In the gallery at Verdun Royal there is
a charming picture called "The Little
Lovers" The figures in it are those of
dark-ha1red, handsome boy of three,
whose hand is filed with cherries, and q
lovely little girl, with hair like sunshine
and face like q rosebud, who is accept

for the dark-haired boy IL the son and

DR.. TALMAcE'S SERMON.
An Impressive Discourse Entitled, "Meas.
ured by Your Own Yard Stick"

ured by Your Own Yard Stick"
TEXT: "With what measure you mete, it
shall be measured to you again. Matt
vii, 2.
In the greatest sermon ever preached
a sermon about fifteen minutes long, ac-
cording to the ordinary rate of speech-a
sermon on the Mount of Olives, the
preacher, sitting while He spoke, accord
ing to the ancient mode of oratory, the
people were given to understand that the
same yard stick that they employed upon
others would be employed upon them
selves. Measure others by a harsh rule
and you will be measured by a harsh rule.
Measure others by a charitable rule and
you will be measured by a charitable rule.
Give no mercy to others, and no mercy
will be given to you. with that measure
We mete ii shall be measured to you again"
There is a great deal of funfairness'in crit
icism in human conduct. 1t was to smite
that unfairness that Christ uttered the
words Of the text, and my sermon will be a
re-echo Of the divine sentiment. In estima-
ting the misbehayior of others, we must
take into consideration the pressure OF Cir
cumstances. 1t is never right to do wrong,
but there are degrees Of culpability. When
men misbehave or commit some atrocious
wickedness we are dispose indiscriminately
to tumble them all over the bank OF con-
demnation. Suffer they ought and suffer
they must, but in difference of degree.
In Great Britain and in the United States,
in every generation, there are tens of thou

generation. Then l suppose there are tens
of thousands OF persons who, not positive

criminal tendency. Any one OF all those
thousands, by the grace OF God may become
Christian, and resist the ancestral influ-
ence, and open a new chapter of behavior;
but the vast majority of them will not, and
it becomes all men, professional, unpro-
fessiopal ministers of religion, judges OF

For many years. indeed. since the
close Of the war, 1t has been a stand

ate army was composed almost wholly
Of, stan officers and that the number
of cOlonels distributed throughout the

certainly a fact. as all travellers attest,
that there are more colonies. majors
and generals in the Southern than in
the Northern States, and this Is a fact,
despite what il q matter of general
knowledge. too. that the Southern army
was materially smaller throughout the
war than the Northern forces.
An explanation Of the apparent an
omaly has lately appeared in a state
ment which shows in detail that the
number Of Southern officers was rela.
lively larger than the number Of
Northern officers during the civil war.
The official Confederate army list
shows one general-in-chief. Robert
4. Lee, and seven full generals, as
follows: Cooper, Albert Sidney John
ston, Beauregard, Joseph E. Johnston,
Of lieutenant generals in the Confed-
crate army, Stonewall Jackson, Hill,
Early, Buckner, Wade Hampton and
Gordon among them, was nineteen,
and there were besides 81 major gem
erals and more than 200 brigadiergen-
erals. This was very much larger than
the army roll in respect of staff officers
on the Union side at a correspondent;
period. Before the esta adjustment of the
office of lieutenant general there were
major generals and IL brigadier gen.
erals In the regular army and 20 major
generals and $50 brigadier generals In
the volunteer service. There were cor.
respondingly, larger number Of COL
onels and ma jOrs in the Southern than
In the Northern army, and the reason
for this was to be found In the fact
were generally smaller and more wide
ly separated. The Northern forces con-
stituted the attacking army; the South
ern forces, after the battle of Gettys-
burg, were on the defensive and much
OF the conflict which continued during
the closing years of the strife was, SO
far as the Southern men were engaged
In 1t, Of desultOry, guerrilla character.
The services of sharpshooters, or small
attacking columns. of commands or.
ganized for foraging purposes, or to
cover q retreat, were in detail, and the
commander Of each detail took, by cour.
tesy and under military usage, a title
as high in its way as a Northern conf
mander would receive IL in charge of a
force perhaps eight or ten times larger.
1t is well-knOwn fact that military
men having titles are as slow to surren-
der them and to forego their use as
officeholders are to retire from the hon
ors and emoluments Of public station.
The rule "once a colonel always a col.
onel," still prevails in the South, and 1t
applies In like manner to generals, ma
jors and captains as we'll. A man who
may have acted for a few hours, per-
haps at the head Of detachment as Its
colonel. though actually a corporal, has
since the close of the war continued to
be known as colonel.

Those who have owned a favorits

fecsion which grows between the faith

sacrifices made by the intelligent AMI
male to save the master suffering or
peril are well authenticated, but 1t re-

leap into the big Muddy" to rescue Its
master from drowning. The rescue was
accomplished not without difficulty and
danger to the horse, for the current Is
very swift and extremely treacherous

which he calls Ned. The two have been
together from the time several years
ago when Ned was a frIsky colt, care

across the commons to the west of the
town. Even before the colt was old

almost bedmstes.
The other day Billy decided to go UP
the river a ways and do some fishing.
He took along the usual accoutrements
and mounting Ned set his face to the
north. There is q fine place for the
catching Of channel cat up that way
and Billy on arriving turned Ned loose
to crop the grass while he pushed out
a small boat into the stream and an
chOred 1t with a big stone. All went well
for a time. Bnly was landing a fair
number Of hsh and Ned was enjoying
unwonted liberty. But the boat tripped
its anchor unknown to the boy and be-
gan to travel slowly down stream.
Finally the boatman shared a biA
fish. He tugged nightly and succeed
ed in bringing his quarry to the up
stream side Of a snag. Here there was
q fight and the boat was overturned
and the boy tossed into the wild cur
rent. He was in imminent peril. as he
could not swim well. But Ned could.
he knew, and even as he was clutching
at any protruding branch Of the snags
with which the river is lined he yelled
loudly for Ned.
Ned heard the call and galIoped to the
bank. He seemed to realize the dan
ger Of his master and ran down the
steep bank and plunged into the water
He swan rapidly out TO the drowning
boy and seized him by the collar OF his
coat. Then he headed for the shore,
holding his head and his masters well
out Of the water. He struggled in the
swift current bravely, while they drift
ed down stream. They passed a point
in the river and the faithful pony was
dragged under the water in the eddies
But he held ON tightly and at last, al.
most exhausted. drew his young mas
ter to shallow water. Then he walked
a short way and lay down in a foot Of
water to rest.
Ned is priced by Billy beyond all

Whence come these toweringly tall

marvel what makes the nursery maids

parks a baby carriage, a nursery maid

the women Of their class 1t Ia curiously

zoned in their snowy uniforms, are Of
ten quite irresistible. Once, when In

Scores of New York policemen, how
ever illiterate and common, are never

artist would be glad enough to have
them pose as models, if their American
dignity were not haught!ly above such
