"Fifty Dollars or Fifty Gents ?,

There is on the borders of Connecti-
cut small town which, though weak
and feeble, still with the help of the
=" Home Missionary Society" supported a
minister, and maintained regular divine
worship.
About the time when it became neces-
sary to pay the minister's salary, there
moved into the place man who gained
his living by carting coal and other SIM
liar labor. 1t was noticed that this man
was very regular in his attendance at
church, and was never absent from the
prayer-meeting but 10 pecuniary
point of view, he was not considered a
valuable acquisition.
twas the custom, when the salary
was due, for one Of the deacons to col
lect all he could from the people, and to
obtain the balance from the Home Mis-.
sion Society. In accordance with this
custom, one fine morning Deacon A
a man of considerable means and con-
siderable penur.ousness, started forth,
subscription paper in hand, to see how
much he could squeeze out of the parish
for the support of their minister. The
first person he met was the above-men-
toned coal carter moving along the road
with load OF that material. The dea-
con considered within himself that it
might be worth while to ask him to con
tribute (seeing that he was good eort OF
a person, and every little helps, and so
accosted HIM with GOOD morning, Mr..

the same time handing him the subscrip-
tion paper.
The man stopped. stood thoughtfully
moment or two, drew pencil out of
his pocket and with his dirt begrimed
hand headed the list with the sum OF
$50.
The deacon was so taken by surprise
that he could hardly believe the evil
dence of his own eyes; and thinking the
man had made mistake, and not wish
ing to take advantage of him, asked him,
Did you mean that for fifty cents p
The coal-carrier turned and drew him.
self up to his full height, and with great
earnestness replied II do not value the
gospel at fifty cents a year" This an
swer placed the case in new light. The
deacon went Immediately to the pastor,
and related the incident, and said " II
that man can give $50, / can give $3.50. -
The same spirit actuated the rest OF
the church on hearing the story, and in
few days the salary was raised by the
people themselves, without the necessity
of applying for outside aid.
Reader, it becomes you to consider the
question suggested by this Incident
How much do you value the gospel
at p for upon the answer may depend
your fate for eternity. 1t by whole
souled Christianity you prove that you
have consecrated time, influence, money
all that you have and are to the ser vice
of the Master, at that dread hour all
will be well. But if not, then this ques.
ton may well startle you. For accord.
ing to your valuation of the claims Of
Christ here. will be bis valuation OF
services there.-Rehigiotls Herald.

KllIng a cinnamon. Bear.

The Trinity (Csl., Journal of Feb. Is
relates the story of the killing of Gin
namon bear under peculiar circum-
stances. 1t says;
About two miles above Sturdivant's
place on Trinity River, and about half
a mile back from the river, there is
bluff rock about 100 feet high-almost
perpendicular in ascent and fronting
upon small fiat known as Hay-press
Flat There are a number Of openings
10 the rock, leading to caverns within.
One day last week John Day, while
hunting, tracked large bear into one
OF these caves, but not being provided
with torch, did not venture in. A day
or two after, he and his Uncle James l..
Day, having provided themselves with
torches, undertook the perilous task Of
boarding Bruin in his den. The open
ing through which the adventurous hunt
ers made their entrance was about two
and half or three feet high, and eigh-
teen or twenty feet wide. After consid-
erable hunting through several different
caves and passages, their investigations
disclosed the fact that there was crew
ice in the side of the cavern in which
their object had bestowed himself so as
to be almost concealed. Bnt his where
a ahonts mos aacarta;,ad anJ o,, k,nta.s
had taken too many chances al.eady to
flnch, and advanced Immediately upon
the enemy j. L. held his rifle ready
cooked, while John flashed his torch full
in the eyes of the astonished animal
Realizing that all avenues of escape,
were shut off, Bruin, with terrific growls,
undertook the offensive, and rushing
toward the foe, with the instinct of his
kind, reared on his hind legs within two
feet of the hunters. At that moment
j. l.. called to his nephew to raise his
torch so he could see the sight of his
gun. This was done, and the light far
ing full ON Bruins orbs, compelled him
to turn his head to one side. This was
the critical moment, and the senior Day
improved it to discharge, with unerring
aim, the contents of his rifle just AT the
butt of Bruins ear and disjointed his
neck. The bear pitched forward in the
agonies OF death. The hunters were
within his reach and unable to escape.
So close were they that they were caugnt
in his claws and could not help them
selves. Happily they were not injured.
The next thing that presented itself to
the Days was how to get him out. This
they fually accomplished, but not
through the way he went in. Among
the numerous crevices in the rock they
found one that led into larger cave
than the one through which they had
tracked the bear, and 30 they got him
out. On reaching daylight they learn
ed that their prze was u tull-grown cin-
namoD bear of 400 pounds weight. 1t
is generally known that next to the gen.
uine grizzy, the cinnamon bear is the
most dangerous and vicious, either when
pursuing or pursued.

Not Dead Yet.

The New York World does nor
give mp the idea of reviving the
Democratic corpse. 1t says: "These
outsiders who rant for dissolution of
the Democratic organization, would
soon learn, if they could get access to
Democratic audience, that the
party was never less inclined to
adopt or tolerate their notions.
There is general conviction that
the last years campaign was an
egregious blunder. Instead of be.
'ag prepared TO go further in the
same direction, the party recoils from
every experiment Of similar kind
That ill-stsrred experiment never
had anything to recommend it but an
impatient hope of success. The
party will not again foolishly burn
I's fingers by putting them into the
same fire.

Forthcoming Speech of Senator Nor.
ton on Canadian Independence.

WAsHINGToN, April s - Several
paragraphs have appeared in regard
to a speech which Senator Morton
has prepared upon the relations be-
tween Canada and the United States.
The following points may be relied
upon as correct: The speech is d.
rected to the Importance of Canadian
independence. The argument will
be that the connection between Engo
land and Canada retsrds the growth
aud development of the latter; that
emigration from the continent OF Eu-
rope will not 20 TO a British colony !;
that while the connection exists Can
ada will be held liable for any dispute
with England, though she has no
connection with said dispute, aud is,
ia fact, but a hostage for the good
conduct of En- gland; that the con-
nection is no advantage to either, but
= source OF weakness TO both, while
it must always DO cause of irrita-
ton to the United States. With
Canada as an Independent power we
could maintain most amicable rela-
ions and negotiate terms of reel.
procity which can not be entertain
ed while she is British colony that
annexation is an Interior considera-

the hearty consent OF g large MAORI

growth in population, trade, and the
comparison presented with the Unit

The Slave Trade.


The slave trade is Lot yet Danish
ed from the seas, despite the efforts
of Great Britain aud the United
States for more than half a century.
Human fepravity nowhere appears
so persistent and malignant as in
the perpetuation and revival of this
nefarious business. Stopped upon
the western coast of Africa, it
springs up upon the eastern, and the
lmaum of Mrscat carries it on from
port to rort of his donations; it APP
pears with more or less of it's origin
al features in the transportation of
coolies from China, and displays it's
most revolving characteristics in the
accountable traffic which is carried
on throughout the South Pacific, in
British and American vessels.
We are glad to notice that fresh
effort has been made by the Esglis6
Government TO stop this trade with
in the dominions Of the Sultan of
Muscat and that vessels of war are
to be sent, if they have not already
departed, to repress the kidnapping
and sale of the natives of Micronesia.
In these efforts, Great Britain should
have the hearty and efficient Coop
GRAFTON of our government. Tue
moral weight Of the Christian world
is against the slave trade let the
governmental power OF Christian
nations be also thoroughly applied,
and the iniquity can be crushed
speedily.
