A PAINFUR ACCIDENT. Late on
"Wednesday afternoon Mr.. A. W.
Brown, while riding upon his bicycle,
was thrown off Of it and fractured his
right leg about six inches below the
knee. Both bones were broken, this
making it very painful fracture. The
accident occurred nearly in front of
Mrs. r. D. Oxner's, and Mr.. Brown
was carried thence to his room
in Browns Hotel. 1t seems that a
mound or rise in the sidewalk caused
the bicycle to topple over, thus throw
ing Mr.. Brown over the top OF the
machine, with his whole weight upon
his leg. W. hope tho accident is not
so serious as at first appears, and we
know that the sympathy of the whole
community is with Mr.. Brown In his
painfil afflictfon.

A SCENE AT THE FAIR.

In the big crowd of excursionists sitting on
the City Hall steps for rest, the other day
was young man of excellent length Of legs
and girl with sixteen auburn curls hanging
down around her head. They had scarcely
settled themselves and locked fingers when
she cautiously observed:
Il 'spose they have soda-water in this
town."
81 'spose," he replied, "but the last thing
before we started promised your mother moi
to let you drink any soda, water. It's the
worst thing in the world to bring on con
sumption"
She was quiet for moment, and then
pointing to the left, remarked:
81 see that Sarah is eating peanuts. 'spose
they have peanuts in this town p
"Wall, yes, but your mother cautioned me
the last thing not to buy any peanuts for you
The shucks are apt to get into your windpipe
The Queen of Holland was choked to death
in that way"
Pretty soon boy came along with some
fruit, and the young woman felt obliged 'tc
say,
"Yes, they do," replied the prudent lover
"but promised your mother, at the depot
not to buy any fruit for you. Them apples
look nice but if you get the toothache started
on you, then the whole afternoon is busted. y
The young man had just commenced to
take comfort again when she innocently re-
marked:
"When came up here last Summer with
Jim, he bought morn two pounds of candy. y
"Yes, and what was the result of it ?" he
demanded. "You fell down the cellar that
very week, and didn't Jim have to light out
last Winter for Dustin in the schoolhouse
door?"
She got down to water, and with considera.
Bile sarcasm in her voice she inquired:
81 can have a drink of water, can't I ?
Mother didn't say anything against that, did
she?'
"Wall, no, not exactly" he slowly replied,
"but she gin me an appealing look as the
cars moved off-same as to say that it ought
to be kind O warmish water, if any You
sot here and I'll borrow dipper somewhere" 3"
She "sot" and it was all of an hour and
half before he again succeeded in getting
his arm around her.

CARE OF THE NEWLY SAVED.

It was the remark of a lady who felt what
she said, that before she became a professor OF
religion she had many friends who manifested
an interest in her welfare but that so soon as
she united with the church, their good offices
were discontinued. She was told of her dam
ger and duty, and followed by all kinds OF
benevolent counsel. She was also made the
subject of special prayer. 1t was Il real disap-
pointment to her in after days that she had
church, devoted to it's duties and a Christian
walk, she was troubled by her inexperience
and perpleXed by constant difficulties that rose
in her way. But no one came to her relief.
She was more alone than she had ever been in
her life The social sympathy of which she
had heard seemed to be utterly wanting, and
without communion, except in way that was
official and formal she found the first cross
she was called to bear to be one of spiritual
solicitude in the midst of her former friends.
Her experience was more common perhaps
than we think There is a zeal Oh the part OF
many Christians in behalf of those who are
unconverted or out of the Church that is ear
nest and hearty, but which ceases when once
the point has been gained of profession OF
religion. 1t. forgets the subsequent nurture
which is Just as much needed as the early care:
It's aim is to get those to whom it is directed
to declare themselves Christians, and when
that is done it feels it's work ended. 1t is the
spirit of one who will seek to get the homeless
and outcast into the house, under the shelter
of it's roof and protected by it's enclosure,
without thinking of the food and training and
companionship, wanting which it must be a
prison instead of place of joy and rest.
1t would be too much to say that it is after
the profession is made that the chief care is
needed. To save soul from death is the first,
as it is the greatest, work of all. But closely
following it, and nearly related to it, indeed a
part of itself, is the duty of properly assisting
those who have committed themselves to the
Lord. They need sympathy, warning, exhor-
taton, encouragement, restraint-the care OF
children who are but starting on their way
and he is right servant of tile Master who
properly fosters their faith and warns into ex-
panding growth the germs of grace implanted
in the soul.
Many youthful Christian leads a life of
loneliness and bitterness because of his want
of sympathy Many another one, whether
feeling the loneliness or not, is yet alone, and
failing of needed encouragement, passes a
starveling life, knowing nothing of the holy
joy that comes with deep experience of the
gospel while others still, unhelped and unre-
strained, fall into sin which brings on them the
censure of a church that neglected its own
duty to them.- United Presbyterian.

