ignorance exposes him. Rather hail

Wasn't Pushing Him.

Some time ago, on the Sabbath, we wended
our way TO one Of the churches, and instead Of
a sermon heard an address upon some mission
ary or other benevolent subject. After the adj
dress was concluded, two brethren were sent
round for contributions. Parson l. was
one of the basket bearers, taking the side upon
which we sat. Immediately in our front, and
upon the next scat, negligently reclined our
friend Bill Il, a gentleman Of infinite hui
NOR and full of dry jokes. Parson l. ex-
tended the basket, and Bill slowly shook bis
head
Come. William, give US something said
the parson.
Can't do it, said Bill.
Why not A.? Is not the cause a good one :?
Yes, but am not able 10 give anything

"But William, you owe God larger debt

dltion as he passed on.

a Memorable Interview.

One of the most memorable and important
interviews which ever took place between two
individuals in this world, was held on raft in
the middle Of the river Nieman, at the little
town of Iilsit. in Prussia Ut one o'clock pre-
ciselv on the 25th of June, 1907, boats put of
from opposite sides of the stream, and rowed
RAPIDLY towards the raft. Out Of each boat
stepped a single individual, and the two met in
a small wooden apartment in the middle OF
the raft while cannon thundered from either
shore. and the shouts of great armies drawn
IN on either bank drowned the roar of artillery
The two persons were the Empcrors Napoleon
and Alexander, and the history Of the time tells
Us that they met to arrange the dcstinies Of
mankind" And the hastily constructed raft,
on which the interview took place, will be re-
membored as long as the story Of great con-
quests and mighty revolutions can interest the
mind of man The conference lasted but two
hours it was entirely private between the two
Emperors, and yet it was fraught with momon-
tous consequences to millions. 1t was one OF
the great crisis in human history when the
currents of power that govern the nations take
new directions and break over the bounds and
barriers Of ages.
Go back eighteen hunlrcl years beyond the
treaty Of Tilsit, and we find private confer
cncc between two individuals Of far more mo-
mcntous and lasting Importance than between
Napoleon and Alexander This more ancient
interview was not watched with eager cXpcc-
fancy 10y great armies; it was not hailed by
tie thunders of cannon and the shouts of ap-
plauling thousands; it WAS not arranged be-
f,rehand by keen and wltchful agents Of the
two that were to meet. 1t was in q private
house. at a late hour Of the night and it was
brought about BY the mingled curiosity and
anxiety Of an old man to know something more
Of young teacher who had recently appeared
in his native city. And yet from that humble
night conference Of Jesus and Nicodemus, there
have cone forth beams of light and words Of
power to the ends Of the earth. The plans
formed by Napoleon and Alexander at Tilsit
were reversed AMI defeated long ago. and it is
imp.ssibl, to trace their influence in the con-
dition Of European nations to-day. The words
spoken by Jesus to bis wondering and solita-
ry listener that night have already changed
anil g1,rifo1 tle destiny Of immortal millions.

A Good Word for the Cat Bird.

4 writer in the AAqutic Monthly says ono
rainy day, the past summer as we sat by a
window looking out upon the flower bed, our
attention was attracted to a cat bird apparent
" buried head and shoulders in the soil, and
trying to oxtricate himself Our first impulse
was to run to his rescue, supposiug him to be
in danger from some hidden enemy, but we
soon discovered our mistake when we saw him
gradually immergc, dragging out with him,
not without some difficulty, a very large grab
of the May beetle, which he hal detected in
the very act Of eating the roots Of our favorite
acranium. The ofenlerwas forthwith pound
ed to Jelly, and in this condition borne off to
a birds nest hard by, where it no doubt glad
deued the hearts Of one Of its nestings. Our
good opinion Of the cat-Jird is confirmed by
the recent experience Of President Hill, Of
Cambridge. \ favorite elm, near bis house,
was attacked last summer by a large swarm OF
the vanessa caterpilIars. They rapidly de-
youred its foliage, and threatened soon to des-
poll the tree of its beauty. One day when he
was about to bring ladders to attempt thcr
removal. and was considering whether it was
practicable, he observed a cat-bird fly to the
tree and begin 20 destroy the caterPiIlars.-
Seeing this unexpected relief, he deferred any
interference and awaited the result. Nor was
he disappointed. In few days the cat-biTd
entirely cleared the tree The writer was an
eve witness to a similar result, but in this case
the tree attacked by the yanessa worm was
poplar aud the birds which cleared them out
were Baltimore Orioles.
