He addressed a note to that lady, asking her permission to visit her "appartments at a lato hour that night. H« suggested that she place the key upou the outside of the lock as an indication of her consent to the proposition. The lady s-howed the note to a gentleman friend and invited him to be present at her apartments at the hour mentioned in the note of the old fool aforementioned.

He kndbked at the door and th6 lady bade him enter, which he did very willingly. The actress asked him if he had" written that note, he answered in tho affirmative, whereupon she produced an elegant little horse whip with which she chastised the amorus old rascal severely. The gentleman friend served as a reserve force, whose services wero not required as the old fool took his whipping without resistance.

R-. vifw Lesson—"Ministry
III,—LUKE'S ACCOUNT.
Luke introduces a new view of his life. Luke was not a full-blooded Jew. He was half Gentile by birth. As we make out by a comparison of Paul's letter to the Colossians iv., 10, 11 and 14, he was not circumcised. He was a moat intimate friend and inseparably bound to Paul in the bonds of Christ. He shared his imprisonment with him at Rome.- Of consequence his mind and heart would likely take the same direction as those of the great apostle# So they do, Matthew traces Jesus back to Abraham, and his Christ belongs to the Jews only—Matt, i., 1. Luke look9 on the Lord as tbe Savior of mankind, and so traces him to Adam —Luke iii., 38. Therefore the ministry of Jesus in Luke is for the whole race, Jew and Gentile, bond and free. Luke gives a Christianity for all mankind just as Paul does in Rom. x., 12. Luke gives us Jesus in the fullness of his humanity among men.
IV,—JOHN'S ACCOUNT.
John follows and gives the final disclosure of the divine Christ. His ig tbe spiritual gospel. He wrote last, after every other apostlic pen had been laid aside. He pressed the wine out of th© "word made flesh and filled the most matchless gospel of the four with the fuilne~s of the Godhead revealed in Jesus
These four independent accounts were written, without doubt, by inT spiration of the Divine Spirit, tnai tbe object exprrssed in John xx., rfl, might be reached: Out of the com# prehensive account of these four writers there are many eminent matters which deeply mark the ministry of Jesus: 1. It was ministry divinely determined, ages before. This you see by comparing Deut. xviii. 15 Acts iii. 20,22. The Christ of the Ne\v Testiment is the Christ of the Old Teslimeut more surely than the un
wmmm.
4 His
cf Je-
SttS.
Ilead the golden (ext—Johnxx.31. The four gospels give the life cf Jasus. But we may widen tbia statement, and says that Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John give together the ministry of Jesus. He came tominister and to give his life a ransom tor many. (Mat. xx, 28.). Each evangelist wrote with reference to a particular phase of mankind, and to a partial service ol Jesus* ministry.
i.—jiatthew's account.
Matthew addressed the Jews. His gospel was "written
fHi
Hebrew. It
was intended for a people who were familiar with Old Testament prophecies. respecting a coming Messiah. Therefore it abounds with proof to show that J03US answers to the Old Testament predictions. Matthew's gospel is the pivot upon which the two testaments turn round: the old becomes the new by easy transformatiou. Matthew dwells upon the exhibitions of Christ's life and char acter, which any one familiar with the prophecies would say fits well to the expectations ot Isaiah and David in the matter of his mean condition of birth, lowly state in life, and shameful suflering at death.
H.—MARK'S ACCOUNT.
Mark is supposed to have intended bis gospel for the Romans for while he does in mauy points of description aoree with Matthew, he has a noticeably diffident dfesigii. He brings out features upon the face of tbe King of Israel which grow as you look at them into the likenes3 of the "lion of tbe trib'.' ot Judah." In Mark you see all the powers of earth arising and assaulting him, and they vanished by him, and his kingdom rings with victory. The Romans ruled the world at that day. A Christ of corns manding power, with a kingdom of conquering force, was the one fitted for tue Romans. So Mark may have written to meet their wants, and those who might be like them. You see, then, our Jesus begins in Matthew to make way with tbe narrow formalism and cramping conditions of Judaism, and to introduce a kingdom of life, love, and liberty, Then Mark manifests the world's opposition to this, the assault against him, and his subjugation of them. There is not much said about the death of Christ in Mark only one of bis last sayings on the cross is given.

