Though md of only tfo letters, It Is the pivot on which everything turns. All time and all eternity i i3 i). mar k in our utter ance, we U;nore It In our appreciation, ant none of us recognize it as the most trenaen lous word in all the vocabulary outside ol luuan w'jr'is wnicn aescnoe aelty.

Oh, that conjunction "if!" How much has dppeiidn-i on it ! The height of it, the depth of it, the length of it. the breadth of It. the immensity of it, the infinity of it who can measure.' It would swamp anything but' omnipotence. But I must confine myself to day to the "ifs" of the Bible, and In doinso l snnil spent oitne"ir of overpowering earnestness, tne "ii ot incre-iuLiry, tne 'ii of threat, the "if" of argumentation, the "if" of eternal significance, or so many of these "ifs" as I can compass in the time that may ie reasouaiuv auotteti to pulpit discourse. First, the "if" of overpowering earnest ness. My text gives It. The Israelites nave been worshiping an idol, notwithstan linif all that Go I had dono for them, and now Moses offers the most vehement prayer of all history, and it turns upon an "if." "If Ihou wilt forgive their sins and if not, blot ine, I praylhee, out of Tny book." Oil what an overwhelming "if! It was much as to say : "If Thou wilt not pardon meal, o not par ion me. ir rnou wilt not r.nng tne-n to tne promised laal, let me never see the promised land. If they must perish, let me perish with rhera. In that rook where Thou recorder their doom re cord my doom. If they ore shut out of baaven, l"t rne be shut out of heaven. If they go down into darknes, let me go down into darkness. What vehemence and holy recitiossness oi praver : Yet there are those here who, I have no iloul't, bare, lntheir all ahsoroing dt-aire to have others saved, risked the sume prayer. lor ii is a risK. tou must not mage it unless you are willing to balance your eternal s:U vation on such an "if." Yet there have been cases where a mother has been so aax o m for the recovery of a wayward son that her prayer has swung and trembled an 1 poised on an "if" like that of the text. "If not. blot me, I priy thee, out of thy book. Write ms name in tne Lsmij a Hook of Life, orturn to tlio page wtiere my name Wit written ten or twerdy or forty or sixty years a'o, and with the black Ink of everlasting midnight erase my Ilrst n ime, and my last name, an i all my name.

Motnerlike, she st o watching, and the ship was in the offing, bu a fearful storm struck it and dashed the s'lip oa the rocks that night. Ail thai night the mother prayed for the safety of the son. and j.i t at dawn ttiere w.isa knock at the colt a, -door, and the son entered, crying out "Mother, I knewyou would pray me home! If I would ask all those in this ossembl ig who have been prayed home to God by pious motners to stand up, tnere would be seor that would stand, and if I should os!c the to give testimony it would be the testimony of that New England son coming ashore from the spilt timbers of the whaling ship 'My mother prayed me home !" Another Bible "if" is the "it" of inere.lu lity. Satan used it when Christ's vitality was depressed by forty days abstinence troai food, audtbetempter pointed tosome stones, in color and shape like loaves of breaJ, and said. "If thou be tne Son of God, com mand that these stones be made bread. Tiiat was appropriate, for Satan is the father of that "if of incredulity, l'eter used the same "it when, standing on the wet an 1 slippery deck of a fishing smack off Lake Galilee, he saw Christ walking on the sea as tnough it were as solid as a pavement of basalt from the adjoining vo'canio bills, and Peter cried, "If It be Thou, let me come to i nee on tne water. What a preposterous "If!" What human foot was ever so constructed as to walk on water' In what part of the earth did law of gravitation make exception to the rule thf.t a man will sink to the elbows when be touches the wave of river or lake an 1 will sink still farther unless he can swim But here Peter looks out upon the form In the shape of a maa defying the mightiest law of the uni verse, the law ot gravitation, and standing erect on the top of the liquid. Yet the in xedulous Peter cxlea out to the Lord. "Ii it tm, Tbon."

