to be disputing and the old man is
greatly excited. At last he points to

house upbraids the cringing mental

old man goes out. The tall man re-
sumes his restless walk. blowing
rings of smoke and now and then
glancing at his watch and from that

last he stops He listens. He hears a
step. He goes out into the hall to the
front door and filings it open. A dark
muffled form enters"
Mark well this man, Thaida. What
is he like?''
He is dark, very dark. He Is
emaciated. His face is drawn with
suffering. His clothes are in rags, yet
his bearing is proud and noble. They
pass into the drawing room. The dark
man is pleading with clasped hands.
The old man laughs scornfully. The
dark figure offers him something. +

him and points toward the door. The
dark man still pleads with many pas

beautiful as the night, and as she
weaves a youth watches her and
strokes the inky braids of her hair

We die not inquire whittier we were

tied knowledge of the metropolis i knew
it was still the Ghetto.
We stopped before one of those old
fashioned New York houses, once the
home of fashion and yet to be found in
the lower east side. Clarke sent UP
his card and we were admitted to a
drawing room furnished in a quiet mag
nificence that contrasted strangely with
the squalor and degradation all about.
The silken portieres parted and there
stood before us the most beautiful wom-
an it has ever been my lot to see. Her
black costume, rather plainly cut yet
fitting like glove: her raven hair. and
her big, lustrous black eyes formed a
perfect contrast to her marble fore
head; her cheeks of olive white, sur
charged with the pink of health and
her full red smiling lips, through which
showed teeth that seemed to glisten and
radiate their whiteness. The nose was
pure Grecian, noble, yet delicate. A
diamond sunburst, her only jewelry
blaZed at the white throat. Lovely
women l have seen of many nations
but never loneliness like this.

WEALTH AND WEAKNESS.
Wealth buys knowledge and power
that rightly used will make for the bet

regarded as all powerful Characters
that are not strong suffer greatly from
the possession of wealth. and as rea-
son why wealth and weakness are close

GOSSIP AND MALICE.
What is gossip It is putting to-
gether two and two and making five;
it is retailing talk and adding a per
cent; it is talking about your neighbor
with q malicious purpose. What Is the
evil Of gossip? It strikes at a mans
most valued possessions; it stabs in
the back; 1t Is the injury most difficult
to repair. It Injuries the gossiper. It
Is condemned by Gods word. The rem
edy? Get at the seat OF the disease,
which is the heart. Venom is only dis
charged by a venomous serpent. Mahc-
ious talk comes from a malicious heart.
Before speaking the derogatory terms
of another ask: els it true7 Is it neces-
sary? Is 1t kind REV. E. B. Bagley,

TRUE CULTURE.
The end Of true culture is peace with
oneself; to have established a modus
vivendi; not to be blown about between
good and bad, but to have found q
practical path through the mystery OF
things.-Rev. DR.. Frank Crane, Con-
gregationalist, Worcester, Mass
FEARLESS THINKER.
Some think a man is not a free and
fearless thinker unless he is a critic
This Is a great mistake. The critical
faculty has it's use and Is Of good serv-
ice in correcting and reforming abuse
but destructive thinking is the weakest
kind. It is nobler and better to build
UP than to pull down.-Rev. W. A.
Hunter, Presbyterian, Denver.
UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD.
Real brotherhood can be realized only
when men yield themselves to the weld
ing power of the Christian faith The
only universal brotherhood there can
be Is that brotherhood of men who lose
self interest in the larger motive which
would lead them to bring the lost world
and bind it with gold chains about the
feet of God.-Rev. 3. I. Johnson, Meth
odist, Cleveland, o.
THE CUP OF SALVATION.
What shall I render unto the Lord
for all his benefits toward me? Will
take the cup Of salvation. There you
have it. Gods goodnesees thus far are
meant to be sweet little temptations
TO induce you to take more OF his
goodness. Many a time m the barn
yard I have trailed a little corn or
other grain in wind1ngs queer and
through narrow pathways just to see
the fowls follow that little trail of
grain. Watch the chickens fly and
peck. Watch them keep to the way
| have marked. I want to bring them
into the poultry house, ind now see,
safe inside for the night close the
door. They are just where 7 want
them. Like this the great sender Of
blessings to humanity leads US by the
paths Of his good gifts into his
heavenly house What he has be-
slowed in human liberty. in TWEEN
tieth century progress, in health. in
family happiness. in every particle of
prosperity, he has bestowed chiefly
that you might be inclined to take
his greatest OF an blessings, the gift
of salvation.-Rev. s. Edward Young,
Presbyterian, Pittsburg.
AT HOME WITH GOD.
The great business of Christianity
is to make us feel at home with God.
The great question that concerns US
all in this state of preparation 10,
How shall we get more at home with
