The Drunkard and his Child.

Ikucw poor, deluded drunkard, who
blasphemed Gods name, and ruined his
family, and did everything that was bad.
This man went home one night, when
his wife had been ont washing; | think
it was tenpence she had for her days
work, and the man said, "Give me that
money" She said, 81 want it to buy
my children some bread for tomorrow"
He said he would have it, and they be-
gan struggling, and then he began to
beat her; and his little child came in,
and got between her father and mother,
and looked at the father, and said, "Oh,
father, don't beat my mother; beat me,
father, but don't beat my poor mother"
The father looked at his little child, and
pushed her out of the way, and struck
her till the blood poured out of her lit
tie face, and she still cried to her father
not to beat her mother, and then she
said, "Lord, save my father" | was
sent for while they were quarrclling in
that way, and when went into the
house the poor man seemed cowed
down and ashamed OF the wrong he
had done. | knew that that poor wo-
man was child of God, and that God
had given her liberty. When went
in, the little girl said, "Mr. Weaver,
doesn't it say, that whatever we ask in
faith, believing, it shall be done?" "Yes,
il does, my dear" said |. "Then let
you, and my mother, and me ask God to
save my father she said. ave love
him; don't we, mother?r eyes, we
do" said the poor mother. every we'll,
them" said the little girl, ''let MS pray
for him." "That is right" said. And
the little girl knelt down and prayed.
and she said, "My friend, and |, and my
mother, agree to ask Thee to save my
father. o Lord, save my father. O
Lord, save my father" She prayed and
then her mother prayed; then | got mp
and talked to him; and while | was
talking | saw the tears roll down his
cheeks, and he dropped the money out
of his hands on the floor, aud at last he
knclt down too. l told him, though he
he had been bad and wicked father.
Christ's blood could save him. He was
there groaning for liberty, and prayed
for ten or twenty minutes. At last the
poor little girl put up her hands, and
she said, so my God, save my father
this moment; save my father now"
And as she prayed, it pleased the Lord
TO set him free, and he jumped up, and
cried, "Glory be to God! lido believe;
do believe; l do believe" All, yes,
"This is the victory that overcometh
hell, even our faith" May the Lord
help you.

"That is rare picture, sir; very rare

The Brains OF Criminals.
from the Medic9l Examiner

From the MeQ1C0l EXamlnor.J
In our last letter we published a very
interesting letter from our Vienna c. rres-
pondent, in which brief summary was
given Of Professor Benedict's researches on
the brains and skulls of criminals. The
snbject is an important one, both from a
physiological and a psychological point Of
view, and is to be hoped that more extend
ed and more precise inquiries will be made
upon it, for the results which DR.. Bene-
dict has obtained, though very important,
are not sufficiently numerous to warrant
any large induction. Up to the present
DR.. Benedict has examined the brains Of
sixteen criminals, all of which, on COM
parison with the healthy brain, he finds to
be abnormal. Not only has he found that
these brains deviate from the normal type,
and approach toward that of animals, but
he has been able to classify them, and with
them the skulls in which they were con-
tanned, in three categories. These consist
in: First, absence of symmetry between
the two halves of the brain; second, an ex-
cessive obliquity Of the anterior part Of the
brain or skull-in fact, continuation up
ward of what we term sloping forehead /;
third, distinct lessening Of the posterior
part Of the skull in its long diameter, and
with it diminution in size of the,posterior
cerebral lobes, 80 that, as in the lower ami
mails, they are not large enough to hide
the cerrebellum. In all these peculiarities
the criminals brain and skull are distinct
ly Of lower type than those of normal
men, and the interesting question arises,
how far are the evil acts of the criminal to
be attributed to his retrograde develop
ment DR.. Watts can pardon the vicious
propensity of "bears and lions," on the
ground that "God had made them So" If
he had forseen these new inquiries he
might have felt less hopeful when he bade
his listle readers not to "let their angry
passions RISE" The result Of DR.. Bene-
diets researches, if confirmed by further
examination, will do much to shake many
beliefs now firmly fixed.