There are only four steps between strong faith and complete unbelief: First, surrender tan Idea of the verbal inspiration of the Kcriptures nn 1 ndopt the idea that they were all generally supervised by the Lord. See on', surrender the idea that they were all generally supervised by the Lord and adopt the theory that they were not all, but partly. supervised by the Lord. Third, believe that Ihey are the gradual evolution of the ages, and men wrote according to the wisdom oi ) he times In which they lived. Fourth, be (lleve that the Bible is a bad book and no' mJv unworthy of credence, but perniciou fcnd debasing and cruel. . Only four steps from the stout faith in Which the martyrs died to the blatant car icature of Christianity as the greatest sham id tie centuries. But the door to all that precipitation and horror is made out of an if. ' The mother of unrests In the minds of Christian people and to those wh regard taojedJ.hlogs i thew!irof Incredulity, 1379. In S -b'innd. t saw a letter which hall been written many Years ago by Thomas L'arly to Thomas Chalmers. Carlyle at the ime o.' writing the letter was a young man. The letter was not to be published until after he death of Carlyle. His death having taken place, the letter ought to be published. It was a letter In which Thomas Carlyle expresses the tortures of his own mind while relaxing his faith in Christianity, while at the same time expresses his admiration for Ir. f'nalmers, and in which Carlyle wishes that he had the same faith that the great Sco ch minister evidently exercised. Nothing lhat Thomas Carlyle ever wrote in "Sartor Kesanus," or the "French Revolution," or his "Lite of Cromwell," or his Immortal 'Essavs," had in it more wondrous power ban that letter which bewailed, b.La own doubts and extolled the strortir fa'th of another. I made an exact copy of that letter, with ihe understanding that it should not be pub lished until after the death of Thomas Carlyle, but returning to my hotel in Edin burgh I felt uneasy lest somehow that letter hould get out of my possession and be pub lished be'ore its time. So I took it back to the person by whose permission I had sopied It. All reasons tiir its privacy having vanished, 1 w sh it might be publ-shed. Perhaps this scrmou, finding i's way into i Scottish home, may suggest itj printing, for that letter shows more mightily than any- thing lhave ever read the different bet ween he "I know" of Paul, an 1 tne "I know of Job, an-1 the "I know" of lliomas Chalmers, ind the "I know" of all those who hold with firm grip the g'jspel, on the one band, and the unaioorin-r. be&tormini; and torturing if of increduiii v on the other. I like the rositive faith of Mat sailor boy that Captain fu ikuis of the steamship S.otia flicked up iu I hurricane. tio alott, said Captain Jud- i-.li to trs mate, "and look out lor wreci:s. Ue tra t no mate ha I gone far up the rat ing's he snouted "A wreck ! A wreck ! Wnere away !" said Captain Judkins. "Oil he port bow," was the answer. Lifeboats were lowered, and forty men volunteered to Dtit out across the angry sea lor the wreck. i'ney came back with a dozen shipwrecked, in 1 among thetn a boy of twelve years. Who are you said Captain Judkins. rhe aii-wer was : "I am a Scotch boy. My atlier and mother are dead, and I am on my w.iv to America." "What have you here? iid Captain Judkins as be opened the boy's acKet an t took hold oi a rope nround the kiv's lo Iv. "It Is a rope," said the boy. But what is that tied by this rope under four arm' "That, sir. is my mother's Bible. She tol l me never to lose that." "Could you not have saved something else?" Not and saved that. "Old you expect to o dowu?" "Yes, sir, but I meant to take nv mother's Bible dowu with me." "Bravo !", laid Captain Ju lkins. "I will take caro of you." That boy demonstrated a certainty and a oulldcnce that I like. Just in proportion- s you have iew "ifs" of incredulity In your religion will vou llnd It a comfortable re- ig.on.

Solomon gives us that "it"' twice in one sentence when he says, "If tho-.i tie wise, thou Shalt Im wise for thvs-lf, but if thou scornest thou alone shalt b"ar it. ' Christ gives us that "if when he says, "If thou hadst known in this thy day the things which belong unto thy peace, but now they ire hidden Irom thin i eves. Paul gives us that "if when he savs. "If they shall enter into my rest." All these "ifs" and a s -oro nore that I might recall put the whole re sponsibility of our salvation on ourselves. Christ's willingness to pardon no "ii" fcbout that. Mealms of glory awaiting the right eousno "if about that. The only "if in all the case worth a mo ment's consideration is the "if" that attaches itself to the question bs to whether we will accept, whether we wiil repent, whether w-i win believe, wnotner we will rise loreyer. is it not time that we take our eternal futui off that swivel? Is it not time that we ex tirptte that "if, that miserable "if," that hazardous 11 ' we would not nilow th uncertain "if to stay lonj; in anything else of importance. i,et some one sav in regar. to a railroad bridee, "I have reasons for ask ing If that bridge is-Mff,, and vou would not crosa it.

