The following very unlikely but not meaningless story is borrowed from the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and is reprinted here in the hope that it may do good: He was an angular man with gray ear-whiskers. He gave up his seat in the crowded car with an alacity that spoke well for the cheerfulness of his disposition. The lady who took the proffered seat was stout and haughty. She slipped into the vacant place without a word. The angular man looked at her thoughtfully, then he stooped over and said: "I had an uncle, ma'am, that had just that same affliction." "Sir!" said the stout lady, with an insulted toss of the head. "Yes," continued the angular man, "he couldn't pronounce any word beginning with 'th' to save his neck. That's right. He'd stutter and stammer, and the best he could do would be to give it the sound of's.' It was a dreadful affliction. His oldest sou's name was Theophilus, but he always called him Sophilus. Had it long, ma'am ?" The stout lady was dark red from vexation. "You are insulting," she managed to say. "Well, I don't wonder you hate to hear anybody refer to it," said the angular man, with great cheerfulness. "But I couldn't help noticing it when you took my seat and wasn't able to say 'thank you.' I wouldn't have minded in the least if you'd said 'sank you'?Oh, do you get off here? Good day, ma'am." "Like Hogs or Like Gentlemen?"?Years ago, when it was more the fashion in Kansas than at present, United States District Attorney "Bill" Perry gave a "stag party" to his gentlemen friends at Fort Scott. He had procured a bountiful supply of cold beer for the delectation of his guests, but 1~: J ?? ?oo o nnct. lilU 11 owaj iu au uppci *uwm ? |/v?? prandial surprise. When the proper time arrived for the revelation of his surprise, he said to the assembled company : "Boys, I have a lot of cold beer up stairs, but before we start I want to know whether you intend to drink like gentlemen or like hogs." "Ob, we'll drink like gentlemen; lead on 'Billy," chorussed a dozen voices in reply. "That settles it," replied the jovial hosts, as a smile rippled over all three of his double chins. "I'll have to send for more beer. A hog always knows when he's got euough." Queer Justice.?It is not to be expected that perfect justice will be done under laws that are made and administered by imperfect men. In Arizona, says the Philadelphia Inquirer, a man was sentenced to pay a fine of $10 or go to jail for 10 days. He had only $3, and the court accepted that sum in lieu of three days' imprisonment. By some carelessness on the part of the jailer, however, the man was kept in jail for the full 10 days. Naturally he made objection and demanded redress, to which demand the court replied that it was no doubt just, but that there seemed to be only one way in which it could be granted. If he would commit a second offence he would be sentenced for 10 days as before, and then he allowed a three days' discount or rebate. ? ? ? tST One night when Admiral de Horsey, r.t Port Royal, was returning to his flagship alone, his way to the boat led across tne DarracK square. A black sentry of one of the West India regiments halted him at the gate with "Who goes dar ?" Great was the admiral's annoyance to find he had neglected to get the password. "That's all right," he said, carelessly, hoping to overcome the man's scruples by, indifference, "you know who I am." "Dunno know nobody, sar," replied the Negro, pompously ; "you can't go in dar." "Why, I'm Admiral de Horsey !" "Well, you can't go in," was the reply. "I don't care if you's Admiral de Donkey, I don't." Two Different Kinds. ? Bob Nickleby married a wealthy old maid for her money. She paints up and presents quite a handsome appearance at a distance, at balls and parties. On the other hand, Sam Chuzzlewit's wife is young and good-looking naturally. Both were in attendance at a ball on Austin avenue, and Mrs. Nickleby was painted like a doll. Next morning Nickleby met Chuzzlewit and said: "Our wives looked beautiful at the ball last night." "Yes," responded Chuzzlewit, "and my wife looks that way yet."?Texas Siftings.

