Rev. Elijah P. Brown, Editor of the Ram's Horn, gives his experience as fol. lows : The thing above all others that kept me from becoming a Christian in youth, was that there was no manifestation of love in my childhood life. Love was a term that had no meaning, limns* it did not enter into my experience. As I un- derstood it, it was something to be dread. ed. I learned before my parents died how dearly they loved me, but their own rearing and oircumsbanoes had been snob as to make them suppress all demonstra- tions of affection. I have no recollection of ever having eat on my father's lap, and Cannot remember that my mother ever kissed me. There was n000mmnni• on :i love between parent and Child, tbeogb my heart was starving for it. Love was never mentioned except when I was to be punished. My parents were Imputation.not unisind,but they required Imputation. obedience. Perhaps my greatest misfortune was that my father himeelf had never known What it was to be a child. Hie mother had died when he was an infant, and he had been bound out to a family in which there were no Children, and had almost grown to manhood without being brought in Contact with a child. This; coupled with the fagthat he was an invalid all the days of his life, made it impossible for him to get into sympathy with a boy. He couldn't make out why I did not want to be sitting down and keeping still. My father's house was a home of want. It was seldom that there was broad for all and to spare. We lived in a plain, little, whitewashed House of three rooms. Twenty-five dollars would have more than covered the first poet of all the furniture. We had no Carpet nor pie. tures nor other decorations. No books except tbo family Bible and hymn book, an Enghlohr reader and a bodk of teligieee moditatione. The 000kiegavae all done in the old•flaehioriei4 Way,•iii an open fire - plats. There Were no $ewere in the door• yard, but my mother had a "hen and chickens," ands tole other simple planta in W00den boxes, illy parents both worked in a wooion enoughato by, W000l foto as p oklag thbig Chine I also became a teller with a money value. I thea found out early what it meant to earn my bead by the sweat of my brow. I do not think I over owned a t is 003 U o that .imus and itn y , wee of Pto that I bad a (Ammo to tnjoy ala 110u0 of (Mathieu play. A thing that greatly perplexed me in my childhood days was, that whatever I set my beam upon wee almost sure to be taken fawn) are, If I had a pet dog 00 a ohioken it would either die or become lost or stolen. Such expetionoes soon made One older than my years. They made the think and `aak queetione to which I could find no answers. I 000ldn't understand why myfathor wee 0o poor, while moth. er man who swore and never went to olivreh could live in a big house and have a wagon and horses, I wanted to know why my mother bad to wear oalioo while other women oonld have silk. I couldn't tell why it was that another boy who wasn't any bettor than I was, Could have a pony and line clotlmo, and all the play. things he wanted, while I bed to go in patches, and couldn't oven have a bop or some marbles. It made my age a great deal on a Christmas morning, when seven or eight years old, to find nothing in my stocking but an apple, while neighboring children were rejcioing in all kinds of toys and candy. Some very bright eunehine Dame into my lifefor a little while through a baby brother, only to be followed by the blaok- est shadow. He was dwarfed and deli. Cate, but had a spirit ae bright as a glimpse of heaven, How T loved him, and how soon 5forgot that this world had any trouble in it for boys whenever his hand was in mine, Bub how brief was my joy. His coming and going was like the flight of a sparrow through a build. ing. When be was four years old I look • ed upon hie pale, pinched face, as liie seemed to lie sleeping in a ooein, and for the firsb.time found myself oonfrouting the mystery of death, with