Childrens’ Corner.
THE DARKENED NURSERY.
The re's, room enough in the nursery now;
’Twos.crowded a little before;
For when the crib in the corner sat
The rockers came close to the door;
But the light was sweet and the air was soft,
And the room was filled with cheer;
For we all were charmed to the chosen spot
By the voice of the baby dear.
Where is the sunshine?
Where is the noise?
Where are the playthings gone?
What shall I do with my empty arms?
Sitting alone, alone!
What shall I do with the vacant crib?
Where shall I set his chair?
Must the little one’s clothes come down ?
, 0, let me leave them there!
Fold the little garments,
Lay them softly by;
Put away the playthings,
Check the choking sigh.
Turn thee to thy duties,
Take up life again,
Newly consecrated
By this precious pain.
Work —thy face full heavenward;
Give thy life to God;
His sweet peace shall keep thee
If thou “kiss the rod.” — EmngHvst-.
CONQUERED BY KINDNESS.
Dick Belmont was the worst boy in school
so every body agreed, and truly they had
grounds for so doing, for a boy more skilled
in mischief it were hard to find.
In performing all such feats as bending
pins and placing them upon the sfints with the
points up, for his school-master to sit upon,
and “ringing” the master’s birch, as he callod
it, which consisted in cutting the bark all
around in such a manner that, when applied
to the back of a pupil, it would fly to pieces,
ho had no equal.
And it was his constant boast that the
master could not detect him in any of bis
mischief.
lie invariably received one whipping a
week, if not more, for playing truant—
“hookie” ho callod it—but then you know
boy’s wisdom has not yet developed to that
extent when it can devise means by which to
prevent the master’s finding out when a boy
plays “bookie.”
Dick was as sharp aa any of them, but he
could not do this. It was a little farther
than his knowlodgo extended.
But in spite of his mischief, I think my
readers, when they have road this story, will
join mo in sayiog that ho possessed a kind
heart. And no person, in my estimation, can
bo really bad, no matter how many acts of
wickedness he may have committed, who has
a truly kind and generous hoart, and is eve?
ready to aid the suffering and needy.
lam not upholding any one in vice; far
from it; but then evil deeds may be per
formed more from thoughtlessness than from
a desire to do evil. Don’t you think so,
reader? At least, this is the oaso soms.-
timo3—and this was the case with Dick.
One day Dick was missing from school.
There was nothing unusual in this, but there
was something unusual in tho fact that no
ono know any thing about him.
A3 a rulo, when he played truant ho always
had somebody who kept a watch upon his
movements, and informed the teachor, but
this timo not a person could bo found who
had seoa him!
The next morning, however, ho was in his
pinco, and while ho protended to bo studying
diligently, he was busy contriving mischief.
When the Lord’s Prayer had been recited,
and the customary chapter in tho Testament
read, tho teacher took down the birch, and
said quietly, “Richard Belmont will take the
floor!”
Dick, who was industriously throwing
“wads” at little red-hoadod Jake I'ishor,
ceased at once, and stepped promptly out
upon the floor.
“Where were you sir, yesterday, that you
did not como to school?”
Dick hung his head, but did not reply.
‘ Will you toll me?” asked tho master.
“Please, Mr. Borden, I don’t like to —I
would rather bo oxcusod,” said Dick.
“Rather bo excused, would you. Vory
well, then I’ll tell it for you. You loft your
home in tho morning, and neither asked your
mother’s consent nor told her whoro you were
going, which was very wrong of you indeed,
and 1 think you deserve a good whipping for
so doing!”
“Yes, sir,” said Dick, tremblingly.
“You wont to tho houso of a poor widow,
about a mile away, who had no sons to aid
her in getting a living, and there you devoted
the entire day to sawing stove wood! Now,
what do you suppose i’m going to do with
you for thus breaking my rules?”
“Ploasc, sir, I don’t know,” whimpered
Dick.
“ Why, I’m going to give you this book as a
reward for good conduct,” handing Dick aB
he spoko a volume of children’s stories, “and
I hope you never will play truant again!”
Diok’s stubborn nature was overcome.
He graspod tho book eagerly, crying, “0.
thank you, sir! I never will play ‘hookie’
again!”
And lio never did.
Thus you see when harshness failed, he
was “conquered by kindness.” —Griding

LOTTY’S FOURTH OF JULY.
