The Nev York Independent teaches a reverent demeanor in the house of God: — Reverence toward God requires a rev erent demeanor in the places where he is worshipped. Moses was bidden to take oli his shoes when ,God appeared in the bush: "for the place whereon thou stand- est is holy ground.” One may be cheer ful and speak kindly in the house of God, but one dots not want to be flippant or noisy or in any way irreverent In cburcb. Children should be taught reverence: and they will not learn this reverence if the hat is not reverently removed when one enter the doors, and the voice is not low ered. A visible expression of respect is not only seemly, but it cultivates the fee'- ins of respect and honor which one has for that which is worthy of it; and in fhe house of God it makes God himself seem nearer to us, present, indeed, in his, tem ple. He is really everywhere, but men are 60 made that they feel his presence belter ii Ihey associate it especially with some place where Ihey woiship Him- BREVITIES. ^Not long since we heard an old time preacher. Quaint, eccentric—sometimes even lidiculous— yet underneath all this, was true and genuine gospel truth. “Je sus Curist, and Him cruc.fied,” is the old, old story, and yet it is the only theme which can save the world. A missionary tells of some heathen con verts who were very particular in attend ing to their devotional duties. It was their custom to relirie to a grove for se cret prayer. Oue b came careless as to the performance of this duty, and the grass filled the path way leading to the place of prayer. A friend of his discov ered this, and warned him that neglect ol secret prayer was a road to a back-slid- den state. He was right. If we neglect the closet we are sure to back-slide. Don't neglect siciet prayer. Is there a home within your knowl edge, that is darkened by affliction? If so visit that home and carry with you the light of kind words and sympathy—not targeting to mingle your prayers with the aff.icted ones. Consecration is your duly. God will accept of the offering you make, if it is presented in honest sincerity. The duty that is just at hand is the one that should be attended to. Waiting tar an opportunity to do some great thing has often interfered with important.duties and the re: nits have been fatal. A leader in what is known as socio clea has said that the shams and bypecre- cies of the worldly men and women who compose that class—the hollow hearted and empty compliments and the] vapid pleasures in the social whirl—had disgust' ed him. A surrender to Christ and an humble endeavor to be his disciple would give relief to those in the trouble describ ed. If is God’s law io the naturaVworld that all'faculties and forces.ehall be developed by us. Our natural powers can only attain en largement by being employed. The very birds can only put sweetness and dearness into their notes by constant'cxercise. The same law bolds good in God’s kingdom The germ of grace In the |heart is one thing, the fulirounded, vigoious Christian is another. The one is God’s gift outright 1 be other is God’s gift io response to man’i f liilxfulness. »Tho one comes of faith without work?; the other comes of faith that works. Christian life is a service out of which comes'ch&iacter, manhood, like ness of God. It was just before our Lord went to the cross that he said, “I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.” was not until the axejof martyrdom gleam ed in tne apostle’s face that he said, “I have tiDished my course.” These utterances are significant. They imply earnestly faithful lives.* God’s kingdom is an Id cessant appeal to activity. There are id lers in the vineyard, but they are out of place. A whole chorus of ^voices joins the voice of God, until the whisper roils into thunder, saying to every man and woman in tlis Church: “Go work in my vineyard.” The Church is pre-eminently a working institution. And w&at large and constant opportunity! Think of your self. II »w little you know as yet of the kingdom and grace of God. How limited is your Christian experience. And yet all the gates of this multiform blessed life of Christ are open to you. How much ycu seed, before those about you can detect the image Divine. It takes work to produce the comely statue from the rude block. 80 in Cbris- tiuD # growth. Look about youl How many are dependent upon and will be in fluenced by you. The responsibility bas something sublime in it, and yet it is se. riou*. You are to help those up or down How eminently useful or harmful you may be. All depends on your faithfulness as Christian. Think bow short the time is! A few days, and every opportunity at band will be gone. Then, too, God’s love is some thing. It gave you a Savior; it offers you salvation, it holds open the white gates glory and bids you enter. Have you no response of Christian fidelity for all that? On all sides the appeal to diligence and faithfulness in the Christian moves toward me, with pleading, beseeching mieo, that I may be stirred to duty for God, my soul and the sonls of others.—Mid-Continent.

