bolsterously; then he sings, dan
ces, and cuts all manners of fan
tastic capers. The effect contin-
ues about an hour, and the pat
lent is uproariously comical.-
When the excitement ceases, the
exhausted exhibitor falls into a
deep sleep, which continues for
an hour or more; and when he
awakes he is utterly unconscious
that any such demonstrations
have been enacted by him.

A Brothers Charge.

One day a little boy asked his
mother to let him lead his little
sister out on the green grass
She had just begun to run along,
and could not step over any thing
that lay in the way. His mother
told him he might lead out the
little girl, but charged him not to
let her fall. l found them at
play, very happy, in the field.
l said, "You seem very happy,
George. Is this your sister.
ssYes, sir
"Can she walk aloneg;
s.Yes, sir, on smooth ground" "
"And how did she get over
these stones which lie between
us and the houseg"
30, sir, mother charged me to
be careful that she did net fall,
and so put my hands under her
arms and lifted her up when she
came to stone, SO that she need
not hit her little foot against it."
ssThat is right, George; and l
want to tell you one thing. You
see now how to understand that
beautiful text: He shall give his
angels charge concerning. thee;
and in their hands they shall bear
thee up, lest at any time thou
dash thy foot against a stoneP-
God charges his angels to lead
and lift his people over difficult
ties, just as you have lifted little
Annie over these stones. Do you
understand it nowg'
30 yes, sir, and l shall never
forget it while l live"
Can one child thus take care
of another, and cannot God take
care of those who trust him.
Surely he can. There is not a
child who may read this story
over whom he is not ready to give
his holy angels charge.

1 once heard a minister say:
"Suppose, some cold morning,you
should go into a neighbor's house
and find him busy at work on
his Notwithstanding away,
and should ask what he was up
to, and he should reply, why, 1
am trying to remove the frost;
but as fast as l get it off one
square it comes on another;;'would
you not say: "Why man, let
your windows alone and kindle a
fire, and the frest will soon come
off And have you not seen peo
who try to break off their bad
habits, one after another, without
avail? Well, they are like the
man who tried to scratch the
frost from his windows. Let the
fire of love to God and man, kind
led at the alter of prayer, burn in
their hearts, and the bad habits
will soon melt away.

How we Fade.

As the trials of life thicken,
and the dreams Of other days fade
one BY one in the deep vista OF
disappointed hope, the heart
grows weary of the long continu-
ed struggle, and we begin to rea-
lie our insignificance. Those
who have climbed to the pima
cles of fame, ,or rsvelin luxury and
wealth, go to the grave at last
with the poor mendicant who
begs by the wayside, and, like
him, are soon forgotten. Gener-
alton after generation, says an
eloquent writer, have felt as We
feel, and their fellows were as
active in life as ours are now
They passed away as a vapor,
while nature wore the same as
pect of beauty as when the Crea-
tor commanded her to be.

A German clergyman who was

A German clergyman who was
travelling, stopped at an hotel
much frequented by wags and
jekers. The host,not being used
to have a clergyman at his table,
looked at him with surprise; the
guests used all their artillery of
wit upon him without eiciting a
remark. The clergyman ate his
dinner quietly, apparently with
out observing the gibes and
sneers of his neighbors. One of
them, at last, in despair at his
forbearance, said to him. "Well
l wonder at your patience! Have
you not heard all that has been
said to youl'' aOh, yes; but l am
used to it. Do you know who 1

During all their suffering by
famine the last year, the Ameri-
can Hollanders in Sioux county
Iowa, have maintained a deep
and abiding faith in the mercies
of God. They greatly desire a
house of worship but were una
BILE to build it, and were not as
sisted in their effort although
asking aid. They were, however
gladdened a few days ago by re-
ceiving a "note from a lady in
the East, pledging four thousand
dollars toward a house of wor-
ship for them. "Her name, ,"says
one Of the church members, @is
not known to US, but it would
have done her soul good to have
heard the prayers and thanks to
God for her by many a Dutch
true Christian farmer, who al
though dressed in rough gar
ments, lived in daily communion
with his Savior"

ferec him round sum of money,
if he would dig the grave for his
brother so near to the fathers,
that they could, without much
trouble, break through the sep
arating earth and open the coffin
Of the supposed vampire.
The grave-digger consented to
do this, but first consulted the
pastor of the village church. The
worthy clergyman forbade his
taking any part in such a desc
Grafton and ordered him to dig
the grave as usual. He also set
watch on the night before the
funeral. The watchman was,
however, careless, and the men
were not disturbed until they had
accomplished their purpose.
Joseph and his assistants were
tried for their act of desecration
and were found guilty by the dis
trict court. This sentence was
reversed by the Court of Appeals
but the verdict was set aside by
the Superior Court, and the case
sent back to be tried again by
the tribunal of the district. The
trial was protracted through two
years, but all the parties were
finally acquitted, on the INSULT
cient ground that they meant no
harm.
Ii now ask for the origin of
this strange and horrible super
stition, we shall probably find it
in the ancient doctrine that the
souls of the dead pass into the
bodies of other animals doc
trine still held by the Hindoos.
There is a bat in South America
which sometimes sucks the blood
of animals,a if this species once
existed in Europe, it may have
given rise to the belief that the
dead sometimes rise from their
graves and nourish themselves
on the blood of the living. The
wonder is that the superstition
should still maintain its ground
in this age of almost universal
education and of semitic inqui-
ry.-Houth's Companion.

