The Drover's Story.

My name is Anthony Hunt. l am a
drover, and l live miles and miles away
upon the western prairie. There wasn't a
home within sight when we moved there, my
wife and l, and now we haven't many neigh
bOrs, though those we have are good ones.
One day about ten years ago, went away
from home to sell some fifty head of cattle
fine creatures as ever l saw. was to
buy some groceries and dry goods before |
came back, and above all, doll for our
youngest Dolly She had never had store
doll of her own, only the rag babies her
mother had made for her.
Dolly could salk of nothing else, and
went down to the very gate to call after me
to "buy a big one" Nobody but a parent
could understand how full my mind was of
that toy, and how, when the cattle were
sold, the first thing l hurried off to buy
Dolly's doll found large one, with eyes
that would open and shut when you pulled
a wire, and had it wrapped in paper and
tucked it under my arm while 1 had the
parcels of calico and delaine and tea and
sugar put up. Then, late as it was, l
started for home. 1t might have been more
prudent to stay until morning, but l felt
anxious to get back, and eager to hear
Doly's prattle about her toy.
1 was mounted on a steady-going old
horse of mine, and pretty well loaded
Night set in before l was mile from town,
and settled down dark as pitch while I was
in the middle of the widest bit of road l
know of. IcOuld have felt my way, though,
remembered it so well, and it was almost
that when the storm that had been brewing
broke, and pelted the rain in torrents, FIVE
miles or, may be, six, from home yet, too.
rode as fast as could, but all of sud-
den heard little cry like child's voice!
l stopped short and Istened-I heard it
again. l called and it answered me. I
couldn't see thing; all was dark as pitch.
l got down and felt about the grass-caned
again, and again was answered. Then |
began to wonder. I'm not timid, but l was
known to be drover and to have money
about me. 1t might be trap to catch me
unaYares and rob and murder me.

The Moment of Peril.

More than quarter of a century ago
two vessels, in gale off the Southern coast
and wrapped in the darkness of the night,
were sailing towards each other. The COM
manders knew it not until suddenly, from
the deck of one of the ships rang out the
trumpet-shout, "Hard a-starboard" The
officer had caught sight of the approach
ing craft through the gloom, when near the
prov of his own. Instantly was heard in
response the thrilling word, "Hard-a-lar-
board!" Every heart on those ships was still,
as the white .robed arms of the leviathans Of
the sea-wave seemed to interlock in terrific
struggle, then part forever. Each swept
onward towards its destined port, bearing
the pale spectators of the scene
Those ships had doubtless often been in
danger, but never before nor afterwards
was such threatened destruction warded of
by breath through the speaking trumpet,
and escaped by so small margin of deliver
ance. t2a A
We believe that in heaven every ransom
ed soul will see in the life-voyage, among
many dangers encountered, some single peril
of decisive interest. 1t may have been the
avoiding of the meeting with dangerous
companion, or stopping at the entrance of a
theatre, when the forces of evil were in wait
for him, turning as it were hairbreadth
aside, because upon the inward ear fell just
in time the warning tones of the silver trum-
pet borne by them of whom it is written /:
4" For He shall give His angels charge over
thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They
shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou
dash thy foot against a stone"
That escape will have solitary impor-
lance in all the earthly past, and will send
up to the throne strain of highest thanks.
giving. Such was its relation to life; to
have failed of deliverance then was certain
ruin forever.
Some Christians can now look back upon
this moment of dark and awful peril. Null
titudes are daily passing safely, or making
shipwreck at such critical moments in pro-
baton.

I'm not superstitious-not very. But how
could a real child be out on the prairie in
such night, and at such an hour. 1t might
be more than human.
The bit of coward that hides itself in
most men showed itself to me then, and l
was half inclined to run away, but once
more 1 heard that cry, and said l:
eff any mans child is hereabouts, An
thony Hunt is not the man to let it die.
searched again. At last bethought
me of hollow under the hill, and grouping
that way, sure enough, 1 found little drip
ping thing that moaned and sobbed as l took
it in my arms. 1 called my horse, and the
beast came to me, and mounted, and tucked
the little soaked thing under my coat as
well as could, promising to take it home
to nanny. 1t seemed tired to death, and
pretty soon cried itself to sleep against my
bosom.
1t had slept there over an hour when
saw my own windows. There were lights
in them, and 1 supposed my wife had lit
them for my sake, but when got into the
door yard 1 saw something was the matter
and stood still with dead fear at heart
FIVE minutes before 1 could lift the latch
At last I did it, and SAMMY room full o.
neighbors, and my wife amidst them weeping
When she saw me she hid her face
"Oh, don't tell him." she said, cit will Kill
him."
"What is it, neighbors," cried.
And one said, "Nothing now, hope
what's that in your arms?"
GA poor, lost child said l. 81 found
it on the road. Take it, will you, I've
turned faint" and 1 lifted up the sleeping
thing and saw the face of my own child
my little Dolly.
1t was my darling and none other, that
had picked up on the drenched road.
My little child had wandered out to meet
"daddy" and the doll, while her mother
was at work, and whom they were. lamenting
as one dead. l thanked heaven on my
knees before them all. 1t is not much Of
story, neighbors, but think of it often in
the nights, and wonder how 1 could bear to
live now if had not stopped when | heard
the cry for help upon the road, the little
baby cry, hardly louder than squirrel;
chirp.
That's Dolly yonder with her mother in
the meadow, and girl worth saving
think, (but then, I'm her father, and partial,
may be)-the prettiest and sweetest thing
this side of the Mississippi.

