Then forgetting his work, his cap went on,
And he was off to the garden swing,
And left her the water and wood to bring.

Then she leased and pouted full half day,
Till her mother rejoiced when she went out to
play.
81 love you, mother,n said little Fan,
"To-day I'II help you all can;
How glad am school doesn't keepv'
SO she rocked the baby till it fell asleep.
Then stepping softly, she brought the broom
And swept the floor and tidled the room;
Busy and happy all day was she,
Helpful and happy as child could be,
II love you, mother" again they said

How do you think that mother guessed

The Man Who Sold His Prize
Pork.

At the the theater in San Fran
cisco the other evening, in the midst
of the play, gentleman was much
annoyed by couple of farmers in
the row before him who were ear
nestly discussing the merits OF a
prize porker--a fine SOW recently
purchased by one of them. 1t was
very annoying to, and, reaching over,
he touched one of them on the arm,
and whispered:
Excuse me, my friend, but how
much is that SOW worth ?"
The farmer stared for moment
and finally said
about twelve dollars, l s'pose.
Exactly" said the gentleman
taking out his pocket-book and ten
dering a greenback. "Here is
twenty. Now that SOW is mine, just
let her alone, if you please"
The neighboring audience snick-
cred and, although the crest-tallen
countryman made a CHASTITY attempt
to turn the tide Of sarcasm by pocket
ing the note and handing over eight
dollars change, the hit was crushing
Ill its effect; and in the dead silence
that followed, all eyes were turned
admiringly upon Ethe philanthropist
millionaire, who leaned back and en-
joyed his popularity.
But what the delegation from
down the bay said when they tried
to buy beer with the twenty after
the performance, and found it a bad
counterfeit, is not stated.

Times of Need.

Rec G. ". Humphreys in Rural Ne0 YORKER.
When the mind is filed with
questionlngs as to the great and
blessed truths which we had held
firmly and from which we had de-
rived peace and strength, this is time
Of most urgent need. Then we
should, with deepest humility and
intensest earnestness, go TO the
throne of grace: Oh, if believers did
at such times, only comply with the
exhortation OF the apostle, and go
"boldly unto the throne of grace"
how much better it would be than
allowing the doubts to do their
deadly work in the soul
A season Of adversely is time of
need. Very many of Gods people
have, within the last few years, ex-
perienced difficulties and loss in tenn

taken; many OF them found that

Her hands were bound behind her
back, and masses of coal black hair
encircled a face showing deadly ter.

dropped nearly to the ground over
the savage's arm. Her dress, torn
from one white shoulder, showed
how hard had been the struggle
against her captors.

her.

had scarcely got out OF my boy
hood when left England to become
the partner OF an old school-mate,
Dick Merrivale, as sheep farmer in
South America. We invested our
joint and rather modest capital in a
league of land on the Parana, and
erected on it a small house, built of
sun-baked bricks, which consisted of
atolerable large room, with fiat roof
and parapet, accessible from the in
side by means of a ladder. Around
it, at short distance, we had dug a
deep, dry ditch, crossed by draw
bridge, intended as a protection
against surprise by the Indians.
One Christmas Dick remarked TO
me that he had been told that morn
that the savages had crossed the
river, and we must keep our wits
about us. 1t was scarcely an hour
after that two Guaches put in an
appearance. Their usually swarthy
faces were lvid with fear. They
sprang from their horses, which, COW
cred with blood, sweat and foam,
showed how sharp had been the ride,
and rushed over the draw bridge
They told us, as soon as terror would
allow them, that three hundred In
dians were in hot pursuit, and would
soon be on the spot, and besought us,
Tor the love of the virgin, to give
them shelter.
Dick, rather to my surprise, calmly
lit bis pipe, and then ordered our
visitors to make themselves scarce"

When old Mrs. Bunsby had igot

"Hellow when did you return ?"
asked Snopson of his friend Binns,
whom he met on the street. "Why,
l havn't been away" replied the lat
ter. "You havn't?" incredulously
asked Snopson. "Why, you look so
worn out and near dead that l posi-,
lively thought you had been away to

obligations and our manhood What
kind of a spirit do we find in us
when the conditions of life grind us ?
These things will test our religion
better than the number OF times we
go to meeting, or the amount we
give to charity, or the number or
length of our prayers.
