Old Pete's Conscience,

The colored brother who is CON
scious of the infirmities of man, and
aspires to higher and purer life, is
seldom without words to express hi;
emotions,a s,albeit sometimes in phrase;
NOR edirect and blunt than elegant.
So it was with an old negro named
Pete, who was very much troubled
about his sins. Perceiving him one
day with a downcast look, his master
asked him the cause.
ooh, massa, Pm such a great sin
ner?"
'But, Pete" said his master, "yOu
are foolish to take it so much t.
heart. You never see me troubled
about my sins"

The Greatest Cattle Raiser in the
World.

~ SAANAs
Samuel w. Allen, a native Of Ken
lucky, who has resided from infancy
in Texas, and is now a citizen of
Harris county, in that State, is the
largest cattle raiser in the world. He
is the owner of the following ranches;
l. Ranch Grande-the largest on the
continent-embraces an area eighty
miles long and forty wide, and lies
between the Colorado and Nevada
rivers, extending through the three
counties of Natigorda, Lavacca and
jackson. On this one ranch alone
Mr.. Allen herds 10000 cattle. 2.
The Home Ranch, situated in Harris
county, pastures 10000, and includes
an area Of a little less than half that
OF the Ranch Grande. 3. The San
Bernardo Ranch is in Fort Bend coun-
ty, and pastures $4,000, making a
grand total of two hundred and fifty
thousand (25O,O00) head Of cattle
owned and handled by oas nan, and
subsisted and fattened upe-. The na-
tive grasses and spontaneous growth
of a comparatively small section of
the great territory of Texas. Be
sides this prodigious number Of cat
tie, there are three thousand horses,
which are kept constantly in use by
herders and branders, of whom ct
least 400 are employed by Mr. Allen,
at good wages. A. low estimate
of ten dollars per head, the value of
Mr.. Aliens cattle may be put down
at $2,5OO,O0O; of his horses at
100000; making a total valuation of
2,560,OOO. Sixty thousand calves
are branded by him every year to
keep up this supply. These amounts
represent the capital of the chief
meat purveyor of beef for the city of
New Orleans and the adjacent eoun-
ties of the gulf coast, without esti-
mating the value of his lands, which
are more than ducal in extent if not
in value.-K KentWcEy Y0emdn.

Helninr Gods Greatness


A little girl seeing the servant
throw the crumbs into the fire, said,
"Don't you know that God takes
care of the sparroWs2"
'tIf God takes care of them we
need not trouble ourselves about
them" was the careless reply.
"But," said the little girl, Il had
rather be ike God and nelp him to
take care of the little birds, than
scatter or waste the food he gives
u.s."
So she carefully collected what
was left of the crumbs and threw
them out of the window, In short
time several little birds flew eagerly
to the spot and picked up the crumbs
she had scattered. After this, she
every daV collected in a little basket
the crumbs and bits of bread that
had fallen around the table, and
threw them under the window for
the little birds; and during all the
winter these little creatures came
regularly after each meal to partake
of the food thus provided for their
support. How beautiful it was to
see this little girl trying to "help
God" as she said, and thus early
learning to be kind to the helpless
of Gods creatures.

THE GOBLIN CAT.
A BALLAD-DY ..rETER BELL"


"Come hither, little boy,
A sixpence bright this bit is;
I'll give it all to thee if thou
Wilt drown these little kitties."
Quoth thus the good old housewife she,
And thus the boy quoth he;
"Lady, I'll drown them willingly,
If mine the bit may be. t.. .r.
Then in a bag she thrust each kit,
And tied it with tow-string;
And sped the boy with bag and bit
Like arrow from bow-string. FF
He stood upon the riverside,
That boy with sunny brow;
"Me'0, neso," the little kittens cried
He, mocking, cried, "tne-O1o."
Then, purring, rubbed against his fest
The poor old pus5ie-mother, #'-.,
As if to say, "Sweet lad, nay, nay!
o, spare theml I've none other"
No pity had that little lad,
lie did not care a feather;
But in the sack he thrust the cat,
And drowned them all together. '..'.
Then felt that little boy that he
Had done a dreadful deed:
And SO he turned with brow that burned,
And fed with all his speed r.sH3't
Into tempting candy-shop, rti..fi-
To buy both this and that;
But for his bit he naught could get
Except candy-eat.
Ue put it in his pocket deep, s.. r,...
And . the good-wife ran:
"Oh, what's the matter why dost weer,
My boy-my little man?'' ..4
"Oh, lady, lady, have done
An awful deed, 1 see,
Those little innocents to drown
Who ne'er did harm to mel"
Then from his pocket swelled shrek,
A CHASTITY, horse "Rieolg"
And fear did blanch his ruddy cheek,
And pale that lady's brow;
As forth out sprung goblin grim,
A cat with wofnl wall,
Six spectral kittens from her mouth,
Suspended by the tail.
Then turned and fled that wife with dread
The boy, he followed after;
While fierce pursued the goblin brood
With shrieks of feline laughter.
From morn till night they kept their figh;
From night till morn fed they;
And if old beldame's tales be true,
They run unto this day.
Nor ever shall they find rest,
Nor tarTy in their flight
So suffer those who in the woes
OF cats and kits delight

"Oh! I've got somebody to lore
meP' the child answered earnently
as ifit we're heaven come down on
earth.
That was all the secret. For want
1of love that little ones life had been
so cold and desolate that she had
lost childhood's faith and hope. She
could not at first believe in the reali
ty of joy or kindness for her. 1t was
this certainty that some one loved
her and desired her affection that
| lighted the child's soul and glorlfied
her face.
Mary has since been adopted by
wealthy people, and lives in beau
tiful home in New England; and
Wore than all its comfort and beau
ty, running like golden thread thro'
it ali, she finds the love of her father
and mother.
Shall we who have many to love,
and to love US, refuse to be COM
forted, to see any value and use in
life, any work for our hands to do,
because one Of our treasures may be
removed from our sight-from our
home and care to better?
And oh! shall we let any of these
little ones go hungering for affec-

before they find somebody to love
them ?''-BrttOn (Pa.l Lille Thinas.