a heart that seemed to bleed at every sob. Surely there ie no sadder sight upon which angels have to look than the life of a lonely Child. Sunday at our house was the longest and most dismal day in the week. I could always tell when it came without the help of an almanao. The first thing that happened in the way of downright trouble was that I had to be washed, and the next was that had to go to the Sab- bath Sobool. Everything was dismal in the ohureh my parents attended. The benches were straight and stiff, and evi- dently made by a Carpenter who didn't love the Lord. There was nothing in any of the services to make religion at. tractive to a child. Flowers and cheerful melodies and happy looks would have been very muoh out of place in that Church. The story of the gospel was not explain- ed therein a way to make young eyes brighten and little hearts expand with ova, but it seems to me that about every- thing was done that oould be to get the ittle folks to think that the main object of religion was to keep them from having a good time in this world. Something to drive the light out of the home, and make verything as cheerless as the grave to hem on the Sabbath. I speak of these hinge ae they impressed me, and follow• d we into life, It may be taken for ranted that we are not helping the cause f God when we aro making the Sabbath day of dread to the little ohild. At the lose of Sabbath school Dams the preach. ng service. Before it was half out I waif orry that I wasn't in the factory at work. We had a preacher whose firstly nd lastly was made up mainly of noise. He would stand there in the old -fashion• d -pulpit and roar and pound and pound nd roar and slander his heavenly Father ntil my yonug blood ran oold. He un- erlook .to preach about mercy some- imes, but when he did it was sure to be u a bulldog fashion. A. thing that made ho preaching do me great injury in those ender years, was an impression that I ad somehow gotten that it was the A1• igbty himself who was speaking to us n an absolute way by the preachers tips. People with long Sunday fame would et up and balls about what a hard thing t was to serve God, and I oould say Amen I" with every bone and muscle in y tired body. The prayer meeting was great mystery to me. Everybody seem. d to be distressed almoet to death, and of they nearly all Claimed to be happy. bad never Cried when I was happy hen, and their talk was all Greek. On the way home I would ask my father all kinds of puzzling questions out religious matters. When I would et him in a close corner his reply always as that there were a great many things lint a boy couldn't understand. There was another meeting at three o'. sok in the afternoon, and this my father nd I nearly always attended. The lead - r was lame in one leg. Ho bad been rippled so that his right leg was stiff, nd hie foot pointed to the south when e faced the east. There were benches 1 around the room on which the people t, and the leader walked around in the ntre. He would go from person to per - n, and stand in front of each while he oke. About the only thing I Could do wimpy nay thoughts, while the people ant over the stories I knew by heart, as to watch hie lame leg as he swung it nand, and wonder if be couldn't walk ttsr side ways.

Daunt's rook is the point off which the mail steamers stop to land or take on board by tenders passengers and mail bags. The "Majeetie" landed nineby.five bags of mail for points ie Ireland, and 015:20 o'elook proceeded for Liverpool. It was expected that mails on board of her destined for London would arrive there by midnight Wednesday night. Muoh interest was felt in the delivery of these mails, for the reason that the American lino steamer "Flew York," Captain Jamieson, whioh.left New York on the same day as the "Majeetio," but bound for Southampton, had a. heavy' mail, which, it is said, she wait to have put down to ,London before the "Majae tie's" )nail arrived.

