JOHNNY'S COMPOSITION—CATS.

Harper's Young People, The cat is n very interesting an-

imal. He is a small for dog that meows, and has whiskers and sev- eral other things. He has four paws—two fore paws and two be- hind ones—and a tail. He has been known for many years, two of him haying been said to be in the Ark, where he must have been tied up, or what would have become of the rats ? Cats don't get to be cats until they are a year old, when they stop being kittens, which they are born as. It takes a kitten several weeks lo get his eyes open, if he doesn't get drowned before that time, and he scratches when he is mad. My father says animals used to be cats, but gottl.eir backs up oue day aud couldn't get them down again, and so they became camels. I never heard a camel meow, but I suppose they can, be- cause they can do most anything, having seven stomachs and going many days without water.

The dictionary says a cat is a carnivorous quadruped, but that does not sound like a cat. The old Egyptians used to be very fond of the cat, treating him like a member of their own family, and making mummies out of him when he died. Some of these mummies still live. They nsod to hang peo- ple for killing cats in Egypt, be- cause the cat was supposed to be a

sacred inimal, being-a sign cf the moon, probably because they are generally out all night- We have a cat named Tom, and h < has six kittens, which he washes their face every day just like me.

Cats never fall cut of anything without landing on their feet, which is why their feet are so soft; and they have to bo killed nine times before tboy die, and some- times they don't even then. They eat milk when tame, and when wild they cry like a baby until some- body comes to see what iu the matter, and then they eat him, which is fatal and teaches people to mind their own business, and not go seeing what other people's children are crying7or.

HOW TO DRINK A FARM.

Western Christian Advocs^.

Bob Burdette gives this simple recipe : "My homeless friend with a chromatic no3e, while you are stirring up the sugar in a ten cent glass of gin, let me give you a fact to wash down with it. You may say you have longed for years for the free, independent life of the farmer, but have never been able to get money enough together to buy a farm. But that is just where yon are mistaken. For some years you haye been drink- ing a good improved farm at the rate of hundred square feet a gulp. If yon doubt this statement figure it out yourself. An acre of land contains 43,560 square feet Esti- mated for convenience the land at $43.56 an acre, yon will see that it brings the land to just one mill per square for t, one cent for tan square feet. Now pour down the fiery dose and imagine you axe swallowing a strawberry-patch. Call in five of your friends and have them help yon gulp down that five-hand red- foot garden- Got on a prolonged spree some, day, and see how long it require* to swallow pasture-land enough to feed a cow. Pot down that glaas of gin; there is dirt in it- one hundred feet of good, rich dart, worth t4M* per cent

AN APPEAL

To the Women of North Carolina.

Great needs prepare the way for great deed*, and the women of North Carolina have now an oppor- tunity to prove this true by coming to the support of the lady mana- gers, who are trying to raise a fnnd for the erection of a State building at the World's Fair in Chicago next year- In these efforts they are relying on the co-opera- tion of their sisters in the State, because this is an hour of need, and the patriotism and pluck of our women and the generosity of our men will not fail the State in any dark hour or real emergency.

The last legislature made an ap- propriation of $25,000, presumably for the purpose of a North Caro- lina exhibit at Chicago, bat a technicality in the bill rendered it unavailable, and our only legacy from the legislature was regret and disappointment. Now the stern fact remains that we have no funds, wherewith to place our be- loved State in an honorable posi- tion among other States at the Columbian Exposition.

The Board of Agriculture, with patriotic impulse, has undertaken to lift the State from the quagmire of reproach, which threatened to engulf her, and has assumed the responsibility of showing our re- sources, at Chicago, in a way which will reflect credit upon the State and upon that Beard.

The Exhibition is International, and it is required that all exhibits for competition shall be placed in

the Main Buildings, according to certain classifications. So this ex- hibit from North Carolina will go into these buildings and we are not afraid of the result, for where ever it is placed it will be sure to

attract attention, and set forth the great value of our resources. But this is not enough. We possess many advantages beyond these products of farm, factory, forests' and mines, and it' is for the exhi- bition of these other things, not

admissible in the Exposition Build- ings, tbat we need a State Building.

Our wonders of mountain and sea aud soil do not surpass onr wonders of air and flora and scene- ry and water-power. These things cannot be "classified," hence we must make a special exhibit of them, or else of necessity they will remain unknown, unappreciated and unutilized. I believe that our climate is yet to prove the Sesame

which will open to us the benefits of desirable emigration. Necessary irrigation in the far West, the fatal blizzard of the Northwest, the rigors of the North, cause the people to turn with eager longing toward the South, where the balmy clime, with fertile soil seems to rest under God's smile.

In this State Building we can show in many ways this climate, which gives so much and withholds so little of blessing. There we can show our flora, our great water- power, our lovely scenery which has long since made us known as the Switzerland of America. We must show these things well, be- cause the manner in which they are shown will illustrate the character of our people- Then this building will be a rendezvous for North Carolinians visiting Chi- cago—a picture of home life trans- ferred to the land of the stranger, which will bring a thrill of pleasure to our Hearts, and where we can receive and answer letters; there we can meet our friends by ap pointment, there find . guides to steer us through the mazes of immense grounds and stately build- ings, and there we can rest when sick or weary, sure of help and loving care, which, while others might accord the same, is more acceptable from onr own ilk. There are so many things, useful and beneficial to North Carolina for which this building can be nsed that the Lady Managers earnestly call upon the women of the State to help us raise money for this purpose. We ask all to-give something—no matter how small

the contribution is—it will help swell the total- We will make an effort to reach as many as possi-

ble by visiting the towns and villages and organizing auxiliary clubs and thus making the move- ment general. Co-operation means success, and what to a few seems a burden in tha hands of many becomes light

I wish, i knew that every woman in North Carolina would attend |j^.J.^iail^..aad.t*ap--«o-M Ifcaaet* fcuaita pftwveuoai Oppor-

tunities, and I know they would thrill with pride and pleasure in the sight and enjoyment of the State building, and the conscious- ness of knowing that they helped to build it

It has been suggested that we reproduce in Chicago the old historic Tryon palace, which stood in New Berne while North Caro- lina was yet a colony. Mwiy consideration make this reproduc- tion appropriate. Unique design will makait attractive, the mviiiim^' who like himself had just

of its style will tipify the strengitefltePPed from the morning train. and simplicity of our people, and it can b3 economically arranged to meet our needs for this occasion.

