rr~ Way YOU ALWAYS STOPPED. The YER
r,ort I'D ord tells COED story OF an innocent
I'M y.5~ Who never before had 'trid on rail
g5g5 rao was passenger on one OF the YER
,.,,5f threads at the time Of recent COLLISION,
,gha1 lreight train ran into passenger tram,
gr,oshlB- one of the cars, killing several pas
sa1rsrs and upsetting things generally. AS
con as ne could recover his scattered senses,
Fts CONDUCTOR went in search of the venerable
dame vaom he found sitting solitary and alone
In fhe car fthe other passengers having sought
terra 3rra1, with very placid expression upon
mr. conference, Notwithstanding she had made
4 spanfate somersault over the seat IN front,
sra aar bandbox and bundle had gone uncere-
raoniogs,y down the passage way Are you
hnr-qH INQUIRED the conductor. "Hurt! Why
sa;a -he old lady. awe have just been run in
In bv freight train, two or three passengers
have been killed, and several others severely

rr2.ar lin reading the Bible, which ] never
f.lt bafore: it attracts and fixes me to an incon-
raieahie leeree, and seek sincerely, there, and
1rtv rbars the truth. When / compare the
rsIro sud peace which the smallest and most
iuperesptible grain of faith gives to the soul,
Min an nat the world can give of JOY or hap
rfress feel that the least in the kingdom of
heaven Is hundred times more blessed than
+1s Greatest and most elevated of the men of
The world"
Striking testimony, and the more striking on

;tfe nat II the language of one whom the world
b.d 5izaDoointed and disguised and who, in spir-
h of E1saathrope, turned to religion as substi-
tats far lis former pleasures; it is not the ex-
7,zrfeDas of a bed-ridden cripple, making vir-
tine of necessity, and seeking consolation from
ralfgfa- because every other source of happi-
,as= IA cut off. No. 1t is the experience OF a
rouaa adv, residing at the very centre OF all
that 1arIl dazzle the mind and faenate the i'm
5riaati5u in the gayest and the most brilliant
.5ty n Europe; whom the world in its most al
lgri1p forms, was perpetually assailing, and
seeking . captivate.
