Jtn'i8-lr When George Carson was left a des titute and friendless orphan, the town overseers took bis case in hand nnd bound him out to farmer Pendrew.— The farmer was a thrifty but not % un- kindly man, and everybody said that the boy, in falling into such hands, had every reason to be thankful— which, indeed, was bat the truth. Still, poor Gforge felt very lonely and unhappy atfirst. For, while his new home, in every comfort and sur- ronuding, far excelled that iu which bis life had hitherto been passed, yet something was strange ami uew; and at times be felt a relief to slip off and have a good cry by himself. It was on one of these occasions that little Roth, the farmer's daughter, stole quietly to his side, and, before be was conscious of her presence, took him gently by the hand. “Don’t cry,” she said softly, as the boy turned his weeping eyes, whilst the tears glistened in her own; “I know you have no papa nor mamma, but I’ll be your sister if you’ll let me." It was the first healing touch the wounded heart had felt. George choked back a rising sob and thanked his little comforter, telling her, as well as he could, how very much he would like to have her for a sister. Then Rath showed him about the place. The feeling of strangeness gradually wore off, and George began to feel at home. From that time, in bis unemployed moments, he and Ruth were much to gether, for children naturally seek each other’s company, and farmer Pendrew and bis wife were not the people to look down on a boy merely because he was poor and without friends. It was not long till it come George’s turn to offer consolation. Ruth’s mother died, and in the first outburst of her wild passionate grief, the child’s heart seemed on the point of breaking. Bnt when George came to tell her how sorry for her he felt, she threw her arms about bis neck and cried: “Ob, George! George! Neither of us have any mother now!”—and from this bond of sympathy the Buffering childish heart drew its first drop of comfort. A fine, manly fellow George had grown by the time be reached bis twenty-first year.' He had well im proved the three months' schooling every winter to which his “indent ures” entitled him, and with that and the reading he was able to do of even- iugs there were few better informed young men than George Carson. As Ruth grew up into a beautiful and charming woman, she and George continued as close friends as'ever, though naturally there was something more of reservo between them. They still looked upon each other as broth er and sister—at least they thought they did. As for George, he would have blamed himself severely bad be detected iu bis mind any secret aspi rations in connection with his mas ter's daughter inconsistent with the difference of their stations. “George,” said Mr. Pendrew ono day “your time will soon be up now, but if you would like to remniu ou wages—” “I should like it of nil things," broke in George, without waiting for the other to finish. "You see,” resumed tho farmer, “I don’t like to be left quite alone in my old days. There’s Rath, sho’s going to bo married soon—leastways Rich ard Harne has asked me for her and I think she loves him welk enough; and, to tell the truth, it's a match I've thought of more than once myself, for Dick’s an only son and his father’s land joins mine. Now you’ve been so long like one of the family, George, that I'd like when Ruth’s gone—bnt bless me, boy, what’s the matter ?” And well tbe farmer might ask, for the young man’s face was deathly pale nnd his whole frame trembled. Mastering himself by a powerful ef fort, George managed to regain bis composure and to change the conver sation before My.,Pendrew bad tune to suspect what be bad himself first discovered—that it was not brother's love be felt for Retb. At length tbe day came when George Carson was “his own man.” He bad sometime before thanked farmer Ijjbndrew for his offer to con tinue on wages, which, however, he declined, declaring it to be his pur pose to go and seek bis fortune iu tbe distant West. And on tbe very morn ing Lis time was out, with fifty dollars which the farmer paid him according to tbe “articles,” be started on bis travels, after an earnest but hasty farewell to the farmer and his dagh- ter. There was a downcast, sorrow ful look in Ruth’s face and a tear trembled in her eye as they parted, bnt George thought it was only be cause they had so long been brother and sister to each other. Nearly seven years had passed, and after many ups and downs George Carson fonnd bis way to tbe mining country. She fairly rained down her favors, and in an increditably short space George was a rich man “If it had only happened years ago 1” he aigbed—“bat to what pur pose is it now?” he added moodily- remembering bitterly a rumor which bad reached him long ago of Rath’s marriage to Richard HBrne. After a while a strange longing came over George to visit the old scenes which were constantly rising before bis fancy. “Shrely nobody would recognize me now,” he said, “with this busby beard and burly form. I might even steal a glance at Rnth without her know ing it.” And acting promptly on tbe thought, as was his habit, be was soon rapidly retracing the journey on which be had entered more than seven years before. It was getting night when, after many days of travel, tbe train set him down at a little station six But George was not afraid of a good walk. So be resolved to go on at once, for some bow bis impatience to seo tbe old friends increased as the distance shortened. Besides, he was sure of a hospitable reception, for farmer Pendrew’s .door was always open to a stranger. He would pre tend to be a traveler stopping for a few days' rest, and in that way he might see Ruth and assure himself tlmt bcr life was ns happy as he had always prayed it might be. As be briskly walked along, busied with these thoughts, a man suddenly sprang out of some bushes at the way side. From a glimpse of his face, which George caught by the moon light, be recognized the features of Richard Hurne. But the next in- staut the heavy blow of a bludgeon stretched him senseless on tbe ground. If the assailaut’s purpose was rob bery, be had no time to accomplish it, for the sound of approaching foot steps compelled him to instant flight. When George Carson returned to consciousness, .he found himself in bed, and a sweet, gentle face bending over him. At tbe first glance bo start ed with an exclamation of surprise.