This morning Mr. and Mr. Kitchen went to Hamilton to attend to some business matter, leaving the house in charge of the girl Roberts. Some hired men were working in the fields some distance awav from the house, but the girl wa. the only person at home. When Mr. Kitchen and his wife had Ix-en some time gone, and the irirl was eniraifinLf; in atteudini; to some luti"3 up stairs, she thought she heard a iiois.- in a room below , and, coming to the top of the stairway and looking down she ercei eil a strange, ill looking man of the genus I rump, en i-av'ed in rail-sack ini; a bureau drawer in the sitting-room. The girl knew that there was a large amount ol mon ey stowed awav in a tin !... which tiox was concealed in this bureau. lUsides the monev. there wa.s also a lot of jewelry, belonging to the family in the same place.

For a moment he was almost dumb-founded, but he tin- all v recovered himself, ami lie-fan to trv and re lcae himself from the girl's hold but this he was unable to do. al though he dragged the game and plucky maiden th. ough a hall-way in to ihe dining-room. she still held on to him. clinging so closely that he wa. unable to strike her and push her a. he would to relea.se lum.-elt. V Uh re inarkable cool mas and pre-scuce of mind, w hen this strange imir had resw heil the diniug-rooiii. the girl re meiiibertxl that there w as a revolver on the top of the clock. For a moment she let go her hold uhii the trump, and get ting upon a chair she succeeded in milling the weapon, and commenced blading away without ceremony. The tir-t snot caught the robber inihehaud and he dropjn'd the treasure that he still held. He then commenced to beat a retreat, the girl still tiring at him. Fin ally he got into the yard, scaled the garden tence, ami got away, from tlie . i in i ii if room to the fence where he limed into the road, he left bloody mark-, show mg that he was pretty badly wounded. Carrie, after the de parture of the villian. did not swoon, out gathered up the money and jewel ry, an.l llieu going into tin- yard rang tlie dinner lell. l'rcseutly the farm lalorers came in. and learning how allair st hkI, thev started in pursuit of the thief.

He got up and took the child fironi the bed and stabbed her in the side with a butcher knife, causing her death. His wife said it was all right and that Abraham would raise her ur next Sunday. Freeman says the child gave one scream and died a minute af terwards. It is stated that the second adventists held a meeting at Freeman's House the same afternoon and appeared to wish the affair kept quiet. Freeman carried the mail and showed no signs of insan ity, the cause of the terrible deed ap pears to be religious excitement alone. Freeman1 is now at his residence in charge of officer Redding and Dr. C. J. Wood of Pocassett. He informed a re porter that he was told by God to offer Edith his youngest daughter as a sacri fice to him and that he did so as God would not stay his hand.

And many have trailed that hallowed dress Thro' pools of mire and filthiness: And some in cowardly dismay, Drop prone and groveling by the way, And others grope in dark disgrace, The hunted outlaws of the race. Some wear the garb without a stain That marks the Brotherhood of Pain ; I recognize the mien erect, The patient grace of heaven's elect, The tongues of flame that crown each brow. And very reverently I bow.

Foster in Leslie' s Sttmlny Mijtzine. Loyal to the Master. Dr. Deems' sermon on "Jesus, Our Martyr King,'" in Frank Leslie's Sun day Magazine for May, contains the following beautiful passage: " But see. He comes. lp from trom tho loneli ness of Judea, out from a Jewish peas ant girl's arms, out ol a mechanic's shop, there comes a man statelier than the most monarchic ruler, solemn as eternity, clear as the mid-day, deep as the heavens, purer than infancy, sweet er than womanhood, older than Adam, more solitary than Noah, grander than Moses, wiser than Solomon, more splen did than Alexander, broader than Plato, acuter than Socrates, more imperial than Julius, greater than Charlemagne, more glorious than Napoleon. He is very truth. He knows all that is in man and all that is in God, because he is God and is man. His wisdom will never be at fault. His goodness is un failing, His power is unconquerable. He is each man's most devoted friend. By Him all other kings reign, and He shall re'tr lien all earihlv miUt and dominion aja power ahall bo in the dust. Let us crown Him ! Bring forth the royal diadem ! Bring crowns and coronets, and garlands and wreaths ! Pour out the anointing oil on that lofty head of strength and beauty. He has been grandest martyr to all grandest truths. He must be king, emperor, whatsoever designates supremacy. The order of the universe, the demands of truth, the exigencies of humanity re quire it. Henceforth can no man tear that crown away. It adheres to Jesus. He shall wear it forever. Forever can He appeal to the fact that " to this end He had been born, and for this cause had He come into the world, that He should bear witness to the truth." And that martyrdom is so splendid that there is no point of space so remote from His earthly history that it shall not be made brilliant by the glory of the sac rifice of our martyr king."- Let us re member, for the practical guidance of our lives, that men's tests of loyalty are nothing or worse than nothing. There is only one to whom we must be loyal, and in any act, or fact, or word or thought, a plan or purpose of li'e, faith lessness to Jesus is the highest treason in the universe."

