BEADING FOB THE SABBATH. Patience with the Living. Sweet friend, when thou and I are gone Beyond earth'n weary labor. When small shall be our need of jrrace From comrade or from neighbor; Passed all the strife, the toil, the care, And done with all the sithiiik What tender ruth shall we havo gained, Alas, by simply dying! Then lips too chary of their praise Will teU our merits over. And erea too swift our faulU to see Shall no defect discover. Then hands that would not lift a stone Where stones were thick to cumber Our steep hill path will scatter flowers About our pillowed slumber. Bweet friend, perchance twth thou and I, Ere love ia past forjrivln?, Should take the earnest lesson home: ' Be patient with the living. To-day's repressed rebuke may save Our blinding tears to-morrow; Then patience, e'en when keenest edge May whet a nameless sorrow. Tis easy to be gentle when Death's silence shames our clamor; And eay to discern the bent, Through memory's mystic glamor; But wise it were for thee and me, Ere love is past forjrlving. To take the tender lesson home: Be patient with the living. Boston Journal. Sunday-School Lesson for Feb. 27. In our last lesson Jesus was on his way to the home of Jairus, when the healing of the woman with an issue of blood took place, j Upon his arrival at the hcuse he restored Jairus's daughter to life, and soon after healed two men of their blindness and one possessed by a demon (Matt, ix, 27-U). After this, how long cannot bo exactly determined, he revisits Nazareth, his early home and the scene of a cruel persecution, "where he is again rejected, and soon after he makes a third circuit of Galilee, in which he is assisted by his disciples, whom ho Bends forth in companies of two. WHAT THE LESSON TEACHES. Though he had been forcibly ejected from Xtazareth before, his heart j-earns for the i riends of his youth, his home. Christianity fhould begin iu the home, if anywhere. Ihe man who dictates the policy of a church with unctuous suavity and acts the brute at home is apt to prevent more good than he does. If one is kind, considerate, helpful anywhere, let it bo in one's home end native place first. Every member of the royal houso of J lohenzollern has to learn a trade. One of the French monarchs was. a locksmith. The most eminent man the world has produced began life as a carpenter. If in these days the aristocracies of wealth and intellect should 6tart with the training of eye and hand, there would be a basis of broad, sympathy between capital and labor which now does not exist. This would be the first visible benefit of industrial training, but not the greatest; for dexterity of the hand, when added to the educated brain, rounds the whole nature, and has hich value in creating thoroughness and soundness of character. The term "dignity of labor" has gotten to mean the dignity of manual labor at the expense of all the varities of toil which the brain does. , To labor with one's hands or to be able to, is always honorable. This need not impeach that higher grade of labor which onr Iord undertook later,' and which is none the less dignified and hard. It is strange how unbelief can bo popular. Fashion takes freaks. Who knows but the time may come when it shall be "the thing" to cultivate aberration of the intellect? Folly and skepticism are equally marvelous. Christ's attitude toward mission work Rives us pungent thoughts umm that perplexing subject, lie confined their hrst Jabors to the home field. This was their training-ground. If they were successful in this they wero promoted to the more del?te task of evangelizing foreign nations. This might be a profitable wo v to conduct our missionary enterprises. The personal application is a direct one; let each one gain himself fir?t; then he is tit to win others to the truth in Christ This first missionary expedition was successful because it was conducted on the only basis of success obedience to divine command. Personal and News Notes. A new Presby tenan college is to be located at Marshall, Mo. The town gives $142,rjdO in money and $30,000 in land.

