The Grumblies and the Sinilies.
Oh. there never was yet
Such a hard-used set!
They have to study or have to sew,
When everyone knows they hate it so-,
And mamma is always “-WunK Ml
While Grandmamma s getting the dreadfull
cst way , ,
Os asking for something most every day !
At dinner there’s nothing that s nt to eat.
And somebody else lias the brownest meat—
Or the soup’s too hot, or the bread s too dry;
And they never did like that kind of pie.
So they’re grumbly and growly.
And sulky and cowly. ,
Till everyone thinks we could get on without
them.
But who can he glum
When the smilies come?
They are always polite; and errands, they say.
Are never too hard, nor too far away.
And whether they work.orwhethertheyplay.
Their faces are bright as a new -coined dime.
And they have just the jolliesl kind of a time!
And everyone’s happy to have them nigh ;
For if ever a bit of cloud comes by
They are whisking it inside out in a minute,
And findingthe silvery lining that s in it..
They're funny and sunny,
And sweeter than honey;
And always a scatteringsunshnieaboutthem.
Dear Smifies! W hy, how could we live with

HOW GOD HELPED JULIAN FIND A
PLAGE.
BY HELLE V. CHISHOLM.
“I will look at your reference, if
you please,” said Mr. Conway, after
questioning Julian Mount very close
ly for a few minutes, the morning he
came to apply for the place in the
factory which had been advertised in
yesterday’s paper.
“I have none,” answered Julian
hesitatingly.
“Did you not know that men in
business always require some kind
of testimonials ? ” inquired Mr. Con
way, sharply, before the young man
had lime to explain.
“Yes, sir, but 1 came to the city
expecting to enter the store of a
gentleman, a friend of my father’s,
who a few months ago, offered me a
position,” replied Julian, trying to
control the quiver in his voice.
“And he has disappointed you,”
interrupted Mr. Conway. “He must
be a rascal.”
“He has left the city,” responded
Julian. “I should not have left
home until I received an answer to
my letter apprising him of my com
ing, but I followed his directions,
never thinking of his removal, and
now I must make the best of the sit
uation, though it is uphill business
hunting a place without references.”
“Why don’t you write to your
father for the necessary papers?”
inquired Mr. Conway.
“Father is dead, sir. If he were
Jiving, I would not need to be look
ing for work. I was kept in school
while he lived, but I must take his
place now, and try to provide for
my mother and two little sisters.”
“How long has your father been
dead?” asked Mr. Conway, his voice
softening.
“Just one month to-day, sir,” re
plied J ulian. “Mr. Couch wrote, of
fering me a position, about Christ
mas, but father wished me to
finish my senior year in the
Academy. He said I could try my
hand at clerking in vacation, but his
death lias changed every thing, and
that accounts for my presence here.”
“.Mr. Couch—Mr. Jacob Couch--
is the gentleman to whom you refer,
I presume,” remarked Mr. Conway.
Julian bowed in acquiescence, and
the gentleman added, “I was very
well acquainted with him, and, since
you have been disappointed, I am
willing to give you a tiial, though it
is against our rules to employ hands
without testimonials. If 1 take you
on my own responsibility you must
not betray me.
“You shall never regret your kind
ness, sir,” exclaimed Julian, tears
glistening in his eyes. “I will do
my very best.”
And be did. By his honesty,close
attention to business, and splendid
workmanship, in the course of a year,
he rose from the position of a com
mon laborer to that of chief book
keeper. lie was always at his post,
and never, in all those months, gave
his employer the least cause for
complaint.
One rainy Saturday evening, in
the season when the mill was run
ning at high pressure, and the orders
came in more rapidly than they
could be filled, Mr. Conway an
nounced that, owing to the accu
mulation of work, it would bo nec
essary to continue operations on Sab
bath.* Said he, by the way of apolo
gy, “Other manufacturing establish
ments are doing the same, and, if we
do not fill our contracts w ithin the
specified time, our trade will lie di
verted into other channels. Remem
ber the steam will not be off to-mor
row, boys, and every employee must
be at his post at the regular hour.
What is our interest is your interest,
and we will see that no one loses any
thing by the transaction.
As the long line of incn filed slow
ly down the hall and out of the open
door, Julian stepped out of line, and
with a respectful bow, paused at
Mr. Conway’s desk.
“Well!" exclaimed that gentle-
man, irritably, not caring to be in
terrupted in his writing.
“I cannot work on Sunday,” said
Julian quietly.
“Why not?” asked Mr. Conway,
sharply.
