Did not Know it was in the
Rih1e

A well-to-do deacon in Connecticut was
one day accosted by his pastor, who said.
" Poor widow Green's wood is all out.
Can you not take her cord?" "Wen."
answered the deacon, II have wood and
| have the team; but who is to pay me
for 1T ? The pastor, somewhat vexed,
replied, :" I will pay you for it, on con-
dition that you read the first three verses
Of Ps. XII before you go to bed tonight"
The deacon consented, delivered the
wood, and at night opened the word of
God and read the passage: Blessed is he
that considereth the poor ; the Lord will
deliver him in time of trouble. The
Lord will preserve him and keep him
alive, and he shall be blessed upon the
earth, and thou will not deliver him unto
the will of his enemies. The Lord will
strengthen him on the bed of lauguish-
ing; thou wilt make all his bed in his
sickness" A few days afterward the
pastor met him again. :" How much do
| owe you, deacon, for that cord of wood? P"
ooh |" said the enlightened man "do not
speak of payment; l did not know those
promises were in the Bible. 1 would not
take money for supplying the old widows

An Antediluvian Monster

IN Siberia the bones of az antediluvian

W. sort OF winter they had to endure.
Inns rhlnoceros was taller than the
modern beast by some six to seven feet.

In the banks of one of the affluents of
the lana River. When the bank first
broke away the whole skeleton stood

and SO the river was allowed to wash

superiority in size, this ancient mon
sster had the advantage of being clothed

might be reproduced to figure APPLY the
present uncertain tenure of the pastorate;
and the analogy might not be over
pressed If In some cases we called atten-
ton to the clownish attitude of the
preacher on the rope.
The church includes all too many of
those who are determined to wear the
worlds crowns, and they will not endure
faithful stroke from the hand of the
preacher. So it comes to pass that they
begin Immediately to compel the faithful
witness to leap from his position, and the
preacher is too often willing to spring
from his high prerogative and confess
himself beaten.
The ministry is too often blameworthy
in too ready confession of its weakness.
The Lord of the vineyard said, eye did
not choose me, but chose you and ap-
pointed you, Ordained, =. e., set you in
your place as a tree or vine in the vine
yard,) that ye should go and bear fruit,
and that your fruit should ABIDE" That
Is the Masters teaching-each one of you
planted in your place as tree. What,
then, is the duty of the fruit bearer Is
1T to run away as soon as few clubs or
stones are thrown? Rather should he
not maintain his ground until the Master
spades him out from his position? These
short pastorates are a huge evil in the
church, and any church which is forever
settling and unsettling its pastor is a.
church which can have but little spiritual
advancement.
Is the ministry blameless? Should
they not preach with more faithfulness
and fearlessness? Should they not
preach as Christ did in due proportion
to mems fears, and hold up the mirror
rejecting the terrors of coming retribu-
ton to those who are dragging the world
into the church, and dragging the church
down to the level of debating society
and the ministry to the level of ward
politicians? Should not the ministry be
more resolute to withstand the mischief
makers at the very threshold of their
connecting schemes? Do they not need
little more grit as well as grace?

Origin of the Gypsies.

The later researches of Potts, Miclo-
SIGH, and others, leave no doubt as to the
Indian origin of the gypsies, although
the exact tribe from which they sprung
has not been, as yet, definitely ascer-
tanned. Many of the individual words,
such as PAM (water) are identical in
Gypsy and Hindustani; but the gram
mar OF the first mentioned language, as
shown In the mutilated form which re-
mains in English Rommany and the
more perfect system of the Turkish
Ichingianes, is quite different from most
OF the modern vernacular of India, and
has but few points of contact with the
older dialects. There are in India seye
raj tribes whose characteristic habits are
very similar to those of the gypsies of
England. The Jats, Maths, and Brin-
Jarls, for example, singularly resemble
them; and a very good case has been
made out in favor of the first mentioned
as the original gypsy stem. 1t is his
torlcal fact that somewhere about the
year 42O A. D. number of strolling
minstrels did find their way into Persia:
they were called Lu15, and are described
by Firdousi in terms which might
equally well apply to a band of Eng
leh Rommanies. The word "Lau4' is
still used in Persia for strolling minstrels
and vagabonds; while, under the form
Na'r!!' 1t is the generic appellation of
gypsies in Syria and Egypt. Arab his
torlans speak of these people under the
alternative name of Zutt, which is, with
much reason, believed to be corruption

everywhere Rom or Romany," which
would point to the. Dom or rom"
tribe as their original stock, the initial
letter of the word being equivalent to
their D. or R. These people, who are
found in Behar, are essen

things which distinguish them from other

arises from touching dead body, and
their liking for swine flesh. Now gyp-

who will eat animals that have died

Strength for the Time of Need

"Who shall separate us"-even us
poor pigmies of Christians" from the
love of God which is in Christ Jesus our
Lord?"
"Oh," says one, at do not think I
could suffer martyrdom."
You are not yet called to do so, my
brother; and God has not given YOU the
strength to do it before the need arises =:
but you will have strength enough if
ever it comes to your lot to die for Jesus.
Did you never hear of the MARTYR who,
the night before he was to be burnt, sat
opposite the fire, and, taking his shoe
OFT, he held his foot close to the flame
TIL he began to feel the burning of it :?
He drew it back and said, "I see God
does not give me power to bear such suf-
terlng as put upon myself; but l make
none the less doubt" said he, "that I
shall very well stand the stake to-mor-
row morning, and burn quick to the
death of Christ without starting back.
And so he did; for he was noticed never
to stir at all while the flames were CON
Stunning him.
There is great deal of difference be-
tween your strength to-day and what
your strength would be if you were called
to some tremendous work or suffering.

