( books, it acted very differently. Wliat-
i ever this boy did, lie got into trouble,
j The very things the boys in the bodes got
, rewarded for turned out to bo the most
1 unprofitable things he could invest in.
j Once when he was on bis way to Sun
day School he saw some bad boys start
ing off pleasuring in a sail-boat. He was
; filled with consternation, because he
i knew from his reading that boys who
went sailing on Sunday got drowned.—
1 So he ran out on a raft to warn them,
. but a log turned him and slid him into
the river. A man got him out pretty
soon, ami tho doctor pumped tho water
out of him and gavo him a fresh start
with his bellows, but he caught cold and
lay sick abed nine weeks. But tho mart
nuaeconntable f , about it was that the
liad boys in tho boat had a good time all
dnv, and then niched homo alive and
well, in the most surprising manner.—
Jacob Blirens said there was nothing like
these things in the books. He was per-
| fc< tly dumbfounded
When he got well he was a little dis
couraged, but he resolved to keep on
' tiying, anyhow. He knew that so far
1 his experiences wouldn't <lo to go in a
book, but he hadn’t yet reached the
allotted term of life for good little boys,
and he hoped to be able to make a record
yet, if lie could hold on till his time was
fully np. If everything else failed, he
had his dying speech to fall back on.
He examined his authorities, and found

cruelty to hamper them with manifold

in wait for him around the corner, os he

Sunday School book. It made lnm
tendere.st emotions of ship captains, and
opened the way to all offices of libi
and profit in their gift—it never had
any book that ever he had read. He
could hardly believe his Reuses.
This boy always had a liard time of it
Nothing ever came out according to the
authorities with him. At last, one day
when he was around hunting up bad little
boys to admonish, he found a lot of them
in the old iron foundry fixing up a little
joke on fourteen dogs, which they had
tied together in long procession, and were
going to ornament with empty nitro
glycerine cans made fast to their tails.—
Jacob’s heart was touched. He sat down
on one of those cans—for ho never rail
ded grease when duty was before him-
aud he took hold of tho foremost dog by
the collar, and turned his reproving eye
upon wicked Tom Jones, But just at that
moment Alderman McWalter, lull of
wrath, stepped in. All tho bad boys ran
away. Jacob Blivens, in conscious in
nocence, began one of those stately little
Snnday School book speeches which
always commenceil wuh “Oh, Sir!” in
deed} opposition to tho fact that no boy,
good or bad, ever starts a remark with
Oh, Sir!” But tho Alderman never
waited to hear the rest. Ho took Jacob
Blivens by tho car and turned him around
hit him a whack in the rear with tho flat
of his hand; and in an instant that good
little l»oy shot out through tho roof ami
soared away towards tho sun, with the
fragments of thoso fifteen dogs stringing
after him like tho tail of a kite. And
there wasn’t a sign of that Alderman or
that old iron foundry left on tho earth;
and as for young Jacob Blivens, lie never
got a chance to make liis last dying
speech, after all his trouble fixing it np,
unless lie made it to tho birds; because,
although tho bulk of him came down all
right in ojtroe-top in an adjoining coun
ty, the rest of him was apportioned
around among four _townships, and so
they had to hold five inquests on him to
find out whether he was dead or not, and
how it occnred. You never saw a boy
scattered so.
Thus perished the good little boy who
did the best he cotild, bnt didn’t come
out according to the books. Every boy
who ever did as he did prospered, except
hipi. His case is truly remarkable.—
It will probable never be accounted
for.

D. A. GREENE,
_ Sentence of death was once passed
npon a notorious villain by a popular
judge, who desired to maintain and ex
tend his popularity. He said : “Mil
Oreen, yon have just been found guilty.
Will you have the kindness to stand np,
Mr. Green ? I really would not trouble
you, Mr. Green, bnt such is the establish
ed custom of the Conrt. As I was saying,
Mr. Green, vou have been found guilty
little uncomfortable sometimes
when he reflected that the good little
boys always died. He loved to live, yon
know, and this was the only unpleasant
feature of being n Sunday School boy.
Ho knew it was not healthy to be good.
He knew it was more fatal than consump
tion to be so supernatnrally good aa the
boys in the books were; he knew that
none of them liad ever been able to stand
it long, and it pained him to think that
if they pnt him in a book ho wouldn’t
live to see it; or if they did get the book
out before he died, it would not bepopu
lar without any picture of bis funeral ii
the back part of it I couldn’t be much
of a Snnday School book that couldn't
tell abont the advice he gave to the com
munity when he was dying. So at lost,
of course, he had to make up liis mind to
do the best he conld under tho circum
stances—to live right, and hang on as
long as he could, and have his dying
speech already when his time came.
'But somehow nothing ever went right

