mouth  was  as  hlack  os  a  crow.  Then  he  can  led 
him  Inside  and  stood  him  on  the  table  and  sat 
down  hclore  him, 
"  How  old  are  you,  Blbhs?" 
He  thought  It  better  to  hc^n  the  conversation 
with  a  question. 
“  Five  and  a  half.  Is  that  your  sword  up  there  ?’ 
“Yes.  Who  gave  you  those  bron/e  shoes, 
Bibbs?” 
Now  he  knew  that  Jenide  had  given  them  to 
him,  but  he  so  wanUjd  to  licar  her  name. 
“Auntie.  Hhe’s  going  away  soon,” he  added. 
“  l.et  me  look  at  your  sword  now,” 
“  Where  Is  she  going  to  7”  lie  asked,  In  conster¬ 
nation. 
“  Devonshire.  Do  let  mo  try  on  your  sword. 
•'Why  Is  she  going  7”  ho  a.sked,  with  a  sick  feel¬ 
ing  at  his  heart. 
“She’S  ill,  I  think;  and  she’s  always  co’lng 
now.  one  day  she  was  crying  over  the  silver 
thing  you  gave  her  and  kissing  It  like  anything. 
The  “  sliver  thing”  was  a  little  heart  of  about 
the  size  of  a  shilling,  which  ho  had  bought  at 
CharlUjii  Bair  hust  October  and  timidly  requested 
hor  to  accept, 
,Tohn  Wearc  jmnped  up  and  showed  Bibbs  his 
sword  and  ciirrlwl  him  on  his  back  all  over  the 
l.laco  and  cntrea1x?d  him  to  have  more  black  cur- 
nants,  in  his  delight.  But  Bibbs  declined. 
"Aunt  Jennie’s  going  to  bring  mo  some  from 
Kltham  to-night.”  ,  .  ,  , 
.So  Jennie  was  going  to  Kltham,  was  she  7  John 
Wearc  took  Bibbs  home,  and  on  his  way  presented 
him  with  a  white  woolly  lamb  that  moved  on 
wheels  and  aquoaked  and  a  monkey  that  went  up 
a  stick  on  being  gently  pushed. 
“Crying  over  her  silver  thing!”  said  .Tohn 
Wearc.  “  111  go  and  b.ang  about  the  Kltham  road 
till  I  see  hor  and  beg  her  pardon.” 
And  he  went  and  Jennie  mot  him  and  pouted 
and  declared  she  hadn’t  once  thought  of  him  and 
then  broke  down  and  cried.  And  John  bogged 
her  pardon  and  declared  that  he  had  been  a 
hoartlcsa  bruU>;  and  ihen  Jennie  contradicted 
hUn  and  said  It  was  all  her  fault,  and  tnld  him 
how  Mrs.  Dunlop,  the  colonel’s  wife,  had  one  day 
walked  in  and  tnld  her  in  the  kindest  posJJlblo 
manner  that  she  wa-s  spoiling  her  sister's  busi¬ 
ness,  for  the  ladles  who  had  been  mterestod  in 
her  welfare  kept  away  on  account  of  Jennie’s 
nirtlng  iiropensiUes,  which  filled  up  the  shop 
with  Idle  oOl'-'ers  who  were  alway.s  In  the  way  ; 
and  how  she  had  h(!cn  so  ashamed  and  wretched 
and  so  cut  up  at  the  descrtlou  of  John  Weare,  t.hat 
she  hod  dol-ormlhed  to  go  bimk  to  Dovoushtre, 
“  But  .vou  won't,  uow  7”  he  said,  as  they  loaned 
over  the  stile  leading  to  the  KUJnvm  fields.  ’•  You’ll 
get  ready  at  once  and  wo’U  be  marrlo'.!  as  soon  as 
possible,  before  the  fruit  In  t  he  garden  Is  spoUod  7" 
It  took  a  long  time  for  him  to  talk  her  Into  It— 
about  three-quarters  of  aji  hour;  but  then  sho 
was  very  happy  at  heart  and  eJiatted  like  a  young 
magpto,  and  told  John  how  she  had  snubbed  Cap¬ 
tain  Medeo  and  had  thrown  all  his  flowers  out  of 
the  window. 
“  And  It  really  tvas  all  through  that  dear  Bibbs 
that  you  waylaid  me  to-.ulght?”  she  asked. 
“  Certainly.” 
“  Why,  hut  for  him  I  might  never  have  seen  you 
again.” 
“  Perhaps  not.”