Fourth of July had come. You could tell
it, if in no other way, by tho bells, tho guns,
and the flrc-craokers, all of which began at
daylight to sound through the streets of the
town of Milton.
The wee folks got out of bed with a hop,
skip and jump, for “ thoro was to bo such a
good time, such a very good time,” as Lotty
Hay told her mamma, “ and it, will last all
day long till night. Won’t it bo nice, mam
ma ? ”
“ I don’t know,” said Mrs. Bay, in such a
tired tone of voice that Lotty said, ” What
ails you, mamma? Are you sick?”
“ I fear I am,” said Mrs. Ray. 15 My head
aches badly, but that need not keep you home,
my dear; I can keep tho baby very well.”
“Jane would not have gono homo if sho
had known you would hsvo been sick to-day,
would she? " asked Lotty.
“ I would not liavo liked to ask Jane to
stay,” said her mamma; “she has so long
had it on her mind to go homo to-day. It is
six months since sho has boon thoro. You
may help me wash tho dishes; thon you
can put on your white dress and go to tho
church, for eight o’clock will soon oomo.”
Thoro was to be n Sundsy-school picnic,
and the place was a woods half a milo from
town. First they would moot at tho churoh,
and form into lino; Rnd tho boys woro to
bring their drums and flags, and all woro to
inarch along, ns gay and happy as could bo.
Lotty did what sho could, and then sho
went up to her room, and took her whito
dress from tho closet, and hor bluo sash from
the drawer.
But just thon a loud scream came from the
baby, and Lo*ty ran to see what was tho mat
ter. But baby cried ou hard aa ever, and
Mrs. Bay sat with a pale faoo on tho chair,
doing her he?it to quiet him.
“ 1 will take him and give him a rido in his
coach; ho likes that,” said Lotty. “I will
keep him thoro till ho gets to sleep, so do
you go, mamma, to your bed and lie down.
A nap may take your pain away.”
“I- fear you will bo Into for tho picnic,
Lottv.”
“ 0, no, I'm all right,” and the girl gave a
brave smile.
Baby Bay was a cross boy that morning,
and would not go to sloop for a long while,
and some time before ho did so the clock
struck eight, so Lotty knew there could be
no picnic for her that day. Sho shod a few
tears —sho could not help it, but she knew
she was doing right to stay at homo, though
it cost her a struggle to do it; for Lotty was
a bright, merry girl, who liked fun and frolic
just as well as any body.
When tho baby got to sloop, Lotty went up
stairs on tintoo, and found that her mother
too was asleep; then sho went out on the
front porch, for she heard tho sound of music,
Hnd thoro she saw them coming. A largo
Has: was carried in front, and smaller ones
behind.
There was Tommy Twigs and his father
with soldier caps on their heads, the father
with a flute ana Tommy with ft drum, pound
ing w-if ho meant to beat the head in. Two
of the boys held up a banner with George
Washington looking at his father’s cherry
tree, with a hatchet in his hand, painted on
it with red, black and green paint. What
matter if the hatchet did look nearly as large
as the tree? The children thought it fine,
and Billy Stumps, the boy who painted it,
felt as proud as any artist ever did over a
great picture.
The girls called out, “ Come, Lotty.”
“Mother’s sick, Jane is away, and I have
to stay with the baby.”
“ Too bad,” and “ How sorry I am,” said
the girls.
There was a sob in Lotty's throat and a
tear in her eve, but she gave a smile never
theless. and aid not say a word. She watched
until tnev were out of sight, and then went
into the house to see what she could do for
mamma or baby. m
Lotty's father had been to New York.
They did not look for him until the next
day, but when the cars came in at ten o’clock,
Mr. Ray came too.
“How is this Lotty?” said he, aa he saw
her out on the back porch with the coach.
Lotty told him all about it.
“ You are a darling child, but you must
not lose the picnic if I can help it, so run
put on your dress, and make ready, and I will
j be back soon.”
When Mr. Ray came back he brought with
him Aunty Jones, a poor old lady, who was
a good nurse, and did not care for picnics.
She was very glad to earn a dollar by staying
and taking care of Mrs. Ray and the baby.
Lotty’s mamma did not kpow that she had
stayed at home till she’went up to kiss her
good-bye before starting with her father.
llow glad every one at the picnic was to
see Lotty.