only does it deliberately and systemati-
cally, but he makes it part of his creed
and settled purpose in life 10 trample
upon it whenever he imagines himself in
suited or aggrieved. There is no theory
of right with which his course can be re-
conciled. The whole practise is illegal,
immoral, and subversive of all good order

~. In relation to the Word of God,
duelling is sin of the darkest hue, COM
bining both the guilt of suicide and that
OF murder. On this point I need not
dwell. In conclusion you can see how
fatally delusive are all the pleas and pre-
texts of the duellist. He speaks of the
code of honor" as if there were some au-
thority by which the laws of dueling had
been created and codifed. Where is the
authority? Not from God, or from civil
governments, all of whose laws are in the
face of its cruel and unreasonable Gus
toms. He speaks of the field of honor. f"
1t is not field of honor. Honor is al
ways reverent of law, obedient to au-
thority, careful of others rights, humane,
guarding the rights of dependent woman
and helpless babes. This thing is a
monster of lawlessness and cruelty track
ing its course in the blood of brothers.

helpless orphans piteously crying for the
protector of whom they are bereft.
Let us call things by their right names
1t is not the code of honor but the code
of blood-not the field of honor but the
field Of murder. In Gods eve every
man who goes upon it is murderer. In
the laws eye every man who takes the
life of another upon it, is stained with
the guilt of murder Let our Christian
people cry out against it. Let our young
men shun it as they would the gates Of
hell. Let them have the courage to
obey the conviction of conscience, to obey
the voice of God, whatever lawless and
restless spirits may say of them. And
let this bloody moloch be remanded to
the barbarism out of which it sprang.

ANTs.-The long and careful obserga-
lions OF Sir John Lubbock, in reference
to the instincts and life of ants, have es-
tabllshed many curious facts. They have
model communities for good order, and
industry. and cleanliness, and care for
the common good. They can commune
cate freely with each other, and work to-
gether, or divide into sections, each attend
ing to special task, as intelligentlv as
men. They know each other, and in
stantly detect a stranger they never
mistake one of their own number for a
stranger, though he may have been
separated from them for months. But
they never attempt to liberate their
friends, when in confinement, or even to
help them, save when wounded in battle.
Sir John Lubbock took ants from sew
eral hills, and confined them in bottles
covered with gauze, close by their homes.
In no case did the ants pay any attention
to them, or offer any help. But when he
put strange ants, in similar bottles. near
the hills, the whole body were at once
agitated. Some were on guard confirm
ally, and in every case they managed to
penetrate the gauze, and DESTROY the
strangers. He concludes that hatred is
stronger than affection in ant life.-Cona-
par1tOT1.

5 ! As the tannery and sawmill represent the leading industries of the Sullivan backwoods, so the tan bark gatherer and the lumberman are the distinctive human types For two months succeeding the middle of May the for. mer is at his hardest work in the woods for it is at this season that the sap rises ip,, the hemlocks and loosens the bark so that. can be detached. The tan-bark gatherer builds
 his little hut in the forest near the scene of his labors and takes to it his wife and child ren and perhps working partner as board CT. Both were brawny big boned men whose skill as axemen is almost supernatural Their keen blades, yielded with unerring eye and trained muscle, never make a false stroke, and one of them can fell tree two feet thick in few minutes. The calling is dangerous, for the great hemlock trees stand straight as arrows, and many life has been lost in these woods by seconds miscalcuiation of the falling direction. The tan-bark men work in pairs. One fells the tree, his companion rapidly grdles the bark at about four feet distances and separates it lengthwise. With long steel chisel or ''spud" the bark is then torn of and thrown aside to be gathered when
 dry and heaped up at the tanneries in lofty slant topped heaps sometimes fifteen feet high and several hundred feet long. The lumberman is the co-laborer in this region with the tanner and his mon. Great sawmills overhang the streams every few miles of their course and so cheap is lumber that, even, Tn thick woods, fences are often made of boards rather than rails. But between the tanner and the lumberman the romance of these splendid forests is fast waning The streams at many places are choked with enormous jams of slabs and polluted with tan dregs or sawdust, while even on the highest mountains vast open spaces show where the axemen have done their work of devastation. The chil, dren of these handy back woodsmen are not least among the curiosities of the region. At fourteen years old .he girls look like full grown women with the frames of men, and their masses of long hair would be the boast of many triumphant belle of the city,
