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 troit Free Frees. 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 in transit. 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.

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 must be joking. ’ You .say : "Ay , 1 teil you the truth, lie joined thd churon.” Xueu they reply, “There is hope lor any of us if old Arkwright has become a Christian.” In other words, wj all admit that it is more difficult lor some men to accept the gospel than lor others. 1 muy oe addressing some who have cut loose irom churches aud Hibles an l Sundays and wno have at present no intention ot be coming Christians themselves, but just to see wuat is going ou.

If I should come at you to day with nn argument, you would answer me with an argument; if with sarcasm, you answer me with sarcasm, blow for blow, stroke for stroke, but when I come and 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 fast/ 7 “high livers,” “tree an 1 easy,” “hail fellows well met.” They are now paying in compound interest for troubles they collect ed twenty years ago. Home of you are try ing to escape, anl you will, yet very nor rowiy, “as with the skin of your teeth.” God and your own soul only know what tbs struggle is. Omnipotent grace has pulled °ut many a soul that wa«« deeper m tr mt.’e than you are. They line the beach oi heaVert. the multitude whom Go 1 has Pen ciled from the thrall of suicidal habits.

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 no bloom so sweet asthe flowenm| oH'hrist’s affections.

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.

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.

'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.

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.

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.

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.