“Come, Lotty, hero's tho swing; it’s your
turn now.” “Come, Lotty, phy croquet with
us;” and “0, Lotty, join this game, won’t
you?” sounded all over the ground.
Do you wonder why all loved Lotty? It
was because she loved others and cared for
i others before herself. — Young Folks’ Kctce.

And with a spirit fresh and free
Through life shall cheerful go.
Be etiil in faith! Forbear.to seek
Where seeking naught avails,
Unfold thy soul to that pure light
From heaven which never fails.
Bo still ir. love! Bo like the dew
That, falling from the skies,
On meadows green, in thousand cup*,'
At morning twinkling lies!
Bo still in conduct, striving not
For honor, wealth, or might!
Who in contentment breaks his bread
Finds favor in God’s sight.
Be still in sorrow! “As God wills!''
Let that thy motto be,
Submissive 'neath His strokes receive
His imago stamped on thee.
Bo still in God! Who rests on Him
Enduring pesco shall know,
And with a spirit glad and free
Through night and grief shall go.

THE CLASPING HAND.
1 want you to notice tho peculiarity of
Christ’s kindness to the neglected and vile.
He crossed their threshold as a guest; he
went into their house as a friendly visitor.
He sat down with them an on an equal foot
ing. Ho made himself at home with them.
Ho suffered them to make entertainments for
him. He drew up with them to the house
hold board. Ho ato with them, and drank
with them, and talked with them in cheerful,
social converse. Ho maintained no distance,
kept no reserve; opened his heart, opened
his lips, warmod and brightened them in the
light of his benignant smile, and made the
hour and the place full of the joy of bis com
forting presence,
0, what good this did them! This wsb
friendship that cost something, and that
meant something; it was genuine and true.
It gave himself to thorn and it won thorn to
himself. - If he had stood aloof and sent
Bomo messago to them across tho chasm be
tween, if ho had dealt in robukes, or even in
invitations from a distance, he would have
tained nothing. Ho roust prove what was in
is heart; and if he were snv of them person
ally, ho might have talked love for a life
time and made no converts. It was tho act
ing out his love, going under their roof, tak
ing them by the hand, brushing his garments
freely against theirs, reclining with them at
supper, for a time a member of their family
—it was this that testod him and won thorn.
The example of Christ remains for his peo
ple. If was not, in this matter, an incident
of his life; it was characteristic; it ran its
golden thread through all his intercourse
with men. There is nothing taught us more
explicitly by the whole record, than tho use
tho Savior made of his personal and social
powor to recover and elevate the lost.
Wo make but little progress in social re
form. More than eighteen centuries have
gono by since tho true method of this reform
was so beautifully illustrated, and yet how
few have been tho trophies of Christian
charity from those whoso character is not
more clearly expressed than their treatment
when wo call tnem “the abandoned.” We
are quito willing to stand on our immaculate
social heights and fling a tract down below,
and point our wandering brothers and sisters
to somo isolated shelter wo have provided for
them; but wo are not willing that their feet,
climb they ever so diligently, should cross
our threshold or that ours should cross theirs.
Ah, the hand that only points is too cold, too
white, too distant! It is only the clasping
hand that can guide ono astray, warm with a
brother’s love find sinewy with « brother’s
strongth.
O, that Christian people would bo true, at
whatever cost, to the ideal of Christian bc
neficenoo! Innumerable hands, I speak what
I know, are stretching up out of miry places
in the midst of us, to tako hold of some help
ing and saving hand. Tho hand that was
wounded touched them; shall not ours?
HOW YOUNG MEN FAIL
’• Thoro is Alfred Sutton home with his
family, to livo on tho old folks,” said one
neighbor to another. “It seems hard, after
all nis fathot has done to St him for busi
ness, end the capital he invested to start him
so fairly, ft is surprising he has turned out
so poorly. 110 is a steady young maß, no bad
habits, ao far aa I know; he has a good edu
cation, end was always considered smart; but
ho doesn’t succeed iu nny thing. lam told
ho has tried a number of different kinds of
business, and sunk money every time. What
can bo the trouble with Alfred, I should like
to know, for I don’t want my boy to take his
turn.”
