He did not want foragers in front or stragglers behind his command, and he was quite severe upon offenders. Among the most incorrigible of the foragers was an Irishman who knew Logan before the war, and who presumed a little upon his acquaintance. hen other men were held to strict account in the matter of leaving ranks, Pat managed in some way to have a good deal of freedom in his exploration of the country for chickens and butter and eggs. In some way he always managed to make peace with his immediate superiors. The liberty allowed Pat had a demoralizing effect on the other men, and Logan determined to settle the question himself. He told the Irishman plainly that the next time he saw him outside the ranks he would look after his punishment him self. He wasn't going to have any freebooter in his command, and he explained to Pat with agood deal of emphasis what he would do with him. The very next day, as the general was riding along at the head of his division, he caught a glimpse of the incorrigible forager in front. Patrick dodged behind some underbrush, but Logan turned his horse so as to unmask him. Pat, seeing that he was sure to be discovered, came forward to meet the general, and pointing to some turkey buzzards hovering about a dead tree, he asked: "General, what's them?" Logan frowned and scowled and tried to look him down! Pat's simulated interest was too much for him, however, and he said gruffly: "They are turkey buzzards." "And sure you are mistaken, general," said Pat; "they are brevet turkeys, that's what they are." This cut at brevet appointments so tickled the general that he turned his horse and rode away. Smoother Traveling.?Some of the railways down this way are still a little shaky. The old Jerkwater line is especially loose in the joints. A commercial traveler, who came in yesterday, relates a little experience while bounding over the road: "We were whooping along," he said, "at the rate of seven miles an hour, and the old train was weaving terribly. Passengers were rolling from one end of the car to the other.

This happy thought suggested itself to a philosophical farmer, who said to the lightning rod agent, "Stranger, keep off the thunder. Thunder paralyzes me." "Well," admitted the agent, "I think, myself, that thunder is the more danx gerous of the two. What you want is thunder rods." "Have you got thunder rods ?" "O, yes; the brass tioped are for lightning and the nickel tipped for thunder; but the latter cost a little more." "Put up a few of the thunder rods," said the farmer, "I don't mind paying a little extry so long as I feel safe." When the Cat is Away.?Mamma? "Clara, you have not been a good girl today.

[Original] NAAMAN THE SYRIAN. It is little that is known of this individual. His name, so far as we remember, occurs only in the fifth chapter of Second Kings and in the fourth chapter of the gospel by Luke. The fifth chapter of Second Kings, which contains all that we certainly know about Xaaman, is a kind of historical episode. The sacred historian digressed from his theme to narrate a most remarkable occurrence in the life of the prophet Elisha. The Jews have a tradition which makes Naaman, the Syrian, the individual who "drew a bow at a venture, and smote the King of Israel (Ahab) between the joints of the harness," so tnat ne tueu. mis rests on no better authority than a very old tradition, but the language of the Scripture in which Xaaman's name first occurs, seems to favor its truthfulness. We are told that "Naaman was captain of the hosts of the King of Syria, (or properly Aram), that he was a great man with his master, and honorable." The reason given for his being a great man in the eyes of his master, probably Benhadad, is "because by him Jehovah had given deliverance unto Syria." This language implies that Naaman had killed some one who was an enemy of Jehovah as well as the King of Syria. The only fact in the personal history of Naaman which is recorded is that he was a leper. This is introductory to another fact. A marauding, or plundering band of Syrians had invaded a part of the land of Israel, and brought away, as a captive, a "little maid." Tnis was by no means an unusual occurrence. It was common for those plundering bands to invade the territory of their neighbors, drive away cattle and capture those of the inhabitants whom they thought would make good slaves. The little maid captured on this expedition, by some means, we are not informed what, became the slave of Xaaman's wife. Very little is said about this little maid. The whole is contained in less than thirty short words. We may safely infer a great deal about this little maid. She had been well raised. She had been brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. This is inferred, from the fact that she not only knew Elisha, but she believed he could, as the prophet of the Lord, recover Naaman of Iiis leprosy. Although a slave, far away from her native land, she was anxious