LINcoLN's BAKER SToRY.-Colonel Bak-

the late rebellion, was well known in
Springfield, Illinois, and 1t was of him Mr..
Lincoln used TO tell the following story;
Colonel Baker was very courteous to la
dies, always treating them with great po-
liteness and attention. He was starting on
journey at one time, when lady was
placed ia his care by an acquaintance.
Now the colonel knew nothing whatever
of this lady, but she proved to be a pleas
ant travelling companion, and he made her
as comfortable as possible in the old stage
coach. On the next morning they stopped
for break fast in Galena, aud while that
meal was being prepared they were shown
into the parlor on the second floor. Here
the lady seated herself by an open window
looking out on the street, while the colonel
paced the floor with his hands folded be-
hind him, as was his custom, for be always
seemed as restless as a Gagged bear when
confined in a room. Other passengers were

In the parlor, and they were speaking Of
some late deiaulter, some blaming him,
others saying he had done what he could
10 save his creditors. At last one of the
gentlemen appealed 10 Colonel Baker, ask
ing what he thought of the deiaulter.
"Think of him ~ exclaimed the colonel.
"Why, that ho should be hung without
mercy. He is a scoundrel"
At this the lady left her seat, and stand
ing In front of the colonel with flashing
eyes, said, "Colonel Baker, perhaps IL may
interest you TO know that The gentleman
you so readily condemn is my uucler'
The colonel ceased his walk, and giving
one appealing look 10 his fair friend, he be-
gan 10 draw off his coat, and approaching
the open window, said az have nothing
more TO say, madam but give tho word,
and 1 will throw myself from this win

The sacrifice was not demanded, aud

The SIGNIFICANCE OF TRUE PRAYER
lies in the fact that we recognize by our
alteration one whom it is impossible for a
rational being not 10 regard with awe and
pleasure. Prayer proves that the suppli-
cant can appreciate what is exalted and no.
BILE, and shows his kinship with them.
We live in a divine atmosphere, but our
dull souls are too insensible 10 the fra
GRANGE that exhales like a perfume and a
balm from the Infinite source of sweetness
and health and lie. But prayer has more
than this symbolic worth. 1t lifts the soul
into living susceptibility 10 the divine in
fuence, which tones down its passion, en-
larges and purifies its vision, quickens its
best sentiments, and inspires its every vir-
tue. And its effect on the person who prays
constitutes its real use. II affects the soul,
and not its surroundings, and by changes
wrought in it ollen alters its lot. AS we
breathe out petitions 10 the invisible One,
we breathe in his Spirit, which purifies
and strengthens us for duty, and makes US
more hopeful and efficient workers in the
world. Prayer in expectation of an exter-
nal answer is but wasted breath. We pray
in vain FOR miraculous interposition in our
behalf. The way in which prayer helps us
is as comprehensive as anything of such a
nature can be. Heaven qualities its re-
spOnscs TO our condition. Prayer neither
alters nor contravenes nature. Striking
condolences are explicable on natural
grounds. All occurrences are links in q
chain of invariability which the widest
heart-cry cannot break. Effects follow
causes with rigid though sometimes in
trlcate regularity. Rain will not fall the
sooner or more plenleously, nor will seed
yield beyond the capacity of soil and eli
mate because we ask 1t in urgent tone on
bended knee. Our physical energies were
given 10 gain the physical objects that we
crave. But if by prayer we are made diff.
ferent, the world will wear a new face 10
our eyes and yield ampler satisfaction 10
our hearts.

