John Koch, an old man Of about -
years, was found, nearly two years ago,
wandering through the woods, on Bayon
Crosse Tete, and as he did not seem to
know where he was going and could au-
swer none of the questions propounded
to him, it was supposed that he was
some poor unfortunate who had lost his
reason, and he was brought to the Court
house, where he was examined. He
could not be made to understand any
question asked him, either in English,
French, German or Spanish, consequent
ly his identity or nationality remain u
mystery, although it is supposed by
some that he was Russian. Hetalked
freely, but no one could understand q
word from him. At the time Of being
brought to the Courthouse, be was ray.
ged and dirty and covered with sores.
He was placed in charge Of the jailor,
who gave him comfortable lodgings and
provided him with decent clothing and
goo3 food, and soon got to be in good
health and vigorous in body, but never
ineligible. He made himself useful
about the place by working in the garden
cutting wood and carrying water. Twice
be wandered off, bat returned again after
several days absence. Recently, how
ever, he wandered off for the third time,
and on Wednesday evening last died on
the road side about three miles from
the Courthouse, probably from sun
stroke. His name is supposed to be
John Koch, because, when given pen
and paper aud requested by signs to
write his name, he would write some.
thing having that resemblance.

nv time showed fifty-three minutes past
eleven o'clock.
'IfI live, said to myself, i will
make it, And We plunged down that
twenty-foot grade with all steam on.
Persons who saw the train on that wild
run said that it was SO soon after they
heard the first sound of her approach,
when the strange object, which looked
as If it was flame Of fire, darted by,
and then the sound of its travelling died
away in the distance, that they could
hardly convince themselves that they
had really seen anything. 1t seemed
more like the creature of wild dream
than sober reality.
And now let me tell you that no other
engine ever beat the time we made on
those fourteen miles. Those great
wheels, seven feet in diameter, spun
around so swift that you couldn't begin
to count the revolutions. The engine
barely seemed to touch the track as
she few along; and although the track
was as true as it was possible for it to
be-, she swayed fearfnlly, and sometimes
made such prodigious jolts that it re-
qNired considerable skill for one to keep
his feet. No engine could hold together
if crowded to greater speed.
We'll, just as came to a standstill
in the depot at c. the big clock

was getting her steam on. Roberts got

through the streets Of certain town,
when she came to spot where several
idle boys were amusing themselves by
the very dangerous practice Of throwing
stones. Not observing her, one Of the
boys By accident threw stone towards
her, and struck her cruel blow in the
eye.
She was carried home in great agony.
The doctor was sent for, aud a very pain
ful operation was declared necessary.
When the time came and the surgeon
had taken out his instruments she lay
in her fathers arms, and he asked if she
was ready for the doctor to do what he
could to cure her eye.
"No, father, not yet" the child replied
"What do you wait for, my child ="
Il want to kneel in your lap and pray
to Jesus first" she answered.
And then kneeling, she prayed for a
few minutes, and afterwards submitted
to the operation with all the patience of
strong woman.
! How beautiful this little girl appears
under these trying circumstances !!
Surely Jesus heard the prayer made in
that hour; and He hears every chil(
that calls upon His name. Even pain
can be endured when we seek Jesus IL

ABOUT KISSING.

Little child, when twilight shadows
Close the western gates Of gold,
Then those lovlng arms of mothers
Tenderly about thee fold.
Over lip, and cheek, and forehead,
Like a shower caresses fall,
For mothers kiss at twilight
Is the sweetest kiss of all.
Pretty maiden at the gateway.
Shy sweet face and dowucast eye,
Two white trembling hands imprisoned
How the golden moment flies
Lips that solely press ,hy forehead,
All the rosy bushes call
For lovers kiss at twilight
Is the tendest kiss OF all.
Happy wife, thy noble husband,
More than half lover yet
For those sunny hours OF wooing
Are too sweet soon to forget
On thy smiling lips upl!iteI,
Full of love his kisses fall.
For husbands kiss at parting
Is the dearest kiss Of all.
Weary mother, little children
With thei1 dimpled hands so fair,
Passing over cheek and forehead,
Soo.he away all the pain and care;
Lead your doubling heart to Heaven
Where DO dreary shadows fail,
For the Kiss of snless childhood
Is the purcst kiss Of all.
