But what are your folks thinishe about, that they let you aid that baby go wauaerin' about the country ?" "My folks"," ebe repeated. "Wily, they're all gone. The last was Sam, Emily's father.

I wont forget it," and the bright, happy look came back. "You've been good to me, and I'll not forget it." Every now and then moods of deep thought oaine upon the woman, and ehe oealsied bet to all eonaolouaneaa of her aur- rosaidinga, When little Emily knelt at her aide for evening prayer, :the said, aolesuly,--- "Pray God, Hearse, we may Doors get home," The old woman looked at bar with vague trouble In her eyes. She seemed tryiug to tied some clew to,eomething in bar mind which evaded;ber. The next morning, alter an early break- fast, the old Woman in her vette way thanked her kind entertainers and prepared to go. "It's omen' on to snow, or freest'', mo - them," ,aid the farmer as he walked, to the gate venal her. " You'd, better atop hero with us to•day..

I couldn't min the way." She took the child's hand, and trembling In every limb, started orf. But when she badlgono a few steps, she ro- turnsad to Mr. Leo, who swat watching her with troubled eyes, "You've been ao good to me," aha eald, "I'll tell you where I'm goin', Bead down and let me whisper it in your ear. Honey I'm goin' to my children—there I" and then In pursuance of her idea to turn neither to left or right, she travelled straight before her on es long unused road, which led them into thorn bushes, and at Inst into a dreary wood. "There istt a miieepoet nor signboard acerb," the old woman muttered ; "but I am acre to be on the right road, I reckon this is the 'Valley of the Shadow,' and He promised to be with me." *" I don't see nobody," the child said, shivering. "And, Ojgrannie, I'm so cold 1" "Come, let's sit under this tree, dearie, and I'll wrap you up till you get home. No, you don't see nobody, and I can't sae, neither." "I'm so cold, grannie," murmured the child. » Can't you. walk on, dearie 2" ahe said. "No," 'sobbed the child, "my feet hurt, and I'm so tired, oh, so tired. Let me get into your lap, grannie, and go to sleep." Tenderly the old woman wrapped the ohild in her cloak, leaving herself exposed to the cold, which was Increasing, and chaf- ed her cold hands, until the little one fell into aeprofound sleep. "I've always heard say," she muttered, "it's darker and more stormy the hour before you get there. Per- haps we're very near now, and when the sun shines we'll see it, "' I see the jasper walls alight, Through cloud and storm of comin' night, Oh! blessed home, the way is long, But hope is clear, and faith fe strong.' " Two men found her late that afternoon. One was Mr. Lee, the other a tall, middle- aged man with a careworn face. " My God l here she is," said the farmer, "and we lost so much precious time goin down the other road." The other threw' his arms around the in. sensible form, and the movement awakened a the child. haho opened her eyes and stared .at Bins. • But he saw nothing but the face which now rested on his bosom. " Speak to me, mother," he Dried. " I've come back to you, your own Tom." Her eyelids quivered, and with a deep sigh she opened her eyes. "It's my Tom," she cried, in • tones of ecstasy. • "And I've got there at last ? Oh 1 there they all are I'm there at last." Yes, she was thereat leaf. She had gone honed. A dry -goods clerk took his girl out for som ice-cream the other night, and in a women of absent-mindedness, 'thinking that he was, waitingupon a oustomer, said cordially : Any- thing else 2" She took lemonade and cake. A lady sent her servant over to the house o'a sick neighbor. "Mrs. Smith flaunt me ober to ask you how your husband am comm on dins mawning." " Very bad, in. deed.' The doctor says he may die any minute," was the reply. "Den I reckon I had better Walt a little, ea I hsan't got nuffin' else ter do joss now."' SUNBEAMS' THE LIME-KUN CLUB.

I went to the window and look- ed at the clear blue sky and the golden field,, and wondered why human society must so torture itself with useless and cruel conven- tionalities.

A bum of interest ran along the gallery front when the cool little fellow was seen to get by far the hoariest blow al the fighttacrose his brow, which was soon cover- ed with blood. "They took off the goggles and tho blood ran into hie e9ea. Then they mopped It s and he was ready again, and in the next round gave .hie opponent another gash* on the left temple.

