LoTTIE AND THE VoICE.--You re-
member the story of little Samuel.
One night, after he had gone to bed, he
heard Voice, saying, Samuel, Sam
uel!" He thought it was Eli calling
him, So he got up, and went to Eli,
and asked him what he wanted. Eli
said he did not call him, and told
him to go and lie down again. Sam
uel heard the Voice a second time.
and third time. Then Eli thought
it was God speaking to Samuel; and
he told him, when he heard the Voice
again, to say, Speak Lord; for Thy
servant heareth."
God does not speak to children in
these days, as He spoke to Samuel.
We cannot hear His voice with our
ears. He does not say, "Philip, Phil
ipH "Mary, Mary!' But God does
not pass by without speaking. No; |
am sure He does not do that. God
speaks to US by His spirit, in still,
small voice.
There was little girl named Char
lotte. They called her Lottie. Lottie
once became very angry with her
grandmother. She spoke unkindly,
and threw towel to her, instead OF
bringing it willingly and politely, as
a little grandchild should.
"Aottie, Lotiie y said a still, small
Voice within her. Lottie heard it.
She heard it above the angry voices
which were in her bosom, and she
knew whose it was. She knew it was
Gods. She saw that her feelings and
conduct must grieve her Heavenly
Father. She felt so unhappy that she
ran out of the room and up stairs.
"Lottie, Lottie!' the Voice still
seemed to say within her. The lit
tie girl threw herself on the bed and
began to cry. She said, COL | know L
have behaved very naughtily to dear
grandmother. / was quick and un-
kind. | am sorry, very sorry. 1 will
run down this minute, and ask her to
forgive me-" and Lottie did so. @Will
you forgive my naughty behavior to
you, dear grandma 2" she asked.
eyes, my child" was the reply; 'for
there is nothing SO acceptable to God
as the penitent tear"
So Lottie was forgiven for her fault
and strove with success afterwards to
restrain the quickness of temper which
was unhappily natural to her.-Earty

The Old Rumseller.

Twas nigh to bar that had long been made,
Leand a rumseIler old in the liquor trade,
His work was done he paused to count
The receipts of the day-a large amount.
A relic of jolly old topers was he,
And his hair was as white as the foam of the sea,
And these words came out with the fumes ofthe
gin,

Csoyas-"I gather them in, I gather them in,
Gather, gather, gather,

To my den of death they go and come,
Some to the scaffold and some to the grave,
Some to the prison, but none save;
Come father. mother, daughter and son,

With my rum or whiskey, brandy or gin,

Gather, gather, gather,

The old man ceased as he closed his till,
Soon all was dark and gloomy and still;
And l said to myself as he went to rest,
"Can it be that humanity dwells in your breast =
May man forgive you. but God never will,
"Though your ill-gotten gains foot the minister,

And his voice will be heard Ger the last trump:

fIt's no use your waiting or press

morrow morning, and bring Mr..
Trench with you; but I won't see him
or tell a word of anything until [ see
my clergy first"
The clerk unwillingly retired; he
saw further pressing was useless, and
he came and told me all that had
passed.
"You could do no more" | said
ave must wait the result of his inter-
view with the priest | trust he will
induce him to tell us all he knows"
The clerk shook his head doubling
ly but made no reply.
At ten o'clock next morning, my
clerk obtained access to the condemn
I'D cell of the criminal. The first
glance at the prisoner showed that a
igreat change had taken place since
the interview of the preceding day.
All traces of doubt, uncertainty, and
agitation had completely vanished,
and HOdgens stood before him calm
and unmoved, with quiet placidity
of manner and countenance, as if all
anxiety about his fate was gone. He
could scarcely recognize in the plac-
| id feattres Of the man now before
him, tie shattered and agitated frame
he hadleft the evening before, and he
saw at a glance that Hodgens had
made Up his mind, and was at peace
within himself.
"Well," said the clerk, Disgusting
his fears as well as he could, "may !
send for Mr.. Trench, and will you tell
him al you know about what we were
talking Of yesterday ?"
a viii tell nothing," returned Hodg
ems, calmly, and with composed and
resigned countcnance. "I will tel

to any one else. | have seen my

any more. l will tell nothing, excep

and WHO should that be but the priest
So let me alone, for you'll never ge
another word out of me; Tam conten

He calmly sat down, and remained
in perfect silence, until the clerk, VIII
had addressed him several times with
out effect, was compelled to leave tn
cell.

RATS AND Grows on A BENDER
Whisky is a fluid used chiefly, either
"neat' or in toddifed combination, as
an intoxicator of man. Not until now
has it been applied with success to
the inebriation of rat and crow. 1t
came to pass recently that the maid
servant of an agriculturist in Illinois
conceived the idea that as whisky was
killing many men in the neighbor
hood, it might possibly be made use
full as an, exterminator of rats; so
the maid-servant Of the agriculturiSt
took an ordinary "horn" of the arti-
Gle, made it sweet with sugar, crum-
bled some bread therein, and placed
it in the cellar. A few days after
wards she went down and found sew
eral rats, gloriously fuddIed, engaged
in throwing potato parings, and haul
ing one another up to drink! No
doubt about it.
But accurate as this is, it is sur
passed by an occurrence that recent.
ly took place at Napa, California
where the crows had made themselves
obnoxious by their persistent invasion
of the corn fields. A man who had
been hired to watch a particularly
promising field, and notify these bird;
that it was against the rules to pick
,up any thing therein, bethought him
self how he could make "soft thing
of it for himself, and at the same time
meet the requirements of his contract
Finally, by a beautiful instinct, he hi
upon the plan of soaking some corr
in whisky and placing it in the field
so that the crows would eat it an(
get drunk, and thus enable him t.
have sure and easy thing Of killing
them. He had tried the shotgun, bu
crows smell powder long way. Al
ter soaking some corn over night h
put a good supply in the field mex
morning, and in two or three hour
went out to see how things were pre-
crossing. Mark you the result: On
of the crows a little larger than til
rest had taken possession of nearl
all the corn, had built himself ba
out Of some clods of earth, and wa

A VOLCANIC PLAGUE SPoT.-The
earthquake of last summer, which de-
Stroyed africa and other Peruvian
towns, left stranger effects behind it
than mere ruin. One of the most sin
gular is near Locumbia, about twen-
| ty-two leagues from Tacna, where the
shocks were severest. There has
been from time immemorial q dry ar
roy0, that is, the bed Of a dried up
river. One Of the mountains rising
from the arroyo split open in the con-
vulsions OF the earth, and a small
stream of fetid water oozed thence in
to the arroyo. No attention was at
first paid to the fact, nor to the NOR
tality among the animals that visited
the neighborhood. 1t was only when
the people Of Tacna fed from the
scourge of the fever, which was de.
vastating the cities, to the valley OF
Locumbia, that they became aware
of the fatal effects upon their animals,
at distance of as many as eight and
ten miles from the arroyo. "The
stencil" says traveller, "can be com.
pared to nothing else than old bilge-
water, OF the smell of which you be-
come painfully conscious. Within
twelve miles from its source, my horse
dropped down under me, and in five
minutes he was dead. He vomited
three or four times thick substance
like the black vomit. | was left to
walk fifteen miles to the nearest
house, two-thirds of which | may cal
a mules graveyard, SO thickly was
the old road covered with them" y
The cause of this singular freak of ma
ture is unknown but it seems tha
the gases which have impregnatet
the atmosphere produce the death o.
the animals that inhale it. What th,
gases are composed of science alon'
can solve. A commission has beel
ordered by the government to exam
inc into this extraordinary matter ant
report upon it.
