under a load of debt. Its edifice,
built in the flush times following
the war, was an ambitious
piece of architecture— the
church of the future
beyond a doubt, since it was much
larger than the needs of its congre
gation—and the pews were still va
cant which the sanguine builders
had expected to see filled up by the
men who were to pay off the mort
gages.
The Rev. Mr. Thorpe, the pastor,
had carried the debt now for two
years; it had been the burden of his
days the night-mare of his dreams;
at length he had brought the con
gregation to the point of attacking
it. He had made several anxious
pilgrimags to rich Methodists in
neighboring cities, but found small
encouragement; it was evident
that the Methodists in New Albion
must shoulder their own load.
Accordingly, the first .Sunday in
October was devoted to a carefully
planned effort for the payment of
the debt. Mr. Thorpe had conclu-
ed to dispense with the services of
a “finangelist” and to direct his
own forces. There was to be no re
gular servicein the church, but the
public were invited to meet at tea
o’clock in the forenoon, and,‘by the
grace of God, the meeting would
not adjourn, Mr. Thrope said, un
til the debt was paid. A collation
was provided in the basement, so
the people might spend the Gay.
in the work.
.The debt amounted to thirty-two
thousand dollars, and when the
meeting opened seventeen thous
and dellars was at once subscribed,
this amount having been secured
beforehand, by private conference
with the abler contributors.
This excellent start awakened
great enthusiasm, and, for a time,
subscriptions came in rapidly; but
long belore noon the limit of the
people’s ability seem to haye been
reached, and the list only footed
up to about twenty four thousand
dollars.
Mr Thorpe kept his forces well in
in hand however and showed no
signs , of wavering, Exhortations
and appeals were interspersed with
singing; a’judicious and energetic
committee did a good deal of per
sonal work with individuals; mes
sengers were dispatched to labor
with absentees. But it seemed
evident that the large gifts had
been gathered in, and still there
was a'deficiency of more than seven
thousand dollars that the small sub
scriptions yet to be obtained would
by no means supply.
As Mr. Franklin, of the Congrega
tional Church walked home after
the morning service, with his pas
tor, they passed the door of the Me
thodist Church.
“Let us look in for a moment,”
said the parson, “and see how they
are getting on.”'
They sat down in one of the back
seats and watched the proceedings.
From Mr. Thorpe’s occasional re
marks they learned the situation
of affairs and saw that the case was
probably hopeless, though tire re
solute leader did not for a moment
assent to such a conclusion.
As they walked along, Mr. Frank
lin said:
“Making a strong fight arn’t
they?”
“Yes.”
“But tlp?y will nqt take the fort ?”
“I don’t know.”
“I do; they’ve got to the sticking
point, and they will not get past
it.”
“Pity,” said Mr. Strong sententi-
ously.
After a moments thought, he ad
ded, with a new interest:
“Is it lawful to pull your fellow
creatures out of a pit on the Sab
bath day ?”
“I should say so, especially if he
is trying to get out himself?”
“Lawful to hitch up your horses
and pull him out?”
“Yes,” laughed the minister.
“Well, you go home and get your
lunch and I’ll get joine and have
Major put into the buggy, i’ll be
around before one o’clock and we’ll
see what we can do.
“All right!”
It was not long before the good
white horse came at a week-day
pace to the door of the parsonage
and the friends were soon whirling
away.
“Now, we’ve got to be swift,” said
the banker. “My first thought was
to call on some of our own people,
but I am now inclined to give some
of the rest a chance. The Episco
palians and the Free Baptists have
a heavy debt of their own ; the Ad
ventists are not able to help much;
we must enlist the others. Brins-
made must call on the First
They were stopping at Mr. Brins-
made’s door, and the master of the
house answered the bell.
“We have set out,” said Mr.
Franklin, “to give the Methodists a
lift in paying their church debt.—
Will you go and stand in the vesti
bule of your church and waylay as
many as you can of your strongest
men as they go into the afternoon
service, and get subscriptions from
them ? Start the paper yourself.—
Then ask Dr. Phelps to take a col
lection before the sermon for the
same object. Get cash subscrip
tions payable to morrow at my
bank. Report the amount to me
at Mr. Strong’s house by four ’o-
clock sharp, Will you do it?
“What a steamboat you are!” said
Brinsmade laughing.
“Will you do it?” said Franklin
strenuously. “No time for non
sense, old fellow?”
“Yes, I’ll do it.”
“All right. Good bye ?”
Afid the white horse was soon
flying down the street.
None of the other churches had
afternoon services, and all that
could he done in them must be
done by personal application to a
few of the more prosperous mem
bers.
