has re-
signed.
Rev. P. r. Williams, of Montgomery,
Ala, has been called to the rectorship of
Trinity Episcopal church, Washington.
The Roman Catholic bishops of the
province of Quebec having condemned
L'Electeur, a newspaper published in
the city of Quebec, the owner of the pa
per has decided to suspend the publica-
ton, but will appeal to Rome. The pa
rer's offense, it is said, was the publica-
ton of pamphlet, denying the right of
the bishops to dictate to electors in DO
litical matters.
Mr.. w. j. Rolfe, the well-known
Shakespearean scholar,in letter to the
Month concerning Mr.. Richardson's
article says: l have serious doubts
whether the explanation of Falstafrs
habit of quoting Scripture, though very
ingenious and plausible, is correct; but
L cannot take space here to give my
reasons for not accepting it. The in
depreciation of the old sinners death
bed utterances, however, seems to me
by far the best that has ever been sug-
gested, and I shall be surprised if it is
not generally approved by Shakespeare
scholars and critics.
"A correspondent of the New York
Times suggests that the ministers of
the United States ought to be "pro-
tected." He says: LET law be passed
which shall make it obligatory upon
congress, to buy the sermons of any
clergyman of good standing in the
country who may present them at the
government Office. / shall not presume
to dictate how much my sermons and
those of my Acknowledgment may be
worth, but think may, with due mod
esty, suggests that five dollars would
not be an extravagant price to pay.
These sermons purchased by the gov
eminent should be sold to the highest
bidder"

and the whites of three eggs beaten I'M

Feigninc Death.

Mice will feign death to escape a cat,
and even human beings at times adopt
this ruse to escape from various enc
mics. Almost every great hon hunter

with success. A famous elephant
hunter was caught by a rogue elephant
and tossed into the air, after which the

They're four of the slipperiest card
sharps on the line of the f., G.. & W."
A great many drovers travelled on the
railroad during the war. They carried
plenty Of money, and were generally
easy and profitable game for the pro-
fessional card players. Some of the
drovcrs, though, had the reputation of
being very handy with cards them

of Uncle Joe Reddy, Big Ike Sloat, and
others as among the quick-witted drov-
ers who were said to be able to take
care of themselves against the tricks
of the sharpers. One day l noticed
among my passengers a noted card
sharp, known Familiarity as Jersey Jer-
ry. At way station, little old man,
gray and wrinkled, but still active and
spry, got aboard the train He was
very loquacious old gentleman, and
gave me the impression that he had
been indulging overmuch in applejack,
that being belt of country famous for
that insinuating and lingering tipple.
He talked to everybody within hearing,
and finally expressed willingness to
play anyone a game of old sledge for
quarter corner. Nobody paid any
attention to the garrulous old fellow
for long time, and then Jersey Jerry
began to take an interest in him. This
surprised me, as the old man seemed
to me 20 be rather small game for that
far-reaching individual. AT any rate,
before long Jerry was busy playing him
cid sledge for IA quarter a corner, and
the old man was winning every game,
much to his apparent delight, and in
the process Of putting away and pro-
ducing his stakes he displayed wallet
the plethora of which explained the in
terest Jersey Jerry was manifesting in
him.
After awhile, in going through the
train, 1 noticed that the game had
changed to poker, and that Jerry had
evidently led his intended victim along
until they were playing a pretty stiff
game; but the old man was winning,
and he was elated beyond measure and
more garrulous than ever. l stopped
to watch the play 1t was Jerry's deal.
L knew somehow that now he had
worked up to his game, and that tho
climax was at hand. l felt sorry for
the old man, but it was not my affair.
He had paraded himself too much, any
how. AS Jerry tossed his opponents
cards to him 1 caught glance of each,
and wos&d have sworn that four Of
them were kings. The old man took
them up cautiously and held them close.

ting in the car the other day and read
the above words, and then looked at the
picture of strong arm, with finger
pointing to the words. / often get
spiritually helped by these advertise
ments, and so was with this one, and I
repeated over to myself: This is the
best!" This is the mark!" stake no
other!" am sure do not know what
was being advertised-some remedy
for some ailment of the body, undoubt-
edly-but 1 was thinking of the soul
and its needs. I was thinking of the
wonderful promise Christ made His
followers when He went away, that He
would send them another, and they
should have guide and teacher, and
then thought of how few seem to real
~ know Him, how few there are who
seem to realize that the Comforter has
come!
AS 1 thought of what this Comforter
did for that early church, the refrain
was still repeating itself: This is the
best!" This is the mark!" "Take no
other!" saw the danger,souls are fire.
quently IN, of not being true to the
vision that dawns on them Of higher
life-a more perfect fellowship, and
the words went deeper down: take
no other!" Indeed, it was clear to me
that often the soul is not true to the
light that comes. It says: eyes, see
how much more beautiful life Of such
entire devotion is, but so few know
anything about it, and it would make
me apear very singular, very pecul

Tho Successful Man.

When a man is said to have been a
successful man, the reference is com
monty to financial affairs. But some
who have acquired great fortunes are
great failures in life. The successful
man is the one who accomplishes the
end of life. The man who builds up
a strong, manly, kind and loving char
acter, who is himself positive force
for good, and who is q blessing to
those about him, is successful, even
though he is without wealth. To live
and die beloved and trusted, is better
than to have greatriches.-UnitedP Pres

Gods Message.

Whatever good there is in ourselves
or others is worth respecting. The sug-
gestion of better good than we ever
had, which comes to us out of the still
ness, as the question Can these dry
bones ive?" came to the prophet in
the valley, comes from higher source
into our minds. 1t is the wind of God
blowing over the thrashing-foor Of
the heart, to sift the chaff from the
grain. 1t is the still, small voice Of
divine guidance, calling to fuller and
more Christly life. To scorn it or to
tlifie with it is to trample under foot
what God has sent for our strength and
joy. 1t may be hardly louder than the
silence, and far less loud than the
noises of the world without and the
earthly passions within. But if we obey
and follow it, then it will grow in
clearness, volume and power, until It's
harmony browns the discords of IN
evil worlds, s. Times.