REV. ROBERT LATHAM.
SPIRITUAL GROWTH.

This is not an indefinite, dreamy movement
toward imaginary goodness. The soul is un-
der laws according to which it's development
is hastened or hindered. This development is
the growth, not of some good thing in the soul,
but of the soul itself, which, having been re-
generated day after day, is sanctifed by the
power of the Spirit, quickened and invigora-
ted. 1t is not in any sense our work, yet we
may promote it in ourselves. We are not to
wait for the Spirit to come from some far-off
place and breathe upon our feeble faith that it
may be quickened. The Spirit works by means,
and this presence and influence are assured to
all who faithfully follow the divine plan. He
maketh the reading, but especially the preach
ing, of the word an effectual means, not only
of convincing sinners, but OF strengthening
saints against temptations, and of building
them up in grace. This is according to our
Saviour's prayer: 'Sanctify them through thy
truth, thy word is truth" If we would grow
in grace, we must use the Bible. 'Where'
withal," says the Psalmist, ''shall young
man cleanse his way? BY taking heed thereto
according to thy word.'' "Search the Scrip
lures for in them We think We have eternal
life : and they are they which testify of me. y
The testimony in regard to Jesus is the Spirits
means of sanctifying his people. He does not
speak of himself, but talks of the things OF
Jesus and shows them to us.
If we would, therefore, grow in grace, we
must study the character and words of Christ.
He is the model according to which we are to
grow. He was full of grace and truth, and
this grace is the fulness of the stature toward
which we strive. The Bible should be Oul
daily bread. The child, to grow in size, must
have good food and enough of it so the Chris
tian must feed upon the word. He must also
feed with all appetite coming of active exer
else, with delight which loves the law after
the inward man. He must also digest the
truth, reading and meditating upon it, 60
how love thy law tits my meditation day
and night" II commend you, brethren, tC
God and to the word of his grace, which is
able to build you up"
The simple reading and preaching of the
word with meditation will not surely promote
our highest growth. Weare to be dOers OF the
word and not hearers or readers only. Not &
forgetful hearer of, but dOer of the word
this man shall be blessed in his deed. The
Spirit uses our obedience for our own Sanctlh
cation. He uses, in like manner, our liberali
ty, our deeds of kindness, our forgiveness Of
injuries, and our self-sacrifice for the Masters
cause. Each advance in the divine life he
makes the step toward farther advance.
In the effort to initiate our great Example ii
holiness, we have the highest encouragement
Though now beset with temptations and easi
ly besetting sins, we are assured of support
and strength We have also the certainty Of
one day being made perfect in holiness. We
shall not only see our Saviour face to face ant
know him as also we are known, but swe shal
be like him.

BOARD BY THE WHOLESALE.