It is deplored that the name Tryon became associated with this historic edifice. It is a name associated in our history, with the egotism, ostentation,and misdeeds of a man whom we all execrate. In these personal attributes the house took no part The man we con- demn to obloquy, but the building we wish to reproduce as a colonial legacy from our wrong-opposing ancestors, to emphasize the advance of architecture and as a landmark in the evolution of the colony into a State.

Virginia proudly claims to be the Mother of States. We claim that North Carolina is the Mother of Colonies.

Here was planted the first colony in North America. Here was born the first white native American. Here was shed the first blood of the Beyolution. Here was made the first Declaration of Independ- ence. Here was the first generous cession oi territory to make anoth er State-

Ever first for the right and against a wrong and such a State, with such a people, stand idle, while the procession of States passes on through this gate of opportunity into the fields of prog- ress and development I It must not be.

As an original colony—as the mother of all the colonies, North Carolina must take her rightful position in this Columbian celebra- tion.

I call upon the women of the State to join in the effort to accom plisli this.

Like all our earthly efforts,

money is necessary to its success, and we ask all to give something and thus make the result great.

Bear in mind, daughters of this mother of colonies that the first white child born on her shores was a girl—Virginia Dare. The winds and waves of Roanoke Island yet hold fast the mystery of her fate, yet down the sounding aisles of time her name comes echoing as an inspiration to North Carolina women, to Dare make an effort to show her birth place and theirs in a way worthy of its history-

"Hold on there, Bedmond! Yon have done me many a good torn, and now when I have a little spare change I want to treat you handsomely. Here is a restaurant with plenty of tempting things in the window, so come along." And the speaker, Cyrus Brant, laid a detaining hand on the arm of the

MOTHER.

. -i

When gruff old Dr. Johnson was fifty years old he wrote to his aged mother as if he were still her way- ward but loving boy:

"You have been the best mother, and I believe the best woman in

the world. I thank yon for all your indulgence to me, and beg forgiveness of all that I have done ill, and of all that I have omitted to do well."

John Quincy Adams did not

part with his mother until he was nearly or quite as old as this; yet even then his cry was: _"Oh, God, could she have been spared yet a while longer! Without her the world seems to me like a solitude and a wilderness."

When President Knott, of Union College, was more than ninety years old, and had been for half a century a college president, as strength and sense failed hurt in -dying hoars, the memory of his mother's tendermss was fresh and potent; and he could be hushed to needed sleep by a gentle patting on the shoulder and the singing to him of the lullabies, as if bis mother were sitting by his beside in loving ministry, as. she had been well nigh a century before. The true son never grows old to a true

mother. '

"Better save your money, Cyrus, connected the other boy. "Fel- lows like you and me cannot afford to be too generous."

I have saved it already, you set.,"' returned Cyrus, holding up a bright quarter.

"I euchered the isilroad com- pany ont of this shining bit and consequently deserve an extra bits for my cleverness."

"Cheated the railroad company ' I don't understand you, Cyrus," exclaimed Redmond. "What do you mean ?

'T palmed a half-fare ticket off on the conductor as >ou might have done if you had kept your wits about you," was the reply.

"That was not honest Cyrus- Only those between seven and twelve belong to that favored class. I am over thirteen, and you are a year older."

"But I am not quite as large. The conductor looked at me sus- piciously, but I went on reading as innocently as a baby, and he passed along without questioning me. It is nothing when you get used to it I could name a dozen fellows who are shrewd enough to take advantage of their size. The conductors never find it out, and consequently the company is none the poorer."

"Perhaps not but the boys who

sell themselves so cheaply are. No one can afford to be dishonest Cyrus,.said Redmond. "If a fel-

(Aow wishes to succeed in the world, he must retain his own self- reapect"

"Don't preach, Red.ly; I never knew a Lenox yet who was cut ont for an orator, aud you are no ex- ception," retorted Cyrus, impa- tiently. "Come in and get a lunch. aud you will feel in better terms with yourself and the rest of the world generally."

"No, thank you, Cyras- It is too early to lunch," answered Red- mond, decidedly.

"Well, I would hate to have such troublesome conscience," said

Cyi us. "You are afraid you would choke on stolen sweets, I presume."

Redmond made no reply for a few moments, then he said slowly: "You know, Cyras, that I have promised henceforth to live for Christ Would I be honoring him should I engage in what I am con- vinced is wrong t His command is 'Follow me—' "

"And you think you would have a long time to wait before yon could follow him into a place to

partake of food procured with other men's money," interrupted Cyrus. "Very well! You go your way, and I will go mine, and see which of us will get rich the soon- er- Some folks strain at gnats and swallow camels."

