Had His Way.?A Boston journal
says: "Among tbe passengers on the
St. Louis Express yesterday, was a woman
very much overdressed, accompanied
by a bright-looking and a selfwilled,
tyranical boy of about 3 years.
"The boy aroused the indignation of
the passengers by his continued shrieks
and kicks and screams, bis viciousness
toward the patient nurse. He tore
her bonnet, scratched her bands, and
finally spat in her face, without a word
of remoustrance from his mother.
"Whenever the nurse manifested
any firmness, the mother chided her
sharply.
"Finally, the mother composed herself
for a nap; and about the time
the boy had slapped the nurse for the
fiOth time, a wasp came sailing in, and
flew on the window of the nurse's seat.
The boy at once tried to catch it.
"The nurse caught his hand and
said coaxingly:
" 'Harry mustn't touch ! Bug will
bite Harry!'
"Harry screamed savagely, and began
to kick and pound the nurse.
"The mother, without opening her
eyes, or lifting her heafl, cried out
sharply:
? 'Why will you tease that child so,
Mary ? Let him have what he wants,
at once.'
" 'But, ma'am, it's a?'
" 'Let him have it, I say.'
"Thus encouraged, Harry clutched
at the wasp and caught it. The scream
that followed brought tears of joy to
the passengers' eyes.
"The mother awoke again.
" 'Mary!' she cried, 'let him have it!'
"Mary turned in her seat, and said,
confusedly : 'He's got it, ma'am !' "
Courting a Schoolmarm.?"Ye9,"
said the young man as he threw himself
at the feet of a pretty school teacher,"
"I love you and would go to the
world's end for you."
"You could not go to the end of the
world for me, James. The world or
the earth, as it is called is round like
a ball slightly flattened at the poles,
One of the first lessons in the elementary
geography is devoted to the shape

"Of course I did, but?"
"And it is no longer a theory. Circumnavigators

fact."
"I know, but what I meant was that
I would do anything to please you,
Ah ! Minerva, if you knew the aching
void?"
"There is no such thing as a void.
James. Nature abhors a vacuum ; but
admitting there could be such a thing, i
how could the void you speak of be a

"Fly! It will be another century

overcome there will still remain, says
a late scientific authority, the difficul- J
ty of maintaining a balance?" ,

youth, "I've got a fair balance in the
bank and I want you to be my wife.

I?-A young man whom everybody |,

is now receiving with the greatest good
nature the jokes of his friends. Not
long ago he got married?but there is
nothing funny in that. But the first ;
time he went to church where his father's
family worshipped, the young
couple arrived rather late, for they ,
had some distance to travel and were
unlucky about the cars. The services
seemed to have already begun, but the
bride knew the way to the family pew, !
and, nothing daunted, took her way
up the aisle. The young husband followed,
when what was his dismay to 1
see the pastor solemnly open the Bibie 1
and declare rather loudly to the con- '
gregation, "Behold the Bridegroom
cometh." And his friends have called
him the Bridegroom ever since.?Bal- i

in other ways had given him to understand
that it was time to go. He felt
nettled on observing these signs of her 1
desire to get rid of him, and determin- '
ed to have revenge. "Won't you sing <
something for me?" he asked. "Sing '
at this time of night? Why didn't
you ask me before ? Why do you want '
me to sing now ?" "Well?er, the fact
is, I want to be reconciled to leaving

Smarte so much as you did." "No.
Fact is, I have reasous for suspecting
that my company is not so agreeable
as it might be. The last time I was
there, I suppose I did stay rather long,
and when I got up to go, Miss Smarte
said, 'Must you go now? I was in
hopes you would stop for breakfast.'
Somehow I got an idea that perhaps
it would be just as well for me not to
waste any more time at that house."?

