How differently faces affect us.
Some repel US, others at once attract
us; some inspire us with confidence,
while others awaken our suspicion.
The secret of this must be found in
the character of the individual. The
soul looks at us through the face. If
peace and joy, love and truth fill the
soul, the face will show these virtues.
This is the reason we distrust one face
and trust another.
When the eye refuses to allow you
to look right through it, you may be
certain that there is something wrong
which there is an effort to conceal. If
our whole house is in order, we do
not fear to have all the rooms open to
our guests. 1t is the room where our
rubbish is stored that we are careful
to keep closed.
To improve the face whatever is
wrong in character must be righted.
If love TO God and our fellows fill the
soul, the face will be open. THE
cheek otter than the tongue to tell an
eITand."

Our school which was taught by
Miss Gertrude Lang, closed on Thurs
day, March 30th, with fair average
and great satisfaction on the part of
both scholars and teacher. The
spelling contest, the queries on his
tory and geography, answered by the
children, and other exercises were
greatly enjoyed by all and proved
with what efficiency the teacher had
performed her arduous labors.

DIR. Henry N. Field, the editor Of
The EraRgeliSi who is over eighty
years young, recently said to the
Christian EndeaYOrers of the cOun-
try: ~ have been young and now
am old. I have had experience of life
from every stage, from youth to the
nOOntide of manhood, till now | am
getting into the twilight of age. Per-
haps you would like to ask How it
seems to be growing old. Is there
not a slow decay in which body and
mind grow weaker and life grows
poorer. | know not how it is with
others. but for myself life grows richer
every day, as | go into the higher
attitudes. 1t is as when | was on the
Alps or Himalaya from which |
looked down into the valleys of
Switzerland or far away to the plains
of India. You who are just entering
upon life inhale the dewy freshness
of the morning. and feel an eXhilara-
tiOn as you start in the race But
the sweetest hour in the day is that
of sunset. And as much as you may
love life there is nothing in it quite
equal to the holy calm of the tired
pilgrim, when at last he comes into
the Land of Beulah, and is in full
view of the Delectable Mountains
Mans life is but a working day.
Whose tasks are set Alright;
A time to work a time to play,
And then a quiet night.
And then please God, quiet night,
Where palms are green and robes are
white;
long drawn breath, a balm for sorrow
And all things lovely on the morrow.
-ROSSETTI.

New York, December 7.--Assistant Dis.
trict Attorney John II. Mcintyre was
called as witness this afternoon In the
trini of Roland b. Noiinsux, for the
murder OF Mrs. katherine j. Adams.
Apparently all assistant district attorney
Osborne wanted of Mr.. Mcintyre was the
mere iden tification Of the remains Of Mrs.
Adams. After Mr.. Mcintyre had tsstile
concerning his visit to the apartments Of
Mrs. Rogers and Mrs. Adams and had
asserted that he recognized the dead body
OF the poisoned woman, the witness was
turned over to Mr.. Weeks for cross-sx-
animation. Mr.. Weeks protested vigor-
ourly sRainst being compelled to GROSS
examine Mr.. Mcintyre at this time. The
attorney for the defense said that the ap-
pearanos OF Mr.. AoIntyre today WAS
unsx pscted and that the defense was
totally unpreparsd to proceed with an sx-
animation Of the witness.
tMr. Osborne said that he would never
call Mr.. Mcintyre for any other purpose
than as an aid to establishing the body Of
the crime.

Tense could not 20 outside Of the line pur-

the lawyers on both sides Of the case In

NOT SUSPICIOUS DEATH.
New York, December lit was said
today at the offios of Coroner's Physician
Weston that there was nothing suspicious
about the death of Percy II. barrow, the
Molinsux witness who was found dead In
bed yesterday. DR.. Weston said he would
not perform an autopsy unless the district
attorney should insist upon 1t which was
not considered likely.
Mr.. Weeks of the counsel for Molinsux
said that be did not know exactly what
testimony Mr.. Darrew would have given,
but he did not seem to regard It a. very