But T allowed for years of my lifetime, and some of you have allowed for years of your lifetime, an "il" to stand tossing up and down questions of eternal lestiny. Oh. decide! Perhaps your arrival lere to.day may decide. Stranger thlncra than that have put to flight forever the "if' of uncertainty. A few Sabbath nights ago in this church a -nan passing at the foot of the pulpit said to me, "I am a miner from England." and then he pushed back his coat sleeve nnd said, "Do you see mar scar on my arm I said, "Yes yoo must have had an awful wound there some time- He said : "les : It nearly cost me my life.

Settle this matter instantly, positively ina lorever. May tne last "if." Bury deen ne last -ir. now to do It Fling body. nind and soul in a prayer as earnest as that ji -noses in the text. Can you doubt th earnestness of this prayer of the text ? It is lo heavy with emotion that It breaks down In the middle. It was so earnest that the ranslators in the modern copies of the Bible were oougea to put a mart, a straight lino, dash, for an omission that will never be ""ed up. 8uoh an abrupt pause, such a sud- I len snapping off or the sentence ! cannot parse my text. It is an of- wnse of grammatical construction. But lhat dash put in by the typesetters Is mightily puggestive. -mi inou wilt lorgtve tneir sin (then come the dash) "and if not, blot tne. I pray Thee, out of Tbv book. ' Soma f the most earnest prayers ever uttered tould not be parsed anil were poor speci mens of language. They halted, they broke (own, they passed into sobs or groans or Hence. God eares nothing for the syntax tf prayers, nothing for the rhetorio of prayers. Oh. the worldless prayers !

A prayer may have in style the gracefulness of in Addison, and the sublimity of a Milton in d the epigrammatia force of an Emerson, nd yet be a failure, having a horizontal power but no perpendlculm power, horl tontal power reaohing the er of man, but so perpendicular power reaching the ear of Bod. Bet weep the first and the last sentences of nfiett tfiWS W.13 puwyi"ff OI MlUMtnesa loo mighty for word. It will take half of an tt amity to tell of all the answers ot earnest ind faithful prayer. In his last Journal David Livingstone, in Africa, records the jrayer so soon to be answered : "19 March ny birthday. My Jesus, my God, my life, ny all, I again dedicate ray whole self to Thee Accept me, and grant. O gracious "ather, that ere this year is gone I may finish avtosk. In Jesus' name I ask it. Amen." When the dusky servant looked Into Liv ingstone's tent and found him dead on his ineee, he saw that the prayer had been an iwered. But notwithstanding the earnest less ot the prayer of Hoses in the text, it was a defeated prayer and was not an iwered. I think the two "Ifs" in the prayer iefeated it, and one "ir' is enough to defeat ny prayer, whatever other good character 'aties it may have. "If Thou wilt forgive their sins and if not, blot me, I pray Tiiee, tint of Thy book." God did neither. As the following verses show, He paniahed their lins, but I am sure did not blot out one let ;er of the name of Moses from the Book of Life. There Is only one kind of prayer in which you need to put the "if," and that is the prnyar for temporal blessings. Pray for riches, and they may engulf us ; or for fame. jna it mny newitcn us ; or lor worldly suc :ess. and it mav destroy us. Better sav. "If it be best," "If I can make proper use of It," 11 xnou seest 1 need it. A wife praying for Ihe recovery of her husband from Illness namped her foot and said with frightful smphasis: "I will not have him die. God ball not take him." Her prayer was an iwered. but in a few rears after t h ;q- -oity was stmeked By I Bo fact' that he had moment of anger slain ber. A mother, praying for a son s recover from Illness, told the Lord be bad no right to take him. and the boy recovered but plunged in to all abominations and died a renegade. Better in all such prayers and all prayers pertaining to our temporal welfare to put an "if," saying, "If it be Tby will." But in pray ing for spiritual good and the salvation of our soul we need never Insert an "If." Our spiritual welfare Is sure to be for the best, and away with the "ifs." Abraham's prayer for the rescue of Sodom was a grand prnyer in some respects, but there were six "ifs" in It, or "perauven tures," which mean the same thing. "Per adventure there may be fifty righteous in the city, peradventure forty-five, peradveuture forty, peradventure thirty, peradventure twenty, peradventure ten." Those six per adventures, those six "ifs" killed the prayer, and Sodom went down and went under. Nearly ail the prayers that were answered had no "ifs" lu them the prayer of Elijah that changed dry weather to wet weather, the prayer that changed Hezekiah from a sick man to a well man, the prayer that halted sun and moon without shaking the universe to pieces. Oh, rally your bouI for a prayer with no "Ifs" in it I Say in substance: "Lord, Thou hast promised pardon, an 1 I take it. Hero are my wounds; heal them. Here is my blindness ; irradiute it. Here are my chains of bondage; by the gospel hammer strike thorn off. I am fleeing tothe Cityof Refuge, nnd I am sure this Is the rigid way. Thanks be to God, lam free '." Once, by th law. my ho;e were plain. Hat now. In Chrint, 1 live again. With the Mosaic earnestness of my text and without its Mosaic "it's," let us cry out for Go.L Aye, if words fail us, let us take the huggestion of that printer's dash of the text, and with a wordless silence implore pardon and oomfort nnd II, e and heuveu. l'or this assemblage, all of whom I shall meet in the last judgment, I dare not olTer the prayer of my text, and so I change it and say, "Lord God, forgive our sins and wr.te our nams in the book of Thy loving remem brance, from which they shall never be blot ted out."

