Feeling Ia Not Religion.

In times of special religious interest the
attention of many is turned exclusively
upon the state of their feelings. They
look for an experience solely in the emo
tons. They lose sight of the truth that
the real Christian experience is related to
the emotional nature solely as cause to
effect, not as effect to cause. For per-
son to endeavor to feel miserable or to feel
happy without any special reason for it
other than such, as has been the cOnven-
tional way of entering upon the Christian
life, is as absurd as though one should feel
called upon to laugh without provocation,
or to weep without cause for sadness. Our
feelings follow Natures laws as constantly
as the mercury rises and falls in the tube.
For us to attempt to regulate the tempera-
ture by raising or depressing the column
of quicksilver would be just as sensible
Is 10 attempt to regulate our lives by lift
ing or depressing our feelings. We are
responsible for what we do, not for how
we feel. The state Of our feelings may
indicate, in some measure, what our &C
tons are or have been. They cannot, in
the least, affect their moral quality. The
religious life is begun simply by surren-
der Of the will to God. 1t is needless to
70 through any preconceived process
marked by startling experiences. 1t is
needless to look for an ecstatic vision
breaking in and dispelling clouds OF dark
ness and despair. A happy frame of mind
may be the result, itcan never be the cause,
of an acceptance with God Vermont

She Killed u Man.

Soon after daylight Tuesday morning a
widow woman occupying cottage on
Fort street east ran out upon the street
and excitedly called to policeman:
"COme over here-hurry-quick-I've
killed man stone dead"
"Where is he?" asked the officer as he
came up.
Right around in the back yard, siri
Oh! sir, heard a noise at the window,
and I got up, and there was burglar try
ing to get in, sir! l took the shot gun
from behind the door and fired, and you'll
find the corpse under the Windows! Obi
l can't hardly catch my breath, and I'm
afraid they'll put me in jail!"
The officer walked around to the rear
of the house, looked over every foot of
ground, and failed to find corpse. One
of the windows was raised, but there was
no blood, no marks of shot and no evil
dence that man had been hit.
You are sure you saw man, and sure
you hit him, are you?" he asked of the
widow.
"Oh, 1 know did-I'm certain of it. :"
but where is the body?"
perhaps his partner carried it off"
she suggested.
The officer looked all over the window
casing for shot marks, but there were
none. and he asked for the gun. 1t was
lying across the bed, and he was only a
minute discovering that it was not loaded,
and had not been for months. The lock,
too, was out of order, the hammer broken,
and no one could have fired the gun.
II guess you didn't kill man with
this" he remarked, as he put the weapon
down.
"Why didn't I?'' she innocently in
quired.
When he had explained matters she
burst into tears and walled out:
Its awful to be widow, and shoot at
a burglar, and to miss him, and to find
out that you never shot at ALL Seems as
if everybody was down on me!"-DetrOit

The Story Of Q Mummy.

For seventeen years the most curious
object in the Museum of the Tennessee
Historical Society has been the Egyptian
mummy. 1t has very singular history.
In 1860 Col. Jeremiah George Harris
was purser on United States man. Of
war in the Egyptian waters. He went on
shore, and was at once ushered into the
august presence of The Khedive and his
numerous household. He was walking
out one day with a member of the Khe-
dives staff, when the latter was set upon
by ruffians. Col. Harris, who is 8 man of
great strength, interposed, and the roughs
were vanquishcd.
What can l do" asked the Egyptian
officer, to show adequate appreciation of
the services you have rendered met"
Give me mummy" laughingly sug.
gested Col. Harris.
"A mummy" repeated the officer,
holding his breath and bordering. odd
you not know, sir, that our laws prohibit
the removal of mummies, under penalty
of death! But, never mind; your request
shall be fulfilled. Just before your vessel
leaves the harbor boat will come along
side. 1t will contain that for which you
have asked"
Col. Harris had dismissed the subject
from his mind, but just before the hour
for the departure of the ship three ma.
tives were seen pulling toward the YES
sci. The boat contained bundle direct
ed to Col. Harris. This bundle was not
opened until the arrival of the ship at
Boston, when it was discovered that there
were six mummies instead of one. They
were unwrapped, and the best one for
warded to the Tennessee Historical SOcie-
ty, of which Col. Harris was then and is
still member.
When Prof. Huxley was here he exam
ined the mummy with great deal of in
terest, and said that he believed it to be
the best preserved specimen either in
America or in Europe.-Nash. american.

Good Thoughts.

GOOD thoughts are like sunbeams. They
are purifying, warming and life giving.
Without them a mind, of necessity, be-
comes shriveled, debased and distorted
When the image is lost, it becomes the
saddest of wrecks. But good thought,
even though there lie but one, is like a
lump Of lcaven to him WHO possesses it !;
and if it be kept warm by desire for
better things, it will exert its who lesome
influence upon the whole mass of thought.
Good thoughts lift the mind above the
narrow realm in which "self" dwells,
and bring it in sympathy with God and
humanity. Thus it excites new desires
and capabilities for usefulness, and be-
comes, at the same time, q panacea for
many of ones own ills. When selfish de.
sires arc gnawing at the root of our tree
of life, and discomfort is threatening to
tiercely snap it asunder, good thoughts
should be as eagerly sought for as is safe
shelter from the impending tornado, or a
speedy antidote for deadly poison. Sell
tishncss is deadly poison, paralyzing the
Godlike faculties, and rendering one insens-
ible to the wOeful wants of the world
1t is an old and trite saying: Take
care of the dimes and the dollars will take
care of themselves" but it is a far more
important truth, that ii the children are
properly cared for, the coming" men and
women will do more and better work for
God than did their predecessors. Good
thoughts, we'll adapted. must be their
milk in childhood, and their meat in after
years. No one would set a screen to pl e.
vent glorious sunlight from ever falling
upon child, except through ignorance or
evil intent, yet worse than this is done
when good thoughts are withheld from it.
A child does not nave to reach out so very
far, after all, to catch a glimpse Of the
best thoughts, and twill often reciprocate,
with one that will sparkle, in its turn.
Good thoughts are the minds crown !;
and it beams with brightest luster upon
him who has from early dawn of life till
its latest sun gathered and strung ana
woven then into the web of his own life,
and passed off his sacred treasures on to
others. He who can "play skillfully"
on the mind of child may hear the
echoes thereof when his head is blossom.
