The "LiTe of a Factory Boy.
It was about the year 1823 that
a little boy was asked if he would
like to learii the wTay to earn his
own living. "Yes said the
boy; for he was a4 ways ready tor
anything, and especial! v fond of
work.
And yet even at that time, it
seemed as if be had quite enough
to do. ' Boys are not very big at
ten years old, and bad to grow.
Neither are they wise so he had
to study. Neither do th?y know
how, to guide, themselves, so he
had to obey. Boys, too, are fond
of playing, walking, and climb
ing, and there were plenty of
beautiful hills not far from his
home. But though he Was so
much engaged, he was quite rea
dy to go to work. In the place
where lie lived there were large
cotton factories.
"You can go as a pieccr. Da
vid. -
41 Yes, I should like to do
that.',
So every morning w hen the sun
up, and sometimes perhaps
before it was light,, this little boy
went to his work, and tried to do
it as vell as the bigger boys did,
so that Ins master was quite satis
fied, and his parents plea-ed.
But because he had some new
work to do he did not mean to
neglect the old work. Tf he had
to be factory ..boy, he was not ob
liged to remain an. ignorant one.
He had .-to leave the day-school,
but he could go to-a night school,
and he did.
Was he not tired ?
Yes ; but he worked all the
same.
How could he do both things?
Well,' boys and girls. I am not
surprised that you should ask
this questions for no -doubt 3011
feel that you could not work hard
all day in a factory, and then worly
hard till evening at school. But
this boy did so, and you, yjll see
that he must have lovedWork.
He learnt Latin andureek, so
be passed far bewond many' chil
dren who have nothing to do but
learn through all tlie year.
He grew up as boys will and
every year added to his knowl
edi;e. But he did not want to be
in a cotton factory all his lite; and
often while he was at work, or
when he had time for a walk on
the banks of the
beautiful river
Cfyde, his
thoucrhtf
were busy
about the future
lifef. which he
hoped to do. ;
' But he was, not yVt sati shied
with hi? knowledge. Hewanted
to know sornethinor about medi
cine and manv other thint-s.
he'thide up his mind to go to
college. -
College I" vou say ? " How
could a poor factoryHad go to
college
Well, many factory l?tds have
done so, and some of them be
came, as this one did, very clever
and industrious men.
He went to college, though his
going was no expense to his pa
rents; and there is a simple rule
which wid enable almost any one
to go to college if he wishes it.
Shall I tell you the rule? It is
this : Earn as much money and
spend as little as posible.' David
knew how to 'do" without many
things which he wanted, and the
knowledge was of great siirvice
to him in after life.
YVu see he was industrious,
sel f-denj'ing and persevering, but
he Was something more he Was
a Chrsstain. lie loved the Lord
Jesus Christ, and he wanted other
people to love Him too. So D.a
vid said to himself: '"I will be a
missionaiw." So when he left
college he said good-bye." to
Blaiityre, tlio placft where lie liv
od,1 and Sec tlati d , .which he never
ceased to love, and l.e went to the
London Missionary Society. -
" I should like to be a inedical
missioiiary," he ' said.; f 4iI have
learned how to cure people's bo
dies, and I waiit to go and tell
those who have never heard ot the
Saviouf,of One who can cure their
BOUls.'
So the London Missionary So
ciety said they were glad to have
the young man, and he should go
away to work for Jesus in Afri-
C3i
So away he went, and nobody
knew, not even himself, of the
good, great work which he was
going to perform ; but I will tell
3ou what you will notice as
you grow older. When a person !
is ver3T willing and glad to work,
when he does the little tasks as
well as they can possibly be done,
then God trusts him to do greater
things.
David Livingstone for it is ot
him I am telling you went away
to A frica with an earnest face and
resolute heart. He asked God to
bless him the best ways of win
ning the love and confidence of
the poor negroes among whom
he was going td live, and to give
him the joy of doing his work;
well and successfully.
He was very happy in Africa,
lie married the daughter of Dr.
Moffat tthe venerable missionary,
and he lived on terms of great in
timacy with the black people, for
ho wanted them to tell that he
was their friend end brother as
Well as their teacher. For six-
teen years ne woriced as a mis
sionary, and during this time he
made some very important geo
graphical discoveries. In 1-856
he came over to England, to tell
what he had done. He was able
to teach his country more than
the ever knew before about
South Afiica, and he wrote a book
which is invaluable.
lie went back again and be
came even vet moiefavnous as an
explorer and discoverer. Then,
when years luuKpassed, lie paid
another visit to -England, and
again returned to Africa. He
went up the country, finding out
abcuiff fresh j laces, endeavoring
to civilize the people, teaching
them to love his ''.Saviour by his
own gentleness and kindness, and
loiiiriiiir to see all the slaves set
free. There are no roads or post
offices where he was, and we hoard
nothing about him for manv
3ears until Mr. Stanley went over
and sought and found him. lie
was the last white man who saw
him alive. Livingston would not
return with him, for he had not
done all the work ho hoped to do,
and stayed to finish it. But God
took him away from his labors to
rest with Him in Heaven.
lie was, as 3 011 know, brought
over "0 England, though it could
not be accomplished until a year
after his death, and was buried in
Westminister Abby on April 8th.
And then it was proved how
much he, who had been a poor
factory bo, was beloved. For
many thousands' of miles his re
mains were brou ght safety tliro.igh
Africa. T lien thev were met at'
Southampton by many great and
learned men, while the mayor and
town people showed in man ways
how they esteemed the memory
of him who had livedgo nonlv, i
and died so bravelsCimmng the
people of Africa. And then the
dav of his funeral came, West
minister Abbje' was filled with
crowds of those mourning his
death, and admired and loved
him 'or what he had.
Oh, boys, do not some of 3011
wish to be like Dr. Livingstone?
Sure! 3011 would be glad to live
as grandlyy and accomplish as
much good ? Do vou know the
wav? It is to love God, and for
His sake, to love work, and to
'pity and long to bless the down
trodden and oppressed. IsOiulon

