In the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, for instance, the attributes of wisdom and justice personified in fire wnd brim- stone became His angels. These attributes of God, both tor destruction and for salvation, are THE ANGELS THAT PEOPLE HRAVEN and His ministers to men are His various acts of | pan, J to the race. Gabriel is simply ‘“God’s might;” Michael, “who like God,” and so with others, Hinarance is embodied in the term Satan. You are aware how another faith hus taken up this name and woven a web around it to make It man’s enemy, as if man haa any other enemy than himself, The Doctor then gave illustrations of bow iron and other mineral products change their names, according to the work to Which they are Pore ed and, he argued, so do the angels, or the attributes of God, change their names with the diversity of their messages of good or ill to man, Is there & man weak in character who must be purifled and chastened ? The adversary takes him and removes the defect. How much nobler is this doctrine, the Doctor asked, than to teach that the angels are independent personal characters! God’s angels are always instruments working good; |, if we seek to work, we can be angeis also. When doubt encompasses us let us seek the angel of faith, and if in our homes the demon of hate and envy reigns let us call in the angel of love, Hard times and a severe winter are upon us, Let us PUT ON CHARITY'S WINGS and fly away with heip and succor to the poor. The younger members of the congregation, the ‘Doctor said, bave organized a benevoient society, and next week they wili hold a fair, to which he invited all the old folk, that they might, by their presence and purses, aid the objects for which the young people were working; and may the angels protect these lads, be added. The Doctor then gave a few pastoral words of advice and en- couragement to a young man who had just been confirmed. He prayed that the noble traits of character which the youth had displayed might become matured and pertected with his ripen! tt years, and closed wit a benediction that Go might bieas him and be gracious unto him, and lift upon nim the light of His countenance and give him peace, THE CUBAN QUESTION. CONDITION OF THE INSURRECTION——-TWO FAC- TIONS OF PATRIOTS—STEADY GAIN OF THE REVOLUTION IN THE ISLAND. Witn every annual Message of the President and the incident of his allusion to Cuba a spasmodic interest in the insurrection—which now for more than six years has existed in that island—is ex- cited. The usual garbled account is promptly telegraphed to Madrid, arousing the Dons to a fever heat, only to be allayed by the arrival of the text, when it 1s speedily ascertained that nothing 1s to be teared, and the proverbial serenity of the Spanish character reasserts itself, An adaitional ripple has been caused this season by the tncor- rect version of ‘the President on Cuban affairs” telegraphed to the London papers, resulting in aboltfrom “the Thunderer” and nothing more. Avisit to the Cuban circles in this city will speedily show that the annual Message of the President has ceased to be of interest there from the fact that all hope of any beneficial result to the Cuban cause from any action of the present administration is at an end, and it has long since been ascertained that words of sympathy, though embodied in so important a document, are of no practical benefit, A prominent Cuban when questioned by a HERALD reporter yesterday stated that no action among the friends and sym- pathizers of the insurrection with a vjew to in- fluenciug Congress was intended. “The Cubans,’’ he said, “have been deceived so many times that they have no confidence left.

THE DRAMA OF GENESIS—ANGELS AND THEIR NAMES—DISCOURSE BY BEV. DR, MENDES, Yesterday, in the Forty-fourth Street Synagogue, vhe congregation arrived, in their reading of the Pentateuch, at the close of the wonderful drama of Genesis, sublime in its teachings of the crea- tion, and having the universe for its stage and men for its actors. The Rev. Dr. Mendes, in a brief review of the first book, likened its several parts to the acts in @drama.

Of course they have the sympathy of all the Cubans within the Spanish lines, who afford them assistance whenever opportunity offers, aud What with the Constantly increasing Weakness of Spain, both in men and money, why, we are be- coming relatively strong.” “And ig there Do reason to expect material aid from the Soath American republics?” asked the reporter. “Very littie, None, indeed.