REsUsCITATIoN OF PERSONS APPARENT
man Y drowned persons might be resusci-
tated, who are left TO perish for want of in
telligent and timely treatment. The rules
proper in such cases, which have been
tested by long experience, have been so Of
ten published that they ought to be gener-
ally known. by way of giving practical
illustration of them, we copy, substantial
ly, case mentioned by the writer of that
interesting little ork recently published
under the title of "The French at Home"
In his walk one morning he says he saw
a man pulled ont of the water, apparently
drowned. He was laid on the right side,
the face turned toward the ground, aud the
jaws gently opened TO facilitate the escape
Of water. Several times the head was
placed little lower than the rest of the
body for the same purpose, but only for a
few seconds at a time. In the meanwhile
there was regular manipulating process
to induce breathing, which consisted in
pressing the abdomen, stomach and sides
of the chest, but softly. The efforts were
without effect The man looked as if he
had seen the last of earth. Then the pros
trate figure was carried TO the nearest sta
ton for rescue of the drowned. Here the
man was stripped aud wiped dry, and he
was laid, turned on the side, between two
blankets on a straw mattress. The manip-
ulaling process was resumed, with inter-
walls of about a quarter of a minute be-
tween each pressure of the body, the pres
sure being repeated fifteen or twenty times,
followed by suspension of ten minutes.
Twenty minutes were passed in this way,
when physician employed on this kind
of service appeared and took charge of the
case. A warming pan filled with hot wa
ter was passed over the body outside OF the
blanket, particularly over the pit of the
stomach and the sides of the chest. This
was alternated with gentle friction of hot
woolen miltens and the naked hands, and
the soles of the feet and the palms of the
hands were vigorously rubbed. An oper-
ator breathed into the mouth of the man
by means of tube. These efforts also
proving in vain the physician had recourse
to the introduction of tobacco smoke into
the intestines. In about ten minutes the
ulan gave ieople sIsu Vi me- NheTeuPOn
all manipulation was discontinued lest 1t
should interfere with the natural move
ment. Soon he showed a desire to vomit,
which was assisted by feather introduced
in,o the throat. How long the whole proc
ess lasted Is not stated, but The reader will
see that it was lengthy. A few days aler
the writer attended ball, and among the
most lively dancers he saw the drowned
man.

The California Climate,

San Franciscans make a hobby of their
climate. They roll it as a sweet morsel
under their tongue. 1t is their piece de
resistance in the catalogue Of blessings.
1.-THE derned place seems shaky on her
pins" said citizen just after the great
earthquake of 1865; "but there's one con-
ISOLATION, anyhow we've got the best cli-
male in The world" 1t is a climate of
strong contrasts. 1t Is eccentric ; il is tan
talizing; it is seductive. We are piqued
at lis capriciousness, yet it units us for
living anywhere else. Summer hardens
into winter; winter is glorfied into sum-
mer. Roses and sunny skies in January;
verdureless waste, cold winds, and chill
ing fogs in July.
"Did you ever see such a summer as
thisH ?" said one Irishman to another.
mo, be jabers, not since the middle OF
last winter"
We cry for thick blankets while you are
sweltering in the dog day heats we throw
open our doors and windows while YOU
are covering beneath the sharp stings of
winter. Not that all days in summer are
cold, and all days in winter warm but the
6SHSA"i Aui0 49, thdL Juue, July, anu Au-
gust are detestable, and the rest of the
year unequaled for loveliness of weather.
There are not only days but weeks. when
the skies are indescribably glorious. The
Nile Valley is not so sweetly balmy, South
ern Italy not so rich in mellow splendor.
The golden sunhine permeates every pore,
quickens every pulse of life. The air has
an indefnable softneSs and sweetness-a
tonic quality that braces the nerves TO a
joyous tension, making the very sense of
existence delight. The contrast of tenn
perature between summer and winter is
less apparent than real. The remarkable
equabiity OF The climate will appear from
the following: In June, 1874, the highest
thermometer was GO, the lowest, $50; in
January of the same year, the highest was
500, the lowest, 540. In December, the
range was between COO and $50; in August
it was between $50 and 6OO.-Samuel WI

"GREAT TREES FROM LITTLE ACoRNs."
"A little boy was carrying bottle of gin
ger-pop down King street the other day,
when suddenly the cork popped out and
popped him in the north eye. When he
had sufficiently recovered from his aston
ishnient he yelled so vigorously that a
small crowd soon collected around him 10
ascertain the matter. Two carpenters at
work on the next block around the corner,
in their anxiety TO see what the excitement
was about, fellout of the second story win
dow on TO peanut stand beneath. Then
two women tainted, one of whom immedi-
ately disappeared in an adjacent coal cellar.
Three small boys shouted "firep and a
man with a long ladder on his shoulder,
hearing their cries, turned around sudden
ly, and after Oyerturning an apple woman
amidst the demoralizing ruin OF her wares,
the end of the ladder demolished plate
glass window, and finally settled itself on
an old gentleman's worst corn. Then fat
old lady had one eye gouged out by an UNI
brella, aud a Dutchman and Irlshman, af-
ter excltedly endeavoring to explain to
each other the cause of It all, got into a
fight and rolled recklessly into the gutter.
By this time seven policemen, headed by
two fire engines, came upon the scene, and
arrested nine innocent lookers-on. This
had the effect Of dispensing the crowd,
most of whom TO this hour haven't the re-
motest idea what II was all about anyhow.