Somebody Loves Me.

Two or three years ago, the Su-
perintendent of the Little Wander
er's Home in Boston received one
morning a request from the judge
that he would come up to the court
room. He complied directly, and
found there a group of seven little
girls, ragged, dirty and forlorn, be-
yond what he was accustomed to see.
The judge pointed to them, and
said: "NIr. T. can you take any
of these?'
"Certainly; I'll take them al" was
the prompt reply.
"Alli What in the world can you
do with them alp"
'Pll make women of them"
The judge singled out one, even
worse in appearance than all the
rest, and asked again: "What can
you do with this one?"
"Pll make a woman of her." Mr..
- repeated, firmly and hopefully.
He took them all home. They were
washed and dressed, and provided
with supper and beds. The next
morning they went into the school
room with the rest of the children.
Mary was the name of the little girl
whose chance for better things the
Judge thought was small.
During the forenoon the teacher
said to Mr.. +, in reference to
her; 81 never saw a child like that;
I have tried for an hour to get a sin
gle smile, and failed
Mr.. r said afterward himself
that her face was the saddest he had
ever seen, sorrowful beyond expires
sion; yet she was very little girl
only seven or eight years old.
After school he called her into his
Office and said pleasantly, ''Mary, l
have lost my little pet. 1 used to
have a little girl here that would wait
on me aad sit on my knee, and 1
loved her very much. A kind lady
and gentleman adopted her, and she
went to live with them. l miss her,
and l should like you to take her
place and be my little pet; will you?"
A CLEAN of light fitted over the
poor child's face, as she began to
understand him. He gave her ten
cents, and told her that she might
go to store near by and get some
candy. While she was gone he took
Two or three newspapers, tore them
in pieces, and scattered them about
the room. When she returned, in a
few minutes he said to her: "Mary,
will you clean up my Office for mef
pick up these papers, and make it
look real nice"
! She went to work with a will, A
little more of this sort of manage
ment-treating her just like 4 kind
father Would-Wrought the desired
change. She went into the school
room after dinner with so changed q
look and bearing that the teacher
was astonished. The child's face
was absolutely radiant; and hall
fearful of some mental wandering
; she went up to her and said, "Mary

American Equality.

At the reception of WiIkie Collins
at the Lotus Club, New York, on
Saturday night, a remarkable scene
followed the introduction of Charles
Bradlaugh. He referred pOintedly
to the fact that class distinctions in
England were so great that this
American club had given him on
foreign soil the first opportunity of
meeting 3 countryman whom he was
so glad to honor, and even to say a
word in his praise. There was no
club in England" said he, "would
give me an equal privilege" The
speech was received with a wild out
burst of enthusiasm. Prolonged
cheers were given, and even after
Mr.. Bradlaugh had returned to his
seat at the table beside Mr.. Collins
the crowd continued cheering, until
he came forward and spoke briefly
again.

Evil of Interruption in IntelIectua
Work

Few people realize the full evil NJ
an interruption, few people know ali
| that is implied by it. Florence Niobt-
lingale says: "If we consider as With

| composes some nervous matter, that

the brain while it is in the act Of de-
strOying nervous matter by thinking.
is calling upon it to make q new ex-
ertioD, we shall remember that we
are doing positive injury by inter
ruptiOn- Ii the invalid is forced by
his avocations to continue occupa-
tions requiring much thinking, the
injury is doubly great. If you offer
Ine brain a thought, especially one
requiring decision abruptly, you
40 1t real, not fancifui. iniurv.
This rule applies to the well ouite a.
much as to the sick. I have never
known persons who exposed them
selves for years to constant iDte--
ruptiOn who did not muddle awav
their intellects by it at last. The
process, with them, may be accom-
plished without pain. With the sick,
pain gives warning Of the injury"
interruption is an evil to the reader
which must be estimated very differ
emily from ordinary business inter
ruptions. The great question about
interruption is not whether it COM
pels you to divert your attention to
other facts, but whether it compeIs
you to tune your whole mind to an
other diapasOn. Suppose = reader
perfectly absorbed in his author, an
author belonging very likely to an
0ther age and another coVilization
different from ours. If you
IRE reading in the daytime in a house
where there are women and children,
Or where people can fasten upon you
Tor pottering details Of business, you
1ay be sure that you viii not be able
10 get to the end Of the passage with
1ut in some way or other being rude
Y awakened from your dream, and
being brought back into
he common world. The loss intel
ectually is greater than one who had
lot suffered from it could imagine.
People think that an interruption is
merely the unlocking of an electric
hahn, and that the current viii flow,
7hen the chain is hooked on again,
S it did before. To the intellectual
ad imaginative student an inter-
uptiOn is not that; it is the destrue-
ion of a picture.
