Do not Wait.

Do not wait to become more
learned; do not wait to become
perfect in yonr own strength, which
is impossible do not wait tor anv
miraculous work on your soul ; do
not wait to accomplish this or that
Plan do not wait Tor a more con-
venient season, fer none will be
afforded. Ii your mind has been
drawn to your religions duty, and
yon have simple desire to know
and love the Lord our Saviour,
then fear to repress such desire lest
it should never return The gra-
cions Saviour, to begin at once His
work upon your soul, only demands
from You the desire to receive His
pardoning grace, and allow Him to
mould you mere and more after
His own likeness. He is no hard
master watching for opportunities
to condemn. He is gentle S,~i-
our waiting to prepare you Tor His
grace, waiting for the smallest
yielding on your part to draw you
fully to Himself. Without youc
full and free consent, He will mot
accept your allegiance. Without
your full and free consent He will
not bestow His gifts, leaving Won
to reap the fruits of your own
ch oice.-S Selected.

The Baptist Standard tells the

The Baptist Standard tells the
the following good story. A parson
who wanted to change wrote to DR..
Dobbs, and at the same time the
society, in which the parson minis-
tered, wrote; and while one set
forth the kind Of church he wanted,
tbs other described the lind of
minister it wanted. They both
aimed high. The shrewd Doctor
replies to both by telling a story:
4 minister, not much 7ersed in
worldly affairs, and least OF all, in
horse-nature, wanted to buy a
horse. He found group of plain
men, to whom he stated his case.
He said: 81 want horse of good
deal of spirit, for my son is fond Of
such a horse. And he must be
very quiet horse, so that my wife
can drive him. And he must be
quite strong, and have good deal
of endurance, for l shall want to
plow with him. He must not be q
large eater, nor choice in his cat
ing. l want young horse, SO
that he shall be growing better all
the time. And he must be we'll
broken, for l haven't the time to-
break him. And he must rot cost
above fifty dollars, or at the out
side seventy-five dollars"
When he had finished, one of the
plain men said: "Why, you fool,
there amt no such hoss.''
The advice given in conclusion
is excellent 81 recommend You to
worry along with each other, and
neither of you to expect perfection
in the other, till yon car show an
example OF it in yonrsclves.-Liv-

Remedy for Mosquitoes.

How little some people know of
mosquitoes, their origin, birth and
habits but how much they know
of them as torments, being among

How to Become Rich.

You can probably be rich, my
son, if you will be. If you make
mp your mind now that You will be
a rich man, and stick TO it, there is
very little doubt that you will be
very wealthy, toIer ably mean, loved
a little, hated a great deal, lave a
big funeral, be blessed by the rela-
ttives to whom you leave the most,
reviled by those to whom you leave
nothing. But you nust pay for it
my son. Wealth is an expensive
thing. It costs all it ia worth. II
you want to be wortl, a million
dollars, it will cost you Just a mil
lion dollars to get it. Broken
friendships, intellectual starvation,
loss of social enjoyment, depriva-
ton of generous impulses, the
smothering of manly aspirations, a
limited wardrobe and scanty ta-
bic. a lonely home, because you
tear a lovely wife and beautiful
home would be expensive, hatred
of the heathen, n dread of the con-
tribution box, haunting fear OF
the Woman's Aid society, a fearful
dislike OF poor people because they
won't keep their misery out cf your
sight, little sham of benevolence
that is worse than none {; O, yon
can be rich, young man, if you are
willing to pay the price. Any man
can get rich who doesn't think it
too expensive. True, you may be
rich and he man among men,
noble and Christian and grand and
true, serving God and blessing hu-
manity, but that will be in spite of
yonr wealth, and not as result of
it. 1t will be because you always
were that kind of a man. But if
yon want to be rich merely to be
rich, if that is the breadth and
height of your ambition, you can
be rich if you will pay the price.
And when you are rich, son, call
around at this office and pay tor
this advice. We will let the in

ready obedience 10 the civil au-
thority, and discharged him from
the process because of his own in
ability to enforce the order of the
court. General Hancock's ap-
pearance before the Judge showed
his respect for the civil process of
the court, and it became his dnty
to present to the Judge the order Of
the President suspending the writ,
aud to know whether he xould
submit to or reject the suspension.
Judge Wylie acquiesced in the
suspension of the writ, stating that
''the posse comstdtue of his court
was not able TO overcome the
armies of the United States under
the command of the President"
There was not the slightest show
of any disposition on the part of
General Hancock to resist the civil
process of the court; and had the
Judge deemed it best to make an
issue with the President, and re-
fused to recognize the validity of
the suspension OF the writ, and had
ordered General Hancock to have.
produced before him the body of
Mrs. Snrratt Notwithstanding the
order of the President, doubtless
General Hancock would have at
tempted to comply with that order
of the court, he, together with the
Judge, would have been arrested
and thrown into prision. The
order of the court, however, did
not extend any further, compli-
menting the General for his respect
for the the civil authority, dismiss
ed him from the process. The
charge, therefore, that he refused
to obey the writ is without the
slightest foundation in fact.