The girls knew that he enjoyed the book, for he read it during every spare moment he could snatch through the day, and they waited impatiently to hear bis opinion of that much talked of novel. The Docror—It 1s an amusing fact that whenever @ novel appears that contains more force and subtility than the average three volumed story, ft is either attributed to George Eliot or said to com- pare favorably with that great writer's books. I had seen this story of Mrs, Linton’s spoken of in the same line with *‘Middlemarch,”’ and was con- sequently prepared to dislike it; but a careful perusai has proved that the comparison ts not 80 odious after all. Of course, ‘Patricia Kemball’’ lacks the dramatic strengtn and pnilosophy of “Middlemarch,” but it suggests that wonderful story to a certain degree. Mrs. Linton says a great many sharp and wise things in her novel, and there 18 no Tault to find with the plotor the manner tn which t* is worked out, Miss RacueL—Didn’t Mrs. Linton write those “Girl of the Period” papers which appeared in the London Saturday Review? Yes—I thought she did, It ts too bad that the author of “Patricia Kemball” should have written such articles. They are as vulgar as the women about whom they are written, FEeLIcIa—Let us hope that she will confine her- self to story writing hereafter, tor she certainly does herself great credit in that line. Miss RacHEL—I suppose that ‘Patricia Kemball” May be looked upon as Mrs, Linton’s model woman. She is a fine character, although I think that she overdid her devotion to truth at times, She might have vindicated herseif without having broken her promise to Dora and have saved a world of trouble thereby. Such dreadful straight- forward girls are exasperating, and Patricia oiten tried my patience. FELIctIA—She did have considerable spunk too, for her attempt to stab her uncle with the silver fruit kniie showed that the camel’s back held more straws than it could weilbear. Notwith- standing the fact that her aunt’s house was her only home, I cannot imagine how she could have stayed there as long as she did. An American girl would have left before she had been there three weeks. What with Mrs. Hamley’s nerves and sen- sitiveness, and Mr, Hamley’s coarseness and the cruelty of both, life must have been a burden, And Dora, she was the finishing stroke. Miss Rat 1L—It is hard to imagine such @ cha- Tacter as ‘a; respectably brought up, extremely dainty about some things, her utter want of feel- ing and hardness of heart were unheard of, It seems to me impossible that any woman could sit calmly by and bear an innocent girl, and one wno loved her dearly, accused of a crime she hersell had committed and, never raise her voice to save her, The Docror—Dora isthe worst woman I know of in modern fiction. She could smile and smile and be a villain. Her very beauty and soit, pur- ring ways only made her the more repulsive. How cleverly she tried to reason Patricia into keeping her secret. Do you remember what she sald— “My opinion ts, Patricia, that nothing is so seifisn, nothing 80 cruel, as that thing you choose to call sincerity. Iam sure if I was always thinking of my dirty little sonlas you are of yours I should go mad?” Isn’t that funny ? FELICIA—How cooily Dora went about her wicked- ness, her secret marriage, her vbeit, forgery ana Gisgusting flirtation with her old cousin, her con- templated bigamy, and all with never a change of countenance, Sydney Low was just the man for her. Miss RacugL—I take it that Mrs, Linton herself 1s sometning such a woman as Miss Fletcher, sne dotes on thatladyso, Idon’t blame her, for Miss Fletcher is one in @ thousand. That is very true what Mrs. Linton says about lords and commoners: that noble ladies will often be on terms of inti- macy with men belonging to common families, while they would not’ think of speaking to tueir wives, “They will flirt to shamelessness with Dick, but they will nov Know Mrs, Dick. The men might pass, but it is those badly dressed women who are so dreadiuL” FELIcCIA—The book ends unexpectedly, for vice triumphs over virtue and the two worst charac- ters in the story carry out their plans and end thetr days in luxury, if noc in happiness. I must say that [like it for a change, but it would have been more satisiactory if Patricia’s aunt and un- cle might have known her worth be/ore tuey died, UGLY GIRL PAPERS, “If the ‘Ugiy Girl Papers’ (Harper & Brothers) are to be believed,” said Felicia, ‘there is no rea- son why every Woman skould not be a Venus in form and fage.

Miss RACHEL—Don't you remember the Knight girls we went to school with? They were never allowed to eat butter or anything greasy and their complexions were almost too beautiful.

Atleast, he fears that the public will be apt to look upon it Improbabilities, he says, are of everyday occurrence, He refers to Shakes. peare and Scott as sensational or exciting writers, ‘shakespeare paints in ‘Hamlet’ a human being warned by @ ghost, stabbing a councillor, fighting in grave and killed by @ poisoned rapier; in “Macbeth” a soldier wading trough blood to a crown promised him by witches,’"’ &c, Miss RacikL—With such @ preface something blood curdling should follow, Frep—But it does not. There are no murders nor very exciting situations. The story is written in colonial times, and the scene ts laid in Virginia.