“Alfred is smart enough,” said tho other,
“and has education enough,” but ho lacks
the ono element of success. lie never wants
to givo a dollar’s worth of work for a dollar
of money, and thoro is no other way for a
young man to make his fortune. Ho most
dig, if he would get gold. All the men that
havo succeeded, honestly or dishonestly, in
making money, havo haa to work for it, tho
sharpers sometimes tho hardest of all. Al
frod wishes to soo his train in motion, and let
it tako caro of itself. No wonder it soon ran
off tho track, and a smash-up was the result.
Teach your boy, Friend Archer, to work
with a will when ho does work. Givo him
play enough to make him healthy and happy,
but let him loam early that work is the busi
ness of lifo. Patient, self-denying work is
tho price of success. Ease and indolence eat
away not capital only, but worse still, all of
man’s nerve power. Present gratification
tends to put oft duty until to-morrow or next
week. It is getting to be a rare tiling for the
sons of rich men to die rich. Too often they
squander in a half-score of years what their
fathers were a life-timo in accumulating. I
wish I could ring it in tho oarß of every
aspiring young man that work, hard work, of
haul and hands, is the price of success.”

MAKE YOUR PARENTS HAPPY. !
Alas! that it should eVer be necessary to
urge such an exhortation! Our parents!
What emotions are stirred, what hallowed
memories are revived, by the venerable and
beautiful words—mother! father! How the
words come burdened with self-sacrificing
and generouadove! Our mothers, who kissed
us last at night and first in the early morn;
frptuwhose gentle bosoms we drew the juice
-11 e ’ j OD w^ose s °ft and faithful breasts we
j our weary heads; whose careful
and led us along and shielded from a thou
sand dangers our childish blindness never
saw; whose sympathizing words and soft
touch soothed our hearts and wiped away our
tears. Our mothers, God bless them! who
watched in lonely midnight hours, when sick
ness had bowed our heads with fever, feeble
ness, or pain! How many gentle admoni
tions, bow many wise and gracious counsels,
when temptation or evil companions threat
ened to lead us into wrong! And now, may
be, that we have come to man’s estate, and
are far from the roof that sheltered our child
ish heads, who is it that pursues us with her
love, and surrounds us with her prayers?
Who but that loving and gentle mother,
whose bosom glows with quenchless love for
us? Father! how all that is manly, diligent,
and honorable comes to memory with, his
name! How his ceaselesß toils and careful
providence supplied our needs, and his love
for us moved his arms, and gave him patience
for his cares and labors! How he raised us
to bis manly breast, and kissed us o’er and
o’er again when the weary day had passed.
He sat us on his knee, and taught us words,
then taught things and told stories that
cheered and stored our minds. As years
rolled on, how he labored for our good, and,
by precept and example, sought to make us
wise and blest.
Our parents! how much wo owe them, and
how persistently wo should labor to make
them happy! Let us think, in each scene of
life: how would my parents have me acquit
myself; and let tho thought prompt us to
manly and honorable doing. Remember, all
tho happiness your honors or success in life
may bring you is fully shared by your father
and mother. They live their lives over again
in us. They smile with our joys, weep with
our sorrows. AndO! if dishonor blackens
our name, it throws a midnight shadow on
their souls! The saddest sight we ever saw
was a poor, heart-broken mother, weeding
and kissing hor sad farewell to her criminal
and. unhappy son, who was, in a sow hour3, to
sufier the murderer’s just but tremendous
doom! Let tho thought of father and mother
boa shield in temptation, and a prompting to
all that is puro and true.

THE MOTHER’S PRAYER.
Once there was a good rnothor whose chief
prayer for hor little boy in his cradle was
that lie might have a loving heart. She did
not pray that he might bo wiso or rich or
handsome or happy cr loarnod, or that others
might love him, but only that he might love.
When that little boy, whose name was Ed
ward, grew up, it seemed as if his mother’s
prayer h>M been answered, and that, in mak
ing it, she had been wiser than she knew or
dreamed.
She had not prayed that ho might bo wise;
but somehow the iove in his heart seemed to
make him wise, And to lead him to choose
what is best, and to remember all tho good
things he was taught.
She had not prayed that ho might bo rich;
but it turned out that ho was so anxious to
help and serve others, that he found the only
way to do that was to get the means of help
ing; and so he became diligent, thrifty, and
prompt in business, fill at last bo had the
moans ho sought.
