"You were beautiful at Evelyn Euttace, but as Evelyn Dorison yon are lovely." And young Eustace said: "And, father think John is to be complimented on his beauty too." . "Happiness and sweet content of mind are great beautifiers, Charley, my boy," replied Dorison laughingly. He advanced to greet an old man with white hair, keen, bright and restless eyes, who presented himself with a con torted face which Dorison knew, if- on lookers did not, was intended for a smile of gladness, and whose hands he grasped warmly, saying that his homecoming would not have been complete if he could not have grasped the hand of him to whom he owed the possibility of his happiness and prosperity. . the tan.

Sam Jones in Atlanta Journal, I have known for a long time that the biggest difference between my own preaching aud that of my breth' rea of the ministry is the difference in the subject we take and the aim of our bullets.- In fact, the best com' meutary I have bad on my preaching was given by a negro. After hearing me preach, he was asked by auother colored brother what he thought of Sam Jones. His reply was: Take Sam Jones in the Bible and be is no better than these other preachers, but take biro, outen de Bible and 'fore God he is the best preacher I ever heard. Really, you have to get out of the Bible to get at many people f this day,' It is an easy thing to criticize a preacher, call him names and make faces at him, but .the minister who determines to make full proof of his ministry must set his face like steel and shut both - eyes, and. go at it in spite of wind and tide, men and devils. The criticisms on a man's work is the best proof that he is doing some thing. A cemetery is never a subject of criticism only when it is to be en larged or improved or something else done out there. I believe that a minister of the gospel is not only a preacher, but is a citizen, with all the responsibility of citizenship upon him. And ' occasionally it may be necessary tn bis life's work that he show himself a man among men. A divine does not mean something not human, and if we preachers are still human beings, we may make mistakes, we may err sometimes, but until society reforms itself - add men shall live more honorable and truth ful in their business relatione, and members of the church shall keep more holy the vows they have made to God, I repeat the saying of the old prophet: 'Lay not thy band upon mine annointed one and ' do my prophet uo harm.' Sam P. Joiras. Lawers and Others in Congress. Atlanta Constitution. - ! The New Orleans Times-Democrat calls attention to the fact that the tendency in this country has lejn to turn over state and national legisla tion to the lawyers. There are very few lawyers in the British parliament, and they compose not more than 9 per cent of the French assembly. In this country, The Times Democrat says: The drift toward the lawyers has been steady for some year, and pos sibly reached its maximum in the last congress, since which time the opposition and agitation among the farmers have caused a reaction. The senate has long been a lawyers' club, and very little change has been accomplished in it. The last session it consisted of 65 lawyers and 17 rep representatives of all other in terests. In other words, although the lawyers constitute only one-fourth of 1 per cent of the population, they elected nearly 80. per cent of the senators. - The present senate shows only a slight improvement. It still contains 65 lawyers, but it has 23 of the other professions 7- merchants. bankers and capitalists, 4 manufac turers, 3 stock raisers and 1 doctor, farmer and minister. The agricul tural interests have certainly cause to complain here, with but a single representative in the senate. Coming to the hause, however, there is' a marked improvement. The lawyer, in the fifty-first congress numbered 203; today' there are 184; while the planters and farmers have increased from 33 to 76. The other classes were 61 in number last year and are 73 today 22 manufacturers, 20 mer chants, 8 journalists, 6 bankers and capitalists, 5 teachers, 5 doctors, and the rest stock raisers, real estate dealers, preachers, eta The change in the house from the fifty first to the fifty-second congress has been as follows: . Fifty-first Fifty second . Congress. Cougress. Lawyers Farmers , Oilier professions, It is true that the lawyers are still in great excesa; that they have a large majority in the house; but there has been an improvement during the year, and the American people seem to bereturning to the idea that it is not necesary to have lawyers to frame their laws for them. Undoubtedly, it is better to have men of various interersts; professions and classes in our legislative coun cila, but it is to be hoped that no man wilt be sent to congress simply be cause he belongs or does not belong to a certain interest. The final tests should be his honesty and capacity as a man and as a legislator When he comes up to these tests it makes little difference whether he is lawyer or a farmer, f 208 3-3 73 184 70 71 a Carriage Lengthens Men's TLIves.

It was a broad gash, extending from ear to ear. but a couple of bailiffs grabbed him. and prompt surgical aid was secured, which may save hia life.

St. Louis Republic ( To prove that tbe human family of three or four centuries ago had a childish want of common-sense, and that they were bound by an absurd devotion to forms and customs, we need but refer to a few of the re markable animal trials of the Six teenth Century. One of tbe most celebrated of these was a case tried in bavoy in 1515, when a suit was brought, in the name of the people, against the grasshop pers, which were then ravaging the country. A lawyer was found to undertake the defence of the insects, and the records, which are still ac cessible today, prove that he exhaust ed bis ingenuity in pleading their cause. Seeing that they could do nothing I better, and that the grasshoppers were fast laying waste the country, tbe magistrates agreed to formally deed them a large tract of country on condition that they would leave the remainder untouched. Tbe law yer took toe proposition under ad visement and spent several dayB looking over the proposed Canaan of his clients. He fiually returned to court and declared that 'bis clients could not accept the proposal, be cause tbe land offered tbem was an abandoned and sterile tract, produc ing little or nothing suited to their uses and susteuance.' Tbe court decided the case against the grasshoppers, " and they were 'ordered and commanded' to remove forthwith to the district set apart for them. They must have refused to obey the mandates of the court, for tbe records tell of a great famine in Savoy that year 'caused by tbe cease- lees warfare oi tbe grans jumpers against everything that God made green. . ' Hundreds of court records in France, Spain, Holland, Italy and Austria prove that animals were tried for all sorts of great and petty crimes up to within the last hundred tyeara.

"Lent" in II is to ry. New York Ledger. It is not generally known that Lent, the springtide fast of forty days end ing with Easter, owes its English name to the Anglo Saxon lencten. meaning 'spring.' In mediaeval times lencten became softened into lenlen. and then lent. According to some authorities, the fast was originated by the apostles of Christ, while others consider that it was originated by the early Chris tian church. Whatever the story of its origin, its object was to prepare church goers for the great anniver saries of Christ's crucifixion and res urrection. and its czsiod is supposed to have bec&ietermined by tbe dura- liop-forty days of Christ's fast in the wilderness. ' In the fourth century a sentiment arose in the Christian church favor ing tbe extension of tbe period. The Western branch of the church made tbe fast extend through fifty days. 'itlkiS. ju 715 the Western church fixed the beginning of the fast on 'Ash IFednesday, thus mak ing the period once more forty days. - There is considerable uncertainty regarding the nature of tbe obliga tion f the fast io tbe early church. But it ia supposed that until the last week of the period fasting was volun tary. On that week, early named 'Holy Week, it was obligatory, and the Council of Toledo, held in 616. forbade tbe us of flesh meat. Wine and oil were also prohibited, and in the Greek or tCastBra church are still prohibited on fast days. r Only a Lawyer Could Do It.

There were people rushing about, still engaged in the work c resggj and three or four of us were groan ing and takingon close by, but tha lawyer was in no wise rattled. He was evidently sinking, however, for his voice was much weaker as he said : 'Papers, cards and envelopes on the body to identify it by, and they'll telegraph my wife and ship mangled remains home by express.