The bus- band of the woman {s also supposed to be dead, when in truth he has been living in @ hole in the ground on a bit of swamp land for seven years. The child of Justin’s lost love and this man had been picked up im the swamp by a hunter, whe lives there, and adopted as his daughter. By the way, according to the dates given, this child must have been born when her parents were aged re- spectively filteen and jourteen years, One day sustin rescues Miss Evelyn Bland from a watery grave, for which she says, “lam very much obliged to you for saving my life,” Of course she fails in love with the brave knight, but it is @ long time before her affection is reciprocated, In the meantime St, Leger, Justin’s bosom frien, falls in love with and proposes to Evelyn, who gives him a decjded “no,’’ which he takes as good- _Daturedly as he would have takena “yes,” anu im- mediately transfers his affections to another laay, Everybody thinks that Augusta, the actress, is Justin’s wife, Evelyn among the rest, and she ia consequently unhappy. At last the true story geta out, Augusta and her husband and child are united aud Evelyn, fearful that she will lose Justin, enacts the rdle of ‘the woman who dared,” and he is won over. Although the story ts dated before the Revolu- tion the people are pretty well versed in modern slang, “stunning” being one of their commonest expressions. One recommendation to the book is its very short chapters and the fact that the story 13 not as iong agit looks, Mr. Shephard's illustrations are much worse than [ thought him capable of after seeing some of nis pictures of davkies, | | | ESTBLLE. Migs RACHEL—In the publisher’s preface Messrs, Sheldon & Co, tell us that Mrs. Edwards looks upon ‘Estelle’ as one of the very best stories she has written, Do you agree with her? Fexicia—I am not very familiar with Mrs. Ed- wards’ novels, although I believe that they are very popular, and I must say that I was very much interested in the present volume, Ralph Harley is the most attractive character in the book, but I thipk his introduction to the reader 13 altogether too elaborate. It 1s not necessary to give the details of a man’s Ile trom the day of his birth before he 1s brought upon the scene, even if it is for the purpose of marrying the her- oine. Estelle Gevelops into a woman of mors | character than her girlhood gives promise of. Her passion for Cyprian St. Just was ioo absorbing, positively sickening. Luckily, he is a style of man little known among the priesthood. Miss RacHEL—How could a man be anything with such a name as Cyprian St. Just. Estelle was @ woman that dared, but her daring was to no purpose. Cyprian was a wretch, not because he could not love her, but because he urged her to marry D’Alembert, whom he knew to be an un- reformed rake. Feiicia—Estelie was @ great fool to marry him. To be sure she did it out of pique as much as any- thing else. The way she accepted D*Alembert ts very funny: “If I accepted you it would be from no personal liking, with no idea that I should grow to like you in time, but simply for the ad- vantages your offer holds out.” That is pretty plain talk even to such a suitor, Miss RaCHEL—D’Alembert ts a little too vile a character, His designs against his wife go be- | yond the wildest imagination; they were too re- volting to write about. If sne had really been the murderer she thought herself she would have been pardoned. To kill such @ mao would be accounted justifiable homicide. I call this plot decidedly sen- sational, FBLICIA—Ralph is a pretty good sort of a fellow. He was more than forgiving. The way he smoothed over the sins arising from too passion- ate love is something new in the history of man- | kind, and it is just as well that all people do not share his liberal views. There 1s a great aeal of | falsity in this book and also a great deal of truth. Mrs. Edwards seems to be pretty well posted in the ways of victlous men, which, of course, is an advantage to a woman who writes novels of this class, She has a very disagreeable way of scatter- ing Freoct, German and Italian through the book, which 18 very bad taste, and does not leave the effect desired—that of making readers imagine her &@ linguist. Miss RACHEL—That is an admirable trick, and {¢ always makes me think the writer haa been dill- gently studying a phrase book and dictionary. HIS TWO WIVES. FRLICIA— Mrs, Ames’ last work, ‘His Two Wives” (Hurd & Houghton) is agreat improvement on her first. The characters are much more natural and @ great deal more interesting. The story opens im a country village, and then the scene shifts to Washington, a city whose ins and outs | are well known by Mrs. Ames, and she reveis in | her Knowledge. The hero and heroine are married in the first part of the story. He, Cyril King, is the” clever son of @ drunken blacksmith, and she, Agnes Darcy, 13 a young lady of aristocratic birth. | Cyril 19 ambitious, and, like the self-made man | Disraeli writes about, he worships his Maker. | Agnes is really a lovable woman, but her nusband | finds fault with her becanse she devotes so much | of her time to her children, aod then she is a | shrinking little body and nates society or anything | that takes her away from her jamily. Cyril, on the contrary, is devoted to the outside world, becomes a politician, and is finally sent to Congress, where he has a brilliant career, He neglects bis wife and has a@ desperate flirtation with Circe Sutherland, a fascinating widow float ing about Washington society. His conduct to bis wife becomes unbearable and she leaves him | and he gets @ divorce on the ground of desertion. Then he marries the Sutherland, and the two are about as miserable as two peopié need want to Le, She also deserts him and sets sail for Europe, ana | gets wrecked on the voyage. Cyril becomes @ hopeless paralytic, and he also goes to Europe, | where he meets with Agnes and they make up and get married again and spend the nappiest years of their itie together, Miss RacEL—Cyril seems to me to,be an odious sort of man, not the least bit of a gentleman.
