The Worlds Gold.

The entire amount Of gold in the
world at present is estimated at near.
ly seven billions $1,000, 10000 of
value in United States coinage. A
billion is such a big number that the
average mind scarcely takes it in. "A
thousand millions is more readily

foot Of gold would weigh, therefore,
over nineteen thousand ounces avoir-

gold is worth, as we reckon, rather
more than SIS; so that a cubic foot Of
the precious metal would have a value
of about s3S3.333. A cubic yard Of
gold, being twenty-seven times as

A lady in the street met little
girl between two and three years old,
evidently lost, and crying bitterly.
The lady took the baby's hand and
asked where she was going.
"Down to find my papa" was the
sobbing reply.
"What is your papa's name p ask
cd the lady.
ellis 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, "You had better come
with me. guess you came this
way"
"Yes, but | don't want to 20 back.
| want to find my papa" replied the
little girl, crying afre9h as II her heart
would break.
"What do you want of your papa?"
asked the lady.
II want to kiss him.
Just at that time sister Of the
child who had been searching for her
came along and took possession of the
runaway. From inquiry it appeared
that the little ones papa, whom she
was earnestly seeking, had recently
died, and she, tired Of waiting for
him to come home, had gone out to
find him. cleveland Herald.

A FLOATING PAPER.-There is one
newspaper in this country whose Office
is never, or at least hardly ever, at a
stand still. If three movings are as
bad as { fire, this Journal must be in
constant state of conAagratiOn. The
paper is probably never printed on
exactly the same spot on this universe.
1t is a sort of journalistic tramp. its
name is the Golden Rule Pilot, and it
is printed and published on board the
fine steamer Golden Rule which phys
between Cincinnati and New Orleans,
a distance of 1900 miles. The mot.
to of the paper is the golden rule OF
course. The Pilot is lively paper,
but steers clear of politics.

ABsTAcr CHRISTIANITY USELESS.
1t is well TO remember that an alb.
stract Christianity is neither useful
nor beautiful. The value Of ii is on
ly seen when it becomes a habit Of
living. The most shapely and beau
tiful garment loses its symmetry and
beauty when it is cast of and laid up
on couch or hung upon a peg. Let
it be put on by its owner, and you at
once perceive its comeliness. Some
thing like this is true Of the religion
of Christ. 1t is not meant to be
judged or criticised apart from the
lives of men; but when the robe Of
Chrisfs righteousness is put on and
worn, its beauty is revealed to all be
holders. Sunday Afternoon.

assented, and he took deliberate aim
at the British soldier as he struggled

cracked, and he who wore the bright

the fight was over, Captain McCutchin
had a curiosity to see the accuracy OF
his mans aim; and he ordered him to

The soldier was found lying on his
