he had more information how to apply his

How to enjoy an old Cloak.

Three years ago my friends said,
You will have new cloak this
winter; yours is getting quite old
fashioned
lis color was fresh, the quality
good-perhaps it was a little too
long or too short, without much con
sidering, answered, Yes, sup
pose | must, and put aside fifteen
dollars Of my small income for this
purpose.
Before the time of cloak making
we learned that a poor and pious
woman, who in her old age had been
defrauded of her little pairimony by
n wicked son, was now in need of
many comforts for the approaching
winter, one of which was d new
stove, in place Of the rickety thing
which smoked her kitchen aud con-
suned her wood without making her
comfortable. In spite of all | could
do, my old cloak and new stove
began TO balance themselves in my
mind and in the end the new cloak
was given up and the new stove was
bought.
The winter set severely in, bur
having a share in aunt Joanna's
stock Of comfort, often went to see
her. One day lightly opening her
door, heard her supplicaiing bles-
sings on those who had thought Of
her and supplied her wants. And
how pleased and blessed was H.
when she took sick neighbor and
child into her warm kitchen, and
nursed her through the coolest
weather. Did not my old cloak pos
sess beauty and warmth Of which
fashion could never rob it.
Two years ago, 'Of course you
will have new cloak, they said
the new pa.tens are very becoming

this innovation upon the ancient Gus
toms attracted the attention Of the
authorities of Quang See, (for it was
in this interior province, far removed
from foreign influences, that this new
thing started.
The authorities in question at
tempted To crush this new religion
by persecution, but this only attract
ed attention TO il. Finding that the
new sect was daily and rapidly in
creasing. they (the civil and military
auihoriiics) beheaded two of the de-
ciples, thinking that this rigid meas
ure would suppress this disorderly
body. But so far from having this
effect, obey, the Christians, who had
increased by this time to quite con-
siderable number took up arms in de-
fence Of their religion, and called
upoa God to aid and defend them.
The imperiallsts, in an engage

great loss. The Christian army in
creased rapidly, ill they were able to
withstand any force that might be
brought against them. The Chris
iian nrny was now fairly committed.
They well knew that they must be
delivered from the bondage of the
imperial yoke, both civil and reli-
gious, or death was certain. They
lormsl the design of subverting the
government, with the intention Of
establishing in its stead liberal and
Christian government.
'They issued tracts and circulars.
in which they attacked the abuses
and corrup,Ions of the civil authori-

They destroyed idols, and circulated
portions of the Scriptures and reli-

people puIer religion. All this,

In every place he exposes the

which, of course, there are many
errors,) and breaches the Gospel

A REMARKABLE STORY.

One night. while Sir Evan Ma
pean was Under Secretary to the
Home Department, he ielt the most
unaccountablc wakeiuln, IS that could
be imagined. He was in perfect
health, had dined early, and had
nothing whatever on his mind to
keep him awake. Still he found
sleep impossible, and from eleven
till two he never closed an eye. At
length, weary Of this struggle, and as
the twilight was breaking Gt was
SUMNER he determined TO try what
would be the effect Of walk in
the park. There was nothing but
the sleepy sentinels. But, in this
walk, happening to pass the Home
Office, several times, he thought of
letting himself in with his key,
though without any particular object.
The book of entries of the day be-
fore still lay on the table, and
through listlessness he opened It.
The first thing he saw appalled, him
-" A reprieve to be sent 10 York
,nr sho s.-..---s ordered foI cxecui'oH."
The execution had been appointed
for the next d Y. 1t struck him that
he had recaived no return TO his or
der TO send The reprieve. He search
ed the minutes he could not find it
there. Ia alarm he went to the house
Of the Chief Clerk, who lived in
Downing street, knocked him up Git
was past three and asked if he
knew anything about the reprieve be-
ing sent. In great alarm, the Chief
Clerk could not reneber.
you are scarcely awake said
Sir Evan. Recollect yourself--it
mus, have been sent.
The Chief Clerk said that he now
recolccied he had sent II 10 the. Clerk
of the Crown, whose business it was
to forward il to York.
Good said Sir Evan, but have
you his receipt and certificate that II
is gone 2
NO
Then come with me to his house I;
we must find him, it is so early
II was now four and the Clerk of
the Crown lived in Chancery lane
There was no hackney coach to be
seen, and they almost ran. They
were just in time. The Clerk of
the Crown had a country-house, and,
meaning to have long holiday, he
was at tha! moment stepping into
his gig to go TO his villa. Astounded
at the visit OF the Under Secretary
of State, at such an hour, he was
still more so at his business.
Heavens !! cried he, the reprieve
is locked up in my desk =
II was brought. Sir Evan sent TO
the post Office for the truest and
fleeiesi express. The reprieye reach
ed York, the next morning, Just at
the moment when the unhappy men
were ascending the cart.
