The frequenters of the lofty gallery of any theater have a good deal to dc with the making or marring of any new play Yet tbGt is not how they acquire their title of gods ' As matter of fact, the origin of the expression is this: Years ago Dlury Lane theater had it's ceiling painted to resemble blue sky with clouds. among which white Cupids were flying in every direction. This selling extended over the gallery, whose occupants thus appeared to be very near heaven. Hence the expression arose of gallery gods. "-London Answers

The old Time stagecoach.

In 1762 there were, strange as it seems only six stageeoaches running in all England. and of course these were the only public vehicles for travellers. Even these were a novelty, and per son named John Crosset thought they were such dangerous innovation that he wrote a pamphlet against them. "These coaches, " he wrote, make gen. tlemen come to London upon every small occasion, which otherwise they would not do except upon urgent neces- sity Nay, the conyeniency of the pass age makes their wives come often up, who rather than come such long jour- neys on horseback would stay at home. Then when they come to town they must be in the wade, get fine clothes, go tc plays and treats, and by these means get such habit of idleness and love of pleasure that they are uneasy after.' Even people who come to the city on steam cars are sometimes sim ilarly affected by the visit, even unto this day Exchange.

He returned instantly, blushing up to his eyes, having forgotten the lame ness of his friend.

 ''I told him that the virtue was inyol- untary on my part, having been occupied in conversation with his lordship, which he was not, and that to forget q mans lameness involved a compliment in it which the sufferer could not dislike,

The Merchantmen and the Pearl.

The kingdom of heaven is strictly business. It is significant that Christ's kingdom is not likened to warrior, CT poet, or philosopher, or slave, but to a business man. Gods saving a man IS not turning him into righteous ma chine, but developing him into right eous. son. Jesus view of his work was ss of business. At the start he said, ' must be about my father business" @t the close, Ut is rnished. , The ba- mana peddler handles personally his goods MT Armour sits in his office surrounded by papers and clerks, while his trains and ships are at the other end of the earth. So the little man lives by sight the big man by faith, and re1i- gious faith is simply business sense car ried to perfection, reaching to eternity.
