It was every important thing that they should have a good dinner that day. Christ was hungry. and He did not often have a luxurious entertainment. Alas me! It the duty had devolved upon Mary,what a repeat that would have been. But something went wron in the kitchen. Perhaps the fire woul not burn, or therbreed would not bake, or Martha scalded her hand, or some. thing was burned black that ought only to have been made brown; and Martha lost her patience, and, forgetting the proprieties of the. occasion. with besweated brow, and perhaps with pitcher in one hand and tongs in the other, she rushed out of the. kitchen into the presence of Christ. saying, “ Lord, dost then not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? ” Christ scolded not a word. If it were scolding I should rather have His scolding than anybod else's blessing. There was nothin acer .

As Martha throws open that kitchen door I look in and see a great many house- hold perplexities and anxieties. First, there is the trial of non-appreciation. That is what made Martha so mad with Mary. The younger sister had no estimate of her older sister's fatigues. As now, men bother with the anxieties of the store and office and shop. or, coming from the Stock Ex. change, they say when theyv gal; home: “ Oh. you ought to be over in a street in these days ; you ought to be in our factory a little while ; you ought to manage ei ht, or ten, or twenty su rdinates. and t en you would know what trouble and anxiety '1.“ ” n nip tho un'QA nnfl flan mnthnr Inn: "are.” 0, sir, the wife and the mother has to conduct at the same time a university, a clothing establishment. a restaurant. a laundry, a library, while she is health oflieer, lice, and president of her realm. he must do a thousand things and do them well in order to keep things going smoothly. And so her brain and her nerves are taxed to the utmost. I know there are house- kee are who are so fortunate that the can sit n an armchair in the library or ie on the belated pillow and throw off all the ears upon subordinates, who. having large wages and great experience, can attend to all the cares of the household. Those are the exceptions. I am speaking of the great mass of housekeepersâ€"the woman towhom life is astruggle. and who at 30 years of age look as though they were 40. and at 40 look as though they were 60, and at 50 as though they were 60. The fallen at Chalons. and Austerlitz. and Gettysburg. and Waterloo are a small number oom- pared to the slain in the great Armageddon of the kitchen. You go out to the eemeter and you will see that the tombstonesal read beautifully poetic. but if those tombstones would speak the truth 'ifl.