"Bat you haye strangled your- self on gnats at the very outset, young man. I am superintendent of this road, and came down here for the purpose of engaging a new messenger boy for our busi- ness here," remarked an elderly gentleman, who had been standing near them doling the discussion. "You applied for the place, and your name is Cyras Brent After what has passed yon will not ex- pect me to employ you. Instead, I shall offer the position to this other lad, who cannot afford to part with his self-respect on any terms. I do not make much pre- tention to religion myself, bat a boy who tries faithfully to walk in the steps, of Jesus will never go very far astray.

"About the what I" "The dodo." "Dodo? Dodo? Well, really

I don't know much about it- The dodo, I believe, was a species of waterfowl, now extinct, or nearly so."

"Is that why they are so expen- sive ?"

"Eh ? Um-1 don't know about

that my dear." "But they are quite costly, aren't

they ? "Well, really, I can't say. I

don't suppose they cau be obtain- ed at all, or at least not readily."

"But what do yon do with them, dear, after you purchase them f

"Eht What's that?" "How do you use them ?" "For heaven's sake, Nellie, are

you going crazy ? Use what I" "Why, the dodos, to be sure; the

dodos tbat you have been buying lately."

"What in the world do you mean ?"

"See here. This little account book fell ont of yonr -coat this morning as I was brushing it. I am not a bit curious, Charles—you know that—but I just glanced through the book and. couldn't help seeing that you've been buy" ing dodos right alcng. Look! 'Drinks and cigars, 60 cents; dodo, $3-00 j dodo, $1.90; dodo, $310.' Now it occurred to me if you buy so many of these extinct birds yon might at least give me a chance to see one of them."

2- Although engaged in my men and women of God at times under the oltl dispensation, it was never sought as a pleasure as now, but was one of the ways that tbey praised God in the time of victory.

3- The sexes did not dance to- gether as now.

4. The New Testament tells of but one case of dancing, and that in purpose is more like the dancing nowadays than any dancing in the

The REFLECTOR is authorized to state that Senator Wiilis B- "Wil- liams, of Falkland, will be a candi- date before the convention in Ral- eigh, on the 18th of May. for State Auditor, it being understood that Hon. G- W- Sanderlin is a candi- date for Governor. Senator Wil- liams has friends all over the State and will go in with a strong following from the first district-

California had two or three earthquake shocks last week. If such happenings were to go on just at thi3 time it might serve to frighten some of the Dewspaper folks away from the National Editorial ilssociation which meets in San Francisco next month, if it wasn't that they are a set who are right hard to scare, even with an

earth quake.

We see from the Washington Progress that there are two calls for. the County Convention of Beaufort from different chairmen of Executive Committees. G F. Warren signs as chairman in one of the calls and J. H. Small in the other. It looks to us as if there is enough canger threatening the Democratic party now from other quarters and that there should not be wrangling among such Demo- crats as C F. Warren and J- H Small as to which is the chairman. We hope to see the matter adjusted

at once

We are glad to see the following which we clip from the Chronicle of the 25th inst. The REFLECTOB trusts that by the time the conven- tion meets in Baloigh in May there will not be found a man who desires to have anything inserted in the platform that will give any true Democrat offense, be he a member of the Alliance or not. We repeat that our interests are ope and the tame, aud in conse- quence there is no necessity for division among us. The Chroni- cle says:

It is understood that Col. Polk is op- posed to injecting, into a Democratic convention of his State, political princi- ples which lie learns are opposed by large niimliers of that party. This is u far manlier policy than to attempt to enforce them upon such a convention by a course which in DO sense can meet the approval of those who woidd ordiuarily lie fair. Col. Polk openly declares for the St. Louis demands, plants his standard in the open tleld and calls to his rapport the advocates of the St. Louis doctrines. He declines to appear in disguise, anil while we regret that he has seen proper to adopt the course indicated, we are frank to admire his candor. There ought t« be honor in politics as well as honor in other things, and we confidently believe that certain individuals will receive a lesson from the ensuing State convention wJiich v ill he impressed upon Ihcni for life. The people arc honest and will not sanction dishonorable means to accom- plish any end.

Mr. J- M- Mewborn, of Jjeuoir county, Alliance Lecturer for the second district, spoke in the Court House here on Monday. Only a day or two's notice was given of his coming hence I ot a large crowd was present to hear him- Mr. Mewborn spoke for about two hours and is a pleasant speaker.

He spoke at length upon the things that are bearing directly upon the people, contraction and low prices- He has no belief in the cry of overproduction—the trouble is that there is not enough money in circulation to carry on the business of the coun- try. He spoke also upon the banking system—that national banks ought to be abolished and money loaned direct to the people at a low rate of interest upon land and product security. He touch- ed briefly upon the sub treasury, but said he was willing to accept anything better that could be offered to bring about the relief that the producing States need- He used some figures from the last census reports to show how certain of the New England States were gaining in wealth while the agricultural States of the South and West were losing. He also used several illustrations and a few anecdotes as he went along. The audience listened to him very attentively- In the part of his speech we heard Mr. Mewborn made no reference whatever to the Third Praty,' and we have been told he is strongly opposed to the Alliance going into it.

Col- Harry Skinner spDke in Washington Monday and we hear that his speech j ust captured every- body, both Alliancemen and uon- AlKancemen. Some in compli- menting him said they had been led to expect a different speech from wha's they heard, and were now ready to declare that he is doing more good by his conserva-

tive speeches than any man in North Carolina- About ten days ago Col- Skinner spoke in Gran- ville. county, and also at Hender- son, aid we hear the same strong endorsemant of his speeches com- ing from those quarters.