LESSON V, FIRST QUARTER, INTERNATIONAL
SERIES, FEB. 2.
Text of the Lesnou, Loke v, 17-26?Memory
Versed, 22 to 24?Golden Text, Lake ,
24?Commentary by the Key. D. M.
Stearns.
J7. "And It came to pass on a certain
day as Ho was teaching that there were
Pharisees and dottors of the law sitting
by, which wore come out of every town of
Galiloe and Judea and Jerusalem, and the
power of the Lord was present to heal
them." The title of this lesson is "The
Power of Jesus," and It is seen in this
chapter in the draft of fishes, the healing
of tho leper and of the paralytic, but specially
In tho forgivenoss of sins. As He was
teaching on this particular occasion the
bouse was full of leading and influential
religious people, but He, the humble carpenter
of Nazaroth in their estimation,
thought not of their opinion and so, as al- .
ways, pleasing the Father, He preached
the word unto them (Mark ii, 2). Although
the power of the Lord was present
to heal, thev had como not to be healed,
nor to be blessed, and they got neither.
18. "And, behold, men brought in a bed
a man which was taken with a palsy, and
they sought means to bring him in and to
lay him before Him." The Pharisees and
doctors needed no help, in their own estimation,
but here is a poor, afflicted, helpless
man sadly needing help and very conscious
of it. There is a saying that "God
holps those who help themselves," but tho
whole 6tory and teaching of Scripture are to
the eifect that "God helps those who can
not Help cneinseives ?mo utterjy neipiess
and hopeless, humanly speaking, as the i
lepers, the blind, the dumb, the deaf and
the paralyzed, and such as could givo Him
no recompense but themselves in gratitude
for His loving kindness.
19. "They went upon the house top and
let hlra down through the tiling, with his
couch, into the midst bofore Jesus." Their
sympathy was practical, they were very
persevering, they manifested their faith
by their works. It may be that each of
the four hod himself been healed of 6ome
infirmity and therefore they oould truly
sympathize with their friend, and having
each for himself seen and known the power
of Jesus they knew that could they only !
get him to Jesus the thing would be done.
20. "And when He saw their faith, He
6aid unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven j
thee." We read in Math, viii, 8-13, of the i
faith that said, "Speak the word only and
my servant shall be healed," and without
even seeing the 6lck one Jesus healed him. (
The faith of these men seoms hardly so (
great as that of the centurion, but it was
real faith in Jesus, though different in degroe,
and it plensed tho Lord. "Without
faith it is impossible to please Him" (Heb.
J xi, 6). Tho man was brought to be healed
01 bis paisy, dud aesus, uko u skiuiui physician,
sees the true source of his troubles
and begins the cure at the fountain head.
Not all sickness is the direct result of individual
sin, but sometimes it is so, as in
John v, 14.
21. "Who can forgive sins but God
alone?" Thus reasoned the scribes aud
Pharisees as they heard the words of Jesus
to the sick man. We may imagine their
consternation and possibly scowls and anger
as they saw the roof broken up over
their heads. Contrast the perfect calm of
Jesus, unmoved by having His discourse
interrupted, or by the disturbance overhead,
or by tho hatred in their hearts, the
very essence of peace and quietnoss, He who
said to winds and waves, "Peace, be ,
still!" was Himself always peaceful and j
still, for Ho lived in the presence of God, .
the God of peace.
22. "But when Jesus perceived their ,
thoughts He, answering, said unto them, t
What reason ye in your hearts?" It is writ- r
ten of Him, "I know the things that come
into your mind every onoof them" (Ezek.
si, 6). Ho understandoth oven tho imag- ?
ination of tho thoughts of the heart (I t
Chron. xxviii, 9). He understands our (
thought tJar off (Ps. exxxix, 2). It is a '
great comfort ton sincere heart that trusts
in Him that Ho can read tho heart and .
that Ho thoroughly understands us. It is, z
?? thn onnt.nirv. nnffnish to the unsaved
when they allow themselves to think of it 1
that their every thought is known to the
searcher of hearts. See .Ter. xvii, 10. t
23. "Whether is casior to say, Thy sins j
be forgiven thee, or to say, Rise up and e
walk?" An ordinary physician may effect i
a cure for the body, but only God can heal
the soul. Ouo has said that the work of j
creation was completed in 6ix days, but 1
the work of redemption kept the Son of 3
God on earth for over 83 years. Concern- '
ing the first, Ho spake and it was done, j
but to accomplish the second God became
man and suffered indescribable agony of
body and soul for our sins. To forgive sins t
is surely the greatest work, for it cost God '
the most.
24. "The Son of Man hath power on
earth to forgive sins." Therefore the Son
of Man is none other than the Son of God,
oven God Himself. Instead of saying, as s
their unbelief said, "Who can forgive sins
but God alone?" faith would have 6aid, *
"He forgiveth sins, therefore He must be j
our God," according to Isa. xliii, 26. What
a joy that He still forgives sins! I have 1
been glad for 22 years that Ho has forgiven
my sins, and I first saw it in I John ii, 12. fl
I have had no dream or vision about it,
but I believe God. I rest in tho finished '
work of the Lord Jesus Christ and just
take Him at His word. I believe also that
as truly as Ho redeems the soul He will in j
due time redeem the body.
25. "And immediately ho rose up before t
them and took up that whoreou ho lay and .
doparted to his own house, glorifying
God." We read at least 6evon times in this i
gospel of "glorifying God." Theshepherds -1
glorified God when they had seen the babe ,
in the manger, the people glorified God
when they had seen tho widow's son raised i
to lifo, the woman who was bowed down ,
18 years glorified God when she was made
straight, one of tho ten lepers glorified
God, the blind man glorified God and the
Roman centurion glorified God (ii, 20;
V, 25, 26; viii, 16; xlii, 18; xvii, 15; xviii,
48; xxiii, 47). We glorify God when we (
believe in Jesus Christ, when we make it
manifest to others that wo have confidence
in Him, and do actually trust Him, when
wo, uy patience ana meeaness, oy iove anu
joy and long suffering und kindness, make it
very plain to others that Christ Hlmso'f *
is living in us and that wo bolong to Him. t
26. "And they woro all amazed, and j
they glorified God and were filled with
fear, saying, Wo have seen strange things c
today." They had seen an impossibility, ?
humanly speaking. They had seen the i
supernatural. They saw a sin sick soul |
made clean and whole, a sick body made '
well, and they saw a preacher undisturbed (
by an Interrupted discourse, or by the an- s
ger of the influential people In his au- |
dicncc. All these things were superna- j
tural and glorified God, and they glorifleu
God when they acknowledged His hand in
the heuling of the palsied man.
"THE LEGEND OF THE TWO SACKS."
An ancient legend describes an old
man traveling from place to place with
a sack hanging behind his back and
another in front of him. In the one
behind him he tossed aH the kind
deeds of his lriends, which were soon
quite hidden from view and forgotten.
In the one hanging around his neck,
under his chin, he threw all the sins
which his acquaintances committed;
and these he wus in the habit of turning
over and looking at as he walked
along day by day, which necessarily
hindered his course.
One day, to his surprise, he met a
man also wearing two sacks.
"What have you here?" he asked.
"Why, my good deeds," replied number
two. "I keep them all before me,
and take them out and air them often."
"What is in the other big sack ? It
seems weighty."
"Merely my little mistakes. I always
keep them in the sack hanging
over my back."
Presently the two travelers were
joined by a third, who, strauge to say,
also carried two sacks, one under his
chin and one on bis back.
"Let us see the contents of your
sacks," said the first two travelers.
"With all my heart," quoth the
stranger, "for I have a goodly assortment,
and I like to show them. This
sack," said he, pointing to the one
hanging in front of him, "is full of
the good deeds of others."
"Your sack looks heavy ; it must be
very full," observed the old man.
"There you are mistaken," replied
the stranger; "they are big, but not
heavy. The weight is only such as
sails are to a ship. Far from being a
burden, it helDS me onward."
"Well, your sack behind can be of
little use to you," said number two,
'for it appears to he empty. And I see
it has a great hole in the bottom of it."
"I did that on purpose," said the
stranger, "for all the evil I hear of
people I put in there, and it falls
through and is lost. So, you see, I
have no weight to drag me backwards."
BST "What is the use of all this nonsense
of having seconds and all that,
when two men want to fight a duel?
Why don't they get together and tight
it out ?" "Oh the seconds are useful to
notify the police."
8?" Not what we have, but what we
enjoy constitutes our abundance.

