A brilliant speaker was once addressing
a religious meeting in which there was n
young man for whose conversion many
had long prayed. The speaker was very

was strangely stirred.

afterward.
"No; it was not," he replied.

"Mrs. Cram?"

Mankind must have recreation of
some kind. All the house took part
in the games mid amusements of
liliy years ago. There were no
members of the early settlements of the
West who were too elevated to
attend the social pirl its held ill the set

the young folks in the evening. The

The dignified maiden aunt would now

"Snapping up" was the snapping of the
