THE LITTLE ORPHAN Boys ESCAPE

THE LITTLE ORPHAN BOYS ESCAPE.
"Fire ! fire fire y
Little orphan George was fast asleep.
"Fire! fire."
George jumped up in bed, and sat sec
ond or two rubbing his eyes. He was wide
awake now, quakipg and shivering, for he
was all alone, up stairs in his little room.
The room was oil one blaze of light; he
was dazzled by it, and before he could get
to the door the smoke was choking him.
The door was locked Yes, George re-
membered now He had been naughty be-
fore tea, and his grand mother sent him up
stairs, and then came up herself and locked
the door. Hepulled andpulled at the door;
then kicked at it, striking frantically, for
he was faint with heat, and almost suffoca-
ting with the thick smoke. The house was
filled with the tramp of feet and sound of
voices, so that poor little Georges des-
pairing cries and dshrieks for help were lost.
go, grandmother mother! Send some
body!' cried orphan George. "Dear Je-
sus, do send somebody"
George gasped and fell backward in the
smoke. Two strong arms lifted him up.
Those two strong arms held him close to a
brave and kind heart, and two strong feet
went quickly down over the burning stairs
flying with him through the light and heat
and smoke, till George and his strong de-
Iliverer were safe outside among the crowd.
Yes, grandmother was all safe, and SO
was George.
"Oh I' said the little orphan boy, after.
ward, putting both arms round the strong
mans neck, and pressing his lips to his
rough bearded cheek-"oh! I'll always
love you so! I'll alvays work for you"
'sPoor child" said the strong man, fold
ing him in his arms. "I couldn't let lit.
tie boy burn to death while my own little
Jimmy was lying safe in his bed"
George was very little boy, but he
was old enough to know that Jesus Christ
had loved him and died for him; and he
was soon afterwards able to say in his heart,
"Now I'll always love Jesus" for he
thought this freman's love was nothing to
Gods love: and 1 hope orphan George did
love Jesus, and he might we'll praise God if
his escape from burning room was the
means Of turning his heart to the Saviour.
Perhaps the fireman did not think that
Jesus died to save him and all Of US from
death-a for warse death than that of the
body. For this is what is taught by the
kind Saviour himself: "And fear not them
which kill the dody, but are not able to kill
the soul; but rather fear Him which is able
to destroy both soul and body in hell.

DEATH FROM WANT OF SLEEp.-The following
communication was recently made to British So
ciety:
"a Chinese merchant had been convicted of
numbering his wife, and was sentenced to die by
being deprived of sleep. This painful mode Of
death was carried into execution under the follow
ing circumstances: The condemned was placed in
prison under the care of three of the police guard,
who relieved each other every alternate hour, and
who prevented the prisoner from falling asleep,
night or day. He thus lived for nineteen days
without enjoying any sleep. AT the commence
ment of the eighth day his sufferings were so in
tense that he impored the authorities to grant him
the blessed opportunity of being strangulated,
guiotined, burned to death, drowned, shot, gar
rotted, quartered, blown up with gunpowder, OF
put to death in any other conceivable way which
their humanity or ferocity could invent.
Basa In 1868 the enemy caught an old countryman
near Madison Court House, and informed him that
he must do one of two thngs-either take the oath
of allegiance to the United States Government OF
prepare to be buried alive Hedeclined taking the
oath, when his captors deliberately proceeded in
ished they led him to it and said
evil you take the oath?'
"NoT responded the prisoner.
| ''You had betterp'
II won'tr'
If you don't take the oath you'll be buried alive
in that grave, in the next five minutes! The old
fellow approached nearer, looked with attention al
the pit yawning before him, and then turning round
with his hands in his pockets, replied calmly:
''Well, go on with your ID old funerall'
