ODD BITS FROM BABY LIPS.
Stories of infantile wit and humor
are so popular nowadays, the NewYork
Tribune is prompted to give the
following:
Little Harry, three-years old, was informed
by bis mother that bis aunt
and little cousin were on the steamer
homeward bound from England, and
that he ought to ask for their safety in
his prayers. Accordingly, he included
them nightly in his childish petitions,
until they at length arrived. The
evening after their return he said his
prayers, as usual, at his mother's knee.
He paused a momeDt, and then she
was astonished to bear:
"And, O Dawd, you needn't bother
any more about aunt Fanny and little
Joe. They dot here all right."
A certain mother in a Rhode Island
city selected an inauspicious Sunday
to take her small boy to church for the
first time. It happened to be a communion
service, and the last comer
was deeply interested in all that occurred.
At length he exclamed, in an
audible and delighted whisper, "Mamma,
mamma, they're going to pass the
cake, ain't tbey ?"
The oldest son of a Harlem household
bad been to Europe for an extended
trip, and on his return, a small
brother, four years old, followed him
about with open-eyed and open-eared
admiration. There was a family diniTAiinnr
fal Inur'o
LICI IV WUiUJUUlUiatC bUC JfUUU^ iVKvu w
return, and the four-year-old appeared
at the table for a moment on his way
to bed. He was as bashful as children
usually are at such times, until suddenly
he said, "Pa, is damn a French
word ?"
"No, my child," said the horrified
parent.
"You must never say that again."
"W?11," rejoined the unterrified infant,
"Brother Charley says it's French
for 'Oh, my,' and he always says it
when be puts on bis collar."
Brother Charley's sentiment toward
his youthful relative can be better
imagined than described.
Greater infantile acumen, however,
was displayed by the small boy in a
suburban town, who swallowed a penny.
"Kitty," called his alarmed mother
to her sister in the next room, "send
for the doctor ; Willie has swallowed a
penny 1"
"No, mamma," interposed the terrified
and frightened victim ; "send for
the minister."
"Why ?" faltered his mother.
"Because papa says our minister can
get mouey out of anybody."
ills WATCH WAS XUUMX.?XX e was
a fierce-looking, yellow-bearded son of
the soil, and be drove up to the little
country statioo in a dilapidated old
wagon behind a still mure dilapidated
horse. He had two passengers for the
mail train.
The station agent was on the platform.
"Guess you're late," he remarked,
cheerfully.
"Train hain't gone, has it?" anxiously
inquired, the rustic.
"Twenty minutes ago, and late at
that."
"Wall, I'll be durned ! I sot my
watch by Bill Rogers, and he sot bis
by Joe Collins, aud Joe said his was
railroad time. Ain't I right?" and he
held^out an antiquated turnip to the
gaze of his audience. The agent assured
him that he was approximately
correct.
"Now, look here," pursued the excited
granger, "the last time I was
vnn tnlil mo t.hnf thp t.rAlfl
UUVTU UV1U JVW VVIV4 tMV VWMV V..V ?.w.~
went at a quarter past one, and here it
is past ten and the train's gone !"
The agent tried to persuade him
that be was mistaken ; but he persisted
and grew more and more wrathy.
"When did I tell you that?" the
agent ventured, finally.
"Wall, let's see, it was about the
time my daughter Luciudy got married
; couldn't be longer thau three
years ago, I'm dead sure."
The agent tried to explain to him
that railroads sometimes found it convenient
to change their schedule from
time to time ; but the,agriculturist was
not pacified, and muttered, as he gathered
up the lines: "I claim that the
railroad hadu't oughter change its
time 'thout letting folks know. But
'tain't no use to do nothing agin one
of them bloody corporations."
Waiting.?A western widow owns
and occupies a cottage under the shadow
of a church steeple which is supposed
to be in danger of falling when
a high wind blows. At midnight, a
few nights ago, when the wind blew
fiercely, she got up and dressed, called
the children up and dressed them,
and then folded her arms with the remark
:
"Now, then, if the steeple falls and
kills us, people will know that we
were a respectable family- anyway.
George, you brush your hair a little
more, and Sarah, you take your feet
off the stove-hearth, and pin your
collar a little more to the left!"

