Gems Of Thought.

IT is better to have a good con-
science and be censured than a bad one
and be flattered.
That was a good prayer of the old
deacon: " Lord, make us willing to
run on little errands for Thee"
Good men have the fewest fears.
He has but one who fears to do wrong.
He has a thousand who has overcome
that one.
In seeking aid for a Christian pur-
pose, seek the man more than the
money. If you get the man you get
the money, too.
The grand old Book of God still
stands; and this old earth, the more
its leaves are turned oyer and pom
dered, the more it will sustain and
illustrate the Sacred Word.-Prof
Dana.
God makes the earth bloom with
roses that we may not be discontinued
with our soiourn here; He makes il
bear thOrns that we may learn to look
for something better beyond.
Good intentions are at least the seed
of good actions; and every man ought
to sow them, and leave it to the soil
and season whether they come up OF
no, or whether he or any others gather
the fruit.
1t requires more faith and courage to
say two words face to face with one
single sinner than from the pulpit to re.
buke two or three thousand persons,
ready to listen to everything, on condi-
ton of forgetting all.-BOSSuet.
We ought always to dea! Justly, not
only with those who are just to us, but
likewise with those who endeavor tc
injure us; and this, too, for fear lest,
by rendering them evil for evil, we
should fall into the same vice.--Hiero.

PrOtracted sIumber.

A REMARKABLE case Of protracted
slumber has developed in the person of
Nathan G. Vrooman, who resides a short
distance from Schenectady, on the New
York Central and Hudson River Rail-
road. Mr.. Vrooman has been known
as q sober, industrious man. He is
about thirty-fve years old, and the sup
port of a widowed sister. He is un-
married, and was for long time in the
employ of the Central Hudson as
track-hand. Six years ago he received
a sunstroke, and since has complained
considerably of dizziness. On the 10th
of February he was compelled to leave
his work and take to his bed on account
of pains in his head. He at once fell
asleep, and could be aroused only with
difficulty. He slept peacefully, and his
breath was not labOred, as is the case
in certain diseases Of the brain. For
three weeks and two days he slumbered
almost necessarily. When he awakened
he was morose and disinclined to talk.
He refused to give any information con.
cerning his feelings, and desired above
all things to be allowed to sleep. His
appetite was good, and he ate on alter
nate days enough to sustain life in his
inactive state. As soon as he concluded
eating he would relapse into sleep. At
no time did he show symptoms of fever,
Inflammation, delirium, or any material
increase Of the temperature of the body;
nor did his condition indicate paralysis.
After sleeping for twenty-three days
almost continually, one morning he sud-
denly woke and became communicative.
His appetite was voracious; and it was
thought that, after regaining his
strength, as he was quite weak, he
would be able to return to his work
Ten days later he was again attacked
with sleepiness, and now lies in his bed
fast asleep. He exhibits no fever, but
refuses to take food. When he is
awakened, he plaintively pleads to be
left alone. The only answers to ques-
tions that he vouchsafes are simply
" Yes " and No." For two weeks he
has not tasted food, and yet there is no
material change in his condition. The
physicians in this section regard the
case as a wonderful one, and can give
no explanation of it.-Cor. N. Y. Times.

Pastor and People.

THE Methodist has an excellent arti.
Gle on contracts between churches and
pastors. It asks Whether the Meth.
odist grocer has eguitably any better
right to collect by law the bill due him
by Methodist pastor than the minister
has to collect, by the same means, the
contracted sum for his services" This
question applies to grocers and pastors
in all the churches. The church at the
beginning of the year, or at the call OF
the pastor, agrees to give him a certain
salary. The year passes and he only
receives part of his due. Should he sue
or urgently demand what is Justly his
right he is censured, and yet he is ex.
pected to settle up his accounts aud pay
every cent he owes before he leaves
town. The church should deal with the
pastor as its members expect him To
deal with them, honestly and squarely.
And the minister's salary should not go
unpaid until the close of the year, thus
making him credit pauper for every.
thing his family needs. He cannot
preach as he should when he owes o
dozen or more people before him, and
is reminded when he looks into their
faces that they have dunned him o
number of times for little bills, Every
man is slave when in debt, and es.
pecially is minister bound hand and
foot when in debt to the people before
him. With all his bills paid, decent
suit upon his back and some money in
his pocket, he is a great deal more of o
manly minister than he would other.

ophy in the reasoning of that minister
who, when his pocket-book was empty,

paid it back on Monday, as he said he

The pew should have some respect
and regard for the rights of the pulpit.
The people should treat the pastor as
they expect him to deal with them.

A Greek Horror in Russia.

A TERRIBLE story reaches the Peters,
burg HerOId, from Samara. A few days
ago the wife of skilled artisan named
Schmid, of that town, gave birth to a
child while her husband, who had be-
come a confirmed sot, and spent all his
wages for many previous weeks in
liquor, was away from his home upon q
drunken frolic. Two days after her
confinement Schmid staggered in about
noon and began to shout, with horrible
threats and curses, for his dinner.
There having been neither food nor
money in the house since he had last
left it, the unfortunate woman had had
no nourishment for herself OF her babe
since its birth, and the latter had died
of exhaustion but few minutes before
its heartless father made his appear
ance, intoxicated and disappearing, in
the room where a son had been born to
him while he was squandering his wages
in drink. To Schmid's brutal menaces
his miserable wife made no answer.
Silently she rose from her sordid pallet,
wan and emaciated, mere specter of a
woman, crept across the room to the
dresser, took thence large dish, which
she carried back to the bed, and placing
her baby's corpse upon the dish, set Il
down on the table before her husband,
with the simple but awful words,
"There is nothing else to eat in the
house" Schmid sat gazing with a
CLASSY stare at his dead child for some
time. Presently a neighbor came in
and spoke to him, but he uttered no
word and made no sign. Upon closer
examination he was found to have en-
tirely lost his reason, and he was con-
veyed to the Samara Madhouse, where
he still remains hopeless lunatic,s

"What Are Ye Giee I'd Of, Sal %

ONE Fourth of July there was an
amateur snap" at one of the Detroit
theaters. 1t was intended to catch the
stray sojourners within our gates, and it
caught them. One fresh and blooming
young man with his thick hair profuse-
ly oiled-plastered, in faot-smoothly
over his head came in, with his girl
meekly following him. She followed
until she came to the steps that lead
down to the parquette, and then, COM
ing into the glare OF the lighted hall,
hesitated and looked bewildered, while
he strobe manfully down to the very
front row, evidently thinking she was
still at his heels. She stood back in the
dim distance, not knowing what to do.
He turned around and Z" his amazement,
his surprise, could be seen by the ex-
preston of his eyes" He beckoned
for her to come, but she shook her head.
He stood kind of crestfallen for a min
ute, and then walked back to where
the girl was, while some of the audience
Uttered.
"Why, what are ye afeerd Of, SalP"
he asked in an expostulating tone.
Z" We don't need to mind this crowd (;
we don't know none of them and they
don't know none of u.s."
This sort of philosophy seemed to
convince Sarah, and she went down
with him 10 the seats he first selected,
while he cast look of triumph at those
who had previously snickered at him.

No word Of angry strife,