,"V-'
born child of a king is heir to his crown. .. 2. The ministry of Jesus was dii vinely described agefe before. On its suffering side see the picture which Isiah drew seven centuries before Christ was cradled in Bethlehem: I=aiah v., 3. On the side of triumph and blessing to the race, read tbe same prophet, Isaih ixi,, 1. There are only simple samples. If you take them as starting points and trace out the corresponding passages in your marginal Bibles, it will appear how minutely the ministry was described before he came. 3. His ministry was misuuders stood from the cradle to the cross. His mother, Mary, although she was a woman most emineDt for deep spiritual insight, could not fathom the mind of her child: Luke ii., 19. After he assumed a public position, nd had begun to scatter saving gifis both right and left, his brethren rejected tiim (John vii., 5.) and his kinsmen, relatives in general, regarded him as crazy: Mark iii., 21. At tbe moment when he matched his mighty power against the potentate of darkness, his enemies ignorantly declared that he cast out devils through an alliance with devils. His confidential friends, his circle of disciples, who walked and waited with him for three years,could not understand to the last that he must needs suffer and enter into his lory." They were constrained by his charming person to continue with him, but they never comprehended flis desigd to die for the world's salvation until after Pentecost.
He reacted tbe lawyer?, and yet easily the lost pubiican. Ho swept the entire circumference of society, touched it at points where money brokers (Mathew) wer« intent ou trade and interest where doctors were discussing physics (Luke) wbere military men wrought id council chambers (the cehturions) where religious rulers debated dogmas (Jairus), and where sinners, sick of sin, sought information (the woman in Simon's lioase). It was a mihistry of power. It was equally one of ceatlenes—"the bruised reed he would not break." He brought down the pride ot assuming Pharisees, and lifted up the heart of tbe humble "Son, be of good cheer, thy sins be forgiven thee." Mathew, ix, 2. 6. His mihistry was a marvel ol work. The country and Christendom are now inquiring how the distinguished evangelist in tho East can bear the wear of his work. It is wonderful as compared with the average endurance of others. But see Christ for three years daily and nightly so pressed as to have no pillowmg-plaee for his weary head. All the day in the city teaching, all the night on tbe mountain, or in some secret, place praying. I think we haw aright to make it an argument for his divinity thai he wrought with sued tncessant continuance. 7. His ministry was the most successful the world has ever seen. Looking at the mere number of professed disciples at the time of his death we might doubt this. But let us remem ber that
WBXK9,
ministry was a marvel of
human kindness. Let his life be read with a view to count tue number of times when he preached, and compare these with the number of times when he proved among men as a healer, comforter and benefactor, feeding and carina for the bodily comforts of men. Perhaps the church has never more than commenced to work after Christ's example in caring for the bodies of the poor, as a preparation for saving their souls They followed him in multitudes just for the sake of the loaves and fishes. But instead of casting them off, Jesus let them know their .motives were apprehended and then he went on to preach Read Juo, vi., 22, 29. Do not be afraid to influence Sabbath-school scholars by gifts, least they be base motives. Many of the motives which move all of us to Christian lives are comparatively mean and material. Safety after dekth and the beautiful city above are conspicuously held up before us. God does this. Then let us tempt chilliren by entertainments and sweets qind some of the society of our own hoflaeB to love the service of Christ by loving us, the servauts of Christ. 5- Tho ministry of Christ was one of exceeding comprehensiveness. Few ministers of religion have ever been able to reach both the old and the young. Christ was the children's dolight, and yet the doctors of the law looked in amazement when he tpoke. We think of m'iuisters as suited, one to a congregation of cultivated persons, another to the rural region and an unlettered people. But with Christ, the eommon people heard him gladly." And yet tbe learned, listening to him asked, "how hath this man this wisdom, having never learned?" He had iu the little band of his disciples, plain fishermen and also polished scholars, like Luke.
that work is truly suc
cessful which lives in long-bearing and full-bearing fruitfullness after the worker is gone. Getting a lew seculars into a class is. not much. They may leave it next week. Inducing some persons to hold up their hands as evidence of willingness to profess Christ is but little. They m&j soon lapse again. Only that is good work which lays foundations and builds up men in Christ. Study Christ's success from'the standpoint of its continuance, spread power of control over humanity and the joy it has introduced into tho world, and you will siv it is not and cannot be equaled. He will yet be crowned Lord of All. ,s ,•

Thereupon Dr. Parker responds in the same public auuiner thatjthe Bishop bus inflicted tbe greatest dishonor on the NoncoDfirmist communions in his diocese and the Dr. who had been invited to exchange pulpits with those Established Church ministers, absolutely refuses to do so under present cir» cumetances, But he will do his utmost to promote disestablishment.