A Memorable Interview.

One of the most memorable and impor-
tant interviews which ever took place be-
tween two individuals in this world, was held
on raft in the middle of the river Nieman,
at the little town of Tilsit, in Prussia. At
one o clock precisely, on the 25th of June,
1907, boats put off from opposite sides of
the stream and rowed rapidly toward the
raft. Out of each boat stepped single in
dividual, and the two met in a small wooden
apartment in the middle of the raft, while
cannon Numbered from either shore, and the
shouts of great armies drawn up upon either
bank drowned the roar of artillery. The
two persons were the Emperors Napoleon
and Alexander, and the history of the time
tells us that they met to "arrange the desti-
MES of. mankind" And the hastily con-
structed raft, on which the interview took
place, will be remembered as long as the
story of great conquests and mighty revolu-
tons can interest the mind of man. The
conference lasted but two hours; it was en-
tirely private between the two EmperorS, and
yet it was fraught with momentous conse-
quences to millions. 1t was one of the great
crises 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 hundred years beyond
the treaty of Tilsit, and we can find pri-
vate conference between two individuals Of
far more momentous and lasting Importance
than that between Napoleon and Alexander
This more ancient interview was not watched
with eager expectancy by great armies; it
was not hailed by the thunders of cannon
and the shouts of applauding thousands; it
was not arranged beforehand by keen and
watchful agents guarding the interests and
safety of the two that were to meet 1t was
in a private house, at 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 with Nicodemus, there have gone
forth beams of light and words of power to
the ends of the earth. The plans formed
by Napoleon and Alexander at Tilsit, we're
reversed and defeated long ago, and it is
impossible to trace their influence in the con-
dition of European nations to-day. The
words spoken by Jesus to his wondering and
solitary listener that night have already
changed and glorifed the destiny of immortal
millions, and they have more influence now
than in any previous age; and they are
destined to go on increasing in power, until
thew shall be received as the measure of
life and love by every nation under heaven.

The Sunday Stone.

In one of the English coal mines there
is constant formation of limestone, caused
by the trickling of water through the rocks
This water contains great many particles
of lime, which are deposited in the NINE
and, as the water passes of, these become
hard and firm limestone. This stone would
always be white like marble, were it not
that men are working in the mines, and, as
the black dust rises from the coal, it mixes
with the soft lime, and in that way black
stone is formed. In the night, when there
is no coal dust rising, the stone is white,
and again the next day, when the miners
are at work, another black layer is formed,
and so on, alternately, black and white,
through the week until Sunday comes
Then, if the miners keep the Sabbath, a
much larger layer of white stone will be
formed than before. There will be the white
stone of Saturday night, and the whole of
Sunday, so that every seventh day the white
layer is about three times as thick as any
of the others But, if they work on the
Sabbath, they see it marked against them
on the stone. Hence the miners call it
"The Sunday Stone"
Perhaps many who now break the Sab
bath would try to spend it better, if there
was "Sunday Stone" where they could
see their unkept Sabbaths with their black
marks. Remember the Sabbath day to
keep it holy"

The Bears Paw and the Little Boys Prayer

A little boy, who was warmly attached tc
missionary, was much alarmed on hearing
that in the country to which the missionary
was appointed there were fierce bears, who
were often dangerous to travellers.
One day the child threw his arms around
the neck of the missionary, and said, "You
shan't be missionary; you shan't go"
The missionary demanded, "Why not?"
because the bears will kill you and eat
you. You must not go"
"Oh, but must go" said the good man.
"God calls me to the work; and l must
trust in him and not be afraid. He can
preserve me. You must pray to God for
me that he may keep me from the bears
Will you pray for me?"
eyes" said the little one, 81 will. -
The dear child after this used always to
finish his prayer, both night and morning,
with this brief appropriate petition: "And
please, God Almighty, to keep the mission
airy from the bears"
1t happened that on missionary excur-
sion in North America, when this gentleman
was of the party, they met large savage
bear.
One of their number fred at the bear and
wounded, but did not kill him; on which
the animal turned on the missionary with
great fury, and had just caught him, when
another shot laid him dead.
Calling to mind the prayers of his little
friend, the missionary had one of the paws
cut off the animal, which he sent home; and
we have been told that it has now silver
plate attached to it, with an inscription re
cording the circumstances, and is preserved
in the family as trophy and token of the
power of prayer.-MSssionary News.

crack become closed.

Shadows fitting Ger the ife-path,
Dimming many a ray,

In the lives of all;

He would hold us,
And not let us "fall.n

In the sunny light,
That we forget

And after that the night.

Till the work is done.

And daily follow me;'

sacraments, are green pastures, where the

UNcoNvERTED TEAoHERs.-It is ques-
ton of supply and demand. Get the good
ones if you can; if you cannot, get the
best you can. But there is great respon-
sibility resting on the superintendent. In
the fifteen years I have been superintendent,
I have admitted seventy-two unconverted
teachers. Out of that seventy-two, seven
ty-one were brought to Christ; the other,
his father took away. So, if you have to
employ an impenitent teacher, leave no stone
unturned to bring him to Jesus, and you
will succeed. 1t is impossible for any one
to continue teaching a child the truths of
the Gospel, under the eye of holy, faith
full superintendent, and not himself feel
their power; he will either give up the work
entirely, or submit himself to Christ.
