A Late Discovery.?I met him on Canal street, New Orleans, or rather, he eame up to me as I was leaning against a door-post, and asked: "Be you from Illanoy?" "No?Michigan." "That's too bad. I wanted to find somebody from Illanoy." "Broke?" "No, not yet. See here, I'm pizenly bothered." "Well ?" "Well, I've been a hired man in Illanoy for the last thirteen years, gettin' about $10 a month and board. I've always looked upon board as wuth about a dollar a week, but?" "Well?" "I just kinder filled up back here at the restaurant?just about half a square meal? 'nutf to pitch hay or corn on for an hour, and what dy'e 'spose the figger was?" "Oh, about seventy cents." "Seventy pumpkins! It was $1.30 or I'm a sinner. Say!" "Yes." "That's $3.90 a day for fodder, or about $100 a month. A hundred a month is twelve hundred a year. Thirteen times that is about $15,000." x ca.

They Waited.?"AH women are alike in their fear of cars," said an Illinois Central conductor. "They carry their caution to absurd extremes. That reminds me of a little story. Down in the Southern part of the State we have up at road crossings some of the old fashioned signs, 'Look out for the cars when you hear the bell ring.' At one of the crossings the other day two women came up, driving an old horse hitched to a buggy. They looked all around and couldn't see any cars, but happened to read the sign. 'Stop,' said one, 'I hear a bell.' They both listened, and sure enough they heard a bell tinkling. One of the women got out, and amid considerable excitement took hold of the horse's bridle. The other one tighted her grip on the lines and set her jaws, and prepared for the worst. They looked anxiously up the track for the train, but couldn't see it, though they could hear the bell a little plainer than before. They waited and waited and five minutes passed, and ten minutes passed, and still no train. The old horse went to sleep while the womens' nerves from long straining threatened to throw them into hysterics. Nearer and nearer came the bell against which the sign warned them, and they stood still. In about a quarter of an hour a brindle cow came walking down the pasture by the side of the track, chewing her cud and monotonously jingling her bell. One of the women cried from nervousness and the other one got mad ?< tho railrnrrl cnmnnnv.nnd said thev were nothing but mean old monopolies, auyway."

Harris lives in Fort Worth. Neither he nor his wife is very smart, as will be seen by the following incident: |Last night Sam heard a noise under the bed. "There is somebody under the bed," said Sam to his wife. "It's Fido, I guess." "No, I think it's a burglar," replied Sam. "Just reach your hand down, and if it is Fido he will lick it." The burglar, for it was one after all, overheard the conversation, and when Sam reached his hand down the burglar licked it all over very affectionately. This was entirely satisfactory, and they both went to j sleep, but when they woke up next morning | there was no*; much left in the house that ; was worth carrying off'.?Texas SiJtings.

