A few ye ears ago •. large drug linn ad

among them a queer-lf joking little fel
low, aecnmpaiimd by a woman, who
proved mhe his aunt, in lieu of father
less parents, hv whom fm had been aban
doned. Looking at this little waif, the
merchant in his store* said, “Can’t take
him : plapes all lull; la jitjes, he is too
small. 17 “I know Iyft,\g small, said the
woman, ,‘lmt he is,>C]!jngand faithful.”
There was. 4 twinkle. ;n the hoy’s eye
which made thp merchant thfuk again.
A partner in the firm volunteered to re
mark that “he did not see that they wan
ted such a boy—he wasn t bigger than a

had allowed the 1 laze of the lamp
to touch‘the combustible matter of
an unfinLshcU inatross, and upon
rushing Uj ijo scone, our e ves rested
upon if scene that almost paralyzed
our lie: txs'with fear, in the fright
ful gh?ra ot light stood the little
ones almost enveloped in flic flames
that luaj reached the ovoj..hoad ceil
ing, and • not ha ving the necessary
ton‘thought', so essential in an em
ergency, we grahed the burng mass
in 0111 .UIIIIS without throwing any
thing oyer the roaripg Janies, and
in attempting to deeeiu*, .the stair

oppmupe time \lis, Smith with a
remarkable presence* of mind, threw
a bed <piilt over the largest flame,
thus sjjr 'thering jh until all the small
er ones ’could 1 be kicked down in-
to_ tlio hall and out into the yard,
without further loss than painful
burns, wlijic we write this the
outside of the hands is almost a
solid blister. It is a, remarkable
fact that Mr. Maddox heard ilie
alarm in time to help extinguish the
flames just as he had dreamed, and
tlu fh-e caught in the identical
room. ayid whether their is anything
in dreams u;\j * -we t hi>
’was a pppm kablo yaso, and the
sercamang of the frightened children
and screaks of.the (crofted ladies,
.commingling with the roaring and

“Mt. Mulberry, why is it vou al

“I say minister because it is cor
