Ifow to Put Away Woolen Garments.
»
If the honsewifo is a good hygionist,
she has a great deal of wool in her do
main, because she knows better than
tongue can tell how necessary all wool
garments are to the preservation of
health in cold weather. Shereligiously
superintends the making, washing and
mending of these garments in all sizes
from those worn by paterfamilias to
tho miniature oncß affected by the ba
by, and when tho time of year comes
to put them away she hcatly darns
even tho very tiniest holes, folds the
garments smoothly and envelops them
entirely in cotton cloth, which she
snugly ties with a string. These tidy
rolls or bundles are then laid in a
trunk or chest, which is carefully
closed away from dust. Two or three
limes during tho summer the wools are
taken out and hung out in tho air,
after which they are carefully returned
to their cotton wrappings again,—De

The Cost of the Recent Strike.
According to an estimate made by
the Now York Recorder the great
strike in which the railroad and other
employes were recently engaged hass
cost fully 813,500,000 up to date. The
railroads, it is estimated, have lost
85,312,000, tho railroad employes
about 85,000,000, other wage-earners
about 81,150,000, the United Htates
government 81,000,000, the states for
militia service about 8760,000, “while
the Pullman employees, who had lost
about 8200,000 through their own
strike before Debs’ organization took
up the fight for them, hnve lost $200,-
000 more,' 1 These estimates do not
include several millions of dollars’
worth of perishable goods lost by delay

The Discovery of Glass.
There iB little or nothing known
with certainty in regard to the inven
tion or discovery of glass. Some of
tho oldest specimens are Egyptian, and
the ago of certain glass vossels made
by that people which arc now kept in
the British museum is believed to he
at least 4,194 years, dating back to the
year 2300 B. C. Transparent glass was
first used about 750 B. O. ; the credit
of this last discovery being given to
tho Phoenicians. Tho old story of its
accidental discovery is familiar: Mer
chants who were resting their cooking
pots on blocks of subcarbonate of soda
found glass produced by the union,
under heat, of the alkali and the sands
of tbo desert.— Ex.

On your face. Yon slide down oq tho side of

til the forked tongue of the Are begins to
lick the back of your hand, nnd you feel that
you mud fall, when one of the lifeboats
comes back, and the passengers say they
think they have room lor one more. Tho
boat swings under you ; you drop into it;
you are saved. 8o some men are pursued by
temptntioa until they are partially con
sumed, but alter all get off—“saved as by
Are.’* Hut I like the figure of Job a little
better than that of Paul, because the pulpit
has not worn it out, and I want to show you,
if God wilt help, that some men make nar
row escape lor their souls and are saved as
“with the skin of their teeth;”
It is as easy for some people to look to the
feross ns for you to look to tills puipit. Mild,
gentle, tractaole, loving, you expect tuein
to become (Jurist inns. You go over to ttie
store and say, “Grnudon joined the church
yesterday.” Your business comrades say
“Tnat is just wuat might have been expect
ed.” He always was of that turn of mind.
In youth this person wuom i describe was
always good. Ho never broke things. He
never iuughed when it was improper to
laqgh. At seven he couidsit an hour luouuroiq
perfectly quiet, looking neither to lue rignt
haud nor to tne left, but straight Into tue
eyes of the minister as though he Under
stood the whole discussion uuout the eternal
decrees. He never upset thiugs nor lost
them, He Aoaled into me kingdom of Go l
so gradually that it is uncertain just wueu
the matter was decided,
Here is another oucq who started in life
with m uncontrollable spirit, He kept the
nursery in uu uproar. His motuer found him
walking ou me edge oi the house root to see
It he could balance himself; There was no
horse he dared not ride* no tree he could not
climb-. His boyhood was a long series ot pro
dlcnuieuis , ins manhood was reckless ; -um
midUie very wayward. Hut now ue is con
verted, an.i you go over to the store and say,
“Arkw'rtgut joined me church yesterday.'
Your irieivls say . “It is not poasiole l lou