John O'Connell. rector m Limerick. was struck with apoplexy while serving in tne confessional, and died in a lew hours. In the Nineteenth Century Oscar Wilde says that "in the English Church a man succeeds not through his capacity for belief, but through his capacity for unbeliet." The oldest clergyman in the Church of England is said to be the Rev. Bartholomew Edwards, rector of Ashill. Norfolk, who took his degree in 1811, and was ordained in 1812. In order to enable the society to hold nronertv and eniov other nrivilfiures tertaiaing to a corporate body, "The Order of the King's Daughters" havo been incorporated. had so many professing church members " 1 "I . At among tneir students, in proportion to tneir uuiuuer, as now. According to careful calculations made by a British clergyman of note andiust published Protestants have increased dur ing uie last 100 years trom S7,U00,ouu to litt, 000,000, or nearly fourfold. A bill has been introduced in the Con necticut Legislature for the 'incorporation of Christian churches. Under this law churches would be incorporated without any separate parish organization. The question of the establishment of the Order of Deaconesses in the Presbvterian churches will be brought before the next I'resDytenan ueneral Assembly on a memorial from the Presbytery of Philadelphia. The gain of the varions churches in this country in 1888, in the aggregate, averaged seventeen churches, twelve ministers and 2,130 members for every day in the year, which suggests that the assumption that the churches are dying out is somewhat hasty and unfounded. Avery pretty incident occurred at Athens, Ga., the other day. At an afternoon prayermeeting held at a private house, as a hymn was being sung, a little canary bird, which had been quiet during the meeting, joined in with the singing, and continued nis soft, mellow notes until the song had ..been finished. A clergyman, having called up a class of girls and boys, began on one of the former in these words: "My dear child, tell mo who made your body." SShe had no idea of the question applying to anything beyond her dress, and dropping a quick courtesy, replied: "Please, sir, mother made the body, but I made the skirt." Kev. G. L. Demerest, D. D., secretary of the general convention of the Universalists of the United States, and wife celebrated their golden wedding Monday at Manchester, N. II. The attendance was very large, among those present being Kev. Mr. Sawyer, of Tufts College, who performed the marriage ceremony fifty years ago. Pilgrim Congregational Church at Worcester, Kev. Charles M. Southgate, pastor, has turned its old chapel into a gymnasium and a manual training school, where the young of both sexes can have recreation and instruction at a very moderate cost. This enterprise is in the same line with the Parish House which the Memorial Church people in Springfield propose to have. The order of Dominican Nuns, which Archbishop Corrigan is about to introduco into New York, is singularly severe in its discipline. The nuns never eat meat, and during Lent observe what is known as the black fast; that is, abstinence from even eggs and milk. Two nuns kneel constantly before the blessed sacrament in the tabernacle day and night. The nuns enpport themselves by making vestments and altar ornaments and by illuminating books. The new convent will be called Corpus Christi Convent. The Yearly Meeting of Friends, of Iowa, has adopted the plau of a paid pastorate, and now has- sixteen regularly supported pastors. Against this departure from Quaker policy the Philadelphia Friend thus remonstrates: "The whole statement discloses on the part of that Yearly Meeting a most sorrowful and rapid departure from the principles and practices of Friends a departure which, if not arrested, must evidently deprive that body of any just claim to be regarded as a true representative of the doctrines and testimonies of our society." Temper seduces the wisest of mortals to ppcak like the foolish; k ratienee enables the fool often to seem like the wise. -Junes E,KetmiUL ,

The kerosene used in Dakota freezes solid at seven degrees below zero, and it is as much a part of the household work to men tne caKe 01 kerosene as it is to wasn the dishes or sweep the iloor. Living in Japan is very cheap. You can rent a big house, keep three servants, have a drive every day and live oft the fat of the land for & per week. In addition to this the natives will take oil' their hats to you. As the result of an election wager Charles Hindman, of Chicago, is now engaged in a weary tramp from that city to Washington via New Orleans. He is now somewhere in iue interior 01 Georgia. Mr. Hindman has worn out three pairs of shoes since he began his tramp. The basement of the Interior Department at Washington is overrun with rats, who come out in battalions as soon as the clock strikes four, when the clerks quit work. They traverse all the passages and open rooms in search of remnants 01 luncheous, and are very bold. A man m Craig county, Virginia, has three children whose names are, respectively, Jailey Green Bird -Mayflower firickey, Oregon Texas Georgianna Brie key and Molina Truxilla Eutaw Sebilla Tootater linckey. The names are declared to be so entered in the family Bible. A man and his dog were walking on the railroad track, near Springvale, Me., last week, and, when a train approached, the man stepped from the track, but the dog did not. The engine struck the dog and knocked him against the man with such force as to render him insensible for a time. An "Emperor William clock" has been made in Berlin. The case represents the old Emperor's palace. When the hour RtnkeS the palace guard marches past, -and William I, with his first great-grandson, now the little Crown Prince, appears at the historic corner window where he 60 often showed himself to his people. For blandness of expression the following advertisement, taken from a London paper wants a good deal of beating: "I, Emanuel Emanuel, sole surviving partner of the firm ofE.