The Club Woman tells an amusing
story Of n party of women who recently
visited Pixies peak. A youth, still in
knee breeches, although he wore a col
lar of extraordinary height and stiff
ness, was their guide, but his knowl-
edge Of the points of interest appeared
to be slight.
Every few minutes he stood up and
shouted the names of certain powders
and streams. When we were nearly at
the top, he called out:
ON the right is the Lions Mouth"
"Wby is it called the Lions Mouth?"
asked a skeptical lady who had pestered
him with why's" all the way.
Jaw, 1 dunno" said the lad, tired
Of being asked for information. ~ was

April 80, 1858, Carlyle wrote thus of
one of Dickens readings, says @. I,
Copeland in The Atlantic: 81 had to go
yesterday to Dickens reading s p. M,
Hanover rooms, to the complete upset
ting Of my evening habitudes and spir-
itual composure. Dickens does do it
capitally, such as it is; acts better than
any Macready in the world; u whole
tragic, comic, heroic theater visible,
performing under one hat and keeping
us laughing-in a sorry way, some Of us
thought-the whole night. He is good
creature, too. and makes ESQ or $50 by
each of the readings"

There is not much caste or class dis
tinction in Siberia. and the few social
rules are lax. The Russian Siberians
mingle freely with the native tribes,
and their customs and habits have, in
consequence, been considerably modi-
fed. l have often seen groups of boys
playing on the street where the Kirghiz
or Buriat boys were mixed indiscrim-
inately with the Russians From their
dress or language it was impossible to
distinguish them, for both costume and
language were a strange mixture. Only
the peculiar features of the native or
the more slovenly appearance of the
Russian would betray the slightest diff
ference. 1t is an old saying that you
scratch q Russian and find a Tartar"
1t might be more appropriately said
at least, of the Russian peasant-that
you scrape the dirt off a Russian and
find a clean Tartar, for the latter are
decidedly the more cleanly.-St. Mich
Olas.

MOUNTAIN ROSE.

Gold and rough the north wind blows,
Black in the morning early.
Who should ! meet but Mountain RoA
Among tie stubble barley
All the world is under SHOWS.
Blowing it's and showing.
Who should l meet but Mountain Rose
The way that WINS going?
Not a leaf on the poplar tree,
Not a flower on the heather.
Mountain Rose looked shyly at me
Az we stepped out together.
Mountain Rose, so airy and free,
Where are roses blowingf
Roses cheek, half turned from mo,
The rose OF love was showing.
Black and cold the north wind blowa
Never a bird is singing.
There's q lit in the voice of Rose
Sweet as the skylark ringing.
Winters black on heather and broom.
Where shall I And honeyf
Roses mouth Is the honeycomb
And Roses laugh is bonny.
Black and cold the north vino blows,
Winter comes in fairly.
! keep summer with Mountain Rose
Among the stubble barley.

Wise or foolish. If tbs true.

Strong, rehellious and the schools
Only scotch it with their rules
Man may fashion II disguise
Battling to his neighbors' eyes.

The behavior of people in crowds
would make an interesting study of it
self. In an ordinary crowd the major
ity are apt to be unacquainted with any
formal etiquette, and the rest seem to
forget all they ever knew; only those
who are possessed of natural polite
ness and unfailing good nature are
saved from becoming savages under
such circumstances. OF course, It is
unpleasant for people of refined ma
ture to be brought into very close con-
tact with the ruder populace; and IT
frequently happens that the very ones
who have had most training in courtesy
midst of a crowd. The nerves Of the
common people are less easily disturb
ed. and the physical discomforts COM
mon to crowds are not greater than
they are accustomed to In ordinary
daily life. Unless you can be sure of
bearing yourself with courtesy and
good humor, you should avoid crowds
for your own sake as well as ont Of
consideration for others. If, from
choice or necessity, you flock with birds
that are not all Of your own fine feather
your aim should be to respect the rights
of others, without relinquishing your
own. You are not door mat. to al
low yourself to be trampled upon with
out remOnstrance; nor yet a cur. to
snnrl and snap at those who, perhaps.
through no fault of their own, encroach
upon you too closely. Even in the high
est circles people are apt to lose their
heads. to say nothing of their hearts
when massed in large numbers; as wit
ness the trays that are reported to take
place among the fair .gentlewomen"

GRATEFUL VOLUNTEERS.

The members Of Captain Cookies
Battery c, at Fort Candy, Wash, have
united in a very warm letter of thanks
to the ladies Of the Red Cross Society
of this city for their timely remem-
brance of the Sacramento volunteers
on Christmas
The Red Cross ladies had sent some
packages calculated to cheer the
hearts (and stomachs) Of the men who
are holding the fort at the wind-swept
mouth of the Columbia River with
never a word Of complaint, and it is
very gratifying to them to know that
the soldiers enjoyed their Christmas
and appreciate the efforts Of their Sac
ramento friends in their behalf.

Of easy or of difficult when it comes to
demanding repentance toward God
and faith toward the Lord Jesus
Christ"
There is much reason, we think"
says the New York Examiner (Bap-
tist), ito reflect upon this prevailing
positiveness Of the Gospel precepts.
The tendency just now, apparently, is
to emphasize the negative In conduct.
Many people devote inordinate thought
and attention to the things they must
not do. They are nervous because Of
their liability to forget, and are in
tensely exercised because of their omis-
sions Some pulpits make denunciation
Of specific forms of evil the staple of
their industry. The prohibitory ten
dency of the Pharisee is yet active. The
conduct Of life is SO gagged and meas
ured that, were the dehortations all
needed, practically nothing would be
left to the individual conscience. Now.
no one who thinks Alright will ignore
the duty of antagonizing the evils that
are In the world. Gambling, libertin-
Ism, the traffic in strong drink. and
many other vices, call for and should
receive uncompromising rebuke But
when denunciation becomes the domi-
nant note Of preacher or reformer, he
lowers himself to the level Of the crank
Or common scold, and such a reputa-
ton. while it continues, reduces his in
fuence to the minimum. The objec-
ton, then, Is not to the denunciation
or rebuke. at the fitting time, of sins
or ofenses. but to the neglect primar-
lily to enforce. in the spirit Of the New
Testament. those positive precepts that
quicken and educate the consciences of
men,"
For one thing says the "Congrega-
tionalist" Of Boston, 1.-THE Christian
Church-the Christians in the world as
body-might appreciate far more than
at present its tremendous power If It
would work as unit. Notwithstand-
ing the many subjects upon which diff
ferences Of opinion will long continue
10 exist, there are many in regard to
which unity Of purpose and effort is
possible, and would be invincible. The
promotion of universal peace is one of
them. After the time has come when
followers Of Christ Of every form of
faith determine that there shall be no
more war, fighting among men-except
Tor a time among the remaining
heather nations-will cease. This in
wolves such items as the condemnation
OF that braggart spirit, that clustering
temper and reckless talk, that cheap
and tawdry semblance Of patriotism
which we so often term 'jingoism' 1t
involves the calm. candid study of both
sides Of all nationality or information
ally disputed questions. It involves a
very large extension. if not the univer-
sal application, Of the principle of ar
bitration. In other words, it means
that Christian nations learn to deal
with each other when differences arise
as Christian gentlemen are expected
to deal with each other. And 1t is as
true of nations as of men that this
should be matter Of course"

namely, the class in society which
standing on the shoulders Of average
humanity, seems to many to be protect

that in England, as general rule. q
