Albert Barnes, the good Christian, known
the world over, stood in his milpit in Phila

“This world is so very mo, I am

I would rather turn to the <h - ri;it ion he gave
after his conversion, when lie says in another
place: “Hhr wavs are ways *; pleasantness,
and all her paths ar*‘ peace.’’ It is reason
able to expect it will be so. Tim longer the
fruit hangs on the tree, the ru-r and m<ov
mellow it ought to grow. You plant one
gram of corn audit will send up a stab; with
two ears, each havin'- nine hundred fthd fifty
grains. so that 011“ grain planted will pro
duce nineteen hundred gra ns. And ought
not the implantation of a grain of Christian
principle in a youthful soul develop into a
large crop of gladness on earth, and to a har
vest of eternal joy in heaven? 11-ar me,
then, while I discourse upon some of the mis
takes which Joullg people make in regard to
happiness, and point out to the young worn n
wh it I consider to be the source of complete
satisfaction.
And, in the first place, I advise you not to
build your happiness upon mere social posi
tion. at your age, looking off upon
life, are apt to think that, if by some stroke
of what is called good luck, you could arrive
vt an elevated and affluent position, a little
higher than that in which < lod has called you
to live, you would be completely happy. In
finite mistake! The palace floor of Ahasuerus
is red with the blood of Vashti's broken heart.
There have boon no more scalding tears wept
than those which course-! the cheeks of
Josephine. If the sob of unhappy woman
hood in the great cities could break through
the tapestried wall, that .sob would come
along your streets to-day like the simoon of
the desert Sometimes I have heard in the
rustling of the robes on the city pavement
the hiss of the adders that followed
in the wake. You have come out
from your homo, and you have looked
up at the groat house, and covet a
life under those arches, when, perhaps, at
that very moment, within that house, there
may have been the w ringing of hands, the
start of horror and the very agony of hell.
I knew such a one. Her fat her's house was
plain, most of the people who came there
were plain; but, by a change in. fortune such
as sometimes comes, a hand had been offered
that Jed her into a brilliant sphere. All the
neighbors congratulated her upon her grand
jaroepects; but what an exchange! On hei
side It was a heart full of generous impulse
and affection. On his side it was a soul dry
and withered as the stubble of the field. <)n
her side it was .a father's house, where God
was honored and the Sabbath light flooded
the rooms with the very mirth of heaven.
On his side it was a gorgeous residence, end
the coming of mighty men to be enter
tained there; but within it were revelry and
godlessness. Hardly had the orange blossoms
of the marriage feast lost their fragrance, than
the night of iis r, ontent began torast here and j
there its alien low. Cruelties and Yitikindnesses
changed all splendid trappings into a
hollow mockery. The platters of solid silver, j
the caskets of pure gold, the -h • ul dress of ,
gleaming diamonds were but no God, ;
no peace, no kind words, no Christian sym
pathy. Tlfe 1 st.il music that, broke on the ,
captive's ear turned out to be a dirge, and !
the wreath in the push was a reptile coil,
ami the upholstery that awaked in th* wind j
was the w Ipg, of a destroying hngej, and the i
bead drop* on the pitcher were]'the sweat of
everlasting despair. Oh. how. many rival
ries and unhappinesses among those who seek \
in social life their chief happiness. It. mat- j
tors not how fine you ha • things, there are
other people who have them finer. Taking out i
your watch to t *ll the hour of the day; some ;

All that Ibis world can do for you in sil

Suppose that a young woman expends the
brightness of her early life in this unsatisfac
tory struggle and omits the present oppor
tunity of usefulness in the homo circle; wlmt
a mistake!
80 nirely as the years roll around that
home in which you now dwell will become
extinct. The parents will be gone, the prop

self will |k* in other relationships, ami that
home which, onlv a year ago. was full of
congratulation, will be extinguished. When
that period comes you will look back to sea
wbat you did, or wlmt you neglected to do in
the way of making home happy. It will he
too late to correct mistakes, if j’ou did not
smooth the path of your parents toward the
tomb; if you did not make their last days
bright and happy; if von allowed your
younger brother to go out into the world,
unhallowed by Christian and sisterly influ
ences; if ysu allowed the voifnger sifters of
your family to come up without feeling that
there liacf been a Christian example set them
on your part, there will be nothing but bit
terness of lamentation That bitterness will
be increased by all the surroundings of that
home; by every chair, by every picture, by
the old time mantel orna'ments, by every
thing you can think of as connected with
that home. All these things will rous: up
agonizing memories. Young women, have
you anything to do in the way <<t mak

time to attend to it, or leave it forever un

and that is made up <*f countless years.