Text of the Lesson, I Cor. Till, 1-13?Memory Verses, 12, 13?Golden Text, Rom. xlv, 7?Commentary by the Rev. D. M. Stearns. 1. "Now as touching things offerod unto Idols, wo know that wo nil have knowledge. Knowledge puflcth up, but charity edlfleth." The R. V. has for the last clause, "Love edlfleth, or bulldeth up." Tho words "Now as touching" lntroduco us to a new section of tho epistle. Compare chapters vil, 1; xil, 1; xvl, 1. This section seems to reach to the end of chapter zi, ana mignc dc Ruinmea up in me wuran of chapter x, 31, "Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." Tbo great Incentive to this Is "Remembrance of Him till He come" (chapter xi, 24-20). 2. "And if any man think that hoknoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know." It is 6aid that "to know our ignorance Is the first stop to knowledge." The great men of the Bible story knew nothing except as they were told by God. Noah knew nothing concerning tho ark, nor even when to enter It or loave it, except as God told him. Moses knew nothing concerning the tabernacle, nor the Journeyings of Israel, except as God told him. The prophets, and oven our Lord Jesus Christ, were told by God what to say (Ex. iv, 12; Deut. xviii, 18; Jer. i, 7). 8. "But if any man lovo God, the same is known of hiin." Tho Lord knoweth them that are His, and those who know His name will put their trust in Him. We lovo Him bocauso Ho first loved us. Ho so loved as to give His only begotten Son, and tho Son of God loved me and gave Himself for mo. Unless His great love so takes hold of me and constrains mo that I give myself wholly to Him to servo and please Him only I do not know His love as I should. Lovo seeks not its own, and is not provoked; but suffereth long, and is kind and bearcth all things (chapter xiii, 4-7). God is love, and will manifest it in us. 4. "We know that an idol is npthing in the world, and that there Is none other God but one. ' This Is fully set forth In Isa. ill, 24; xliv, 0-20: "Ye are worse than nothing, and your work worse than of a viper. An abomination chooseth you." "They that muko a graven imago oro all of them vanity, und their delectabio things shall not profit, and they are their own witnesses. They see not nor know; that they may bo ashamed." But the people of God ore witnesses that He is the living and true God, and that there is none beside Him (Isa. zlv, 6). 6, 6. "For though there be that are called gods, to us tbcro is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things and wo In Hiin, and ono Lord Jesus Christ, by whom oro all things, and wo by Him." All things were created by Him and for Him, and He is beforo all things, and by Him all things consist (Col. i, 16, 17). From Rev. iv, 11, and I Pot. iv, 11, we may learn to say, "Thou art worthy, O Lord, and I am for Thy pleasure, that God In ail things may be glorified through Jesus Christ." 7. "How belt thero is not in every man that knowledge." Thero are those today, as there wore those at Corinth, who bear the name of Christ and yet offer their time and strength and money to the idols of fashion and pleasure and tho vain things of this world, and think it all right so to do. If you ask, Are they truly Christ's people? we can only answer thut if they are they arc not truly serving Him. As to their being His, chapters ill, 14,15, and v, 5, seem to suggest that possibly they may be, and thoy may be saved as by fire, just barely saved. 8. "But meat commondeth us not to God." What wo eat or do not eat is a small question except as regards the body's health. The kincdom of God is not meet and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost (Rom. xlv, 17). Our Lord Himself suid, " Whatsoever thing from without entereth into tho man, it cannot defllo him; that which oometh out of tho man, thut deflloth tho man" (Mark vli, 18, 20). Tho salvation of the soul depends wholly upon tho finished work of tho Lord Jesus, und wo aro accepted by God as His children entirely upon tho merits of Christ. We deserve nothing but punishment for our sins. Yet, coming as sinnors, wo uro justified froely by His grace (Rom. iii, 24). The same grace, and * nlnno mnkra arvnntahln what WO do unto Hiiu. 9. "But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to them that are weak." Liberty is always out 01 place when it hurts others. Love seeketh not her own. Many things may be lawful for us that aro not expedient The question is not, How will this or thnt affect me, but how will it affect Him and His cause for whom I am living here? We aro on the witness stand all the day long, and we aro either true or fulso witnesses unto Him by tho books we read, tho company wo keep and the places we frequent. Wo aro either pointing peoplo to Christ and drawing thom to Him or wo arc llko Naomi, sending 6ome Orpah bock to Moab and idolatry. 10, 11. "Through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died." As Christ died for all, then ull who will may come to Him and be saved. But if I, a Christian, am seen in the idol's templo, the theater, tho ballroom, the card party, and there is present some poor soul enjoying these things because he knows of nothing bettor, yet hungering for something he has not and cannot ilnd, although possibly having heard that Christ can satisfy, and he seos mo in such a place, then ho muy well say or think that there is nothing in it, for, see, theso Christians uro just as hungry as I am for tho pleasures of this world. 