“It’s against my principles,” re
turned Julian, bravely.
“Principles, indeed ! What an un
comfortable thing a conscience must
be 1 ” sneered Mr. Conway. “Money
is what you want, my boy. Go to
work to-morrow and you will be
privileged to name your ow r n wages
for the extra day.”
“I am not for sale, Mr. Conway,”
said Julian stepping back in indigna
tion.
“Don’t put on airs,.young man,”
retorted Mr. Conway’, tauntingly. “I
am not accustomed to bits of boys
dictating to me. You have heard
my command, and you can take your
choice—obedience or dismissal. If
you can afford to quarrel with your
bread and butter, it is no affair of
mine. There sits the pay master,
ready to settle with you, but think
well before you choose.”
“I have chosen,” said Julian, firm
ly, as he turned towards the door.
“Mighty plucky fellow ! I hate to
lose him, too, but insubordination
must be nipped in the bud,” mut
tered Mr. Conway, as he watched the
young man walk away.
If Julian had any misgivings re
garding the wisdom of his decision
that night, the bright light of a
beautiful Sabbath morning dispelled
them, and made him more firm in
adhering to his convictions of right.
It is true that the outlook was by no
means reassuring. The fact that he
had been discharged by a man as
prominent in business circles as Mr.
Conway, was not a very flattering
testimonial, but Julian’s faith was
like that of a little child, and, having
asked Jesus to help him in securing
a position, he went about trying
ing faithfully to do his share of the
work, fully satisfied that God would
accomplish the rest.
And he did, though in an alto
gether unexpected way, sending the
needed help directly through the
man whose influence Julian most
dreaded. Just one week after the
young man’s discharge, a banker,one
of Mr. Conway’s intimate friends,
came to him in perplexity. His
cashier had just disappeared with a
large sum of the bank's money, and
he was in search of a reliable man to
take his place.
“I think I know a young fellow
who will suit you exactly,” said Mr.
Conway, after listening to his friend’s
grievances. “You remember young
Mount the boy who worked up in a
year’s time,’ from filling bobbins to
keeping books? I have discharged
him, but I know of no young man in
the city who would prove more effi
cient and faithful in the capacity of
a trusted servant than just Julian
Mount.”
“And yet you discharged him, you
say?” questioned the gentleman,
puzzled over .Mr. Conway's seeming
contradiction.
“I did, because ho had too much
conscience to work on Sunday. You
see, I could not tolerate defiance to
my command, and I was afraid of
his influence over my workmen, but
in your ease things are different,’’
explained Mr. Conway. “I take no
stock in religion myself, but a boy
who will give up a good position
rather than violate a precept he con
siders binding, will be perfectly safe
among piles of money.”
His friend agreed with him, and
that was the way God helped Julian
to find a place.
ANTS AS ARCHITECTS.
SURPRISING INTKLI.TGBNCK.
All sorts of wonderful stories are
told of the works of ants and espe
cially of their engineering powers.
It is of course within the knowledge
of the most casual observers, says
the Brookly Eagle, that the ant is a
most surprising insect in point of
what we call intelligence, and its
simpler feats are amusing to all.
One of the most recent incidents we
have seen related of the ant's power
in the way of engineering, planning
and building is that which is credited
to a Glasgow source. A pastrycook
in that city found his shop invaded
by a colony of anta, who feasted
nightly on the delicacies deposited
on a certain shelf. After cudgeling
his brain for some time in order to
discover a plan for stopping the dep
redations of the active insects, he re
solved to lay a streak of molasses
around the tray containing the
coveted food. In due time the ants
came forth in their hundreds, and
were led toward the feast by their
chief. On reaching the line, scouts
were then sent out to survey, and
eventually the word of command was
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY, MAY 5, 1892.
passed around, and instantly the main
body of anta made for a part of the
wall w’here the plaster had been
broked by a nail. Then each rushed
to the spot indicated, where their
burdens were deposited upon the
molasses. By this means, and after
an infinite amount of labor, a ridge
was formed, and the triumphant army
marched forward to partake of the
fruits of victory, the baker mean
while standing by filled with wonder.
A BRAVE LITTLE GIRL.
Little Mary Meadow was a dear
little girl who use to live in Cincin
nati. She had big brown eyes and
long golden curls, and looked like a
pretty little doll. Although only five
years old, her mamma used to talk
to her about what she should do if
her clothing should get on fire or if
any accident should happen to her
little baby sister while she was alone
with her. Mary always listened and
would say, sweetly, “Yes, mamma,
I’ll ’member what you say.”
