Why Bishop Ames Sat Down.

Edward R. Ames, a late distin-
guished Bishop of the Methodist
Church, began his ministry in Illinois,;
and, after becoming Bishop, be always
seemed especially happy in holding
Annual Conferences in that State.
More than twenty years ago he was
presiding over the conference in ses-
sion atSt. Charles, village forty miles
west of Chicago, when there occurred
an incident that beautifully illustrated
his character, won for him the lasting
affections Of his clergy in those parts,
and published an insight into his early
life. The details of the story | gather
from one who was present.
A motion had been under considera-
ton for some time, and the Bishop,
apparently thinking that enough had
been said, arose to debate. AT the
same instant an eldery preacher, not
observing the movement of the Bishop,
stood up to,add his views, when brother
tugged at his coat and signaled that
that the Bishop had the floor. But
that worthy saw the maneuver, recogni-
zed the man with remark to offer,
and dropping into his said, said: "Speak
on, my good brother. Bishop Ames
always sits down when Father Sinclair
has anything to say
The large company Of ministers were
much amazed; first looked seriously
into the faces of one another; then
gradually relaxed into mutual smiles,
thinking the grave official had sudden
ly laid aside dignity for little pleas
antry at the expense of Father Sin
clair. But the Bishop was far from
the joking mood. Father Sinclair,
alone in ali the house, understood his
motive, and was SO embarrassed be-
cause he did that he said but little on
the question he had risen to, then sat
down, flushed, with confusion, while
the auditors wondered what surprise
the Bishop had next in store for them.
All bent upon him a gaze that seemed
to solicit explanation. The Bishop n-
derstood the glances, and responded. His
imposing form once more had the floor.
His ever kind face betrayed emotion,
and the last trace of a smile faded from
the faces of the people as they looked
into his. He proceeded, with evident
hesitation, about as follows:
Brethren, said be, II see that
you are surprised over my remark
to Father Sinclair. 7 think can
relate a little story that will fully
satisfy you that Bishop Ames does
well to always sit down when Father
Sinclair has anything to say. Upward
of twenty-five years ago [ knew q
young man just starting out to preach.
He had been converted several years
before, while in college, and thought
he had clear call to the work of the
ministry. He had been licensed by
his quarterly conference, and had
tried hard for one year to make head
way in the pulpit, or rather school
houses, of frontier circuit. But he
made very poor work of preaching.
1t was not then permissible for a
Methodist minister to take into the
pulpita manuscript, or even a note,
and continue to be thought orthodox.

The boy Who Would Go With the
Circus.

The boy who would travel with q
circus has been out about three weeks
now. He is homesick, and would like
to get back to the old home again if he
could, but he can't very well. They
amt paying boys much to go along
with circus this year, and he isn't in
funds Beside that he doesn't know
exactly what direction to take to get
home, being somewhat bewildred with
the zig-zag route they have been
taking. Things haven't turned out
precisely as he expected when he ran
away from home to join the show.Hi
ambition to be circus boy was infamr
ed when he first saw the posters dis
plyaed on the old blacksmith shop at
the corners, while On his way to school.
Then the procession on the street
added to his yearnings for the circus,
and by the time the canvas was spread
on the village common he was satisfied
that nothing but life of mingled
spangles and sawdust could ever satisfy
him. He got in that night by doing
some little jobs for the boss canvas
man, and when they pulled up stakes
after the performance and started for
the next town. he. hid among the rolls
of canvas on a wagon and was carried
away with the rest of the parapherna-
liza. But he hasn't had pleasant time
altogether. He hos been kept at all
manner of drudgery ever since his pre-
sence along with the show was detect
ed. He has been cuffed about by
rude hostlers, bounced off wagons by
grouty drivers and ordered around by
everybody. Once he was jolted Off
the pole wagon while he was asleep at
night, on the road, and nearly killed.
He expected when he joined the
show that he would be dressed up in
spangled tights at once and taught to
ride in the ring, having the old clown
fling all manner of funny sayings at him
for the people to laugh at and applaud.
If not that, he would be set to play
the snare drum in the band. But none
of these things came. His chief duties
fwere to assist the cook or carry water
to the elephant. Three weeks with a
circus and not yet advanced to the po-
sition of a property-boy. Poor lad!
how have his Authorizations been dis
sipated! Actual show-life is very far
from his wide-eyed dreams of it while
studying the circus poster. We hope
he will get home all right at last,
bringing some useful lessons from his
rough experience. But the boy who
ran after the show is but an illustra-
ton of human life, after all. How
many men have been deluded by
spangles while they were only carrying
water for the elephant!-Cincinnat'
Saturday Night.
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1881-01-23