The new scheme for temperance re form receives both praise and condem nation from the religious press. The papers yvhich praise it look on it as something worth trying, principally because most of the other plans have not been attended with complete suc cess. Some of them are struck with it as a complete novelty ; others say there is not religion enough in it, and con demn it en that account. One of the leading papers condemn it as next door to blasphemous because it does not ask the man who takes its pledges to do so in the name of God. The society fur nishes three separate forms of pledges ; First, a total abstinence pledire. tor term not to exceed one year, renewable at expiration if desired ; second, a mod eration trial not to drink intoxicating beverages during business hours for a specified term; third, not to partake of intoxicating liquors at the expense of any person whomsoever, nor to invite another to partake, during a specified term. One pleasant feature of the new work is that, already there is a widespread demand for the formation of auxiliary societies in various lead ing cities. Another is that a great many business men have signed one or other of the pledges. What the alliollra Be I lew. Baltimore American. Father Fidelis, of the Passionit Fathers, preached upon "The 'at lnIj.. Church," and in the course of his re marKs, drawing a comparison pctween Protestantism and Catholicism, he said: "Protestantism is a failure. It has no power by which it can control, or hope to control the world. Faith in I'roiest antism is decaying. It is like a dicker ing lamp going out. One studying it can see why Protestantism must fall, because it appeals to the mind of iiian. with no authority whatsoever. The dogma of that Church cuts tlie root ni' all dogmas. The history of Protestant ism is the tho shifting and wanderings ofthe human mind from truth. In oth er words, it leads to rationalism, or making human intellect a guide to itself. The Protestant still thinks the Bible the basis and foundation of the Church, but this ho tinds has no foun dation. It is a book to which each man can go and search out his own belief, and find out anything he wishes. A man can get out of the Bible any doc trine he chooses ; that is plain. The supposition that the BifTle is -inspired is a supernatural assumption. Moses being inspired is like the Indoo belief, that the world rested on the back of an elephant, and the elephant on a tortoise, and Him. on noililug. one mum be lieve that the Bible must rest on author ity. The Catholics believe that it rests on the Church, the same as the Trinity and Immaculate Conception. Here w e find our Protestant friend cut off from his moorings and at sea. It is a fright ful moment, and he says there is no God. Some regret, others are glad ; for in striking out heaven it strikes out hell. Many go off into infidelity. Yes, little by little he sees the reports of tho Protestant doctrine to be a lie, cahiinnv and entirely false. He begins to set-that-a Church must have two sides, like the Catholic divine and human. He thinks over the putting of Mary in the , place of God. He thinks of God's words to Jesus; of Christ's words to John. He remembers, first, our Lord was not human, but divine. Was not Mary His mother ? Was not He a di vine person t Was not she the mother of God ? Ah, sweet mother ! Mother, called so for the first time, how sweet it sounds ! Jesus Christ fully commis sioned St. Peter with sufficient author ity. He was the rock. The head of the Church was one indivisible body. In this church there must be nothing but truth. The man is not converted, but convinced; morally, not metaphysical ly. It is logic, not faith. It is sufficient upon which he can form an act. He has gone through the preamble of faith. What has he to do when he gets faith T To throw himself into God's arms and into God's Church.

Returning quickly to her family she would put up all the porridge in order that she and her puppies might togeth er enjoy a hearty meal. When the ter rier was scolded for a fault it rushed away to a little distance, and catching up anything it could get hold of at once a bit of stick, a straw, a slipper, or anything at hand it would come cow eringly and lay it down at our feet, with an expression of utter submission.

Religion is not a far away hypothesis, but a sturdy, electric, magnificent, glorifying faith. Left to our own un aided reason we inevitably grope in the dark. There is no man who treads this footstool so poor, as he closes tho Bible, shuts it with a clasp anil there after trusts his own unaided reason; but the man who prays as if heaven were close at hand has a conscious fow er to bear anything and everything.