they reply, “There is hope lor any of us if

In other words, wj all admit that it is

knock at tho door of your heart you open it
and say, “Come Id, my brother, and tell mo
nil you know about Christ and heaven.”
Listen to two or three question*; Are yon
as happy as you used to be when you believed
in the truth of the Christian religion? Would
you like to have your children travel on in
the road in which you are now traveling?
You had a relative who professed to be a
Christian and was thoroughly consistent,
living and dying in the faith of the gospel.
Would you not like to live the same quiet
life and die the same peaceful death? I ro
ceived a letter sent mo bv one who has re
jected the Christian religion. It auyw: "[
am old enough to know that the joys and
pleasures of llfeare evanescent and to realize
the fast that it must be comfortable lu old
age to~believe in something relative to the
future and to have a faith in some system
that proposes to save. lam free to confess
that I would be happier if I could exercise
the simple and beautiful faith that is
possessed by many whom I know. lam not
willingly out of the church or out of the
faith. My state of uncertainty is one of un
rest. Sometimes I doubt my immortality
and look upon the deathbed as the closing
soene, after which there is nothing. What
shall Ido that I have not done. Ah, skepti
cism is a dark and doleful land ! Let me
that this Bible is either true or false. If
It be false, we are as well off as you , If it \>e
true, then which of us is safer?
Let me also ask whether your trouble has
not been that you confounded Christianity
with the inconsistent character ot some who
profess It. You are a lawyer. In your pro
fession there are mean and dishonest men. Is
that anything against the law? You are a
doctor. There are unskilled and contempti
ble men In your profession. Is that anything
against medicine? You are a merchant.
There are thieves and defrauders tn your
business. Is that anything against merchan
dise? Behold, then, the unfairness of charg
ing upon Christianity the wiokednoss of its
disciples.
We admit some of the charges against
those who profess religion. Some of the most
gigantic swindles of the present day have
been carried on by members of the church.
There are men in the churches who would
not be trusted for $5 without goo l collateral
security. They leave their business dishon
esties in the vestibule of the church as they
go in and sit at the communion. Having con
cluded the sacrament, they get up, wipe the
wine from their lips, go out aud take up
their sins where they let off. To serve the
devil is their regular work ; to serve God, a
sort of play spell. With a Sunday sponge
they expect to wipe off from their business
slate all the past week’s inconsistencies. You
have no more right to take such a man’s life
as a specimen of religion than you have to
take the twisted irons and split timbers tha i
lie on the beach at Coney Island as a speci
men of an American ship. It is time that we
drew a line between religion and the frail*
ties of those who profess it.
Again, there may be some ot you who, U
the attempt alter a Christian life, will have
to run against powertul paasious and ap
petites. Perhaps it is a disposition to anger
that you have to contend against, and per
haps, while in a very serious moot, yon
hear 5f something that makes you feel that
you ruuft swear or die. I kuow of a Chris
tian mat- wtio was once so exasperate l that
he said to a menu customer, ”1 cannot swear
at you myself, for I am a member of the
church, but it you will go down stair* my
partu<r in business will swear at you." All
your £ooi reso;iiiioas heretofore nave been
torn to tatter* by explosions of temptr.
jjtfW, tuere is no harm in Retting ma l if you
Luk-FHt m-ii at stOU VoJ need to Oridle
that we ought to be mad at. Thero Is no
harm in getting redbot it you only bring to
the forge that which needs hammering. A
man wno hr* no power of righteous indig
nation is an imbecile. Hut be sure Jt is a
righteous indignation aud not a petuUncy
that blurs au i unravels aud depletes the
soul.
There Is a large class of persons in midlife
Who have still in them appetites that werd
r.roused in early manhood, at a time whort
they prided themselves ou Doing a “little

