tumorous Jjrpartmcnt. HAD HIS REVENGE. There is no rule of the Union Rail- i road company compelling conductors to carry any specified amount of bills l and ohange with them when they take a car, out but the men usually have t about $15 or $20, so that they may be prepared for stray $10 bills when they ( are presented for a 5 cent fare. The average passenger seldom hands out any bills larger than $2, and a man j usually gives the conductor a nickel or the smallest silver change he has. A woman gives him pennies if she has 1 five in her pocket-book, and some 1 conductors maintain that the women save their pennies for weeks at a f time, in order to load the pockets of \ the conductor with them. But there is one woman wno win proDaDiy never again give a conductor a large bill to change. It happened on a Cranston street car, one day in the latter part of last week says the Providence Journal. The conductor made his rounds, and captured pennies, nickels, dimes and half-dollars, until he came to one womaB, who, after searching through her pocketbook, produced a $20 bill, which she handed to him, with a glance which should have frozen his soul and prevented a remonstrance. It failed ; the conductor was patient and longsuffering, but he rebelled against taking a 5-cent fare from a $20 bill. "Is this the smallest you have, lady ?" he asked. He was answered that the bill bad been handed to him to have the fare taken out. He thought a moment, and a bright idea penetrated his brain like an X ray. "I'll give you your change in a moment," he assured his passenger, and then stopped the car just as it reached Hoyle square, where the High Street bank is located. Hurrying into the bank, he laid down the bill and asked for change*. "Give me 19 silver dollar and 20 1 - * ?

The conductor carried the change in both hands out to > where the woman who wanted the t bill changed sat in the car and poured ? it in her lap, after taking out the i nickel fpr the fare. The other passengers snickered, the receiver of all the t silver grew red in the face and indig- t nant and the motorman started the i car with a jerk. The passenger re- < monstrated, but she had her change, the conductor had his revenge and the ( crowd had satisfaction, and the ma- t jority against her was 16 to 1. t Had to Keep Both Eyes Open.?

Text of the Lesson, Ps. xxxit, 1-11?Mem- ^ ory Verses, 1-fi?Golden Text, Ps. 11, ( 10?Commentary by the Rev. D. M. r Stearns. \ 1. "Blessed Is he whose transgression Is * forgiven, whose sin is covered." Oh, the happiness of the one who has heard the ( Lord say, "I, even I, am He that blottetb f out thy transgressions for mine own sake 1 and will not remembor thy sins" (Isa. s xlill, 25). A part of His name Is "the * Lord God, merciful and gracious, forglv- ? lag Iniquity and transgression ana sic (Ex. xxxlv, 5-7). Instead of studying the story of David's great sin as reoorded In the chapters In Samuel, following our last lesson, our attention Is In this lesson called to David's penitence and forgiveness. While God hates sin and cannot look upon it, He is ever ready to forgive the true penitent and urges him to come in suoh words as Isa. 1, 18; Jer. ill, 18; Hos. xiv, 1, 8. This Man still reoeiveth sinners. 8. "Blessod is the man unto whom the Lord lmputeth not iniquity and In whose spirit there is no guile." God was, in Christ, reconciling the world into Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them (II Cor. v, 10). Abraham believed God and it was Imputed unto him for righteousness, and ho was oallod tho Friend of God (Jas. li, 88). This righteousness came not through any good works of Abrabnm, but wholly of grace (Rom. lv, 8-8). Transgression Is a going beyond or doing what we should not do; sin Is a coming short of what wo should do, while iniquity is the root of the mattor,-but God for Christ's sake puts away the guilt of the whole business, for every true penitent who is without guile ? that is, who sincerely turns to Him. 8. "When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long." Unconfesscd sin, like a gathering wound, swells and torments. He thut oovereth his sins shall not prosper, but whoso oonfesscth and forsaketb them shall obtain mercy (Prov. xxvili, 18). When our iniquities separate betwoen us and our God and our sins hide His face from us (Isa. lix, 8), it is indeed dark with our souls, but what a comfort there is in this word, "If we confess our sins, Ho is faithful and i just to forgive us oar slns and to cleanse 1 us from all unrighteousness (I John 1, 9). 4. "For day and night Thy hand was heavy upon me. My moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah." It' was the loving band of a loving God long- 1 lng for the fellowship of His child who I had turned away from Him. Wbntevor | - - - * ? 1 ? rn 1# . lioa aoos, it is to itjuu us wj uiiuwii, mi He wllleth Dot the death of a sinner (II Pet. iii, 0). He does everything possible to deliver from the pit and to give life and ponce (Job xxxlii, S3, 24, 20, 80). The word selah suggests that here we pause and meditate. 