THE BEST or ALI. CHARITIES.
As there are poor people everywhere who
must be rclieved,ll,am going to give your
readers the method of work adopted by the
most useful and cfiective charity in the world.
St. John’s ,Guild is a body of men and women
in this city, organized for thfiurpose of help-
ing the, deserving poor. e officers and
workers get no salaries. Every dollar eon—
-ributed goes directly to_ the relief of the
poor, without being pared’ down a particle.
.\ by member may recommend deserving peo-
ple, 111 d on their recommendation visitors call'
and ascertain the exact circumstances. They
get the number in the family, its earnings,
and what they most need. Then the' head
gets a ticket, and on presentation, tickets are,
issued on which they can draw rations once a
week. The Guild has an immense warehouse
on \‘arick street, which is filled with meats,
Odour, groceries and medicines, all of which
they buy at prime cost, and 5000 families are
wholly, or in part, supplied'therefrom. At
this time25,000.persons are living on this '
eharity, and there is not an unworthy peyson,
among them. Every one has to give a rcfer-
eziee before an ounce is drawn, and the ino-
' ment the pensioner gets work the supply is
stopped. In summer their work is mostly
earing for sick children. The Guild own
their own barge, and have it fitted up for ex-
eursions up the river with sick children.
which they give every day. It is a sight to
godown to the warehouse and see the crowds
of hungry people carrying away their rations.
Last Thursday over. 10,000 were present du-
ring the day, and all were supplied. The
Guild shows what organization will do, and
how effective it may be. Every dollar is
contributed without solicitation, and they
have no diiiiculty in getting funds, for every
one knows that what is given goes directly to
the object for which it is intended.
MOODY axn sxxxsr.
The meetings at the Hippodrome are in-
creasing, if anything Extra services have
been put on this week, one in the afternoon,
to accommodate people who live out of town.
The church members who can command their
time, have given up every pursuit, and. attend
meetings at all hours, professing to find ‘en-
joyment in them. It is necessary to give
up everything else to attend, for one must go
an hour before hand, and there is no time left
of half a- day if one attends a meeting. The
great doors flanked by the winged Assyrian
figures, that saw the Hippodrome put to oth-
er uses, and like their-antetypes, survive 01
changes, are open at half-past eleven for the
morning meeting, and the throng which‘
melts into the hall fills it at once. .The audi-
ence is unconcerned, ladies chatting with
their friends, ministers in the gallery seats
close to the speakers’ railing, are deep in low'
toned, earnest chat about the advisory coun-
cil, the prospects of Oliver Johnson’s new
paper, or the latest from the inquiry rooms,
and Mr. Moody’s last method. The only
thing that would distinguish the meeting
from a coliseum concert in jubilee time, in
Boston, is the number of very poor, wretch-
' red—looking people who come
only sign that these meetings are called in
the name of Christ who gathered the multi-
tudes together, and had compassion on them
because they were as sheep without a shep-
herd. There were such poor, decrepit old
women, in garments barely decent to cover
them, past all decency of neatness, and bon-
nets barely rescued from the coal-hole, chil- just so far as maritime nations have made use
dren with unkempt hair and frowsy garments,
brought by bending grandmothers, or drawn for promoting commerce, just so far have
by curiosity into the free meeting; men, evi_ they been-prospered. The argosies of Ven-
dcutly out of work, filthy, despouding and
forlorn; the back streets and alleys sitting and The Netherlands,successivelybecame the
mistress of the sea, and consequently the
down beside ladies in furs and velvets, and
spruce young men with flowers in their but-
ton—holes.