Yesterday afternoon, shortly after the arri-
val of the train, q man entered hotel in this
city and asked the clerk. who stood busying
himself with patent blotter, the terms upon
which he could engage board.
"Owing to the location of your room, sir.
Big demand for our rooms. Feed we'll ?"
II don't care so much about the eatin'
part" replied the man. "I'm forty. odd years
old, anu have been eatin' about all my life.
It's gittin' to be an old thing to me. Well,
say, give me respectable room, how much'll
you charge ?"
"Just yourself, sir?"
"Well, in manner"
Twenty FIVE dollars per month, in case
you are alone"
"You see, it's this way My wife will be
with me but as times are pretty tight, | con-
cluded to arrange it this way: Ill take break
fast, my wife will take dinner, and we'll throw
up-wet or dry-for supper. By that means
we can both get board for one price. I reck-
on I'm little the best manager you ever
seed"
FIFTY dollars for two. --...-..
Don't understand that sort of 'rithmetic.
Both together we'd only eat the meals allow
ed for one person. 1t don't hurt bed any
more for two people to sleep on it than for
one. I've got bed out in the country that
was presented to my wife when we got married,
and I'll be diuged if it amt just about as
good as new. It's one of those old.fashioned
beds, with high yaller posts with knobs on the
tops as big as young pumpkins. I'll furnish
the room with this and one chair. My wife
can set on the floor 1 have lived in the coun.
try all my life, and havin' made little mon:
ey last year, I concluded to come to town and
splurge little. Thar's a woman down in
the country that has all the time been buck
in agin my wife, and to get away with her
we have concluded to board at a hotel."S
Fifty dollars per month is our lowest
rate" ....
"How much by the year? I'm going into
this business right"
six hundred dollars" ......
"Thats gettin' down to it. How much fol
twenty years."
Twelve thousand dollars" :
Gall right. Mark me down for snack
right now, and check it off for twenty years. u
"See that card ?" said the clerk, pointing to
the hotel maxim of persons without baggage
are required to pay in advance.
ooh, I've got the baggage" and the man
lifted up carpet.b bag"
"rhat won't CO."
"Won't you take this as security ?"
"No, get out of here"
"But l want to board here twenty years.
"Go on your way"
"Ill leave your snipe hotel, sir, but. first
let me show you" He lifted up the carpet
bag, opened it and displayed $4,000 in Gov
ernment bonds"
"You can stay, sir"
"No, believe not 1t takes tco much mon
ey to put up at this hotel. Guess I'll g
around and put up at wagon.yard."

"HoLLERING" IS A BIG HELP.-They were
holding an outdoor ward meeting the other
night, and a speaker had just commenced to
warm up to his work, when stranger with
all his worldly "duds" in an old sheep-skin on
his back, boots gone, hat going and dyed.
in the.wool tramp air about him, halted
on the outskirts of the crowd. The speech
soon caught MIN, and he began to applaud.
At the end of every sentence he clapped his
hands and roared like foghorn. No mat.
ter whether the speaker "hit'em" or not, the
stranger never failed to come down with the
applause, and he carried good share of the
crowd with him. After the speaker had fin.
isbed, and while he was wiping his heated
brow. the tramp applauded him and said:
"That'ere speech was one of the best ever
heard in all my life"
"I'm glad it pleased you.'
"Pleased me! Why, it lifted me right off, n
my feet! tell you, you're born orator, and
I just wish l could stay in this town and hear
you make speech every night"
"Yes, I wish you could"
"But can't. I am on my way West. I
shall, however, think of your speech hun
dred times day. / can feel the electricity
of it yet, and-say, can't you lend me half a
dollar to help me on ?"
"Why, don't know you. Why should I
lend you half dollar?"
"Oh! come now don't try to ride any high
horse over me. You know how loud hol-
Tered, and you know as we'll as do, that if
l hadn't put in my best licks you'd have
fallen as fiat as shingle! You are great
orator, sir, and that was great speech, but
if you don't know that hollering is what does
the business, you'd better hang right up"
The orator pondered over the matter for q
few seconds, and then probably concluded that
the reasoning was sound, as he passed over the
money.
Ray A Connecticut lawyer, the other day,
took exception to judges ruling that soma
evidence was inadmissible He said: II know
that it is proper evidence. Here have been
practicing at the bar forty years, and now l
want to know if am fool?" "That," re-
piled the Court, "is question of fact and not
of law, and so / won't pass upon it, but will
let the jury decide"
