"Why, man," said one, "you are condemmed to die. and in a few weeks you will be launched into: eternity^ how can jrou stand before God with all your unforgiveu eins on your souir' "Thatrs my business, and not yours: I wish no further conversation with you," was his answer, as he waved h?s hand impatiently for tbem to de p?rC ' . A report of the interview was pub lished in the papers next day. Among those who read the.; account .was a timidi delicate C??ristiao^vAmaii.; rThe tears dropped upon the -paper as she. read, and great desire i came into. her heart to tell the poor condemned man that she was ?ornrJot Tiim.7 But she 8a?(?^lreckHig JieraeJf,;:"I can't doit. *Iiwas never fii|a Jail in my; life, and f wouldn't kno^w%af^ "say: And then I would be swe to cry.

Human sympathy and tears had broken his heart, and he was led like a little child to Christ. "Go forth eve?h weeping, hearing precious seed, and doubtless yo u shall j wm\ again with rejoicing bringing your sheaves with you." If we have nothing else to give for Christ, let us give for Him our tears. He Told His Mother. _-A ladin one of the West Side public 1 schools .wcs found guilty of a serious in fraction of discipline, and was directed by his teacher to tell his mother when be got home what misdemeanor be had committed. The next morning the school marni called Johnny to her desk, when the fol ??Tsinc dialogue ensued: 'Well, Master Johnnie did you iu form your mother what infraction of. discip line you were" guilty of yesterday, and the reprimand and punishment you re ceived *\es'iti/.was the sententious reply. Well, and what did your mother say?' She said she'd like to wring your neck for you.' I .No more discipline reports were sent home to" that mother. ?-Chicago Sun.