that her master be healed of his loathsome disease. "Would God," she said to her mistress, "my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria ; for he would recover him of his leprosy." This language was prompted by a heart whose prevailing characteristic was piety. This was not all. The language of the little slave made a deep impression on even the King of Syria. He believed her, and prepared to send Naaman to Samaria, and actually did send him. Just at this point in the history of Xaaman, a series of facts took place, which are intensely interesting and full of instruction. The King of Syria, Benhadad, or whatever was his name, made ample provisions for Xaaman's journey to Samaria. The king gave him a letter of introduction to the King of Israel, and also stated in the letter for what purpose Naaman was sent. In addition to this, Naaman took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment. Whether this money and changes of raiment were furnished by the king or by Naaman himseif, is not stated. We cannot even approximate the value of the ten changes of raiment, but the ten talents of silver and six thousand pieces of gold (probably shekels of gold) amounted to more than seventy thousand dollars. The whole, designed as a blessing or reward for his recovery from his leprosy, amounted to perhaps the enormous sum of one hundred thousand dollars. This was indicative of either great liberality or extravagant display. Perhaps it indicated both. The journey to Samaria was attended with great pomp and display. Naaman had his horses and hi3 chariot and no doubt a numerous retinue of richly dressed servants. Here began a series of grave blunders in the conduct of Naaman, which are very inotpiintiro Tinf- if is wnrthv of notice that although Naatnan was a leper he was a miserably proud man. His disease made him loathsome, still he was fond of pomp and display. How like men universally. They are the subjectsof a spiritual leprosy, which renders them morally loathsome, but they, like Naatnan, the Syrian, are fond of display. The little maid directed Naatnan to go to the prophet of the Lord, but he went to the King of Israel, whose name is not mentioned, probably it was Jehoram. No matter who was King of Israel, he was unable to "recover a man of his leprosy," and confessed the fact. Why Naatnan went to the king and not to the prophet, we need not inquire. Perhaps he was desirous of making a great display of his chariot and horses, of his ten talents of silver and six thousand pieces of gold, and his ten changes of raiment. No doubt he had some selfish end in view. Leper although he was, he still was proud. It requires but little imagination to see the long train accompanying the chariot in which was seated a miserable creature, his skin covered with whitish scales, entering the city in which was the palace of the King of Israel. With what gaudy display the retinue move on to the front of the palace, and with what pomp the letter of the King of Syria is presented. The poor afflicted, but proud leper soon discovers his mistake. lie has gone to the wrong place. The King of Israel is frightened, and as a sign of distress rends his garments. What a life-like picture is this of men spiritually. The word of God?the Bible? and the living ministry, and the providences of God point them to the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. They are bidden to go to him as humble sinners, with broken and contrite hearts, and be saved, but instead of obeying they get up a huge cayalcade of abominations ] and go some place else to be healed. mi 1- -i. 1 iL,? ,1 5t Iny prcjputJL j'jIjsiuv ucaiu wi uic umic.^ of the King of Israel, and sent him word to send Naaman to him, "and he shall know ! that there is a prophet in Israel." No j doubt Naaman had become disgusted and ! perhaps declared that there was no prophet j in Israel. How long Naaman remained ; with the King of Israel we do not know, but after the king received the message from Klisha, Naaman set out to go to the prophet. We do not know where Klisha was at that time. His usual place of abode was Mount Carmel, but at this time, he was probably at Jericho. No matter where he was, Naaman "came with his horses and his chariot and stood before the door of the house of Klisha." You can almost see the ; scaly leper as he views, with the frown of contempt, the humble dwelling of the man of God. Klisha treats him with righteous indifference. He did not so much as go to the door j and recognize his presence, but sent to him a messenger, saying, "Go wash in Jordan ! seven times, and thy flesh shall come again j to thee and thou shalt be clean." Naaman bit his scaly lip with rage, and turned away | in disgust, his proud heart boiling over with j venomous hate for the man who would treat Naaman, the Syrian, with such marked in-1 difference. "I thought," he muttered out in his rage, "he would surely come out to me. I am Naaman, the Syrian. Man of God although he be, he ought to feel honored to come out to me. He is nothing hut a poor Jewish prophet, living in a miserable hut. I am Naaman, the Syrian. 