Preaching to the Insane.

4 good story is told by a Brattle
boro clergyman who had been in
the habit of preaching Sunday af
ternOons to the inmates Of the asy-
lum for the insane. The clergy
men in that village take turns in
this work, and one afternoon one of
them preached about the alabaster
box of precious ointment which was
poured upon the Masters feet. As
he came out of the chapel one Of the
patients came to him and said, "You
have got us pretty well anointed
now," and in explanation added that
for two preceding Sundays different
clergymen had preached on the
same subject. =
This story reminds us of another,
as good one, told of Il clergyman
in jacksonville, Ill. This minbEer
was out Of field and hearing there
was no preaching IN the asylum IN
that city sought the opportunity to
dispense the gospel there. AT his
first service he was very much graft
fed to observe the close attention
that one Of his patients gave to his
sermon, and ho went away and told
some of his friends that he had
found a very hopeful field Of labor
in the asylum which had been neg
lected too long. The next Sunday
he noticed the same intent expires
sion on the face of this hopeful lis
tener and thought the man wOald
soon be covertcd Again the next
| Sunday the same man gave eager
attention, convincing the clergyman
that he was not far from the king
dom of heaven. In the sermon the
the old story had been related about
Hindoo women casting their chill
drcn into the Ganges. The minis
ter songht an opportunity at the
close Of service for a personal con
versation with his eager listener
The patient graspcd his hand warm.
" and said: Il couldn't hcl p think
ling while you were telling that story
that it was a great pity your moth
cr didn't chuck you into the river
when you were a baby"

Not to be Coerced.

Calling early one hot morning in
summer of 1859 at the residence of
Stephen A. Douglas, in Washington
| found him earnestly engaged IN
conversation with a Northern Scna-
tor. a supporter Of the administra-
ton of James Buchanan, who was
endeavoring to secure his vote IN
favor of candidate for an impor-
tant office. whose nomination was tC
be sent to the Senate on that day
At this time Mr. Douglas, by his
refusal to support the "Lecomptor
Constitution tor the Government
of the Territory Of Kansas, whicl
he considered fraud, and an Insu-
perable obstacle to the future pros
perity of the Territory, had incurred
the enmity of Mr.. Buchanan an
his Cabinet advisers. From then
he had, according to his own state
ment, experienced annoyances an'
prosecutions which had around al
the bitterness OF his nature,
lie listened attentiycly to the ap
peal of the Senator. and, waving
direct response, proceeded to speaI
of the treatment he had received
from Buchanan and his subordi-
mates in office. As he proceeded n
became terribly eloquent. The bloo'
mounted to his temples, and hi
whole frame quivered with rage.
When Mr.. Douglas had cease'
speaking, the disappointed Senate
rose to depart. On reaching tn
door which opened upon the hall, h
exclaimed, with a menancing look
''Sir, if you vote against my car
didate, / will vote against ever.

Exasperated anew by this remar
Mr.. Douglas literally rushed acros
the room with uplifted hand, an6
standing before the speaker, rapid
t " snapped his fingers within fe
) inches of his face, exclaiming at I'll
, same time:
"Sir, / care not that for you {
f your threats. and if you thought
ntimidate me you had better hay
e stayed away from my house"
!. The Senator, evidently deeming
: useless, or, perhaps, unsafe, for hi
2 to reply, made no response, bl
G quickly left the house, and N
Douglas resumed his seat.
e At this moment the door W:

He wanted to see the whole way
there before taking the first step.
While in this state of indecision
and unhappiness, he one evening
sought the house Of his favorite pro-
ressor for he was a college student
at the time, and they talked for
several hours upon the all-absorb-
! ing topic. But the conversation
ended without dispclling his fears
or bringing him any nearer the
point of decision.
When he was about TO go home
the professor accompanied him to
the door, and, observing how dark
the night was, prepared a lantern,
and handing it to his young friend,
sdid:
"Georgc, this little light will not
show you the whole way to your
room, but only one step at time;
but take that step, and you will
reach your home in safety"
1t proved the word in season. AS
George walked along in the path
frightened by the lantern, the truth
flashed through his mind, dispell
inc the last shadow of doubt.
"Whv can l not trust my heaven
" father he said to himself, seven
if / can't see my way clear to the
end, if He gives me light to take
one step? / will trust Him"
He could hardly wait till he
reached his room to fall on his
knees and thank God for the peace
and Joy that filed his soul.
Early the next morning the pro-
fessor was summoned to the door.
There he found George Manning.
With beaming face he looked up to
his teacher. and as he handed him
, the lantern, said significantly;
| doctor, your little lantern light
e ed me all the way home last night"