THE FATHER AT HOME. Some fathers fail to gain their children's confidence by an apparent lack of sympathy. On the other hand, few young people ever take the trouble to put themselves in their father's place?to imagine how he must feel this or that behavior, how a disrespectful word or look insults him, or a voluntary confidence is prized by him. There are many things, no doubt, which boys j and girls do not care to speak of before their j father; but they do not know how hurt pater familias feels when a conversation is stopped upon his entering the room, when he is made to feel that he is not one of the circle, that he is a power to be respected and propitiated, but no more. Very often a man has himself to blame for this state of things, but not always. Often it is mere love of secrecy which make girls especially exclude their father as much as possible from a knowledge of their doings, their friends, their comings and goings, their fears and hppes. With some this reticence must be necessary. Confidences would only be met with suspicion or blame or ridicule. But most men have a tender spot in their hearts, even for the weakness and foolishness of "their own flesh," and feeled pained when they are "silently condemned as unn'A.tKu nf nnnflfionnp Pafpr familiar mav HV/K/UJ VI wuiivivt.w. ? ? j ^ be too proud to show that he feels hurt. He may wrap ^imself up in dignity and affect a contempt for the trifling concerns of the girls; he may even repel the first advances, but his heart may be exclaiming bitterly against the coldness and hardness which excludes him from the knowledge of his daughter's mind and heart which is given to half a dozen schoolgirl friends. A girl owes much to her father, even if he has not been all to her that a parent ought to be. He has had to work hard, very probably, that her bread and butter might be secure. He has borne wires, anxieties, struggles, temptations, at which she can but guess?of which she can form no real conception. If he is hard and unsympathetic some allowance for the nervous irritation of an overworked or anxious man may surely be made. And a girl never, we believe, has any conception how precious she is in her father's eyes. Itough words and cold or angry looks may seem to disprove it, but it is true nevertheless. More even in a sense, than his wife, she appeals to his protective care. He may scold or slight her, but let any real harm threaten her and she will see that to touch her is to touch the apple of his eye. The day comes, no doubt, when her allegiance and sympathy are transferred to another, in right of a still higher claim. There is little wonder if poor pater familias looks askance on him at first and is slow to admit that he is the one at whose coming his reign nr..,of ar>r1 Tf ia tho Will' C)f HJltUre. ftlld it IUUOV V/liVI. AV * LJ ?I*V .? w. , - , must be so. But it is hard. A father often loses more on his daughter's marriage than her mother does. "My daughter's my daughter all her life." But a father's right changes entirely when the ring is put on the finger. Till the fairy prince comes, then, let pater familias be considered and deferred to, and if necessary, humored. Let him i not be made to feel that bare duty is to be paid to him. Let him not feel himself a stranger in his own house. For many a little sacrifice, many a gentle or patient word, unnoticed, unacknowledged at the time, and soon forgotten by her who ren- j ders it, lives in the memory of him who receives it.? Waver ly. The Old Liberty Bell.?The trip of this venerable piece of metal to the New Orleans Exposition will be the second one it has ever made since its reception in Philadelphia. In 1751 the Pennsylvania Assembly authorized Isaac Norris, Thomas Leech, and Edward Warner to procure a bell for the State House. Accordingly, under date November 1st, of that year, these gentlemen wrote to Robert Charles, of London, stating their order and authority, and applying to him to get them "a good bell of about 2,000 pounds weight," which they fancied might cost ?200 or more, including charges. In the letter is inserted : "Let the bell be cast by the best workmen and examined carefully before it is shipped, with the following words well shaped in large letters about it, viz: "By order of the Assembly of the Province of Pennsylvania for the State House, in the city of Philadelphia, 1752." And underneath: "Proclaim Liberty through all the land unto all the Inhabitants Thereof."?Leviticus xxv: 10. In due course of time the bell reached Philadelphia, and under date of March 10, 1753, Mr. Norris again writes : "In that letter I gave information that our bell was generally liked and approved of, but in a few days after my writing I had the mortification to hear that it wascracked by a stroke of the clapper, without any other violence, as it was hung up to try the sound; though this was not very agreeable to us, we concluded to send it back by Captain Budden, but he could not take it oh board, upon which two ingenious workmen undertook to cast it here. When we broke up the old metal our judges here generally agreed it was too high and brittle, and cast several little bells to try the sound and strength, and fixed upon an ounce and a half of copper to one pound of the old bell, and in this proportion we now have it." The casting was done by a native of the Isle of Malta named Pass, and son of Charles Stow. It was discovered that too much copper had been used, and a second casting was found to be necessary, and in the first week of June, 1753, it was rehung in the belfry, its weight being 2,080 pounds. In 1774, the base of the