‘ The Name In the Sand.”

Alono I walked tbe oeenn strand,A pearly rivoU was In my band ,I stooped nnd wrote upon the Band

My name, tlio year the day.As onward from the spot I passed,Ono lingering look behind I east;A wavo came, roll Ing high and fast,

And wnshed my Hues away.

And so inothought 'tw ill shortly bo With every m ark on earth from m e ;A wave o f dark oblivious sea

Will SAeep across tho placo W here I hnvo trod the sandy shore Of lime, and been to bo no more,Of me—my day—tho name I bore,

To leave no track nor trace,

And yet with him who counts the sands. And holds tho waters in his hands,I know a lasting record stands

Inscribed against iny namo,OT all th is mortal part has w ro u g h t;Of all th is th inking soul has th o u g h t; And al. these fleeting m oments caught,

For glory or for shame.

I desire to submit to your readers an account of ft recent meeting of t|ie Central W. ,C. T. U. of Philadelphia. There are meetings and meetings. This wns cer-

, thinly exceptional. I t Is. the habit of the ; above organization to hold devotional meet­ings every Monday afternoon in the parlor of St. George’s Hall. On the above occa­sion Airs. Capt. Kelso - Carter led, and her subject Was “ Palms.” Referring to the, use of these in the Jewish economy, also the fact that the palm is a significant type of whnt is meant by the analogy of the palm In the Christian life, and emphasizing.the, fact that It was the privilege of a Chris-, tiaiito praise God whilst going through the fires, concluded by -asking how many present could praiso God in trial, to which- n lady responded, “I can!” and then witli

* liter kedwm ion- proceeded to say thut sev­eral years since Bhecame into tliis meeting sorely burdened. Through business fail­ures her husband Imd been obliged to take a conductorsliip upon a horso railway, and tliis mado her practically acquainted with, the long hours and tho serious evils result­ing from the same, of those similarly em­ployed. She was wonderfully oxereised in the mutter nnd came to request prayers for the shortening of tho hours as well as to ask the ladies to use voice aud pen to bring about tho reform. Alluding to this time, she said there was such bitterness in her heart .that (to use her own words) she cursed all concerned in tlie management of the road. She gnvo a graphic account of the effect of the. enforced absence from wife imd child on conductor nnd driver, aud inducements to drink consequent upon irregular habits. Now she came to thank God for answered prayer in the reduction of hours, &c. Illustrating the fact that one good work is the precursor of another, she said: “ Through this experience I was induced to labor among these same men in the. work of Gospel teu^eranco, and in in concluding said my cup is so full that when entirely alone I find myself praising God aloud for answered prayer, nnd that lie ever gave me a trial which at the time seemed an unmitigated misfortune.”

A sister followed the above, saying that owing to a strike she was thrown out of work, and that as sho was the bread winner for n family of fiVe it was indeed a serious mutter. She looked very young to lmve such a burden and explained by stating that her father beinga confirmed drunkard, tho support of her little sisters nnd broth­ers devolved upon her. Succeeding this sister a liuly bearing on her purson the evidences of great respectability requested, with voice choking with sobs, that we pray for her sister, the mother of a lovely fam­ily o f children, who was throwing herself away, body aud soul, by strong drink.

In view of the'above, and a bust of sim­ilar instances; how we long that an apa­thetic public might have the object les­sons constantly confronting the earnest temperance • worker upon tho gigantic crime of crimes, the legalizing of the liquor tralllc, aud see-with tho stern logic of facts that the evil incldeut to the drink custom is by no means confined to the .drinker, and that inasmuch as there is said to lio ono million of drunkards in tlie United States, and assuming thut on an average four other persons aro affected directly w otherwise by ouch of theso, you havo .no n'g gregato of five millions of peo­plo .iu tills highly civilized and Christian age affected by the drink boudagc, aud how sorlously God alono knows.

‘‘ Tha Highways and Hedges."T1Y E. DUNCAN AN I KEEN.

The Berachnli Mission, 405 and 407 East 2flth street, New York, which was started by Mr. and Mrs. Heiiry Naylor about six months ago; is situated in one of the most thickly settled, poverty stricken: and tie- praved portions of the City—very; much like Five Points or Water street of a few years ago. Tlie location is given the very suggestive name of “ Hell’s Kitchen.” I t swarms with thieves, ex conviets, drunk­ards and depraved women of the worst type, Meetings are held every evening except Saturday. The average /attend-, imee is two hundred and fifty, but many nights there are over four hundred mostly men and . women of the lowest typo.. Converts’ Meeting Sunday morning at eleven o’clock, The Sabbath-school now numbers upwards of one hundred and fifty. - •

A man who lias been a drunkard for twenty years, was brought to the Lord, by the Iloly Ghost bringing home to . his heart the text read nt Ids mother’s funeral —a lioly woman who .claimed Ids couver- slon before she died. Truly lie was .a brand plucked from the burning.