Tjieke  are  books  which  are  constructive  and 
books  which  arc  d('.structlve  —  books  which,  If 
they  pull  down  nne  cherished  faith,  ijroffcr  what 
Is  believed  to  be  a  bettor  one,  and  books  which 
simply  deny,  asserting  only  tlio  everlasting  No. 
Such  U  the  work  under  notice.  The  writr'r  Is  the 
rabhl  of  a  prominent  Jewish  congregation  at  Al¬ 
bany,  N.  Y.,  and  as  Jewish  theological  works  are 
ratbiT  scarco-ut  least  wit  h  us— we  read  the  work 
carefully,  but  ended  It  with  a  feeling  of  Intense 
disappointment. 
It  Is  not  within  t  he  province  of  this  paper  either 
to  attack  or  defend  any  system  of  theology,  and 
wc  must  confine  ourselves  mostly  to  a  statement 
of  his  views,  v\ni.h  brief  comment,  that  our  readers 
may  learn  what  an  educated  Jew  really  does  be¬ 
lieve  Iti. 
He  traces  the  vitality  of  the  Jewish  raccto  their 
“  Messianic  Idea.”  We  doubt  whether  that  is  the 
true  name  for  the  “Idea"  that  w  most  powerful 
in  sw.aylng  the  Jewish  mind  and  would  suggc.st 
thiit,  It  the  thought,  bo  a  true  one,  ho  ha.H  not 
probed  It  to  ll»  depths.  They  boUovc  they  are  to 
be  the  saviours  of  the  world,  ho  says;  yet,  what 
have  they  done,  since  Christ  was  born,  to  save  It  7 
Hero  and  there  many  have  arisen  and  made  them¬ 
selves  famous  among  men.  but  the  muss  have 
only  a  pliysleal  vitality,  and  because  of  smaller 
numbers  and  a  poni-tiv^  to  proselj  t- 
lug-re:usal  U)  become  the  saviour  our  autb'ir  saj’s 
they  believe  t  hey  are  to  be — without  iniluence  on 
the  mcMinl  condition  of  the  world.  Nor  do  we 
perceive  any  liidlc.al.lou  tliat  cither  by  Increase  of 
numbers  or  intelligence  they  ever  will  have  In¬ 
fluence— or  that  they  have  desired,  or  do,  or  will 
desire;  such  InllucnCe. 
Asserting  the  might  of  the  Idea  of  a  crtiiiiuo 
Messiah.  Im  r.isolutoly  slmm  hls  eyes  Uj  the  far 
grander  rctsiilts  following  a  belief  in  the  Messiah 
that  fies  come.  Asserting  the  obscurity  of  ('ukist'.s 
birtb  aud  the  laslgnulcanoe  of  hls  first  followers, 
he  sees  nothing  wondcrluJ  In  the  millions  tvho 
now  believe  in  hhu.  Jewish  history  has  nothing 
U’Ke  It.  ’t  he  people  who  received  the  law  from 
stnal  were  many  tlrnes  more  Tiumerotw  than  the 
think  it  will  unsettle  Christians;  If  it  should,  he 
offers  no  substitute  for  ilbrtstlanlty.  Ills  last  low 
words,  asserting  that  Chrlsllanlty  la  being  ab¬ 
sorbed  by  HeatbenlsjQ,  are  only  an  illustration  of 
wliat  absurdities  “  scientific”  men  can  be  guilty 
of.  There  are  no  facts  to  prove  this  now ;  doubt¬ 
less  they  can  be  Invented  when  needed. 
Two  Yi-nra  in  Cnlifornin.  _  By  Mahv  Cone. 
(8vo.— pp.  sa;  iiriue,  .‘iil.a’j.;  Chicat-o:  H.  t  .  OriKgs 
&  Co. 
The  author thu-s  vigorously  cites  the  evidence 
of  her  Knpartlallty “  There  has  been  much  that 
wius  partial  and  untrue  written  Iti  regard  to  Cali¬ 
fornia.  The  writer  lays  no  claim  to  infallibility, 
but  does  claim  that  diirlng  two  years  spent  In 
California,  sbc  made  an  honest  effort  tosce  things 
as  they  really  were  and  has  tried  to  desv^rlbe  them 
as  t  hey  appeared.  Bought  up  by  no  corporation, 
never  dead-headed,  protected  by  Insignificance 
from  all  ovations  whalsoever,  there  was  nof  lilng  , 
to  cast  a  glamour  over  the  eyes  or  bias  the  judg¬ 
ment  except  so  far  as  the  loving-klndnes-S  of 
friends  brought  content  to  the  heyirt  and  opened 
pleasanUT  and  fuller  facilities  tor  seeing  and 
knowing." 
With  this  principle  In  \icw  ihe  atithor  has  pro¬ 
duced  rather  a  remarkable  book  than  otherwise — 
r<;markable  for  a  woman.  It  eontnlns  a  mass  of 
sDUlsUca  which  are  so  Interwoven  with  Interest¬ 
ing  facts  and  pheasant  rea<llng  as  to  lose  all  their 
dryness.  No  one  who  reads  the  work  carefully 
can  fall  to  have  an  e.xccUent  IdCJi  of  both  the  ad¬ 
vantages  and  disadvantages  of  a  re.sldeuce  In  Cal¬ 
ifornia,  which  hi  (o-dOiV  a  comparatively  unknown