One day Mary went over to visit
her grandma. It was quite cold, and
her grandma w as so glad to see dear
little Mary that she built a fire in the
grate in the parlor. She put in some
very snappy wood, and Mary liked
to hear it crack and to see the sparks
lly about. Grandma left little Alary
by the fire, and went down stairs to
get something nice for her to eat-
Mary was sitting close up to the fire,
when all of a sudden a big spark
flew right into her lap. In a moment
her little Mother Hubbard dress was
on fire. Then little Mary remem
bered that her mamma had told her
to wrap something thick around her
to smother the flames; but there was
not a rug or a shawl or a blanket in
the room. She thought she would
roll on the floor, but the carpet was
new, and the dear little heart could
not bear the thought of hurting
grandma’s new carpet.
Mamma had told her never to run,
as that would make the fire burn
brighter, and to keep her mouth
closed. So she pressed her lips close
together, and with her tiny hands
began to beat the flames hard on her
little dress. Pretty soon grandma
heard a little voice saying:
“ Grandma, I’ve been on fire, but
it’s all out now. I just pounded the
fire and prayed to Jesus, and I guess
the fire went out through my back,
’cause I’m not burning now.”
Grandma took her up in her lap,
and saw her little blistered fingers,
and the front breadth of her dress
all blackened and full of holes, and
she kissed the brave little girl.
Alary’s mamma kept the little
burned dress a long time to show
how brave her little girl was, and
how she remembered to do as she
had been told even when she was
frightened.—Harpers Young People.
Then and now.—Four or five
years ago Alary Floyd was a girl at
school. She was busy turning the
pages of her lexicon or grammar to
get out her Greek and lattin lessons;
she practiced on the piano two hours
a day with earnest and patient fideli
ty, she stood for an hour every day
at her laboratory shelf with twenty
other girls, and performed the chem
ical experiments given out by the
professor. She wrote compositions,
analyzed flowers and pressed them
for a herbarium; she made pictures
in pencil and crayon, and water col
or and oil, and did all those things
that young ladies at school do who
are supposed to be reciving a finish
ed education.
Now she turhs the pages of the
cook-book and studies domestic econ
omy with as much earnestness as she
formerly gave to Greek and Latin.
She experiments with flour and eggs
and butter, and her kitchen is her
laboratory. She makes pictures of
her parlor, dining-room and table
her lied room, even her kitchen. In
stead of writing compositions she
writes letters to her friends, telling
them of her various successes and
failures as a housekeeper. When her
husband comes home weary with the
labors of the day she rests him with
her voice in singing or in talking, or
plays to him the favorite pieces of her
school-days when the evening repast
is over. Instead of embroidering bits
of linen she darns his stockings,
mends his coat, sews on missing but
tons. Every talent she cultivated
when at school she finds called into
requisition to perfect that complex
and beautiful creation we call a home.
And this career is her supreme de
light and pride.

MY HEART IS STIRRED WITHIN ME!
But before I tell you why, readers
of the dear old Index,‘maybe I would
better tell you somewhat of the body
in which this heart finds ita present
home. It has lain on bed its last
seven birth days, as the result of an
accident while engaged in farm la
bor, in which my spine was injured.
Seven years an invalid! An invalid
life whose cause and march and pur
pose have felled to the ground, with
broken, bleeding wing, that bird of
hope which sang each day in my
heart ita sweet roundelays of thrilling
inspiration; a stroke which shattered
as bright dreams and glowing ambi
tions as ever stirred the breast of
happy, hopeful youth. But during
all these years of trying afflictions,
the sweet, refeshing presence of
Christ in my heart—full, sustaining,
glorious! has richly compensated me
for all my earthly loss.
"How dark would bo my weary years,
Were they not lighted by Thy love.”
And if my life or words will only be
blessed of God to the strengthening
of Christians and leading those out of
Christ and without hope, t<r Jesus,
my Redeemer, whose power to sus
tain and comfort, not only in mirth’s
glad hour but sorrow’s dark and bit
ter night, I have had such a glorious
opportunity to put to the test—Christ
who has been more than ample in ev
ery trial and been always so precious
to me—ls His Holy Spirit will only
enable me to do this, I am not only
content, but happy, very happy. I
am now talking to you through an
other’s fingers.
