As she threaded the path thee :ad up through the valley to the rude /ittle chapel among the billslshe could hear the people singing down by the brooks of the etreem and knew that the converts were be. baptized. Quickeningi her step, abe hurried on, with a prayer on her heart for pear Miliard, and for the quiet, orderly be. havior of her own little fleck, who, in cora- erten with many of their parents and older stalk' would leave the service of theur own evell-folde d valley churcnes, to come up here among' the hills and be " mune" by the often devout, bat atrange, wild eervice, hi- e:Ingo of much shouting and ranting of the thildren of the hills, or Hareehell Depilate, aa they called themselves. The little white chapel, Etanding out clearly upon the summit of the hill againet a, background of dark, pinray pine, and the darker green of shining laurel leaves, was euodeed aeeerted when elm reached it. Re- rgardleis of the keen, frosty air, the congre- gation thronged the banks cif the clear etream below. The ice had been broken for quite a space around an unusually deep pool, and the limpid water dimpled along, tinkling the broken bits cf crystal with a silvery sound against the frczen barrier be - ?low. A hush had succeeded the singing, and with bare head, in white ahirt sleeve, the stalwart Baptist rreacher stood in the midst of the pool, his hand raised above the aead of a lithe, slender figure, as the baptism from on high WM( evoked. Then, clasping the two bands in one of his, and bracing the other back of the shoulders, he swayed the boy'e forra slightly, and the next moment it sank swiftly into the clear, cold water, ap- pearing upright again in another second. With a quick, firm hand the preacher Swept tne water from his face; a few more words of consecration, and then, as the newly bap. tized walked to the water's edge, Miss Rob- erts, standing quite close now, se.vr thee it was Millard. To her surprise he did not leave the water, to find warmth and dry rclothing at the cottage close by, but stood dripping and shivering at the edge of the stream until the last convert had left the pool, and the preacher, following, had blessed them Ell. She shivered under her warm furs and, being near, would have thrown a shawl over her favorite's shouldere, bad she not feared to offend their sense of religious reverence. "Will they not die of colds or fevers after such exposure ?" she asked a woman of the congregation, who was standing near. "Oh, no 1 miss," she responded quickly. "They never takes cold from bein' baptized. 'My Tim says when he were baptized las' December, he came out fairly in a glow," Nevertheless Miss Roberts breathed a eigh of relief as they left the water, the • people singing a wild, discordant, but fer- vently. religious chant.

"Here, keep up this sill while I pull George out," he cried, but the boy rushed past him toward the window. "George 1 George 1" he shouted, and very near came a foolish laugh, and the broken =ewer "Wled.ye—went." The bar snapped be- neath the weight of the all; but with a quick motion Millard graeped the dark ob- ject and drew it frombeneath. A (weakling sound Above gave warning, but George could not stand upon his feet. Dogging and pushing the heavy body, Millard az lest reached the whitlow.

It was Eel) Carson who. when Millard had been given up for lost, loped in among the burning timbers and tearing away the debris beneath tee window, came ataggeriog back with his friend in his arms. As they thronged about him, lying helpless on the ground, with words of praise and gratitude, he threw out both arms to keep them back.

He that laoketh these things is blind and cannot see afar off, and loath forgotten that he was purged from his sins,' " In the early summer of that year the "lit- tle teacher " again visited the hill -country and, among the first cottages, that of the Ammo. Millard waa not at his home; he was higher up among the mountains, his mother said, holding a protracted meeting in which great interest was mannered.

Military fltaternen. The history of Boularmiern would seem to add another proof to the many that exist of the feet that wintery mon, in then later dams of the world's history, do not make suer easeful politicians. The greatest soldier that the English-speaking race ever produced was a failure as Prime Minister of Great Britain and though the Duke of Wellirog- ton keit the saddle for nearly throe years, he found his methods were not consiatent with the exigencies of populer Government. France has gained little by militaristn. The first Napoleon laughed at the English as a "nation of ahaekeepare," but the " shop- keepers " have on the 'whole done their governing better than the nation that la so inclined to lose ita head over " /a gloric." Frame certainly did better under Louis Napoleon than she had none for yore pre- vieuely, and Louis Napolepn. could only be called a soldier by courtesy. Boulanget may not be a very good soldier, but still he has a military record, and just that capacity of " bow not to do it" which appears to beset the military man who dabbles in politics. France has already a Sitio low. If she were to substitute for it a, law to the effect that no military man should be eligible for govern- ment cffice ib would probably do her more good. An Excellent Bill. A bill for the better protection oflife and [property by night baa been introduced into the British Parliament. It proposes that if anyone armed with a dangerous weapon or instrument enters or attempts to enter a dwelling•howle in the night with intent to commit a felony, be is to be guilty of felony; and, in addition to any puniahment to which he is now liable, he is to be liable to be sentenced to be priviately whipped three times. In the case of an offender who is under 16 years of age, the nuraber of strokes at each whipping must not exceed 25, and the instrument ulnae be a birch rod. In the case of any other male offender the number of strokes at eaoh whipping is allowed to go up to 50. The court must, however, always specify in its sentence the number of strokes to be inflicted and the instrument to be used, and no whipping is to take place more than aix months from the passing of the sentence. For the purposes of the measure the "night" is made to commence at six in the evening, and to last until eight in the morning.— [Philadelphia Ledger] It Was Very Sudden. A farmer not many miles from Maine was the owner of a very slow and balky horse which was recently overtaken by death. One of our business men the other day ex- tended to the farmer nis sympathy for the loss of the horse, and said: "He must have died rather suddenly, didn't. he "Sud- den 1" replied the old ton' " guess be did, mighty sudden fur him.