HINTS  FOR  THE  TRAVELING  SEASON. 
At  this  8oa.son  many  persons  contemplate  trav-  , 
cling;  to  do  so  with  tho  largest  amount  of  com¬ 
fort  and  odvantage— physical,  social  and  mejital 
— t,he  following  suggestions  are  made : 
T.akc  ono  fourth  more  money  than  your  actual 
esilmated  expenses. 
Acquaint  yourself  with  the  geography  of  the 
route  and  region  of  travel. 
Have  a  good  suptily  of  small  change,  and  have 
no  bill  or  piece  higher  than  ton  dollars,  that  you 
may  not  talco  countcrfelL  change. 
Ho  arrange  a.s  to  have  but  a  single  article  of 
luggage  1o  look  after, 
l)rcs.ssubsUaUaIly.  Bettor  to  be  too  hot  for 
two  or  throe  houi's  at  noon  than  to  he  cool  lor  the 
remainder  of  Urn  twentj  -fonr. 
Arrange,  under  all  circumstances,  to  ho  at  the 
place  of  starting  fifteen  or  twenty  minutes  before 
the  time,  thus  allowing  for  miavoldable  or  unan¬ 
ticipated  detention  on  the  way. 
Do  not  commence  a  day’s  travel  before  break¬ 
fast,  even  If  that  has  to  he  eaten  at  daylight. 
Dinner  or  supper,  or  both,  can  he  more  healthily 
dispensed  with  than  a  good,  warm  breakfast. 
But  your  purse  and  watch  In  your  vest  pocket 
and  all  under  your  pillow,  aud  you  will  not  be 
likely  to  leave  either. 
The  best  it  not  entirely  secure  fastening  of  your 
chamber  door  Is  a  bolt  on  the  inside :  It  there  Is 
none,  lock  tho  door,  turn  the  key  so  that  It  can  he 
di'awn  partly  out,  and  put  the  wash-basin  under 
It ;  thus,  any  attempt  to  use  a  Jimmy  or  put  lu 
another  key,  will  push  it  out  and  cause  a  racket 
among  the  crockery,  which  will  be  pretty  sure  to 
rouse  the  sleeper  and  rout  tbo  robber. 
A  sixpenny  sjiudwlch  eaten  leisurely  in  the  cars 
Is  bettor  for  you  than  a  ilolUar  dinner  bolted  at  a 
“  station.” 
Take  with  you  a  month’s  supply  of  patience  and 
always  think  thirteen  times  before  you  reply  once 
to  any  supposed  rudeness,  insult  or  Inattention. 
Do  not  suppose  yourself  dpeclally  and  designedly 
neglected  If  waiters  at  hotels  do  not  bring  what 
you  call  for  lu  double  quick  time ;  nothln'g  so  dis¬ 
tinctly  Juarks  the  well-bred  man  as  a  quiet  wait¬ 
ing  on  such  occasions ;  passion  proves  the  puppj . 
had  percrlved  and  rcall/ed  it? 
j'ossesslng  a  spirit  of  .‘W'W’nY(/lc  research- the 
usual  euphemism  for  universal  skepticism— and 
soemlug  to  forg-et  (wo  all  of  us  do  forget  at  times) 
how  much  the  prejudices  of  hlsAvholellfe  uulltted 
him  for  a  fair  judgment,  he  eagerly  strikes  hands 
with  the  (Joruian  raiionallst  Htbais.s,  who  once 
boasted,  “we  have  lelv.anccd  from  knowing  a 
little  about  ctiKisT  t/1  knowing  nothing,  ”  and 
does  not  perceive  that  he  has  Joined  hliu.self  to  a 
company  who  will  take  the  argument  h(juscs 
aj\d  turn  them  against  hls  tullh — ^saylng  thesu- 
pernatunvllsm  he  denies  In  ciikibt  is  as  absurd  In 
MosKS— that  If  the  miracles  of  Cukist  lock  evi¬ 
dence,  so  do  t  hose  Jcwl.sh  history  Is  full  of.  While 
to  the  CuHtsn.iN  he  Is  an  unbeliever,  the  school 
he  has  JolU(!dsa'.ier  at  his  credulity. 
As  was  to  ho  expected  of  a  man  so  trained  and 
using  such  teachers,  our  author  hnOs  nolUlug  re¬ 
markable  in  the  UIc  of  cubist.  JosEvufs  docs

