BETTER Than our Rest.

Looking back may show us where we
have failed to do as well as we could,
or IL may remind us that we have done
better than we are now doing. Looking
forward may suggest TO us that we can
do better than we have done In the past,
or IL may encourage us TO see POSSIBLE
tiles of our doing in the future beyond
anything we have thought of until now.
Looking up may indicate what God
would have us do. and that may be bet
ter for us than either regret for short
comings or encouragement to better
doing. Our duty as God shows it to us,
that should be our aim, rather than an
Improvement on our past, or our high
est conceivable attainment in time to
come. Better than our best, as shown
up to this time, or as hoped for in time
to come, is well in its way; but there
can be nothing better for us than Gods
purpose in our behalf as he holds up the
standard and the Ideals. S. Times.

LONELINESS OF A HOLY LIFE.
Art I'm the Christian Life-Is Full of
Color, Purity and
Majesty.

Chiefly is the art movement leading
to new emphasis Of the beauty of the
Christian life. LONELINESS is no longer
confined TO the unspeaking statue and
the dumb picture. LONELINESS is becom-
ing life. That mother who bore her
self with sweetness and gentleness,
with patience and kindness beyond
compare, has passed on; but for her
boy her face hangs in the picture gal
lery OF memory. No picture ever paint
ed, no statue ever carved, no cathedral
ever built, is comparable to beauty of
the soul that is refined, reformed and
possessed with the spirit of Jesus
Christ. For the truly Christian life is
us full of color as the spring, as full
OF fruit as is the autumn, as full of
purity as the white cloud, as full OF
majesty as the noble mountain. One
church made up of beautiful Christians
who worship God in the beauty OF holi-
ness would transform our city and our
civilization.--Newell Dwight Hills, in
Woman's Home Companion.

bitual use. Pushing toward me a large
Eplit-bottomed rocking chair, my host
remarked:
Here, for many years, L have been
accustomed to receive my friends, of
whom had many, but am sorry to
say that now the number is sadly di-
minished.'
"'Why SOP asked.
Because of differences of opinion, :
he replied. Il need not remind you of
the condition the whole country is in,
or tell you how completely men vary
in their ideas Of duty. Nowhere is that
variance greater than here in Balti-
more, and nowhere is there greater dan
ger of its leading to calamity that
may astonish the world
"'You surprise mel exclaimed. Il
knew there was considerable secession
sentiment here, and that months ago ID
exhibited itself openly, feading to blood
shed on the streets, but thought all
that had passed away
By no MEANS he replied. The
southern sentiment in Baltimore is as
intense and bitter to-day as it ever was.
The apparent quiet is only on the sur
face. You are in the service of the
union, and it may be as well for you
to be informed exactly what the situa-
ton here is, for honestly assure you
1T is critical After brief pause he
continued:
am New England man by birth,
but for more than 40 years have lived
and done business here. This shop is
but small portion of that business. AS
q tobacco merchant / am pretty gen.
orally known in the trade. When the
southern states seeded and the SYM
PATTY of Baltimore was so openly
avowed in their favor made up my
mind as a union man that my career
as a merchant was over, and shipped
to the northern cities about 100000
worth of goods. The interests / have
left here are not very important, but
this Is my home, and am determined
TO remain here, doing with my union
friends-and there is goodly lot of
'us-what we can to keep Baltimore
from becoming part OF the southern
confederacy.
Three-fourths Of the people of Bal
itimore are intensely southern in their
feelings and prejudices. All the slave
holders are SO, and they are the lead.
ing citizens. Following them is the
class which always toadies to what il
considered the aristocracy; and after
these comes large disorderly element,
known as the plug uglies, who are will
ing and ready to do anything that looks
ike resistance TO constituted authority.
Now, know beyond doubt that the
leading secessionists here are thorough.
u organized and are determined, the
first favorable opportunity that offers,
to declare openly for the new confedr
eracy and carry Baltimore, certainly,
and Maryland, if possible, out OF the
union
How is all this to be done p in.

are available. Regular communication
Is had with the confederate leaders In
Virginia, and they are waiting only for
definite, tangible opportunity to
strike. Such an opportunity would
come if the confederate army made an
advance toward Washington--a thing
they expect-or should the union army
meet with another serious reverse in
the east. If Beauregard had pursued
Mcdowell after the battle of Bull Run,
they would have risen then; and many
were the curses heaped upon him for
his failure, as they expressed it, ITO
follow up his victory" They are con-
fident their chance will come, and il il
does you can rest assured the attempt
will be made to make Baltimore, to use
their own language, "the barrier be-
tween the north and the national CAPT.
taI."'
What asked, do you union men
propose to do if the movement you an
ticipate is made?'
Burn the city he replied. Just
as certainly as the Russians burned
Moscow, will we burn Baltimore If the
confederates here to take il out of tho
union
How can you, so few, comparative
1y, in numbers, do thisg
We'll, sir, we, too, are organized,
and for this one purpose. In every part
of the city preparations have been
made, and when the time comes a hun
dred or more fires will be started at
once. Do you know what this is?' he
asked, taking from closet a ball of
tow, cotton or oakum, about the size
of large cocoanut. 1T is n fireball,
thoroughly saturated with turpentine.
Plenty of these are ready, and at anun-
derstood signal they will be lighted
and thrown where they Will certainly
prove effective. Oh, we know well
enough that we cannot resist the or
ganized confederates, but you can RELY
upon it that only the ruins of Baltimore
will ever become a part of the slave
holding confederacy.'
II never saw my old union-Ioving to-
bacconist after that evening, for not
long afterward 1 was sent to the army
in the southwest and remained there
until the end of the war. We all know
that Baltimore remained in the union
and was not burned; but we know, too,
that the confederate army never made
q serious advance on Washington, so
that the opportunity waited for by the
confederates in the Monumental CITY
never came. How much truth, if any,
there was in the old mans story must
therefore remain unknown. only tell
the tale as it was told to men. Y.