A young man from a neighboring city, just out from serving his term In prison, gave his heart to the Lord, and his first thought was a wish to see ids dear mother who never failed to pray for iier wander­ing boy;

At the commencement there were only a few slngdrs, and prayer was offered for more. In a few evenings there cnine into the Mission a gentleman lmrdly able to walki so fur was he gone from consump­tion. Physicians had prouounced his case incurable. IIo was pointed . to Jesus as the Healer .of his body; In one week his clear tenor voice was ringingthrough the Mission, a pleasure to a ll; nnd ids heartyPraise the Lord ” is always heard in the

after meeting.One stormy night, a man came—showed

plainly tliat lie had seen different ways; but the devil now had complete control of him through strong ilripk. In days long gone by lie had stood high in tlie organi­zation of Good Templarsund Sons of Tem­perance. but ho who had administered the pledge to many, found himself powerless to keep It. That night li e took Jesus1 to save hint and to-keep hlm. He had been a singer in a fashionable church, but his voice was nover so clear nnd sweet as since he lias found Christ a Saviour and Keeper. . - . . .

A minister’s son, who said that from a little boy his mother hud claimed of God Ids following in ills father’s footsteps, will now; by the Grace of God, do. so. ; i v

A young mnn addicted to the u se . of opium and liquor, was converted; but his blood had become so poisoned from the excessive use of this drug and stimulants, that lie was taken to the Ilahnemuh Hos­pital. lie prayed the surgeons to take off Ids arm. They refused; .said that he would die any way; that nothing could save his life . Finally, they consented; At the time, prayer was being offered for him that lie might recover aud become ii worker in the Mission. The attend leg surgeon afterward said tlmt it-was;a mira­cle he lived, as was aftewards published in a leading monthly, medical journal. The young man says, that the devil over-; shot his mark this time; and although the devil got his arm, The Lord got Ills body. He is now attending college, fitting him­self for a Missionary.

Two men, after their conversion, brought women to the Mission and were married, thus making right, as far as thoir power lay, tho post life of sin, ’ .

But these are some of tlie pleasant cases. There are ' many that-are so har­dened, that if tlie workers; did not cling very close -to the dear . Master,' and . Ilis promises', Satan would discourage; men so callous as to curse God; those who have never heard of a Saviour and have to be taught aa little children ; those imbued with nil of Ingersoll’s teaching, moralists, back-sliders, and those having a form of. godliness, but denying the power thereof; young men whoso families ure moving in fashionable society, here and in neighbor­ing cities—for drink brings all classes to the sumo level.

Ono man who had once been well known in this city, was found by one of the.workers frozen to a snow bank, In a lumber yard down the river, Ho Imd not drawn a sober breath for years, aiid it hud been days sinco partaking of a : proper meal. But, Glory to God, ho is to-day clothed in his right mind, i i sober and a handsome man. *

During the sevore cold weather, thesuf- ferlug In this district lm's been appalling. When'one had seen tho extravagance of New York, and it is known thoroare.so

mnny families suffering—one family, a mother'nnd two ‘sickly children has had no stove this winter; a poor woman witli five children, ahout to he turned out of doors because lier rent Is due, she being without tlie money, and sick in bed with consump­tion—the cry goes out • “ How long, 0 Lord, how long?!*. • ;

The Mission lias given out soup twice a week ; provided rooin for the homeless, and employment for those out of work,

Tlie Mission is purely evangelical, un­denominational, and has but one aim, to win souls for Jesus. Our readers will find a cordial welcome and a blessing there, any time thoy may call.

Sunshine and Clouds.BY NICHOLAS KNIGO, A DANISH BISHOP, WHO DIED

IN 1703. '

Sorrojv and gladness together go wending ;Evil and good come In quick Intcrcbungo;

Fair and foul fortune forever arc b len d in g ; Sunshine and clouds have th e skies for th e ir

ran g e ;Gold of earth 's day,

• Is but splendid clay—Alone heaven’s happiness lasteth for aye.

Everything here h a th tbe germ of decay in i t : Everyone findetli some g ric fin his breast;

And soon Is the bosom, tho 'jew els m ay blaze on it, Filled full of sorrow and secret u n rest;

■ Each has its own,Known or u n k n o w n ; .

Heaven from woe Is exem pted atone.

Sharp thorns g na td the rose in which roost thou delighted,

• And the deadlier the poison the fairer th e Hower. The heart may be crushed while tho cheek la the.

. brightest,And fortune otl changes her t id e In an h o u r ;

'Mid numberless woes Tho stream Of life ilowB;

Heaven alone steadfast happiness knows.

Oh, th en lot my lot nnd m y life be appointed,Just as my Lord an d m y God sccth m e e t ;

I f the wicked go on still, for evil a n n o ln te d ;And the world have its way till th e end la com­

pleteTim e’s tree w ill cast Its leaves on th e blast,

And heaven m ake everything right a t the last.

Is every way entirely contented ? if you look into the letter you will find atf ans­wer; “ As for me, I will behold, thy• face In righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness,” “Whom have I in heaven hut Thee ; and there-is none upon earth that I desire besides Thee.” Psn. 17:15; 73: 25. •. i Would you ask whether she still thinks of- husband;' sister, friends?;. Oh yes, for poor lost Diyes did as much as tliat! i Would you know whether she watches

over your progress, in the. Christian life? You will find an answer: “ Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud 6 f witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, und the sin which dpth easily, beset us, nnd let us run with patience tho race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author und finisher of our faith.” Ifeb. 12 : 1 , 2 .

