SUNDAY REApINa.
THE Lords wall.

About fifty years ago, one bitter January
night, the inhabitants of the old town of
Sleswick were thrown into the greatest dis
tress and terror. A hostile army was
marching down upon them, and new and
fearful reports of the conduct of lawless
soldiery were hourly reaching the place.
In large, commodious cottage dwelt an
aged grandmother, with her widowed
daughter and grandson. While all hearts
quaked with fear, this aged woman passed
her time in crying out to God that he would
"build wall of defence around about
them," quoting the words of an ancient
hymn. oh aHal
Her grandson asked her why she prayed
for thing SO entirely impossible as that
God should build wall about their house
that should hide it, but she explained that
the meaning was that God should protect
her. ~ tN
At midnight the dreaded tramp was
heard. An enemy came pouring in at
every avenue, filling the houses to overflow
ing But while the most fearful sounds
were heard on very side, not even a knock
came to their door, at which they were
greatly surprised. The morning light
made the matter clear for just beyond the
house the drifted snow had reared such a
massive wall that it was impossible to get
over to them.
There" said the old woman, triumph
antly, edo you not see, my son, til at
God could rise up wall around us ?''

So saying he gently laid It over her
shoulders and across her arms. ''Take IL,
madam" said the Judge, sand do not at
tempt to return it, for it was purchased on
purpose for present for you. q
She hastily retired in confusion, hardly
knowing what she did, and took with her
the shawl, worth twelve, instead of ten
dollars. And here were three parties who
had each good things. The landlady had a
good shawl and good lesson to mediate
upon; the gentlemen had good dinner
and a good joke to talk overland the
Judge had good intentions in the joke and
good will and ability to follow up the les
son given. 3 ~

A Touching Incident.

A lady was walking along the street in
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, says the Eagle, when
she met little girl, between two and three
years old, evidently lost, and crying bitter
ly. Taking her by the hand the lady ask
ed her where she was going. "I'm going
down town to find my papa" was the reply
between sobs, of the child. What is
your papa's name?" asked the lady. " His
name is papa" replied the innocent little
thing. "But what is his other name ?''
queried the lady "what does your
mamma call him ?' She calls him papa,
persisted the baby The lady then took
the little one by the hand and led her
along, saying, "you had better come with
me; guess you came from this way."-
" Yes, but don't want to go back, want
to find my papa" replied the little girl,
crying afresh as if her heart would break
" What do you want of your papa?" asked
the lady. 81 want to kiss him." Just
then sister of the child came along look
ing for her and led her away From sub
sequent inquiries it appeared that the
little ones papa, whom she was so earnest
ly in search of had recently died. In her
lonesomeness and love for him she tired of
waiting for him to come home, and had
gone to find him and greet him with the
accustomed kiss.

A Chinese Contribution Box.

Mr. w. Simpson,in a paper on "Chin ese
Architecture, F" read before one of the Eng.
lish societies, describes as follows the
Chinese method of raising money for the
building or repairing of temples
"ln the street of Pekin one day found
man in sort of wooden sentry box.
Large nails had been driven into it, so that
their points projected through. This pre-
vented the man from leaning against the
sides, and the only rest he had was from
sitting ona board within. He was monk,
and never seemed to sleep, for he had a
string with which he might day and
night sound large bell every few minutes,
as sort of advertisement of his purpose.
This was that the benevolent should come
forward with his money; each nail repre-
senting a sum. When any one paid a sum
his name was stuck on piece of paper,
and the nail pulled out, making it more
comfortable for the hermit within. All the
nails represented the necessary amount for
the repair of temple which was close
behind. This is common proceeding for
raising the wind for such purposes. was
told that this monk had been for two years
shut up, and that he would likely be an
other year before he got out of his cocoon
of nails"

. EaB Nothing so strongly indicates the
man of pure and wholesome thought as
habitual purity of speech. By his CONVEX
sation, among his own kind, you may al
ways pretty accurately form an opinion as
to the moral worth of man. 1t is there
where no restraint is supposed to be placed
upon his words, that you discover his true
nature. If he is given to looseness Of dis
course, or IL his mind wanders TO the dis
cussion of subjects prescribed in mixed
company or respectable society, you may
justly mark him as one with whom associa-
tion is undesirable.

HERE are no diseases so facilitating in
Il their effects upon the constitution as the
above, and none more difficult to cure bv the
usual modes of practice. The Fever and Ague
Powders will effect cure in cases of the long
est standing, as well as prove q preventive IN
the forming stages of disease. Being purely
Vegetable, they act with certainty on the dis
ease, totally eradicating it from the system,
and preventing a return at any future period.
Why waste your money and health in trying
every medicine you hear of, when Thompson's
Fever and Ague Powders have never failed to
cure the Chills in any case.
REASONS WHY THEY ONLY SHOULD BE
USED:
Ihetr Reputation Is Established. = Thousands
of testimonials have been received, showing
Ihat these Powders have performed miracles in
curing cases of long standing, many of them
considered hopeless.
Ihere IS no RISK IN Taking Them. = They
contain nothing Injurious, and, therefore cause
none OF those lingering diseases 80 often the re-
SUIT OF the many nostrums of the day. Physi-
clans recommend them as far superior to Out
nine, or any other known remedy, for they leave
she system In healthy state, and the patient
beyond the probability of relapse

The New Pacific Steamship Line.
NEw YoEK, September PA special
says OF the reported new steamship line
to be started in opposition to the Pacific
Mail Company: Last Saturday Capt.
George II. Bradbury. who was Pres
ident Of the Pacific Mail Company du-
ring the short interval between the
stoekwsll and the beginning OF the
Sage administration, sailed for Europe.
He sailed under an assumed name. Those
understood 10 be promoters OF the rival
enterprise say that Captain Bradbury is
to be President Of the new company,
and that he has gone to England for the
purpose Of leasing or purchasing SIX or
seven steamships. After completing his
negotiations the vessels selected will sail
almost Immediately from England, some
going to China and Japan for cargoss
and others coming here, whence they
will 60 to the Pacific. 1t is intended to
establish ssmi.msnthly communication
between Hong Kong, Yokohama and
other ports OF China and Japan, and San
Francisco. They will run in the inter
est OF the railroads. Tho American line
OF steamers, controlled by the Psnnsyl-
vania Railroad Company, and plying be-
tween Philadelphia and Liverpool, will
be the Atlantic division OF the new COM
bination. It is said that the contracts
have been signed and the vessels will be
running within thirty days. One OF the
objects Of j. Gould's trip to San Fran
cisco is to obtain wharf property for the
new company. Russell Sage, President
Of the Pacific Mail Company declares the
suggestion Of starting a rival line on tho
Pacific is ridiculous, for it could not
compete with a regular line, its million
dollars subsidy and great facilities for
business. He thinks the whole story Is
attributable to bears.
Cheap Passage 20 Europe.
Representatives Of the transatlantic
steamship companies have failed to agree
upon passenger rates. Their late rival
ries are resumed. and tickets to Europe
are selling at SIS each.