Fashions—Something We Should
Laugh at if seen in Africa.
We might have thought it absurd if Dr.
Livingstone had written three years ago
that ho hod found in Africa a tribe, the
woraeu of which dress aa follows: “The
Dayoiw are beautiful women, with ex
quisite complexion and fine forms, and
they dress in tho most perfect taste.
They wear short dresses reaching the
ankles. Upon the forehead is peorched
a small hat, the front of which rest** upon
the nose. They take largp bogs of hair
and wool, saturate them with butter and
hang them on tho back of tho head,
covering tho neck. Upon tho small of
tho back they tie a bunch of cotton cloth,
colored and cut into strips. Their shoes
arc beauties; coming to a point at the too
and having tho long and sharp-pointed
heel placed under the middle of the foot
This makes tho foot very small in appear
ance, but the wearer would tip over for
ward but for tho bags on tho head and
back. Each woman, when sho goes ont,
carries a large plantain leaf to keep off
the sun, which sho holds by tho stem
between the thnmbnnd forefinger, crook
ing her elliow np from Lcr l>ody at an
angle of ninety. The effect is more 1 »cati-
tiftil than you* can imagine. Tho gait of
the women is particularly admired. The
heavy ones have difficulty in keeping
their balance, liut the light ones pick
their way along as prettily as hens walk
over hot ashes. Young girls go barefoot
ed. For Romo years after they aro of
ago to put on their shoes, they snffer with
lameness and sore feet—after that their
feet become permanently deformed, and
they have no more pain. Walking, is,
however, not a favorite practice with
them, and running is impossible. The
Government of the Dayons is really demo
cratic, tho rnlcr being chosen annually
by vote of all the people; yet it is said the
women do not want to vote. All they
core for is plenty of hair and little shoes.
The men are satisfied with this divis
ion, and the State is quite prosperous,
though the society is rather vulgar and
unintellcctual. "
Said the 1 ite Amos Lawrence, of Bos-
n. “low* my present position in so
ciety, under God, to the fact that I never
used rum or tobacco.”
A young man’s affections aro nob al
ways wrong, bnt they are generally miss-
placcd.
Why is fashionable society like a warm
ing pan ? Because it is highly polished,
bnt very hollow. %
An ol(] lady was asked what she
thought of the eclinse. Sho replied:
“ Well it proved ono thing, and that is
that the papers don’t always lie.”
There is a curious Chinese proverb
which says, “In a cucumber field do not
stop to tic your shoo ; and under a plum
tree do not wait to settle your cap on
your head;” which means, if yon do,
some one may think yon are stealing
the cucumbers or tho plums.
Queer how the satuo thing sometimes
produces opposite results. A child is
tickled with a straw; a grown pereon is
soothed with one—when one end is in a
cobbler.
Some of tli© strong-minded women de
nounce matrimony because they say there
Vicious habits are so great a strain to
human nature and so odious in them
selves, tliat every person actuated by
right or reasoiif would avoid them though
he was suro they would bo always con
cealed from l>oth God and man, and liad
a future punishment entailed upon them.
As the Mohammedan never casts away
the least scrap of paper, lest the namo of
God should bo written upon it, so should
onr minutes be cherished, as they may
bear characters affecting our dearest in
terests, both in timo and eternity.
Tito late Dr. Bethnne wrototo his Con
sistory tbeso memorable words:
never despair of a church tliat pnts
the cause of mercy first and itself second.”
Again ho says: “I wonld as soon try to
cultivate a farm witliont rain as a church
without benevolence,” and, “I hate to be
economical with the Bread ot Life.”

Delirium Tremens
The following vivid description is from
one of John B. Gough’s lectures :
“I once knew a man who was torment
ed with a human face that gleared at him
from the walk He wiped it ont,—it was
there perfect as before. He stood back
some paces, and saw it again. Maddened
to desperation, he went to it and struck
it again, and again, and again, until the
wall was spattered with blood, and the
bones of his hand wero broken,—all this
beating ont a phantom. That is the
horror of delirium tremens. I remember
when it struck me—God forgive me that
I drank so much os to lead to it, although
not one-half so much os some who drank
with me. Tho Grst gloss with me was
like fire in the blood; tho second was os
concentric rings in tho brain; the third
made mo dance and shout; the fourth
made mo drunk, and God help me! I
drank enough to bring upon mo that
fearful disease. I remember ono niglit,
when in bed, trembling with fright.—
Something was coming into tho room—
what it was I knew not. Suddenly the
candle seemed to go out. I know the
light was burning; I struggled to get to
it, and wonld have held my hand there

shapes seemed gathering round, and yet

that deprived them of a voico and vote

whatever lias been given by the General
Government. On the contrary, its aots
have been aggressive to the last extent,'
and it is no exaggeration to say that the
