His little red features were covered with dirt, And his little brown'legs were scratched; There were awful rents in his little gray shirt, And his little blue pants were patched. From one little toe the nail had been torn, And one little heel was sore ; A chilil apparently more forlorn I had never beheld before. A length he stood on the.. topmost rail And reached for that drooping limb. And catching a slender branch, he pulled It slowly down to him. lie pulled it hand over hand, until He could reach the verdant fruit; I shuddered to think of the fate in store For that innocent little coot. He sat on the rail and he ate and ate; The apples were small and green; A clearer case of defying Fate No mortal has ever seen! I sighed for him and almost wept When I thought of the grief in store For his tired mother at home, alas! He pulled off a couple more! Then he slowly slid from the fence and left. I said to myself "Good-bye! Three days from now, my little man, In the graveyard you must lie, "Out there on the hill, where the gleam ing stones In many a slanting row Remind us that we've got to pay One debt that all men owe!

On the afternoon of the third I sat on the cliff's edge, watch ing the mists rise from the roar ing river bottom, a phenomenon which always accompanies the closing day. Suddenly there was a great shuffling of sandals - about the compound and I knew that with her new born babe in her something extraordinary was arjns. This calamity the bereav- takins nlace. I turned auicklv: i n i -i. home made clay gods before which in a dark corner of the Dak, he burned a vast deal of ill smelling incense, the second year of saiig's married life had hardly begun when his beautiful wife was bitten by a yellow viper while gathering healing herbs down in the valley. When they found tho poor creature she was dying those two coldly bright and glow ing points of light like a madman Suddenly I saw the little figure waver on the dead branches over the mouth of the pit, and then, with the weak little cry poor Iali had lost her foothold and slipped slowly through the yielding boughs into tho cave .beneath. .For a mo ment all was silen t. Then I heard her childish prattle. The soft sand ed husband regarded as a direct visitation of the clay gods in the comer: only the day before he had robbed a Kling hunter of his rifle leaving the poor fellow to make his way unarmed down to the sea, where he ran upon a pair of half starved kukangs, a vicious species of of Malay chimpanzee in fleeing from which he fell over a cliff and was dashed to pieces. And Punda-Tsang always felt that the yellow viper wae sent direct from the land of the judging gods to avenge the blood ot the poor Kling hunter. But there was one thing that mit igated the harshness of this vengeance the presence of the little child, whom he ten derly cherished, and whom he had called Iali, which is to say "for given."

The following bit of . information concerning our . postal expendi tures is taken, from the New York Commercial Advertiser : 'At the first glance . it seems strange, that the postal service of the. United States should cost $9,- 000,000 a year above receipts, while that of Great Britain yields a profit of over $14,000,000, that of France nearly $10,000, that of Germany $6,00,000, and that of Russia $8, 000,000 and that of even India and Japan, $1,500,000. About the only other nations whose postal service does not pay expenses are Canada, Norway, Siam, Chili, Peru, Bul garia and Bolivia. But light is thrown on our postal deficiency by the fact that the United States has times the length ot ..postal for the accommodatiou of the peO' pie. The rates at the hotels and boarding houses will be $1.00 per day. Every one is looking forward Rev. Benjamin Black, a member of this conference, now located near Littleton, and Miss.irdie Black.