your h art an l you culture your face. The
bright* st glory that ever beamed from a
woman's face is tiie religion of Jesus Christ.
In tiie last war 200 wouude l soldiers came to
l’h .le lelphia one night, and came unheralde 1,
and they had to extemporize a hospital for
them, and the Christian women of my church,
and of other churches, went out that night to
t ke care of the poor w ounded fellow’s. That
I night I saw a Christian woman go through
the wards of the hospital, her sleeves rolled
| up, ready for hard work, her hair di
i shoveled in the excitement of the hour,
j Iter face was plain, very plain; but
after the wounds were wash-l and the
I new bandages were put round the splintered
I limbs and tne exhausted boy fell off into his
j first pleasant sleep, she put her hand on his
i brow and he started in his dream, and said:
“Oh, 1 thought an angel touched me!’’ There
may have been no classic elegance in the
l features of Mrs. Harris, who came into the
j hospital after the Seven Days’ awful fight,
i as she sat down by a wounded drummer boy
and heard him solilo juize: “A ball through
my body, and my poor mother will never
again see her b >y. What a pity it is!” And
‘ she lean-d over him and said; “Shall 1 be
your mother and comfort you?” And li
; looked up an-1 said: “Yes. I'll try to think
she's here, Please to write a long letter to
her and tell her all about it. and send her a
' lock of my hair and comfort her. But 1
would like to have you tell her how much 1
suffered—yes, I would like you to do that,
for she would feel so for me. Hold my hand
while I die.” There may have been no classic
elegance in her features, but all the hospitals
of Harrison’s Landing and Fortress Monroe
would have agreed that she was beautiful;
and if any rough man in all that ward had j
insulted iier. some wounded soldier would i
have leaped from his couch, on his best foot,
and struck him dead with a crutch.
Again, I advise you not to depend for hap
piness upon the flatteries of m n. It is a
poor compliment to your spx that so many
men feel obliged in your presence to offer un
meaning comnlim-nts. Men capable of ele
gant and elaborate conversation elsewhere
sometimes feel called upon at the door of the
drawing-room to drop their common sense
and t > dole out sickening flatteries. They
say tilings about your dreis, and about your
appearance, that you know, an 1 they know,
are false. They sav you are an angel.
You know you are not. Determined to tell
the Truth in office and store and shop, they
consider it honorable to lie to a woman. The
sam > thing that they told you on this side of
the drawing room three minutes ago they
sai 1 to someone on the other side of t he draw -
ing room. <h, let no one t rample on your
self respect. The meanest tiling on which a
woman can build her happiness ia the flatter
ies of men.
Again, I charge you not to depend for hap
piness upon the discipleship of worldlings*. I
have seen men as vain of their old fashioned
and their eccentric hat ns you brainless fop
is proud of his dangling fool. ries. Fashion
sometimes makes a reasonable demand of ns.
and then we ought to yield to it. The daisies
of the field have their fashion of color and
leaf: the honeysuckles have their fashion of
ear drop, and the snow-flakes flung out of the
winter heavens have their fashion of exquis
iteness. After the summer shower the sky
weds the earth with ring of rainbow, and 1
do not think we have a right to despise the
elegancies anil fashions of the world, espe
cially if they make reasonable demands u;>on
us; l ut the discipleshipand worship of lash
| ion is death to the b *dy and death to the
1 sou’. lam glad the world is improving.
! Look at the fashion plates of the Seventeenth
. and Eighteenth centuries, and you will find
I that the world is not so extravagant, and ex
: traordiuary now as it was then, and all the
marvelous things that the granddaughter
wi.l do will never equal that dope by the
grandmother. Go still farther back, to the
Bible tini'-s, an l you find that in those
times fashion wielded a more terrible
scepter. You have only to turn to tie third
chapter of Isaiah, a portion of the Scriptures
from w hich I once preached to you a sermon,
to read: “Because the daughters of Zion are
haughty,and walk with stretched forth necks
and wanton eves, walking and mincing as
they go, and making a tinkling with their
f.-ct: In that day the Lord will take away
the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about
their feet, and their cauls, and their round
tires Ike the moon, the chains and the brace
lets. and the mufflers, the bonnets, and the
head bands, and the tablets, and the car
rings, the rings, and the nose jewels, the
changeable suits of apparel and the mantles,
and the wimples, and the crisping pins, the
glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods,and
the veils.” Only think of a woman having
all that on! I am glad that the world is
getting better, and that fashion, which has
dominated in the world so ruinously in other
days, has for a little time, for a little degree
at any rate, relaxed its energies. All the
splendors and the extravaganza of this world
dye 1 into your robe ami flung over your
shoulder cannot wrap peace around your
heart for a single moment. The gayest ward
robe will litter no voice of condolence in
the day of trouble and darkness. That
woman is grandly dressed, and only she,
who is wrapped in the robe of a
Saviour's rightnousness. The home may
be very humble, ihe hat may be very plain,
the fro k run v be very coarse; but the halo
of heaven settles in the room when she wears
it, and the faintest touch of the resurrection
angel will change that garment into raiment
exceeding white, so as no fuller on earth
could whiten it. I come to you. young
women, to-dav. to sav that this world cannot,
make you happy: l know it is a bsight
world, with glorious sunshine, and golden
riv.-rs, and fire worked sunset, and bird
orchestra, anl the darkest cave has its crys
tals. and the wrathiest w ave its foam wreath,
ami the coldest midnight its flaming
aurora ; but God will put out all these
lights with the of his own nostrils,
and the glories of this world will perish in
the final conflagration. You will never
be happy until you get your sins forgiven
and allow Jesus < 'hrist to take full possession
of your soul. He will be your friend in
every perplexity. He will bo your comfort
in every trial. He will be your defender in
every strait. Ido not ask you to bring, like
Marv. the spicea to the sepulcher of a dead
< hrist, but to bring your all to the feet of a
living Jesus. His word is peace. His look
is love His hand is help. His touch is life.