Woourldge Put Cp Stones for Him self and Doc. Among the many odd ways In which persons have marked their last Mat ing place, the oddest of odd Is found Jti tne little "city of the dead" at MayUeld, Ky. One H. H. Woolrldge, born in Tennessee In 1322, as says bis memorial stone, having grown near to mat point where we are wont "to 6iiun.e off this mortal coll," has con ceived the idea of perpetuating hie name by a set of monuments that will at least mark him as an eccen tric. A few years since he bqught his lot, 18x38 feet, and Inclosed It with a neat Iron fence. Soon there after he bad erected a marble shaft about seven-teen feet high, bearing his uanie and date of birth only, boon afterward he had another erected by the shaft's side, with a life-size statue of himself in marble resting on a pedestal, which statue is a most excellent likeness. Then fol lowed, in succession, In stone, the statue of his bound Tow-path In pur suit or a deer; bis pointer Bob point ing a fox; then cume the life sized horse and rider, cut from sandstone in one piece, a most excellent piece of work, the rider representing Mr. Woolridgo, the statue with rider be ing about fourteen feet high. Then followed the vault, which is built of stone, covered by a slab of pure white marble, upon which he cut the figure of a gun. Then comes a pretty stat ue of a peasant girl holding a skull upon wnicn is nis name. Woolrldge Is still alive, and. be ing possessed of ample means and alone in the world a bachelor there Is no telling what may come . next to assist in perpetuating his memory.-' L,ouisvuie Courier-Journal. Do Learn to Carve. There is one accomplishment that X would advise all young men and all young women to acquire, although 1 believe It has been considered ud to the present time one of the manly arts. It Is the art of carving. I pre sume that the athletic girl thinks she can carve a fowl, but 1 have never yes seen one of her sort who knew which end of the fowl to tackle first. and as to daint ily disjointing a bird. sne had not the remotest idea as to where in the fowls anatomy the joints were located. Vuung men are not much wiser unless they happen to be heaas of families and have dearly bought their experience. I was at a dinner a few d;iys since, and it was on tiiat occasion that 1 re ceived my impulse for this little homily. There was a young man present who was invited lo carve au ordinary haked fowl.

