of the BEST SCOTCH PIG METAL, with heav.
ier and thicker plate than any other Stove In tho
market, and consequently will the longer with
stand heat and hard usage. They are Of hand
some pattern and neat finish, and warranted equal
in every other respect to any Cooking Stove sold
in the United States, whlei tis confidently claimed
that they are the CHEAPEST. All the usual
pieces of ware and cooking utensils are furnished
| with each Stove. An important consideration
with purchasers IL the fact that our patterns and
sizes are never changed: Should piece get acci.
dentally broken at any time, we can replace IL at
the mere cost of casting. Not simply because 1t
is home production, but on account of its intrin-
we ask the patronage of home purchasers. More

A HORSE TRADE.-When Abraham Lin
coin was lawyer in Illinois, he and the judge
once got to bantering one another about ira
ding horses, and it was agreed that the next
morning at nine o'clock they should make a
trade, the horses to be unseen up to that hour,
and no backing out under forfeiture of
twenty-five dollars. At the hour appointed
the Judge came up, leading the sorriest look
ing specimen of horse ever seen in those
parts. In few minutes Mr.. Lincoln was
seen approaching with wooden saw-horse
upon his shoulder. Great we're the shouts
and the laughter of the crowd, and both were
greatly increased when Mr.. Lincoln, on sur
veying the judges animal set down his saw
horse, and exclaimed, "Well, judge, this is
the first time ever got the worst of it in q
horse trade !"

na% Miss Linney, of Sacramento, was in.
cliued to marry Mr.. Roberts, but she said
that she could not become the wife of a poor
man. She would wait reasonable time for
him to make fortune, and whenever he was
in condition to support her in elegance he
might claim her. He went to San Francisco,
embarked in mining speculations, and made
money rapidly. A few months ago he told
her that he possessed hundred thousand dol
lars. She said that the sum was satisfactory,
and mentioned date that would suit her for
the wedding. Then he coolly told her that
he had changed his mind, and had no Idea OF
marrying her. She has sued him for breach
of promise.

HOME WoRDs.-Reader, you and 1 are
dying sinners. We cannot live always Be-
fore long we shall be lying in our graves
These are serious matters. They may well
make you feel grave. But cheer up. Have
you heard the good news?
The good news is this: God has provided
glorious Saviour for us. His dear Son Je'
sus Christ died upon the cross for sinners. By
his death he made atonement for transgres'
sion and purchased a full forgiveness for the
ungodly. In a word, Christ has done all
paid all, suffered US all that was needful to
reconcile US to God. He has provided gar
ment of Righteousness to clothe US. He has
opened fountain Of living water to cleanse
u.s. He has removed every barrier between
US and God the Father, taken every obstacle
out of the way, and made a road by which
the vilest may return. All things are now
ready on Gods part. A complete salvation
has been provided.
But what is it that God asks for on the
part of man9 How are the privileges of thii
great salvation to be made the sinners own
What is the means by which you and l are
to obtain an interest in Jesus Christ 7
The answer to all these questions is short
and simple: "Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ and thou shalt be saved" This is the
good news.

A BRAVE BoY.-When the young Alexis
of Russia, now visiting this country, was first
assigned to duty as midshipman, his. vessel
was wrecked off the coast of Denmark. The
admiral commanding resolved to save the
young man, and ordered him to take charge
of the first boat which put off from the doom
ed ship. The grand duke disdained safety
thus bought and declined. "My duty is
here" he said to the admiral, "and must be
the last to leave the ship" "Do you not un-
derstand, sir" exclaimed the admiral, "that
you are under my commando And do you
dare to refuse obedience to my orders ?" II
know my duty" answered the midshipmsn,
"and will obey any orders you may see fit
to gise me, except an order to leave the ship,
where my duty now commands me to re.
main" The admiral gave up his point, and
Alexis was, as he had said he would be, the
last man to leave the ship, and after landing
was promptly ordered under arrest for disc.
bedience of orders. The grand duke submit
ted without lhurmur. The admiral sent
dispatches to the emperor detailing the affair,
and the emperor wrote: 81 approve your
having placed the midshipman, Alexis, IN
der arrest for disobedience, and I bless my
boy for having disobeyed."

A SCENE IN A RAILROAD AR.-The FOL-
lowing laughable incident is told by we'll
known Government ofice-holder who has moth
ing else to dc but ride on the cars, and as 'he
rides free, has numerous tales to tell Of hisob-
servations and experience:
"There were two seats in the car turned 30
as to face each other. One was occupied BY
a lady and the other Chinaman. Evident
ly the lady did not relish the presence of the
Chinaman. She explained to him that she
wanted to take the cushions and their frames
and place them. lengthwise across from seat to
seat. John said all rightee,' and got out in
the aisle while she proceeded to lie down on
the bed thus improvised, with her head rest
ing on her valise She supposed that the
Chinaman would take the hint that the lady
wanted to rest in the space usually occupied
by four persons. But John at once proceeded
to crawl in and stretch himself by her side,
with his head on little bundle of his own.
The Chinese are an initiative race, and like
to do as others do, you know. The lady, as
soon as she discovered that she had bed fel-
low, got up little wildly and started for the
next car, to the infinite amusement of the
passengers, who had been watching the little
scene with some interest. John took no no.
tice of the fun he had created, but went to
sleep with the whole bed to himself"
