Jarvis and the Funeral.

There is q story related Of Jarvis, the
painter, 10 the effect that,
walking down Broadway one day, he saw
before him a dark-looking foreigner, bear
ing under his arm a small red cedar cigar
box lie stepped Immediately into his
wake" and whenever he met a friend
(Which was once in two or three min
utes, for the popular artist knew every
body) he would beckon him with a wink
to "fall into line" behind BY and by
the man turned down one Of the cross
streets, followed closely by Jarvis and
his tail" Attracted by the measured
tread of so many feet, he turned around
abruptly, and, seeing the procession that
followed in his footsteps, he exclaimed:
what for de debble is dis2 What for
you take me, eh? What for you 50 much
come after me, chr "Sir," exclaimed
Jarvis, with an air Of profound respect.
I'VE saw you going to the grave alone
with the body OF your dead infant, and
we took the opportunity TO offer you our
sympathy, and to follow your babe to the
tomb" The man explained, in his bro
ken manner, that the box contained only
cigars, and he evinced his gratitude, for
the interest which had been manifested
in his behalf, by breaking it open and
dispensing them very literally to the
mourners.-[ [Scribner's Monthly.

Heroism Of Converts.

In January last, Two English mission
aries, travelling in part Of China never
before visited by foreigners, were attack
ed by Chinese mob. Christian converts
living in the neighborhood, hearing Of
the disturbance, hastened 10 their rea-
cue, identified themselves with the mis-
sionaries, and did all in their power to
protect them from injuries. The Rev.
Griffith John, one of the missionaries,
thus writes Of their heroism and faith:
Another OF our converts, in the very height
OF the storm, begged the mob TO XIII him but
spare his pastor. / was struck with the calm
ness and forgivlng spirit displayed by these
men. During the attack they maintained the
they never brcathed an angry word. When
safely lodged in the village asked them how
they felt The reply was, Never better our
hearts are fun Of peace and JOY. God has great
~ honorcd Us In thus permitting us 10 suffer
for His name and cause" "HaVo you any re-
vengeful feelingf" 1 asked them again. "No,"
was the reply; mot the least. We only desire
their salvation, and believe that God Intends
this 70 be the beginning Of a great work In the
district OF Hiau-Kan."
I have laid the whole matter before II. B. N.
Consul, and feel confident that the case will
be promptly attended to, and that the treaty
rights Of the missionary and the native Chris
tians In these parts win be insisted upon.
Such an incident as this is the best Of
all replies TO those who do not believe IN
sending the gospel to the heather.

walked along with the Corporal
To the door OF his humble home,
To which the silent messenger
Before me also had come;
And IL he had been a titled prince
would not have been honored more
Than was with his heartfelt welcome
To his lowly cottage door.
Night falls again in the cottage;
They move in silence and dread
Around the room where the baby
Lies painting upon her bed.
"Does baby know papa, darling?"
And she moves her little face
With answer that shows she knows him,
But scarce "a visible trace
OF her wonderful infantile beauty
Remains as it was before
The unseen, silent messenger
Had waited at the door.
"Papa-kiss-baby; ;-I's-sO-tired."
The man bows low his face,
And two swollen hands are lifted
In baby's last embrace.
And into her fathers grizzled beard
The little red fingers cling,
While her husky whispered tenderness
Tears from rock would wiring,
Baby-is-so-sick-pa
But-don't-want-you
The little hand falls on the coverlet-
"Be-better-in-mOrni
And night around baby is falling,
Settling down dark and dense;
docs OOl neeu lneif darling IN heaven
That Hemust carry her hence;
/ prayed, with tears In my voice,
AS the Corporal solemnly knelt
With such grief as never before
His great warm heart had felt.
Oh frivolous men and women!
Do you know that around you, and nigh
Alike from the humble and naughty
GOeth up evermOre the c4y:
"My child, my precious, my darling,
How can 4 let you die ~
Oh hear ye the white lips whisper

"You can't help the baby, parson,
But still I want you to go
Down an look in upon her,

Only last week she was skipping round
A pullin' my whiskers m hair,
A climbin' mp TO the table
Into her little high chair.

When her little cheeks grew red,
When she kissed good night to papa,
And went away to bed
Sez she TTis headache, papa,

Jest made me want to cry.
"But the mornin' brought the fever,
And her little hands were hot,
An the pretty red of her little cheeks
Grew into a crimson spot.
But she laid there jest ez patient
Ez ever a woman could,
TaiSin' whatever we give her
Better'n grown woman would.
"The days are terrible long an slow,
An she's CROWN wus in each;
An now she's jest a slippin'

Every night when l kiss her,
Tryin' hard not to cry,
She says, in a way that kills me,
'Bebetter in mornin-byeP
"she can't get thro' the nigh, parson,
So want ye to come an pray,
And talk with mother little
You'll know just what TO say;
Not that the baby needs IL,
Nor that we make any complaint

Ruta Bsgas.

The time is close at hand for
the planting of this valuable
turnip, and we cannot resist the
temptation. to remind our read
ers of its great value in the pro-
vision crop. August is gener-
ally the month for planting it in
this section, but August is often
not only hot, but dry, and we
have sometimes been obliged to
wait so long for rain that the
season too nearly passed for sue
cess in the crop. We would
prefer planting about the mid
die Of August, if we could be
sure Of sufficient rain, but if the
first or even the latter part Of
July should be showery, it
would be safer to plant then.
They are very accommodating
in our climate, and will grow at
any season but very slowly dur
ing frosty weather, and are very
liable to be scorched and killed
by the sun just after sprouting.
The main points are first to get
a good stand, and second, early
enough to have them well grown
before the first frost. Plant
early, therefore, and plant a.
bundantly, that you may have
an abundance Of rich milk and
butter for the winter.

A fleece that weighs eight
pounds and sells at 40 cents a
pound, gives the producer three
dollars and sixty cents for wool
alone. AT the same time the in

lambs and mutton will more than
cover all expenses. Can farm
er ask for better business?
Why not let fields Of cotton rest

1t will require fewer field hands,
less plows and mules, and bring
