A Russian Horror.
away.
London Times.]

Some days ago Russian letters reported
that III persons had been burned in a
barn. Naturally the story was received
with incredulity, but the St. Petersburg
Golos declars that it is only too true.
According to this journal 119 women and
BOYS employed in a large turnip farm in
the district of Putinol, in the Govern
ment of Koursk, were much dissatisfied
with the bread supplied by the farm
steward, alleging that it was unfit for
food, and threatening to leave off work.
After dinner they all withdrew to barn
to rest during the hottest period Of the
day. The steward came and locked them
in; soon after four farmers came and set
fire to the barn. The fire spread rapidly
through the building, which was like tin
der. and soon the whole barn was in
flames. The shrieks of the unfortunate
prisoners soon brought some people to the
spot. The could not help them because
the doors open inward, and already the
mass of frantic women so jammed the
doors from within as to make any effort to
open the doors fruitless. Five women
were taken out alive, but so fearfully
burned that they died almost immediate
". All the remaining ia persons perish
ed in the flames. One of the lncendiaries
went off and drowned himselfright away,
the other three are in prison. The object
of the laborers who set fire to the barn was
to free the prisoners; but, as in the case of
incendiary attempts in, jails, those who
were intended to be saved were the first
to suffer. S .sH# e..

of wood, ten to one we should lose a fin
ger in the operation. M
1t is:a pleasant relaxation every day to
leave books and studies and work an
hour or two In tool shop; and my friend
the learned and lovable Prof. Oliver
Wendell Holmes, finds such comfort in
Intending things" when his active brain
needs repose, that he sometimes breaks
a piece of furniture on purpose that he
may have the relief of putting it together
again much better than it was before.
He is as good mechanic as he is poet;
but there is nothing mechanical about
his poetry, as you all know who have
read his delightful pieces. An English
author, some time ago, said to me:
professor Holmes is writing the best
English of our times" And could not
help adding: eyes, and inventing the
best microscopes, too"
A boy ought also to be at home in q
barn, and learn how to harness horse,
tinker up wagon, feed the ANIMALS, and
do hundred useful things, the expert
ence of which may be of actual service
to him in after life as an explorer or a
traveller, when unlOOked-fOr emergencies
befall him. | have seen an ex-President
of the United States, when an old man,
descend from his carriage and rearrange
buckles and straps about the horses when
an accident occurred, while the
clumsy coachman stood by in hopeless
inactivity, not knowing the best thing to
be done. The ex-President told me that
he had learned about such things when
he was boy, on a farm, and he was
never at loss for remedies on the road
when the carriage broke down.
If were boy again l would learn
how to row boat and handle sail.

Manual Education.
From the st. Louis Republican,


think 1 would learn to use my left
hand as freely as my right one, SO that
if anything happened to either of them
the other would be all ready to write and
"handle things" just as if nothing had
occurred There is no reason IN the world
why both hands should not be educated
alike. A little practice would soon rem
der one set of fingers as expert as the
other; and have known people who
never thought, when a thing was to be
done, which particular hand ought to do
it. but the one nearest to the object
took hold of it and did the Office re-
quired.
| would learn the art Of using tools of
various sorts. l think / would insist on
learning some trade, even if knew there
would be no occasion for me to follow it
when l grew up What pleasure it is
in after life to be able to make something,
as the saying is-to construct neat box
to hold ones pens and paper; or pretty
cabinet for a sisters Library; or to frame
favorite engraving for Christmas
present to a kind, dear mother What
loss not to know how to mend chair

cause it needs few tacks and bit of

The Evil of Gossip.

There is apeace which comes from
surrendered as well as from fulfilled
hopes-a peace not of satisfied, but of
extingulshed longing; the peace not of
the happy love and secure fireside, but
of unmurmuriug and accepted loneliness.
There is, too the peace not of the heart
which lives in joyful serenity afar from
trouble and from strife, but the heart
which feels that its conflicts are over and
it's hopes are buried. This is the peace
of the passionless instead of the happy.
When, after restless strivings, such
uuietness Of soul comes to one, God pity
the hand that disturbs it! What scandal,
harsh speech, unkind criticism, or CEN
sure intrudes it's venom sting, then what
mortal can possess his soul in patienceg
How many hearts in the broad land cry
out that cit is hard" when cold, unsym-
pathyzing natures give vent to the spleen
which fills their small souls by vile insin-
uatlons and base ISLANDERS! Let one such,
whether they be man or woman, think
for moment Of the breaking hearts and
burdened spirits of those they SO ruth
lessly attack, and they will shrink from
inflicting such unnecessary pain for the
mere qualification of taste for gossip.

BY ALICE GRAY.