0The primaries are to be held in this county on next Saturday. It behooves, every white man who is a.Democrat to attend these meet- ings- II there is interest mani- fested in the primaries, there will be large and interesting conven- tions, and in consequence a full vote next November. It would be & sad calamity for North Carolina

Roosevelt is understood to be Ereparing another report that will e sensationnl in its charges of

violations of the law by Federal officials in Chicago, inasmuch as it will attack the Republican Nation- al committee for having sent an ex-Gmgressman to Chicago to collect campaign funds from office- holders.

The question of whether the votes 'ot those Senators who sup- ported Mr. Kyle's amendment striking the words "in gold coins of the United 8tates" out of the bill to amend the Arizona funding- act of 1890, and inserting in lieu of them the words "in lawful money of the United States," commit them to the free coinage of silver, an interesting one, and it is being much discussed here- H it does, Senator Hill is a free coinage man.J as he voted for the amendment, which was adopted by a vote of 28 to 24. Senator Daniel, of Virginia, said while the amendment was being discussed in the Senate: The silver question is not going

to down at any man's bibbing or at any party's bidding. There is a majority in both Houses of Congress for the free coinage of silver if no alien or subtle influ- ences are exercised on members." Some take the ground that this vote has no bearing whatever on the silver question, but only indi- cates that the 28 Senators who voted for the amendment are op- posed to the enactment of any law rccoguizing only a single stand- ard of value.

RepresentativeSpringer's bill for an international monetary confer- ence, which is considered to be a very important measure, has been referred by the committee on Foreign Affairs to a sub-committee consisting of Representatives Ray- ner, of Maryland; Hooker, of Mississippi; and Harner of Penn- sylvania.

Deficiencies in appropriations made by the billion dollar Congress are still being reported to the House. A letter was recei red from the Department of Justice this week asking that $1,629,568 be appropri- ated on that account for it.

No democrat having the wellfare of his party at heart corld look with any other feeling thr a regret upon the squabble of the demo- cratic members of the House, this week, over the report of the Elec- tion committee in the contested election case of Noyes against Rockwell.

Virginia has a big delegation here working for the appropriation for the international Naval Review next year.

An investigation has been made by an official of the department of Justice of the charges made by Assistant Secretary Nettleton against Superintendent Owen, but Secretary Foster is out of town and it is not known whether it is the usual white-wash or not

WASHINGTON LET ."-R.

From our Regular Correspondent. WASHINGTON, D. G, April 25, 92. Mr- Harrison appears to have

been brought to a realising sense of his situation bv the speech of Senator Teller, of Colorado, charg- ing him with using his official in fluence to control the votes of the Representatives and Senators on the silver question, and with being allied with the money bags of Wall sU-eet against the interests of tho people, for since that speech was delivered he has stated positively that unless something should occur however, to giye'a Governor two to bring about a change in his mind ho would shortly take occas- ion to state formally that he would not be a candidate for a second term.

This decision was not, however, altogether due to Mr. Teller's speech. The fact that he cannot possibly be elected if he is nomina- ted has been thrust upon Mr. Har- rison from all quarters recently, and he has at last realized that it is true. Platt and Warner Miller both agiee that he cannot carry Now York; Quay and Cameron ad- mit that his nomination would make Pennsylvania doubtful; Indiana republicans say he wonld have no chance of carrying his own State ; men who know have told him that it was doubtful whether he could carry a single one of the Pacific

WAXAHACHIE, TEXAS, April 4th, '92- Editor Eastern IteJUctor:

Texas is truly a beautiful country at this season of the year. It seems that '"Old Dame Nature" has put forth her utmost in cloth- ing herself in her green garb. The green fields and the beautiful forest present a pleasing appear- ance to the eye. Corn and cotton looks beautiful as well as wheat and oats.

This perhaps is the finest agri- culturing part of Texas. Manuring and fertilizing are unknown here among the farmers. Their lauds arc always ready to grow any thing, being very rich from nature. The weather, however, is very warm here in spring and summer- To day in the sun the thermometer registered forty six, although she evenings and mornings are very comfortable.

Every one in Texas now seems to be interested in politics. Gov. Ho

PITT COUNTY.)

Greenville, N. G, April 9th, '92. At a_ meeting of the Executive

Committee of tie Democratic party of the county of Pitt, held in Green- ville this day, pursuant to a regular notice given by the chairman, it was orderea that a County Con- vention of the party to be held in Groenville on Satuiday the 7th day of May 1892, for the purpose of appointing delegates to the S'ate Convention called to meet in the city of Raleigh on tho 18th day of May 1892.

It was further ordered that the township meetings to appoint delegates to the County Conven- tion beheld at the usual places in each township, at 2 o'clock P. M., on Saturday the 30th day of April, 1892.

Each township will be entitled to appoint to the County Conven- tion one delegate and one alter- nate for every twenty-five Demo- cratic votes, and one delegate for fractious of fifteen or more votes cast in the last Gubernatorial elec- tion, tnat is to say: Beaver Dam is entitled to Belvoir

Tho administration having made a fizzle of its attempt to negotiate a reciprocity treaty with Mexico the House committee on Foreign Affairs, behoving that "geograph- ical location, similarity of inst-itu- tions,and community of commercial iuterests would seem to justify every reasonable effort to promote close trade relations," has reported

terras in this State as the Govern ors are only elected for two years, although it seems that Governor Hogg will be unsuccessful in getting the nomination for the second term, as the two leading papers of the State, (the Dallas and the Galveston JYews,) and the dissatisfied element seem to be in the majority.

Although" the Republican minor--j ity in this State is something like 150,000, yet they are trying to gain some notoriety by purifying the party and making it a little respect - able.

