How a PRAYER WAS ANswERED.-Last
Summer, with my wife and children, and
a careful driver, at ten o'clock at night |
was creeping up gorge in the Green
Mountains, behind pair of high-spirited
horses. On one side was a declivity of
four or FIVE hundred feet, as | well knew.
and on the other one of eight or ten feet
at least. 1t was actually so dark that /
could not see my hand before my eyes, for
[ tried it, | could neither see the horses
nor the road.
4 little deviation from the track would
plunge US down the terrible declivity. 1t
was situation more than usually serious.
At last l closed my eyes, and prayed as
always do when feel that [ have done all.
and with this can feel there Is nothing
more for me 20 DO. [ prayed that God
would not only save Us from evil, but
from the fear OF it.
How long [ may have been doing it. |
do not know, but as l opened my eyes the
soft, white food of the light of an aurora
borealis had crept over every thing, a sor.
Of pale, supernatural light there lay the
road plain before Us, and we drove on as
merrily as though it had been day. There
was nothing supernatural in it. but it was
10 me as If | had heard the voice Of the
Son OF Man speaking 10 me.-C. H. Hill,

How does such an illustration find Its
analogy in human life His own iniqui
ty,' saith the Scripture shall take the
wicked himself, and he shall be holden
with the cords Of his SIN" There is deep
and awful mystery in the downward
progress of souls, when he who once was
the master Of sin becomes the '' slave of
sin. Alas, there are scores of men in
every neighborhood who would give all
they have to begin life again. There was
a time when they never intended to be
vicious but step by step they lowered
themselves. Shame, truth, self-respect
died. The lowest elements of their nature
first were freely INDUCED, then became
importunate, then exacting, then domi-
neering, then uncomfortable.

NAEk TwAIN On WOMAN SUFFRAGE.-
Mark Twain says when women frame laws
the frs thing they will do will be to enact
l. That all men should be at home at
10 p. m, without fail.
> That married men should bestow
considerable attention upon their own
wives.
,. That it should be a hanging oftense
to sell liquor in saloons. and that fines and
acknowledgements should follow in such
places.
I. That the smoking Of cigars TO
excess should be forbidden, and the smok-
ing OF pipes utterly prohibited
). That the wife should have the title
of her own property when she marries
man that hasn't any.
Such tyranny as this, lays Mark "Re
could never stand. Our free souls could
never endure such degrading thraldom
Women 90 away. Seek not to beguile us
of our impartial privileges. Content
yourselves with your little feminine trifes
your babies, your benevolent societies,
your knitting-and let your natural bosses
do the voting Stand back-you will be
wanting to 90 to the war next We will
let you teach school as much rs you want
to, and pay you halfprice too, but beware !,
We don't want you to crowd Us too much. "

Al night, whatever the weather be,

And cross the court yard damp and dark.

And now at the old mans side ne stand-,
His voice is checry, uis heart spauds,

Oh the fire Of fdSots, about old days,
And CARDINAL Mazarin and the Froude.
And the Cardinals neces fair and fond,
And what they did, and what they said.
When they heard his Eminence was dead.
And after pause the old man says,
His mind still coming back gain
To the one sad thought that haunts his brain
" Are there any tdmy7 from over sea:
All, why has that wild boz gone from me =
And the Curate answers, looking down.

JAPANEsE JUsIcE.-' In Japan, the
simple repression Of common offenses Is
marked with ferocity, from beginning tc
end the bloc hound Of the police falls
upon an accused person like vulture on
his prey The bamboo is the necessary
accompaniment of the examinations; the
indictment is presented at length to the
prisoner, and If he does not reply as the
Judge desires 4 rain of blows falls upon
his shoulders. Wo to him, if he be sus-
pected of lying, or of screening himself
by denials, La such a case he is made to
kneel upon pieces of hard wood and in
this position stone weights are piled upon
his thighs until the blood gushes from the
SKIN
In the eyes OF japanese Judge, the
accused is always held to be guilty. The
tribunal desires victims, and the police
agents are its purveyors Twenty to thirty
prisoners are brought into the hall of JUS
tice at the same time all wear the same
costume large mantle eff blue cotton,
and no other article of dress. As they are
not allowed TO shave or comb their hair, a
few days are enough 10 give them the ap-
pearance of filthy creatures, for whom one
would feel a sentiment of contempt or dis
gust They sleep crouched upon the flag
stones with which the prison is paved yet
those who arc able to pay may obtain from
the jallor one OF more mats and a wadded
covering. Rice Is their only food The
most absolute silence Is imposed upon them.
and this rule is only broken when one OF
their numbers has been condemned to death,
and the soldiers come to carry him away
His companions are then allowed to utter,
together and with all the strength Of their
voices, one long despairing cry after which
the silence becomes more horrible than
ever.
The punishmeuts provided by Japanese
law are ollyimprisonment acco m panied with
corporeal infections, or death The theft
of less sum than forty azibus (about
twenty dollars), is punished by branding.
In place of hot iron, the japanese make
use of lancet. with which they effect an
incision Of certain form on the left arm
and make it indelible with powder. The
prisoner thruSts his arm through hole il
the wall, and a surgeon in the next room
performs the operation. The branding
in the case of a hardened criminal, may
be repeated twenty-four times, but the last
marks are then made upon the forehead

PARTING HAIR IN THE MIDDLE.-Effem
mate men have long considered it the thing
to part the hair of their heads in the mid
die, while, on the other hand, dashing
young women, given to masculine ways,
delight to appear with short curly hair
parted at the side. In both eases the par
ties show themselves in their true charac-
ter. 1t would be well if the law allowed
them to change costumes with each other
By Paris letter it appears that this
side parting is to be the fashion. We
doubt if, mainly because such a division
cannot be becoming unless long tresses are
sacrificed, and few Of the bellies will con-
sent to that. We do not deny that a hand
some girl adds to-ean we say her beauty?
no, rather her style-by parting her hair
at the side, but it gives such an air OF
fastness that we should not like the custom
to become general. We are Of the same
opinion in the matter as was the gentle.
