HE Stands Fire.

Some time ago was walking along the
strand, in London, when overlook one Of
finest looking soldiers had ever seen. A
conversation ensued, In the course of which
said to him, There is one thing in con-
nection with soldiers which puzzles me-"
"What is that. sir ?" asked the soldier.
replied: "No one dares 10 doubt the
bravery of British soldier; he will rush
up to the cannon's mouth, although he
knows that it will be certain death to do
and yet many a British soldier. SO brave,
SO courageous, and so daring, is ashamed
to kneel down in the barrack- room and Of
fer up the prayer taught him by his moth
er. l cannot understand that of the Brit
ish soldier"
well, sir, that's true: very few men
have courage to do that"
"How is this-hOw do you account for
itg' / inquired.
"Well, sir, you remind me of what Oc-
Cured in my bedroom at the barracks a
short time ago. A fresh man came in. and
the first night, when he was going to bed,
he knelt down by his beside to pray. And
there was a hullabaloO. While he was on
his knees some of the men threw their
belts at Linn, some laughed, some whistled,
and one fellow jumped over bed and
shouted in his ears, but the newcomer was
firm, and went ON with his prayer. On
the second night every one was on the
lookout to see whether he would kneel
down again. As soon as the man bent his
knees, a strange scene followed. Whis-
Ting, jeering and mocking was general,
and belts were again hurled at his head.
Still, he went on saying his prayers, and
seemed not to notice their jeers or abuse.
On the third night, when he began to pray
there was not so much noise as on the sec
ond night, On the fourth and fifth nights
he continued his prayers, but on each sue
ceeding night the opposition grew less and
less. On the sixth night, while he was
kneeling, one of the soldiers in the room
exclaimed, HE stands fire. He stands
fire. He's genuiner And from that very
night every man in the room began to re
spect him."-British Workman.

One morning recently, upon looking To-
ward the mountains south of town, We
were somewhat surprised TO see the pine
trees all bending in one direction, as
though bowed by q terrific windstorm,
while the morning was clear and calm
not q breath of air in motion Upon closer
inspection the phenomenon was easily &C
counted for; During the day before heavy
windstorm had swept over the mountains,
accompanied by. rain and snow, and the
steady force of the wind held the branches
of the trees in the bending, crouching posi-
ton, while the snow weighed them down,
and the rain freezing upon them as it fell
fastened them in that shape with unyield-
ing bonds of ice; and so they remained
until old Sol mercifully set them free
ashland (Ore) Tidings.

John Dougherty, Claude Gilbert, and two others, were arrested, Wednesday, for breaking into the house of Milo Hart, brought before Justice Hickox, and fined each one dollar and costs, amounting in all to three dollars; a very light sentence we should think, considering the of- fence.