But Mr. Franklin had selected
the right man as canvasser in each
society, and after they had been set
at work, he and his pastor return
ed to their own parish, which they
divided between them, contriving
before four o’clock t° see a good
portion of its most generous mem
bers. At that hour they met at the
parsonage, as by agreement, bring
ing them a much larger sum than
the most sanguine of them had
hoped to get.
“They came down handsomely,”
said Brinsmade. “Three or four re
fused to give anything; but most of
them had their names down before
they knew it. It dropped on them
so sudden like, that they hadn’t
time to hunt up excuses. The old
doctor warmed up to the business
beautifully, and he begged like a
professional. Didn’t'suppose it was
in him. They brought in nearly
four hundered dollars in the boxes
besides all I got from individuals.”
The others had much the same
story to tell, Sympathy with the
Methodists in their courageous
effort was universal, audit had
found a generous expression,
“Now each of you sit down and
write a short letter,’ said Mr. Fank-
lin, “explaining that the amount
you have collected is from friends
in your church, naming the amount
and stating where it may be cal led
for to-morrow, and we’ll go over at
once and send the letters up to
Brother Thorpe, 1 trust he Is hold
ing out yet, but it must be pretty
tough for a man who doesn’t be
lieve in the perseverance of the
saints to hang to such a poor prom
ise.”
It was about half past four when
Mr. Franklin and his friends en
tered the Methodist Church. The
back seats were all occupied,
they stQQrt in the space behind the
pews and looked on. The church
was pretty well filled, and Mr.
Thorpe was still keeping up a
lively fire on appeal and argument
but there were no responses, and it
was plain that hope had departed
from most of the solicitors,
“Will you walk forward and take
seats, gentlemen ? said one of them.
“No, I thank you,” answered Mr.
Franklin. “We are only lobby
members. How do you get on ?”
“Slowly.”
And the solicitor shook his head
dolefully.
“How much have you got?”
“Only a little »over twenty-five
thousand,”
“Why don’t you stop where you
are?”
“Then we lose everything. The
greater partqf the heavy subscrip
tions are conditional upon raising
of the whole debt.”
“Won’t your subscribers make
them unconditional ?”
“No. We’ve begged them to hut
they are obstinate.”
“Pity, isn’t it ?’,
“Yes, sir. It will he a hard blow
if we fail uow.”
The discouraged gentlemen
walked away.
Mr. Franklin’s air had been so
indifferent that he had not ventured
to ask him for anything.
“Send up your letter, Brinsmade,’
whispered Franklin. “Get that
small boy to take it up.”
The small hoy toddled up the
aisle and handed the envelope ; to
Mr. Thorpe, who tore it open
eagerly.
“Hallelujah!” shouted the Impe
tuous Methodist. “Brethren’ listen
to this; ‘The First Congregational
Church of New Albion sends greet
ing to the First Methodist church,
with a pledge of sixteen hundred
and seventy-five dollars, to be paid
to-morrow at 12 o’clock, noon, by a
check upon the First National
Bank.’ This is signed on behalf of
the church by James W. Brins
made.”
The reading of the letter was fol
lowed by a storm of cheers and all
the usual Methodist responses, in
the midst of which the organ struck
up cloxology, and the whole congre
gation rose to its feet and sang with
a tremendous energy.
“Will Brother Brinsmade come
forward?”shouted Mr. Thorpe.
But before he had time to insist
on this a littie girl was mounting
the pulpit with another envelope,
which the pastor received with
trembling hand.
This letter stated that five hun
dred and fifteen dollars, the gift of
a few friends in the Universalist
Church, would be on deposit the
next day, at the same hour and
same place. Over this the furore
was doubled, one enthusiastic
brother mounting a seat and call
ing for “the second yerse of the
Doxology.”
“Better not protract the agony,”
said Franklin to Ellsworth
The good minister, who had now
for six hours been under a continu
ous nervous strain, in whose heart
confidence laid given way to anx
iety, and anxiety was beginning to
change to discouragement, was so
completely overcome by the con
tents of the other two envelopes
that he sat down in liis chair and
could not speak for a moment and
at length rose and half sobbed:
“Two more brethren. One from
friends in the Baptist church, with
a pledge of nine hundred and
twentyrfive dollars, and one from
friends in the >Second Congrega
tion church, with a promise of
eighteen hundred and ten dollars^
God bless them every one!”
This time they were all too exeitocl
to sing, hut there was a volley of
amens in response to the last ejac
ulation, and men and women all
over the house ware laughing and
crying li^o children.
