A Touching Incident.

A lady in the street met little girl be-
tween two and three years old, evidently
lost, and crying bitterly. The lady took
the baby's hand and asked where she
was going.
" Down town, to find my papa" was
the sobbing reply.
"What is your papa's name ?" asked
the lady.
"His name is papa"
" But what is his other name. What
does your mamma call him 2"
"She calls him papa persisted the
little creature.
The lady then tried to lead her along,
saying:
6 You had better come with me. /
guess you came from this way"
I" Yes; but don't want to go back.
1 want to find my papa" replied the
little girl, crying afresh as if her heart
would break.
"What do you want of your papa ?''
asked the lady.
g / want to kiss him."
Just at this time sister of the child
who had been searching for her came
along and took possession of the little
runaway. From inquiry it appeared
that the little ones papa, whom she was
so earnestly seeking, had recently died,
and she, tired of waiting for him to
come home, had gone QUITO find him.

A Slow Train.

MTE ARE frequently indebted to our
w friend Colonel Yard, of the Mon
mouth Democrat" for anecdotes illus
trative of the character of the peculiar
people who live in New Jersey. He
sends us this:
The Hon. @. TELLS a good story
of slow railroad in the northern part
of the State. He says he went there
cunning, and came to a short line of
road on which was run single car, the
forward end of which was partitioned
off for baggage. He took his dog in the
car with him and put him under the
seat. Presently the conductor came
along, and insisted that the dog should
go into the baggage-room, which, after
some alteration, was done; but here
the baggage-master demanded q fee of
fifty cents, which was denounced as a
swindle,' "put-up job, " between the
conductor and the baggage master, and
sooner than pay it he would tie the dog
to the train and let him work his pas
sage"
The conductor assented, and the dog
was hitched to the rear of the train
The dog, so T says, kept along
easily with the train, but the conductor
began to get uneasy, making frequent
trips to the engineer, urging him to in
crease the speed of the train, and back
again to watch the effect upon the dog.
The latter began to show signs of .fa-
tigue, but after while caught his 81 sec
ond wind,' and was keeping along as
before. The conductor now ordered the
engineer to heave all the. coal into the
furnace and stir up the fire, which being
done, the speed perceptibly increased
The conductor again went to the rear to
observe the effect, but the dog had dis
appeared, whereupon he triumphantly
called T--'s attention to the fact
The latter, after taking glance. at the
! situation, quietly pointed to a crack in

" You'll Have to Stand ~

One ii me, Henry Ward Beecher went
down to Boston to lecture. In the after
noon he went into barbar shop of great
tone and refinement to be shaved. The
barber was garrulous little fellow who
entertained Mr.. Beecher, while he lath.
ared his face, with intellectual conversa-
ton. He asked, 'Are you going to
the lecture this evening Y'
Oh" Mr.. Beecher replied YEARLY,
as man who didn't take much stock
in lectures.
don't know; who's going to lee
tureY"
Woh," the amazed barber exclaimed,
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher; Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, of Brooklyn.
Going to lecture tonight in Music
Hail."
Mr.. Beecher reused up little with an
air of Indifferent interest. "Oh, well, y
he said " If he is going to lecture, 1
guess I'll have to CO."
Got your ticket ?" the barber ratified
on. "Got your ticket 2"
No." Mr.. Beecher replied, 81 have
no ticket"
The barber laughed merrily. "Ha,
ha, ha," he shouted You'll have to
stand up! Seats all gone two days ago I;
you'll have to stand up"
Well, now" said Mr. Beecher, with
an air of grave vexation, "do you know
that is just my luck? l was in Brooklyn
last Sunday, went over to Plymouth
Church twice, to hear that fellow preach
morning and evening, and both times
had to stand up all through the SER
mon."
And as he went away the still unen-
lightened barber laughed at the man
who would have to stand up at Mr..
Beecher's lecture.

The Biggest not the Brayest.

