A' minister of the. gospel once
aid that a newspaper that told the
truth, and the whole truth, could
not be a pecuniary success. It ap
K.ars to uh that the minister pre
hiiiucs to talk upon a subject about
which, in all probability, he in not
mifficiently informed to npeak
authoritatively, and that he makes
hiH assertions too strong, but yet
we are all aware that Btich in the
cane to too great an extent. News
jiapers deal with all classes of peo
ple, in all calling saint and sin
uer; and while we leny that news
papers as a rule voluntarily and
rith premeditation wilfully mis-
rt'iircHont, we are aware that too
often in dealing with the faults of
their readers they deal timidly, or
in other words, attempt to court
their friendship and yet correc
their vices. This is only human
jiature, beheld in every calling, bu
we believe that, until the press
strikes out boldly, courting only
-Jhevoice of conscience, will itattaiu
that exalted nosition. as a swaver of
the minds of men; as a promul
ator of human thought, tfr whicl
it is justly entitled.
If nt we are here reminded ot ai
old and familiar saving "those
who live in glass houses should
never throw stones.' It is true
that the ministry, often times, goes
hand in hand with the press witl
white wash brush and pleasant
words, magnifying little virtues
into large ours and attributing to
gross sins the cloak of petty ex
disable misdoings. Many times
the minister, were he to tell the
whole truth about his church mem
bers, alive or dead, might preach to
empty pews.
Hut these cases are extremes.
Were the people of this country to
dispense with the press they would
cast aside the most wonderful de
vice for the promulgation of
thought ever devised among men
a medium, which, for the directness,
strength and persistence of its in
fluence. has no eoual among the
agencies of human utterance
Likewise with the ministry. Oblit
erate the results of its influence
through the ages past and you
have a heartless, cruel, supersti
tious race; an uncivilized people
and a lost world. Kach have faults,
and each have virtues.

THE BIRTH OF A PRAYER.
About the church ooft music flowed.
Fair voices homo on organ waves.
With tinted lixht the dim aisles (flowed.
Like raven that sunlit water laves:
The twelve A pout leu carved in tttone
Looked grimly down uion the nave.
Where faces chilly an their own
No sign of kindling fervor gave.
The music and the sunshine kept
The secret of their gladness well.
As o'er our heavy souls they swept
The tale of empty prune to tell;
Nor ruby light, nor old gray walls.
Nor vested priest, nor music fair.
Nor the sweet holy hush that falls
Within a church, move hearts to prayer,
I saw a gray old man bend down
His shaggy head, his furrowed fnce.
And. with a pleased and patient frown.
Help his wee lass to lind the place;
The two heads bobbed about the page,
Roses and withered leaves at play;
One linger plump, one crooked with age,
Picked verse by verse the doubtful way.
Great glasses, jigging to the lines,
Hruced his dim eyes tho words to truce.
While the small pouter watched the signs
Of hope or failure in his face;
The knotted linger stopped at last,
t?o did the plump one, with an air.
And up und down such looks were cast
That in my heart was born a praer.
John Iicid in Good Words.
flow to He Healthy and Hairy.
A new prophet has arisen. His claims
to attention are imjierative from the fact
that he guarantees hia followers exemp
tion from two of the greatest afflictions
to which fashionable flesh is heir dys
pepsia and baldness. The name of the
prophet is Khorf, a Russian, and he
bears hia credentials writ large on his
person.
Though he has already passed the
span allotted to humanity by the
Psalmiat, he is as agile as a young opos
sum and as well thatched as Absalom.
His rules of longevity are refreshingly
simple. Eschew all drugs, never shave,
live in the open air as much as possible.
and wear aa little clothes as you can
these are the cardinnl doctrines of hv
giene according to Khorf. So shall yoa
become healthy, happy and hairy : for
in the view of the new prophet the nat
ural condition of the human being is to
be all hairy like Esau, or all downy like
Stanley's pygmies. Above all, you must
walk rhythmically," for Dr. Khorf
maintains that we digest with our legs
and not with our stomach. Meat, spirits,
mineral waters, and theaters are all ta
booed in the Khorfiau system. Personally,
he never wears a hat, and takes his meals
in the open air. No doubt, if this hirsute
sage's mode of life were compulsorily
enforced on the entire population we
should all be speaking Simian in a couple
of generations. If ever there is a czar
or an emperor who is an ardent Darwin
ian, the temptation to try the experiment
will probably prove irresistible. London

The distinction is now said to belong
to Bombay of possessing the greatest
piece of solid masonry construction that
the world has ever seen in modern times.
It appears that for years past the water
supply of Bombay depended upon works
known to be defective, involving the
possibility of a water famine in that
great eastern seaport, and in view of
this a consultation of eminent engineers
was held, under the direction of the
government, with the result that a large
dam was determined on, to inclose the
watershed of the valley which drains
into the sea south of Bombay.
This gigantic structure, designed and
accomplished by the superior engineer
ing 6kill of T. C. Glover, is two miles
long, 113 feet in height, and 103 feet
wide at the base, with a roadway on
the top 24 feet wide, the stonework
alone costing $2,000,000. The lake
of water which this dam imprisons is
some eight square miles in area, and
sixty miles of pipe perform the service.
Twelve thousand Hindoos were special
ly trained by Engineer Glover for em
ployment on this dam. New York Sun.

The pay aboard the South Shoal light
ship is somewhat higher than on other
lightships. The captain receives fl.OOO,
the mate $700 and the crew $600. These
sums may not seem large, but it must be
borne in mind that even the prodigal son
would have found it impossible to make
away with his patrimony on the South
Shoal lightship, especially as the govern
ment furnishes all supplies. Opportuni
ties for extravagance are absolutely
wanting. Occasionally a member of the
crew may remark in a sadly jocose tone
that he is going around the corner to or
der a case of champagne or to be meas
ured for a dress suit; but there is no cor

Bright Little Edith.
Little Edith had the habit of eating
out the soft part of her bread and tuck
ing the crust under the edge of her plate.
Her mother had frequently reproved
Edith for this reprehensible practice, but
it appeared to have no lasting effect.
The other eveninc Edith was detected at
her old trick. Said her mother:
'Edith, how often have I told you
about leaving your crusts? There may
come a day when you'll be glad to get
them."
"Yes, mamma," replied Edith, with a
demure, whimsical countenance, "that's
what I'm saving them for." Boston