& . Emanuel, goldsmiths, etc., beg to inform my customers and. friends that the announcement in a London paper of my death and burial is premature," There is a water-wheel in use at Bowdoinhain. Me., which is probably the onlv one of it9 kind in existence. It is twenty-seven feet in diameter, with a foot of its rim out of water at high tide; the spokes are wide and set diagonally, liko the vanes of a wind-mill. It turns eighteen hours of the day by tide power, running one way with the flow, the other with the ebb. With one foot fall of the tide this wheel gives about fifty horse-power. A young man of Hawkinsville, Ga., and his best girl" quarreled some davsago.and remained "at outs" with each other until the young man relented and bepan to devise some plan to "make up." Ho finally decided to try the effects of a flag of tmce, and cutting a delicate piece of white ribbon into the shape of a miniature flag, he sealed it in a swectly.-perfumed envelope and forwarded it to his fair enemy. It had the desired eflect, and she at once gave him permission to cross the line and be happy again.

A youth who went into a Buffalo store and asked for socks, not knowing the proper size, was told to hold out his hand. The customer held out his hand, and doubled up his fist, as directed. The clerk took a sock from a box, wrapped the foot around the fist, and guaranteed a perfect fit. "I am inst as sure it will fit you as though I had measured your foot," eaid ho, as the distance around tne fist is always the length of the foot." The disappearance and rescue of Captain Pruden, in Montana, who was lost irom camp, recently, in company with a government mule, was an exciting and peculiar adventure. Pruden was found by Firo Wolf, one of the Cheyenne scouts sent out to look for him. He had been lost ten days, and in all that time had nothing to eat. Tho mule was set free to graze every day, and at night returned to the place where Pruden was, and by its warmth kept the man alive. Back in the last century Alexander Smith, afterward known as John Adams, one of the ringleaders in thefamousmutiny on t he ship Bounty in 1789, saved a midshipman from drowning. Tho latter put 100 in bank to await Smith's call. It remained until it had risen to the sum of 96,000. Now three grandsons of the mutineer, living ou Norfolk and Pitcairn islands, have discovered their identity, and one of them has succeeded in establishing his title to the great accumulation. Punk, the well-known shaggy black-and-white shepherd dog belonging to General K. U. Sheridan, and the constant companion of his master for the last eighteen years, died recently at New Hartford, N. Y. He had lived far beyond the average of his kind. Few dogs ever reach tho ago of twelve years. The only one on record that livea to a greater age than Punk was the pet dog of Wilhclmma, the sister of Frederick the Great, which reached the age of nineteen. Punk was eighteen. An inmate of the penitentiary at Salem. Ore., cut off his hand in order to get a spell of illness. On his way to the penitentiary a few weeks ago he told the officer that he did not intend working while in jail. Ho was assigned to the foundry, and on tho first day burnt his foot. Afterward ho asserted fie was sick, and when this was found not to be the caso he mutilated himself. He used a hatchet and made two blows at the hand before he accomplished his purpose. The penitentiary doctor says the man is not insane. Fire under water may be produced by placing a small piece of phosphorus in a conically-shapcd glass filled with water and some crystals of chlorate of potash covering the phosphorus, and then pouring through a long tube funnel or a glass tube a few drops of sulphuric acid down on the mixture at the bottom of the glass. Tongues of flame can be seen flashing up through the water, the intense chemical action producing sufficient heat to inflame the phosphorus under the water. Where there is suflicieut heat and oxygen, fire will burn whether in air or water. A novel scarf-pin of French design has just appeared. It is a singing bird of gay Slumage. The apparatus consists of an lnia rubber bulb connected by a tube with the body of the bird, but concealed by the wearer's clothing. When the bulb is pressed it makes a wind current, which works a small whistle, and at the same time the bird's beak moves and his tail wiggles in a very natural way. To tho spectator, who does not see the machinery, it is a very, wonderful thing. Considering that tho bird is only the size of an ordinary scarfpin, it is really a curious piece of mech anism.