compound interest for troubles they collect

In which the muscles are distended, an l the
veins start out, and the blood start*, the
swarthy habit falls under the knee of the
victor—escaped at last as with the skin of his
teeth.
In the last day ft will be found that Hugh
Latimer and John Knox nnd Huss and Rid-
Jey were not the greatest martvrs, but Chris
tian men who went up incorrupt from the
contaminations and perplexities of Wall
street, Water street. street, Broad
street, fkato street. Third street, Lombard
street and the bourse. On earth they wore
called brokers or stockjobbers or retailors or
Importers, bilt In heaven Christian heroes.
No fagots Wore heaped abortt their feet, rto
inquisition demanded from them recanta*
tiorl, nd soldier aimed a spike at their heart,,
but they had mental tortures, compared
with which all physical consuming is as the
breath of a spring morning.
I find in the community a large class of
men who have been so cheat ed, so lied about,
so outrageously wronged that they have lost
faith in everything. In a world where every
thing seems so topsy turvy they do not see
how there can be any God. They are con
founded nnd frenzied and misanthropic.
Elaborate argument to prove to them the
truth of Christianity or thetruthof anything
else touches them nowhere. Hear me, all
such men. I preach to you no founded
periods, no ornamental discourse, bttt I put
my hand ort yoUr shoulder and invite you
into the peace of the gospel; Here is a rdek
on which yoU may stand firm, though the
waves dash agaihst it harder than the At
lantic, pitching its sUrf clear above Eddy
stone lighthouse; Do not charge upon God
all these troubles of the World. As long as
the world stuck to God, God Stuck to the
world, but the earth seceded from His gov
ernment, and hence all these outrages arid
all these woes. Gdd is good; For many
hundreds of years He has been coaxing the
world to come back to Him; but the more He
has coaxed the more violent have men been
in their resistance, they have stepped
back and stepped back until they have
dropped into ruin.
Try this God, ye who havo had tho blood
houuds after you, ami who have thought
that God had forgotten you. Try Him and
see if He will not help. Try Hi*i and see if
He will not pardon. Try if He
will not save. The flowers of have

If there was any 6 liot to #6to
they would go. VVe t ear iiMniigent, conserva
tive* patriotic citizens talking that Way every
flay, intensified disgdatis the tinitefsal feeling.
Day after day, week after Wook, mOnth aftef
nion'h the people have been promised n lief.
Jrfct look back over tte newspaper files and see
the record of bw ken promises. Ev ry little while
some sanguine editor says that the country is
just tin tile <Ve of a period of unparalleled
prosperity, that the tariff bill will be passed in
a few days And the stagnant capitnl of the
country Wi 1 be turned loose And old wheels
will lie put in motion And new ohe; built, and
the country will awake fiom its long sieep.
I found a paper yesterday that was six months
old and it talked that way. Gorman—who
cares whether his infantile fe lings have been
lacerated or not, liis individuality is lost in the
distress of the millions. Pass the bill and doc
tor the feelings l iter.
The fact is, I wish there was anoth* r party—
a party after Ben Hiil’s kind that he foreshad
owed in his Chittenden letter—a party com
posed of conservative republicans and intelli
gent democrats—north and south. There was
a time when J. ffersonian democracy was some
thing to boast of, but net the spurioun kind we
have now. The old whig party would be a
godsend in these lawless limes. I wish that
wo “had it right now. I wish that Webster
and Clay and Calhoun were in the Uuited
States senate today. Then how small would
Gormaii appear? Dilt there Was comfort in
Datid B. Hill’s reply. He rose above bis own
resentments. He exhibited a hoble patriotism
and a high brder of sti’esmanship. Is it pos
sible that there are n6t two or three republican
t-enators who will elevate the country above
their party? Is it possible that a republican is
obliged to be a protectionist or nothing? Is
statesmanship altogether partisan? Are there
no middle-men, no peace-makers, no mug
wumps in congress? Are tlv re no great men
there, gnat and good like there used to ho in
the days of Berrien and Forsyth and Howell
W)bb and Calhoun ami John Bell and Gentry
and Nathaniel Men and Davis and Prenuss
and Clay and Crittenten andWt bster and Pearce
and Polk arid Wise and a host of others who led
their parties for their Country’s goo ? Did they
ever in times of great peril leave their seats
and go bottle to blend their fences and canvass
for rctttrning vo et? Were they t tor accused of
secret Speculation »m tariff bills or trusts or
subsidies?
The standard is lowered. The flag Is at ha’f
m*st. Statesmanship is at a discount and the
higluSt consideiatiou of the avei'A,o member
of congress is to have a returning hoard. Btlt
our hope and consolation is that thete are tome
good men there. We have some from Georgia
and Alabama and the other sontbern states,
good and true men, but not many. Maybe the
good Lord will siVo our country for their sake.,
If He would have saved Sodom f«>r the sake of
ten, maybe He will save ns. His mercy and
long suffering are wonderful and our good peo
{le everywhere can take comfort iu it. Sodom
aud Gomorrah were infinitely woise than our
worst cities and we have thousands of good
people where they oould not find ten. I know
good people all around me, both in town and in
country, good, kind-hearted, charitable, law
abiding people, and I love to think about them.
They m.ike no noise in the world, but they pur
sue the even t* nor of their way. I hey nurds!tr