But why is my heart now so spe
cially stirred? Oh, it is that thrill
ing extract from her son’s letter from
Brazil, published in a recent Index
by Airs. A. Smith Irvine, of Augusta,
Ga. Her fervid, consecrated letters
concerning mission work among the
Chinese and Negroes around our
homes as well as beyond the sea,
long ago won my heart. It seems
that everything she takes hold of, she
touches with living fire and practical
Christian zeal. But to return to the
letter, telling of the converted Rus
sian Jew who, from a simple, earnest
study of the New Testament has be
come a Baptist in Rio.
There is always a peculiar rejoic
ing in my heart when I hear of a
Jew’s being converted to Christ—a
Jew, one of God’s own, peculiar peo
ple. They were His own. Jesus
came to his own, but his own receiv
ed him not.
Nowadays, as in Apostolic times,
it does seem that when Jews joyful
ly find the Messiah for whom they
have looked so long, and He' is en
throned in their hearts, they make al
most, if not quite the happiest Chris
tians in the world. Our Saviour was
a Jew. I love the Jews. We should
always be tender and loving toward
them, and try to lead them out from
the weighty and darksome bondage
of the law, into the glorious, sweet,
restraining liberty of Christ.
This Russian Jew, Solomon, con
verted several years ago in London,
disowned and disinherited by friends
and family for becoming a Christian,
comes to Brazil as an evangelist, and
while working among the natives in
the Bahia Alission, becomes concern
ed about our Baptist faith, carefully
studies the Bible, and in consequence,
is led to follow the footsteps of Je
sus in baptism, in his own appointed
way. Educated and brought up for
a Rabbi, by his father—himself a
Rabbi, he is a fine linguist and an en
ergetiv and zealous man. And now
here comes the part of the story
which especially stirred my heart:
“Some months ago some German
Baptists, about 20 in all, were driven
from Russia by persecution ; came to
Brazil and found their way to San
Paulo—some locating in the city of
T Paulo, and the others in the city
of Campinos. We heard of them,
and when Bro. Bagby visited these
places recently, he looked them up.
As they know no English and but
little Portuguese, Bro. Bagby had to
speak to them through an interpreter,
which is not very satisfactory. They
were overjoyed to see him ! They
sang hymns in German and when
Bro. Bagby knelt to pray, they wept
aloud, and accompanied him to the
station to bid him good-bye.”
Beautiful, beautiful scene! How
touching! How strengthening to
cveiy Christian's faith! Think of
that faithful little band driven from
home and native land by the merci
less hand of persecution, all for the
faith of Jesus, and devotion to His
plain teaching and principles, dearer
to them than the sweet joys of home
and even life itself. Far across the
sea, to human eyes, desolate; stran
gers in a strange and unfriendly land,
they arc found by a brother of like
Christian faith, prompted to look
them up by a burning love planted in
bis heart by the gracious hand of
Christ; they cannot understand each
other’s words, but through the help
of an interpreter, and by “upward
glance and reverend tone” they learn
that they are children of the same Fa
ther and trust the same Saviour; joy
unspeakable thrills their hearts—the
holy fire spreads from breast to
breast, breaking through the jargon
of hitherto meaningless words; they
understand each other now—they
are one in the Lord. These happy
disciples sing German hymns which
Bro. Bagby cannot understand; Bro.
Bagby kneels and prays to their one
Father in words w hich they cannot
understand, but God understands it
all, and pours into their hearts to
overflowing His common blessing of
indescribable happiness! Persecuted
long—long homeless and weary—
wanned and refreshed by tlxis unex
pected meeting and service, they
weep aloud for joy. As I think of
their happy tears and of their follow
ing Bro. Bagby to the station to bid
him good-bye, I am carried back to
that touching scene where the disci
ples at Ephesus “fell upon Paul’s
neck and kissed him, and accompa
nied him unto the ship.”
Look at such a scene, poor infidel,
with hopeless life, darkened soul
and still more hopeless death ! Sure
ly, if all the apostles and disciples of
skepticism could have witnessed that
glorious little scene—looked upon
those persecuted faces beaming with
the light of transfiguration—eyes
suffused with joyful tears, tears crys
tal with the feeling over which even
the angels in Heaven rejoice—hearts,
regenerated hearts, wearing in them
an implanted faith which rejoices to
be counted worthy of persecution for
the sake of its Author, their Redeem
er—a faith which lives through every
storm and triumphs in every contest!
Oh, surely, if earth’s unbelievers
could have witnessed it, their unbe
lieqing hearts would have been touch
ed, their cold skepticism would have
melted, and their deadly doubts, like
dark and lowering clouds, would
have fled away before the sunshine
of such radiant faith and love !
