Jalsey had not been able to at- ' end school during the last week I.tp►llgf the term, but he appeared at the exhibition, and early in the .evening came up to me, his round Ace all aglow with excitement. 'Teacher, oh, teacher,' he said, 4 haf a piece I would like to speak teo. 1 haf been a veek learning it''. 'Very, well, Jakey,' I said, 'you aballs'peak your piece: After sever- --al boys about his own age had ',spoken, I called : ' Jakey Seifert.' ' He came quickly forward, and stepped upon the stage, a comical picture of overgrown boyhood and childish excitement. His fat body clad in a pink calico waist, and around his neck was a huge em- broidered white collar, such as us- ed to be worn by our great -great - mothers. His face was shiny as soap and water could make it. After a jerky little bow, Jakey commenced : ' 'Mary had von leedle lamb.' -Then be stopped short and be- gan twitching at his trousers leg with the thumb and forefinger of either hand. 'Mary had von leedle lamb.' He stopped again and fell to twisting on one ieg. His lips moved rapidly, but no sound came from them. Some of the other boys began to laugh. Then Jakey cried out. 'You need not geegle like dot ! vos so—Mary did haf von leedle lamb ! It says so in the book 1' Everybody laughed at this, and Jakey,recovering his good nature, said, in a comically loud and shrill voice :— cannot dink how it vas in boetn•y.

Virtuous and noble deeds are better than high descent. Make the most of time, it flies away so fast; ye; method will teach yon to win time. We are always responsible for the existence of every evil which we have the power to destroy. The absence of legitimate em- ployment has probably made more gamblers than avarice.more drun- kards than thirst. .Never attempt to build up y our reputation by discounting that of others. It is a mean act, and will recoil upon your own head. How many think to atone for the evil they have done by the good they intend to do, and are virtuous in the prospective. It is wonderful what strength and boldness of purpose and en- ergy of will come from the feeling that we are in way of duty. To those who do good in the morning, every hour of the day brings pleasure,and for them peace and joy spring from every object around. Minard's Liniment cures Dandruff. A RELIGION OF Christianity is a religion of facts. They are not appendages —ornaments, so to speak, about the neck of a king, with regard to which it matters not whether they are worn or discarded. Miracles are more than proofs : they are constituent elements of revelation which unveils not only the mercy and tenderness,but also the power of God, and His sovereignty of nature. Take away the miracles, and there is an inexplicable chasm and inconsistency in these records which it would require a vast amount of wit and ingenuity to explain. Apostles and prophets were inspired of God to set forth the contents of divine revelation ; and even the historical books composed by them are permeated with the ideas drawn from a sup- ernatural source. The writings composed by pupils or attendants of the Apostles partake of the same character and are penetrat- ed with the perceptions that flow- ed fromltho authoritative teachers near whom they stood. Misinter- pretations of the essential nature of the Gospel were precluded by the agency of the Spirit who was to throw light on the s.yings of Christ, and on the events the meaning of which was at first so dark to the minds of the disciples. but was to become clear in the rettempect. All this is a part it, the common faith of Christians. —The Century. FACTS. wa x11.

A MILLIONAIRE FOR -ONE DAY America 1)tiC)', extl'aIL'dlnary exampies of the ups and dues u1' lite. George Sluthour, born in Nevl Philadelphia a poor boy, started out about fifteen years ago, deter- mined to make his fortune. Ile became a faro ;;;ambler and in a few years was worth $500,000. Sluthour was anxious to be worth a million before returning to his old home, and one night, when the room was tilled with men, many of them worth half a million, he determined to try lin' a big strike. Luck again favored him, and by three o'clock in the morning he had broken the hank and won enough to make him a cool mill- . ion. He was not satisfied with this, but kept on playing the next night. That very night he began to lose and before morning every pound ho had won the night before had vanished. lle was a million- aire, however, for one short day. Even with this loss ho still pos- essed ample fortune, but he began playing a deeperatogame, risking thousands at a time, but luck was against him. IIia-itl.gottenwealth completely- disappeared.

The special agent of the State Board of Agriculture of Kansas, brings the gloomy reports of the crop prospects in the northwest- ern part of the State. He is pre- paring a circular urging the farmers to save themselves from total loss by planting a second crop of corn, millet or cane. Special dispatches from various points iii Western Kansas state that the hot winds of the past three days have materially reduc- ed the already low condition of crops in that part of the State. The winds have literally cooked the corn until many fields will not yield a single ear. In the dry spots of the State the winds have also burned up the. grass.

Two and a half miles south of the little Mexican village of Las Hummettas, in western Arizona, there is a hole about three feet in diameter and of unknown depth from which a dense cloud of smoke and steam is constantly arising. For 100 feet on each side of the hole the ground is moist and heat- ed. Water collected in the holes dug in this moist ground has the tendency to make one very wake— ful, besides giving the face, hands and feet a paralytic numbness. Paris officers going to seize the goods of a woman against whom a judgment had been obtained found her lying apparently dead and pre- pared for burial in her rooms. They were about to retire when one of them could not resist the tempta- tion to pinch the plump arm of the woman.

The execution was made at once, and the goods sold. Tho Methodists in the British navy have asked for the appoint- ment of chaplains of their own faith.