THE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER publishes
weekly, more news than any
other paper in the Fifth Congressional
district, and is distinguished from othe>
papers in the following important particulars:
First. It is edited at home foi

reliable. Fourth. It gives its subscribers
the greatest values for the least money,
Fifth. It is issued both weekly and
semi-weekly. Sixth. It is the best

THE SEMI-WEEKLY EDITIONS
are issued on Wednesdays and Fridays,

pers in that it eliminates that which is ol
no interest in this section, and condenses
into short and convenient space the gist
of important happenings in such a manner
as to give the reader the greatest amount
of information with the least amount ol
reading. The size of each edition is governed
by the amount of important matter
to be published ; but it is never less than
twentv-four columns, and always contains
more live news than any other paper published
in this section.
THE WEEKLY EDITION is intended
especially for those subscribers who find
it inconvenient to get to the postoffice at
frequent intervals, and who prefer their
weekly reading in one paper. It is of the
same size and shape as formerly, contains
all the news of the semi-weekly, and such
happenings of importace as may develop
after the semi-weekly has been published.
It will give the readers a complete and
comprehensive review of the happenings
of the week, and keep them as well informed
as the semi-weekly, except at less frequent
intervals.
The main features that have so long
distinguished THE ENQUIRER as the
leading country weekly of the South, will
be preserved without change, except in
the direction of improvement. Here we
refer to the continued publication of
COPYRIGHTED SERIALS by the foremost
writers of the day, carefully selected
Miscellaneous matter that is both entertaining
and instructive, Humorous
matter, "Wayside gatherings," and Farm