“Give us the footing now, brother
Harrison,” said the minister at
length to the treasurer, who was
keeping account qf the suhsoiption.
“Thirty thousand one hundred
and fifty five dollars,” the answer.
“Less than two thousand dollars
are wanted!” cried Mr. Thorpe.—
“What do you say to that ?”
“Two hundred dollars for me !”was
the first response from one of the
heaviest subscribers; and then the
supplementary subscribtions, came
pouring in for ten minutes, faster
than the treasurer could record
them. Am soon as there was a
short pause, he summed up the
amount again, and rising to his feet,
said quietly:
“Thirty-two thousand four hun
dred and sixty dollars—four hun
dred and sixty dollars for shrink
age!”
The scene that followed can only
be imagined by those who know
so what an incubus a church debt is to
a devoted congregation, and who
are also familiar with the ways in
which the Methodists are wont to
express their feelings.
“I perceive,” said Mr. Thorpe,
rising to his feet after the tempest
had subsided, that all these pledges
are to be paid to-morrow, at noon,
at the First National Bank. It is
easy to guess who is at the bottom
of all this business, and I see him
now standing near- the door.”
“No scenes for me,” whispered
the banker to his minister. I’m
going. Make my excuses.”
And he slipped out of the door
and walked quietly away,
“Y/aRer* Franklin is the man,”
continued the . parson, “and he is
leaving the house at this moment;
will not some one bring him back ?”
p|ut that was a vain suggestion.
Mr. Franklin, as everybody knew?
would not be brought back.
“Mr. Franklin’s pastor must an
swer for him, then,” said the mini
ster; and Mr. Strong walked up the
aisle amici great cheering. In a
few graceful words he told the
congregation that Mr. Thorpe was
right in his conjecture; that the
plan of aiding them in their diffi
cult undertaking was conceived
and set in motion by Mr. Franklin>
who had nevertheless, been sup
ported in the heartiest manner by
the gentlemen on whom he had
called; that the whole scheme was
the inspiration of a moment and
the fruit of a few hours, work; and
that he trusted that the result ' of it
would be, not only the emancipa
tion of the Methodist Church from
the bondage of debt hut the
strengthening of the bond of fel
lowship among the churches of
New Albion. To that wish there
Were many fervent responses, aud
after a prayer of tlianksgiveing by
the pastor, and the singing of“ bless
ed be the tie that binds,” the con
gregation broke up. That day will
never be forgotten by any one who
had part in its doings, and fruit of
the seed then sowed will be reaped
in the increasing charity of many
generations.
Why he Reformed.
“You must excuse me, gentleman
for I cannot drink anything,” said
a man who was known to the en
tire town as a drunkard.
“This is the first time you ever
refused a drink,” said an acquain
tance. “The other day you were
hustling around after a cocktail,
and in fact you asked me to set ’em
up.”
“That’s very true, hut I am. a
very different man now.”
“Preachers had a hold of you ?”
“No sir no one has said anything
to me.”
“Well, what has caused the re
formation ?”
“I’ll tell you. After leaving you
the other day, I kept on hustling
for a cocktail, as you term it, until
I mej a party of friends. When I
left them I was about half drunk.
I would not have stopped at this,
but my friends had to hurry away
to catch a train. To a man of my
temperament, a half-drunk is a
miserable condition, for the desire
for more is so strong that he forgets
his self respect in his efforts to get
more to drink. Failing at the sa
loons, I remembered that there was
half pint of whisky at home, which
had been purchased for medicinal
purposes. Just before reaching the
gate I heard voices in the garden,
and looking over the fence I saw
my little son and daughter playing
•No, you be ma„ said the boy, ‘and
I’ll be p; Now you sit here an’ I’ll
come in drunk. Wait now till I
fill my bottle.’ He took a bottle
which he ran away and filled with
water. Pretty soon he returned
and entering the ^playhouse, nod
ded idiotically at the little girl and
sat down without saying anything.
Then the girl looked up from her
work and said:
“James, why will you do this
way?
“‘Whixzer way?’ he replied.
“Gettin’ drunk.’
“ ‘Who’s drunk ?’
“You are, an’ you promised when
the baby died that you wouldn’t
drink any more. The children are
almost ragged an’ we haven’t any
thing to eat hardly, but you still
throw your money awajv Don’t
you know you are breakin’ my
heart ?’
“I Viqrrled away. The acting was
too life-like. I could think of noth
ing during the day but those little
children playing in the garden, and
I vowed that I would never take
another drink, and I will not, so
help me God.”—Arkansaw Trave
ler.
The Idiot Boy.