Edward’s mother had not prayed that he
might be handsome; but there was so much
love and good will manifest in his face, that
ale lovod to look on it; and its expression
} it handsome, for beauty attends love
like its shadow.
The prayer had not been that ho might be
happy; but—dear mo! how can there be love
in the heart without happiness? Edward
had no time for moping discontent, for re
venge, or aoffer. He was too busy thinking
what he might do for others; and in seeking
their happiness, ho found his own.
But was he learned? Os course, whon he
found it pleased his parents to have him at
tend to his studies, ho did his best; and
though there were many boys quicker and
apter than ho, yat Edward generally caught
up with them at last; for love mado him at
tentive and earnest.
But last of all, though Edward loved
others, did others love him? That is the
simplest quostion of all. You must first give
lovo if you would get it. Yes; every body
lovod Edward, simply because he loved every
body. And so I aaviso those little boys and
girls who think they arc not loved, to put to
themselves the question, “ But do you love?”

THE JUGGERNAUTH~
To tho Juggernauth Oar Festival, in India,
an unusual interest has been lent this year by
tho correspondence between tho Governments
of India and Bengal on tho subjeot of pre
venting those eruefdeaths, by accident, which
have been reported to you in several years.
The Lieutenant-Governor reported to the
Government of India, when asking for its ad
vice and instructions, that, in his opinion, the
time had come for stopping the dragging of
such cars as were dangerous to life. “If we
were still in a bigoted Hindoo country such
things might bo permitted; but in Bengal the
rulers are Christiana, half the population are
Mohammedans, half the remainder arc abo
rigines, outcasts from Hindooism, Brahmins,
and nothing in particular. There is but a
limited Hindoo population, who have very
little enthusiasm for this kind of thing, and
the heavy cars ore with great difficulty moved
by people, many of whom are, it appears,
ryots on the temple estates, and otherß driven
unwillingly to the work t or people who take
it up for reasons not religious, some for fun,
some for profit. But he would tolerate nil
cars not dangerous to life.” In a subsequent
letter he amplified this by a no means exag-
S rated picture of the state of Hindooism in
c centers of intelligence, by giving tho sub
stance of opinions collected from native gen
tlemen, like the Maharajah of Burdwan, who
would atop dangerously large cars. Although,
Sir George Campbell wrote, tho Car Festival
had its origin in a religious idea, and though
it can still raise feelings of enthusiasm in the
breast3 of elderly women or other such per
sons, it hRS undoubtedly degenerated into a
fair, or more gathering for amusement. The
correspondence has ended in the Government
of India agreeing with that of Bengal that the
nuisance section of the Criminal Procedure
Code provides for the evil, and that a discre
tionary power may bo left to the responsible
magistrate of stopping any car which ho
deems to ho unsafe, in which act he will be
supported by tho Government. The festival
at Serampore was this year a striking com
mentary on the above description. Fourteen
miles above Calcutta, on tho right bank of
the Hoogly, a pious Hindoo has erected, by
his last will, a fine ghaut for tho pilgrims to
the Seramporo Juggernauth. On Wednesday
last, the day before the festival, a few boats
only were seon at tho spot where, in former
years, thousands used to throng. When I
landed, the temples were sounding tho hour
of evening prayer on discordant gongs; nude
ascetics, fresh from tho hill of ashes, were
wandering about among timid women in
charge of somo elderly priests. Beggars
dressed up with extra hands and hoads, and
colored to represent the deities of Hindooism,
were silently presenting their plates for offer
ings. Soon the sparse crowd cooked their
evening meal or ate their parched rice and
lay down on tho ground to sleep away tho
hours till Juggernauth appeared in his oar.
