THE SHADOW AND THE SUBsTANcE.-It
is common to think of men whose out
ward lives are respectable as not differing,
except as one man has "more to him
than another. We see two men OF the
same occupation, who spend their active
hours In each others company. and to the
casual observer they are much alike; for
the trades which men follow, and the re-
lations they sustain in business, are often
the same with the good and the bad. Their
talk of goods, Stock lands and state affairs
are the same. They buy and sell by the
same rule. Perhaps they attend the same
church. Yet how different the motives of
life may be! The acts of one may be
constant exercise of selfshness.-of the
other discipline to holiness of character.
These are thoughts, reader. that ought to
be considered before we sit in judgment
on our fellow-men.
Two men work at a bench. They use
the same tools, fashion the same articles,
say many of the same things. One loves
God, the other does not believe in Him.
The presence of one is felt in the prayer
meeting. the other sneers at religion. Yet
in the kindness of their acts to Il neighbor,
Ill lIe lnOTdlllV Vi tHelT lives, tncJ dlO
much alike. How can it be said, then, that
there is such distinction between men.
as that of an irrelgious and a religious
manP In tho silence of their thoughts and
meditations.-in those hours when God
talks with the believing heart,-the differ
ence may be rs great as between light and
darkness. Through the mind Of one pass
currents of pure thoughts, while the mind
of the other revels in the low and sensual,
having as little conception of the higher
life of the soul, as swine wallowing in
mire has of bird OF the air. Thus it is
that the Bible speaks of the hidden life :"
as the Christian life. While no man can
be partaker Of that hidden life if his out
ward life is in opposition to it, and while
men may be deceived by resemblances,
He who seeth in secret observes the pure
in heart rs they walk carefully and
earnestly life's path,-sometimes in tears
of penitence for shortcomings: but tears
which flow inwardly. cleansing the soul.
"They shall be mine. saith the Lord,
when | make up my jewels. Golden
Rule.

A GENEROUS CATTLE DEALER.-The
most peculiarly noticeable of our ex-
changes is the R)ckport (Texas) 7rans-
cript, the eighth page of which is filled
with ftlc Sjnajies Of cattle and sheep
brands. A curious medley of devices is
presented, very much resembling Egyp-
tian hieroglyphics; and a single column Of
the advertisements might pass for an illus
tration of Cleopatra's needle. Cattle run
free in Texas and their owners advertise
these brands the year round. One gencr-
GUS cattle dealer. Mr.. John Tinnon, pub
fishes this notice: "All honest, good, in,
dustrious, poor men, with families, are
welcome to kill an occasional calf of mine
for food, provided they do not waste the
meat, and all my honest neighbors are
welcome to skin and sell the hides of my
dead animals, but living animals must be
untouched"

A RACE WITH FRE.-Col. Leon and a
Mr.. Perry, the lessees of Canyon ferry, at
the head of the Magpie, in Montana, re.
Gently started down the mountain road be-
hind u pair of horses. The wind swept
violently from summit to base, and with
it floated great clouds of smoke, party OF
prospectors having the day before let their
camp-tires get away with them. About 3
O'Clock in the afternoon, the colonel and
his companion realized that the whole vast
incline back of them was in flames and
that the fire was travelling down the
mountain with great rapidity. With u
crooked, rocky and in some places unbrok-
en- road before them, they naturally felt
alarmed. What was to be done must be
done with the utmost dispatch. The only
hope lay in outstripping the fire. Col Leon
put whip 10 the horses, and the animals
dashed along the verge of precipices al
breakneck speed. The booming of falling
timber and the roar and crackle of flames
almost drowned the voices of the noun
taineers. Hot blasts of air had nearly ex-
hausted the horses when it was found, on
making a sharp turn in the road, that il
had been choked up by tumbling rocks and
debris of pine that had come down from
above. The men were obliged to clear the
road, which took many minutes. When
they again started trees were falling all
about them, the atmosphere was thick
with smoke and impregnated with the
fumes of burning pitch. A sharp run ol
Il quarter of II mile brought the colonel
under cover ola clearing on the
mountain side. and he escaped. Helena

The SULTAN AND SATAN.-rhere is an
eastern story of sultan who oversight
himself, so as not to awaken at the hour of

him, and told him to get up and pray.
Who are you? said the sultan.
Oh no matter, replied the other; my act
is good. is it not? No matter who does
the good action, so long as it is good.
Yes. replied the sultan but think you

That's all very well. replied the saga

TO know why you want me to go up and
pray.
Well, said the devil. with flirt of i'm
patience, if you want TO know, l will tel
you. If you had slept and forgotten youl
prayers, you would have been sorry for il

as now, and do not neglect single prayer

yourself that it will be worse for you thar

"A BRAVE KABBIT.-The common opin.
ion is that 4 rabbit is too timid to be
aggressive. A writer in Forest and
Stream tells the story of a fight between a
rabbit and a snake, which shows that,
when mother, the gentle rabbit can be
fierce and brave when in defence of her
offspring.
During the morning, one of my children
come in with very white face, and an
account of large white snake, Just seen
in the back yard, A few minutes later, a
peculiar squealing or crying in the corner
where the snake was reported attracted
my attention, and running hastily in that
direction, was astohished to see the last
half of long chicken snake projecting
from under picket fence, and wild
rabbit biting and stamping on it, appar-
emily making determined effort to hold
on and prevent the snake from going
entirely under.
A second later and before my presence
seemed to be noticed by the combatan,s.
the cause of the rabbits efforts and of the
peculiar noise was manifested by the
appearance on one side of the fence o. the
snakes head with tiny rabbit in its jaws.
The little rabbit was held by the hind
quarters and was struggling and crying
vigorously for the liberty that blow from
my stick, administered to the back of the
snake, secured 10 it. The little fellow
seemed uninjured, and ran off a rod or so,
when the mother rabbit, who had retreated
Il little at my near approach, joined it, and
leading the way at n deliberate gait, took
it to the woods near by.

DOES 1T PAY?-Does it pay to find
fault? You who are the wise keepers OF
houses. and the dear keepers OF heart. does
it pay?
There are, perhaps. heavy burdens to
bear all day-manifold cares from the
rising to the setting of the sun-blunders
made by those who should have known
better, many and many thing tn annoy
but don't make cold and cherries the
home atmosphere by finding fault.
There is no blight more deadly in its
Misunderstanding that can more surely
disturb the harmony of home. nothing that
will recoil more quickly upon yourself
than this habit OF fault finding.
Not that errors should go unrebuked, or
mistakes uncorrected; but note such down
in your memory, and when the work. and
care, and tumult Of the day are all over,
then call the little ones and the larger
ones around, and tell them soberly but
kindly of the wrong doings. and see if
you are not amply repaid for your forbear-
ance by the smile, and the tear. and the
little word Of contrition and promise of
amen dment.
You will be a thousand times happier
when you lie down to sleep, and sweet
forgetfulness has settled over your little
flock, than you would have been had the
blue eyes now closed been filled with
bitter tears that overtlowed at unkind
censure. or had the little golden head
dropped under the shadow OF your con-
stant frown.
How fair. and sweet, and satisfying. life
might be to US all, if we would forget to
fret, and find fault and complain.
Don't save your words of praise and
appreciation until it is too late. You love
little children-the dear little children
And if they do speak loud, and leave doors
open that should be shut. and disturb the
order of the house, don't find fault. 1t
won't pay.-Chicago Statesman.
