Chairman.
Mr.. Cureil dissents from favorable re-
port on this bill. The state of demoraliza-
ton existing in the country demands the
most stringent measures for the protection
of property as we'll as life, and it the law
does not give the property owners IN one
State sufficient protection, they will take the
law into their own hands, and the penalty
awarded to trespassers by individual justice,
will be much more severe than that now
provided by law.

sleeper was insulting while he was preach.
ing to him, the Elder vindicated her con.
duct as right, very much to her gratifca-
ton. The brother who was the object of
her rage remarked afterward that the
crazy woman had cured him of his bad
habit; for" said he, "when l begin to
feel drowsy, the thought of that hymn
book about my head banishes all of my
sleepy incinations" Crazy people are
apt to enjoy themselves in making them
selves useful in some such way as this
An old preventive of drowsiness was a
pinch of snuff. But it has been suggest
ed, as more in accordance with the pro-
prieties of the present age, to put the
snuff into the sermon.

Significance of q Wink.

Smith the auctioneer, is popular man
a wit and gentleman. No person is
offended at what he says, and many a
hearty laugh has been provoked by his
sayings. He was recently engaged in
the sale of venerable household furniture
and fxings. He had just got to @ Going,
going, and a half, going" when he saw
a smiling countenance on agricultural
shoulders wink at him.
A wink is as good as a nod to blind
horse or a sharp-sighted auctioneer; so
Smith winked and the man winked, and
Smith kept Going, going" with lot
of glass ware, stovepipes, carpets, pots

Novel Cures for Sleeping in Meeting.

A STORY has been told of good.
IN natured simpleton, who, after hear
ing his minister reprove the drowsy ones
in his congregation, concluded to make
himself useful by applying remedy of
his own contrivance. So when he went
to meeting the next time he took some
chestnuts in his pocket, and when bald
headed brother who sat near him began
to nod, he threw one at his head, very
much to the annoyance of the minister
who paused and looked very imploringly
at him, to whom the simpleton responded
very offciously, " You mind your preach
ing; I'll keep him awake"
l will not vouch for the truth of this
story, but one well authenticated, and
very similar to this, was recently related
by an eyewitness. In a country town
containing Baptist Church, there lived
brother who was in the habit of sleep
ing so hard in meeting as to disturb the
congregation. There lived also in the same
place crazy woman who had not been
allowed to 60 to church for many years
AS she seemed very anxious to attend
once more, the Elder prevailed on her
friends to let her go, at the same time
vouching for her good behavior. She
sat in front of the sleeping brother, whose
nasal organs were becoming unpleasantly
active till she could endure it no longer
So, rising suddenly from her seat, she
seized hymn book and hurled it at the
disturber of her contemplations, saying to
the Elder, who looked reprovingly at her
from the pulpit, +" Go on, Elder, go on;
will take care of the sleepy ones" Her
friends chided her afterwards for her
unceremonious conduct. But when she
appealed to the Elder, whom she said the

Mother is Dead.
S NTOTHFR is DEADw What

," MOTHFR is DEADw What
Nl volume of thought do these
sad words express. What pen can bring
forth the agony of mind when this sad
truth is realized. The heart shrinks
back, and denies to intruding expression
a knowledge of its inward woes.
The Imagination of another fails to
picture them, and when we ourselves, who
have sustained this loss, turn our eyes in
ward for moment to glance at the naked
reality, we are wont to disbelieve it and
repel the overfowing flood of sorrow
which ever and anon, like an ocean flows
to and fro upon our hearts, until exhausted
we sink into lethargy, from which when
we awaken, it seems as if we ourselves
had passed in another world, in which
everything seems tinged with an unnatural
gloom. 1t is sad, it is very sad to know
that mother is no more.
The sun will shine, the birds will sing,
the flowers will bloom in seeming mock
cry, the same as before-but there is a
void in the family-her seat is vacant
and as we gather around the family hearth
then we seem to deny the truth to our
selves, and listen as tho we heard her
coming footsteps. But alas! she comes
not. Mother is dead Away from our
home have they laid her in the cold ground
the clammy dew-damp of death upon her
brow. She is shut out of our sight for
ever-forever No, not forever; the light
Of heaven filings a brilliant hope over our
sorrow,with its aid we penetrate the dark
est clouds of grief and look forward to
the bright future with His aid. Death
is not death it has not the sting the
world would have us think. 1t is but
the transfer Of the soul from this, its
trausitory home, to eternal bliss; it is but
the passage of the storm which leaves
the rainbow of hope to cheer its blighted
subjects.
We love to linger around mothers
grave, and muse upon the happy past
when she was with us. We love to think
of the merry Christmas and other holi-
days, and although to the semblance of
them is linked the sad truth that they
can never come again-although its tears
open new wounds in our hearts, yet we
are willing to suffer these pangs that we
may keep ever fresh in our memories that
happy past, now forever gone.
If the memory of these partings is
so painful, how important that we should
live in such manner that we may meet
in heaven never again to know the pain
of separation.