43. "Now after two days tieaepirceo
thence and went into Galilee." The Samaritans,
hearing the woman's testimony,
came unto Him to hear Him for themselves.
Many believed because of what
she told tbem, and through their entreaty
He abode there two days, and many more
believed because of His own word (verses
89-42). Thus 60uls were saved, united to
Him, made partakers of His redemption
and His glory, and there was joy in heaven
as well as in Samaria (Luke zv, 7, 10).
Untold blessing came to them through this
Jew, and because of Him they forgot their
differences.
44. "For Jesus Himself testified that a
prophet hath no honor in his own country."
His own country was Nazareth,
and, though Ho taught in their synagogue,
they only wondered at him and called
Hira the carpenter's son and were offended
at Him, so He did not many mighty
works there because of their unbelief
(Math, ziii, 54-58). We need not think it
strange if sometimes those nearest to us
do not think much of us. If well known
in heaven, we can be content to be unknown
on earth, and the consciousness of
His approval, whoso we are and whojn we
6crve, is everything (Acta rxvii, 23; II
Tiin. ii, 15).
45 "Then when He was come into Galilee
the Galileeans received Him, having
seen all the things that He did at Jerusalem
at the feast, for they also went unto
the feast." At the feast of Jerusalem He
had cleansed the temple and wrought
many miracles (chapter ii, 17, 23). At
one time He said, The works that I do
bear witness of me that the Father hath
sent Mo (John v, 86), and He also said,
The Father w ho dwelleth in Me He doeth
the works (xiv, 10). Wo are commanded
to let our light 6o shine that others may
6oe our good works and glorify our Father
which is in heaven.
40. "So Jesus came agnln into Cana of
Galilee, where Ho made the water wine,
and there was a certain nobleman whose
son was sick at Capernaum." At the marriage
He supplied their need, He delivered
from a difficulty, He manifested His glory.
Ho is the same yesterday, today and forever
(Hob. xiii, 8), and wo are assured
that He will supply all our need, and deliver
from all difficulties, and preserve us
unto His kingdom (Phil, iv, 19; II Tim.
iv, 18).
47. "When he heard that Jesus was come
out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto
Him and besought Him that Ho would
come down and heal his 6on, for he was
at the point of death." He hoard that
Jesus was como, therefore some one must
have been telling. How necessary it is
that we should bo ever telling that Jesus
has come and suffered and died and risen
again, and by His life and death and resurrection
provided eternal redemption for
all who will receive Him, and that He
will como again to give immortal bodies
to all His people and to set up His kingdom
on the earth!
48. "Then said Jesus unto him, Exoept
yo see signs and wonders ye will not believo."
Fuith need6 to be tried, for by
trial faith is strengthened. Jesus never
6aid an unkind or an unnecessary word,
and therefore there was a cause why He
should thus speak to this nobleman. They
were ever suying, Shew us a sign. What
signshewest Thou (Math, xii, 38; .John 11,
18) and there may have been a desire for
such even in this man's heart, for the
Lord knew what was In man.
49. "The nobleman shith unto Him,
Sir, come down ere my child die." When
it is a great emergency and the soul is
very much in earnest, our words are apt
to be few and to the point. Perhaps as
tho man journeyed he tolerated doubtful
thoughts, but by our Lord's remarks be
recovers himself, and now comes this cry
of faith, believing that if Jesus will only
come his boy will live. It was a father's
heart cry for his son. See one much more
pitiful in II Sam. xviii, 33, because it was
too late. What did our Father in Heaven
feel as He gave up His only begotten Son
for us?
50. "Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way,
thy son liveth. And the man believed the
word that Jesus had spoken unto him,
and he went his way." The Rame voice
which said, Let there be light, and there
was light; the same word that made the
heavens and all their host; the One to
whom nothing is hard or wonderful (Gen.
i, 3; Ps. xxxiii, 6; Jer. xxxii, 17) said to
this man these comforting words, and the
man rests upon them in quietness and
confidence and goes his way expecting to
find his son living and not dying. There
are joy and peace in believing, but there is
no steadfastness apart from it (Rom. xv,
13; II Chron. xx, 20; Isa. vli^ 9).
51. "And as he was now going down
his servants met him and told him, saying,
Thy son liveth." And 60 it came to
pass as Jesus said. When Paul was told
by tho angel in the storm at sea, after all
hope was given up, that all would be
saved, he 6tood forth and said, Be of good
cheer, for I believe God that it shall be
even as it was told me. And so it came
to pass (Acts xxvii, 25, 44). When Mary
believed the message of Gabriel, it is written
of her, " Blessed is she thut believed,
for there shall be a performance of those
things which were told her from the
Lord" (Luke i, 45).
62. "Then inquired he of them the hour
when he began to amend. And they said
unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour
tho fover left him." Wo may imagine the
anxious watchers after the father left home
and how they would reckon the time till
his return, bringing with him the great
prophet. They would say, Now he is at
Cana, now he is perhups talking to Him,
now if ho has found Him he ought to be
leuving for home, and all the time they
would bo watching tho siok boy, perhaps
unublo to lift his head, and not caring to
open his eyes, and they were longing for
Jesus to come.
63. "So the father knew that it was at
the same hour in the which Jesus said unto
him, Thy son liveth, and himself believed
and bis wholo house." Faith cometh by
hearing the word of God (Horn, x, 17).
Every promise believed uml fulfilled increases
our faith, und if only wo are willing
and yielded our God will fulllll in us
all the good pluusuro of His goodness and
the work of faith with power (II Thess. i,
11)64.
"This is again tho second miracle
that Jesus did when Ho wus come out of
Judma into Galilee." In tho two miracles
we havo gladness and health. In His
prcsenco is fullness of joy. There is a
i r i..
river tne streams wutreui uiu?t
B>c?F We can hardly talk together five
minutes on any subject touching life
without finding it full in our way to
say something that may help or please ;
and those whom all like best largely
win their love by this one secret:
uniformly they avoid the hurt and
achieve the kiudness, either beiDg possible.