It had pleased God to form “poor Xed, r
A thing of idiot mind,
Yet Tto this poor unreasoning lad,
God had not been unkind.
“Old Sarah" ioved her helpless child,
Whom helplessness made dear,
And he was everything to her,.....
Who knew no hope nor fear.

Aud she to him was all.
Thus they loved for many a year,
Nor knew a wish beside—
Till age, at last, on Sarah came,
And she fell sick and died.
The Virtues of Butter Milk.
Few people know says a wrter in
the Country Gentlemen, the value
of buttermilk. It will entirely cure a
constant craving for stimulants to
which many persons, from long use,
have habituated themselves. Have
it handy, and when the oppeitite
craves whisky Oi‘ other stimulant,
drink half a tumbler of buttermilk;
the craving desire will be satisfied,
and the stomach will be much bene
fited and strengthened, instead of
weakened. There are many good
effects from a free use of lmtter-
ermilk. It alone will often cure
sour stomach, and permanently.—
The lactic acid needed by many
persons is supplied by buttermilk
much more largely than by any
other known food or beverage.—
One vital and important use of but
termilk is the preventation of val
vular unification, of the valves of
the heart, from which in this coun
try, so many persons, die, especial
ly old persons. There are many
other peculiar so called heart dis
eases which lactic acid, if partaken
of freely prevents. The so-called
fluttering or palpitation of the
heart, consequent upon a disorder
ed, dyspeptic stomach, can be en
tirely, removed _by a free use of
buttermilk.

He tried in vain to waken her—
He called her o'er and o'er,
They told him she was dead—
The sound to him no import bore,
They laid her in the narrow house,
They sang the funeral stave,
But when the funeral train dispersed,
lie loitered by the grave. •*
The rabble boys that used to jeer
When'er they saw “poor Ned,”
Now stood and watched him by the grave,
But not a word was said.
They came, they went, and went again,
Till night at last came on,
And still he loitered by the grave
Till every one was gone.
And when he found himself alone,
He quickly removed the clay—
He raised the coffin up in haste,
And bore it swift away,
lie bore it to his mother's cot,
And placed it on the floor,
And in his eagerness of joy,
He barred the cottage door.
He lifted out his mother's corpse
And placed it in her chair,
And then he heaped the hearth
And blew the lire with care,
He placed his mother in her chair
And in her wonted place—
Again he blew the fire which shone
- Reflected on her face.
And pausing now her hand would feel,
And now her face behold—
“Mother, why yon look so pale!
Say why you are so cold?”
It had pleased God from this poor boy—
His only hope to call—
But soon again a welcome death
Restored him to his all.
Louisville Letter in California Paper.
Poor J ohn Carlilse.
Much might be written of
Carlisle. Only 48 years old, he is
a self-made man in a double sense,
for he has remade himself within
the last twelve years. At that
time it seemed as if his life had
been lived out and that the coils of
drink would neverbe loosened from
about him until he rested with
Menifee and Marshall and the host
of other bright Kentuckians who
have graves in the island where
Circe lives. Frankfort is about as
demoralizing to young fellows as
the Sonora mountains to the Ari-
zonia Indian, and had already serv
ed two terms in the Legislature,
and was then, at 36, lieutenant gov
ernor. There were few who did not
think.that this would be the end of
it. There was no. Cassandra to
hear the whisperings of the gods
about him. ft was “poor John
Carlisle.”
Suddenly he shattered his cups
and placed a seal upon desire and
became, as ever since he has re
mained, a devout churchman and
an exemplar of the strictest tem
perance. There was surprise in
the town when more and more it
came to be seen that the change
was not the freak of a headache,
hut bravely made and meant to
last a lifetime.. But so it was. He
shrank from all fanaticism and was
as blithe as ever, hut the club rooms
missed his epigrams and his books
grew thumbed with use. The com
rade had become a student.
. From the Chicago Herald
Birds Cannot Smell.
A western hunter has come to
the conclusion that birds do not
possess the sense of smell. His at
tention was at first directed to the
subject by noticing that wild tur
keys failed to detect his where
abouts when in hiding, though he
was sometimes within three feet of
them. Had he made the slightest
movement theyjwould have observ
ed it at once, but the sense of the
smell being absent (as he contends)
they were unable to discover him.
While deer hunting he has thrown
himself down wearied and quails
have hopped upon him as if lie were
a log. Prairie hawks, which scour
fields and prairies \ ; hundreds in
search of prey .»e often come
within a few fe^t*of-chickens, hares
and mice without detecting their
presence by smell. Countless expe
riments accordingly led him to the
conclusion that birds cannot find
food or avoid foes by the sense of
smell.