Several years since a correspondent cape Stockton (California) Harald gave the fol- lowing concerning small -pox and its remedy. I give it as published. "I herewith append a recipe vrhicb has been used to my know. ledge in hundreds of casae. It will prevent or cure the small -pox through the pittings and filling. When Jenner discovered cow pox in England, the world of science hurled an avalanche of fame upon hie head; but when the most scientific school of medicine in the world—that of Paris—published this recipe and panacea for small -pox it passed unheeded. It is as unfailing as fate, and. conquers in every instance. It is harmless when taken by a well person. It will, also cure scarlet fever. Here is the recipe as I have used it and cured my children of scar- let feverand small -pox, When learned phy- sicians said the patient must die, it cured. THE RECIPE. Sulphate of zinc, 1 gr. ; fox -glove (digitals), 1 gr. ; 1 teaspoonful of sugar. Mix with two tablespoonfuls of water. W hen thorough- ly mixed adclefour ounces of water, Take a teaspoonful every hour. Either disease will 3isappear in twelve hours. For a child, smaller doses according to age. For a' preventive take a teaspoonful before each meal. Children less quantity accord- ing to age. If countries would compel physiofans to use this there would be no need of pest- houses. If you value advioe and experience use this for that terrible disease: The writer has given the above reoipe as a preventive when small -pox was prevail- ing, and found it to correspond with the above -statements; it is therefore conceded not only a cure but a preventive. Itis hoped ahe papers will keep'the above before the public. "HEB.D,ESS or THE DEAD." TiteTrasalel*Husman Baaep.

A party of frightened sheep herders rode into Candelaria a few days ago covered with duet and ashes, and with numerous holes burnt in their clothing. They reported that on one day they were startled by an un- usual rumbling noise and trembling of the ground. At first they mistook the noise and rumble for thunder, but it was quickly followed by a tremendous explosion, and on looking up they ,were appalled at seeing a monntafn not far away belching forth a coltunn of flames and smoke several hundred feet in height. The air was noon filled with fiery cinders' and hot ashes, which came down upon them in clouds. The affrighted men immediately drove theiraheep to a plate of safety, and rode to .the nearest settlement with the startling news. Several exploring parties have gone to the scene of the erup- tion. A bright pink glow noticed in the, horizon at Virginia city for several nights is believed to have been caused by the erup- tion. State of Mohaulmedaniem. Speaking of the career of the Maledi and the present state of Mohammedanism, the Bev. Salah W. Brown nays :—" The, deln- elon, however, is not dead or dying. It has declined in political power and real re- ligious farce, but not in numbers nor fanati- cism. We are not hopeful for any great immediate change, unless it will be that they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.' But the whole Mohammedan world is fearfully looking for some great apostasy, because of an impression that these are their latter days." Mr. Brown gives the following description of a great university ; „Thr followers of Mohammed have the largest and oldest uni- versity in the world. It gives one some idea of the tremendous power of Moham- medanism to look in upon that famous mis- eionary ` school of thb prophets,' held in the great mosque, El Azhar, Cairo. In an im- mense hall or oonrt the students are gather ed, not by tens or hundreds, but by thou- sands. There, under one.raof, you will find ten thousand scholars I One of the most interesting sights we ever saw was that ' two acres of turbans,' and one of the most thril- ling sounds we ever heard was the perpetual murmuring of than ten thousand voices, all studying and reciting aloud. Each one of the three or four thousand' professors' sits at the foot of one of the marble porphyry columns of the' splendid' mosque, surround- ed by a group of scholars, of all ages, all sit- ting in Turkish style on the pavement. The students gather from many lands. They come from thousands of miles up the Nile— from beyond the great deserts of Africa— from the holy cities of Mecca, Medina, 3 er usalem,' and Damascus—from Turkey, Persia, India and China. In this university there are no endowments and no scholar- ships. The pfbfessors'do not reoeive a far- thing of salary, and the scholars do not pay a piastre for tuition. All are supported by the pittance they can earn elsewhere and the charities of the faithful. The students live on the coarsest of food, wear the podrest of clothing, and at night sleep on the base- ment of the mosque. Thus they eat and study, recite and sleep on the earn flocs. When the course - of study' ie complete they go out as .missionaries, Koran,40 hand, preaching the Moslem faith to the utter- most parts of the Mohammedan : world. These bigots do not relish the visits of ' Infidels' to their holy school. They scowl- ed at as, palling us Christian dogs,' saying as we crossed the threshold, ' May this be an entrance without an exit 1' " The heir to Mr. W, E.
