Mean and Wicked Children.

It is not an uncommon thing for
children to grow up and become bet
ter off than their parents. The poor
mans son becomes rich. The dauhg-
ter of a poor mother becomes the
mistress of noble mansion. How
do you suppose such children treat
their parents ?
"They ought to treat them very
kindly and give them lots Of good
things" we hear you say. Of course
they ought. But it is fact that
many such children despise to neg
lect their poor parents. The silly
creatures are ashamed of their own
father and mother. Shame on their
cold, wicked hearts we say; don't
you?
Some rich children are nobler, how
ever, and continue to honor their par
ents. Archbishop Tillotson was one
OF tins very class. His father, who
was a very plain man, called one day
and asked
ais John Tillotson at home 2"
"Get out !" cried the angry SER
want, who did not like to hear his
learned master inquired for in such
plain terms by so plain man.
But Tillotson had heard his fathers
voice, and rushing to the door ex-
claimed, in presence of the astoDish-
ed servant
cit is my beloved father !"
This was manly, filial, Christian
conduct. We trust that il any of our
readers should become rich while
their parents are poor, they will iml-
tate good John Tlllotson, and not be
so mean as to be ashamed of those
whose love provides for all their
wants. "Honor thy father and thy
mother. "-St6nddrd

At a social party in Bernville, Pa,
few nights ago, young lady pres
ent, glanced at looking-glass, dis
covered that somebody had marked
her face with lampblack. This so
enraged her that she planted her fist
on the mouth of an innocent young
man who happened to stand near her,
and he returned the compliment In
her wild rage of weeping condition,
aud with her blackened face, she look
ed horrible in the extreme She soon
laid the young man out 'pretty fiat, !"
and then, Selling poker, she went at
the rest of the company. In less than
two minutes she had everybody IN the
room (twenty in ALI piled up in a cor
ner. Then she quietly put on her
hat and shawl, and walked of home.

Why BENJAMIN FRANKLIN USED
SIMPLE LANGUAGE Tradition has il
that years ago. when Benjamin
Franklin was a lad, ne begun to
study philosophy, and soon became
fond OF applying technical names to
common objects. One evening when
he mentioned to his father that he
had swallowed some acephalous mol
lusks, the old man was much alarmed,
and suddenly seizing him, called
loudly for help. Mrs. Franklin came
with warm water, and the hired man
rushed in with the garden pump
They forced half a gallon down
Benjamin's throat, then held him by
the heels over the edge of the porch
and shook him, while the old man
said "lf We don't get them things
out of Benney he will be pizened,
sure" When they were out, and
Benz amin explained that the articles
alluded to were oysters, his father
fendled him for an hour with trunk
strap, for soaring the family, after
this Frankln's language was simple.

THE FRUITS or A REVIVAL.
Four Hundred Converts In NcwNilie, Pa
Two Unfortunate Cases.

NEVILLE, Pa. Feb. 1.-THE culmina-
tion Of the revival In the churches here is seen
In the increased membership 10 the number OF
nearly 400. About 20 of these were added to
the Lutheran Church, 100 to the PRESBYTERIAN
Church, and the remainder divided between the
Unitel Presbyterian, Methodist, United Broth
rem, and Church OF God churches. Wblc rad
ioal change has been effected with many adults,
the larger proportion OF the new converts oom-
PRISE young persons and children. All above
ten years OF age were permitted to join the
churches. some only seven years old profess I'd
conversion.
There have been but two occurrences 70 mar
the revival proceedings. Henry Ious, formerly
an actor, who first appeared here In contrary
with brother hammond, created something OF
a sensation, and the account Of his ra aii q! 10
generation was widely published, while he was
an especial fayorito with tho young ladies'. lie

The other case is that OF a Miss Leah Koche n
young lady Of good reputation, who lived
with Mr.. Peter A. Ahl Of this place This
young lady attended the revival meetings, OK
pressed desire for prayers, and proiessed con
version. Sub cquently she believed she WAS not
converted, that her siEs were unpardOnabl ana
tnis 50 Ufeyed upon her Imagination that on
Tuesday last she threw herself in the cisteTn.
Her body was found four hours alterward. Ihe
above Is the generally accepted cause, though
painful rumors are rife. Il.