Next day, for tho thousands of former years
thoro woro literally tens. Even Sir George
Campbell’s "elderly females” found it more
interesting—in tho caso of a group of simple
women from a distance, at least—to study tho
dross of a party of English ladies who had
oome to see tho sight, and to listen to tho
words of ono of them at the very time that the
shapeless block of wood was being hoisted up
to its place on the car. More than one na
tive Christian preacher, too, had a good audi
ence. All tho booths, shops, and shows of
th«r "Jftttra" were there as usual, but almost
neglected. The pice, or farthings, which |
each devotee offers to the priost on the car
for a consecrated garland of white flowers !
were few. After the orders of the Govern
ment, the English magistrate was on his met- i
He, believing that he could so supervise the j
dragging of the car this year as.to prevent fa- i
tal accidents. Policemen, native and En-!
were everv-where. But, up to 2p. at.,
the hour which he fixed as the latest, the
priests failed to get men enough to draw the
unwieldy erection on its twenty-four vast
disks ol wood, although their own tenants
were there. The second and rival car further
ou had then the turn, but the ropes broke at
the first pull, and there it stands to this hour
a melancholy spectacle. Toward sunset the
first car was dragged the usual distance, the
temple having succeeded in inducing a suffi
cient number of hands to draw. But there
was little of that indescribable roar when the
idol is lifted up to its place—a cry, half sono
rous, half bleating—which in former years I
have heard two miles away. Never has the
festival been such a failure, though it has an
nually been falling off. The priests ascribe
it to the interference of the police, who pre
vent accidents that give eclat to the occasion.
Some, evidently orthodox Hindoos, whom I
asked, declared that the heat was too great to
allow people to come from a distance, and
that the epidemic fever had weakened many.
But all the priests and orthodox sorrowfully
allow that the Car Festival is not what it
once was. — London Times.
THE POWER OF LOVE.
A friend of mine was anxious to bring a
certain youDg man to the Savior. They were
strangers to each other, and when my "friend
was pressing 011 him the necessity of salva
tion, he looked at him and said: “You do not
know me; if you did, you would save your
self the trouble which you take about me,
and for which I thank you, but I am too
helpless a case. I have just come out of the
penitentiary; my character is blasted; my
reputation is ruined through my own folly,
and now I see no prospect of reformation— l
can never redeem my character again.”
My friend saw ho had to change his tactics,
as thero were no signs of softening—no signs
of repentance. “Willyou como to my house
and have supper?” was his reply.
“What!” said the young man, “bring me
to your house! bring a thief among your
family! Surely, you do not mean it, sir?”
“I do,” replied tho ambassador of Jesus
Christ.
“Then I will come, 9ir,” said tho stranger.
The young man knocked at the door at the
appointed hour, and sent in his name. This
Christian man received him very cordially,
and introduced him to his wife as his friend,
and, whon they were seated, said to his little
daughter, “Emma, go and shake hands with
your papa’s friend—put your hands around
hia neck, and kiss him as you kiss papa.”
Tho little girl climbed this poor young man’s
knee, and kissed him; but that kiss was
enough. Bursting into tears as the great
fountains of his heart were opened, he told
out his life of guilt, and then gladly received
tho faithful instruction given him. What
won him? What broke his heart? It was
lovo, and love is power.
Go ye forth, then, ye ambassadors of Jesus
Christ, in the mighty power of this God-given
love, and you too shall win many a homeless
wanderer, and many a precious soul.
FORGIVING OTHERS.
Many people have the impression that it is
our duty to forgive others the wrongs and in
juries they have done us, whether they repent
or not. Ido not so understand the Scripture.
Peter asked his Lord, “ How oft shall I for
give my brother? Until seven times?” Jesus
answered him: “Not until seven times, but
until seventy time3 seven.” “If thy brother
trespass against thee seven times in a day,
and seven times in a day turn again to thee
and say, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.”
Here the conditions are expressed—“ If he
jturn,” etc. What does this imply ? It im
plies, if he does not “turn to thee,” and say,
u I repent,” thou Bhalt not forgive him. If
this is not the meaning, then the text has
none. Tho obligation which the injured
brother is under to forgive his brother’s tres
pass, depends entirely upon whether bo com
plies with the condition—repent or make
confession thereof. All that is here required
of the injured party is, that he be ready to
forgive hiß brother whenever he complies
with the condition.— D. Wellman.

Indian Love-Feast, Oregon Confer
ence.—A correspondent of tho Methodist
gives the following interesting account of
fruit in a field where the sympathies of the
older Methodists were much drawn:
A large number of converted Indians were
present in the love-feast, and added greatly
to tho interest of the meeting. Four or five
of them witnessed for Christ, and such thrill
ing testimonies I have seldom been privileged
to hear. The chief of the tribe said: “Thir
teen years ago I was not as lam now. Then
I was covered with rags; now lam clothed.
