an electric bolt struck the Wood-pile, scat

When he entered the house his wife was
so horrilicd at the ligure of an enraged

The opera house was crowded, for tho
famous minstrels wero giving a benefit
performance. They had just concluded
tho sweet refraiu oFthe "rfuwaneo Hivcr.'
The tumult uF applause was hushed by the
appearance oF a ragged old wreck crowd
ing to the Front. Lifting his banjo as a
sign of brotherhood, he cried with chok
ing voice:
' Hoys sing that song oneo more, onco
more for a poor old minstrel's sake It
brings back the lost and dead, uiy old
home rises before me. where I was oucc
ginid and happy all the day. I learned
the song there of my mother. The vision
of her smiling face, praising her boy,
comes back with the linging notes of the
banjo, and the memories of long ago. I
wandered away to play and ting for the
world. Il listened and applauded. I was
flattered, feasted, intoxicated with fame
aud the whirl of pleasures. Hut I wreck
ed it all. Now, old and broken in heart
and streugth, I am left with butoue Friend
my banjo. No one listens to it, for the
world has found uew favorites, aud the
old minstrel is turned away. She who

world. The world has forsaken him as he
did her. Hoys, sing my mother's song
again, uud let my old heart thrill with a
better life once mote."
The house sigualcd its assent. The old
minstrel sat down iu the front row. When
the solo reuched the concluding lines of the
second btati.a, the singer's eye's turned
pityingly upon the wanderer, and with
voice trembling with emotion came the
words:
"All up mill ilnu ii tai. win), I (vmnK'ri'il,
When 1 ws yiolliKi
nli, tinuir Were Uie iliiys I stiioi(lerc,l,
Mm:y were llu hhuch i suiitf."
The stranger sat bendiug Forward, the
tears coursing dowu the Furrows uf care,
his fiugers unconsciously caressing the
stiingsof his battered banjo. All the
s immer of his life came back to his heart
aguiu. Mother, home, love, aud all his
boyhood dreams. The churns began, and
the shriveled lingers sought the chords
with a strange, weird harmony unheard
before, the strains floated along the tide of
song. The time-worn instrument seemed
to catch its master's spirit, mid high above
the orchestra accompaniment rang the soul
like cords from its quivering strings.
When the interlude caine the minstrel
1 allied over the banjo with all the fond
ness of a mother over her babe. Not a
sound From cither was heard. The solo
rose again, and tlie almost supernatural
harmonies drifted with it. Hut ho bowed
like a mourner over the dead. Every
heart iu the audience was touched, mid
tears of sympathy were blushed away by
maiiy a jeweled hand. The singers' eyes
were moist, aud with plainful sadness the
last lines were suug:
"When sliHll I lieur tliu IhH'S tt llllluiulliK
All 'riainil (lie eniuli.'
When shall i hear the hiuijo truuilnlnn
1'uwii In my Kotsluhi hutiu-r'
The last chorus followed. The hoary
head of the minstrel was lifted, and his
face shone with the light of a new dawn
ing. Ilis voice joined with a beculiar
blending, perfect in harmony, yet keeping
with bis banjo high above the singeis,
ringing like a rich harp siring long over
strained. The memory of better days,
the waywardness, sorrow, remorse, hope
and despair of all his wasted life seemed
pent up iu those marvelous tones. The
chorus closed, and his head sank down, the
long while locks shrouding the hanju.
The manager came before the curtain,
and said:
'The minstrels give one-half the bcuelit
proceeds tu the wandering brother.''
The Ionise approved witli loud demon
stration. A Ci'llectiou starti d in the gal

toward
which all cy were turned. They called
hira to the stage, and the manager went
to escort him there. He laid his hand
on the bowed head; the soul of the old
minstrel had wandered away once more.
Ho was dead. His heart had sung that
last song on the borders ot the spirit land.
Sung it as the bird sings when it escapes
the prison bars which makes life "sad and
dreary." aud flies far away from the
scenes where "thj heart never grows weary
with longing."
Yes, on the precious tides of that ten
dcrest uud sweetest of ul) heart songs
and who!C notes of endearment awoke re

the spirit of the old minstn 1 revisited the
hallowed scenes ol happy ehildh. o 1, heard

A CHILD'S TEARS.

M. Ul All.
Once when a child was ill nolo death
its mother kneeled and prayed to Heaven
that its life might be spared. As she
played snd wept an angel softly took iis
place beside her and whispered .'
"Heaven has sent mo in answer to your
prayer. Here is (he mirror ofliFcj watch
well aud tell me what you see."
And then as the mother wiped away
her tears and held the mirror before lur
the angel asked;
"What is in tho picture ?"
"It is that of a fair-faced boy of teu."
"Are there tears in his eyes:1"
"There arc no tears."
"Then the angels of Heaven are weep
ing for him. Look again uud tell me
what you see."
"This lime it is a youth of 15. It is
the same boy as before, but older grown,
and the face is not so gentle."
"Are there tears in his eyes?"
"There are no tears."
"Then there is sadness among the angels
in Heaven. When human eyes are dry
of tears llu heart is full of evil."
Then the mother looked again, and
when the angel asked her what she saw
she answ, red:
"One ji.st citn'n; to nun's estate
It is the same face as before, but it is iu
the darkness, and I ace linca of evil."
"Look closer and tell me if you see
tears."
"There arc no tears."
"Then Micro are griefs in Heaven, and

weeps has gone far wrong. Look again
and tell me what you see."
"This time it is a man in convict's