wood work of the steeple was so decayed that it was taken down, and a small belfry alone covered the bell. Since then, however, the steeple has been reconstructed as it originally stood.! In 1777, at the time the British were ex- I pected to occupy the city, the bell was! removed to Bethlehem. It occupied one of the wagons of a train of 700 all under | charge of Col. Polk and detachments of | North Carolina and Virginia troops. At Bethlehem, September 23d, 1777, the old bell met with its first accident, the wagon which carried it breaking down, but fortunately it sustaned no injury. After the evacuation it was returned to the State House steeple, and some years afterwards was cracked, this ending its career of use- j fulness. Friction* Matches.?"I low is business?" j asked a reporter of a wholesale dealer in ; Swedish matches. "I suppose you are very ; busy at the present time." "There you are mistaken was the reply, i "This is our dull season. We do little or no business from December 1 to March 31. The population of the United States is stated at | about 55,000,000persons. Of these only 20,-j 000,000 live inTities, leaving 35,000,000 in country places. During the summer time 1 the men work in the fields, and when they want to light their pipes they use a match. After work they sit around in groups on the fences until it is time to go to bed. Those j wnosmOKe, llgnt uieir pipes wiui Iimienes, which they carry in their pockets. This is not the case in winter. The inen either i work about the farm house or sit in the I country store. At the former place they i light their pipes with a hot coal from the farmhouse fire, which is kept alight all winter with a big back log, being banked up at night with ashes. If at the store, the hot poker, which is always kept in or near the stove, serves to light innumerable pipes, i These may seem to be small matters, but with from 5,000,000 to 0,000,000, comprising the male portion of the out-of-town inhabitants, it makes a considerable difference with regard to the sale of matches. Then again there are the farmers' wives, who keep fires going night and day. Now, the non-use of say ten matches a day for four months in perhaps 0,000,000 houses will,; alone, cause a dull time in the match business ; for it will amount to 5,000,000,000 matches, to say nothing about those not used by the men. But the country people do not cause the only loss in the trade; for there are less used among city people in winter than summer. "Millions of matches are not used in this way, and I could go on repeating instances that would account for the fact that our trade, as well as others, has its sesaon." Slow Suicide.?To lose sight of the end in the eager use of means, to forego Jresults gained for the sake of results imagined, to livein a perpetual climb without admitting that we have climbed at all, to hope with-j out ever recognizing "the substance of, things hoped for," is a sort of slow suicide. 1 VVWWWwWWY YKWVYKVA\ wmv WWTO\\?\?WV fUafliitg fat the Sabbath. CONDUCTKD BY BEV. ROBERT LATHAN. [Origlnnl.] i PAUL. No mere man ever made such an impression upon his fellow men as did the Apostle Paul. He first comes into notice at the stoning of Stephen. There he is spoken of as a young man at whose feet were laid the clothes of them that stoned Stephen. We . next hear of him on his way to Damascus, a city of Syria, about one hundred and twenty miles north of Jerusalem. At this time he bore the name, Saul. When he had come within a short distance of Damascus, he was arrested in his mad career by Jesus Christ, who uersonally appeared unto him. He was taken, by the command of Jesus Christ, to Damascus, and there baptized by Annanias, after which he returned to Jerusalem. While engaged in prayer in the temple at Jerusalem, Jesus Christ again personally appeared unto him,and senthim "far hence unto the Gentiles." Buta.short time before this he had been commissioned, at his own request, by the high priest and elders of the Jews and sent out to put to death all who believed in Jesus Christ. Now he is commissioned by Jesus Christ himself to testify for nim "before the Gentiles, and the kings, and the people of Israel." The conversion of Paul was miraculous. It is the only case of the kind on record. That Paul underwent that peculiar change which is denoted by the word conversion, is evident fro?nall the facts in the case. No one dare say that Paul underwent no change of heart, but that for some reason, prudential or otherwise, he simply desisted from persecuting the followers of Jesus Christ, and, for the same reason, whatever may be alleged, espoused the cause of Jesus Christ. It is true that the human feelings of his heart, if these were not all, at that time, crushed out, might have prompted him to desist from persecuting; but there was nothing, viewing things from a human standpoint, to induce him to follow Jesus Christ. Paul, however, tells us that in persecuting the saints he thought he was doin^ his duty?doing what he ought to do?doing God service. Christianity at that time had nothing to offer an unconverted man which would at all be likely to induce him to accept it. In fact, Christianity, as viewed at that time by an unconverted man, had everything in it to induce his unconverted heart to reject it. What was there to induce Paul, unconverted, to join himself with a few obscure fishermen ? It is admitted that these fishermen proclaimed that Jesus is the Christ, and offered eternal life through his blood. This is the very thing that Paul, before his conversion, did not believe, and he was confident that he would be saved