In its cradle lay her first child, her little daughter. The babe had been baptized, and in its ears had been placed its first earrings of red gold, their fastening a coronet. Half the nurse's time would be spent in keeping tbe in fant from tearing these torments from its ears. But the custom must be observed at any coat. The old great-grandmother who had once worn them herself, had placed them in the ears of her daughter, her daughter's daughter and now in tin wrinkled, pink rose-leaves of this small babe. Its cap, stiff with em broidery, stood high upon its head, and its robe, ornamented in tbe same way, was very beautiful. This was its state costume. It had been exhibited to its relatives and friends, had cooed and crowed and behaved itself pertectly, anp now its nurse would array it in the little quilted gown which was kept for ordinary wear, and loll it to sleep. There were to be a feast and afterward occasion The whole household was happy, aud grief and trouble seemed so far away, that it might have been ban ished from tbe world: Attired m robes of rich fabric, jewels in her hair and in her ears, about her neck xod arms and at her belt, the count 388 kissed her babe aDd descended :he stairs, her train borne over the irm of her waiting maid. As she entered the great hall, all saluted :ier, they uttered ber name, the winescups were drained to her aealtb, the health of the count, her "msbaud, and that of the newly ihristeced child Theresa. The servants gathered about the loor. Only the nurse with her white jap and apron, her voluminous silk dress, ber gay stockings and rennd toed shoes, remained alone in the Lt seemed very doll and i stupid therei What was tbe use of ... i ... wearing a silk dress with so many yaids in it and a cap of lace like that, it 'one was to te hidden away up there , . with a baby, however high x uaa leu 10 eaiu mouej ujr uwunjiuo foster mother of this tiny aristocrat. There amongst her neighbors she was no one's slave. She revolted against her bondage. "Bah 1 My little Ivan sleeps very well without being stared at," she said. "Why not this one And ieaviog the room, she stole down the stairs and gained a spot where she could look and listen like the rest. The feast was over; the dancing had bgun. Tbe chief peasants of the place, in their picturesque cos tames, were performing before the high-born ladies and gentlemen, A handsome yonng man advanc ed toward a young woman, singing or chanting an invitation to dance. She bade htm wait until she had spun her flax. The other yonng people joined in with words which, roughly interpreted, meant : "Dance now. Wh'le spinning flax, the dance is over. While spin, ning, love flies away. Dauce while you can." Then all danced, each youth with a maiden, and ended .by bowing, hand in hand, before the great folk, who gave them gold, drink to the men and sweetmeats to the women. "They have a better dance in my village," said the nurse : "the dance of the sunnAe.'' "You will have the pleasure of rointnimr trt viinp native village to eiuiuu - o seo it, Sodrina, if you leave the ba- to itself much longer," pai3 a j ;.. tin.. . i.T'm t til 1 1 1 or 1 nil e iu uci roi. j er, i ut my lnya own maia ia com ing thia way." Sodrine, frightened st tbe idea of losing her good wages, fled back to the nursery. Thus she missed the beautiful spectacle of the gathering of the great folk on the floor for their raise Oh, what music was that which the orcbestra in the Kbry uis-; discoursed ! lt sighed, it trembledt j it touched young hearts with new! thought, and awoke old memories in those of tbe tlder people. Stroug arms encircled delicate waists ; pas sionate eyes looked into tender ones. Away, away 1 Who danced more lightly or smiled more caily than the Countess Telka t Suddenly screams, shrieks ot ter ror, weeping and wailing tilled the jail-! and stairways. Into the great hall rushed the nurm', Sdnua, fol lowed by the other serv.tuts, calling on their master, repeating the word "Gone! Gone! Gonel" over and over again. Gone, vanished, carried away by evil spirits or wicked fairies! Tbe abe, the child of the bouse, the Ut ile Countess Theresa gone, gone! Tbe dance ended.tbe music stopped,! all flew to the nursery," half hoping that ad thin outcry was caused by Home superstitious fancy ot its peas ant nnrse; for no babe of ber age could leave its pillow, aud who could 'ear U away? - Alasl the cradle was really emp ty, the silken coverlet gone, tbe lin en sheets lying upon the floor, oue little sock dropped npon the window sill, beneath which ran a balcony with steps to the garden.and pinned to the pillow was a piece of paper 3u which