The Siesta. The siesta is Spanish, and means the short sleep after dinner in which moat peo. els indulge who live in bot cliraates. The heat of mid-day is so enervating that iD is impossible then to do effective work, so tbat the siesta, while it gives a brief rest, does not cause a loss of working hours. The needof a short "nap" after dinner is not less here than in the torrid zone. its effect: is to furnish a new supply of nervoies force; to do o11 a smaller scale what the night's sleep does on a larger one. Both the climate of the country and our national habits tend to keep the brain and nervoua system at a high tension. From youth to old age we are on the race for wealth or position, for pleaaure or fashion, for reform or religion. How different is this from the indolent life of the tropics, and even from life in the European coun- tries, where the pressure—perhaps also the rewards of ambitions striving -.may be less. We need something mote than the midday nap. We need to see that, without a milord change, there is danger ahead for as. Indeed, much of it is already on us, in the rapid multiplying of apoplexy, paralysis, softening of the brain, heart complaint, nervous pros- tration and nervous ailments generally. We need to foroe ourselves to take thinge tore quietly. ; to think more of the rest and solace and duties of home, and less of the sbop and club and the parties of pleasure. We need to preach up the virtues of con- tentment and selecontrolt and preach down the vice of an eal.conannung greed. But, meanwhile, the midday nap is of vast help. It is wonderful how much re. ouperative power there 15 in a nap of a few minutes. No one who has ever acquired the habit of a brief eiesta hes failed to experience it, and perhaps there is no way in which a quarter of an hour of our time, every day, can be invested with a prospect of a better dividend in health and length of days than in an afteadhener nap.-1Youth's Com. panion.

Clarke, Rich. mond atreete was the other afternoon tbe scene of a bold and desperate atter:opt: at robbery. About halepast two a couple of atrangers entered the cflaze, where Mr. Frank Clarke was alone belaind the coun- ter. Ono of them presented a pistol at Marken head and called upon hbri to de- liver his money. Mr. Clarke stood for a moment in astonishment, and the order was repeated more imperatively "Hand out your money." The young man suddenly anewered, "No, I won't," and reaching quickly over the railiogegraeped the barrel of the pistol and turned it aside. The other atranger was standing at the door of the counter as if to bounce in and eecure the cash on a favorable opportunity, but 011 seeing the bold stand taken by Clarke both men turned and fled. The policemen thus far have no clue to the would-be robbers. Late Advice.

The True Reason, NetWithatanding the glowing tribute of admiration whioh the press of the United Statea had paid to the memory of Jahn Bright, the Sellate at Washington declined on Wedneaday to vote directly upon a re- aolution expreating its arrow at hia dont. The excuse was offered that an ewkwara proof:eine would thus be established, and the resolution was referred to the Commmtee on Fereign Relations. The true inivercinese of this proceeding, however, is thus explained by .the New York " Times r"—" The real reason why the retolutionsovere not prompt. by and unanimously paned is thee John Bright, one of the noblest cheraoters itt Eng -- Belo history, the firemen mote faithful, and moat forleas friend of this Republio in its hour of trial and peril, the Enolishroan to whom we ovre a deeper debt of gratitude than to any other since Chatham and Berke, and as groat a debt as even to them, was in the later years of his life an opponent of the Irlah. party.

The young lady was seated in the breakfast -room when the maker of leather breeches waa ehown in, and, as she did not happen to know one handicraftsman more than the other, ahe at once intimated that she wished hire to measure her for a pair of "leather, for, as she remarked, the wet weather was coming, and -she felt cold in " cloth. " The modest tailor could hardly believe his ears. "Meaeure you, miss 1" said he with hesita- tion. "11 you please " said the young lady who was remarkable for much gravity of deportment; " and I have only to beg that you will give me plenty of room, for I am a great walker, and I do not like to wear any- thing that constrains me." "But,, Miss," exclaimed the poor fellow in great preplexity, "1 never in my life meas- ured a lady ;I—" And there be paused. " Are you not a lady's shoemaker ? ' wits the query calmly put to him. " By no means, miss," said he. "1 are a leather breeches maker, and I have come to take the measure, not of you, but Mr. Gil- bert." The young lady bonne perplexed, too, but she recovered her self-possession after a good commoner:awe laugh, and sent tha maker of breeches Viler grandpapa. An Appreciative Husband.