."Perhaps you ask whether, so changed, nhd so far away, there are any longer ppints of sympathy between you. Yes; whenever you feel like singing, “ Hallelu­jah, for the Lord God omnipotent reign- eth,” her heart and her song blend again with yours.

Whenever you rejoice over new con- v^rta'coming to Jesus, you know she is

pic ing with you. . . \ ;,; • ■;.tfovit not’ a pleasant thought that; one

remains to us of adding to tlm happi­ness of departed friends In Christ? And that is, by laboring for the salvation of souls, muTfor the honor of Him they de­light to praise.

Onr Departed.A friend of ours, mourning for Ids be­

loved companion, whom he recently saw consigned to the grave, received a copy of the following, in the form of a printed leaflet published by the American Tract Society.; Its appropriateness 'will be per- cieveil at a glance, und we roprint it here that others in bereavement may derive from its perusal tlie comfort its blessed as­surances are so well calculated to impart:

Perhaps you are ready to suy, “Oh tlmt I could only hear from her once more.” Mount up on the wings of Faith and you shall see her, and hear froni her, every day. Site writes you no letters now, but iu that beautiful letter.'w liich her God and our God has written, special mention is made of our departed ones. Yes, you can hear from her every day by tlie letter.

I was looking in it tliis morning, and found that she was well and happy: “Therefore me they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his tem p le a n d lie tliat. sitteth on the throne shall dwell among thein. TUdy shall h um ger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall: the, sun light on them, nor any heat; for the Lamb which is in the midst of the. throne -sliall feed them, and shall lead Them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears froni their eyes.” Rev, 7 : 1517, and see chapter 14; i 3. ' . .-v

I saw also that she had glorious com- panlpns, even an ihiiimierable companyT)f angels. Ileb. 12: 22 .

I ascertained, also, that she had not shed a tear, o r 'fe lt a jiain, or seen a dark hour, or known amoment's weariness, and she was assured, by the Lord of the place that she never should. “ And God shall wipe away nil tears from their eyes * and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor ’crying, neither shall there be any more y.ain: for the-former things are passed away.” - “And there shall be no night, there; nnd they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God glveth them light: and they shall reign for ever anil ever.” Rev. 21:4; 22:5.

She .was learning “a now song,” wliich no one cun learn save those “who aro redeemed from the earth.” She sang

unto him who hath loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God.” Rev. 1:5,0.

There was an attempt to describe her happiness, but lauguuge broke down under It, for it was “ unspeakable; and full' of. glory.” The letter’.spoke of “ rest,” “ ful­ness of joy,” “pleasures for evermore;” “a far more excecdiug and eternal weight of glory," but altogether beyond the high est conceptions. 1 Cor. 2:0.

Would you inquire whether, in a state so new, so dazzling, so fur from dear ones hitherto so esseutinl to her happiness, she

The Gentiles Received.I1Y MKS. M. K. CARMICHAEL.

(Acts 10: 3-1-48.)Peter, the earnest, the zealous, and hence

so often the impetuous, needed u lesson In charity toward the Gentiles who were con­verted, and God taught.it so tliorougly that lie was fully convinced of Ids error In denying these Gentiles tlie rites of the fellrlstian Church because they were not Jews born- It shows.us the great preju­dice often felt against strangers, or those born out of our own country, or not of our own blood. God makes no such distinc­tions. lie created nil, and loves all alike. No petty partiality ever, stirs tlie great throbbing, loving heart of our Father; and hence when lie sees us stand off in criti­cism or hursb judgment of each other, He cunnot be pleased, but would lmve us all cling together in ties of kindness, if no.tof actual friendship or closer bonds... In our present subject He sent un angel to convince.this fervid new disciple of in. tolerance, and Peter .bravely tried to undo his prejudice, uttering strcmgy ' beautiful words that thrilled; tlie; earnest listeners, and after the glowing tide of eloquence had ceased, the blessed Third iu the Trin ity—the Holy Ghost—fell on all, Gentiles and Jews, with blazing power and inspired utterances in foreign tongues, praising God so that- all around, heard them, and Peter candidly acknowledged The. fact, tliat, as they having'been blessed with tlie Holy Spirit, as powerfully as themselves, and the fruits quite, iis apparent, were worthy of the ordinance of- baptism, and therefore could not be rightly excluded, he baptized them in the nanje of the Lord We learn two lessons here-Llst; To listen to God’s voice in teaching us to love and receive earnestly inquiring souls into our synipathies. 2d, To believe that all sincere seekers after God, no inatter what .their name, state, country, birth or education may be, or religious training has been, have most assuredly the same chance of salvation as ourselves.

Economy.One of the hardest lessons in life for

young people to lenrn is to practice econ­omy. It ls u harder duty for a young man to accumulate and save Ids first thousand dollars than Ids next ten thousand. A man can be economical without being mean, and it is one of his most sol emu duties to lay up sufficient in his days of strength and prospeuty to provide for himself and those who are or may be dependent upon him in days of sickness or misfortuue. Extravagauce is one of the greatest evils of the present age. It is undermining and overturningthe loftiest and best principles that should be retained nnd held sacred in society. It is annually sending thousands of young meu anil young women to ruin and misfortune.