by the deeds of the law. The conversion of Paul shows the wonderful change that actually does take place in conversion. In some respects the conversion of Paul was unlike every other conver sion, either before or after it. In its main and leading features there was nothing peculiar about it. The change whifih took place in the soul of Paul is the identical same thing which takes place in the soul of every individual who is converted. The attending circumstances in no other case may be like those which were present when Paul was converted, neither may they be alike in any two cases, but the conversion is the same. In other words, there are not several kinds of conversion; there is but one conversion. No better explanation of what conversion is can possibly be given than that change which manifestly took place, in the ease of Paul, affords. Paul's case is an occular demonstration of the effect of conversion, and the conversion of Paul and the effect of that conversion on Paul stands so close together that it is difficult to distinguish the one from the other. It will do every individual good to study carefully the history of Paul's conversion. If such iscarefully and prayerfully conducted, it will result in / iat comfort to some, } and others will be api to discover that their conversion is a miserable sham. ^ [Original.] SIX. Sin is well defined when it is said to be any want of conformity with the law of God, or any transgression of the law of God. About sin there are some things which are marvelous. It requires the smallest possible amount of intellect to fit an individual for violating God's law. In order to succeed well in nearly every vocation in life requires good natural endowments and consider-1 able training, but a brainless fool, without j nHnmifw\n nf nmr binrl U'hutdi'PP i?j i often at the very beginning of his career alarmingly successful in trampling God's law under his feet. The stupid dunce who cannot learn to read his own vernacular language without stammering, learns easily and rapidly to utter foul oaths. There is another thing marvelously strange about sin. Men never get too old to learn how to sin. Men get too old to learn how j to plow, or chop, or to do any sort of work ; but they never, unless restrained by God's grace, get too old to sin in some form or other. Another thing that is strange about sin is that it is always accompanied with suffering. Misery follows sin as the shadow follows the substance. Sin leads to misery. All its tendencies are to misery, both of body and soul. These facts being all well known, the strangest thing of all is, that we all, in our unregenerated state, love to sin. We do not, it is true, love the consequences of sin, but we love to violate God's law. We love j it dearly. We are passionately fond of sin- j ning. Nothing but God's preventing grace, < or his converting grace, can stop us from ; sinning. There is a power in sin which : nothing but Almighty God can restrain. | No human agency can check it, much less | put a stop to its progress. Unrestrained by ! God's grace, no one knows what he will be- ! come, or what he will do. The only reason j that all men have not become what some! men are, is that they have been kept by ; God. The Pkicelessxess of Max.?Let men | speculate as they will on man's origin and place, let them expound the stages of devel-1 oprnent by which he has attained his pres- ' ent structure and power; this much, at least, 1 is clear about him?clear on the face of God's j word ; that he is a being whose rescue from \ moral evil is held on high to be worth the agony and the bloody sweat, the cross and j passion, the precious death and burial, the glorious resurrection of the Son of God. His sacrifice is the eternal witness to the truth that man at his very worst is worthy of being ministered to from heaven, and at a cost which defies expression in terms of our earthly sacrifices. If you are tempted to think meanly of man; it, face to face with the dark facts of his vice and frailty, all the fine things that j poets have sung of him and prophets have i forecast, seem to you to be a hollow mock ery, then remember that there is a judginent above yours; remember that, however little you can see to honor or admire,; there must be in each one something of infinite value, since God would fain redeem each for himself by an infinite sacrifice. The humblest personality is glorified by this thought of redemption, and you cannot stand before a human being, tie matter what his race, his creed or his character, without being in the presence of one .vhom God loves and for whom Christ has died. Christian Fourkakaxce.?1"Forbearing one another in love" is a duty enjoined by the apostle, and one which should be more fully observed. How little forbearance is often manifested by professing Christians towards those who differ from them, or who fail to come up to the standard of excellence which they have fixed! How exacting they are, and how much disposed to magnify every little failing or foible in the character and conduct of others! Where is the loving forbearance enjoined by the apostle? Where is the mantle of charity that covers a multitude of sins? Would it not be well for Christians to think of this, and see whether they bear with each other in the spirit of the Master as they should ? If most Christians would but think of their own weaknesses, they would find sufficient reason to be charitable toward the failings of others. JSfPaul preached of faith, and Paul had faith, and therefore Paul went to Jerusalem without a doubt that the Lord would watch over him when he got there.