The young man would get through
his opening prayer and hymns, COM
mence his sermon, lose the thread of
it before he was half through, stumble
on for little time further in a STAN
mering, incoherent manner. and call
it finished, or break down completely
IN tears and deepest modification;
and that, too, with half-dozen gray
haired pilgrims before him who could
stand up and talk by the hour. And
still that young man PERSISTED in
thinking that he had a call to preach
"But at the end OShis first year the
almost unanimous voice of the confer
ence was that the youth had mistaken
his calling, and that it would be trifling
with sacred interests to renew his
license. Just before the vote was taken
a friendly minister, for whom all had
great respect, and who knew much Of
the candidates private prayers and
struggles, stood up and professed be-
lief in his call and urged a renewal of
his license. And against conviction,
but as mark of personal regard for
the friendly minister, the young mans
license to preach was renewed for
another year,
.'His second year in the ministry was
only slight improvement over the
first. If his public work effected any
good, it came of tears, not of talk. And
when he again asked to have his
credentials continued, there was a very
decided expression among the official
brethren that the young man might be
very pious; but it was clear that he
couldn't preach. They had tried him
two years. That was probation enough
for any man with a call. When
again the same kindly voice Of that
friendly minister plead with the
public conference to try the Jealous
boy once more. His last chance was
given; but very reluctantly, and not at
| all on judgment. but as favor to his
| friend.
Brethren, continued the Bishop,
with choked utterance and tears cours-
ing down his cheeks, ':that friend
was Father John Sinclair, and that
boy, was Edward r. Ames. Now you
know why Bishop Ames always sits
down when Father Sinclair has any
thing to say
The Bishop sat down, while every
eye in the house ran tears over joyous
face. The conference took an informal
intermission, while Father Sinclair re-
ceived an ovation of thanks from all
for having saved the boy and made the
Bishop. His perception of young
mans call to preach was never after
questioned.

A Valuable Plant.

The sunfower is turned to extraordi-
nary account in Lithania. The seeds
yield at first pressure excellent salad oil,
and the residue forms excellent oil coke
for cattle, who are also fond of the
leaves and stalks chopped up. The
flowers little short OF bloom are, when
cooked, nearly as good as artichokes,
and are in the garden very attractive to
bees. The leaf, well dried, is used as
tobacco. The seed receptacles are made
into blotting paper, and the inner part
of the stalk is made into fine writing
paper. The more woody portions of
the plant, which attains great size, are
used for fuel. The best is obtained in
the Crimea. AS an anti-malarial agent
the sunfower is most valuable.-FaeM

Lincoln's Reception to Stephens.

A new story of Lincoln-new to ne

in Chicago during theGrant reception,
and which in this connection it may
not be amiss to tell. Your readers
will recall the Peace Conference which
occurred in February, 1858, at Fort,

Lincoln and Secretary Seward on the
one side and Alexander II. Stephens,
John A. Campbell and 4. N. L: Hunt.
er on the other. The attenuation OF
Mr.. Stephens has long been matter
of such general notoriety that it is not
offensive to speak of it. 1t seems that
Mr.. Lincoln had never seen Mr.. Steph
ems before. At that time a kind OF
cloth was worn by Southern gentlemen
nearly of the shade of the ordinary
corn-husk: and Mr.. Stephens great
coat was made of that material. But

beneath to protect him against the
raw wind of Hampton Roads and Mr..
Lincoln watched with much interest
the process of shedding, until the man

IT'S no pleasan task contrasting
Now and then,
Though long for kindness lasting
Once again.
Then you said you thought me clever
Nolo you listen to me never,
And your silence seems to sever
Now and then.
Still l cannot but adore you
Now and then,
Though l see in shoals before you
All the men;
Women are but cattle-kittle,
And their promises are brittle -
Can't you love me-just little
Now and then?

IT is beautifully remarked that a
mans mother is the representative of his
Maker. Misfortune and mere crime set
no barriers between her and her son.
While his mother lives man has one
friend on earth who will not desert him
when he Is needy. Her affection flows
from pure fountain and ceases only at
the ocean of eternity.