It was a pitiful sight, and one longed that
lbese'poor souls, who had no earthlyhope or
emnl‘ort, might find some help and promise to has protected and defendéd her bummerce 0'10
lift them above their troubles. It would
have been in sympathy with the master of
such meetings, if one of those wise, devout
pastors could have stepped forward, and with
gentle feeling, told these forlorn creatures
that this unhappy lot was not all of existence
for them, and whispered of inward help, that
could help them drag through whatever was banished indigo dyes-from‘th'e realm because Town
left for them to endure, without leaving them
to feel bereft of God and man. But instead?
a stout, quick-moving man, wtih neck set in-
to his shoulders, came to the front, gave out
a hymn, and proceeded to pummel the truth
into the intemperate portion of his audience,
talking against time, like an insurance agent
trying to win a customer. lie was glib and
peremptdry, he did not suffer a second to be
lost, he told a number of stories, slapped his
reformed drunkards on the back, with “I
want you for President of the Temperance
League I‘m going. to start to-day," or “I
want you for Secretary.” He made his usu-
al point, that “man was a failure,” and with
some very heavy singing, was off to his con—
verts, without pausing to take breath. The
singing, when Mr. Sankcy does not take part,
is very heavy, but it could hardly be other-
wise, with four or five thousand untrained
voices for a choir. Mr. .Sankey confines his
exertidns to singing a hymn at each meeting,
when‘ he feels like it. Mr. Moody and his
wife are the guests of \Vm. E. Dodge, Jr., of
the firm Phelps, Dodge & 00., and his sons
have lately been placed at one of the best
schools on Fifth Avenue, their expenses be-
ing defrayed by wealthy friends. The money
made by the sale of hymn-books goes to the
Young Men’s Christian Association. It is
said that the. debt of this body has been ex-
tinguished, and the fund from the sankey
hymn-book will be available for charitable
work.
srxuxo rasutoxs;
The warm weather allows the greatest lati-
tude in the matter of fashion. It is not un-
common to see thick jackets discarded, and
the black silk suit worn with a lace fichu, or
the bead fringe cape of last fall; again, suits
in two shades of gray or brown debe'ge, will
be the first change for good, and with these
are over-dresses of soft striped, basket-woven
or- wool natte cloths, in large stripes of in-
definite sliding, or subdued colors. Checks
are found in all fabrics, wool, silk, cotton,
black and white, brown and white, blue and
white, but small and modest though clear.
'l‘hchats for the half-season, just before we
take to absolutely spring array, are white felts
with colored velvet face trimming, worn with
a craps or lace veil of the same shade, folded
closely about the head, closely, as a slight
' protection against neuralgia while March
‘winds threaten. 'Qiey will soon be laid aside
for the soft chip hats, of every shade of tint.-
ed—white, pearl-white, pink white, cream-
white, to be trimmed with lace sc:.rfs of the
exact tint of the straw hut. Girls will be
glad to hear that long polonaises and turbaus,
the old favorites in dress and head wear, are
settled styles for the year to come.
POLITICAL.
The. Union League Crab, which represents
the unofficial end of the Republican party of
this city, has felt impelled to express itself.
it has resolved that: no man should be nomi-
nutcd who is not entirely above suspicion of
dabbling in speculation, and who is not on-
tirely free from complications that would
lead him in that direction. Thisis somewhat
ambiguous, but. there can be no doubt as to
its meaning. It is a dig at Grant and at 1:03-
0.00 Couklin, and a protest again.st the inter-
ference of custom house and post office em-
ployees in politics. It is‘a demand for a
throwing overboard of the professional poli-
iticians, and hall for new men to come to
the front, men not involved in enlangling al-
liances, or mixed iii any way with what is
known as- “ management." lieiknap has

BY A. II. BISSRLI"
Lord Bacon once said, “There 'be three"
things which make a nation rich and prosper—
ousi: a fertile soil, busy workshops, and easy
conveyance of men and things from place to
place.” If this were' true at a time when .
commerce was a slow, crude and laborious ,
interchange of commodities, how much truer ‘
is it since the advent of steam and its applica-
tion to the various uses of mankind. There
is not a civilized nation on the face of the
globe but has adopted this great factor as the
teat means of interior development, and as
almost the only agent of communication with
the outer world. To what class in the com-
munity has it not become an indispensable
necessity of everyday life. Into what busi-
ness does it not enter with giant energy as an
active participant? \Vhat enterprise or
achievement of man’s progress has it not aid- '
ed? Even our pleasures are fast becoming de-
pendent upon it in some form, so that it has
truly become the great laborer of the age.