were written these words: "It is not so long since you per' ;ecuted the gypsies that you can nave forgotten them. Yoa bade your servants drive them from your 'and and beat them; with thongs. XJugodly dogs, you said: 'I would Lhrow them to the bears if I had my way. Their religion is of lard, iud the dogs have eatn it. No Christian need regard tbm.' And aiy boy died of those blows my jon. Though the gypsies have no liod, they keep their oaths. I vow ed revenge that day ; I have taken it this. Before you read what I write I shall have thrown your babe t the bears , and they, hungry in tbe winter woods, will have devour ed it. A Gypsy Mother.'' The count uttered a cry of de spair. With all the other men with in call, he went forth to follow the gypsy woman and k his child But they found no trace of them, though in the frozen forests they beard the bears howl from their caves. Days after, a peasant gath ering faggots in the woods, found a ribbon that had tied the child's sock, floating from a dwarf evergreen near a great bear's den. The discovery crushed the last lingering hope that tilled the mother's heart that tbe gypsy mother had not, after all, found it possible to be so cruel to an innocent babe, aud that money might give her back her child. From that time tbe count and the countess no longer knew happiness, A settled melancholy rested upou them, was visible in their voices, and stamped upon their coontenanc es; and they received, besides their dearest friends, only the most form al visits of ceremony, and continu ally wore deep mourning. Time seemed to have no power to soothe their woe, aud no other children came to comfort them. In Hungary, at that date, there were many places in which the bears grew dangerous at time, and hunts, which were considered good sport, became necessary for the protection of those who lived near the forests. It was twelve years from the time of the disappearance of the count's little daughter when one of these hunts was organized. The beart, who in mild weather will live contentedly on nuts roots berries and honey, would in winter, when these could not be found, de scend npon the farms, carry away the little pigs, chickens and all small domestic animals, and, if at tacked, turn upon buinau heingt, and seizing tbeai in their lurnoug 4 i " leutia.:i , tear tbem to pieces with iheir ahaip claws. Tbis ti.sng Lad happened to a farmer who defended his stock, and now from hill and valley, lrom cot tage and castle, came forth aimed and mounted men to do battle against these usually innocent crea tures. Some in revenge, some for sport, some for the sake of the flesh which they esteemed gfod mei t. Amongst the gentlemen was the Count Erdodi. lie rode at the head of the concourse into the forest, and j i desired nother so much as to be foremost in the destruction of the bear-". The words ol tho gypsy's letter were ever in his mind "I wil throw your child to the bears.' Perhaps it might be that he should slay with his own hand the brute who had devoured his babe; the bought gave him a certain savage joy. The banters weie very suw.essful, and, after killing many benrs came at last, just at niuhtfail, upon a cave from which emerged a large and savage abe-bear, who attacked them furiously. Eler conduct convinced them that she was defending her cube under such circumstanoes.the staeugth and courage of a female bear is antontshing. However, :bey conquered her at last, slew jer, aud were about to enter the ;ave in search of the cubs, when Tom its shadows emerged a form .hat filled tbem for an instant with japerstitiou-j terror, At first they thought it some elfin hing of tbe woods, or a spirit that dwelt within the cave, but its con iuctsoon proved it a harmless hu- oau being, as with shrieks of great rod terror, moans and cries that wrung every bosom, it threw itself i -.poo the body of the bear, and lav hhed embraces, tears and kisses i con it, strove to lift its head and mainly endeavored to drag it back into the cave. It was, they now saw, a girl, slen c r and dark. Her black hair was 1 ng and wild,'her eyes glowing and learning likejewelf. When they t jucbed tbe bear she attacked tbem vith ber sails and her little white t ;etb, and uttered fierce cries ; and at last, when they endeavored to saize her, she evaded them by climbing into the branches of a tree! aad ascending swiftly as a squirrel to its upper branebes. It was very difficult to capture bi:r; but at last, she was bound aud wrapped in Gouul Erdodi's cloak, i d a stout peasant undertood to cirry her back to the village with him. "It is some child who has been lot in tbe woods,'7 he cried. "See