A MOTHER S PRAYER ANSWERED.
(iuj Miiws In A Mjstainus Way Hi
WoiiicrsTii IVInrni.
Trained reliijusly, 1 had readied a
ynuiiH man's years before inakiiii: public
profession of relii.in. 1'rior to my cou- i
version, thoughts of the ministry Hume j
limes flashed acros my mind; hut it was
only a flash. After my conversion, I was
earnest for the welfare uf others, and
wanted to promote the interests uf the
church and humanity. The conviction
j;rew npun mo that 1 mu.st preach; yet I
tried to put that away because I feared I
cuu4 not succeed. L saw the greatness
of tho work, and the reproachful poverty j
then cunncctcd with the itinerant iiiiuii-'
try. There were two difficulties iu the
way. First, I had no ift uf speech. My
voice was poor, and in schoul I always
shunned declamation. I firmly believed
I could never make a speaker, aud so
chose the prnfession of medicine, which
I studied three years in a prultsional
school.
I think I should have resolutely re
jected the idea of the ministry, except
that it seemed inscparately connected with
my salvation. I fasted, I prayed for
Pivine direction; but I found no rest
until, reading in the Bible one day, I
found a passage which seemed especially
written for me: "Trust in the Lord with
all thine heart; lean not to thine, under-standiii-r;
in all thy ways acknowledge
Him, aud He shall direct thy paths." I
accepted it, and resolved to do whatever
God in his providence should indicate
by opening ihe way. I never lisped to a
friend the slightest intimation of my
inenul agony, but I took a more earnest
perl in tho church services.
One Sabbath I felt a strong impression
that I ought to apeak to the people at
night in prayer-meeting, as we had no
preaching. I said to my sell": "How
shall I'.' for my friends will say I am
fuuli-h, as they know I cannot peak
with interest." Ivpecially I dieaded an
old uncle, who had been a lather to me,
and superintended my education. While
I was di-cussin; this mailer with liiysell
in the afternoon, my uncle came in the
rioru, and, after a moineul's hesitation,
siid to nil-; "Pou t you think you could
speak tn the people to ntghtf I was
surprised ami startled, tasked him il
ho thought 1 ought, lie said: "Yes;
I think yuucan do gond,"
That night, for some strange reason,
the house was crowded, and I made my
first religi. us address to a public con-
greiiati.iii. It was n.t written. Ii was
not very well premeditated. It was sim
ply an outgu.-hing id' a t-iucArtf honest
heart.
My mother was a widow. I was I''"'
youngest son, the only chilel remaining
at home. 1 feared il would break her
heart to leave h r aud feared it would be
impossible to do no. Una day after
great embarrassment, 1 was induced to
speak to my mother uu the subject of
my mental strui'LiIcs, aud tell her what I
thought (tod reipiiivd of me. I never
shall forget how she turned to mo will) u
smile and said: "My son, I have been
looking for this ever since you wire
burn!" She then told me how she and
uiy d)ing father, who left me an infant,
consecrated me tu dod, and played that,
ifit were His will, I might become a
minister; and yet (hat mother had ueva
dropped a w. r 1 of intimation iu my t ar
that she desdred tnc Iu be n preacher.
She ! licvi d so fully in the Pivine call,
thai she would not bits my mind wiih
even a su'i;csi ion of it in prayer.
That conversation settled my mind.
Oh, what a htoiuo is a sainted inothr!
T lay 1 can feet her hands on my head,
and I hear the intoirttiou uf her voice in
prayer Bishop Simpson

The woman drew away lut rich silks

no reply was vouchsafed. "I'm sorry
you're deaf, marm. Huw long have you

man who had just come in, carrying a
baby and a ltd of bundles, and with two
small children clinging to her dress.
"Are you goin fui ?"
"Tu Boston, sir," was the pleasant re-
piy.
"Out to wait long?"
"Two hours. Oh, children, do be tptiel

"Look ahere, you young shavers, and

"Now let me take that younger,

wanted to be tu.-sed all the lime. "Vou

In his big arms the child crowed with
delight until he fell asleep.
" 'Taiu't nut bin at all, inarm," he said

and her charges un board.

"Courage on the balllcfe ld is not the
only thing that makes a soldier," said an
ex Confederate ohVcr to a coric-poudclit
'It is very easy lor a man t - be brave
when he is shoulder to shoulder wiih his
eotuudes, lriit it is dill 'rent on other uc
ca-ioti. It remind me uf an incident
(iiat came under my notice during the
late war. One day the captain id' a
company received w rd that the I 'nion
soidiers had taken po.-M s.-iou of a biir
mati.-iun, and it was thought that some of
the soldiers had beeu left behind in the
building. A lieutenant nod two plivates
were immediately detailed to make an in
vestigation. They reached the place
easily. The lower flour was examined,
but nothing appeared to be wrong further
than the removal of a few valuables. The
family had fhd at the approach of (lit;
enemy. The un n crept up the stairs
and looked over the second story It
was the same as on tlie first. In the
hall, however, there w is a lad h r lea I
ini: to a trapdoor in the garret. Tlie
door was swinging down and it was
evident that some one had climbed up to
the ecilini;. The lieutenant said that
the garret would have to be searched. He
told a private to go first,
"Tlie private refused absolutely. He
said it was certain death and that if he
was a soldier he did not expect to have
his head smashed open simply t ) look
for a I'ninn spy. lie said he would take
his punishment at the camp, but he
would not stick his head through the
trapdoor. The second private! was told
to close the swinging door, lie refused.
His reason was lhat he had a wife und
children at home, aiet ii was not bravery
to slick his head in (lie lire.
"Without a word the lieulennnt climbed
the ladder and poked his head in the
doorway. It was very dark, and he shut
his eyes, expecting every moment to
have a big ax slash out his brains. He
remained there a Inlf minute and tlun
came down, closing the door after him.
He told the privates that he would nut
report their cowardice to the captain, but
during tlie lemainder of the war those
two privates w re the bitterest enemies
the lieutenant ever had. It was human
nature, I suppose, for them to hate him,"