extensively used for nervous pain. I
have no doubt I have given two or
three dozen recipes. My wife used
it extensively for neuralgia,- and it
cured two ladies so quickly of sick

perhaps it would do them some

and rub it on the parts affected,

to encourage absorption. Get pure
articles, a specific measure of each ;
do not let the Druggist guess as

Outrage by a. Baud of Arm oil
Sr. Louis, Mo, October 5.
A special dispatch to the Globe
from Denison, Texas, sas : On
theiiight of September 25, twenty-five
or thirty -aixmccLmiil mask
ed men, riding blanketed horses,
visited Thomas Boyd, at St. Jo
seph, Montague count, and cal
led on William Stone, who, with
his family, boarded with Mr.,
Boyd, to come out. Mr. Stone
refused, whereupon he was jn
formed that there was a body of
men near by who intended to
hang him if he did not leave town
in twenty-four hours. The party
then visited several other houses
and made similar demands upon
(he inmates. The next da' De
puty IJnited States Marshal J. M.
Rodman and several orther XJuiN
ed States officers, arrived at St. .
Joseph and found Mrs -Stone and '
others packing their wagons pre
paratory to leaving and accom
panied them fifteen mib s 011 their
journey, camping .with them the
fust night. They . Icpt pickers
out to prevent surprise, as the in
tention ofthe gang was to follow
and murder them. Ycsterda3' tho
refugees appeared before United
States Commissioner Charles E.
Maurice, , and filed complaints
against twenty-two . members of
of the. gang whom they, could
identify. AYarrarits were -issued
and placed in the hands'of Depii
ty Marshal Wight, who, with a
posse of firmed men, left Denison
last night for Montague county to
make the arrest. ,
The demonstration agafnst Nr.
Stone and others was to prevent
theni, irom appearing in court as
witnesses against certain parties.