12. "But when ye sin so ugainst tho brethren and wound their weak conscience yo Bin aguinst Christ." All thut is done for or aguinst u child of God is done for or against God und His Christ. Tho "inasmuch" of Math, xxv, 40, 45, is always applicable. A Christian may bo a stumbling block over whom some unsaved soul may stumble into eternal torment, or may by Inconsistent conduct not only lose his own works, but h ad others so that their works will perish too. This will bo avoided if we remember that wo uro embassadors for Christ and thut wo uro hero in His stead to say and d<- what Ho would if Ho were here ^11 Cor. v, 20). 18. "Wherefore, if meat muke my brother to offend, I will cut no flesh while tho world stundcth, lest I make my brother to offend." One says thut whatever hurts tho weuk ought to bo avoided by tho strong. Somotimes it is us important not to do as to do. Daniel was a great refrainer. He refused the dainties and seemingly essentiul things of the king's table for conscience's sako toward God. SeT Let us look back through the week just ended, and think if we have done anything to make anybody else happier. 8?" There is no wise or good man who would change persons or conditions entirely with any man in the world.?Jeremy Taylor. Jam and Jircstdc. EFFECT OF WATER ON HORSES. A horse can live twenty-five days without solid food merely drinking water; seventeen days without either eating or drinking, and only five days when eating solid food without drinking. Ad idea prevails among horsemen that a horse should never be watered oftener than three times a day or in twenty-four hours. This is not only a mistaken idea but a very brutal practice. A horse's stomach is extremely sensitive, and will suffer under the interference, causing a feverish condition. reeuiug a uuioc JHIIJOIJ/CUIJ wu g.uiu and driving it five hours without water is like giving a man salt mackerel for dinner and not allowing him to drink until supper time?very unsatisfactory to the man. If you know anything about the care of horses, and have any sympathy for them, water them as often as they want to drink?once an hour, if possible. By doing this, you will be not only merciful to your animals, but you will be a benefactor to yourself, as they will do more work ; they will be healthier; they will look better, and will be less liable to coughs and colds, and will live longer. If you are a skeptic and know more about horses that any one else, you are positive that the foregoing is wrong, because you have had horses die with watering them too much, aud boldly say that the agitators of frequent watering are fools in your estimation, and you would not do such a thing. Just reason for a moment, and figure out whether the animal would have over-drank and over-chilled its stomach if it had not been allowed to L??

Let him get over-worked, over-stocked, or abused, and particularly for the want of sufficient drink in warm weather, and the consequences will always be injurious. Sensible hostlers in large cities are awakening to the advantages of frequent watering. Street car horses are watered every hour, and sometime ofteuer, while they are at work. It is plenty of water that supplies evaporation or perspiration and keeps down the temperature. What old fogy methods amount to may be seen by the change in medical practice to man. Twenty years ago a person having a fever of any kind, or pneumonia, was allowed but little water to drink, and then it had to be tepid. Today practitioners prescribe all the iced water the patient can possibly drink; and in addition, cold bandages are applied to reduce and control the temperature of the blood. What is applicable to man will never injure a horse. Use common sense and human feeling. Don't think it is a horse and capable of enduring any and all things. A driver who sits in his box and lashes his wornout, halfcurried, half-fed and half-watered team should never complain of any abuse he may receive from his master or employer, for he is lower in character, harder in sympathy and less noble than the brutes be is driving, and he deserves in the name of all that is human, the punishment of a criminal.? Chicago Clay Journal. The Colt's First Lesson.?The first lesson that should be given every young colt is that man is its god, a being of such awful power that resistance to him is impossible. The lesson can be given very easily. The first time the owuer sees the colt, he should approach it quietly ard place his left arm in front of its breast and the right around its hips and hold it until it submits. There will be a struggle, but the colt will yield to a moderately strong man, and when it once yields, the impression is never lost. Henceforth man is its god. It learns gradually that this being of such, to it, infinite power, does not mean it harm, is in fact, its friend, and this establishes confidential relations between it and the human family which will be maintained on the colt's part until it