1 thought he would come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God. and strike his hand over the place and recover the leper. Instead of this he sends one of his servants to tell me to go and wash in that miserable sluggish Jewish stream, Jordan, and I shall be clean. 1 will not do it. Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? This prophet of Israel is nothing but an unmannerly brute." Change the name, and every community can furnish a Xaaman. There are multitudes who think it would be a great honor to God to get the opportunity to save them from the wages and pollution of sin. They are, morally speaking, miserable scaly lepers, but they are as proud as Satan. They think, like Xaaman, the Syrian, that min-, isters of the gospel, office-bearers in the : church, the people of God universally, and Jesus Christ himself, ought to come out to them, and stand appalled before them,? ! make a great parade over them, salute them i j as great men and honorable men. In other words, there are multitudes who go away J in a rage when they are told to go and wash in the blood of Jesus Christ and be clean. This is too degrading for men of so much wealth as they have, for men occupying the high position they occupy. They are not absolutely indifferent with regard to their salvation, but they prefer to be lost?lost forever, rather than ao what God commands them to do. If God will make a great parade over them, they have no special objection to being saved, "but God be merciful to me a sinner," they will not say. They are Captain Naatnan, the Syrian, and Jesus Christ must first recognize their title or they will have nothing on earth to do with The Blight ok Strong Drink.?Rev. Dr. Dawson Burns, of London, who preached the forty-fifth annual temperance sermon in Church Street Chapel, referred to the still prevalent drink blight as follows: "Still strong drink taints and blights the physical, moral, and mental life of countless multitudes. Strong drink still darkens, impoverishes, and degrades the home-life of hundreds of thousands of families among us. Strong drink still penetrates the whole fabric of society, disturbing and disorganizing wherever it proceeds, and whatever it touches. Strong drink still wastes the food and wealth of great kingdoms, not in satisfying any real necessity, but in creating a ravenous appetite and a raging vice. Strong drink still acts, producing greater devastations than volcanoes Cver-flaming and pestilence forever smiting. Strong drink acts as the prime minister of hell in opposing all influences of the Church, the school, and all evangelizing and humanizing institutions. Strong drink still bars, to a large extent, the advance of the nation to that degree of civilization and morality to which all other influences tend to conduct it, and to which, but for this malignant power, it might have attained." A Beactikul Instance ok Faith.? One of the lambs of t.< flock, who, in his early infancy, had been "made a member of Christ, a child of God, and an inheritor of the kingdom of Heaven," joined his school fellows in attendance upon a "revival meeting" appointed for children, when the terrified little ones were shown their condition and duly warned to flee from the wrath to come. Durino- t,hf> nrneress of the meeting, one of the officiating ministers passed down the aisles, and made more personal appeals. Laying his hand upon the head of our little Christian, he inquired audibly : "Well, my little man, have you found Christ." "Why," he replied with surprised assurance, "I have never lost him." Blessed little child, enfolded within the sheltering arms of the Church, (which is Christ's body on earth) when still are set as at the first, the little children in the midst, to exemplify that beautiful truth, "Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." Bgg-To be sincere in our beliefs and practices do not, by any means, make those beliefs and practices right. We have seen that Paul was, so far as can be discovered, just as sincere when he was persecuting the people of God as he was when he was preaching the gospel. Our beliefs and practices must be of Bible origin. In other words, we must be able to trace them to the Bible, and if not we may conclude that they are wrong no matter how sincere we maybe. S&&* Much as we may admire Paul we must not forget that he was only a man. He had his faults just as other men, he did wrong just as other men, he had to be kept by the power of God like other men, he had to live by faith like other men. We must not suffer Paul to stand between us and Jesus. Paul has no power to save us. God selected Paul to do a particular thing. He did his work well only because God worked in him, through him and by him. YORKVILLE ENQUIRER. Prospectus for 1886. A BUGGY AND TWO ( ASH PREMIUMS !