5. "I acknowledged my sin unto thee and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord, and thou forgnvost the iniquity of my sin. Selah." Spurgeon has suid that confession is the lance whloh relieves the festering wouud. Confessiou is deeper thnn merely asking forgiveness; the latter may be through fonr of consequences, but the former shows true penitence. If we have wronged any one, confession and restitution must bo mndo to them if possiblo, but first and alwnys to God and as in His sight, for all sin is against Him. "Thou forgavest"?whnt a word to consider! Are you this moment rejoicing that God for Christ's sake has forgiven youP (Eph. lv, 82; I John 11, 12). 6. "For this shall every one that is godly pray unto Thee in a time when Thou mayest be found." Every rejoicing forgiven oue encourages others to come (Ps. 11, 12, 18). There is a time aDd way to find Him and a time when He may not be found. Soo Isa. lv, 6; Jer. xxlx, 18; Prov. 1, 28, 29. In the city of refuge the man who otherwise might have been put to death was perfectly safe. In Christ there Is no condemnation, for He has been delivered for our offenses and rnisod again for our justification, and tho sins cannot * ^???J ?Ll.L L TTl/i Kl/vrt/1 Kntia Koan oe IUUUU WIKUU uj ma uiuvrn uuiv uwu blotted out (Rom. lv, 35; vill, 1). 7. "Tbou ort my hiding place; Tbon t Bbalt preservo me from trouble; Tbon < sbalt oompasa mo about with 6ongs of de- ] llveranoo. Sclah." Soe the threo Thous" ( In this verse. Ho Is our Refuge, Preserver, , Deliverer. It is Himself, not anything nor any one else. God is our refuge and 1 strength; the Lord of Hosts is with us ' (Ps. xlvi, 1, 7). Rejoice in the Lord; bless I the Lord; wait on thy God continually. i My soul wait thou only upon God (Pa , xxxili, 1; xxxiv, 1; lxii, 5; Hos. xil, 6). 8. "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way whioh thou shalt go; I will guide thee with mlno eye." Not only are ' there forgiveness and safety, rest and 1 peace, for all who turn to Him, but also I euro guidance in all tbo affairs of life for all who aro willing to bo guided. The t marginal reading, "I will counsel thee, mine oyo shall be upon thee," tells us tbat not only will Ho direct us, but Ho will ( watch us to 6oe that we get there. See also the very precious assurances of guldanoe I in Isa. xxx, 31; xlvlii, 17; lvlii, 11. ( 0. "Be ye not as the horse or as the ( mule, which have no understanding, whose <, mouth must bo held in witn bit ana oriaie, lest they oome uoar unto thee." The R. V. says, "Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold thein In, else they will not come near unto thee." As to these animals being guided by bit and bridle tboy are often more easily guidod than their masters, but the thought of their coming near only as compelled by the circumstances of bit and bridle is very suggestive of many people who will not come near to God ezoept as compelled by clrcumstanocs. 10. "Many sorrows shall be to the wicked, but be thut trusteth in the Jx>rd mercy shall compass him about." This reference to tho wickod must be taken In tbe light of all Serif ture, which tells us elsewhere that sometimes the wicked prospereth in his way and bringoth wicked devices to pass. They are not in trouble as other men; tbelr eyes stand out with fatness, they have more than heart oould wish (Ps. xxxvil, 7; lxxill, 5, 7). But they shall porish, they shall be out off. Thon their prosperity ends and their sorrows begin and shall never end. 11. "Be glad in tho Lord and rejoice ye righteous, and shout for joy all ye that are upright in heart." So good thing is withheld from them that walk uprightly (Ps. lxxxlv, 11). He who spared not His own Son will with Him freely give us all things (Rom. viii, 82). It bocomos us, therefore, to say that though ull else full, "Yet I will rojoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation" (Hab. Ill, 18). The Lord Himself is our unohanging and unfailing portion. Thoro is nothing that He cannot and will not do for those who trust in Him. Rejoloe in the Lord alway. IfiT'The late Dr. Bethune asked a t morose ana raiseny man now ne was getting along. The man replied : s "What is that of your business?" Said the doctor: "O, sir, I am one of those who take an interest even in the v meanest of God's creatures." s Duties are ours; events are the s Lord's. e |am and Jirwiik j; ======== tl HOUSEHOLD PERILS. ei There are three volatile liquids used st d families which are particularly dan- tt jerous, and must be employed, if at all, w vith special care. ac As regards ammonia, or water of pi immonia, it is a very powerful agent, w ispecially the strongest kinds sold by Iruggists. An accident in its use has ecently come under our notice, in ei vhich a young lady lost her life from t< aking a few drops through mistake. 