wealth, Of the 23d, says: . '- .-:
We are informed tina. on Friday night last,
the following incident occurred at South Ben
son Baptist Church. We suppose that the
minister can say that he walked up one snake,
a: least. Near the close of the sermon, snake,
6ve feet long and some four or five inches in
diameter, crawled in at the door and up the
; aisle, passing near the feet of several gentle,
men, causing them to jump upon the back OF
the pew. and stretched itself out in front OF
the pulpit apd laid perfectly still, watching
the minister, until the close OF the service,
when it was killed, and hung up in tree as a
warning to all disturbers of religious worship.

How RAIN FALLs.-Where does the rain
come from? You answer. From the
clouds" But where do the clouds come
from? You may think the wind blows them
over you But fit blows clouds over you
from somewhere else, it also blows them
from you to other places. The fact is, the
water of the clouds is just as mvch over you
on clear day as on cloudy or rainy day.
On fair day when no clouds are seen, the
water is divided up into such small particles,
that it does not obsrruct the suns light, and
so you see no clouds or water. A change of
temperature in the atmosphere, as when a
warmer and colder current of air meet.
causes the small particles of water to unite
in pairs, and the pairs unite, and these quad
ruple drops unite, and soon until hundreds
or thousands of the small invisible particles
unite in one. and even then that one may be
many hundreds times smaller than pins
head. A mass of these combined drops
which are still small enough to float in the
air, reflects, refracts, or bends out of their
course so many of the suns rays that they
stop and often darkens its light. 1t is thus
that clouds gather in clear sky. When
enough drops unite to make one too heavy to
float in the air. it begins to fall. 1t meets
and unite with many others in falling, and
often so many unite that great rain drops are
formed by the time they get to the ground
Each large drop is made up Of thousands,
perhaps millions of the small drops that float
in the unseen air in a clear sky.

A SHARP CLERK.-In 1922. NJ. Labou-
chere, then clerk in the banking house of

patrons to Mr.. Barring the London banker,

Fortified with these two promises, NJ. La

The:child being iuterrogsted as to the
cause Of her conduct, disclosed the fact
that the fend had employed drugs, and
even violence to consumate his hellish de-

Absence or Mind.

WE have heard Of numerous Instances
Of mental abstraction, most frequently
connected with men of great devotion to
some particular literary, scientific or
theological investigation, which monopo.
Lies the mental powers. We could
point out many individuals who fill the
pulpit with ability, and display in their
discourse vast powers Of intellect, who,
in the social party, carry on some mental
exercise which disconnects them from
passing events. In Massachusetts iS
clergyman of this class, who in bis abb
sent intervals, is likely to appropriate to
himself not only whatever handkerChiefS
may chance to como in his way, but table
napkins also are frequently found in his
pockets when returning from social tsA
parties at his parishioners. This was so
much habit, that bis wife would search
his pockets ON her return for the purr
pose of restoring the articles speedily to
the rightful owners. One day his wife
found in his side pocket q whole silk
apron, string and all. He could give no.
account how it came there--it was q
mysterious affair. A lady Of the parish,
however, settled the matter satisfactorily.
In conversation with her guests after tea;
on somessubjcct in which he felt much
interest, he DiStook her apron, as 9sha
supposed, for his handkerchief, and began
to tuck it away IN his pocket. Knowing
his abstractedness, rather than break the
thread Of the discourse, she united the
apron string and let it go, little amused
at seeing the whole after two or three
efforts, snugly slowed away in his
| pocket --alaL -. -.-.-.1-. -.--------
