If the salary be inadequate, it is all you

call If he be man Of earnest devotion to
the work, willing to make sacrifices of per-
sonal comfort for the sake of preaching

much for your spiritual good.

salary is paid only in part Or in uncertain
installments, coming in long after the quar-

How is he to sustain his character for com

water will contain a pint OF earbonc acio

ty is nearly doubled for reducing the emper
ature of water to ice. OF course the matter
becomes doubly serious when small or
close room is occupied. These facts disclose
another Of considerable importance in do

that water may be used as an absorbent Of

Water is excellent as purifier, but people
who regard their health should be certain
that it is itself pure before applying 1t to the

Story of Sam HOustou

Usually he made point, on MS way north.
to stop three or four days al Cairo to enjoy
the fishing. On one occasion he had located
himself on the stern guard of wharl-boat,
While boy, bent on the same business, had
taken position on a wood-boat moored a few
feet Off, Both were patiently awaiting re-
suits. At the interesting juncture of a bite
at the boys bait, Houston threw out his
line, which became hopelessly entangled with
that of the boy. There was pause. Neither
seemed to have word fit for the occasion.
At last Houston broke the silence:
"Sonny 60 elsewhere and fish, and then
we'll avoid entansliug alliances"
"You blasted old short coat" retorted the
bud of promise, Z" ego elsewhere yourself and
fish" .....s
II apprehend that you are Ia very saucy
boy" returned the Senator, "lor whom there
are by no means enough rods in pickle" '
"Now look here, old skeezics," cried the
boy, now fully aeitated, 81 don't want to
quarrel with you, nor nobody like you. Your
name is Sam Dawson, and you live in Texas
and like everybody else, you stole boss, and
had to go there; and now you a :e putting on
big shine, you old thief, and calling your
self Sam Houston" Saying which this very
amiable creature gave sudden lurch, and
pulled the honorable gentleman's rod from
his hands, and threw it into the river.
In relating this in his characteristic style,
Houston said; 81 have met a man in debate
at the bar, on the stump, and upon the floors
of Congress, but never was | so completely
discounted. The boy had decidedly the best
of it, and from his looks, knew that when
he said stole 'hoss,' in his heart of hearts
he believed it." r#.+ --.H

Prophets. --..
Republicanism in Spain has received an un-
expected adhesion. Our foreign files, receiv-
ed by the Moravian, contain a letter from
the Infante Don Henry of Bourbon to the
Provisional Government at Madrid, in which
he avows himself unreservedly for a republic
aud declares that what his country has need
of is Washington and not Caesar. Don
Henry is the brother-in-law Of Queen Isabel
la. the brother of the King Consort, and
twenty years ago was vice-admiral of Spairf
He Is extremely bitter In his denuncIatious of

character, and so full of vanity and selfish
ness that he thinks everything due TO
him, and that 10 one in the world should
refuse him the distinguished honor of be-
coming his courtier; when his cupidity accents
with one hand the gifts and favors of Isabel
la H., and when, ungratetul and traitorous,
he strives with the other to usurp the place
OF his benefactors who reposed full confidence
In him; when see him coldly specializing at
distance on the blood stained field of Alco-

Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine has anything won so widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series of years, and among most of the races Of
men 1t has risen higher and higher in their estma-
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
OF the lungs and throat have made it known as re-
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mlder forms of disease and to young children, it is
at the same time the most efectual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dan.
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antdote for them
Although settled Consumption is thought in
durable, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured
anu the patient restored to sound health by the
CHERRY Pectorat. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders Of the Lungs and Throat that