The white Republicans of he State (at least a few of them) met in convention at Dallas a few days ago and formed a party known as the Lily White Republicans cutting themselves loose from their colored brothers and nominating a full state ticket with A-J. Houston (son of Gen. Samuel Houston) as their standard bearer. Houston can be nothing more than his party's nominee as it is impossible for him to be elected Governor. The col- ored Republicans seem to bo very indignant over the action of their white brothers. They denounce them as a few disappointed office seekers- It is possible "that the neg- roes will combine and nominate a ticket of their own putting one of their number at its head.

There was much gratification over the election of Roger O. Mills to the Senate. Senator Mill* is Undoubtedly the most popular man in the State. "

XI GBEENVILLE, N. C , APRIL 27th, 1892. NO. 15

fIo**im-iilli>n l)rm;ind»l. William Lloyd Garrison has great

faith in the refining power of woman, it would seem frmo Ids address on coedu- cation before the Woman's Suffrage as- sociation. According to his idea, tlie separati-in of the sexes in college is so- cially unwise. The criticism that he would make applies to Wellesley, Vas- sarand Smith, us well as to Harvard. Yale and Princeton. The in. n:a lie sys- tem there obtaining helps to perpetuate injurious and artificial social distinc- tions beyond the college wells. The remedy which he recommends for un- dergraduate excesses among men is co- education. To quote his words:

Throw open the doors ol Har\-ard to women on equal terms, absorb the an- nex into the college proper, ami as the night follows day scholarship will rise and dissipation fall by the law of gravi- tation. The moral atmosphere will find iuiuieuiate puritication and the daily ■asocial ion Of brothers and sisters in in- tellectual pursuits impart a breadth of view which is an education in itself. Then the double and false standards of judgment will be abandoned. What is morality for Harvard will no longer lie deemed destructive for Wellesley. The current philosophy rjf Cambridge holds that a limn muy cuuimit acts auu in- dulge in sights that would damage fot life the reputation and prospects of a woman student.

Among Harvard's benefactors, how many generous and disinterested women are enrolled. Their gifts are. ever wel- come, but its degrees are not for female hands. In Massachusetts, where for forty years the struggle for equality has found its ablest champions, the prizes of learning most coveted are disdainfully withheld from women. I hope my chil- dren will live to see a woman president of Harvard college, and the thought of sex relegated to the monasteries and nunneries of the Dark Ages.

This was all tiie information Mr. Dav- enport could elicit from the dusky seer. —St. Louis Republic.

Dr. Louise Fisko Bryson reverses the theory of health as a means of beauty and advocates beauty as a means of health. She nffirins that systematic ef- forts to lie beautiful will insure a fair degree of health, and that happiness is the liest safegnard against rice. Dr. Bryson says that the prayer of the New York child. "Lord, make us very sty- lish." is an inspiration based upon souud scientific principles and is worthy of commendation.

"What is it?" said the little doctor, in speaking on this subject a few days since, "what'is it that makes such a dif- ference between one woman and an- other—an IMeligible, indefinable some- thing which will make a girl of indefi- nite traits and indifferent features infinitely more attractive than many others of f.mltless features and innu- merable strong points? It is the quality popularly known as style,

"It is tho outward and visible Bigu of an inward and reserve force. Care of the body, the feet, tho complexion are ail necessary to secure this outward at- tractiveness. KUd tho expression of the face must also bo cultivated by a con- stant preference of higher thoughts over lower ones, for t"..is i< theessenceof intel- lectual living and can be secured by all.

"I wnuliVsam np tho great secrete of beauty and therefore of health." said DT. Bryson, "as follows:

"Moderation in eating and drinking; short hours of labor and study: regulari- ty in exercise and rest: cleanliness and, above all, equanimity of temper and equality of temperature. To bo good looking and to be physically well one must in genera] lie happy. To be happy is a duty, just as style is a duty, anil both tire iu a great measure an affair of Intellect and management. The ardent pursuit of good looks sums np the best there is in hygiene, and is a legitimate means of health."

• Here is something to think about. Is it not the duty of every woman to make a study of herself, discover her strong points and make the very most of them?

Education ami Ktlitrs. From tie side of religion many pro-

tests bare ben iiade against the present system of pofrnlftr education. The clergy of the different churches cannot help thinking that at least the more Impor- tant doctrines of the Christian faith should be officially taught: and tbey draw most discouraging pictures of what the moral future of the youth of this country will be if their counsel., are not heeded. All sound and success- ful moral teaching, they contend, must repose upon a basis of theology, and to confine ctaical teaching to the region of the natural is to deprive it of all war- rant, of 1 '1 authority, of all coercive power.

If these views were correct, it would be difficult to see how the weakness of out 1 school* on the moral side could ever i e remedied, for nothing is more certaitl than that any attempt to teach theology! in them would be predestined failuref The people (or some people) will pay I theology in the pulpit, but they aret wflling to pay for it iu the schools, ui have shown in most unmistakable wa that they do not want it therp. t-\ question, then, is: Shall all attempts 1 moral teaching in the public school lie1

abandoned, seeing that it cannot be ad- ministered as an adjunct of theology, or shall a brave effort lie made to giv it an Independent status of its own ai. a fair chance to show what it can at 1 complisb when conducted en purely natl ural lines?- Popular Science Monthly.

A distinguished uieiul-c-r of the Ameri- can colony of sacred dmlc-s in addition to illustrating the above mentioned prin- ciple also gave birth recently to the 1"1- lowing: "I have refrained from taking out papers as a citizen of New York lo- calise the city is so wicked and corrupt that I would not wish to 1« identified with it even as a voter. Until it has rid itMlf of an administration that is vile from top to bottom I w ill remain an alien. The entire mnuicipal machine. I believe, from Mayor Grant down, is ab- solutely corrupt.''