thee are riugs iu her ears !" At these words, Count Erdodi, pde as ashes, dismounted from his horse and rushed forward. Bends ing over the palpitating being, he gazed upon its little ears, and saw, imbedded in the nVsh of each a thread of gold which held a tiny jeweled coronet. His lost child was found, Tb6 bear whom tbey had killed bad frustrated the gypsy's designs by becoming its foster-mother. Beiore tbey left the t-pot tbe hunters gave the poor animal Christian burial ; for surely the creature bad had a tender heart within its breast. Tears took the place of prayers, and af terward the count marked the spot with a stone. Tbe little Countess Theresa was taken home. Kind treatment and caresses soon tamed her. She learn ed to love berparent8 and to speak. In two or three years she could prattle very prettily and tell her strange experiences. According to her, the bear had certain modulations of voice by which it made known its wishes to her. It could cill her, reprove her or warn her of dange. If she screamed.it came to ber at once. At night she slept on its bosom When Tht-repa began to nnder- stand the meaning of words, she always spoke of tbe animal as: Food Mother bear.'7 She always loved it, and nothing pleased her more than when her father erected in bis gardens where all who choose may see it to this day a fountain, in the rn:ds of whose wa ters is a roarbl br holding ten tler'y iu her emb tti-e a li t'e, nrw- born twbe. Beneath is ibis iu 8Ciij ion : WHEN BUL'TUS IIVK EEARTP, il'JST XAX SOX ALSO HAVE cGUL ?

True Evangelism- Tbe following from the Wilming ton Messenger is an extract from a fi'3rraon delivered in Wilmington re cntly by Rev. F. W. E. Pacheau on "The True Evangelist'7: They recognized church authori ty, received authority and worked coder authority and fro heeded ad vice. Again we notice tbey worked in uumbie places aud with but small number?, as for iustauce, when S'hilip went out in tbe desert place to teach ouly tbe eunuch whom he lt d to Christ What a contrast thi a I is with modern evangelists. They w.iht crowds; the pastors worktd i id congregations of atwn must 3rst uuite before they come, then hey select tbe place. God sent Joi ;nh to Niueveb, where he did not write to go, and where they did not v-.nt him. Philip goes to the eu r ich on hia lonely journey, Christ Sitys to Matthew follow thou me, ail all this is true evangelism, it b it one soul can be won, without buman eclat or large crowd. On tins point we must look at one more important fact. Their work was to bo p bu:ld up local chorcbe. Taey supplemented the church's work aad did not try to supplant it, or orf'er a substitute for tbe church and h;C services acd thui try to sup- pif nt ir. HI. We consider the directions gived to Timothy as an index to what a true evangelist skoi?d teach ;t;ddo. Prtach the word and not foolish storiep, smutty jokes, harm Id and sinful exprieDcep, etc. Preach the word at all times, when r proof is necessary, reprove it with a word and not with a joke, rebuke when necessary with "the word,7' etc. Too many discoursesaare made up of anecdotes, and some woold rat-Jer hear these than Bible truth, tl v.y have itching ears. I heard a dcourse of one boor and ten min utes once and seventeen anecdotes were related in it. Where could the word come in there 1 Do the work ot an evangelist. No doubt they did woik. Phdip col lected for the poor until Saul's per secution drove him away. They mm isttred to the sick, dying, con sciene-troubled, etc. IV. As tberrf have been true ev angelists, are there any now, or do we need any now ! To both parts of tbe question we answer, jes. Taereare some trae evangelists now and we need them. In the first place, every true preacher aud pastor is a true evan gelist. In the second place the cburch has appointed some to do the work of evangelists while some may not bear the uame. Tbe traveling mission t-ecretaries in our church, the synodical evan gelists of the Presbyterian church, tbe home missionaries ol all denom inations in rural districts and ham l3tf, are doing tbe work of true ev angelists. And so is it 'bat brae, manly, consecrated band of humble men in tbe Methodist church, who are known as "Citcuit Riders." We mjst have profound, high Christ ian regir.l for these noble men, who receive !eis $alaty for one whole year than some socilled evange lis 8 rceive in one wek, and et on these small a dares over great dista'ios visit tae sick and poor and pre ich in log hut', sihool houses, and bumble cbnrcbes, as true evan gelists. These a'l are sent cut by tbe cborch, and under its direction and thaj is one feature ol true ev angelism.
