The old pilgrim was poor and ill-clad, and partly deaf, lint he tnisled in the Lord, who ho served, and rejoiced in His: kind providence. On the way to the meeting lie fell in with another Christian brother, a younger mail, hound on the same errand, and they travel ed on together. When they had nearly reach ed the place of meeting, it was proposed that they should turn aside behind the hedge and have a little prayer before they entered the meeting. They did so, and the old man, who had learned ''in everything to let his requests he made known unto dud," presented his case in language like the following: 'l.ni'd, ye ken weel enough thai. I'm deaf.und I want a seat on the first bench, if you can let me have it, so that I can hear Thy Word. And ye see that my toes are sticking thru my shoes and I don't think it is much to your credit to have your children's toes sticking through their shoes, und there fore I want ye to get nie a pair of new ones. And ye ken I have nne silver, and I want to stay there during the meeting, and therefore 1 want you to got me a place to stay." When the old man had finish ed his (piaint petition, and they had started on, his younger brother gently suggested to him that he thought his pray er wiis rather free in its forms of expression, and hardly as reverential as seemed proper to him in approaching the Su preme Being. Hut the old man did not accept the imputation of irreverence. "lie's my Father," said he, "I'm weel acquainted with Him, and He's weel acquinted with me, and I take great lib erties with Hini." So they went on to the meet ing together. The old man stood for a while in the rear of the congregation, making an ear trumpet of his hands to catch words, until someone near the pulpit noticed him, and, beckoning forward, gave him a good seat upon tho front bench. During the prayer he knelt down; and after he arose, a lady who had noticed his shoes, said to him: Are they the best you have? "Yes"' said he, "but I expect my Father will give me a new pair very soon." "Come with me after the meeting," said the lady, "and I will get you a new pair." The service (dosed, and he went with her to her house, "Shall you stay during the meeting?" said the good woman as they went along. "1 would, but I am a strang er in the place, and have nao siller." "Well," she said, "you will be perfectly welcome to make your home at our house during the meeting." The old man thanked the Lord that lie hail given him all the three things he had asked for. The younger brother's rever ence for the Lord was right and proper, but there is a rev erence which reaches higher than the forms and conventionalitiesSelected. r y-ff war mi a n 1 VN" k MAKES ME BAKSIO EASY j S T7i A.

We crown our departed with laurels, And whisper with quivering breath How nobly they stood in the conflict, How faithful they were unto death. But if we had come, in the heat of the strife, With a cup of cold water, in might have been life. They have gone 10 the face of the Master What matters our praise or our blame? He keeps in the book of His kingdom The work that is done in His name. But we missed the chance that He sent us to make A rugged way smoother for 1 lis dear sake. We meant, in the hush of the evening, At the close of some peaceful day, To tell them how precious we held them, But now they have slipped away. And the heart may have longed with a secret ache For the one word of courage that nobody spake. IF we only had said in the morning, "Because you are steadfast and true, The world has a lohier vision, My life is the richer for you," It might be- it may be the wearisome day Would have brigliicnecl and glowed with a heavenly ray. Beloved, ihe years that have vanished Can never again come back. And the treasures we miss as we journey, The heart 'orever must lack. Let us do the errands of kindness today, "For never again shall we travel this way." Let us bring to the living the roses And the lilies we bind for the dead, And crown them with blessings and praises Before the brave spirit has tied. As springs in the desert, as shade from the heat, To the soul of the toiler the words will be sweet. DON'T IT SEEM TRUE. Don't it seem irue now, don't it seem true, Oft when the trials bring their dark clouds 10 you, Oft when we're weariest, saddest and lost In the deep, dark despair and our fortunes are crosi, Something just happens, so mystic and calm, To heal like a rose with the sweet of its balm ! Don't it seem true, though, to you and to me, That something comes by with the bloom of the glee To lift the dark shadow and roll far away The cloud that kept drakling the sunshine of day; Something just happens just at the right time To bring back the laughter, the ring and (he rhyme ! Don't it seem irue, always true at the best, That dark as the hour may with grief be oppresi, I larder our fate seems and fortune so far The bleak night is lit by the gleam of a star, And soon the whole sky swims in glory and tune Of the far Hooding light of the silver-sweet moon ! LUCK. Braggs Bah! Luck is but ihe product of care and diligence. Waggs Yes. An old friend of mine had a swamp which he could not get rid of, and, by a great deal of care and diligence, a railroad was run right through the middle of it, and now my friend is a rich man.