A Senatorial Bar]ing.
A Washington dispatch says:—A good
deal of amusement is furnished this
winter by the wife of a certain Senator,
who always calls her husband “Darling.”
He isn’t such a one as the term would
be ordinarly applied to, being big and
burly and not very nice about his per
son, but she seemed to think it a very
pretty pet name, and uses the term of
endearment on all occasions. Whether
she is addressing him in private or pul>-
lic, or whether she speaks of him to
others, she always says “ Darling,” and
does it so frequently that when “ Dar
ling” is referred to now everybody
knows who is meant.”
“ Darling has such a bad cold,” she
said to another Senators wife the other
day, “that 1 am going to put him to
bed when lie comes home.”
“Darling went to the Capitol early
tliis morning,” she remarked to another,
“to attend one*of those horrid com
mittee meetings. What dreadful things
they are! I positively hate them.
Why, Darling says that if it wasn’t for
his committee work ho could spend lots
of time w ith me.”
The other Senators have “ caught on”
so to apeak, and now seldom allude to
their colleague by any other term —in
his absence only, of course. One Sena
tor came very near making a blunder
the other day by using it nt the wrong
time. Ho entered the committee room
a little late, and as he took off his coat
and gloves looked around the table, at
which half a dozen or more Senators
were seated, and asked :
“Where's Darling?”
There wore some frantic gestures to
ward a book-case at the other end of the
room and the late comer blushed deeply
and looked alarmed. “Darling” was
behind a map rack, where he could not
he seen, and if he overheard the remark
he showed no sign.

Shaved in Two Strokes.
A gentleman said to a New York Mai
and Evpreti reporter: “I was visiting a
friend of mine in a small country town.
I can’t shave myself, and, as my face
soon began to look black, I went out
early one morning to look for a barber.
After a great search and many inquiries
I was directed to a cottage, on t lie door
of which hung a board with this sign
painted on it: ‘Easy Shaving, Fashion
able Hair Cutting.’
“The only occupaut of the room was
a spectacled old man who appeared more
than half blind. I told him what I
wanted. He said he would be ready in
a minute and asked me to take a seat in
the chair. The contrivance was a
straight backed wooden ulfair. The
wood at the back was worn almost as
sharp as a razor s edge. Alter waiting
some time the old man approached me
with a towl in his hand. He jerked mv
head over the back of the chair, almost
severing my spinal column, and tucked
the rag around my neck. Then he
commenced to lather me with a brush so
hot and hard that it nearly skinned and
scalded my face. It was then that 1
thought of the easy shave. I had plenty
of time to do this while lie was strop
ping his ra or. This done he flourished
the weapon before my frightened gaz
Holding my head securely with h s arm,
with one bold, sweeping stroke he
scraped from my ear to my chin.
“I yelled, but I might as well have
been a mute. He quickly turned to the
other cheek and repeated the stroke a
though he was proud of it. Then pinch
ing my no-e he tipped my l ead l ack
and began his deadly work on my neck.
It was all over in less time than it takes
to tell it, and it is needless to ray that
the shave was a clean one, for he had
taken off the skin ns well as the hair.
How much do you think he charged
for that operation?’*
“Don’t know.”
“One penny, and it was worth it as an
experience. It taught me how to suffei
and be strong.”
Lending Human Bones.
The New York Sun says that in the
“bone room” of the College of Physi
cians and Surgeons a large number of
disarticulated skeletons are kept and
loaned out to the students in the same
manner that books are lent from a circu
lating library. It is a novel institution.
The bones are numbered, labeled and
placed in order upon shelves around the
room. An attendant is always on hand
acting in the same capacity as a libra
rian.
It is his duty to keep track of the
bones lent, to enter them upon books and
to see that they are returned uninjured.
During the day scores ofstudents flock in
and out of the placecarrying packages of
strange appearance in their hands or
sticking out of their pockets. They
contain human bone* of all shapes and
sizes, which they are returning to or
taking from the “Bone Circulating Li
brary.” By this means they are enabled to
prosecute their studies at home. Fom.o
of them may be seen going through the
streets carrying fragments of skeletons
uncovered in their hands. Every stu
dent is entitled to a complete skeleton
after having dissected an entire subject,
but during the prosecution of his stud
ies it is a great advantage to have sep
arate hones to study, and lienrc the es