.INDIANA'S FEMALE PRISON
A Glntiee at the Inmates nit A Tlicir Crimes, A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette has been visiting the Female Prison and Girls, Reform School located at Indianapolis. The people of the state are indebted to the efforts of Hon. Charles F. Coffin for the establishment of this institution, as it is doubtless the result of his indefatigable labors. It is constructed of pressed brick and cut stone from the quarria3 of Greeusburg, and cost with the grounds, some $8f,000. It is divided into two wings, occupied re--spectively by the prisoners and the reform pupils, and from cellar to garret convenience seems to have been the utmost thought in the architect's mind. Everything is as clean and careful as in any private residence. Indeed, except when the grated doors in the prison wing are in sight, one would hardly suspect he was in a prison, or surrounded by society out* casts.
MRS. SARAH L. SMITH,
The Superintendent, is a most remarkable woman Thirty years ago she came to Indiana from Eoglaud, settling in Wayne county. Very soon she was known throughout the county as an energetic and indefatl gable Christian worker. Tbe poor and the fallen found her a sincere friend, and through her efforts many a Magdalene is to-day living a happy Christian life. During the war her labors were transferred to the army LikeFlorenqe Nightingale, she visit ed hospitals, caring for the spiritual as well as physical wants of the soldiers. At Louisville, Cincinnati, Vicksburg, Nashville and Memphis she was known as "Aunt Sarah," and to the dying boy she was an ^angel of light.
In 1865 she opened a "Home for the Friendless" iu this city, and in seven years expended for its support, out of her own means, over $2,()09, besides devotingjto it all her time. She developed a wonderful faculty for reforming the abandoned. Her good face and winning manners secured the confidence of the friendless' at once, whose change under her tu.tion seemed almost miraculous. I have herd it said that the influence exerted by this gocd Quaker woman in 1hose seven years was equivalent to the united strength of the eutire clergy of the city.
When the institution of which I am writng was ebstablished, she was induced to become its Superintendent. liy occupying the position her opportunities for ioing good were not enlarged, perhaps, but she assumed responsibilities for which no other person in the state was so. well fitted by nature and experence. Here she has to.deal, with the abaudoned who have added crime to their list of sins and to reform and dicipline them at tbe same time is now the lahor of her life, ........... ffiSg A DIFFICULT WORK. V.i.£*
To combine this moral and physi cal restraint was a work of great dif Acuity at the outset. The women in the prison' wing were formerly con fined at Jeffersonville, where they led live8 not a whit better than before their imprisonment. Snch a thing as "reform" was never heard of. The authorities seemed to think their whole duty was performed if escape was prevented. Guards gave them whisky, tobacco and opium and for mental food furnished them the Day's Doings and Police Gazette. In return for these favors the young and better looking became their mistresses One young girl, about to become a
mother, after
her release sought out Mrs. Smith, then at
the home for the Friendless,
and confessed that
a
prison guard
was her seducer and the father of her child. This led to an investigation, whose revolting discoveries induced State, officials and Christian philanthorpists to continue their efforts for a female prison nntil the present institution was opened.
After leading such lives it naturally cost a struggle to make a change. The Bible was a poor subtitute for the Police Gazette, and prayer meetings led by women were not so inviting as a social frolic with prison guards of masculin gender. But to forego tbe use of tobacco and opium, seemed tbe most difficult. Everyone of them smoked, nearly all of them chewed tobacco, and half a dozen of' them ate opium. "There appeals for these sfimulants were heart-reador-ing," said Mrs. Smith. „They begged to be sent back, to Jefferson ville. The comfort of having clean, warm rooms and inviting food was no equivalent for tobacco and opium. Day and night their cries and groans resounded through the corridors, and for a timo it seemed as if their de» mands must be satisfied!"