The story tells ns that Bro. Solo
mon, the converted Jew, who could
converse with them in their own
language, went down to see these
German Baptists, and such a meet
ing—such a time as they did have!
Ho organized a church at San Paulo
and one at Campinos, but had to re
turn to his work at Bahia. So anx
ious were these people to enjoy their
church privileges that they had been
contemplating coming to the States,
so they could hear the gospel preach
ed.
They are poor—they need houses
of worship and a pastor. Just think
of our blessings, our privileges com
pared with theirs! Oh, think of
these things, you who have any grati
tude in your hearts for Christ who
has redeemed you. And remember
the striking words of Bro. G. S.
Tumlin, of LaGrange: “I tell you,
brethren, a prayer to be heaven-high,
must be pocket-deep!”
Now, lying here on bed, you all
can imagine what a poor chance I
have for making money, if any at all.
But this is the great Centennial year
of missions among the Baptists of the
world; and in thinking of it, my
heart has been set all aglow, and I
have determined to try to (five at
least five dollars as a thank offering
to the Lord Jesus, who has done so
much for me. Ami if Airs. Irvine or
some one else who is able, will take
hold and push the matter, I will give
half of this humble amount, oh, how
I wish it could be more!) to start a
fund for a house for these poor, per
secuted brethren in Brazil, surround
ed on every side as they are, by a de
graded and degrading Romanism, the
light in which (if ever any) has be
come a gross and deadly darkness!
******
My heart is stirred within me when
I read in the Index of glorious re
vivals amohg our people; the sweet
est news that comes to my ears and
heart is that of Christians being
awakened and strengthened and ran
somed sinners’ coming home and re
joicing in newness of life !
It makes me happy to read of earn
est, consecrated men and faithful
bands of zealous women, pushing the
work of Christian missions at home
and abroad, with dauntless faith and
courage, and tireless hearts and hands.
I cannot go out and take an active
part in such work myself, but my
heart is stirred with joy when I hear
of its being done.
And ah! but it is stirred another
way when 1 hear the appeals of our
Secretaries, brethren Tupper and
Bell, Tichenor and Jones, telling of
the scarcity of receipts, of promises
unfulfilled, sacred pledges unkept,
missionaries’ salaries unpaid, or paid
out of the private funds of brethren
to whose hearts the glorious work and
the honor of the Baptist name are so
dear.
My heart is stirred and thrilled
with joy when I read (or hear read)
the happy letters of Bro. Powell of
Alexico, telling of “a member of the
Greensboro, Ga., church,” who gives
over 12,000 a year to that work
alone; and the quaintly beautiful let
ters of Bro. Diaz, so full of faith, in
Cuba, humbly working under God
and with the simple banner of Jesus,
wresting the “Queen of the Antilles”
from the power of Romish darkness
and superstition. But my heart is
stirred another way when I hear the
strong appeals of Bro. C. W. Pruitt,
for men and women to go with him
to China. His conservative, tender
and earnest letters long ago won my
sympathy. He has been on the field
for years and knows its needs and its
advantages. For a long time he has
plead for active help, but no one says,
“Lord, here am I, send me, send me.”
And no one says, “Lord, I cannot go
myself, but out of love for thee, I
will send or help to send another.”
Aly heart was happy when I re
cently received a letter from Pastor
Hawthorne, telling me they were fit
ting up for the Southern Baptist
Convention a house that would seat
5,000 people. Then, it will be the
most comfortably entertained session
in all its history. God grant that the
cause of missions may receive a new
impetus, the whole South and Chris
tian world set ablaze with holy en
thusiasm, even more than 100 new
missionaries be sent out by Southern
Baptists, and all of us pray and give
and work, and trust, until we stand
at last in the glorious presence of
Him who has redeemed us!

An elevating influence.—To
evangelize the world is the mission
of the church. In all that she does
this end should be ever in view.
Whatever is not against Christ is for

The American Baptist Publication
Society is engaged in furnishing a
pure religious literature to as many
readers as it can reach, and is doing
incalculable good thereby. Its ef
fort is to furnish this matter at rates
as cheap as possible. AV hat profits
are made go to the mission and be
nevolent work of the Society by
sending forth the living minister to
come in personal contact with the
people.
The literature provided by it for
Sunday schools is cheaper than any
other of like grade. It is adapted
admirably to all grades of scholars.
Money to provide a school with a
small equipment is hard to raise, and
it would be well for schools to se
cure supplies from this Society,know
ing they thereby get as good as the
best for less money, and if there is
any profit it goes to help the needy
over the whole country.