I don’t unchri-fcian in modern
Romanism. I don’t believe in some of their
dogmas, but this is a land and an age of
religious liberty and thousands of good people
ire Roman Catholics. Parents are certainly
conscientious in trying to do wbat they think
is best for their children, and if a Roman
Catholic father wishes his children taught in a
school of that faith, it is his right and privil
ege. If he wishes to do homage to the Virgin
Mary, let him do it. The Romish church is the
mother of all tuo churches. When it got cor
rupt and intolerant some of its adherents re
belled and formed new societies and they grew
and prospered, «nd now their name is legion.
The old mother church was shorn of her
power and had to reform In r methods and it
no longer the dictator of kingdoms. No man
can make me fear the “secret, insidious ma
chinations” of the Romish church in this coun
try while such men as Put Walsh belong
to*it. I would trust Pat Walsh with every in
terest I have in good government and the re
ligious interest <f niv posterity. Y« s. trust
him far sooner than many of the bigots I know
in Protestant churches. 'J'hc Sisters of Chari
ty took my mother when she was a friendlies
orphan in Savannah, when the terrible scourge
had carried her parents to a single grave, and
the panic-s ricken peop'e were fl eing the
doomed city. They sheltered and oared for her
when no one else would, and she loved them
all her life. I never see them in the great cit
ies moving so quietly along the streets with
their dark gowns and modest hoods and kindly
faces but what 1 think or ttuir loving kind
ness to her who was all the world to me-
We have one hundred and fifty beautifully
bound hymn books in our church that wire
pr s uted by a north' rn lady. Th« book is the
standard “Lau los Domini” of the Presbyterian
church, and its hymns are regarded as the best
selection that has ever been made, and yet
many of the mast beautiful hymns were com
posed by Roman Cat hoi o • John Dryden, the
poet, laurta e of England, has hymns there,
and he w s a Roman Catholic. BohasJohn
Henry Newman, the car iml who wrote that
beau’ifnl hymn, “Lead K ndly Light” F. W.
Faber, who wrote, ‘’There is a Wideness in
God’s Mercy,” was a Catholic prU st Miss Ade
laide Proctor, another Roman Ca'holic, has
hymns in this bonk. The whole compilation
should teach us chrrity and tolerance. While
Watts and the Wesleys hare the largest num
ber of hymns, the Presbyterian authors are
very few! The Episcopal authors are the most
numerous of all. The Unitarians are well rep
resented, having such notable composers as
William Cullen Bryant, ami Mrs. Adams, who
who wrote “Nearer My God to Thee.” Even
Alice and Phoebo Cary’, who were Uuiversalists,
liaro hymns in there, and so has Tom Moorce,
who was of no church. It is the repentant,
grateful, loving heart that gives praise in song,
and it does not matter to what church the au
thor belongs if he sings in sincerity and truth.
There are six million Roman Catholics in the
United States, and this count includes the
children. There are ten million Protestants,
not counting ch il dren, who have not made
profession. The 1 ., why should we fear them?
Horn- of our a-xealous Protestants have

What Women’s Kxtravaganco Does.
It is always amusing to hear men
complain of the extravagance of women,
when, if it were not for this So-called
extravagance, manufacturers, jewelers,
merchants, importers, dress-makers,
furriers and milliners would have to
go out of the business. It takes an
army of trained artisans to get one
great lady ready for a ball. When
she is dressed from the tip of her satin
slippers to the topmost diamond in her
tiara, she is the product of a dozen
artistic trades and represents some of
the mightiest interests in commerce.
It was the demand of the fine things
of all women's adorning as well as the
sacrifice of one woman’s ornaments
that led to the discovery of the new
world. Extravagance in dress is only
extravagance when women spend for
their dress out of proportion to their
own or their husband’s incomes. The
woman of Wealth ought to spend of her
abundance in every direction. Com
paratively speaking the poor are a great
deal more extravagant than the rich.—
Boston Beacon.
On What Greatness Depends.
In the sight of God greatness does
not depend on the extent of our sphere
or on the effect produced, but on the
power of virtue in the soul, in the
energy with which God’s will is per
formed, the spirit ir> which trials aie
borne and the earnestness with which
goodness is loved and pursuod. Chan