falls into the hands of some fellow who is unworthy of the friendship of a good horse. After the first lesson is taught, then everything is easy. The next is to teach it the strength of the halter, and that when its master first ties it, it must stay tied. Haltering once or twice a month after it has been weaned will keep the lesson fresh, and when it comes to breaking the colt, there will be no breaking to do. All that remains is to teach it what you would have it do for you. Try it and you will be convinced. Diseask of Fowls.?One teaspoonful of liquid carbolic acid given in two quarts of water is an excellent preventive of most diseases among fowls. One tablespoonful of chlorate of potash in one quart of water for roup; for little chicks that are weak in the legs, one teaspoonful of sulphate of soda in one quart of water. For worms, give ten drops of aloes or spirits of turpentine in a pint of water. For canes, add a few drops of spirits of camphor or turpentine to | the drinking water. For cold or catarrh, put teu drops of aconite in a pint of water. For sneezing or running at the nostrils, put about one tablespoouful of kerosene oil in one <juart of water. Asafcutida tied up iu a rag and placed iu the drinking water for the fowls will he a good remedy for roup, also a preventive of most diseases. To Drivk Away Vermin.?A writer in The Scientific American, says he has cleared his premises of vermin by making whitewash yellow with copperas and covering the stone and rafters in the cellar with it. In every crevice in which in rat might go he put the copperas, and scattered it in fhe corners of the floor. The result was a complete disappearance of rats and mice. Since that time not a rat or mouse has been seen near the house. Every spring the cellar is coated with the yellow wash as a purifier, and a rat exterminator, and no typhoid, dysentery or fever attacks the family. afiT" The use of profanity shows a lack of verbal resource, indicating a weak tongue and a weaker brain. piswUanfous parting. LINCOLN'S PARTING ADVICE. It is a well-known fact that while President Lincoln was by nature a religiously inclined man, he struggled for many years against religious disbelief. One of his oldest friends was Joshua F. Speed. He was probably on more intimate terms with the president than any other man. Their friendship began with the earliest dawn of Lincoln's career, and ended only with his death. Relative to this friendship and the last interview but one between the two, Alice D. Shipman, whose father eutertained Lincoln and Douglass for weeks at a time under his roof, tells the following story in the New York Sun : A few months before he died the president asked Mr. Speed to spend a night with him at the Soldier's Home. The guest arrived just after sunset, and, as was his wont, ran up to the president's rooms. There was the president reading a book. As be came nearer in the twilight the visitor was surprised to see his old friend reading the Bible. With the freedom that only a long intimacy could give, Mr. Speed said : "I am glad to 3ee you so profitably engaged." "Yes," answered Lincoln, looking up seriously, "I am profitably engaged." "Well, said Speed somewhat sadly, "if you have recovered from your skepticism, I am sorry to say that I have not." The president for a moment looked him earnestly in the face, then placing his band gently on the doubter's shoul der, said with unusual solemnity, as if for the moment the premonition flitted across his wind that these might be the last important words he should speak to his friend: "You are wrong, Speed ; take all of this book upon reason that you can, and the rest on faith, and you will, I am sure, live and die a happier and a better man." Mr. Lincoln was too great a man to sneer at devout feeling and a believing heart.- He knew that the faculty ol faith is as much a part of our being as Vin fonnllv nf Lrn envied ere and he MVP I.UV '"VU..J w. - D_, CD' - it its place and its honor in man's labor and joy. The mighty burdens that President Lincoln bore, forced him nearer to the Power unseen but supreme, and became the culture of his laith. Many a tired soul h is beeu led to open the pages of tha Bible who never otherwise would have known its solace and its strength. Christ's words were an invitation and a prophecy, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." t m , I Never Say Die.?What is more soul-stirring than to see a man, who, beaten on every side, crowded into a corner, fighting heroically to recover lost ground? Him who when his legs fail him, fights upon his knees. Him who exemplifies the old Norse maxim : "Either I will find a way or make one." It has been well said that "success consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." Push on. Friends may desert, the clouds of doubt and discouragement, of sorrow and despair, may hover around about, but there is no night without its morn, no lane without a turn. The world wants men, it is bound to recognize him who knows not how to yield.

Never envy those who have not, figuratively speaking, been obliged to take in their sails to weather a squall. If you have been crippled, hasten to repair the damage and fall into line again.