BOSNIAN boatman, my brain is wild,
AS wild as the rainy seas,
Ny poor little child, my sweet little child,
Is corpse upon my knees.
Ono holy choir to sing so low
No priest to kneel in prayer
No tirewoman to help me sew
as A cap fol- his golden hair "s-gs' -=ss.''as'
Dropping his oars in the rainy sea,
The pious boatman cried:
"Not without Him who is life to thee;
Could the little child have died!
"His grace the same, and the same His power
Demanding our love and trust,
Whether He makes of the dust a flower,
Or changes flower to dust,
"On the land and the water, all in all,
The strength to be still, or pray,
To blight the leaves in their time to fall,
Or light up the hills with May"

An Incident with a Moral.

a preacher IN western state, DoLlS
called upon by Bishop Morris to report
his missionary collection in open confer
ence, made this statement: cat the last
conference was sent to church that
had never done much for missions. All
they permitted was plate collection once
a year. When went there the church
needed repairing and the parsonage must
be rebuilt; and having to raise so much
money for themselves, they resolved that
they must withhold their usual missionary
contribution for that year at least, and
to present the cause. AS they presented
necessity. l fell into the trap, ard we
agreed to take no missionary collection.
"The very next Sunday, as was my Gus
tom, l invited persons to come forward. >
Among those who presented themfelves
was young girl who had been away to
school, but whose mother was very sick;
and had called her home to attend to her.
AS she handed me her certificate of mem
bership, she asked me if we had appoint
ed our missionary collectors for the year,
saying that she had been one of the col
lectors in the church where she had at
tended school, that she loved the work,
and would be glad to continue it. l
stated to her the action of the official
board, and that we would not raise any
missionary money this year. Her
countenance fell. She was sad, and
returned to her pew. Early the next
morning she called on me for COL
lector's book. I told her that / had none
indeed, there never had been one in
that church. Whereupon she wrote to
her former pastor, requesting him to send
her missionary collectors book. In
due course of mail it came, and she pre-
sented it to me that l should certify to
her good character, and that she was au-
thorized to receive money for the support
of missions "The whole affair soon
passed out of my mind. We repaired the
church, we rebuilt the parsonage, and
the bills were paid. Yesterday morning,
when starting for conference; l saw that
young girl coming through'the gate and
up the walk to mNhouse. AS she came
in, she said: 4 understand you are go
ing to conference yes was the reply.
Here, she said, lis a little missionary
money we have gathered during the
year. And the faithful girl counted out
seventy-siX dollars which she had quietly
collected in church and community
where they had never given more than
twenty-five dollars under the most stir
ring appeals Of the pastor, and when they
had resolved to withhold even this
amount for that year. Bishop, my mis-
sionary collection is seventy-six dollars!'
This incident, adds Bishop Morris, is full
of instruction and encouragement. Ifall
our people are trained to love the cause
of missions, and act for it, as was this
young Christian, there is no power on
earth or I'M hell that can overthrow the
missionary enterprise.

THE DARK AND THE DAWN.
Boston Transcript. ]

Boston Transcript
The glow against the western sky
Has faded into tender gray;
The breezes IN their fitful sigh
Betoken soon the end of day,
The shadows creep from vale to hill,
The chill mist settles DER the river;
The things the day brought now are still,
The birdlings in the night air shiver.
From out the woodlands darkling glade
Two figures take their silent way;
Across their path has come no shade,
The paling light that wraps the earth
Is more to them than bright adjoining;
But marks the token of the birth,
The dawning of loves fairest morning.

The French Boy and His Mother.


From the Book on "Amenities of Home. VI
Nothing in this imperfect world is so
beautiful as the relation of a French son
to his mother. He sees from his first
sentient look the being whom every one
in the house adores. Does the nurse or
the maid speak even sharply to the mis-
tress of the house she is Immediately dis
charged. The child would thus see his
mothers authority verified from the first,
and, whatever we may say on this side Of
the water of the marriage relations IN
France, the master of the house certainly
compels a sort of respect toward the
mother and mistress of the house. which
goes far toward making the manners of a
nation respectful and polite. From the
cradle to the grave French son has one
duty, one affection, which is paramount
to all Others-that is, his love for his
mother. AS child, as a boy, he treats
her with perfect respect and obedience.
AS young man, he delights to send her
flowers, to take her to the theatres and
cafes. 1t is a common sight IN Paris to
see young man with a gray haired wo-
man at the public galleries and places of
amusement, apparently happy with each
other, the young man studying to make
his mother comfortable and amused.
Often, in leaving France, a young man
asks of his family the privilege Of taking
his mother with him as ''his guide,
philosopher and friend. Before his mar
rage is arranged she is his constant
companion, and his best adviser. Never
until death separates them does he fail
in his duty toward her. and after that he
keeps the anniversary of her death as
the most sacred day, and visits her grave
with HIS children to dress it with
flowers.

"Gibs on to the Rear"
Memphis Republican.

The Memphis Republican has
convictions and means to express
them. It cheirshes an unalterable
fealty to the Republican party and
it's principles, and it remembers,
only to condemn. the small knot of
neutrality-suspicious. who recent>
ly brought themselves into ephem-
eral notorie3y by futile attempts to
bring Hon. Horace Maynard down
to their own mean and selfish level.
And CONSPICUOUS among the half
dozen who thus disported them
selves and brought defeat upon the
party in the Senatorial contest was
this same Henry r. Gibson, a man
who is great only when he writes his
own panegyrics, and even then the
greatness would not put out a gnat's
eye. It is no time to permit small
men to run away with the substan-
tial benefits of the great victory won
by the Republican party in Tennes-
see, and for one, we are determined
that traitors to the party, as we'll as
all fomenters of strife, shall take
back seats. Gibson to the rear.