"Are there no tears in his eyes?"
"There are uo tears."
"Then the angels oF Heaven weep

"This time it is one lying dead in the

"Are there tears upon the luce of the

"There are no tears."
"Then, alas! il is another soul con

HOW TO ENJOY LIFE.
ClmrliitU' Chronicle
An uukuuwu contemporary gives us
the following outlines aud philosophical
sentiments on "how to enjoy life," and if
we read up carefully and practice it the
beneficial results eunuot be mistaken or its
wisdom go unimproved. Ill the first place
much depends in this life on how we take
things. There are some fieople who are
always grumbling, always complaining.
Nothing suits them. Everything goes
wrong. If the weather is clear, it is rath
er too warm or too cold. There is snow
wheu there should be raiu, and raiu wheu
there should be fair skies. Matters in a
business and social way arc never all right.
The neighbors are perpetually wrong. The
world itself revolves in an opposite direc
tion. Such people are horn fussing.
They grow up fussing and they fuss
on until they fuss themselves into early
graves.
It dues seem sometimes as if this class
of people is always increasing, l'crhaps it
is due to (he sharp couqicliliou and rapid
motion and steady slruiu of nineteenth cen
tury civilaition. l'crhaps it is due to
the individual rivalry of our day. Hut
whatever the reason may be ihe fact is a
mi-lake.
The way lo enjoy life is to infuse into
it all the conti ulmeiit we ran. We should
look t the changes of the wculher phis
losophieally. Wo should be mutually
tolerant of one anolher, mid do unto oth
ers us we would have others to do uutu us.
We should uot reach uut ufur (he eurth
when we know that ihe catlh is big
enough for several billions of people just us
deserving as ourselves.
A good conscience, u pure heart uud a
contented mind these form the subject
of a lung aud happy life.

A STARTLING PREDICTION.
Citil-illlisti I'oliKUvr, Ul lin.-lt...
Two hundred years ago iu China there
was just such a craM about natural gas
as we have in this country today. (las
wells were sunk with as much vim ami
vigor as the celestials Were capable of. but
owing lo a gas explosion that killed sever
al millions of people and tore up mid de
stroy nl a large district of the country,
leaving a large inland sea, known on maps
as Lake Foo Chang, the boring of any
more gas wells was then aud there pro-
hunted by law. It seems, according to
the Chinese history, that many large uud
ivy pressure gas wells were struck, uud
in some districts wells were sunk quite near
each oilier, (las was lighted as soon as
stiuck. as is done in this country. It is
stated that one well with its unusual pros-
urc, by induction or back draught, pulled
diwu into the earth the burning gas of a
smaller well, resultint; in a iJreadlul ex
plosion of a large district, destroying the
inhabitants thereof. I.ak.i Fno Chang
rests on this district. Tlu same catastro
phe is imminent iu this country unless the
laws restrict further developments iu bor
ing so unny wells Should a similar ex
plosiou occur there will be such au up
heaval as will dwarf the most terrible
earthquake ever linown. The country
along the gas belt from Toledo through
Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky will be ripped
up to the depth of 1,2(111 to 1,500 feet
and flopiK'd over like a pancake leaving a
chasm through which the waters of Lake
Erie will come howling down, filling the
Ohio and Mississippi valleys and blotting
I hem out forever.
LOVELY WOMAN.
I'eek'a Smi.
Women, bless their dear hearts, if it
was not for them men would soon degen
erate and become savage, as of old; but
gentle, contnling, lovalile woman, Willi her
soft, winning ways, appeals tu all that
fine and noble in uiau's nature, and keeps
him up lo (hat level that he has succeeded
ill reaching. Even in battle, wheu he
thinks as little of spilling the blood of his
fellow mail as he would of killing a dog,
when his animal passions arc wrought up
ti such a degree that he resembles more
the untutored savage than an intelligent
being, .the sight of a woman, oi the sound
of her voice, will act upon him like magic.
He no longer has (hat thirst for blood,
his hard face relaxes and becomes again
soft and tender, and his Tu i ml turns to
thoughts uf better things. Now, if woman
should suddenly be removed from nurearlh,
and man. the alleged uublcst work of f!od,
should ht left to paddle his own canoe,
how long would it be ere he would go
about armed to the teeth with an I-cati-lick
my-woight-iii wildcats expression on
his Face. Murder and rapine would soon
be in lull sway, and he could hold his
head up only so long as he could wield his
sword, or pull a trigger. Man is suFc as
long as he has the love oF woman, or the
chance to win it.
CIRLS, BE CAUTIOUS.
(lirls, beware oF the transient young
uieu. Never suffer the address uf a
stranger. Hecollcct, one good, steady far
mer's boy or industrious tucchaiiic is worth
more than all the flouting trash in ihe
woild. The alluremeutu of a dandy Jack,
with a golden chain about his neck, a wal
nut stick in his paws, and a braiules though
fancy skull, can never make up the loss of
a kind father's homo, a mother's counsel
and the society of brothers and sisters.
Thc'u affections last, while that of such
a man is lost in the wane, of the houey
nioou. (Jills, bewaie! take heed lest ye
tall into the 'snare of the fowler.' Too
many have already been takeu from a kiud
father's home and a good mother's couu
sel, brought to shame and disgrace and
then throwu upou their own resources'
to spend their few lciuaiiiiug days in grief
and sorrow, while (he brainless skull is
making its circuit around the world Wing
ing tu its ignoble will all that may be al
lured by his deceitful snares, und many a
fair one to the shame of un artful villain.
