yOunS sisr4ymar, feeling the irresisti-
Bile force Of goodness, Ailu speaking as II
he, had never read the passage in the
book, for himself; "thc Saviour's exam
pie is very beautiful" .......l
And does not your reverence perceive
how easy and delightful it would be for
every one to begin to follow it?" imine-
diately rejoined Dorothy, taking advan-
tage Of the good impression which, she
saw, WAS being made on the mind of the
young parson; show easily might all
who have enough, give even of their lit
tie superfaity; how easily might we all
do each other kindnesses which would
cast us nothing! What solid pleasure
this would bring back upon each Of our
hearts; and how surely 1t would lead us
to make sacrifices In order to experience
the richer pleasure Of doing greater good!

~ A young man In Portsmouth,
New Hampshire, on wager Of $500, re-
Gently walked q hundred miles in ~
many consecutive hours without sleep
Throughout the time his nervous excite
ment was kept up by strong tea. His
head was bandaged and hathed frequent
ly with rum and alum. He often STUN
bled from weakness and WEAKNESS. The
fourth and last day was one Of weariness
aching limits, aching head, and prostra'
ton. He required to he supported as he
went his hourly rounds. In the 95th
hour he tainted and fell. Every hour OF
the last four he was batned all over Will
rum and alum. In the 99th hour he
1 again fell in faintness. The last hour at
length arrived, and with his assistants
he completed his mile In a3 minutes.
A terrible reaction took place afterward,
and constant medical attendance and
careful nursing alone saved his life.
The only sensible thing In connection
with this foolish and wicked expendi
ture Of strength IL the conclusion I,
which the misguided young man arrlv
ed when the affair was over: "That ter
times the amount Of money he had re
ceived would not induce hin, to make q
like effort"