Cultivate, then, sober and industrious habits; acquire the art of putting, a little aside every day for your future neeessi. ties; avoid all unnecessary and foolish expenditures. Spend your time only in such a manner as shall bring you profit and enjoyment, uud your mouey for such things as you actually need for your com­fort uud happiness, and you will prosper in your lives, your business, and will win and retain tlio respect and honur of all worthy and substantial people. ’

• Sixty-two Again. ■M il E d ito r :-7-Tbe excellent “ birthday”

poem, by Dr. Stokes, in: last week’s Rec­o rd was a reminder of my own age, tind suggested the following lines, which are at your disposal for e ither publication or,the wuste-biiflket,. . N. V.vnsant.

Chatham, N . A p r i l 12,1886.1 lb ink—how passing strange H seems,

T ill youth and later m anhood spent,I .now count sixty-two.

But must I w rite o f all these years, ’. “ Evil alone and few ?”-Praise God ! far more of smiles th an tears

•Cultivation of the Mind,Of nil the noble works of God, that of

the human soul has ever, been considered the greatest. It is, however; like all else created, capable of cultivation, and just in tlmt degree as the mind is improved and rendered pure, is man fitted for ration, al enjoyment and pure happiness.

Tliat person who spends it whole exist­ence without a realization of the great ends for which he is designed, without feeling •a souring of the soul above mere mercen­arymotives and desires, not knowing tlmt he is a portion, as It were, of one vast ma­chine, in which each * piece has a part to perform, having no lieart beating in com mon with those of Ids fellrnv men, no feel­ings lu which self is not the beginning and the end, may well be said not to live. Hi-suiiind is shut in by a moral darkness, and ho merely exists, a blank in tho world, nud goes to the tomb with scarcely a regret.

Such beings we 1)ave seen aud wonder­ed at—wondered that a mortal, endowed with so many uoble qualities, and capable of the highest attainments of intellectual­ity, should slumber on through a world like ours, in ’whlch is everything beautiful and sublime to cull forth his energies and excite Ids admiration—a world wliich affords subjects for exercising every lively attribute with which we are gifted, and opens a scene of the richest variety to the eye, the mind, and tlie heart, and of such a diversified character that we may never grow weary!

If then, you would wish to live in tlie true sense of the term, cultivate the liiinii, give free vent to pure affeotious and noble feelings, nud pen not every thought and desire in self. Live more for the good of your fellow men, and in seeking their linp piiiosg you will proihote your own.

Going to E s a v o n —A Parable.The kingdom of heaven is like unto a

chieftain, who called his clan together and said, “ Come.let us go and seek a good­ly land which lietli beyond the hills.”. And they all with one accord’replied, “ Be It according to thy word; we will arise and follow thee!” Now it came to pass thut the way was exceeding long, and the hills were steep and stony. Moreover the sun dhl pour down much heat, insomuch thut many were prone to creep into the shad ows of rocks and trees. And some there were who spoke against their leader, and said Im did not wisely and well to take them ou such a journey.. So before many days the ranks were thinned by reason of the wandering, away, and the.falling be- hiud, and the going clear buck on the part of many who once were foremost J n tlie march.;,. Then was the heart of the leader grieved, and lie said to his faithful ones, “ Will ye. also go away backward?” Ami they-an­swered him by rallying around him, and obeying his commands; and in times of danger they stood up, staunch and strong. And, behold, .the ' land was fair to look upon; the harvests .were plenteous and the fruits . were pleasant to tlie taste. But many failed to enter in.

There be many that start for heaven, but their hearts are like wax which melts at any heat. There be others that are bravo nnd stout of lieart while their com­panions falter by the way; but when any Flight Is given, or their pride is touched, then do they like Peter, follow their Lord afar off; and while they pout and fret they are tempted to deny Ills name. And others still there be whose spirits, once aglow with heavenly lovo, are chilled by. coutact with the sinful world. But who. soever shall endure to the end shall he saved.•

Our (lying Lord doth cull for followers. Now therefore, O ye sons and daughters of men, obey his voice; be desperately de­termined to keep near Ills side; let love leap up with joy to do His bidding!.“ My soul, don 't d e lay ; He nails thee away ;Rise, follow tby Saviour, anil bless tb eg ln u day I"

The Eclipse of tha Soul.The moon in an eclipse complained to

the sun: “ Why, 0 my dearest friend, dost thou not shine upon me as usual?”

“ Do I not?’-’ said tlie sun. “ I am sure I am shining as-I always do. Why do you not enjoy my light as usual ?”

“Oh, I see,” said the moon, “ the.earth has got between us.”

“ Why, oh Saviour,” says.the backsliding Christian, “do I not as in former days, walk in the light of Thy countenance?”

“ I urn sure, troubled soul, I have not changed. The rays of my love are as : warm and bright as ever; wliat can pre­vent them from reaching tii'ee?”

