THE TORTURED DRUMMER

She was sweet, shy, innocent
little village maiden, and she SEEM
ed somewhat furried rs she stepped
into the grocery store, where our
city drummer was lounging.
The clerk knew her, and while
he did up her parcel of tea, he ask
ed her if she wasn't afraid to walk
home alone so late at night. She
:,sked the clerk nervously if it was
so very late. When lie told her it
was but nine o'clock. she took up
the parcel and hurried away.
The city drummer, looking up,
thought to himself, 1T is really too
bad for such q pretty little girl to
walk home alone" So throwing
away his cigar, he skipped out and
overlook her just as she was turn
ing a dark corner.
Wouldn't you like some COM
pany?" he asked, graciously offer
ing his arm.
But / don't know you," she said
hesitatingly.
Don't you? Why, I'm an old
friend of your father"
"Indeed?" she replied, but she
did not take his arm.
They chatted pleasantly along, he
asking many questions about her
home, etc. He learned that her
father was an invalid confined to
his room, and that her brother was
absent from town.
They soon came to neat and
somewhat pretentious cottage, and
pausing at the gate, she timidly
asked him to come in.
Charmed with her shyness. and
believing the coast entirely clear,
the unsuspicions drummer accepted
the invitation. She showed him
into tasty little parlor; then she
asked to be excused for few min
ntes. As she passed out of the
door a smile lowered about her
lips, but the drummer did not see it.
Passing down little hall, she
tapped lightly at another door,
winch was opened by gentleman
of u decidedly ministerial aspect.
"Mr. c., she said, there's gen.
tIenlan iii the parlor who seems t.
he very anxious inquirer; won't
you 20 aud talk to him."

her pastor, who was as prompt to
improve an opportunity to attend
to his business of saving souls as
men of different cailings are to drive
sharp bargains. He FASTENED to

BEsCARETUL WHAT YOU SAY

In speaking of n person sanlts,
Pray don't forget your own:
Remember. those with homes of glass,
Should seldom throw a stone
live have nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin.
Ills better We should look ut home,
And from that place begin.
We have no right to judge man
Until he's fairly tried:
Should We not like his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some may havesfaults and who has not:
The old rs well as young:
Perhaps We may, for aught we know,
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you of better plan.
And one that works full well:
try my own defects to cure
Ere / of others tell
And though hope some time to be
No worse than some know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of others 60.
Then let us all, when we commence
To SANDER friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do
To those who little know
Remember, curses sometimes, like
Our chickens, s.roost ut home"
Don't speak of others faults until
We have none of our own.

the rarlor. glasses and all. and
grasping the drummer warmly by
the hand. exclaimed heartily:
Glad to see YOU, my friend, very
glad to see you"
The drummer stared ut the old
gentleman in establishment, and
wondered vainly who he was, and
why he was SO glad to see him.
The minister drew a chair close
beside him. and laying one hand on
his knee. began:
"Our young friend tells me that
you are an anxious inquirer I am
always glad to talk with one who is
interested in matters relating to the
welfare Of the soul"
The minister paused for a mo-
ment, and the drummer began to
turn hot and cold.
Have you ever made any con-
fession of religion? Do you belong
to any church, the'minister asked
encouragingly.
"N-no," stammered the drummer
out loud. 'Confound that girl he
muttered under his breath.
The minister began to see that he
was not getting on, and. noticing
the drummer's disturbed manner.
remarked:
Something troubles You, my
friend. Can You not confide in me?
Perhaps | can relieve your doubts
and fears"
IL think I'df better go!" the
drummer said, rising and vainly
trying to remember which door he
came in at.
Let us have q season of prayer
together" said the minister, and
suiting the action to the word. he
kneeled down by his chair.
Not having decided which door
he came in at, and not daring to
risk meeting "that COMPOUNDED
girl" by opening another, the DRUM
mer had nothing left to do but sub
NIT to the novel experience of hear
ing himself prayed for.
As soon as the prayer was ended,
he again essayed to 20, but Mr.. C.
bethought himself of the ''girl," and
stepping to the dining-room door,
called:
Wife, has Nettie gomez"
ooh, yes; she did not stay. Will
lie went with her. and he's been
gone long enough to get back"
At last the minister showed the
discomforted drummer the door,
shook him warmly by the hand, and
hoped to meet him in Heaven. He
then let him out in the fresh air
once more.
As he passed out of the gate he
heard a subdued giggle, saw two fig
ures dimly outlined. against the. sky,
and heard boys voice remark:
i wonder if pa converted him?''
"The anxious inquirer" isn't anxi-
GUS to inquire after innocent young
maidens of that town any more.

THE PACIFIC SLOPE.

1t seems to be generally conceded that the
chances are largely in favor OF Hancock car
rylng all the Pacific states-California, Neva-
da and Oregon. Emery A. Storrs, who has
Just been on a semlstumpng tour IN behalf of
Garfield in California, is able on his return
home to make no better report than that THE
Republicans OF California are hopeful that
their state will go republican and talk with
great confidence OF carrying Oregon" This
looks very much like giving itup and certain
ly chimes IN far from harshly with the conf
dent tone of the democrats in claiming both