"Yes, I know it," she replied, "but he can't have it. His father died when he was six years of age, and I've done my best to get another man and failed. He can't have what I can't get." WOMEN IN AFRICA. i Some Travelers Who Are Really Fnthnaiastio Over the Charms of the Fair Sex. New York San. The explorer, Von Francois, was engaged -a while ago sketching an African village, which was a little out of the common because all the houses were built on platforms which kept them out of reach of high water when the river overflowed its banks.. While engaged with his sketch, he says, his attention was suddenly riveted by ."a black beauty." Many Caucasian ladies, ho thinks, could well envy this primitive maiden for her skill in the arts of coquetry as she poised her head now on this Ride, now on that, and paced daintly to and fro along me snore, using ner oig tuacK eves ail mo while to the best advantage. One would hardly notice the fact, he savs, that she wa very scantily attired so well was the lack ' of clothing supplied by elaborate and beautiful tattooing and long strings of cowrio shells, which she wore around her neck and body, while a girdle encircled her waist. Altogether, bethought, she was one of the most picturesque and attractive objects he had seen in Africa. Several recent travelers have spoken in quite complimentary and appreciative language of some of the ladies they have met in Africa. Becker had not gone inland one hundred miles from Zanzibar before he was expressing his admiration for tho "young and really pretty negresses and their attractive forms." Of course, he had plenty of opportunity to observe that "their shoulders are round and elegant, their anna are exquisitely molded, and their forms arequito perfect." "Our brown beauties," he adds, "were not particularly shy, but at the same timo they were quite reserved. They would ask us timidly for permission to pass their hands over our. skiu, whosw whiteness astonished them, but they retired in good order whenever we ottered reciprocally to pat their shoulders or cheeks." Another traveler, who has just written a description of several African tribes, thinks that the poorest taste in the way of ornaments he has seen is among the Bayansi women, who wear brass rings around their necks weighing twenty-live to thirty pouuds. The llesh under these rings, he says, is in many cases continuallv chafed and raw, and for hours at a time tl.e women support their rings on their hands in order to relieve the pressure upon their necks. And yet no well-to-do married woman would think that she could exist without her neck ring; and when they are asked if this ornament is not a very uncomfortable thing to wear they always pretend that they do not understand. Brass is money among tho Bayansi, and the men, in having it forged in big lumps around the necks of their wives, have found a safe but rather cruel method of money-keeping. Sunday Newspapers and Civilization. Boston Herald. A Lowell clergyman joins in the pulpit warfare against the Sunday newspapers. He thinks they keep people away from the churches, and he expresses a desire to locate in a place where they are not published or read. m Ho can probably be accommodated by going on a missionary trip among the howling dervishes of the African desert. Wherever civilization and Christianity havo penetrated he will probably hnd tho Sunday newspapers flourishing. Thev are generally found to travel hand in hand. One Successful Strike.
