The Scared Tree.

Children, let me tell you ofa tree that
once grew in a world. This tree grew
where there were other trees all around
it. 1t was an oak. When the trunk
was not larger than mans arm, a
large tree fell against and bruised it.
The bark came offo side of the little
tree, but the bark on each side of the
skinned place grew over it, and in two
or three years the tree looked almost as
well as fit had never been skinned.
Many years passed by, and in course of
time this oak became large tree, with
people looked at it and were glad. The
old tree looked as If it might stand a
thousand years. But one night there
came great wind, and blew down
many trees in the forest. The oak we
have been talking of fell too. 1t was
not torn up by the roots, but broken of
near the ground. On examination it
was found to be decayed and hollow
at the ground. It rotted just where it
had be- n bruised when little sapling.
Thus little bruise destroyed q great
tree. lnau -s a ff I lt
Now, children, just what the bruise
did to the tree, sin will do to you. One
little sin, If let alone, will work at the
heart of child until it destroys every
thing good in it. #oH ~ h'o9a
y You have already had your hearts
bruised by sin, but your hearts may be
healed. "A bruised oak cannot be heal
ed SO as to leave no seal, but your hearts
may be healed, nay, will be made new
If you give them to Jesus Christ. Trust
him, children, and have your hearts
made whole.-C Religious Herald. ed e

i The, following anecdote was told
with great glee at dinner by William
", then Duke Of Clarence: 81 was
riding in the park the other day, on
the road between Lexington and Ham
ton-wick, when I was overtaken by a
butchers boy on horseback, with a
tray of meat under his arm. Nice po-
ny, that Of yours, old gentleman, -
said he- Pretty fair,' was my reply.
Mines good 'un too rejoined he,
'and Pll trot you to Hamton-wick for
a pot of beer.' / declined the match, !,
and the butchers boy, as ne stuck his
single spur into his horses side, ex-
claimed with look Of contempt, i
thought you were only a muff." loLu.

!, A .reeentaiIetter from Mr.. Samuel
Bowles TO the Springfield Republican
exposes some ofthe tricks Of the Indian
contractors and spectators, who have
been for a long ilna- praeticipg, their,
dishonest acts In the Sioux country In
connection with the furnishing of sup

have frequently turned In small Texas

pounds each, ,oet Il ,e00 pounds each to
the government for the Indians, and
then stolen them back again, while the

samples of the frauds which are being

Gov. Campbell, of Wyoming Terri
tory, thus speaks in his recent message:
issWomen have voted in the Territory,
served on juriesa and held Office, 1t is
simple justice to say that the women,
entering for the first time In the history
ofiour country upon these new and un-
tried duties, have conducted them
selves in every respect with as much
tact, sound Judgment and good sense
as men. While it would be claiming
more than the facts justify to say that
this experiment, in a limited field, b S
demonstrated beyond a doubt the per-
feet. fitness of women at all times and

The Execution of students.

Havana letters give the details Of the
troubles there, and the execution OF
the eight students, showing that the
only desecration Of the grave of Oasta-
non consisted of breaking the glass
cases covering the niche of the tomb,
and substituting wreaths of garlics in
stead Of fmmortelles. -. - -
AT the court marshal the chaplain
stated that it was only students frol-
ic, and did not deserve severe sentence
but the clamors Of the volunteers over
ruled everything else, and eight were
condemned to death, eleven we're con
demned TO osix years on the chain gang,
nineteen to four years on the same
gang, four to six months Imprisonment.
and only two were liberated. The
sentences were Immediately executed,
those murdered not being. allowed an
hours respite to see their frieuds.
The volunteers raided through the
streets all day, shooting eight Cubans.
Business was entirely suspended, and
quiet was only partially restored after
the execution. -. =. : :. ~.