I was very poor, had a bad heart; heard
Jcsub calling me; he invited me to come to
him; I did, and he took away all my sins, and
gave me anew heart. lam happy and on my
way to heaven. I have put away my Indian
heart, and now have the heart of a white
man. Want all my people to come to
Jesus.”
A glorious work has been accomplished for
these Indians by the efforts of Father Wilbur,
the Pioneer Methodist on the Pacific coast.
Four hundred and fifty of the Yakima tribe
have been brought to Jesus. They are
clothed and in their right mind. Many of
them dress and live like their white neigh
bors, cultivating large farms, and working at
trades like others. Two of them are mem
bers of our conference, and there are five ex
porters. Rev. W. C. Chattin, late of the
New Jersey Conference, is laboring with
great success among the Siletz. In three
months forty-two of them have been con
verted and united with the church. Among
these are the chief imd many of the leading
men of the tribe.
As cool a person, under the circumstances,
as was ever heard of, was a young nobleman,
who, in a frightful railroad accident, missed
his valet. One of the guardians came up to
him and said: “My lord, we have found your
servant, but he is cut in two.” “Aw, is he?”
said the young man, with a Dundrary drawl,
but still with anxiety depicted on his coun
tenance. “Will you be gwood enough to see
in which half he has gwot the key to my car
pet bag ?”
Obituary.
It is due to the memory of. the late George
Surface, that his friends should make some note
of his departure from earth; for when a good
man falls his place in hard to fill, and we can
only learn his true value when that place is va
cant.
Mr. Surface was born Oct. 26th, 1807, in Mont-
f ornery county, Virginia, and was married to
iiflß C. Haymaker, the daughter of a local
preacher of the M. E. Church of the same county,
who still survives him to mourn the loss of a
kind and careful husband. Shortly after their
marriage, which took place July 24th, 1828, they
joined the M. E. Church, and made a profession
of religion. From that time their house became
a home for the minister of their church.
The path of his life was calm and his end
peaceful. About fifteen years before his death
he suffcretFa severe attack of sickness, wherein
his friends despaired of his life. When very low,
he remarked to those who stood near him that
God would let him live fifteen years longer, and
did recover accordingly. As the limit of the .fif
teen years drew near, he frequently told his friends
he would soon die, though in good health; he made
this remark to me last January, though in perfect
health at the time, but gave me no reason for his
conjecture. As he neared the period he counted
the months, weeks and days of his earthly so
journ with entire confidence, and departed after
a short illness, on the 25th of last June, about
the time the fifteen years expired. During hiß
sickness he remarked to his son-in-law, Rev.
John L. Weaver, of tho Virginia Conference, that
he feared he would die hard; “buL” said he, “I
can repose my head on Jesus, ana breathe my
lifo out sweetly therg.” After calling the mem
bers of his family around him, he took leave of
them and commended thnm to God, then calmly
went to his rest, JMfm Mmwnsu..

CELEBRATED
Liver Pills,
FOR THE CURB OF
Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
PAIN in the right side, under the edge
of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the left side; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the left
side ; sometimes the pain is felt under the
shoulder-blade, and it frequently extends
to the top of the shoulder, and is some
times mistaken for a rheumatism in the
arm. The stomach is affect*! with loss
of appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax j the head is troubled with
pain,. accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is ge
nerally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation of
having left undone something which ought
to have been done. A slight, dry cough
i9 sometimes an attendant. The patient
complains of weariness and debility; he
is easily startled, hi3 feet are cold or burn
ing, and he complains of a prickly sensa
tion of the skin; his spirits are low ; and
although he is satisfied that exercise would
be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to trv it.
In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Se
veral of the above symptoms attend the
disease, but cases have occurred where *
ffw of them existed, yet examination of
the body, after death, has shown the li
ver to have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dp.. C. M’Lane’s Liver Pills, in case?
of Ague and Fever, when taken with
Quinine, are productive of the most happy
results. No better cathartic can be used,
preparatory to, or after taking Quinine.
We would advise all who are afflicted
with thb disease to give them a fair
trial.
Address all orders to
FLEMING BROS., Pittsburgh, Pa.
P. S. Dealers and Physicians ordering from otheo.
than Fleming Bros., will do well to write their order;
distinctly, and take none but Dr. C. M‘ Lane’s, irefartv*
