DOherty Brothers Play Fast Tennis.

LONGWOOD, Mass, July SO.-The tennis
at the Longwood Cricket Club to-day
proved of little interest. Neither r. A. nor
II. L. Doherty, the Englshmen, had regu-
lar games, but played two sets with each
other, during which they showed some of
the fastest tennis seen in this country for
some time. They will play another double
match against Neeley and WILDER in the
Eastern championship series tomorrow,
and Friday probably will meet w. a.
Iarned and Leo Ware.

WELL AND TRULY SAID.

Falsehood does not help the cause of

Real religion is where faith is
where hope and love are. That is
where religion is and where God is.-
Rev. William T. Brown.
Character is life. When we speak
of character we feel the pulse of reli-
gion, and we sound the depths of Chris
tianity.-Rev. ]. C. Mitchell.
Believe and you will be able to be-
lieve more. At last, men come into a
faith habit of life. They live in the
atmosphere of faith.--Rev. DR.. Myers.
Character is like the unfinished pic
ture on the easel. We must not let It
lie too long without some fresh, vital
touch, or we shall lose the inspiration
of our acknowledging.
Some pass on through life, allowing
some passion of their nature, perhaps
avarice, to control them, in place OF
the Divine law. Their dealings with
the world are purely superficial.-Rev
E. A. Magevney.
The real alphabet of all morality
theology and religion lies in the rec
ognition, so unanimously advertised
all the way through Scriptures, that
holiness is exceedingly holy and that
welcomes is exceedingly wicked
Rev. DR.. Parkhurst.
The Christian life is a transfigura.

BIRTHDAY OF THE PRINCE.

-where lies the Childf" the Magi cried;
"A star hath told US He hath come,
And here, on this Christmastide,
The Prince of Peace hath made His
home"
Rich gifts they brought-a precious store
OF gold and Jewels from the mine
And poured their offerings down before
The manger OF the Light Divine.
where is our Lord?'' the shepherds said:
I'VE, too, have seen the heavenly sign,
And, with a glory round His head,
We seek the Prince of David's line"
Poor toilers OF the desert wild.
To Him they brought no golden gifts,
But In their hearts the wondrous Child
Inspired the love that life uplifts.
Again the Christmastde is here,
And children's happy voices ring;
Again His star burns high and clear,
Again the herald angels sing.
And rich or poor. or high or low.
We bring our offerings to His shrine,
And at His feet rejoicing throw
Our richest gifts of mind or mine.
o, Prince OF Peace, whose name we bear,
Come, Thou, and make us all Thine
own!
Thy crown we one day hope to wear;
Build I'm our hearts Thy royal throne.

LAPSES FROM RELIGION.
Mean Degradation and Misery for

Every lapse in thought from the
Christian standard spells degradation
for multitudes. But it spells misery.
too. The experiment of life reduced
to a play of molecular forces, does
not correspond to the nature OF
things; it is dream upon which re-
atty is always breaking in, and the
dreamer cannot sleep in peace, says
the National Review.
Hence the innumerable Nightmares
which weigh upon modern cities, and
the more advanced their condition, SO
much the more do they breed these
unpleasant phenomena. In Paris OF
late years every conceivable supersti-
tion has found a home. Among our.
selves, the temper which welcomed
Neo-Buddhism is not extinct, and
ridicule fails to kill the varieties OF
occult science. An unwholesome
mysticism spreads like fungus over
much recent literature, and it will
continue to spread so long as Prof
Haeckers unbelief darkens the sky
Let it be granted that there
is an eclipse of faith; who
will expect from the abyss
of nescience to see fresh dawn

A keen-eyed, sharp-faced girl was
listening restlessly TO one who chided
her for ingratitude.
Miss Emeine has started a night
school for you mill girls; she asks you
to her house once q month and offers
you books TO read, and yet you'll not
go half the time. You will not take
any pains to please her even when
she's trying to do so much for YOU"
"She ain'tl" was the unexpected re-
Ply. "She don't really care very much
how We feel or what comes of us, sc
long as she's bein' sweet an good an
charitable, herself. She amt thinkin'
half so much about maxim anything
ont of us as she is about maxim q min

Thanksgiving Turkey.

Sometimes the hills are white with SHOWS.
Sometimes the fields are brown and bare,
And hocks of somber-coated crows
Fly through the soft and hazy air
But, be there wind, or rain, or shine,
Or mist and mud, or sleet and hail,
Thanksgiving turkeys always fine;
tbs never known the day to fail.
Though other birds have sweeter note
And gayer hue of feather
The turkey always gets my vote
He comes, whate'er the weather!

The Bird Of the s...oo

The bird love ne'er spreads a wing
TO soar into a cloudless sky;
He's not harbinger OF spring,
Not being much upon the fly.
He never MARBLES with his breast
Against a thorn, as you'd suppose,
Nor fiutters songful round his nest,
Nor twitters TO the budding rose.
1 never knew his tuneful note
To I'LL with melody the wood;
There's something wrong about his throat
His range and compass is not good.
Nor does he dart through leafy screens,
With rainbow plumage flashing bright
He can't be called by any means
A dazzling jewel to the sight.
But put, well stuffed and brown and hot
Upon platter fair to see,
He hits my sentimental spot
The turkey is the bird for me-