FILIPINOS WANT RECOGNITION. li
b
Proclamation Inviting Co-Operation of the ^
Spaniards.
The Filipino delegation that went to 3
Washington not long ago as the agents I
of Aguinaldo, on last Tuesday, gave c
out the following: "
"General Francisco Villanueda y 0
Felipe, governor general of the ViSr ?
cayas, has, upon the retreat of the ''
Spaniards from Iloilo and its occupation
by the Filipino troops, acting un- e
der directions from Aguinaldo, issued S
a general manifesto of amnesty to the 1
Spaniards of that city and province, ?
guaranteeing them all liberties under
the republic as enjoye4 by the Filipino 1
people. The manifesto also calls upon 1
the Spaniards to stand by the Filipinos, 1
as brothers with mutual interests, for ?
the establishment of a just govern- [
ment. The proclamation has bad the
effect of pacifying the Spanish resi- 1
dents of the city and causing them to ^
yield williugly to the authority of the 1
government of the Filipinos. The 0
paper shows much ability upon the
part of the governor general and a .
familiarity with many of the most 1
Important events of history. After the ,v
usual nralude to such documents, the 11
x -- -- manifesto
continues:
" 'A new era has dawned upon the
Orient, a new epoch has been inaugu- s
rated in the history of the world, for,
in fact, a new nation has been born ;
the first republic of Asia has been g
established, and has taken its place d
among the sisterhood of nations of the ^
globe. It is the republic of the Phil- [
ippine islands, whose chief and presi- j
dent is General Emilo Aguinaldo. The j
Filipinos have, indeed, surprised the -]
civilized world by the success of their j
revolution. They have shown to the 3
world what a people can do in the j
great struggle for human liberty and (
independence. Yesterday it was Lu- f
zou, tbday it is the Viscayas, tomorrow a
it is Mindanao and the rest of. the p
islands of the archipelago, proclaiming L
independence, establishing a confeder- a
ation, a free and independent republic.
Providence has at last opened the way a
and freed a people from the bondage jj
of slavery which they have suffered 5
for centuries. Man has been but the ^
instrument in His bands and in carry- j.
ing out the eternal lawe of God. j
In the beginning of the century Spain j
vanquished the French army at Bailen, t
Navarra and Zargoza, the imperial t
army of Napo.leon which had beeu fear- s
ed by all Europe. America drove her t
English oppressors from the shores ol ?
the new continent, and with uo more c
right tbau the Filipinos have now -j
driven the Spanish from the shores of j
these islands. They did it to establish
liberty and independence, as the Filipi- j
noshave also done. No nation and no g
people loves tyranny. Dessaliues, in ]
Santo Domingo, made war without t
mercy against the white people of that g
island and destroyed property without j
regard, to prevent it from falling into (
the bands of the oppressors of his peo- j
pie. Bolivar, a mere student in South j
America, swore that he would liberate j
his people, and fullfilled bis mission, j
Today, we of the Filipinos have an ^
angel from Providence, who is General ?
Emilo Aguinaldo, who announced that
he would free his people from their oppressors,
and the result is that we see
today the establishment of an indedend- a
ent republic, the first that the Orient
has ever seen. We have not feared
those giant machines of war which
make the very waters tremble; but
we have defied them, knowing that .
our cause was a just one, and that
success would surely come to reward
our eiforts. We have driven the enemy
from our shores, and now, brother ,
Spaniards, it is to you that we turn
to extend to you the same blessings of
liberty which we have fought to attain ,
for ourselves. You have been long .
with us; but perhaps, naturally bound
by ties that are hard to sever, have
largely upheld the mother country, J
although her exactions have been burdfcnsome
to you.
Mt8nain has been vanauished in the
war with America and has lost her jj
ships and treasure. She has been ?
forced to surrender her sovereignty to
the Philippine Islands aud to submit *
to the establishment of an independent
government, which now exercises jurisdiction
over all the islands of the ^
archipelago. We are willing for the
common good to forgive you for hav- t
ing contended against us, and will now
extend to you the same rights and *
privileges which were gained in this in- t
dependence for the Filipinos. It is not
well that more blood should be spilled e
and we desire no internal strife. The
best, the most capable of our people,
will govern. Spaniards, as well as the
people of other nationalites, will be t
welcomed as citizens of the new republie
upon equal terms with the native 8
people, for a new flag now flies over t
the Philippine islands. You will be
guaranteed the blessings of the insti- r
sutions which will be established un- ^
der the new regime. You will be guaranteed
the security of your property ;
the safety of your money will be guaranteed
by the bank of the Filipinos
that the result of your labors for years ^
may not be lost to you.
" 'My dear Spaniards, our interests
are mutual; we should live together as
brothers, forgetting the past and re- j
joicing in the formation of a grand republic.
We should befrieud a common
cause?liberty. This liberty
should always be preserved. .Because
Spain denied liberty she lost the sovereignty
of these islands. General Polavieja,
during the last revolution, v
with 27,000 men, was scarcely able to b
suppress the uprising in the province v
of Cavite, but then we were unarmed 8
and defenceless. Now we have plenty
of arms and ammunition, with factor- ,
ies now manufacturing, and thousands
of native citizens who are willing and
at all times ready to defend their flag, s
the flag of the new born republic. ?
Now, all Spain, with every male member
of her population shouldering a
rifle, could not march aguinst us and
retrieve the lost islands. Therefore,
Spaniards, it is to your interests that
you unite with us iu obedience to the
laws and help in currying out the
plans of the republic.' "