WHY CHARLIE LOST HIS PLACE. Charley was whistling a merry tune as be came down the road, with his hands in his pockets, his cap pushed back on his head, and a general air of good fellowship with the world. He was on his wov to apply for a posi tion in a stationer’s storejuial fce- vaa an xious to obtain, and in his pocket ware the best of references concerning his char acter for willingness ani houesty. He felt sure that there would not be much doubt of bis obtaining the place when he presented these credentials. A few drops of rain fell, as the bright sky was overcast with clouds, and he be gan to wish that he bad brought an um brella. From a house just a little way be fore him two little children were starting out for school, and the mother stood in the door smiling approval as the boy rais ed the umbrella and took the little sister under its shelter, in a manly fashion. ^Charley was a great tease, and like moBt boys who indnlge in teasing or rough practical jokes, be always took care to se lect tor his ‘victim some one weaker younger than himself. “I’ll bave some fun with those children,” be said to himBelf; aid before .Uey had gone veiy t •> u»wu tut-ioi' ts < uyt u; behind them ana sujtCoeJ i:» . bcl out of the boy’s hauus. Io vain the little fellow plaaded wit him to return it. Charley took ami c - ous delight in pretending 'bat he was going to break it or throw it over the fence; aud as the rain had slopped, be a maned bin sell in this way for some distance, making the children come after him and plead with him tearfully for their umbrella. Tired of this sport at last, he relinquish ed the u mb i el la as a carriage approacke 1 end leaving the children to dry their tea-s, went on toward the store. Hr. Meicer was not io, so Cnarley sai down on the steps to wait for him. An old gray cat was basking in the sun, Chat ley amused himself by pinching tin poor animal’s tail till she mewed pitifully and struggled to (scape. While he was enjoying this sport, Mr. Mercer drove up in his carrignge, and passed Cnarley on his way into the store. The boy released the cat, and tallowing the gentleman in respectfully pr d the references. “These do very well,” Mr. Mercer said returning the papers to Charley. “If had not seen some of your other refer, ences, I might have engaged you.” “Other reference*? Whvt do you meao sir?” asked Charley iu astonishment. “I drove past you this morning when you were on your way here, and saw you diverting yourself by teasing two little children. A little later a dog parsed you and you cut him with the switch you had in your hand. You shied a stone at a bird and just now you were delighting your self in tormenting another defenseless ani mal. These are the references that have decided me toheveuothiug to do with you I don’t want a cruel boy about me.” As Charley turned a'-'ay, crestfallen over bis disappointment, he deiciwiued that wanton cruelty, even though it seemed to him to be only “fun,” should not cost him another good place—Sunday School Times.

Some of the citizens and miners having learned that Mr. Winstead was to pass through the place, assembled at the depot and greeted him with cheers. The military commander had drawn his soldiers np in line at the depot, and when the citizens ceased cheering he had bis command give three cheers for Turney and- three groans for Bnchanan.

The Cotton Market. New York, Oct. 29.—Lehman Broth ers say: The Liverpool market is dull and easier, but would have advanced bnt for the speculators fearing strikes in the manufacturing districts.

A correspondent of a Sbanghi journal, writting from Kiukiau, on the Yangtte, mentions that be bas seen a sight which is not often seen even in China. This is man who has taken a vow to watch three yean at bis mother’s grave. The lady died at the end of last year and was buri ed, as usual on the sids of a neighboring bill in the family burying place. When the remains had been consigned to the earth the son declared that he would not leave the grave for three years, and so far be has been true’to his word. The neigh bora took upon themselves to provide for bi wants and a subscription list was start..» 10 oic-ils 136 pounds each of rice ng contributed by hit lelatiocs ai d thosi who knew him.

