met with an accident short distance beyond
Island Pond, which delayed the trains all along
the road for some time. AT the time of the
accident the train was running at slow rate
of speed, or the accident would have resulted
in sad loss of life. AS it was, three cars left
the track without injuring any one. The track
was badly torn up, and was not repaired until
early yesterday morning. The through train
due here at quarter before three o'clock did
not arrive until nearly five o'clock last night.

SECRET PRAYER. Besides the open
return there il a secret reward of secret
prayer. There is a peculiar and present
Joy in communion with God The deep
er pleasures are the purest; and Of all
pleasures, the purest is the peace with
God. To feel that he is Ioye-to draw
so near him as to forget the world-so
near as to lose the love Of sin-is of all
pleasures the sweetest, Of all blessedness
the purest and most profound. And
next to this highest communion with
God-next to this joy Of passion Inlled,
and sins slain and selffOrgotten in
adoring fellowship with the Father OF
Iights-is their sedater comfort who can
pour their griefs into the Heavenly
Fathers bosom, or who feel that they
have bespoken help against coming gtoils
and trials at their Heavenly Fathers
hand. To know that God is near-to
know that he is trusted. hOnOred, loved
to feel that you are acting toward him
as a reverential and alTectiOnate child,
and that he is feeling toward you as "a
gracious and compassionate father
there is in this itself an exquisite salts
faction, a present reward.

HELPING OTHERS. seems a strange
thing, but nevertheless true, that shar-
ing another's burden will tighten our
own. If you begin doing little things
for your neighbor, it viii soon be easy
for you to perform greater deeds in his
behalf No man is sufficient unto him
self Trust in Providence is nothing but
a higher belief in humanity. You may
feel very much depressed some day, dis
eouraged and well nigh despairing, when
some kind friend happens in-GOd sent
and you are soothed, cheered and en-
couraged; the vail is lifted, and you are
happy once more. Many are able to
give substantial help to those who are
in need; money, to tide over some finan-
eialtrouble; food, to keep a family from
starving; gifts, that nourish the heart
with assurances of love; something that
may be trifle in itself, but helps make
up the sum of human happiness. But
perhaps you cannot do this; you have
large family and limited income, or are
otherwise prevented from making the
hand the almoner.Of the heart. Well,
then, draw on the spiritual treasury
Give kind words to those who need
them; comfort those who are bowed
down; speak lovingly to little children,
and eneouragingIy to those who faint
for this support. Stand ready to help
everybody.

MR. CHARLES NOEDHOFF does get
some light as he travels southwark. In
his last letter he says: 1.-The thing
which was ofteEest said to me in Mis-
sissippi by Democratic politicians was
this: Our only hope is in the Demo
cratic success in the next federal cleo
tion. The Democratic successes last fall
gave us our first gleam of light But
when asked how Democratic admins
tration could help them. the reply was,
Because then We can disorganize the
colOred vote. They will not vote with
out white leaders to organize them
And when / asked one OF tine leaders of
the white line movement, whose object
is to draw the color line strictly, how he
could hope to get all the white people
with their strongly diyerging views. into
his movement, his prompt reply was
Wen make it too id hot for them to
stay out Now, to me, this does not
look ike the American way of carrying
an election