The weapon with which she was slain was a broom, or e. sewing-machine o: a. ladle." You think.0 men of the world! that on hove all the cues and anxieties. I the cares and anxieties of the household should come upon on for one week you would be a fit omdi ate for Bhomingdaleâ€"J mew lame asylum. The half-rested housekeeper eneee in the morning. S_he muet have the morning repast prepared at an irrevocable hour. What if the fire will not light? What if the marketing did not come? What if the clock has stopped ‘?â€"no matter she must hs've the morning repeat at an irrevocable hour. Then the children must be got off to school. what if their garments were torn ‘2 what it they do not know their lessons? What it they have lost a hat or sash ?â€"they must be ready. Then you have all the diet at the day, and perhaps of several days, to plan. But what if the butcher has sent meat unmssticsble, or the grocer has sentwtiolee of food sdnlterated, or what if some piece of silver be gene. or some favorite chalice be cracked. or the roof leak, or the plumb- ing fail, or any one of a thousand things occur-4you must be ready. Spring weather comes, and there. must be a revolution in the family wardrobe, or autumn comes, and you must shut out the northern blast. But what it the moth has freceded you to the chest? What if dur- ng the ,year the children have outgrown, the apparel of last year? What it the' fashions have changed? Your house must be an apothecary’s shag; it must be a dies pensary; there must e medicines for all sorts of ailmentsâ€"something to loosen the crcup, something tcocol the burn,some- thing to poultiee the inflammation, semen thing to silence the jumping tooth, some- thing tc soothe the earaohe. You must be in half a dam places at the same time; If under; all this wear and tear of life Martha makes an impatient rush upon the ,library or drawing-room,*be patient, b‘e Eleiiient.‘ 0 women! though I may fail to stir siren appreciation in the souls, of others in regard to your household toils, let: ine assure you from the kindliness; with which Jesus Christ met martha that He a’p‘pre- ciates all your work from garret to cellar, and that the God of Deborah, and Hannah, and Abigail. and Grandmother Lois, and Elizabeth Fry, and Hannah Moore is the God of the housekeeper. Jesus was never. married, that He might be the especial friend and confidant of a whole world of troubled womanhood. I blunder; Christ was married. The Bible says that the Church is the Lamb’s wife. and that makes me know that all Christian women have a right to go to Christ and tell Him of their annoyances and troubles, since by His oath of con- stant fidelity He is sworn to sympathize. George Herbert, the Christian poet, wrote two or three verses on this subject: 1 The servant by this clause Makes drudgery divine ; Who sweeps a room as for Thy laws Makes thus the action fine. Again, there is the trial of severe econo- my. Nine hundred and ninety-nine house- holds out of the thousand are subjected to it, some under more and some under less stress of circumstances; especially if a man smokes very expensive cigars and takes veg costly dinners at the restaurants. he} wi be severe indemanding domestic eco- nomies. This is what kills tens of thousands ‘ of womenâ€"attempting to make five dollars; do the work of seven. How the bills come? in l The woman is the banker of the household ; she is the president, and cashier, and teller, and discount clerkâ€" and there is a panic every few weeks. Thin thirty years’ war against high prices, this perpetual study of economies, this lifevlong attempt to keep the outgces less than the income, exhausts millions of housekeepers. 0 my sister! this is a part of divine disci- pline. If it were best for you, all you would have to do would be to open the front windows and the ravens would fly in with food; and after you had baked fifty times from ,the barrel in the pantry, the barrel, like the one of Zarepath, would be full; and the shoes of the children would last as long as the shoes of the Israelites in the wilderness, fort ears. Besides that, this is going to ma e eaven the more attractive in the contrast. They never hunger there,and consequently there will be none of the nuisance of catering for appetites, and in the land ct the white robe they never have to mend anything, and the air in that hill country makes everybody well. There are no rents to pay ; every man owns his own house, and a mansion at that. . It will not be so great a change for you to have ‘a chariot in heaven it you have been in the habit of riding in this world. It will not be so great change for you to sit down on the banks of the river of life if in this world you had a country 1seat. But it you have walked with tired feet in this world, what a glorious change gto mount celestial equipages ; and it your life on earth was domestic martyrdom, ‘ohl the joy of an eternity in which you ‘shall have nothin to do but what you ,ohoose to do. Mart a has had no drudgery ‘ior eighteen centuries. I quarrel with the ‘ theologians who want to distribute all the thrones of heaven among the John Knoxes and the Hugh Latimers and the Theban Legion. Some of the brightest thrones of heaven will be kept for Christian house- keepers. Ohl what a change from here to thereâ€"from the time when they put down the rolling-pin to when they take up the sceptre. I! Cateworth Park and Stewart's mansion, on Fifth avenue, were to be lifted into the celestial city they would be con- sidered uninhabitable rookories, and glori- fled Lazarus would be ashamed to be going in and out of either of them. There are many housekeepers who could get along with their toils if. it were not for sickness and trouble. The fact is, more than one-half the women of the land are more or less invalids. The mountain lass who has never had an ache or pain may consider household toil inconsidereble, and toward evening she may skip away miles to the fields and drive home the cattle, and she may, until 10 o‘clock at night, fill the house with l ughing racket. But oh! to do the work of lie with worn-out constitution, when the whooping cough has been raging for six weeks in the household, making the night as sleepless as the day, that is not so easy. Perhaps this comes after the nerves have been shattered by some bereavement that has left desolation in every mom of the house, and set the crib m the garret because the occupant ‘ thing‘sweetened with ordinary condiments, ‘ I or flavored with ordinary flavors, or baked “1:1 ordinary ovens. It is the loaf of domes- : 'o hapginess, and all the ingredients come down rem heaven, and the fruits are lucked from the tree of life, and it is -‘ w'eete‘ned with the new wine 0! the king- dom, and it is baked in the oven of home \trial. Solomon wrote out' of . his own experience. He had a wrecked home. A man cannot be happ with two 7 wives, much less ‘wj ~six hundred ; and he says, writing of his lown experience,‘ ‘ Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a stalled ex and lhatred therewith.” How great are the :responsibilities of housekeepers. Some- ‘times an indigestible article of food by its “effect upon a commander or king has defeated an army oroverthrown an empire. Housekeepers, by the food they amide, by the couches they spread, by the oks they introduce, by the influences they bring around their homes are deciding the physi- cal, intellectual, moral, eternal destiny of the race. . You say your life is one of sacri- fice. I know it. But, mysisters,that isthe ‘ only life worth livin . That was Florence 1Nightingale's life, t at was Payson’s life, ‘that ,was Christ’s life. We admire it in others, but how very hard it is for new cultivate it ourselves. When young Dr. Hutchinson. having spent a whole night in a diphtheretic room for the relief of the patient, became saturated with the poison ‘ and died. we all felt as if We would like to put garlands on his grave. Everybody appreciates that. When in the burning hotel at St. Denis a young man on the fifth story broke open the door of the room where his mother was sleeping and plunged in amidst smoke and fire, crying, “ Mother, where are you?” and never came out, our hearts -applanded that young man. But 'how few of us have the Christ-like spiritâ€" a willingness to suffer for others. A rough teacher in a school called upon a poor, half-starved lad who had offended against the laws of the school, and said, " Take off your chat directly, sir.” T 9 boy refused to take it off, whereupon the teacher said again, “Take 05 your coat, air," as he swung the whip through the air. The boy refused. It was not because he was afraid of the lashâ€"he was used to that at homeâ€"but it was from shame. He had no undergarments. and as at the third com- mand he pulled slowly off his coat, there went a sob all through the school. They saw then why he did not want to remove his coat. and they saw the shoulder-blades had almost out through the skin. And a stout, healthy boy rose up and went to the teacher of the school and said; “ Oh, sir, please don’t hurt this poor fellow; whip me; see, he‘s nothing but a poor chap ; don’t you hurt him, whip me." "Well," said the teacher, “ it’s lfitzling to he a severe whipping. I am wi ' g to take you as a substitute.” “ Well," said the boy, “ I don’t care ; you whip me, if you won’t let this poor fellow go." The stout, healthy boy took the scourging without an outcry. “ Bravo 1" says‘ every man. Bravo 1 How many of you are willing to take the scourg- ing, and the suffering, and the toil, and the anxiety for other people ? A beautiful thing to admire, but how little we have of that spirit. God, give us that self-denying spirit, so that, whether we are in humble spheres or in conspicuous spheres, we may perform our whole duty, for this struggle will soon be over. has been hushed into a slumber which needs no mother's lullaby. 0h! she could govide for the whole group a great deal tter than she can for part of the up. now that the rest are gone, the you may tell her God is taking ears 0 those that are one.