We know a minister who was generally able to keep his congregation wide awake, but Who, on one occasion—it was.-a sultry Summer day—observed numbers of them asleep. He resolved to nip the practice in the biul, so taking a good survey of tlie scene before him, he exclaimed: “ I saw an advertisement last week for' 500 sleepers for a railroad: L tltink I could supply nt jenst'fifty, nnd recommend them as good and sound.” It is (lerhaps-needless to add that the supply Instautiy vanished.

It is it sublime spectacle, that of a noble- henrted woman, left a widow, with depen. dent children, struggling against the frowns of fate, rearing up her off-spring with sound principles, teaching them <am rect rules of life, and covering them against tlie world’s harms; as a lien covers 1 iier brood with her wings. It is one of the most touching features of human life

“Do not he discouraged because you have uo great virtues. God made a mil­lion spears of grass when lift made one tree. The earth is fringed , and carpeted, not with forest®, hut with ‘ grasses. Only have enough of little virtues andVonnmm fidelities, ami you need not mourn because you are neither a hero nor a saint."

Pareuts aud teachers do well who teach their children and pupils to aim high, to be first in moral and literary excellence, ami to he foremost in solid acquisitions. They may not reach die most advanced rank, but they will be among the leading spirits of their time. -

The Itible tells us of tlie streams that it may allure us to the fountain; it tells us of 'the past'aets of God’s faithful love that we may be assured that He who hath helped will help, nnd that He who hath loved will love unto the end.

■, Eastsr.By a rare conjunction of circumstances

tlds great Christian festival occurs about one calendar month later this year than for a long time past,or is likely to happen for at least two generations in the future. Disassociated, with extravagant, follies and ritualistic sentimentalism, which merely amuses tlie nominal votary of religion, its lesson Is tlie .sublime fact oF Christ's res- urrectlon from the dead, and tlie symbol­ism of the season—budding life, blooming dowers, vernal exuberance, all come in as suggestive helps to illustrate the doctrine of life after death.

No other truth of tho Scriptures is so prominently emphasized by the early evan­gelists and apostles as tlio single fact that lie who was"* crucified, dead and burled,” rose again, and the miracle of his resur­rection is made tlio keystone of a mighty arch, spanning the whole system of the Divine revelation, and continuing its super­natural verity. -

The incarnation has its own peculiar his­tory imd world-wide expression of “ good­will;” hut it Is nt the open sepulchre, the empty grave on the morning of tlie thirtl day after the tragedy of Calvary, h pm aid tv realizes its Lord ami Saviour, a divine, all- conquering ami mighty deliverer. Faster day is jubilee of a world sold under sin and subject to death-*n death as dark and hopeless as tiie imagination can portray, aside from the “life and immortality” which becomes its purchased heritage through tlie atonement, sealed by the res. urrectlon.

One of the fancies relating to Easter Sunday morning, which lias found its foot­hold in tradition and poetry, is, that, its rising.sun dances for joy; but it is the heart, properly affected, which really pul­sates under tlie glorious fulfilment of all prophecy and promise, in the aunoimce- meat, “ lie is risen!” .

In celebration of an event so fraught with good to man, the very Sabbath itself becomes a weekly witness, and more than any other in the calendar-of timo is appro­priately “tlie Lord's Day.” Let its anthems swell and its. sermons repeat the old, old story, ” Because 1 live, ye shall live also.” All power in heaven and earth Is given to this conquering Christ and reigning. King, and lie is able to save to the uttermost all who come unto God by him.

In the abuse of festal -seasons like this the frivolous.and wicked deny the Lord that bought them aiid turn iiis glory iuto occasions of dissipation nnd reckless unbe­lief. “Lent,” so called, becomes a huge mockery when it merely restrains the “ best society” for 11 time, to heighten ex­cess afterward, and almost totally ignore the claims of that self-denial and personal allegiance to Christ, without which the nominal Christian is only a semi-pagan.

That tlio.world, even iu this advanced age of intelligence and activity, is still far from God; and but.little faith is found 011 the earth—-some wheat in tiie abounding chaiT, is ail urgent motive to labor, pray and wait for that universal turning from sin to holiness which is tlie desire of tlie good und tlio purpose of the great-Re­deemer. .

Spring’s Advent.Dear Recoiiu—To (tie residents of the

Grove the recollections of our long and sometimes dreary winter are fading out of ndtid, as we hour the blue bird’s note and find the robins once more singing their morning songs in their accustomed trees.

Verdure lias-covered the barren ground, and within a few days the buds aud blos­soms assert tlie fact'that Spring with its "ethereal mildness” has returned.!

With its coming, the faces of old friends aiul new begin* to appear on our streets ami avenues. Some .have spent, the Win­ter months away in sunny climes, imd oth­ers in tlie active centres .of cities, more adjacent. Strangers may lie recognized by their agreeably surprised expression, as they take their’first promenade around the Grove.

This is tlie season of preparation. The new buildings! width have been jn pro­gress, are now being hurried through to completion.. The painter Is everywhere, and hotels and cottages under his deft hand, sldm* with ail the lueiidid beauties of the rainbow. New sidewalks are being laid, and to winter.residents this is.u bless­ing which all appreciate.