MODERN MRTHOI). SPIRITUAL COURIERS. General Gordon's Lust Words ; "Send Couriers; Those May Be Killed.'' EULOGY ON WOMAN. Ingersoll's Verbal Might When He Got on Subject of l-'air Sex. When the news of the passing ' of General George W. Gordon of Memphis was wired to the coun try there were many sincere mourners. None who have ever heard ; General Gordon's 'silver oratory will forget his fervid pleas for a united country. He was a gallant Confederate officer, the idol of his soldiers. But when the war was over his was one of the first of all the voices eloquent For the Union. He was a great friend of Grant and Sherman and of many of those against whom he fought in the time that tried men's souls. Gordon's last words were these: "Send other couriers; those may be killed." In his last moments the Gener al's mind went back to the days of carnage, when the thunder clouds of black war burst over the head of the nation, and in spirit he com panioned again with Lee and John ston and the comrades of former days. Therefore his order to "send other couriers." He had learned in ihe grim the atre of war that oftentimes couriers were cut oft' by the enemy and the messages lost. Mere murmurings of a dying man? What do you or I know about the telepathy between minds here and now? Much less wtiat do we know about the means of commu nication between kindred spirits here and yonder? Is it only fancy that the spirit of i Gordon, crossing the Potomac of j Death, should be sending couriers i forward to headquarters to appraise j his old comrades of his near ap-1 proach ? j Who will say that on ''fame's j eternal camping ground" the cou- j riers did not report ? It is not strange that on the eve i of his departure a strong soul should feel the powerful impulse j to send sure couriers in advance. And so, my friends- j When the time of your departure ' and mine is come, when we shal' j have said gooilby to those on this I j banK ol the river, what more na ; lural than that we should seek to ! send quick couriers to those "we have loved and lost awhile" to tell : them of our approach? BACK TO NATURE. In a symposium on Wemati Col. R. G. Ingersoll was to con tribute his views. He replied as follows : "It takes a hundred men to make an encampment, but one woman can make a home. I not only ad mire a woman as the most beauti ful object ever created, but I rever ence her as the redeemed glory of humanity, the sanctuary of all vir tues, the pledges of all perfect qual ities of heart and head. It is be cause women are so much better than men that their faults are con sidered greater. The one thing in this world that is constant, the only peak that rises above the clouds, the one window in which the light burns forever, the one star that darkness cannot quench is wo man's love. It rises to the great est heights, it sinks to the lowest depths, it forgives the most inju ries. A woman's love is the per fume of the earth. This is the real love that subdues the earth; the love that has wrought all rniri cles of art; that gives us music all the way from the cradle song to the grand closing symphony that bears away the soul on wings of fire. A love that is greater than power, sweeter than life and stronger than death." "The Only Thing That Will Relieve Neuralgia." The piercing pains of Neuralgia, which often follows a bad cold or La Grippe, are frequently almost un bearable and few medicines afford any relief to the sufferer. 'I am a rural mail carrier and have been a user of the Dr. Miles medicines for years. Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills can't be beaten. They are the only thing I have found that will relieve my neuralgia and I have tried most everything, besides medicine from the doctor. I am willing to tell anyone what the Anti-Pain Pills did for me." Charles Hilderbrandt, Box 205 Woodvill.

And the rose said: "1 am the flower of Hod, for 1 um the fairest anil most perfect in beauty and variety of form and delicacy of f'rnirrance of all the flowers." And the crocus said : "No, you arc nol the (lower of (bid. Why, 1 was blooming lonir before you bloomed! 1 am the primitive llower; I am the first one." And the lily of the valley said modoslly: "I ani small, but I am, perhaps, I am the (lower of ( lod." And the trailing arbutus said : "Be fore any of you caine forth, 1 was lilt x in I in l;' under the leaves and under the snow, aid I not the (lower of ( but?" And all the flowers cried out: ''.No; you you are no flower at all, You are a conic-outer. " And then God's wind, blowing on the irardeii, brought this message tolthem: ''Little flowers, do you nol know that every flower that answers God's spring call, cornea out of the cold, dark earth, and lifts its head above the sod and blossoms forth, catching the sunlight from God and flinging it back to men, taking the sweet south wind from God and giving it back to others in sweet and blessed fragrance do you not know ! that you are all God's flowers?" l.vinau Abbott.