There is nothing but the old-fashioned religion of J eeus Christ that will take a woman through the trials 0! home life. At first there may he a romance or a novelty that will do for a substitute. The marriage hour has just passed. and the perplexities of the hour are more than atoned by the joy of being together, and by the fact that when it is late they do not have to discuss the ques- tion as to whether it is time to go.

She worked very hard, and when we would come in from summer play and sit down at the table at noon, I remember how she used to come in with beads of perspiration along the line of grey hair and how sometimes ehe woujd eit_down at thejahle 1mg pug her head against her wrinkled hand and say: “Well, the factis, I am too tired to eat.” Long after she might have delegated this duty to others she would not be satis. fled unless she tended to the matter her- self. In fact, we all preferred to have her do so, for somehow things tasted better when she prepared them. Longaiterwards in the express train I shot set the old homestead. I looked out o the window and tried to peer through the darkness. While I was doing so one of my old school. mates. whom I had not seen for many years. tapped me on‘the shoulder and said: “DeWitt, I see you are looking out at the soenes of your boihood.” "Oh, yes,” I replied, " I was loo ing out at the old place where my mother lived and died." I‘hat night in the cars the whole scene came back to me. There was the country home. There was the noonday‘ tableâ€"there were the children on either side of the table, most of them gone never to some hsck. At one end of the table. my father with a smile that never left his countenance even when helay in his coffin. It was an 86 years‘ smile, not the smile of inanimationubut of Christian courage and of Christian hope. At the other end of the table was 9. beautiful. boniguaut. hard- WOrking. aged.

In the face of the precipice is, first, a surface of solid ice; upon this foundation is a layer of tail two or three feet thick and bearing luxuriant vegetation; a little beyond this the bank rises again by a second layer of ice, on which rests soil yielding. like the first, a vegetable growth. A very interestingfoase of circumstantial evidence recently came before a French assize court, where the detectives had woven a beautiful net around a man whom they made out guilty of a burglary by tracing his footprints through the mud a distance of eight or nine miles. Unforâ€" tunately, at the trial, though the boots fitted the prints to a charm, there was found to be an extra nail in the heel of one, so that as the prosecution could not under- take to prove that he had hopped eight miles on ‘ one foot, the prisoner was acquitted. King Theebaw. of Bermsh, had a narrow esosge from death bi poison.

The eggs were on 9. table in the corner. and were forgotten. Some days after I saw one 0! the eggs moving, and slightly chipped. Presently out came a little owlet. The other eggs followed suit, till they werejell hatched. This may seem impossible to any one who had not lived where the thermometer is generally 105 degrees." - Captain Amos Shirley, the fallen oom- mander of the Salvation Army in Phila- delphia, could keep a congregation together during a meeting nine hours long. and that was taken as proof of his greatness as an evangelist. Under his guidance the army prospered, growing rapidly in numbers, and getting all the financial aid that was needed. In the midst of one of his exhor- tations a young girl burst into tears. He asked her to step forward, and a pretty woman, scarcely 20 years of age and richly dressed, went to the platform and begged the preacher to pray for her. She was almost in hysteries, and wished to be received into the Salvation Army. Shirley. fighting grimly at the bright colors in her nnet, commanded her to take it ofi. She obeyed. and fell on her knees before the assemblage to receive the red crown of the army.

These papers have reached Mr. Pinkerton at Boston. Marvin's history has been traced back several years b3; Detective Pinkerton. and up to to it is known that within six years he has married ten wives and defrauded as many banks.

On July 11th he had married a ‘Mrs. NeflieDe Hart, of Lakewood, N. J., and borrowed 8100 from her father. A year ago he married a lady living in Youngs- town, Ohio. He also married another woman in New Jersey, and still another in' Missouri; and a lady living in Philadelphia writes to Mr. Pinkerton that she was de- ceived by and married him some years ago. About six years ago he married two young ladies in New York, and Mr. Pinkerton at that time was on his track, but the friends of the women refused to prosecute him.

A full set of forger's and counterfeiter’s tools was found in his trunk. A forced picture was taken of him at that time, which has been identified by all parties interested.
