Fifteen Cents on.

A Detroiter, who dresses well and
has a reasonable share of good looks,
had occua.on last week to make Q TIP,
in the country, and one night he found
himself at farm house at which
party was to como off. ,,He was invit-
ed to participate in the festivities, ard
after he had consented the old farmer
took him around the corner of the
house and said "The young folks
are mighty fond of any game, with
kissing in it. They'll get up some
thing and fix it to make you kiss the
handsomest gal in the room" "Well
III kiss her." was the prompt reply.
ayes, but hold on little" continued
the old man. "There's my gal En-
ma. We think she's as purity as any
of EN-, but certain folks around here
kinder sniff at her cause her nose
crooks bit and her hair is a tritle
high colored. Now | want you to

the room. It'll do the ole woman
good, do Em. good, and kinder set
these suffers back Il little. l don't
ask you to kiss her for nothing, but it
you'll do 1t I'll throw fifteen cents offn
your bill in the morning. What dye
say" The young man said he'd do
it, and the father continued: "Thats
the checker. Don't have any make.
believe about it, but kiss her right pop
out, SO that we can all hear the
smack" !" The game was played, the
Detrolter was "ixed," and he kissed
"Em." like the pop Of a pistol. He
felt all the happier for it that night,
seeing how greatly the old woman
was pleased, but the next forenoon as
he logged along, he had to run the
gauntlet of a score of farmers sons,
waiting in fence corners to lick him
because he placed their ''gals" by for
EN-" He was struck by thirteen
stones, six clubs and about bushel of
potatoes before he got out of the
neighborhood, and when he came to
figure up he realized that fifteen cents
was no inducement at ALL Detroit

Old Hickory's Death bed

Mrs. Wilcox was present at the Gen

Sabbath morning in the June Of 1S45,
and she describes it as a scene never
to be forgotten. He bade them all
adeu in the tenderest terms, ond en-
joined them, young and old, white
and black, to meet him in heaven.
All were in tears, and when he had
breathed his last the outburst Of grlet
was irrepressible. The congregation
at the little Presbyterian church on
the plantation, which the General had
built to CRAFTY his deceased wife, the
morning service over, came tlocking
to the manson as his eyes were closed,
and added their bewailment to the
general sorrow.
Shortly after this moumtul event
Mrs. w. encountered an old servant
in the kitchen, who was sobbing as
though her heart would break. "Ole
missus is gone" she brokenly said to
the child, "and now ole massa's gone;

The Concealments Of Nature.
From o sermon by Prof. swing,l

From o sermon by Prof. Swing,l
While it is the will Of God 10 con.
ceal some things that seem to us OF
tremendous import, yet in great kind
ness be permits man to search out the
laws and duties OF this present life,
and seems to repeat daily the words,
'You may learn all about earth, all
abou. your sciences and arts, and best
laws aud customs. | shall deny moth
ing that shall make your state wiser
or your home happier 1t is rs though
we were informed that q perfect de-
velopment Of our earthly career would
be n preparation for anything that
may follow our last sleep. You NOR
tai take good care of time aud | will
take care of eternity.
But, after all these kind concessions
from the Author OF Nature there are
yet many heavy hearts in the world
over those great concealments which
lie IN the field of religion-the un.
demonstrated future llfc, the uncertain
time of death. What vast secrets are
thus a, ound us ? Men are still inquir-
ing who and what God may he.
Whether there is second life !
When and where death will come !!
These problems have always been be-
fore man, and to day, after all the
thousands OF years of inquiry and ex-
perience they remain the cardinal
mysteries of this world. Men keep
saying, "Man goeth to bis long home"
Men continue to speak of "the dark
valley and shadow of death" just as
though Christianity had not made the
valley light; had not dispelled the
shadow. We keep repeating the SOL
emn words, "that bourne whence no
traveller returns" as though the not
returning were the only certain part
in the thought. And although the
highest science has studied disease and
its cure, and has said that man ought
to live one century, yet nature will
permit no such result, and the words,
sin the midst of life we are in death,
stand forever and true in the book Of
common prayer. Strong men in
youth and middle life who meet US
one day on the streets are next among
the dead. Some who have sung
hymns here in peace and even joy up
on one Sunday, have been hidden
away in the grave before the next day
of religion had come. Thus are there
secrets which no study, no prayers, NO
tears can wiring from the close lips OF
nature.
AT times there rushes in some new
shape of thought, some analogy OF
Butler, or come natural theology OF
Paley, which promises more light, and
then comes spiritualism. that OF
Swedenborg, and then that more ma
terial kind of later days, which de-
clares an actual exchange of language
and sentiment between those who
once lived and those who live now ;
but it is evident that. after many years
of this alleged communion have
passed by, full to thu brim of expert
ence, the words of Solomon still re.
main in the old strength, that sit Is
the will of God to conceal thing
Modern spiritualism, which has made
most promises of late years, IS found
to day laying more plans aud devising
harder tests, as though not yet perfect

A Custom OF the Country,

The massacre recently perpetrated by
the king of Burmah, at which over
eighty of his relatives lost their lives.
frightful as it appears, is merely one
more example of custom 80 universal
in the East that it may almost claim
rank as recognized institution. The
natural commencement of every Oriental
reign is the slaughter or disablement of
all possible pretenders to the throne;
and the annals, not merely of Burmah,
but of Persia, Turkey, Afghanistan and
Bomara TEEN of instances too frightful
for quotation. AS recently as the close
of the last century, Western traveller
found one of the royal princes of Persia
going about with a bandage over his
eyes, and on questioning him was told
in matter of-course air which made the
statement doubly horrible, that "as his
eldest brother would certainly put out
his eyes on mounting the throne, he was
teaching himself to dispense with the
use of them" The Turkish sultan.
Mahmoud, famous for his destruction
of the Janissaries in 1926, owed his
elevation to the fact of his being the
only member of the royal family left un-
slaughtered; and the multiplied butcher
les of Mehemet Ali are still fresh in
every ones recollection.