But tone of the prominent characteristics of Mrs. Smith is'firmness. She resistsd their appeals and continued her work of reform. Very soon they became interested in the prayer meetings. "It reminds us of our childhood," they would often remark, "and this. Bible sounds natural." "How many times I have heard I my mother read it," said Aunt Sallie Hubbard!

The correspondent theD gives a history of a number of the female prisoners, and the following in regard to the: female murderers now confined in the institution.
THE WABASH MURDERESS. Among the life-prisoners are sev. eral, the histoay of whose crimes is fascinating. Once in awhile one of them refers to the cause of her imprisonment, but generally they shim all reference to it. The first one of these whom I met while passing through the long corridor leading to the cells, was Aunt Bailie Hubbard, better known as "the Wabash murderess." Seventeen years ago while she and her husband were living alone in a retired part of Wabash county, a man, accompanied by his wife and three children, asked permission to sleep under their roof for one night. They had come from Canada, and were going to Illinois, They were strangers in Indiana, and, in passing through various towns along their way, had made few acquaintances.
On the'strength of these representations the little family was taken in and exausted by the day's journey, th°y retired at an early hour. It was their lest sleep. Eager to obtain a large sum of money which the old man had inadvertantly exposed, Hubbard and his wife cut their throats and buried them ono grave under the floor of the cabin, Several weeks afterward the bodies of their victims were discovered, and Hubbard expiated his guilt on the "•allows. Aunt Sallie was sent to the penitentiary for life. She is now an old woman, seventy years of age and upward, but at no time has «he confessed her guilt. While at Jefiersonville she was a constant reader of the Police Gazette. Since coming here, however, she seems like another woman. Her Bible is her constant companion, and leisure hours are spent in exhorting new comers to lead a different life. She settles little difficulties that arise beeween the prisoners, and in other respects is of great assistance to Mrs. Smith. "I'm at peace with God," she often says, "and am ready to go home." She is very large and fleshy and in excellent health.
OTHER CHARACTERS.
Mary Longmaker, a life prisoner, has looked through grated windows for thirteen years. She poisoned her husband with tartar emetic while they were living in this city. Like Aunt Sallie Hubbard, she maintains her innocence, and, when not in a fit of great mental despondency, is at work amo»g her fellow»prisoners. urging them to lead a religious life. She has several chirdren living, who have been unceasing in their efforts to secure her pardon but her guilt is too apparent, and the circumstances connected with the murder too aggravating, to permit a pardon being granted, even on the strength of twelve years of good conduct. Her forehead is very low, and her mouth extends nearly from ear to ear. She is fifty«»two years old.
Mrs. Mary Adams is another husband poisoner, and although the evidence against her is most convincing, 2 she firmly adheres to her plea ofj "not guilty." She resided as Hard-j. ingsburg, Jennings county, and has been a prisoner six years. Her husband is buried at Seymour, in a cem-etery-near the .T.jM* & Ii road, and^ when taken' from Jeffersonvilie to^ this city she was visibly affectad ats| fhe sight of his grave. She professes to be a Christian, and makes long| and loud prayers. But. her lying la 'B notorious among the prisoners, ands4 she does a great deal of barm by preaching without' practicing. She.y is fifty-five years old.
OUGHT TO BE KILLED. he-
Jane Williams' erime was even more cold blooded than that of Aunt Sallie Hubbard. She lived with her.L?5 mother and brother in Salem. "My^. brother," she says, "married a flip-^ pety-flay girl who Wan't fit to live.X I felt it my duty tp kill her, and so,one day, while mother was in the garden, and my brother was at work in tbe field, I cut her throat from^* ear to ear! I threw, her on the bed and as I raised tbe knife that did the,: ,5 bloody deed, mv lister exclaimed,
O a 1 did. I felt that she wasn't fit to live, and ought to be killed."
It's a horrible story, but she seemed to take delight in telling it. Mrs. Smith saya she talks about her crime whenever any one will listen. Her deportment is good, and. with th® exception of a keen satisfaction •. which the rehearsal of her crime seems to give her, she appears like a thoroughly good woman* While at
Little Alice Beardj of Dubois counfy, a beautiful girl of eighteen, is here for the same crime. She walked twelve miles, gave birth to a child, and then walked back again,, leaving her baby to 'starve in the fence comer where was born. She is a sweet and prettyi girl, and gives evidence of having thoroughly repented her terrible crime. Her seducer is still at large. Iz