Right yon are, Mr. Alien, about the corruption of our city. I am not an ad- mirer of Mayor Grant, nor do I aafBTO to office under his administration, but 1 would like to make a remark or two to you concerning this utterance, which I hope you will receive iu good jiart. for 1 have no desire to be personal, but to ap- ply a general principle to a class.

KEUAKKS TO THE AMES. Is it just the thing for a man to draw

his support from a city whose citizenship he considers a disgrace? Why not dis- solve such alliance or else take the means at hand to remedy the disgrace and M the city?

Is not such a man a leach that simply draws the life blood from the body poli- tic and gives nothing in return?

Will not enough barnacles sink the greatest ship that floats?

Is it not precisely this disease that af- flicts the city today? The corrupt ele- ments have always been a minority. The trouble with ns is that we are suf- fering from Pharisaical smallpox and dude paralysis. We have now about 40,000 such "criminal loafers on the day

• of election. These apologies for men are the secret of Tammany's deadly

grip- In fact, la not the alien who lives on

the city and refuses to bear his burden as a citizen both a deserter and a traitor? I ask simply for information. Has he not deserted his own nation for a lietter field and then betrayed the solemn trust imposed by the country of his adoption?

In America the citizen is the king. No man in this nation can live a consist- ent Christiau life and betray that sacred trust. If a Christian, he BUR take an active part in politics.

THE BIBLE A HISTORY.

Ye search the fljalglBIBB because ye think that in them ye have eternal life; and ii.es.- are tbey which bear nitnewt of me; and yc will not COOK to roc, that yc may have life—John v.»,«0.

This passage of Script ur lias been given many misinterpretations. A cer- tain class of minds involved in its inter- pretation omitted the clause "yc think," which is the very clause that give* meaning to the sentence. II has been naed sometimes as a text to prove that the Scriptures contain eternal life itself. Jesus meant to say precisely the oppo- site ot this. He turned to the scribe* and said to them by way of accusation and answer: *'Ye search tho Scriptures because ye think that in them ye have eternal We—whereas it is not a fact— for these aze they which bear witness of me; and ye will not come to me, that yt may have life."

One of the burning questions concern- ing the Bible which tho modern world has asked, and which must be answered, is whether the Bible is a revelation it- self or whether it is the history of a revelation. Does the Bible contain the essence of salvation? Does the Bible •are or is it God that saves? Modern destructivo criticism has caused many who loved the Bible to shudder with fear for its future. They have resented the proc ~ss of historical criticism with vehemence, with untiring zeal, but often with little judgment.

. DKLVir,'. FLOOD! NO.IIJ! The author of "Smith's Bible Diction-

ary," for instance, secured a scholar to write the article for the dictionary an the deluge. The scholar prepared the article and sent it to the editor,-but the editCT discovered that the result of scholarship did not harmonize with the traditional theories regarding the del- uge, so he rejected tho article and en- tered in his dictionary—for the time had come for that part to go to press: "Del- uge. See Flood." This would give them time to find s, scholar who would prepare an article in harmony with tra- ditional ideas. He engaged the scholar and told him to write the article on the l

a fire swept 'he Pyreninii mountains. Tho fire consumed the vineyards, wrought great destruction. But the heat of the flames, it is said, burst open the veins of the rocks and discovered hidden treasure-.; of richest silver. Again, the legend tells us of those who sought for hidden gold njiou an island. They dug np the earth, marching for She treasure. Tbey ('.id not find the object of their aaSBECh, bnt in upturning the soil the seeds fomid lodgment and n rich harvest was born, and man found food. If the destructive methods of modern criticism rob tho world of certain tra- ditions, we may reEt assured they will DPS to the world greater treasures than those of which they have robbed ns.

Iu fact, it may be pertinent to inquire if in the past we have not made the Bible an iinreal lnx>k by unreal, conven- tional methods of interpretation. If we can come back to fact and face men. heart to heart, with the methods of common sense, in interpretation and ap- plication, we will get nearer to the se- crets of the world's motives, the world's actions, the world's life. A little giri asked her father, who was a preacher, a very pointed question once. He was telling a very large story. The little one listened with intense interest. When the story closed she said, "Is that tme, ]«ipa, or are you jnst preaching now?" All preaching that is enveloped iu a veil of conventional tradition is just so fa: removed from the real world in which men think and will and act.

Our text teaches vs that the BMt U zoiijily the Matey of the progressive rev- elation of God to man.

A l-HOUCESSIVE BXVr.LATION. First—This progress in revelation i-

clearly marked both iu the method and the matter of revelation. The Bible is nut a revelation itself. It is simply the history of a revelation. Every book of the Bible lirsl has its local paquac. its local historic setting, and has its univer- sal application of truth in and through th?t local, primal pru-ik-sc. The Book of Genesis must be read in this light. We have here an account of creation. It is simply absurd for one to maintain that it was meant for an exhaustive and com- plete utterance upon the subject for all time.

We must ask the question: "For what was the book of Genesis primarily writ- ten? To whom WM it primarily ad- dressed:--' We find it was the first les- son God taught the infant class of the human race. It was written for the pm-]«>se of this primary instruction. It t.-aches on. gtaSad thought, teaches it completely, and that thought is the 0BB God in the midst of nations that wor- shiped thon-an 1 - "f goda. The first lesaonto 1»- taasgiat was the grand con- cepii in of the 0OC, eternal, infinite God. Not only the ODB Ood, but that God im- minent in nature. God said, "Let there be light, sad there was right." That is, his breath is the law. If we say that this ace. .nut of creation is the last word and covers the whole field for all time, we claim for it more than tho liook claims for itself, and involve ourselves iu InHjtfcwi contradiction and he.i-eless c.iiifusion. This is rrecis.lv what oc- curs to those who make snch claim.