H i atoil by Chemical Foot Warmers.
I uke Sharp says in the Detroit Free
Per**: I on e brought a good deal of
ridicule upon myself by asserting in
these columns that I traveled on an Eng
lish train heated by chemical foot warm
ers. When these things got cold you
shook ’em up and they gave out heat
again. I never got anyone to believe
this story, and yet it was true. I have
found out since that the chemical used
was some sort of soda affair, and 1 un
derstand that the fact that this compound
of soda will give out heat has caused it
to be* used as an engine for running street
cars. I believe that they are going to
use the soda motor on u ( hicago street
car line. I don't know whether any of
the soda foot warmers are used in Eng
land or not. I couldn’t find any on the
little island when 1 was there last win
ter, though urged by niy unbelieving
friends to do so for the sake of my own
reputation for veracity.

How Nunset Got Earned an Occa
sional Hour with Statesmen.
Although nearly 60 years of ago, Sun
set Cox is nearly us jlly an he used to
l>e. Ho has been a quarter of a century
in tho lower House of Congroaa, and in
his time has been a little wild, ami
needed more fun and excitement than
his own witticisms and the debates in
the House afforded hitu. Hut he lias
changed his habits in this respect, and
is taking much better care of bis health
than ho used to do. Cox married a come
ly woman with a handsome fortune, and
never likes to do anything to displease
her. He )ms no children and is wrap
ped up in those domestic relations which
liis w ife alone affords him. Hut he used
to want to have a good fcimo away
from tho restraining influences of do
mestic matters about once a week.
“(.’ox used to got out of his houso at
night by a very novel and characteristic
excuse,” said oue of his old chums.
“When ho intended to make a night of
it ho would invariably go home at an
early hour, dress himself in his slippers
and smoking coat, crawl well down into
a comfortable chair, draw himself up in
front of tho grate, road to his wife and
congratulate himself in audible tones
on his ability to get away from the cares
of public life. He generally expressed
himself as not feeling first rate, ami
craw led into bed before 11 o’clock.
“About midnight tho crowd down at
the club, who were to enjoy the society
of the funny statesman, as per arrange
ment, would send ft delegate to Cox’s
residence. Ho would rap gently on the
door, and the statesman would com
plain bitterly at being disturbed, al
though he had been resting witli one eye
open and his mind bent on the good
time in waiting. He generally felt too
badly to go to the door, nud Mrs. Cox
would kindly consent to go herself. The
delegate from the crowd always wore a
very serious look, and spoke in a tone of
great importance and apprehension.
“He would tell Mrs. Cox that there
was a caucus on hand at which her bus
baud was to preside. He always depre
cated the fact that the business of
the caucus could not proceed unless her
husband was there, as no one could con
duct the proceedings without the infor
mation ho carried in his head. Cox
would first hear this statement and
would groan like a boy who has gored
himself with June apples. When Mrs.
Cox returned to bed and informed him
of what was wanted he appeared to be
in the greatest agony and would threaten
to resign his place in Congress if this
thing kept up. Then he would go to
the door with Mrs. Cox and beg like a
good fellow' to he let off’. But the m s
senger would be immovable, and Would
declare that his absence from the caucus
would entail untold inconvenience.
When Cox would dress himself, and in
going out of the house would experience
considerable discomforture in suppress
ing his laughter over the accomplished
manner in which the scheme w as worked.
“When he returned to the house in
time for breakfast next day his prolonged
absence would always be on account of
the lateness the hour at which the cau
cus adjourned and his dislike to awaken
tho good housewife.”

A notable gathering of women will be

ent at this international council repre
sentatives from France, Germany, Den

pected that among the half dozen from
Great Britain, Helen Taylor, the step