1 Benzine, ether and strong ammonia ti sonstitute this class of agents. The h .wo first named liquids are employed o n cleaning gloves and other wearing r< tpparel, and in removing oil stains v, rom carpets, curtains, etc. The lipids are highly volatile and flash into rnpor as soon as the cork of the phial tl nntnininir t.hfim in removed. Their fi sapors are very combustible, and will p nflarae at long distances from ignited y :andles or gas flames, and consequent- s< y they should never be used in the a evening, when the house is lighted. v, Explosions of a very dangerous na- a ure will occur if the vapor of these iquids is permitted to escape into the oom in considerable quantities. In fiew of the great hazard in handling .hese liquids, cautious housekeepers vill not allow them to be brought into heir dwellings and their action is comnendable. Breathing the gas, under certain circumstances, causes serious harm to the ungs and membranes of the mouth and lose. It is unobjectionable if proper care is used in its employment. The ihials holding it should be kept apart rora others containing the medicines, stc., and rubber stoppers to the phials ihould be used. Oxalic acid is considerably employed or cleansing brass and copper utensils. This substance is highly poisonous and _ nust be kept and used with great cau.ion. In crystaline structure it closely esembles sulphate of magnesia or Ep10m salts, and therefore frequent mistakes are made and lives are lost. Every drug or chemical compound bat goes into families among inexperienced persons, should be kept in a safe place, labeled properly and used vith great care. WHEAT. While it is too early to sow wneai, he preparation should begin in time, because wheat loves a clean, deeply >lowed bed, which has been allowed o settle again and then brought to a ine tilth, for which reason it can scarcely be rolled and harrowed too jften previous to putting iu the seed. High lands and red soils are best suitid to this crop. At the south, the ;rop is uncertain, but each farmer should at least put in enough to sup- 0 jly home wants, and on account of t be saving in seed and the improved condition of the land for other crops, f| should the wheat fail, it is better to U .oncetrate the preparation and manire on a limited area, rather than detend on a larger area lightly manured ind poorly prepared. The wheat crop j hould be sown according to locality, lbout 10 days before the usual killing rost. The sowing of these grain crops in pn he fall,.and also the seeding of the J grasses and clovers, accomplishes a e! .wo fold object: we add other crops to >ur farm supplies, and, by thus cover- ng the bare Holds, we prevent the ? eaching and washing so painful to see l >n the farm where only the summer ? jrops are cultivated. VVe must learn l hat our farming is an all-the-year ? business, and that it is just as impor- l ,aut to protect our lands the latter ? part of the year as to cultivate and rather crops from them in the regular seasons during the prcceeding months, [t is a fact now generally understood p hat cotton per se has received much l >f the criticism which should have ? )een bestowed on our careless system l )f culture?on the habit we have ? brmed of clearing our lands of every- l shing, even the protection which na- ? ure would spread over them, and l hen leaving the bare fields to the L nercy of scorching suns and deluging A -9? n ? ii ?

Nye, Familiarly known as "bill Nye," was perhaps, the most popular hunori9tofthe Nineteenth century, and milions'of people read his productions each veek, and were pained to hear of his leatb a short time ago. Mr. Nye's home vas Buck Shoals, near Arden, Bnnjomhe county, N. C. He had a very ineresting family and was devoted to it and t to him. He realized a large income rom the products of his pen ana acctimuated a considerable fortune. He was a msiness man and realized the value of ife insurance as a means of protecting the vidows and orphans, and carried a large lum on his life, $5,000 of which was in the dutual Reserve Fund Life Association, lis policy was No. 6,289. We delivered !fo. 303,674 on last Thursday to a gentlenan in Chester. We only make this itatement to show the reader how rapidly he Association has grown since Mr. Nye's >olicy was written 14 years ago, (the com>any is a little more tnan 15 years old) and bat he was shrewd enough to see that it vas safe and sound even in its infancy. During the 14 years that the policy was arried $831.89 was paid in premiums, on in average cost of $59.42 a year or, $11.88 >er $1,000 each year. It Mr. Nye bad had in ordinary life policy in an old line oom>any and paid it the same amount in preniums that he paid the Mutual Reserve lis wife, who was the beneficiary, would lave received $2,526 instead of $5,000. lain by insuring in the Mutual Reserve 2,474. IT SEEMS QUEER o "a man up a tree" that sensible men, vbo are accustomed to apply business >rinciples to all their other affairs, will ontinue to go without insurance, or that ome of those who do buy it will volunarily pay the old line rates when they ?n secure just as good protection for less *v ti. :"i ?hit.-* Iioiiey.. tiun i/ ii iuiik mui way iaj ywu inee the matter has been called to your ittention?