writers  do,  it  Is  of  no  coiascMiuence.  He  cannot

yet,  even  If  wo  reji'ct  supernaturalism  aud  read

It,  aud  we  once  heard  an  Intidel  say,  “  If  the  gos¬ 
pels  are  true,  Ihoj’  reveal  a  wonder ;  If  not  true, 
who  could  have  dovlsed  a  character  so  Impossible

was  content  to  wonder  at  the  lie  rather  tlmn  ao- 
eu[tl  the  trutU.  Our  author  fluds  nothing  super¬ 
natural  In  Cuuist’s  miracles.  He  secs  maiwelous

cured.”  He  does  not  perceive  that  faith  still  has 
power,  tor  men  iirc  men  still.  He  sees  nothing

Once  fragrant,  fresh  and  fair,

FAITHFUL  MEETS  SHAME. 
ctirisi inn.— yioi  you  with  nothing  else  lu  that 
valley  7 
F/kIA/i/L— Yes,  I  met  with  .‘'hnme;  but  of  all  the 
men  that  I  met  with  on  my  pilgrimage,  he,  I  think 
hears  the  wrong  Jiamc.  The;  other  wouUl  bo  said 
nay,  after  a  little  argumonlallou,  and  somewhat 
cLhc;  but  this  l)ald-fai'ed  Shame  would  ucver  have 
done. 
(■/,,'._Why,  what  did  lie  say  to  you? 
fait?i.—W\uiV!  why  he  objected  against  religion 
Itself.  He  said  It  W!i»  a  pitiful,  low,  sneaking  busi¬ 
ness  for  a  man  to  mind  religion.  Ho  said  that  a 
tender  comscloncG  was  an  unmanly  tiling ;  and 
that  lor  a  man  to  w.iteh  ov(;r  hls  words  and  wa,vs, 
so  ail  to  tie  up  hlmaclf  from  Unit  hectoring  llhoriy 
that  the  brave  spirits  of  the  times  acr.'uatom  them¬ 
selves  unto,  would  m.ake  him  tho  ridicule  of  the 
times.  He  objected,  also,  that  but  few  of  the 
mighty,  rl'  h  or  wise  wei  o  of  my  opinion ;  nor  any 
of  Lheiu  neither,  before  they  were  persuaded  to  be 
fools  and  to  be  of  a  voluntary  foudnesa  to  venture 
the  loss  of  all  for  nobody  else  knows  what.  He, 
moreover,  ohjectod  to  t-he  base  and  low  estat  e  and 
condition  of  those  that  wore  ijhlotly  the  pilgrims 
of  the  tlme-s  In  which  llicy  lived;  also  their  ig-no- 
raiice  and  want  of  understanding  In  all  natural 
science.  Yea,  ho  did  hold  me  to  U.  at  that  ralo 
also  about  a  great  many  more  things  than  here  I 
relate ;  as  that  It  was  a  shame  to  sit.  whining  and 
mourning  under  a  sermon,  and  a  shame  to  come 
K'ghlng  and  groaning  home ;  that  it  was  a  shame 
to  a.sk  my  neighbor  forgiveness  for  my  petty 