Into whatever other interests,» how'eiéi-{it
may have diffused its benefits, it will always
be true as matters of historical fact, that it
had its immediate origin in the necessities of
commerce. ' -
Although the wonderful capabilities of this
greatest of motive powers, were donbtles
known to some extent in remote times, it
was left to a later age to understand and ap-
ply them. .When nations began to depend
upon nations, as neighbor ,formerlynpon
neighbor for the necessities of life, and rapid-
ity and regularity of water communication
became as indispensable as water, then this
giant power, which had slept in. undisturbed
silence through the ages, touched by the
magician’s wand, awoke to take its place
merce, which signifies not simply traffic, but
by the highest judicial construction, naviga-
tion, intercourse, transportation and every-
thing employed in commercial operations as
well, was the magician which first invoked
this motor to life, and canonized it, as among
It is the the sacred elements of national power; and 3'- 111- ALLEN

[Irwin Russell in Scribner's Monthly for
Marcia] ‘
Belubed fellow trabellers:
today,
I doesn’t quote no special verse for what I
has to say. '
De sermon will be berry short, and dis here
am dc tex’ :
Dat hat-way doin’s ain’t no ’connt forfdis
worl’ or de 'nex'. '
In holdin’ forth
Dis worl’ dat we’s a libbin’ in is like a cotton
row, ‘
What ebery culled gentleman has got his line
to hoe; ' -
And ebery time a lazy nigger stops to take a
- na .
Dc grasslkeeps on a-gmwin’ for to; smudder
up his crap. ' ' ‘-
When Moses led de Jews aerost de waters ob
de sea.
Dey had to keep a—goin’ jes’ as fas’ as faa’
could be; ' .
Do you ’sposedat day could ebber hub suc-
ceeded in deir wish, '
And reached de Promised Land at last—— if
dey had stopped to fish?
My frien’s, dar was a garden once, whar
Adam libbed with Eve, '
Wid no one ’round to bodder dem, no neigh-
bors for to thieve; . _, -
And ebery day was Christmas, and (icy got
deir ratibns free,
And eberything belonged to dem except an
apple tree. '
You all know"bout de story—how de snake
came snoopin’ ’roun',—
A stump-tail rusty moccasin, a crawlin’ on de
groun’— ,
How Eve and Adam eat de fruit, and went
and hid deir face, ’
Till de angel oberseer he came and drove ’em
off de place. '
Now s’pose dat man and 'ooman hadn't temp-
ted for to shirk, I . ' a
But had gone about deirgardenin’and’teuded
to (leir work, _
Dey wouldn’t hab been loafin' whar dey had
no business to,
And do debbilnever’d got a chance to tell 'em
what to do.
No half-way doin's, bredren! It ’llnever do,
I say!
G0 at your task and finish it, and den’s de
time to pray—-
For eben if the crap is good, de rain ’ll spile
de bolls,
Unless you keeps a pickin’ in de garden ‘ob
your souls, _‘
Keep a-plowin’, and a-hoen’, a-scrapin; of
the rows, ' .
'And when dc ginnin’s o'er you can pay up
what yorflmes; .
But if you quits a-workin’ ebery time de sun
is hot, ._ ,
De flierifi’s gwinc to lebby upon eberything
you’s got.
Whateber ’tis you’s dribin’ at, be shore and
drive it through,
And don’t let nufiiin' stop you, but do what
you's gwine to do; 0 _
For when you sees a nigger foolin’, den, as
shore’s you‘re born,
You’s gowine to see him comin’ out de small
end ob de born.
I thank you for de ’tention you has gib dis
afternoon—
Sister Williams will oblige us by a-raisin’ ob
a tune—~
I see dat Brudder’ Johnson’s ’bout to pass
around de hat,
And don’t. let’s habpohalf-way doin’s when
it comes to dati