OUR NATIONAL SoNGs.-The Indianapo-
lis Journal deems 1t a singular fact that
few Americans know the words of our ma
tional songs. 1t particularizes thus: at
is safe to say that score of parties in this
vicinity tried vest erday (the 5th) TO sing
The Star Spanged Banner and failed be-
cause no one knew the words. All knew
the tune, but nobody the text. They could
talk about it, give the key, start II, and
keep 1t up for line or Two, but nobody
knew the words or could lead oil in the
beautiful and patriotic song. 1t is peculiar
TO the American people, and not specially
creditable. Every Frenchman can sing
the Marseillaise. Every German knows
his national song, and so of other people.
Only the Americans are deficient In this
respect, who, OF all others, ought to be
posted. 1t ought 10 be made regular du-
" in every common school of the land TO
memorlze and sing 'The Star Spangled
Banner 1t is good poetry, good music,
and good politics. 1t cannot be learned too
soon nor repeated TO often. The words are
simple, the melody beautiful, and the his
tory easily explained. 1t is the most char
acteristic Of our national songs, and every
body ought TO have it at his tongues end.

The coolness of some men In certain try
ing emergencies is beyond praise. He was
a cool man, if he was a poor carver, who,
having at dinner party deposited by his
unskillfulness the turkey on lady's lap,
courteously inquired, "Madam, may
trouble you for that turkeyH" But even
this exhibition of a temper which no mis-
hap could ruflle is ecllpsed by the coolness
of an English curate-we are indebted 10
the Christian Register for the incident-in
managing his sleepy congregation. Hav-
ing tried, without success, many plans to
keep alive the attention Of drowsy people,
he, on one hot summers afternoon, just as
the people had reused themselves at the
end of the sermon, quietly said, "Well,
my friends, that sermon doesn't seem TO
have interested You; am very sorry for
it but there is a remedy for all things,
and have another in my pocket which
you will perhaps like betterp To the dis
may of his wide awake floek he coolly
preached a second sermon through from
the text to the amen. That curate would
lead forlorn hope or oversee nitro
glycerino factory.

while sauntering through the crowded street,
Some half-remembcrcd face meet,
Albeit upon no mortal shore
That face, methinks, has smiled before.
Lost in gay and festal throng,
tremble at some tender song
Set to an air whose golden bars
must have heard in other stars.
In sacred Aisles pause to share
The blessings Of priestly prayer
When the whole scene which greets mine eyes
In some strange mode recognize
A one whose every mystic part
feel prehgured in my heart.
At sunset, as calmly stand,
stranger on an alien strand,
Familiar as my childhood's home
Seems the long stretch Of wave aud foam.
One sails toward me DER the bay,
And what he comes to do and say
can forstell. A prescient loro
Springs from come life outlivcd Of yore.
o swift, instihetiye, startling CLEANS
OF deep soul knowledge! not a. dreams
For aye ye vaguely dawn and die,
But oft with lightning certainty
Pierce through the dark, obli,ious brain,
To mako old thoughts and memories plain;
Thoughts which perchAnce must travel back,
Across the wild, bewildering track

Twas in restaurant we met
still recall the glance she gave,
And how enthrAlled MAS, as IL
That glance had made my soul her slave.
How quick she turned and deeply bluAhed,
As II she would avoid my eye;
And hung her head, and went to work
Upon plate Of chicken-pie.
How more and more confused she grew,
1t was my duty sad to note,
Until, with such despatch she ate,
A chicken bone stuck in her throat.
How then she started, choked, and gagged,
never, never eau forget,
And dropped her teeth--I think they were
At least nifty dollar set.
30 pAled my hopes as pales the light
That Fancy lends her Fairy scenes
She grabbed her ivories up and fed,
And resumed my pork and beans.