The demand on oiir plumbers grows more and more urgent, for people, it seems, must have the sparkling, healthful Artesian water. Association workmen are all busy; some along tlie Ocean front, some laying pipe, and others with rake and hoe, cleaning the accumulated leaves and rubbish of Winter from the. parks and public grounds.

The real estate agents limy -be encoun­tered hastening to and fro, showing cotta­ges and concluding bargains every day with those who purpose to spend the Summer months at Ocean Grove. •

Our fruit nnd vegetable stands, meat markets, milk wagons, and the tribe of truckmen shmv signs of life, and expect to be all ready ns the.population increases week after week. *

The once beautiful Ocean front, with its tasty pavilions and expansive board walk,-remains a picture of wreck and des­olation, but huge engines' are driving pil­ing, and busy workmen are straining every nerve to lmve everything repaired and In better shape’ than before, for tlie comfort

nnd convenience of our expected thous­ands during the approachingRummer.

D. P . P.From Washington.

A plain frame structure stands on tlie southeast corner of Fifteenth nnd I t streets N. W. It was formerly the cimpol known ns Ilamllne, hut when tho handsome church of tlmt mime,was built, Rov. D r..J . N. Green and Mr. Edward Owen purchased the chapel and had it transferred to its present location. Mrs. Owen begged tlmt the new church might be called Mount Zion,” and Her wish was compiled with. Tho church is small and tho membership and congregation are far from being wealthy, but one of the most prominent members of tlie Baltimore Conference Is reported as saying he would not object to being sent tliere, *' iis tlmt is the church of tlio future In Washington Methodism.” Possibly lie is correct in his prophecy, as the rapid improvement of the neighbor­hood and the erection of whole squares of line dwollings may soon necessitate tlie building of another and larger house of worship. Tlie recent Conference sent to tlds charge one of its most scholarly men, Rev. John II. Dosldell, D.l). On Sunday, litli inst., Dr. Doshiell preached a logical discourse on the observance of the Sab­bath, proving clearly that as ” the Sabbath was made for man,” man is in absolute need of tlie rest it brings. The attendance was good, the presence of a large propor­tion of young men being especially note worthy. ’ At the-close-of the service 11 prominent member Of tlie church, sta tinned at the door, gave to each one going out a cordial greeting and warm clasp of the hand, and strangers were invited; to come again. How can such a church fall to grow ?

In compliance with expressed wishes of tlie people, Rev. W. T. L. Weech was ap­pointed to Grace, on. Ninth street corner of .S street. To show their high appreciation of their new pastor, a "donation party” was given to him one evening last week and substantial tokens'of regard were pre­sented. A debt of about $7,000 oppresses tlds society, and the proximity. of nnm* line-on ly three or four squares distant— possibly renders the membership and con­gregation.smaller tlmn they would other­wise be. The improvement of the city In that direction will probably Insure the growth of Grace M. E. Church. Mr. Weech has already made one complete round of pastoral calls and seems well pleased with ids new Held of labor.

In a violent storm, about two months since, Rev. French S. Evans, well known to Methodists iu tlie vicinity of Baltimore and Washington, was blown down, and when raised was for some minutes thought to be dead. He was not, however, but has since been seriously ill ut his residence in this city. Mr. Evans is more than 85 years of age, and the statement is made that for nearly 70 years lie has. been an ordained minister of the M. E. Church, bis popu­larity being such that at one time he was mentioned iu connection with Episcopal dignities. Ilis first wife wus u sister of the famous beauty, Mrs. General Eaton. Presi­dent Jackson appointed him to an official position in Washington, and even now lie is enrolled as a clerk in the Dead Letter Office. Such lias been his activity that visitors to that office have been amazed on learning bis age, supposing him under 70.

The recent'session of tlie Maryland Con­ference of the M. P. Church made: no changes in Washington. Rev. Dr. Mills has returned and yesterday occupied his pulpit at tlie Niuth Street M. E. Church, preach ing’ an earnest, helpful sermon on the Church being " the members of the body of Christ,” the Spirit of Christ ani­mating tlio whole, iis the spirit of a man vivifies the humun body.

Rev. T. S. Hamlin, of Cincinnati, has accepted a call to the pastorate of tlie Church of the Covenant (Presbyterian), to tlie great pleusureof the membership, who now confidently expect to erect their main building very soon, on the lot on the cor­ner of Connecticut avenue and N-streot. ;

Rev. J .P . Newman, D.D., is announced to lecture each evening this week at 7:30 and on Good Friday at 3 i \ M., on “Tho words and walks of Jesus durlug the.last six days of his life 011 earth.” Tlio Meth­od is t!’Im re lies are observing Good Friday to an unusual degree this year, At Foun­dry tliere will be service and tiie Ivnlghts Templar will attend iu a body. ..

April JS, m ii. ' C. M. B.Millinery at this, particular juncture of

the season is tlio great specialty at Henry Hteiubach’s palatial brick store. Trade has its laws, and obedient to tlie social demand, these days display all tlio novelties of fem­inine adornment. It is a favor which the ladies duly appreciate, to find everything of this character in a department to itself, and sufficiently private to enable them to give tlielr whole mimls to such au import­ant subject as tlie shape and trimmings of a modern Spring hut. Until sundown on Saturday we suppose tlie rush will con­tinue, and then begin again nfcxt week. Of one tiling the public cun rest satisfied,.and that is, every varying taste can be suited aud every want supplied nt this millinery emporium.