There i - a sent in the state of Texas, for I—lull l 11 't have declared that there must have lx-cii two original jiairs. There must have bean, in the beginning, two MgantfB creations of man, and they argue that otherwise it would have lieen Deo --.iry fr brother and sister to have int'.'miarried from the first pair. This of course- raise.' a problem which con- flicts with every conception of the hu- man. But it is a serious problem for him who asserts that the Book of Gen- esis give- a fnll and complete account of the origin of the hnnian race; and to the laind which understands that the Book of Genesis had its primal purpose, and that purpose was to teach the infant race the one God and his immediate touch through nature, such problems cease to be problems.

Ml'RDEB OF ISFAKTS. We notice also progress in tho idea of

God. The early races tbottgntof God simply as the Lord. This was the only name under which they knew him or spoke of him. But as they made prog- ress we find tho name Almighty occur- ring—not simply Lord, but he is the Lord whose power is limitless. Farther centuries roll on; they grow in knowl- edge of this God; they choose the name Jehovah, covenant keeping God. And when they are led out of Egypt through tho Bed sea and fed with bread from heaven they grasp tho conc.ption, tho Holy One.

There is progress in the knowledge of the attributes of God unfolded iu this revelation progressively. What a gulf separates the God of Samuel who Rive.- assent to the murder of infant -. and tin. Christ who became angry when his dis- ciples turned the children away and said, "Snffer little children to coine unto me and forbid them not, for of .such is the kingdom of heaven." There i.- cer- tainly progress from the God who is repenting and turning in the past tc the God who is the same yesterday, today and forever. There is certainly prog- ress in the knowledge of God from that conception which declared that God walked in the garden in the cool of the monimg 11 that thought of him which declares. "Eye hath not seen, nor ear h« ard; it ie impossible for a man to behold him."

Certainly there was progress from the God of Leviticns, who was particular about tho cut of the garments, the fringes and the tassels, the wash of the cups and pans, and all the paraphernalia of the priesthood and of the people, up to the God of the New Testament, whose place of worship was fcund neither in the mountains o; Samaria nor in Jerusalem, but who is spirit, and must be worshiped ir. spirit and in troth.

NOT OSACCLAB. Second—If this book then lie tho rec-

ord of a progressive revelation it cannot be a book of oracles, each sentence of which is of authority for all time. We find in fact that the Bible is no such book of oracles. It is the impartial rec- ord of tho conflict of good and evil in life. The record of the. movement of God through human life. We have tho impartial story of life told in this book. There is tho record of the liar, and the thief, and the murderer, and the trick- ster. There is the story of chicanery, of fratricido, of war, of brutality, of lost, of cruelty, of slavory, of wife capturing and polygamy. Then- is no attempt to varnish it over. There is no attempt to make a hero and a saint out of a man who bad his faults and his weaknesses. The record of a man as man lived in life is given. The movement of tho king- dom of God thus through time is given traf, to life, true to fact.

Tnere Is one fact tnat Is always on- servable in ".his record; that is, that tho fault is always tho fault of the pupil not the teacher. There is no attompt io varnish over the lio which Peter told. There is no attempt to make the apostles perfect men. We see their petty qnnr- rels with one another about precedence in the kingdom. Our Bible is tho im- partial record-of the conflict of good and evil, that man may know that good does triumph and evil brings the seeds of death and ruin. David and Jacob and Solomon lived in their own day and own time lives abovo tho standard of the'v day. Therefore were they men aftei God's own heart. In spite of all then- weakness and Bin, their faces were turned toward the right They lived by the best light they had. They were the pioneers. They knew less of God than the child of today, hut they blazed the way through the forest, they lived in log cabins and slept on the ground in the open air, while we who come after live in palaces and reap the result of their labors.

TUB MEANEST LIE. Colonel Ingcrsoll recently declared ir

Cooper union, before a crowd of unedu- cated colored people, that no negro should ever bow to the name of God, lie- cause the God of the Bible had been the ;

I God of slavery, who had upheld it \ through all the ages of the past. I do | not wish to lie personal or unkind to- ward the colonel, but that is the mean- est lie I ever heard any man utter. The man who would make such an assertion would knock the crutches from beneath a crippled wayfarer in a crowded thor- oughfare without a tear or a moment's hesitation. Whenever a nation is to be enslaved, it is necessary *» fir*1 Pnt 'r,,n

clamps on tho lids of the Bible. When- ever the subject of slavery is touched in the Bible, it is always in tho benefit of the slave. Whenever the subject of any man's sins and weaknesses is touched in the law or the prophets. God speaks the word in behalf of weakness and those who are oppressed, and points forward to the day of deliverance. In times of ignoraavo he sometimes overlooked men's fanits; but in the fullness of time he call.- upon all for repentance.

To deny the hisloric setting of the Bible is to stultify tho book and involve ourselves in hopeless contradictions. If we say that the Bible is a liook of oracles and has no historic setting, we have at once onr license for taking a sentence from the Bible and making a spear of it with which to gibliet our enemies. This has been a favorite pasiime of many theologians in the past, and this was the point of view of the young theologian who took the text, "Enoch was not." He took that' -not"' and sharpened it nn til he could run it through all his opi>ou- i at-. He said Enoch was not a Metho- dist, becaase he did not believe in fall- ing from grace. He was not a Presby- terian, because he did not have any WestininstiT confession of faith. He was not an Episcopalian. l>ecauso he did not believe in ceremony. He was not a Universalist, because he did believe in a hell. He was not a Baptist, because he did not believe in much water. Enoch was a Congregationalist, because he walked with God The young man was of course a Congregationalist.

