five years ago, when I wa< a pas

— ! casion one evening to visit a social
During one of the i me ling in trie church. One after
another arose and gave in his or h« r
experience. Alter a time a man in
humble circumstances, small in
stature, and an ellerniuale, .'(peak
ing voice, arose to give in a piece
of his experience, which was done
iu lire following m inner:
“Brethren, I have been a mem
ber of this church many years. 1
have seen hard times. My tamily
have been much afflicted, but I have
for the first time in my lile to see
my pastor or any of the trustees of
this church cro-s the thtcshhold ol
my door.”
No sooner had he uttered this
part of his exp rience than he was
suddenly interrupted by one .of
the trustees, an aged man, who
rose up and said in a firm, loud
voice:
“My dear brother, you must put
the devil behind you.”
On taking his seat the pastor in
charge arose and replied to the little
man as follows:
“My dear brother, you must re*
member that we shepherds are sent
to the lost sheep of the house of Is
rael.”
Whereupon the little man rose
again, and in answer said iu a very
loud tone ot voice:
“Yes, and ii I’d been a fat one
you’d have found me long ago.”
The effect upon the audience can
be better imagined thru described.
ter having been twice or thrice con
ducted to the hospital, where he ex
tended himself to be dressid, he af
terwards went alone. The surgeon
did whatever he thought necessary,
applying even fire to the wound,
and though the pain made the ani
mal ulier the most plaintive groans,
he never expressed any other token
than that of gratitude lo this person
who, by momentary torments, en
deavored lo relieve him, and in the
end effected Lis cure.
In the last war in India a young
elephant received a violent wound
in his head, the pain of which ren
dered it so franlic and ungoverna
ble that it was found impossible to
persuade the animal to have the part
dressed. Whenever any one ap-
in several yards of it. The man
who had the care of it at length hit
upon a contrivance for securing it.
By a few words and signs fie ga\e
lire mother of the animal sufficient
intelligence of what he wanted. The
sensible creature immediately seized
the young one with her trunk and
held it firmly down, though groan
ing with agony, while the surgeon
completely dressed the wound, and
she continued to perform this ser
vice every day until the wound was
healed.
In a little village in Virginia there
lived a lamity named Ransom. They
were not pious people—rather on
the reprobate order, in fact—and
they never went to church. Once,
however, during a revival, the fam
ily were prevailed upon to attend
preaching. When they made their
reluctant and tardy appearance the
services had begun, and they had
scarcely taken their seats when the
preacher gave out the first hymn,
reading it somewhat thus : “ Return
ye ransom’ sinner's home.” “ All
right,” cried the head of the Ran

Fortune, success, fame, and po
sition are never gained but by pi
ously, determinedly, bravely stick
ing, growing, living to a thing till
it is fairly accomplished. In short,
you must carry a thing through if
you want to be anybody or anything.
No matter for these. Stick to the
thing and carry it through. Believe
you were made for the matter, and
that no one else can do it. Put forth
your whole energies. Be awake,
electrity yourself, and go forth lo
the task. Once learn to carry a
thing through in all its completeness
and proportion, and you will be
come a hero. You will think better
of yourself, others will think better
of you. The world in its very heart
admires the stern, determined doer.
It sees in him its light, its brightest
olject, its richest treasure. Drive
right along then, in whatever you
undertake. Consider yourself an.**
ply sufficient for the deed. You’ll
be successful.

A Child Frightened into Imbecility.
A Fearful Wanting for Parents—-A
Lije long Idiot through a Father *
Stubbornness.
A few weeks ago o family named
Woodstock, arrived in this cay from
Weschester, N. Y., intending lo set
tle in the Stale, and accepted the in-
vitaliuii of an old acquaintance, re
siding on Russel street, to stop with
hi rii tor a week or two until they
tiad decided where to locate. Not
being suited with the city, Wood-
stock lo k a trip lo the interior, and
purchased a farm in Berrien county.
Fie came back Saturday night, and
the family would have left Monday,
only for the occurrence ol a sad af
fair due lo the puritanical ideas and
hard-lit artedness of the father.
The youngest of the children is a
boy about four years old, who, be
ing a pel, lias been allowed to sleep
with his parents. Sunday night the
Wood stocks, desiring to go lo church,
an effort was made to get the boy to
go to bed with the older brother. He
was frightened and timid ami made
great opposition, saying ‘that he was
afraid of bears and wolves.’ The
opposition irritated the lather, and
he declared that he would not go to
church and that Charlie should go
to sleep in that bed. As the child
kept crying and teasing, the older
one was made to g t up auii *le< p
elsewhere. 'Phis di«l not help mai

said he would.
The hoy screamed at the top of
his voice for a few minutes, beat on
the door, and entreated lo be l ken
out, but ihe father was unrelenting
as a rock. The wails gradually died
aw’ay, the lad ceased to shoot, and
after half an hour the door was open
ed. He was not found asleep, as
expected, but h* vv-scrouch* d town
hi a comer, his feet drawn up unu* r
him, and it took only r l nerit to
convince the parents thnt tno boy
had been tendered a lunatic or an
idiot. He laughed and talked to
himself, did not reply to a question,
yave no one any notice, and when
the mother realized \vh*i had oc
curred, she fainted away. Every
effort was made by the friends to
bring the boy’s reason back, but all
tailed. He would not speak, gave
the other children no notice, but
wanted to roll around on the floor
and play with spools and sticks. A
physician was called Monday, and
two more Tuesday, but all were
agreed that the boy’s reason had
been affected by his fright, and that
he might be an idiot for the rest of
his days. The circumstance has
nearly broken the mother’s heart,
and the father carries a conscience
which any criminal short of murder
would not enjoy.—Detroit Free Press.
The Way to be Miserable.—
Sit idly down and allow your
thoughts to dwell upon the ‘might

helping hand. When a friend ofL

and all its sensual gratifications to
