Selling Out His Interest.

\ company ofmen gathered in a
village grocery. They discussed
the sentiments presented at relig-
ious meeting the evening previous.
4 young man said, loudly, "Such
preaching has bnt little influence;
would sell my interest in Jesus for
five dollars
An aged man, not a professor,
ssritf,, VIII you really sell your in
terest in Jesus for five dollars:''
''Yes, sir"
For time and eternity:'
''Yes, sir"
Il will buy it."
''Very well, give me the money"
"When l make a bargain" said
the old man, Il have it settled in
black and white. Go to the desk
and write with pen and ink that you
convey to me for time and eternity
all your interest in Jesus Christ.
The moment you sign the paper the
money is yours"
Quietly opening his pocket book,
the old man drew forth a five dollar
bill. But the young man faltered.
Brought to the test, he found that
Jesus was more to him than he had
thought. He was soon after con-
verted.

A poor wounded soldier lay dy,
ing on the battle field, and com.
rade bending over him, urged him
to.pray for his souls salvation.
-."Perhaps." he said, hoping tc
touch his heart, E.your dear mother
may be praying for you at this very
moment"
With sneer on his dying lips he
said, "My mother never prays," and
in a few moments he was gone.
Small hope is there of the conver-
sion of any one who can say Of his
mother, "She never prays."
How agonizing, above alf other
woes, must be the remorse of a
mother who has thus taken her little
ones by the hand and led them down
to eternal burnings.
A mother, who had sneered at re
ligion, came to her dying hour, and
lookingTup from her restless pillow
on the group of weeping sons and
daughters about her, she said:
''My children, l have been leading
you in the wrong road all your lives;
now find the broad roads leads on
to destruction. / did not believe it
before. Oh, seek to serve God, and
try to find the gate of heaven, though
You may never meet your mother
there And SO in clouds and dark
ness set her sun of life.
1t was the voice of his mother
praying earnestly for his salvation
that first led Samuel Budget to
think seriously upon the subject;
and the world over, it has been pray
ing mothers who have sent forth
praying sons and daughters to labor
for the worlds redemption. No
matter how humble her sphere, this
is an influence which the lowliest
mother can exert. Happy is that
child who feels, wherever his feet
wander, my mother is praying for
me-"

Secret of Beautiful Character.

Young ladies and young men of
taste and high aspirations sometimes
over look the very best method of
self-culture. Books on etiquette,
guides to conversation, especially as
sociating with well-mannered peo-
pie, have their place. But after all,
is not the Bible the finest treasury
for help in even good breeding, and
in those agreeable ways that last the
longest.
The writer has in mind two per-
sons-the one an old gentleman, the
other lady. The first acquired all
the honors of the schools, received
almost every honorary scholastic tt
tie, was an acknowledged savan in
science, known alike in Europe and
America. Up to the last, land he
lived to be between eighty and nine
ty) he retained the brightness of
his mind, his wit, his rare good ma
ture, and was the most entertaining
of companions. Every. Sunday he
taught the Bible; and every day he
delighted in studying it. In his
Bible class was a lady, a wife and
mother, charming in person, most at
tr;lctiye in manners, her face illumin-
ed with the smile of intelligence,
who studied the Bible with this
teacher every Lords day from the
formation of the church to which
they both belonged, until they went
up higher.
How much of the true courtesy,
the winning demeanor, the benevo-
lent, beaming countenance, the con-
sistent, equable Christian life, the
friendly consideration for others, the
real happiness they seemed always
to feel and to diffuse where they
went, is to be attributed to this con-
slant lifelong mot merely reading,
butt enthusiastic study of the Book
from Heaven:-Tbe Congregation

A Costly Fence.

There are two men now living in
Medora, Indiana, who five years ago,
went to law over a fence, where the
amount in litigation did not exceed
twenty-five dollars. The case is at
present before the Supreme Court,
and the costs thus far amount to
three thousand dollars. That rail
fence is secondary matter now,
and these two individuals are fight
ing over the costs. Either of them,
We suppose, would gladly pay the
twenty-five dollars, and get rid of
the case.

That the virtuous person, or he
who performs his duty by obeying
the will of God, enjoys much happi-

Church and State in Prussia.

The official Provincial Correspondent
again speaks on the religious question in
Germany. "The question for the gov
ernment," it says, is not The fecogni-
ton or the non-recoenition of articles of
faith as such but this is the question.
whether within the domain in which it
legislates it should or could support a
doctrine which it considers destructive
of the relations between Church and
State" In other words, the German
government at present considers the in
fallibility solely from the political point
If view. If it should appear irreconcil-
able with the constitution, then, of
course, the government cannot allow it
to be proclaimed. In Munich, also, we
have official or semi-official prounce-
ments on the same subject. An article
in Bavarian paper contrasts the con-
duct of the Bavarian government with
that of the Prussian government in ret
erence to the attendance of children on
the religious instruction of anti-infalli-
bllists. Herr Won Muller, it says, tells
parents in Prussia either that they must
send their children to he taught by DR..
Wollman, whom some of them consider
a hereto, or their children must go with
out any instruction at all. The Bavarian
government, in similar circumstances,
acted quite differently for as it allowed
all anti-infallibilist parents to send
their children to anti infallibilist teach
ers, it equally permitted infallibilist pa.
rents to choose infallibilist teachers.
This, argues the Bavarian Journal is re-
ligious freedom the action of Herr Won
Muller is persecution for conscience
sake

The gentlemen OF the road in Greece,
Notwithstanding the efforts OF the
authorities, appear to carry on their
raids upon the purses and persons OF
travellers and others, with as much dill
gence ns ever. The latest reported out
rage was upon poor shepherd boy,
whom they held for ransom. As his
parents wcic only able TO send the rob-
bers portion of the heavy exaction.
they received in return but q portion Of
the son, the brigands retaining the boys
nose and ears. The name OF the chief
of the band engaged in this affair is
Takos, who, though pursued by the
Greek soldiers, succeeded in escaping
and at last accounts, was enjoying the
mountain breezes OF Thessaly Another
brigand chief, named Cessna Coureme-
nos, notorious for his numberless crimes
had the misfortune to be captured lately.
At his trial all the charges against him
were clearly established, and those un.
acquainted with the social condition OF
that classical land, would suppose that
quick punishment followed; but not So
The enlightened jury acquitted the cul-
prit on the ground that his crimes
against Greece, had been expiated by
his having killed three Turks IN Crete.
The Hellenic authorities, however, not
taking the same patriotic view of the
sacrifice on the national altar of trio of
the traditional enemies of Greece, de-
clined to liberate the modern Spartan
hero, having other charges to try him
upon, and he has probably ere this, been
made head shorter, unless popular in
clination to look upon the killing of
three Mussulmen as full atonement
for the most atrocious crimes be too
strong for the Government to withstand.
Any of our tourists who are tired of
the ordinary routes and sigh for piquan-
cy in their wanderings, might take a
turn among the mountains of Hellas.
To those with plenty of spare cash, and
to whom the choice of losing nose and
ears would be no encouragement, the
expedition might prove more than ordi-
narily interesting.
