GOT THE BLESSING.
A STORY OF LAFAYETTE.
BY FRANK L. STANTON.
Last Sunday there was preachin', and we all went out to hear;
The little church was crowded, for the rich and poor was there;
Ii was jes' a splendid sermon, an' the singin' full and free
Amazin grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me."
When I call the sermon splendid, I mean il was the kind
To take deep root an' bear good fruit in every sinner's mind;
Il was full of consolation for weary hearts that bleed
Twas full of invitation to Christ and not to creed.
The text was 'bout the prodigal who spent his livin' neat,
Until he came at Inst 10 want the husks the swine did eai;
But a sweet thought gave him comfort when he hardly wished to live,
"I will go unto my father for my father will forgive."
"I'm talkin' to you fellers," said the preacher, "here to-day,
Who spent the Master's livin' in a country far away;
You've got to go where that feller was you can'l tell why or how,
But come back to the Father He's wailin' for you now!"
From the amen corner to the door the people ("inhered near,
An' "pray for us!" they shouted, an' it seemed the Lord was there;
An' such a great handshaking well, the precious time is past.
But the old church in the backwoods goi the hlessm' that'll last !
PATCHED TROUSERS.
BY HON. Z. B. VANCI-.
How dear to my heart are the pants of my childhood,
When fond recollection presents them to view.
The pants thai I wore in ihe deep tangled w ild wood,
And likewise the groves where the crab apple grew;
The wide-spreading seat with its little square patches,
The pockets that bulged with my luncheon for noon,
And also with marbles and fish-worms and matches
And gumdrops and kite strings from March until June
The little patched trousers, the maJe-over trousers,
The high water trousers that fit me too soon.
No pantaloons ever performed greater service
In tilling the hearts of us youngsters with joy;
They made the descent from Adolphus to Jarvis,
Right down through a family of ten little boys,
Though no fault of mine, known to me or 10 others,
I'm the tenderest branch on our big family tree;
And having done service for nine older brothers,
They came down to me slightly bagged at the knee
The little patched trousers, the second-hand trousers,
The old family trousers that bagged at the knee.
ANECDOTE OP DR. WM. CLOSS.
"HELL WILL BE MY PORTION."
The Doctor was always ready for a bit of dry wit or repartee. If
the joke was against him, he related il afterwards with just the same
relish as if il had been in his favor.
He relates that on one occasion he walked into a barber shop in Lit
tle Washington to have his hair trimmed. He was very bald, having
only a light fringe of hair that showed out behind under ihe rim ol his
hat. He said to the barber : "I want to make a bargain with you,
As I do not charge you for preaching, you may trim my hair without
charging." "All right," said the barber, "lake a seal and lei me pn
ceed." The Doctor seated himself and removed his hai in his usual
dignified manner. Whereupon ihe barber drew back with astonish
ment and exclaimed : "Dr. Closs, if I don'i get any more preaching
than I get hair off your head, hell will be my poruon, certain." Both
preacher and barber laughed heartily, and were ever alter uds good
jolly friends.
LET US GUARD
OURSELVES.
fy UARD ourBclves we muMt in aucu u tiiiic us tlnn. Men
I ij are in. a hurry. Machinery is powered to it capacity.
Service is eiactinir. Mental strain is rent. Duty has
become double duty. We cannot be still; all are in the stir.
The voice of authority re-echoes around the world, und millions
obey the command. We look for the unusual; we are uot satis
fied with the usual. Old theories and themes we are casting
aside. We are making history and making it fust. But, with
all, let us not target to linger at the throne of grace. F.et us
guard ourselves that we may not forget the sweetness of the
sanctuary, the moments of meditation aud prayer. We must
not substitute patriotism for religion. We must guard ourselves
agaiuBt forgetting God Christian Sun.
The Frosts and Snows of Valley
Forge. i
During Lafayette's visit to
America in 1X21, he was every
where honored. Once, when
passing tlirougn a village
where the entire population
turned out, ho saw an old sol
dier iu the Continental uni
form. The veteran drew him-1
self up in the stiff fashion of)
the old-time drill and gave the j
military salute. As Lafayette
made the return signal, tears
started to his eyes. The tat
tered uniform, the ancient flint
lock, the silver-haired soldier,
even older than himself, recall
ed that dear past.
"Do you know me?" asked
the soldier.
"No, I cannot sny 1 do," was
the frank reply.
'! you remember the frosts
and snows of Valley Forge?"
'I shall never forget them,"
answered Lafayette.
'( Ine bitter night, (ieneral,
you were going the rounds at
Valley Korge. Vou came upon
a sentry in thin clothing and
without stockings. lie was
slowly freezing to death. Vou
took his gun, saying, '(Jo to
my hut. There you will find
stockings, a blanket and a tire.
After warming yourself bring
the blanket, to me. .Mean
while 1 will keep guard."
"The soldier obeyed. When
he returned to bis post, you,
(ieneral Lafayette, cut the
blanket in two. One-half you
kept; the other you presented to
the sentry. Here, (ieneral, is
one-half of that blanket, for I
um the sentry whose life you
saved." Kx.