Mr. Frank X. Gall, agent for tiie popu­lar volumes containing tho life of General Grant, announces tlmt the second volume will be delivered to all his subscribers about the last of this month. .

Talmago on the Newspaper.In iiis Sunday morning sermon of April

11, Dr. Tulmnge's theme wns '* Tho Trials of tlie Newspaper Profession,” and tho appropriate text wns Zecli, 5:1, “ Behold a flying roil.”

Prefacing tlie sermon, the popular Brooklyn preacher expressed his appreci­ation of what the press had done for him, giving him perpetual audience in every city, town and neighborhood ib Christen­dom.

The newspaper, lie continued, is the great educator of the nineteenth century There Is 110 force compared with it. It Is book, pulpit, platform, forming all in one. And there, is not an interest—religious, literary, commercial, scientific, agricul­tural or mechanical—tlmt is not within its grasp. All our churches, aud schools, and colleges, and asylums, nnd art galleries, feel the quaking of tlio printing-press.

To the .increase and freedom of the newspaper press he ascribes tlio world’s advance—a capacity to talk about all themes, secular and religious, general acquaintance with science and art, and tlie power to ^appreciate* tlie beautiful, aiul grand.

Next to the Bible is to be regarded the newspaper, swift-winged and everywhere present, flying over the fences, shoved under tho door, tossed into the counting house, laid on the work bench, hawked through the cars—all reading It, wliiteand black, Gorman, irishman,Swiss, Spaniard, American, old ami young, good and bud, sick and well, before breakfast and after tea, Monday morning,. Saturday night, Sunday and week-day. This is the great agency by which the gospel is to lie preached, ignorance cast out, oppression dethroned, crime extirpated, the world raised, heaven rejoiced and God glorified.

There are, lie adds, on lstw o kinds of newspapers—the one good, very good, the other bad, very bad. [Here we differ with the Doctor.} One may be the embodi­ment of news, tlie ally of virtue, the foe of crime, the delectation of elevated taste, the mightiest agency ou earth for making tlie world better; the other a brigand amid moral forces, a besUmor of reputa­tion, tho right arm of deatli and hell.

One an angel of intelligence and mercy, the otlier a fiend of darkness. Men of the press are to decide under God whether the human race are to be suved or lost.

lie pleads for a close alliance and com­bination between the printing-press and the pulpit, siuce through the bitter a man who has preached on Sunday to five hun­dred, cau on Monday morning reach a mil­lion!

Alluding to tlie profession, iie says:" One of the great trials of this newspa­

per profession is tlie fact that they are compelled to see more of the slmms of the world than any otlier profession. Through every newspaper office, day by day, go the weaknesses of tlie world, the vanities that want to be puffed, the revenges tlmt want to be wreaked, all the 'mistakes that want to be corrected, nil tlie dull speakers who want to be thought eloquent, all tho mean­ness that wants to .get its wares noticed gratis iu the editorial columns in order to save tlie tax of the advertising-column, all the men who want to be set right who never were right, all the. crack-brained philosophers, with story ns long ns their hair, and os gloomy as their finger nails, in mourniug because bereft of soap; all the itinerant bores* who come to stay five minutes and stop an hour.

From the editorial and reportorlnl rooms all the follies and shams of the world are seen day by day, and the temp­tation is to believe neither in God, man, nor woman. It is no surprifj to me that in your profession there are some skepti­cal men. I only wonder that you believe anything. Unless an editor or a reporter has in his present or his early home a model of earnest character, or he throw liimself upon the uphold Ing grace of God, lie must make temporal and eternal ship­wreck.”

Closing, he appeals: " Let me ask all men connected with the printing-press that they help us more and moro in the effort to make the world lietterl I charge you iu the name of God, .before, whom you must account for the tremendous influ­ence you hold iu this country, to con­secrate yourselves to higher endeavors Yon are the men to tight back this inva­sion of corrupt .literature.. Lift up your right hand and swear new idlegiance to tho cause of philanthropy and religion. And when, nt last, standing 011 tlie plains of judgment, you look out upon the un­numbered throngs over whom you have had infill nice, may it lie found that you were among tlie mightiest euergles that lifted men upon tlie exalted pathway that leads to. tlie renown of heaven. Better than to liave sat In editorial clmlr, from which, with the Unger of type, you decided the destinies of empires, you decided them wrong, that you hud been some dungeoned exile who, by tlie light-of window iron- grated, on wraps of a New Testament leaf, picked up from the hearth, spelled out the story of Him who taketh away the sins of the world. In eternity, Dives is the- beg­gar!