SCPEKLATTVE XOSSENSE. If the Bible is snch a collection of

oracles, such a process of exposition is legitimate. If it has its historic setting, such a process is superlative nonsense. Being a progressive revelation, and not a book ol otacles of equal authority, we cainnol tear from its historic setting a text in Gene=is or Isaiah and attach it to n - itence from an epistlo in the New Y. .-.■;-.:.ie:t, and on these two build a scheme of theology. Lot us try it. Take a sentence from Genesis, "It is not good for a man to be alone;" attach it to a sentence from Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, "But I say to the unmar- ried and to widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I." Which will you believe? How can yon reconcile two such statements, if yon have a liook of oracles, of equal authority in all time, iu all ages? Take another illustration, take Numbers xv, 32-36:

AnO while the children of Israel were In the wilderness, they found a man that gatheiel sticks upon the St.lil.ath clay.

And they that fonnd him cnthcrinc stic-fca hrouci.t him in.to MOMS and Aaruo. and unto all the UHtaieaal inn.

And they i nt Mat In ward, ticcanse it aas not declared wlia- should be done to ate.

And the Lori -old unto HonBi Tho mas Shall 1 e surely pui to death: all tho OMgKSB- tion B'lall filoa© uim wiih stones without the camp.

And all ihe coagragailoa breaaM ate with- cal tl.c camp, and stoned him with blonos. and ho died; us the I/jnl commanded Moses.

What would Jesus Christ have said to this? Let us see. Turn to John viii, S-ll.

And the scni.es nn.l rbari-ce-s t.rinu a wom- nn taken in adultery: and having set her in the mid.st, they say natn him. Master, this wom&n hath baa* taken in adnltery. in the very'act. Now in las law Moses ecinniiauacd us to stone such: n-hattiieo snyest ti.cmc.f Ketf And this th-.. said, t.-iiiptia^ him, that tbey iniubt have -thereof to nccev him. liut Jesos stooped dou-n. and with hi* fuiKcr wrote en the llll—rt Bat vvlun they continued .-.skins him, he lifted np himself, and said unto them. Ho that is without siu ainor.R you. let Mm first cast a stone at her. And i.i:aiu ho sloojied down, and wlih MsteasrsRi te on the ground. And tb.y. when they hearil il, went out onu by one. beifinnins from the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus w;is I 't alone, anil the woman, where she was, in t i • mi.lat. And Je- sus lifted up himself, nn 1 sa,.i unto her. 1V..BV on, where an tboyf old n . man condemn thee? And abe said, >'»> nis-. I...rd. And Je- sus said. Neither do I .nil- nu thee; go thy way; from htaceforth ia no a-orc.

Oh, what n gulf separates these two incidents! What .■ jji f between the conception of God w.lie' could stone c man to death for inciting up sticks on the Sabbath day and the God who sr.id to the woman taken in 8~tn, "Neither do 1 coudemn thee; go anO sin no more." Which of these coutai-is the truth of God's nature? Thty cannot both ho oracular utterances gold for all time. Try another cotnuiihitio-i: 1 Kings xi. 3. "And Solomon had IWM hundred wives:" Luke vi, 18, "Do ye also like- wise." Combine those two passages of Scripture .-.ml you bare the code of tho Mormon world. It will not work.

CLIMAX OF OOD'S RKVELATIOS. That is to say, the test of all progres-

sive revelation is tho end of the revela- tion, not the process. Thcremay be im- perfections and incompleteness of n^ces- eity in the process; but the test must be sought in tiie end, not tho process. The question is, What U the result of Ihis revelation, which extended over i.OOO years of time? Does it tend to make slaves, docs it corrnpt men, or docs it purify, ennoble, strengthen, save? Sup- pose I want to investigate the spirit of tho civilization of the city of New York. I want to see whether New York is a fit place in which to live. Tho fol- lowing advertisement I read, which ap- peared in a New York ne..~8paper:

Just arrive, from Great Britain, and ire to bo sold on hocrd tho ship Alice and Elizabeth. Captain I'a* ..-. ComroaDcler. several likely Welsh and EoAiJsh Servant Hen, most of tlie.ru Tradesmen. Whoever inclines to purchase any of them may agree with said Commander or Mr. Thomas Noble, Merchant, at Mr. Hazard's, In Sew York, where also U to be told severs; Negro ('iris and a Negro Boy, and likewaw good Cheshire cheese.

I read' this advertisement in a New York newspaper, and I say that is all I want to know about New York. A city in which men and women are sold on tho block along with Cheshire cheese as n commodity is certainly the embodi- ment of barbarism and cruelty. It is rot a fit place for a Christian to live. 1 deuourre and curse flie whole, city of New York, and charge the city with being the rendezvous of slave traders and its JWIIIII as tte ajmaaun of

• is its !aken

numanrry. am tne xroume witn tnat conclusion is that there is a date to that advertisement, and the date it bears is September 4, 1788. The date ▼ertisement gives the key to tion. My conclusion is wido cause I have .lost the sense of historic sotting. Snch is the condition of the man who charges the God of tho Bible with responsibility for slavery.

Let ns remember these facts: First—The morality of the Bil !

final morality. The book must b thus as a whole. That final mor iity is tho morality of Christ, who was the cli- max of God's revelation.

Second—That eternal life is found not in tho Bible itself, but in the Christ which the Bible reveals.

Third—That the Bible, and the Bible alone, is the religion of Protestants sim- ply and only liecause the Bible reveals .1 eatis Christ the incarnate word.

Fourth—The character of revc 1 vtiou must lie judged by the results th: L flow from the revelation.
