A SMALL BCslNEss In a letter to the
New York Observer, DR.. Prime supplies
some curious information in regard to
meanncss to ministers. Among well au
thenticated cases are the following:
A preachers wife was invited to visi,
a Week among the people, and the price
Of her board was deducted from his sal
ary. A missionary, with a family and
S4OO year, cultivated little garden
the secretary one day asked him wha,
the vegetables were worth. Supposine
the question one Of mere curiosity, he
assented to the estimate Of S1S. The
amount was deducted from his salary.
At donation party paper Of pepper
was estimated at two cents, and deducted
from his salary. So, on a like occasion,
were ten cents, the value of two fans. A
stranger went to an Episcopal church in
Maryland, and liked the sermon so well
that he left five dollars with the vcstry
man for the rector. Deducted from sal
airy. Dr. Prime once preached for a
clergyman who had sickness and death
in his house, and declining the custen,a-
ry fee, told member of the consistory
to give it to the afflicted brother The
afflicted brother never got the money. A
minister preached extra sermons at q
watering place hotel, and the boarders
made up q purse for him. Amount de.

POETRY.
DON. Forget the Old Folks.


Don't forget the old folks.
Love them more and more.
As they, with unshrinking feet,
a ear the shining shore.
Let your words be tender,
Loving, soft and slow;
Let their last days be the best
They have ever known below.
Don forget poor father,
With his failing sight.
With his locks once thick and brown,
Scanty now and white;
Though he may be childish.
Still do you be kind
Think Of him as years ago,
With his master mind
Don't forget dear mother,
With hor furrowed brow,
Once as lair, smooth aud white
As the driven snow:
Are her steps uncertainf
Is her hearing poory
Guide her gently till she stands
Safe at heavens door.
Don't forget the old folks,
Love them more ard more.
As they. with unshrinkinG feet,
Near the shining shore.
Let your words be tender,
Loving. soft and slow, --..
Let their last days be the best
They have known below.

Meeting Of Satanic and Bag Tsae--an
diam StOicissn Olives Away.


ST. Louis, September 30.-Satanta, chic
of the Kiowa Indians, and Big Tree, another
Notable chief of tho same tribe, who have
been temporarily released from their prison
in Texas, arrived here to-day i'll custody
and were taken to the Everett House, where
other Indians were stopping. During the
day council was held. The meeting Of ST.
tanta and Big Tree was one of the most at
tecting scenes in Indian history. Tho ordi
alary stoiclsm gave entirely away, and they
4.ueged and kissed each other, and cried like
children.
Satauta made n speech, IN which he snid he
felt like one risen from the dead. He re-
ierred to the talk he hat, hadwith Governor
Davis, Of Texas, who told him he must work
hard for peace, md influence his people. If
he did this he should be released. He wanted
his people and ali other Indians to be at
peace with the whites; to let Texas alone,
aud not 60 Oh the war-path.
1t Is not intended to take Satanta and Big
Tree to Washington. but they will probably
be placed in the custody of the United
States Marshal and held subject to orders
from Washington. There is strong desire
on the part of the Indians that Sat.nta be
pardoned; and 1t is probable, if he is, almost
any desired terms can be made with them.