Quite likelyi it is a brittle affair, which breaks oil! and leaves many splinters behind It. There has been so much chemical treatment of brooms In recent years to make them look like green broom corn, and to make them appear every thing which they are not, it is not strange that the new broom has suf fered. It is a Rreat pity that the ordiuary broom-corn btoom is the general standby In most house- hu'ds for sweeping. It is no' to be compared in sweeping carpe i th a good carpet sweeper, which . i out. last a couple of dozen brooms, and will not cost half as much. The common practice of coloring cheap broom corn with a green color ing matter, which Iooks suspiciously like arsenical dye, should be discour aged by all good housekeepers- The green coloring matter can be easily recognized, because it is unevenly dis triouted. It is doubtful whether this green solution In which such brooms are dipped is not the cause of I heir being so extremely brittle. Cer tain it is that the excellent broom which was sold in the stores a genera tion ago is hardly to be found in the khops to-day. It has been driven out If the shops by the competition of (heap manufacture, and for this the public Is as much at fault as the manufacturer. New York Tribune. Heating by Electricity.

At Fouthampton there Is a well bred Manchester terrier, whose pet hobby is to meet and see off the Isle of Wiubt and r-outhaniptou boats from the landing-stage at the pier head. As the time for arrival or de parture draws near, he trots ud the pier In a thoroughly business-like manner, tlking notice of other dogs or strangers. ' As soon as a boat Is at the stage he is all activity, pops across the gangway on to tho boat, and bustles about everywhere, evidently consid ering himself an important otlicial. Just before the boat starts he leaps upon the landing-stage again, and stands in position close to one of the posts upon which the hawser Is looped. Again at the last moment, when the hawser is cast adrifu, he seizes the end of the twenty yards or so ol light casting-line attached to the loop, and holds on like grim death, refusing to give way until dragged to the very end of the stage. Then he quietly relinquishes his hold, placidly watches the quickly receding boat, and trots back to the town with a seit satisuci air. , 1 nave not been able to Cnd out further particulars about the dog yet, Din ne appears to no well known to all the employes of the pier, and Is evidently a general favorite. I am told that ho hardly ever misses a boat. I have seen him perform as described on several occasions. Wan One of the Family. It would have done the heart of the late Henry liergh good if he had witnesed a scene at Thirty-fourth street and Third avenue the other day. Lying in the dirty black mud in the middle of the street was a digni fied dog of the "ewfoL'nd!and species. Standing over him in sorrow was an elegantly dressed young man. Come on, ol I man, pet up. Get up, that's a good fellow," pleaded the young man while the dog feebly moved his tail and rolled his eye toward his mater, but did not move. Tnen the youth arted. Dropping a book which he carried into the mud lie stopped and lifted the mud-covered dog in his arms and carried it to tlio sidewalk, deposit ing it by the side of a building. His clothes were besmirched, the bosom of liis shirt an I his cuffs -oiled, but he paid no attention to his appearance. He thanked an ur chin who handed him the soiled book and then hailed a cab. "Vou see, he's an old dog," he said to me apo'ogetically, noting my In lerest in the episode. He's one of the family, yon know. I just brought him ia from the coun try, and the rattling and jolting of the cars must have acted unfavor ably upon his heart, because he gave out and fell right whe e vau saw him. l'oor old fellow!" "Well, good day, sir," and he again raised the animal carefully, and de posited it in the cab whieh drew up.

Further Investigation has shown that the 500 Huns' graves tliscovered by the dean and parish priest of Apar, near Czlko. In the county uf Tolna, were evidently not those of men who bad fallen on the battle Held, as was at first believed. They formed the regular burying ground of a colony of Huns, as the skeletons of women anu children outnumber those or men, says a Vienna dispatch to the London Standard. In many cases the remains of man and wife are found in the same crave, side ly side, but where children are burled with the mother they are placed across her breast. The graves are very narrow and are seven br ten feet aeerj. They are arranged iu regular rows, and the remains, which are without co.llns, lie on the back, the feet being turned toward the Fast and the heads toward the Wesu In seven graves, probably those of warrior chiefs, the remains of horses have been found buried witn tneir owners, with their harness complete and adorned with silver or bronze work. On the skeletons of these chiefs a number ot very skillfuly made ornaments have been discov ered, including, for instance, belt of silver and bronze. The weapons are knives, arrow-heads three-edged javelins, spear points and axes. Sev eral of theso chiefs held In their left bands Roman coins belonging to the end of the fourth century. Among the food found in the graves there were a numter of eggs with the shells still nnbroken. Equally in teresting is tho fact that in several graves a limuan stilus was found, showing that the Huns of that period were more cultured than had hitherto been believed. One of these stlli was artistically made Cf silver and orna mented. It was found In tho hand of a woman, with a wax tablet close by, ready to bo written on.

