A young lady was once deeply impress
ed with a go*p*-l sermon, and was ready to
cry out, "What must I do to be saved?”
when an uuliecomiug and jesting remark
made by a church member, as they retired
from the bouse of God most tfleclually dis
sipated her religious thoughts and serious
impressions.
Says the R-ligous Herald: “A young
man who was at church with bis parents
s deeply impn sseil by the sermon of the
minister, but on the way borne the father’
criticised the discourse, and made several
disparaging remarks about it As the
father was a mi mtier of the church, as
well as a kind father'iu the family, the ef
fect of his criticisms was that the serious
thoughts of the son were dissipated, and
the solemn lessons of the sermon entirely
lost ther power over the young man.
‘“As another instance, a Woman who
often criticised her pastor in the family,
saw her children growing up imliff rent in
the church and to religious things,and saiit
to her pastor with tears; ‘Doctor, can’t you
help me to save my bovsT ’Madam,’ * he
replied, T have no influence with v«ur

to heaven.

President Hnrrleen’s Ideas Adopted on
the Promotion of Clerks.
Washington, Dec. 26. — Pursuant to
the directions embraced in a letter from
the president to the head of each de
partment, dated Dec. 4,1891, the secre-
retary of the treasury has completed a
plan which will take effect on the 1st of
January, under which all promotions
in the treasury department will here
after be made on a basis of merit only,
and as the resnlt of a competitive ex
amination. These examinations will be
made by an examining board in the de
partment designated by the secretary
] and not by the civil service commission,

and, as a rule, each examination for a
promotion te any grade will be confined
to clerks on the next lower grade and in
the same office or burean.
As part ef. the plan thus adopted, a
dally report will be kept of the effi
ciency of each elerk by the chief of his
division, and in all examinations this
efficiency report will he the element of
chief weight. The efficiency record
will give the daily standing of each
clerk for punctuality, attendance, con
duct (including personal habita), accu
racy, industry, aptitude and general
This new departure, with which the
officials of the treasury department are
in full accord, is regarded as removing
all promotions from the domain of
political influence and official favor

the basis of merit.

THE MILK TURNED SOUR.
I will not tell you her name, but one
of the neighbors says that during her
brief visit the other day the milk turn-
id sour. Ht-r countenance looks a yard
long She sighs perpetually. The cloud
on her brow is deep. If beaten out
thin, I believe ir would cover the sky.
Her voice is doleful, and her eyes show
no radiance. Her wrinkles are num
berless. she is a sorry picture, and all
because she is the victim of one of those
complaints common to women. Her
-ystem is deranged. She needs a course
of self treatment with Dr. Pierce’s Fa-
voritu Prescription. This will eradi

riodical pains and functional weakness
s incident to her sex, and at the same
rime build up and invigorate her whole
system by its heaUli-impartiag influ
ence. A trial bottle will convince.
