The Self. Forgetfalness Of Christ.

ing himself" Once before there had
been this same contrast. Six days pre-
ceding the TRANSPORTATION, Jesus had
told the Apostles how many things He
must suffer of the Chief Priests and the
Scribes, and be crucified. Peter, with
the spirit that looks first after personal
safety, spoke ont in tone almost OF
rebuke, q Be it far from Thee, Lord;
this shall not be unto Thee"
Christ reproved Peter severely as an
/. g offense' unto Him. saying, Thou
savorest not the things that be of God,
but that be of men, That dark hour
in the shadow Of the Cross revealed the
true character of both Peter and Christ.
The things that be of God, those which
are most truly God like, are self-forget-

Of Christ is yet more wonderful IN that
scene where palms were waving before
Him and hosannas were sounding IN
His ears when the multitude were hail
ing Him as their King, Even then he
thought only of others, and wept over
Jerusalem because of its coming pun
ishment for rejecting Him. Men some
time think of Gethsemane as the agony
that Christ felt on account OF His own
rejection and His own sufferings. No!
it was too grand for any thought OF His
own interests. The lead that weighed
Him down with agony and bloody
sweat was not the dread Of death, but
the keen realization of the worlds sin

His crushing load: " He bore our sins;''

need for their health and comfort.

1t is claimed that hog cholera is more
prevalent and more fatal this year in
shaded or timber pastures than in the
prairie where there is no shade, or only
half shade supplied by rail or board
fences.
Prepare to make everything about
you comfortable for winter. The fam
ly, hogs, horses and cattle have a right
to look to the head of the house and
farm for comfort and plenty. And it is
a fearful responsibility which no one
can innocently dodge.
Avery able writer claims that hog
cholera is caused by what he calls NAL
nutrition. This is nothing more than
imperfect digestion and assimilation of
food, and is what is called, in the hu-
man system, dyspepsia. -''ia-a

A Jolly Jewish Funeral.

SOME days since, a very much soiled
and somewhat decayed corpse was
found in New York cellar. 1t had a
Hebrew cast of countenance that was
unmistakable, and when the body was
removed to the Morgue for exposure
and Identification, this fact was pub
lisheI. Now, Isaac Samuels had been
missing for three months. He had
wandered off from home, as he had
sometimes done before, and stayed
longer than usual In the meantime
his family had neither seen nor heard
anything from him or of him. A son
of Isaac Samuels, Louis Samuels by
name, went to the Morgue to see the
unknown corpse, and instantly and I'M
hesitatingly identified it and made affi-
davit that the corpse in question was
that of his father-Isaac Samuels-an
further, that his father had been in the
habit of drinking for several years. had
lost everything he owned through the
habit, and that he had often been alb
sent from home for several weeks at a
time. He had been absent three months
this time, and had not been seen by any
of his relatives nor had he applied to
any of them for aid. A brother-in-law
of Samuels also identified the corpse as
that of Isaac Samuels, without any hes
itation. Under these circumstances the
corpse was given up to the Samuels
family and they announced the funeral
and made all due preparations for that
solemn event. The corpse was in the
coffin and the grave was dug, and the
family and friends were assembling in
the funereal room. But Louis Sam
uels was not there. He had gone
out in the morning on some errand of
preparation for the last scene. He had
q very strange adventure. He saw
man approaching him on the street who
looked like his father. The apparition
was as much like Isaac Samuels as the
Ghost in Hamlet is like the dead
King of Denmark. and it proved to be
much more natural than the dead Dane.
Louis was left no time to doubt. His
father shook hands heartily with him,
was very glad to see him, and piled him
with many anxious questions about
family affairs. He was flesh and blood,
and intelligence, and in a much happier
mood than usual. He was very much
alive. The father and son went to the
house of mourning, where, after the
first gust of terror and establishment,
there was a general round of congratu-
lations over the corpse which had de-
ceived all. Isaac Samuels gazed on his
counterpart in the coffin, and was as
much bewildered as any of the mourn
ers. Everybody was delighted except
the undertaken, for it was evident there
was going to be no immediate funeral
in the Samuels family. But there was
no doubt the corpse was Jewish. The
stamp of the race could not be mis-
taken. The Hebrew Benevolent Socie-
ty accordingly took charge of the affair
and relieved the Samuels family from
the duty of acting as chief mourners.

From the GALAXY
Not they who know the awful gibbet's anguish,
Not they who, while sad years go by them, in
The sunless cells of lonely prisons langish,
Do suffer fullest penalty for sin.
'Tis they who walk the highways unsupported,
Yet with grim fear forever at their side,
Who clasp the corpse of some sin undetected
A corpse no grave Or coffin lid can hide.
Tis they who are in their own chambers haunted
BY thoughts that like unwelcome guests in
trude,
And sit down unlimited and unwantcd,
And make nightmare of the solitude

The Hard Struggle.

I've looked on poverty undismayed,
His cold breath on my cheek,
Eve seen him crouchlng at my bed,
When winds blew shrill and bleak.
I've watched him crawling to my board,
TO snatch my scanty food,
Bnt never suffered hin-no, not once
To scare me where / stood.
I've fought him upright like man
That only feared disgrace;
And hit him hard, and laid him low,
And scorned him to his face!
I've strugg led-sure of victory,
Determined, come what might,
1t should be lifelong struggle
For victory and right.

Standing Alone.
BY MRS. NJ. Z. HANDY.

The baby is standing all 'loneyr'
The children shout in their glee-
And father and mother and auntie
Must hurry and come to see. &c..
So baby-the cute little darling!
is put through the wonderful feat.
And fondled and kissed and commended
For being so smart and so sweet.
with the cunningest air of triumph
She stands in the midst of us all
While the outstretched arm of her mother
Is ready to save fall,
And whenever the little one totters
Around her is hastily thrown.
lis very fine fnn-thinks the baby
This frolic of Standing Alone!
All, many time in the future
She'll long for the aid of that arm.
When the love and care of a mother
No longer can shield her from harml
For oft when our need Is the sorest
There's no one to whom we can turn
And Standing Alone is a lesson
It's hard for a woman to learn.
And often and over, my baby,
Before life's long journey is done,
You will yearn in your hours of weakness
For something to lean upon,
When the props upon which you depended
Are taken aware or o'erthrown,
You will find it is wcarsome, baby
So wearisome Standing Alone