winter of our discontent" we fiud

which our shoes refuse to he kept ou

[)NE OF PARSON HAVENS'S FIGHTS. '
One of the most beautiful and tbrilg
uarratives of James Havens, the
Iginal of the "fighting Parson Magrur,"
who figures in Mr. Edward
jgleston's "Circuit Rider," has not
en told by that author. It was re- j
- ^ -?* AAnToranoQ Klf on AIH I
.CU ?11/ II 1 CWOU1/ WUIOIOUVV WJ wu vtu
mpanion of Rev. Mr. Havens.
Indiana was full of violent men in
ose days, who thought it a fine thing r
disturb religious services, especially J
campmeeiings; and the preachers
onetimes bad to defend themselves
d protect their services by maiu
*ce. Parson Havens, though a man
peace and wonderful gentleness,
is a redoubtable antagonist when
Lacked by ruffians of this stamp. r
While still a young man, Havens is
once eating his breakfast at the p
bin of an old couple in a thinly setid
region, when the doorway was n
ddenly darkened by a big, ruffianly- ]j
sking man, who demanded : 3
"Be you Havens, the fighting t
eacher ?" ^
"My name is Havens, and I am a {
eacher," said the circuit-rider. ii
"Well, I reckon you'd better gel d
rough your breakfast right smart, for ?
n goin' to give you a good tbrasbin'." v
"Well," returned Havens, "I don't f
member to have seen you before, and H
I've ever crossed your track, it was t
cause you were up to some mischief e
at called for discipliue." t
"Hey? You pushed me over a high |
nk, an' I got my face'scratched up. t
/e hen lookin' for you some time, j
i' now I'm goin' to lam you !"
"Very well; come with me down in J
e hollow," said Havens, "aud il j
tu're determined to tbrasb me, I'll s
ve you a chance. But let us get well 8
my from this cabin, where these 9

The preacher started out with the j
ffian down toward the woods* They i
?nt part of the way in sifence, the i
ffiau now and theu glancing-at the ^
eacher, aud seeing no sign either of t
ar or bravado in him. Presently the
an said :
"Bee here, Havens, you u oeuer gu
i back. I'm a hard fighter, and I'll
irt you bad."
"Ob, no," said the preacher; "if you
ant to fight, you'd belter not atop ou
y account."
They weut ou, and reached the suasion
of the hollow. When they got
ere, the ruffian said :
"Let's turn round, elder. I tell you,
m a pretty meaD man !"
"Well, let's sit down here a minute."
avens led the way to a log, and both
t down on it. Then, with a little
lk, the preacher drew from the fellow
confession of the wild life he had
i, aud spoke comforting words to <
m. In a little while both men were {
i their knees, with faces bowed upon >
e log, and the woods resounded with !
ayer such as few but this pioneei t
:horter could offer. j
The old people back at the cabin <
:ard it, and knew what turn the '
ight" bad taken. They came down '
id joined the "meeting," and before ]
ng the fighter was one of Havens's
-omising converts. 1

The propositions we make herein are ?
o all responsible individuals, in each and t
ivery locality. There is no monopoly in
he matter. Because an individual re- g
urned the name of a certain subscriber x
ast year is no reason why why he should i
lave any claim upon that subscriber this I
rear. Because one individual may aleady
be at work in a given neighbortood,
is no reason why another should y
iot also canvass in that neighborhood. ?j

icribars whenever and wherever he or c
ibe may be able to get them, and upon ?
lompliance with the conditions herein