We heard an anecdote of a
scheolboy, the other day, which
illustrates the honesty of youth.
The little fellow had dirty face,
and his teacher told hi1I to 90
and wash it. He went out and
stayed for a few minutes, and
then came back with the lower
half Of his countenance tolerably
clean, and the upper half wet and
dirty.
"Johnny." said the teacher,
"why did you not wash your
face2"
81 did wash itl'' said Johnny.
"Why, you did not wipe i then
all over.n
81 did wipe it-as far as my
shirt tail would reachI" was John
ny's conclusive reply.

An Old Superstition.

Among the horrible supersti-
tions which still exist in some
parts of the world, that of the
vampire is one of the worst. A
recent lawsuit in Germany has
shown that this weird belief still
exists,notwithstanding the boast
ed enlightment of this nineteenth
century.
On the 9Th of February, 1870,
there died at Kantzyno, a village
in Western Prussia, of consump
ton, a respectable gentleman
named Francis Van Pollock,
sixty-three years of age. A few
days after his funeral his eldest
son, Anton. was taken sick and
died on the 18th of the same
month. According to the physi-
clan, his disease was known as
"galloping consumption"
Almost at the same time this
mans wife and young daughter
were taken sick; a second son and
brother-in-law felt very unwell,
and all these persons complained
of feeling indescrible anxiety and
oppression.
The superstitious notion was
now adopted by the family, that
the dead father was a so-called
vampire, and that they must all
die if help were not at once OBJ
tanned.
A vampire is supposed to be a
body which continues to live in
the grave, rising thersfrom by
night to suck the precious life
blood from living persons, ,especi-
ally its own relatives, and thus
to nourish itself and prevent the
usual decay.
The persons attacked, it is said
sometimes feel themselves in
dream caught by. the neck and
almost strangled; or unable to
keep off the fearful visltant who
lies on their breast, they decline
very rapidly, after their death be-
come themselves vampires, and
50 on without end, until, by some
forcible measures, the fearful ter
ror is dispelled.
According to this superstition,
which prevails in Poland and
Western Prussia, the ability to
become a vampire is given with
tha-se-ea4Icd- -Fortunatus' cap,
which in all ages and among all
people has been regarded as an
emblem OF prosperity. Such vam-
pire candidates are said to be
somewhat dictatorial and avari-
cious. The principal sign, it is
believed, is to be found in the
corpse. The face retains its col
or; the blood flows freely; the
stiffness and offensiveness of dead
bodies are entirely absent, as
though the person were in
trance.
There are various methods ad.
dopted by these supsrstitious
people for destroying the vam-
pire; some mild, others more Sc
we're. One is 10 turn the dead
body in the coffin swith the face
downwards. Another is to drive
a wooden stake through the
breast, and further, to cut off the
head and lay it, face downwards,
between the legs. While the
body is thus horribly treated, the
people declare that groans are
heard and wild laughter from the
mouth of the vampire. In some
cases the dead body is burned to
ashes.
After Anton Won Poblocki's
death, and his mother and sister
" ere taken sick, the family de-
termined to resort to the sever
est measures of relief, the execu-
ton OF which devolved on the
second son. Joseph, who was now
the head of the family. The same
operation was to be performed
on the father on the night before
the sons funeral.
Joseph Won Feblocki,wfth this
view, went the day before to the
grave digger of the place, and Of

Indian Frauds.

Evidence continues TO accumulate
tending to show that the expenditures
of the Indian Bureau have been shame
fully and needlessly swollen far beyond
the very liberal appropriations allowed
by Congress to that department, and
upon the commissioner of Indian af-
fairs evidently rests the responsibility.
That officer has just asked for $685.
S3S to pay Indebtedness contracted by
his department prior to July l, 1878.
He spent what Congress allowed, and
then assuming to say what was AIDE,
quate went on and contracted debts
amounting to over half a million dol
lars, and now brings in the bills, at a
time when retrenchment is most de-
manded, for the country to pay. His
weighticst charge in this new buget is
over 100000 for collecting and sub
sisting the Apaches in Arizona and
New Mexico, while he presents list
Of items amounting to between one
and two hundred thousand dollars,
under the head of "sundries. Even
supposing what is hardly possible, that
the commissioner found congressional
provision for the legitimate needs of
his bureau inadequate, he has done
sufficient to warrant his removal in
mourning debts without authority, and
if. as the Chairman of the Peace Com
mission recently charged, he wasted
the National money in fragrant per-
sonal eXtrayaga nces, besides "inciden-
tai expenses of the Indian service" he
should suffer more than removal.
The proposition to transfer the con-
troll of Indian affairs to the War De
partment is gaining favor as the ex,
travagance and dishonesty of the In
dian Bureau become more evident.
There is among army officers feel
ing of honor unknown to the place
men and hypocrites of the Interior
Department. The soldier has some
thing to aspire to besides wealth, and
when he does steal, his punishment
under the rigorous and just rules of
military law is speedy and effective.
