A young girl in NewtOnville, Massachu-
setts, who had become deranged by religi-
GUS excitement left her home late at night,
telling her little brother that she was going
to kill herself, in order to get quickly into
heaven. The boy informed his parents, the
neighborhood was aroused, and thorough
search was made for the body. At last it
hea lthy. She had climbed in at window,
a fter wandering half the night, and was
stu mbering peacefully. Cases of religious
ma MIA, however. resulting more seriously,
are now common. A man in Peoria, Hi
nois, and a woman in Charlesville, Massa-
chusetts, are the latest converts who have
kill ed themselves.
A traveller, writing of his Oriental expert
ences, says: Lone of the most pathetic in
to my knowledge is related as positive
fact. While the children of the Abeih
school were playing together one day at
recess two small girls fell into pleasant
dispute as to the size of a certain object
plaything, perhaps. One said, ooh, it was
SO rery little and the other asked, How
little T. Then the missionary looked out OF
the window, and heard her answer, Why,
little wee thing Then the other pressed
her still further. Well, hoac little Y to which
the girl replied, unconscious of the poetry
or the pathos of her comparison, AS little
as was the joy of my father on the day l
was bornv"

How much regard can a man

opinion that in the future his bills
will be thoroughly overhauled.