A CHILD! Tauiottok, Ga., Sept. 12,1884.?My little son, now seven years old, broke out when a babe three weeks wlih what the doctors called eczema, beginning on the head nnd gradually spreading over the whole body, lie was treated for five years or more by various physicians without relief, and the little hoy's health was completely broken down. About a year ago 1 was Indue- , eri to use on him Swift's Specific, and two bottles cur- 1 ed him sound and well, anil there has been no sign of a R return of the disease. P. O. Holmes. Poisoned by a Nurse. ' Some eight years ago F was inoculated with poison by n nurse who infected my babe with blood taint. The littin child lingered along until It was about two years old, when Its little life was yielded up to the fearful poison. . For six long years I have suffered untold misery. I was L covered with sores and ulcers from head to tool and in my V great extremity I prayed to die. No language can express O my feeling of woe during those long six years. I had the jj best mediual treatment. Several physicians successively ." treated me, hut all to no purpose. The Mercury and Pot. ' ash seemed to add fuel to the awful flame which was de vouring me. About three months ngo I was advised to p try Swift's Sp--- and I felt hope clfic. We did so wF again revive In s; my breast; but alas ! alas ! we had spent so much for 'J medical treatment that we were too poor to buy. Oh! the agony of that moment! Henltlt nnd happines within your reach but too poor to grasp It. I applied, how- $ ever, to those who were nlile and willing to help me, nnd F have taken Swift's Specific, nnd am now sound nnd well once more. Swift's Specific is the P nest blood purifier in the world, and is the greatest bless- 11 ing of the age. Mrs. T. W. Lee, Greenville, Aln. j< O A Druggist 25 Years. 1 Aiibdes, Ala., Sept. 8,188-1?I am an old Pharmacist, nnd have had to do largely with blood diseases for over T twenty-five years. I have dealt in all kinds of blood a purifiers,and do not hesitate to say that Swift's Specific is the best and has given more general satisfaction than _ any other 1 have ever handled. Last year a young stu- *' dent came to my store emaciated and covered with S sores. I recommended S. S. S. Fie took only three bottles, and the sores disappeared, his throat healed up t, and his skin cleared off. (lis flesh was smooth nnd fresh as that of a child, and he has gained ten pounds. I scarcely knew hint when he returned after nil absence S of several weeks. He claimed to be renewed in fiesli ami spirit. A number of other cases less malignant Have mute miunr my niwcmuum mm mi mm u>c >^> results. Swift's Specific is nil excellent tonic, and as an antidote for malaria, has no superior. Many Indies are tl lining it as a tonic for iteueml debility, and find it tile O most satisfactory one ever used. I have been deal inn in Swift's Specific for five years or more, and nin sails lied Hint 1 do not place too high an estimate upon its merits. G. VV. Pixos.