Well, my friends, we will nil soon get through writing, and printing, tind proof­reading; and publishing. ’.What then? Our life is a book. Our years are tho chapters. Our months are the paragraphs.O.ur days are the sentences. Our doubts

^nre the interrogation points. Our imita­tion of others the.quotation marks. Our attempts at display a dash. Death tlie period. Eternity the peroration. O God, whore will we spend it? Have you heard

t the news, more startling than any found in tlie journals of .the inst six weeks ? It Is the tidings that man js lost. Have you heard tho news, the gladdest tlmt was ever announced, coming this day from tlio throne of God, lightning couriers leaping 'from tlio palace gate? The news! Tlio

(glorious news! That there is pardon for t all guilt, and comfort for all trouble. Set It up In "double-leaded” columns, and direct It to the whole race.

J .A Scotch poet, insane on everything hut ( religion, wrote this beautiful yet strange rhythm':

L o tta—Philadelpliia’B Favorite.It was always a marvel to the amuse­

ment loving public how Lottn could be so sick tlmt the Chestnut St. Opera House, Philadelphia, was compelled to lie dosed for one week, about two years ago, and that nt the end of that time she was well enough to resume her piny of “Nltouche.” Mo:e than th is-it was noticed that her voice had acquired fresh, volume, nnd In “ Nitnudie,” which is a singing play, she could be heard in ensemble as well as in solo. Among all the gifted ladles who adorn tlie stage Lotto is decidedly the pet nnd favorite. Her. intense vitality, her beraty, nnd tho versatility of her talents draw all classes to see her. She lias been on tho stage since her eighth year, and In all that time the breath of scandal has never once assailed her. Sho is a phe* nominally devoted child to her mother, in whose society she is found at all times. Can It be wondered ut that this little lady returned so soon to her labor at the Opbrn House, when we remember that this speedy restoration was due to the inhalation of Compound Oxygen ? A press correspond­ent writes: " ft wns at the residence of Mrs. James II. Ileverhi.ot Delaney Place, (wife of the endncut counsellor) that I ob­tained a.brief interview with Lotto in ref­erence to tlio treatment of Drs. .Starkey & Pnlen, which prevented her a great pecu­niary loss. The little comedienne, was spending the day tliere, nnd as she answer*' ed my curd she came bounding-into the parlor, throwing herself Into u"luxurious arm chair, and as soon as the formalities of a visit were complied with, I at once broached my subject.'

** I hear you have tried Compound Oxy­gen treatment, Lotta ?”? " Oh, y e s ! You remember die terrible sore throat I had two years ago—that it battled tlie skill of my New York physi­cians? After burning my throat aiul posi­tively prohibiting my appearance before an audience for an unlimited time, I was promised great things if I would try tho ” Oxygen,” so I immediately came to Phil­adelphia nnd put inyself under the cure of Drs. Stnrkey & Pnlen.”." Did you experience immediate relief?”

. " I t wns evident from the first inhalation that I had done the right thing, for It seemed to bring the whole trouble under immediate control.” *

" Then you do not favor burning tlie throat or any of the methods, usually re­sorted to?”

" No. I think it a harsh and cruel treat­ment and it cannot be long before Com­pound Oxygen will come to the rescue of all tlie profession.”

" Drs. Starkev & Palen claim tliut the health obtained by tlie Compound Oxygen treatment is us genuine and permanent as one’s original health. Does your experi­ence confirm that opinion ?”

"Yes, it most certainly does. 1 have not been sick an hour since I. used tlie Oxvgeu. My mother has also been greatly benefited by the use of the Oxygen and is as great an enthusiast as I. It seems to invigorate the whole constitution and im­parts fresh life to every part of tlie body.. In my profession I am always studying from nature. I observe the expressions, gestures und ways of the various people with wlioui I meet, aud find that my pow­er of observation has grown more acute and discriminating since my treatment with the Oxygen. In the voice aloue there is a most perceptible, gain. Lon" , and sustained notes have become easy and whether talking or singing I find it now 110 labor. Persons who sing or talk much on stage or platform feel a certain amount of exhaustion a tth e end of the season and to them the use of tlie Compound Oxygen would lie of great value, I wonder these gentlemen have not brought it, to the no­tice of the. acting profession before. It is just what wo all need.”

" Do you think it would have tho same effect on the system as change of climate ?”

“ Yes, and without tlie disadvantage of long journeys in pursuit of health, such as • the loss of home comforts aud the inter­ference with regular business pursuits.”

“ Did you liave any unpleasant sensa­tions while.taking the Oxygen?”

" No, on the contrary, the sensations were pleasant.” •

"Do you give your full consent to mako thls'interview public?”

" I certainly do. You are at liberty to say I said so.” ’ ■’

Miss Lottu is one of tlie busiest little ladies in tlie world Her engagements are continuously requiring her presence in the cities each season. .She owns theatres nnd real estate in America and Europe, aud large traWs of wooded laud hi the Northwest, indeed she is one of the wealth­iest ladies of the stage. Lqtta is modest about lmr own merits. She believes tlie test of talent is public appreciation. Sure­ly no one lias passed tills test with greater cclat than this- gifted lady, who is still young and fresh. Now if tlie Compound Oxygen can bring hack to the stage each year this favorite and pet, iu prime health, the public can but tlnlnk Drs. Starkey & Pnlen. Any who may- desiro to know * more of the.treatment of which so kindly words are spoken, should write to the office of the physicians, 1529 Arch St., for the literature, on the subject, which is mailed i’reo to all applicants.