HILL I” IS-lGS He Says the Par y Does Not Nee d Po litical Renegades. Washington, Oct. 29.—Senator Hill is reported to have used the following language here. The reporter who quotes him, however, strangely forgets to give the name of the man to whom Senator Hill was talking when he grew so bit terly personal: “I am gliul you were pleased, and es pecially with that prt in which I paid respects to tin t venomous class of political hypocrites and mountebanks which seems to crop out in Pennsyl vania as well as in other states. I can not sufficiently emphasize in. words my contempt for this class of political rene gades, and as well for bolters and mal contents within the party. If Mr. Mac- Veagh were a patriot and an honest man, as he now claims to he, he would not have waited for 16 years to give ut terances to his belief that Mr. Tilden was honestly elected in 1876. Knowing that fact, as he alleges, and suppressing it all these years, while he was the ben eficiary of party favor, clearly shows, to my mind, that he is not of tho class of persons the Democratic party wants or should follow. “The Democratic party, rjid certainly the Ronnd Democrats; do not need a set of e-rotistic, self-landing npstarts to un dertake to tell them what to do. Every Democrat had made np his mind in No vember. 1876, that Mr. Tilden carried a majority of the electoral vote, and this MacVeagh was one of the people who joined in. the great political theft. “The Democratic party has prospered without him, and the mess this vainglo rious person has already made will do the Democratic party more injury than good. Our Irish friends are already in arms, and the more he explains the more he condemns himself. He should bB repudiated by the party for its own self-respect. It does not need him, and shonld not recognize him by listening, to his harangue. It is not Democracy.” In speaking of the outlook in New York, he said: “It is a very close fight. No one can tell, with a poll of over 1,- 200,000 votes with a margin on either side of 10,000 or 15,000, what the result will be. After the registration sheets have been completed some approximate idea may be formed as to wnat may be the outcome, but it is only guessing now.” Qeucats Women Or Debilitated Women, should use RADFIELO’S FEMALE REGULATOR.

Connellsville, Penn., Oct. 29.— Fierce mountain fires have been raging in the Chestnut Ridge and Laurel Hill mountain for the past two days. The long continued dry weather has added much to the danger of these fires, which occur annually about this time. The underbrush and leaves in the mountains are extremely dry, and the wind spreads the fire with great rapidity. Thousands of acres of Timber are being destroyed, and many of the homes of the farmers living in the mountain districts are in danger of being burned. If the cold weather sets in before the water supply is replenished by rain, the situation in Fayette and Somerset counties will be doubly distressing. It is calculated that forty-eight hours of continuous" rain'would be worth at least $500’,000 to the coke operators and people of the Connellsville region. The spring and wells have gone dry, and live stock is suffering for want of water. Nearly all the fences along the rail road lines have been burned. Many of the farmers have plowed np several fur rows around their ^houses and barns to prevent the fire reaching them. Much hay and grain in stack has been destroy ed, If the drouth continues another week at least 6,000 coke workers will be thrown out of employment.

Dfice. 140 to 1& Washington St,»K. L. Hopkins, A serious and almost fatal accident occurred at the residence of John Yar brough, at Silver Creek, in Floyd county Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Yarbrough were away from home at the time, and had left the children, among whom was a boy 12 years of age, to take care of the house until they returned. .While they were gone Claude Byars, the 12-year- old son of Zaok Byars went to the house to play with the children. The two boys got a 33-caliber pistol and began play ing with it. While Yarbrough’s son had the pistol in his hand it was accidentally discharged and young Byars was serio- u ly shot. The ball entered the right breast, passing through the body and ledging in the left aide. The result of the wound was still doubtful at last accounts.

Freddie tightened his hold on her hand encouragingly. “Don’t be afraid of them, Aunt Helen, he said. “Tliey won’t hurt us. The first time I came down here I was afraid of then). I didn’t dare to go behind them and I didn’t dare to go in front of then And I didn’t want to.go back and never g< through the pasture at all.