1t is the first battle that tells the cour-
age of the soldier. Many think before
the battle that nothing can frighten
them. When it begins they are panic
stricken, and run in disgrace. Col. Ches-
ter, of Conn, who commanded COM
pany of his townsmen at Bunker Hill,
used to tell good story of two of his
soldiers in that battle. A large and
powerful man standing by the side of a
pale-faced youth of slender figure, said
to the comrade
Man, you had better retire before tn e
fight begins. You will faint away when
the bullets begin to whiz around your
head"
The pale STRIPPING replied:
Il don't know but shall, as 1 never
heard one, but will stay and see."
He did stay, and was seen by Col.
Chester during the battle, calm and
firm, loading and firing with great cool.
ness. But the burly giant by his side
was missing, and at the retreat was
found alive and unharmed, secreted un-
der hay cock. Boastful words and
moral courage to face any danger rarely
go together

blood mounted to the very forehead of
my lady monitor.
Mrs. Gilmore smiled briefly, and as the
light faded from her countenance, said
In her grave, impressive way;
trust we are beginning to under
stand each other. But thluk word
or two more Is required to make my po-
sition clear.
In arranging for my husbands SER
vices no stipulation was made In regard
to mine.
If the congregation expected servi-
ces from me, the fact should have been
stated. Then would have communl-
Gated my view in the case, and informed
the congregation that had neither time
nor taste for public duties.
If this had been unsatisfactory, the
proposition to my husband could have
been withdrawn. Asst Is, stand un-
pledged beyond any lady in the parish,
and what Is more, shall remain unpledg-
ed. claim no privileges, no rights, no
superiority. ! am only woman, wife,
and a mother-your sister and your
equal-and as such 1 ask your sympa-
thy, your kindness, and your fellow
ship. If there are ladies in the congre-
CATION who have the time, the inclina-
ton, and the ability to engage in the
more public uses to be found in all re-
liglous societies, let them, by all means,
take the precedence. They will have
their reward in just the degree that they
act from purified Christian motives.
AS for me, my chief duties, as L have
said before, lie ut home, and, God being
my helper, L will faithfully do them"
Right, Mrs. Gilmore, right !" said i,
speaking for the first time, but with
warmth that showed my earnestness.
You have stated the case exactly.
When we engaged your husbands SER
vices nothing was stipulated, as you
have said, in regard to yours, and now
see that no more can be justly required
of you than of any other lady in the
congregation. Igive you my hand as
an equal and "a sister, and thank you for
having put my mind right on subject
that has always been little confused" "
"She knows how to take her own
part" said my companion as we walk
ed away from the house of our minister.
Her manner was little crestfallen.
She has right and common sense on
her side,' answered, and if we had
a few more such minister's wives in
our congregations, they would teach
the people some lessons, needful to be
learned.n
was very favorably impressed with
Mrs. Elmore on the occasion of this
visit, and shall call to see heragain right
early.
To think how much hard talk and
uncharitable judgement there has been
in regard to her, and all because as
woman of good sense and clear percep-
ton she understood her duty in our own
way, and as she understood it, perform
ed it to the letter. L shall take good
care to let her view of the case be
known. She will rise at once in the
estimation of all whose good opinions
are worth having.
We are done with complaints about
our minister's wife, 1 trust. She has
defined her position so clearly that none
but the most stupid or self-willed can
frail to see where she stands.

1t is estimated that the foreign
and domestic oyster trade of this country
exceeds in value the enormous sum of
$500, 100000. 1t is probable, however,
that in this calculated value of trade
that is undoubtedly enormous. the aggre-
gate sum of the oysters sold at stands
and restaurants is estimated at the prices
for which they retail. But even after
allowing literally for this, the oyster
trade of the United States assumes i'm
mense proportions. We have no sta
tistics at hand to arrive at any just cal
culations of the quantity sent out from
Baltimore, but there is scarcely town
this side of the Rocky Mountains where
one may not during the fall and winter
see the familiar sign, Baltimore Oys-
ters," exposed to view, nor many where
one may not enjoy the luxury of an
oyster supper by ordering it. A crusade,
therefore, against an article in such
universal use may seem Quixotic, but if
we do no more than create a healthy pub
lie sentiment in favor of putting sternly
down such of these lickersome but treach-
erous mollusks as get themselves shucked
and thrust tauntingly under our noses,
daring us as it were, to put them where
they belong, we shall feel that life, after
all, has not been altogether in vain.