faults,  or  to  make  restitution  where  1  have  taken 
trom  any.  Ho  said,  also,  that  religion  made  a 
man  grow  strange  to  tho  greai,  because  of  a  few 
\1co8  (which  he  called  by  tluer  names),  and  made 
him  own  and  respect  Ihe  base,  because  of  tho 
same  i-ellglous  truterntty:  and  la  not  this,  said 
he,  a  shame  7 
c/,;-._Aiid  what  did  you  say  to  him  7 
Faith.— Huy  1  I  could  not  tell  what  to  say  at 
fli-st.  Yea,  ho.  put  me  so  to  11,  that  my  blood  came 
np  in  my  face ;  even  this  Shame  fetched  It  up,  and 
had  almost  b(.’at  mo  quite  oil'.  But  at  last  i  began 
to  consider,  tha-t  that  which  Is  highly  esteemed 
among  men  la  Inid  in  abomination  with  God  (Luke 
ift:  15),  And  1  thought  again,  this  Shame  tells  me 
what  men  are  ;  but  he  tells  nothing  what  God,  or 
tlie  word  ul  Go,l,  I.h.  And  1  thought,  moreover, 
that  at  the  day  of  doom  i.ve  shall  not  be  doomed 
to  death  or  life,  according  to  the  hectoring  spirits 
of  the  world,  but  according  to  the  wisdom  and  law 
of  the  highest.  Therefore,  thought  i,  what  God 
eaya  is  best,  Is  best,  though  aU  the  men  In  the 
world  are  against  IL  Heetng,  t  hen,  that  God  pre¬ 
fer, s  his  religion ;  seeing  uod  yi  efers  a  tender  con¬ 
science;  seeing  they  that  make  themselves  fools 
for  the  kingdom  of  heaven  are  wisest,  and  that 
the  poor  man  that  loveth  Christ  Ls  richer  than  the 
greatest  man  lu  the  world  that  hates  him ;  Shame, 
depart.,  thou  art,  an  enemy  to  my  salvation,— /mu-

CONSCIENCE  Is  the  voice  of  the  soul,  the  passions 
arc  the  voice  of  the  hody.  II  Is  a.stoiiishlog  that 
these  two  liuiguagcs  contrarttet  each  other,  and 
then  to  Mdileh  must  avc  listen  7  U’oo  often  reason 
deceives  us ;  wc  have  only  too  much  acquired  the 
right  of  refusing  to  itsten  to  It;  conscience  never 
I  doecive.s  us ;  It  Is  the  t  rue  guide  of  man ;  it  Is  to 
.  man  whn  l  inslinet  is  to  the  hody,  whloh  follows  It, 
obeys  uatui'e  and  never  is  afraid  of  going  astray.

Too  many  only  see  Christ  In  a  booli,  lus  we  see 
places  in  a  map :  but  to  come  right— to  enjoy  him 
—this  Is  delightful  and  saving.— YGdAw/ord.
