Some time ago the leaders and stew
ards OF Hamline Methodist Episcopal
Church (the Rev. w. 1. McKenny, pas
tori recommended Mrs. Clara Roach
for license to preach, she having been
an exhorter for some time. AT recent
meeting of the Quarterly Conference Of
the Church this recommendation was
brought forward. and the Presiding FL
der, the Rev. b. Peyton Brown. declined
to entertain the recommendation on the
ground that there is no law of the
Church justifying the license of women
to preach. An appeal was made by
Mrs. Roach's friends, and the question
will now 60 to that Bishop who may be
assigned to hold the next session Of the
Baltimore Conference. Mrs. Roach
formerly Miss Cutlery has been prom
inent in church work and has held an
exhorter's license for about two years,
and has been successful, especially at q
meeting she held some time since in
Delaware. The final decision of this
question is looked for with interest,"

A sTAGE.DRIvER's STORY.

FOURTEEN years ago l drove from
Danbury to Littleton, a distance OF
forty-two miles, and as l had to await
the arrival of two or three coachers,
and did not start until after dinner,
very often had a good distance to drive
after dark. 1t was in the dead OF win
ter. and the season had been rough
one. A great deal of snow had fallen,
and the drifts were plenty and deep.
The mail that l carried was not due at
Littleton, by contract. until one o'clock
in the morning. but that wiDterthe Post
master was obliged to sit up little Ia
ter than that hour for me.
One day in January, when l drove up
with my mail at Danbury, the POstmas-
ter called me into. his office.
Pete said he, with an important,
serious look, there somepretty heavy
money packages in that bag" and he
pointed to it as he spoke. He said the
money was from Boston to some land
agents near the Canada line. Then he
asked me if l had any passengers who
were going through to Littleton? L told
him did not know. 'But suppose L
have not" says l.
..Why.r said he, .'the agent of the
lower route came in to-day, and he
said that there were two suspicious
characters on the stage that came in
last night, and he suspects that they
have an eve on this mail, SO it will stand
YOU in hand to be little careful this
evening"
He said the agent had described one
of them as a short, thick set fellow,
about forty years of age, with long
hair, and a thick, heavy clump OF
beard under his chin, but none on the
side of his face. | did not know any
thing about the other. l told him
guessed there wasn't much danger.
"Oh, no, not if you have got pas
sengers all the way through, but only
told YOU this so that you might look
out for your mail, and also look out
sharp when you change horses"
answered that should do so, and
then took the bag under my arm and
left the office. slowed the mail away
under my seat little more carefully
than usual, placing it so l could keel
my feet against it, but beyond that
did not feel any concern. 1t was pas
one when we started. and 1 had foul
passengers, two of whom rode only t
my first stopping place. l reached
Gowan's Mills at dark, when WI
stopped for supper, and where m.
other two passengers concluded to stoI
for the night.
About six o'clock in the evening
left Gowan's Mills alone. having tw'
horses and a pung.
l had seventeen miles to go, and
hard seventeen it was, too. The nigh
was quite clear but the wind was sharl
and cold, the loose snow flying in ever.
direction, while the drifts were deep ant
closely packed. 1t was slow. tediou
work, and my horses soon became leg
weary and FESTIVE. At the distance o
six miles l came to little settlement
called Bulls Corner, where l too
fresh horses. I'd been two hour
going that distance. As l was goln
to start a man came up and asked If
was going through to Littleton. toll
him I should go through if the thin
could possibly be done. He said he wa
anxious to 90, and as he had no bag
gage, told him to jump in. and max
himself as comfortable as possible.

do while he was behind me. for his
eyes were upon me all the time, so
must resort to stratagem. Only little
distance ahead was q house, and en- old
farmer named Longee lived there; and
directly before it huge snow bank
stretched across the road, throuS p
which q track had been cleared with
shOvels.
As we approached the cot saw

ahead, and could distinguish the deep
cut which had been shOveled through
it. urged my horses to good speed.
and when near the bank forced them
into it. One of the runners mounted
the edge of the bank, after which the
other ran into the cut, thus throwing
the sleigh over about as quick as though
lightning had struck it. My passenger
had not calculated on any such move
ment, and wasn't prepared for it; but
l had calculated and was prepared
He rolled out in the deep snow with
heavy buffalo robe about him. while l

call second time, for the farmer had
come to the window to see me pass, and
as soon as he saw my sleigh overturned
he had lighted his lantern and hurried
out.

as he came up.

then come here" said.
As spoke l partially lOosened my
hold upon the villains throat, and he
drew a pistol from his bosom; but saw
it in good season and jammed his head
into the snow again, and l got it away
, from him.
. BY this time Longee had led the
horses out and came back, and l ex-
planned the matter to him in as few
; words as possible.
, We hauled the rascal out into the
, road, and, upon examination, we found

She Cared for the Little Ones.

A few weeks ago a sparrow built her
nest in one of the trees in the yard
around Mayor Forwood's residence, and
in short time three or four pretty lit
tie sparrews were Matched out. There
was nothing particularly strange in this,
but what is to follow seems to us little
above anything in reference to the spar
row that we have heard. Thursday
evening, while the storm was raging
and the wind whistling through every
branch of the trees, making it decidedly
uncomfortable to be out, the mother
sparrow, true to the instinct which
prompts everything to care for its
young, carried the little sparrows from
the nest to the corner of window-sill,
away from the severe weather and
then carried the nest down, put the lit
tie ones in it and rested safely from the
storm all night. She and her young
were well cared for. If this had not
been done, the young sparrows would
no doubt have been drowned.-Chester