Temperance, Zap 01110 nvom IN Tae nun. People often sing, "Where Is My Wap• daring Boy To -night 7" but the truth is when the parents went to °burgh or to the temperance meeting this "wandering boy" also left home and joined his associates on the street corner, The parents are singing this song and ehoutibg "Down with the saloon 1" while they are giving their boy full liberty to do as be pleases, And he generally Byes up to his privil. egos. This is one phase of a large sub• jeot, and it is a phase whish should be looked squarely An the fade. However ardent parents may be in supporting the pause of temperanoe, they may by their very negleot, by their shortcoming in home training, help to foetor the liquor traffic. Their plain and manifest duty is to nip the evil in the bud by wise and careful trainingof their boys in all that is excellent and lovely and of good re- port. In the work of temperance reform every one must build over against his own house. Wean AND ITS WORD. The prevalent use of beer is deplorable. Bear drinking makes men elapid, lazy and incapable.—I3ismarok. It is not poverty but beer that robs our children of knowledge.—Mary Dwinell challis. Beer is a far more dangerous enemy to Germany than all the armies of France. —Von Moltke. Most drunkards commence on beer and wine and finally drink the stronger hover. ages. A beer drank he the worst kind of a drunk, --L. D. Mason, M. D. We can prove with mathematical cer- tainty that as much flour aa Can lia on the point of a table knife is more nutri• Hong than eight quarts of the beet Bava- rian beer.—Baron Liebig. ' RAM'S BORN BLASTS. A loafer is never satisfied with hie wages. A drunkard's throat has no bottom to it. When people have only a little religion they are apt to be ashamed of it, The man goes to bed tired who spends the day in looking for an easy place. The easiest thing for a fool to do is to tell bow little he knows. As long as prize fighting pays se mnob better than preaching, the devil will feel that be still owns the earth. Some fiddlers can play a tune on one string, but it never makes anybrdy want to dance, Angela weep on the day a young man begins to spend more money than he eau make. A hypocrite feels better satiefled with himself every time he sees u good man make a mis step. A mistake is apt to attract more at• tension to us than a virtue. The man who leans on his blessings Cannot walk straight, Many of the sine that shine the bright- est will kill the quickest. The devil soon runs from the man who is not afraid of a lion's den. With all his practice the devil has never improved on the first bypoorite. Good fortune sometimes comes to see us in a very shabby -looking carriage. - o Sam. Houston's Duel, A goad story was told in one of the oommittes rooms at the capitol the other day, touching the seesnbional career in Washington of the Hon. Sam Houston, of Texas. It was some time in the '40s, not long after Houston had come to the Senate. The great Texan was attended by the faithful blank from Virginia bear. ing the distinguished name of Richard Henry Lee. Richard proved himself a good body servant in all things but one. He attended faithfully on every want of his eccentric master, who was keeping bachelor's quarters ; bub no argument was sufficeutly perenaeive to induce Riohary Henry Lee to keep his rooms ill order. A general air of slothful negleot marked the surroundings of their domes- tio establishment, and time and again Houston threatened to have Riobard flayed and his black uike hung over the bank yard fence as an example to all svil•doere. Things went on in this way until one day Houston returned to his rooms from the senate and found the condition of affairs at home so bad that he intended then and there to teaoh hie flunkey a lesson. He deliberately looked the door, without saying a word, oroseed over to a table, where he kept his pistol Case, i opened it very Calmly, removed ' two pistols, loaded them, handed one to Rioh. aid, and took the other himself. 'Row, Richard Henry Lee,' be began ie a low voice that boded ill, 'you stand in that corner while I take my position in this, opposite you, face to face, man to man, pistols in hand. You have betray. ed my Confidence and trampled on my feelings until patience nae Ceased to be a virtue. I have reasoned and pleaded with you to maintain my room in a state of cleanliness which, as a free born Texan, I am aoousbowed, and you have basely ignored my wishes in the prenatal(' and you have gone on in your slothful ways without regard either to my feelings or my comfort, Nora, you infernal scamp, I have made up my mind to kill you.

With ashen, facie Richard Henry, who, despite Iiia negligence loved hie master mite* devotedly, kook hie 'stand in the Corner aesigned him and rnaohanioally followed Houston's motions, Tile '1?exan took a handlteeellief oat of hie pookot, wllloll he held aloft as a signal, and then r ii t a sed his p stoi with the other hand to level with )lie laoltey's Roast, As he did so an involuntary smile flitted across big facie, and inetanily Rlehttrd dropped the pistol, while lrhs face woad out into a huge smile, I say, Mare Sopo,' the ellonted in a transport of great rejoicing. 'I thought yo' raly meant it, but yo' just pokin' fun at me. Goramity,' he added, with a sigh of relief, 'it makes me shiver to think bow near yo' was to death. Dat emily was flat sitVed yo' life,' Houston told the story frequently as a good joke on himself, assuring lie hearers that he was positive that Richard would have killed him if he had Carried the joke a hair's breath further.