The excess of women over mn nas long been a feature of the popu lation statistics of Massachusetts, and since Mormonism Is not permit' ted to flourish in that progressiva State the natural effect of this fem inine surplus has been an unusual number of old maids. The cause, says the 'ew York Tress, is probably Horace Greeley's advice to younw men ou the subject of going West. The Massachusetts young man has been going West ever since, but we decline to believe that it is his fault that the Massachusetts young woman has not gone West with him. She stayed behind, not that she loved the m :i.::. i-hiKPtt-i vounir man ie?s, but that she loved Massachusetts more, especially Boston. Hut as the Massa chusetts young woman who did not go West with the young man of Hor ace Greeley's day became an old maid she missed the young man. She was left to lavish the wealth of affection upon cats, birds and other pets. And t . us it happened that a Massachu setts old maid, having nobody else to leave her fortune to, recently left It to her j.et cat. There are those who tninK me tendency of our time is toward a re duction in the ratio of marriages to the population of the marriageable. In one sense thi-s is a result of the continual improvement in the inde pendence and general social condition of women. Not only are they no longer the slaves of meu, but they are not obliged to tie themselves to men in order to get a living. As civilization Increases the number of occupations in which skill and tact and passive endurance make success, women, being often superior in these I respects, take possession or a greater number or places ana crowu men ouu The tables seem to be turned against the Inquiry of Miss Mona Caird, "Is Marriage a Failure?" This question caused a irreat deal of discussion in print a few years ago. If It is to be answered in the affirmative which heaven forfend then it must also be declared, on the strength of the lat est returns from Massachusetts, that singleness is a failure too. Thlsleaves the relative merits of marriage and of singleness JuFt where they were be fore Miss Mona Caird dared to prick the alleged bubble of matrimony with her pen. If an old maid who died rich was, nevertheless, so circum scribed in the wealth of at'ectionaud h'.mc life as to I e obliged to endow a cat, what can be said of the success of old maids who never get rich, even In money? I'nxlish Superstitions. Superstition is by no means a de funct anomaly in the customs and characteristics of some of our smaller towns or villages, says the Manches ter (England) Mercury. First and loremost of West countrysupersti tions comes an entire and thorough belief in witchcraft. Every west country village has an old woman who is a good deal mire feared than the village policeman. Xo one dares to contradict her will in anything. If she takes a fancy to tho finest cabbage in a man's garden, she may cut It as if it grew in her own. Though it should t e trie very pride of his heart he must not try to stop her proceedings; if he does a far worse thing is sure to ! clali him. His pig will be seized with sud len and deadly sickness, or his daughter's hair will fall oil. or a shower of rain will spoil his hay just when it is about to be carried. The West country term for a witch's pciwer is ' overlooking." If a witch has evil feelings toward you she is said "to overlook you." One indubitable sign by which you may know a witch is to bring her Into the church and try to make her stand with her face toward the east iN'o real witch can do it for a moment; however much she may strive, she will stand at firmly fixed as a frozen weathercock. o West country farmers living near a witch will doubt the cause when his horses or cattle fall ill. Sen to their belief in witches is their faith in the power of a seventh son or seventh daughter to cure dis eases. It is in vain that tho clergy man preaches, that the schoolmaster teaches, that the parish doctor remonstrates, the West country ma tron bears off her sickly baby in triumph tothe marvjor woman in the neighboring village who happens to have been born a seventh son or seventh daughter. These privileged individuals have but to touch the dis eased part and the cure is certain and immediate. There are also some wise women who can cure various complaints with a cnarra, which they speak over the patient lotheneigh borhood of Exmoor these things are far more trusted In than all the med ical faculty put together.