— The face was that of Rath. It disappeared quickly and that of the doctor took its place. “Tell her to come back 1” appealed George piteously. “Calm yourself, my dear sir," urged the doctor, “you’ve bad a sharp battle for life these three days past, and it’s bardly won yet.” “But I must see her!” George pleaded. "And you shall, but not until you are in a fit condition,” returned tbe other; and administering a few drops of an opiate to bis patient tbe latter soon dropped asleep. When be woke bis first thought was of Rntb. “She must never know her bus- band’s crime,” be said to himself; would qnite break Uer heart. “I think be may snfely see her now,” muttered tbe doctor, stepping out, and the next moment Ruth on tered. ' “You don’t know how glad I am to see you better, Creorge,” taking his hand in the old sisterly away. “So you know me, then ?’’ “I knew you at the first glance,” she answered. “Mrs.—Mrs. Harne”—be began. Her face flushed deeply. “Why do’ you call me by that name?” she asked. “Why, ore you not Richard Harne’s wife?—I am sure I heard so.” “What you heard was false, then. I am still Rnth Pendrew as yon left mo so many long, long years ago.” “Thank God 1” George ejaculated. Not then, bnt when be was strong enough to listen to it all, George heard from Rath of her rejection of Richard Harne’s offer, also of her father’s death, and how she was now mistress of her old home where she was living with a maiden aunt, and whither George bad been carried by those who found him where he bad been stricken down and how Rich ard Harne bad squandered all hie patrimony and become an outcast, and many other things - not needful to mention. George Carson’s recovery wus speedy and complete; and it was not long till be nnd Rnth entered into i closer relatiousbip than that of broth or and sister. Richard Harne was never heard of afterwards. OUR HIGHEST GOOD. [The matter for this column will be furnished weekly by Rev. W. F. Lloyd, pastor of the Metho- dist church qt tills city .—Ed.] married Folks Would be Happier If home trials wore never told to miles from farmer Pendrew’s boase. Jjeigbbors. If they mnde up after every quar rel. If household expenses were propor tioned to receipts. If they tried to be agreeable, as in courtship days. If each ono would try to bo a sup port and comfort to tbe other. If each remembered tho other was a human being, not an nngol. If women were as kind to their hus bands as they are to their lovers. If fuel nod provisions wero laid in during the'high tide of summer. If parties remembered that they were married for worse as well as for better. If men were as tbougbtful of tbeir wives as they were of tbeir sweet hearts. If there were fewer silk and velvet costumes, and more plain, tidy house dresses. If wives and husbands would take somo pleasure as they go along and not degenerate into mere toilsome machines. Recreation is necessary to keep tbe heart in place, and to get along without it is a big mistake. Paris, Ky., sold $2,900 worth of blackberries this season. Change of residence frequently brings new temptations, but it as of ten briDgs new opportunities for do- iug good. Which has conquered you —the temptations or the “opportuni- ties ?” ^ . . ., . “Slang” is a vulgarism that many otherwise good and refined people— especially young people—surnt times take on. Tbe Booner it is left off, tbe better for yourself and all with whom you come in contact. We sometimes hear men get “mor al courage” and ‘‘physical bravery” badly mixed op. Moral conrage means tjie courage" to do right, tbe courage to be true to your convictions, tbe courage to say no when tempted to do wrong; moral conrage means “dare to do right,” without ‘ lev, fa vor or affection.” ' ‘ u Rev. Joseph Cook, the great Boston lecturer, defines “conscience” to be the “sense of right und wrong, with a feeling that the right ought to be performed, and the wrong ought not." Do not 1st yonr cburch-inemborship become a snare to yon. If yon are living wrong, there is danger inside as there would be dntside. Tbe mau you call an infidel has a hunger in bis heart for truth. Let him she it in your life and be will be won and saved. There is a disposition upon tbe part of some to make liberty tbe syn onym of license. Tbe fact that a man is a free man does not involve tbe right to do that which is directly in* jarioas to bis neighbors. Life is short. We must be np and doing if we accomplish much in the brief time allotted to ns. There are some persons who avoid tbe bonse of God, and refuse to read tbe Bible, supposing that thereby they escape responsibility. Lack of knowledge is itself a ‘sin, when we might know tbe will of God if we would. "Believe me, America, to-day, to save herself, must save the world." So said a stalwart advocate of missions before tho American Board. We believe it. The uew world has reached at one and tbe same.time a point of prosper ity and a position of peril. So close ly is oar future the future of tbe world, bo vital our growing attach ment with all lands, that we may no longer sink, or swim of onrselves alone. If we fall, so goes the world. Yes, and if the world goes under mor ally, it will take ns along. A South African Conference has been formed by the Wesleyans, with Rev. John Walton President Dr. Osborn said in regard to this: “Whilst hearing those resolutions I was led back to tbe time when I need to .col lect half-pennies and pennies for the Missionary Society. In those days wo had two missionaries and forty- two members in South Africa; now we have six districts, 160 ministers, and 22,000 members. Thus it will be seen what progress Methodism has made ou the dark continent." When the city of London was help reeling to nnd • fro with the shock of an earthquake, Charles Wes ley, standing np before bis congrega tion at the Foundery, exclaimed, in a state of religions exaltation: “We will not fear though the earth be removed, and the hills bo carried into the midst, for the Lord of hosts is with ns; the God of Jacob is our refuge." His bearers wero trembling with ter ror, expecting every moment that the walls of tbe building would fall.— Cries and lamentations were heard ou every side.
