REFoRMED.-At q recent Gospel Tenn
perance meeting in New Haven, Conn,
in connection with the Moody and San
key meetings, Rev. 4. J. Gordon gave
gratifying testimony to the steadfastness
of the twenty-five reformed men, who
united with the Clarendon Street Church
in Boston a year ago. He said that sign
ing the pledge, without seeking Gods
help, seemed to him of little avail
What IS wanted he added, is not
something for us to keep, but some one to
keep US.
In this connection we may add the tes-
timony of reformed man given recently
in the Mission Chapel in Water Street,
New York:
MY Christian friends, do thank God
from the bottom Of my heart that ever
came into this mission. was drunk
when came in here about thirteen months
ago. but / went out at the end Of the
meeting a sober and happy man, and
there wasn't horse car in Brooklyn that
went fast enough to carry me nome. got
out and ran so as to hurry to tell my
poor wife, who supposed | was in some
rum shop, | had found a Saviour tried
for years to save myself, and had friends
who spent hundreds of dollars to save me
from drunkenness. But couldn do It.
And they couldn't do it. Nobody but
Jesus can save a drunkard or any other
sinner; and if there IS any man, such as
| was, in here tonight who wants to get
away from sin Of every kind, just come to
Jesus, and be honest about it, and get
down on your knees and ask him TO save
you; and if YOU want him to, he will do
it. do praise his holy name every day
for saving me-

NUMBER "a.
A BIRDS ROMANTIC DEATH.

A lady who lives on Olive street, says
the St Louis Times, relates the follow
ing A few days ago there fell in front
of her window from tree 'chippy,
or ground bird, such as chatter about the
parks and streets 1t seemed wearicd and
crippled. She picked it up, carried 1t
into the house, fed it from her own mouth.
and at night placed it in the cage with
her canary. The canary at once bestowed
upon the new conner all the attention of
a mother, and nestled beside the little
stranger during the night. In the morn
ing the lady placed the chippy in the
window so that it might have the priv
lege of regaining its freedom. Itplumcd
its tiny wings and went away. The can
airy mourned during the day as if he had
lost his mate. In the evening the chippy
came back and perched upon the win
dow The sash was raised and it few in
and nestled upon the cage; the canary at
once struck up his iveliest notes and
seemed gratifed. This was repeated two
or three days, the chippy going each
morning and returning in the evening.
One day it went away and did not come
back. The canary dropped, and the next
day fell dead from his perch in the sun
shine that played over the gilded cage in
the window. That night the chippy
returned, and during the evening it
mouned over its dead companion. In
the morning it clung to the cage until it
was turned out. For "a few days the emp
ty cage was hung in the window, and on
each succeeding evening the chippy re-
turned and chirped as if it was grief
stricken. One day it brought worm in
its bill, dropped it in the cage, flew away
and came back no more.

AMERICAN MISSIONARIES.

A greater contrast TO the native people
than are the American missionaries in
Turkey it would be difficult to find Re
ceiving a small salary from the society in
America that sends them forth, they are
free from any suspicion of trying to in
crease their worldly wealth, directly or IN
directly Enthusiastic in what they con-
slider the good cause, they devote their
energies and even their lives to the edu-
cation and enlightenment Of the degraded
race among whom they labor. Most of
them are highly educated, some are pro-
foundly learned men. met gentleman

life had been devoted to good works in

with the plain, common sense for which

comfortable houses, and are simple and
unpretending in their habits, following as
near as possible the habits and customs of
their forefathcrs, to which they had been
accustomed before they left their native
land. They never drink wine nor smoke
tobacco, and though their liberation al

LACONIC SPEECHES.

The king of Zululand is said to have
recently addressed a note to a British
officer in South Africa, as follows: TX
cellency-First came the missionary; {;
next the Consul; now the army, Getty
wayo." This brief letter recalls some
short speeches and curt correspondence
which will doubtless be delightful reading
in these times of long harangues. A
Western judge charged jury in these
words: Gentlemen, the weather is ex-
trcmely hot; l am very old; you know
your duty-perform it.
Another American judge once inter
fered in an odd way to prevent waste
of words. He was sitting in chambers,
and seeing from the pile of papers in the
lawyers hands that certain case was
likely to be a long one, he asked, what
is the amount in question = 1.-Two dol
lars, your honor, said the plaintiff
counsel. I'll pay it, said the judge,
handing over the money; "call the next
case" An English judge was more
patient. He listened for couple Of days
to the arguments of counsel as to the
construction of an act, and finally obServ-
ed, when they were done: brothers,
that act was repealed year ago. One
morning a woman was shown into DIR.
Abernethy's room. Before he could speak,
she barred her arm, saying, Burn "A
poultice," said the doctor. Next day she
called again, showed her arm, and said,
Better" Continue the poultice, the
response. A few days afterward she
came again; then she said: "Well; your

clan; "you are the most sensible woman

ALONESOME MAN.

In the early days of California it was
the custom of miners who desired to
make remittance" through the express,
to receive from the express company
coined gold in exchange for nuggets
and "dust." This business was done on
Saturday evenings in a little ,hanty, near
which unfortunately, there was almost
always another devoted to gambling,
where many an unlucky miner lost his
all. One Saturday evening dark-vis-
aged, morose man sat in one of the offices
of the express company, looking as if he
had not only lost all his money, but every
friend he eve had The door suddenly
opened, and in walked hardy looking
young miner, wearing pleasant, cheer
ful face and with 4 brisk and business

which formed the counter, he deposited
his dust took his coin, and was about
to go, when, turning again to the clerk.
he said, Il think you made mistake in
