The Minister'S Cow.

An exchange tells this droll story
of elergyman's experiment and how
1t ended:
Some years ago there lived IN Cen
trail New York a very worthy and
respectable divine known as Father
Goss. He had a hired man named
Isaac, who always obeyed orders with
ost question.
Father Goss bought COW one day
which proved refractory when MIXED,
refusing 10 surrender the lacteal 1uid,
although Isaac used all the persuasive
arts ofwhich be was master, He final
ly reported her dellnquencies to his mas
ter.
We'll, Isaac said he, go to the barn
and get those pieces Of new rope
Isaac obeyed; the COW was driven
into the stable, tied with a piece OF Lne
rope. when the Rev. came out, armed
with a knife.
Now he exclaimed to Isaac, Il will
get on the cows back and you tie my
feet beneath her, then you 60 on with
your milking, and with my weight on
her back she must give down her
milk
Isaac obeyed. The feet were tied,
the pail got and milking commenced.
But bossy objected, and plunged
wildly about. The stable was low, and
the Rev's head was fearfully thumped.
'Ob, Isaac, Isaac y bawled he, cut the
rope
Isaac seized the knife and cut-not
the rope which tied the masters feet,
BUT the one that tied the cow. The
stable gate was open, also the yard
gate.
Away darted the frantic COW, the
terrified man on her back helplesslY
roaring: Stop her, stop her!
While madly careering down the road
be met a parishioner, who excitedly
called: why, Mr.. Goss. where are you
going?' >
Only God and this COW know
groaned he; I DON'T
The animal was finally caught and
the man released, much frightened but
unhurt.

could He Play Billiards :?

He was a quiet-looking old man, and
be walked quietly into a Main street
billiard room, just 'to while away few
moments, as he aflerward remarked.
Seating himselfnear a table where sew
eral young gentlemen were amusing
themselves, he ventured one or two
suggestions about the shots, and wager
ed and lost fifty cents, the result Of a
difficult point.
Gould he play billiards We'll, no,
not very we'll ; still he used to handle "a
cue pretty WE'LL
Would he plays a game" We'll, yes,
Just for fun, you know, and to pass the
time.'
He played aud lost, paying for the
drinks and giving his opponent the
dollars which had been wagered on the
result.
Would be play another game?' He
didn't care
Would he wager three dollars?' Didn't
like to, but would, just for the fun Of the
thing
He had been beaten easily before.
The young man thought him an old
gentleman with money to spare VINO
was out seeing life.
Would he wager with others? He
didn't care.'
Thirty dollars in small bets were fin
ally wagered. The elder man quietly
remarked, with a quaint smile, that he
thought he should have 10 do better
this time. should smile, answered his
iaunty opponent, as he made the hrs
shot and lost 1t. The elder man quiet
ly handled his cue until he got the balls
into a corner, and then ran the game
out. Buttoning up bis coat and pock-
eting his gains, he was about to dep'-',
when the young gentleman insisted :ha f.
be was a fraud, aud wanted his money
back. The old gentleman quietly said
there was a mistake-he had only come
in to see them play, and then walked
out.

was sent fer, and as l entered the open
door, be shrieked and sprang out Of
bed, crying with terror:
'There he is at last-I knew he'd
come. 1 promised him to do better and
to join his church, but I've not done
it, and now he's coming with chains to
bind me. Oh, oh ~
Such was his alarm and such the con-
sternatlon of his attendants and family,
that I closed the door and retired while
the poor creature sank into the cold
arms of death. What of the business
of which this is the ripe fruit!
Again 1 was called TO visit man who
was my neighbor. His wife was a quiet
Christian lady. He was consumed by
whlskey. He had labored for several
years on the road with a single horse
and cart. He cried out:
"There they come! There they
come! Can't you see them devils
comingG They are almost here!"
He then seized bis wife by the hair
of the head, as she bent over him
weeping, and reproachcd and cursed
her for not keeping the devils out Of
the room.
With great difficulty we unclinched
bis hands, and then calling his horse
by name, and shifting in the air re-
peatedly, as with whipin hand, to make
his escape, he soon sank amid the
seething waters of deaths cold and
sullen stream.
Now, what Of the business-the SOW
ing that yields such a harvest of deaths?
and such deaths!
Surely, every good citizen, behe church
member or not, will unite in suppress
Ing the liquor business, while they wish
and pray for the good, the reformation
and the salvation of the men who have
mistaken hfe's mission and have en-
gagged ia this dreadful work. In this
work we shall, by the help of God, go
forward, with charity for all, and
malice toward none" And We know
in due time we shall reap, if we faint
not.-Reu. T. Ball, D. D.

A Nickel

In Galveston, there is NO coin Of a
lower denomination than a nickel ln
circulation, this is OF course, great
inconvenience. For instance, yesterday
two men quarreled on the avenue.
The bigger man ofthe two said to the
smaller man:
For three cents III give you the con-
foundest licking you lever got in your
life.
The little man looked wicked. He
had his coat off in less than minute.
Then he took ont a nickel aud rendered
it to the other party, who said:
4 said I'd lick you for three cents ,
and I'll do it. That's five cents. Gim-
me three cents, and Ill 6x you so the
Coroner will have TO hire a hack to get
enought of you together to hold an IN
quest
You can keep the change said the
little fellow, edglDg up.
I'm like the country. 1 don't want
any change. l stick to my proposition
Gimme three cents and 1 will destroy
you. $50
Here is fifteen cents. Suppose you
lick nae five times, and then 1t will come
out eyen.'
sAfler I've licked you once there wont
be enough lefr for dog TO lick. I'm
not gong to rob your widow and orph-
ans OF twelve cents. Gimme three
cents aud the trouble can begin right
now. It's not my fault that there are
no copper ceuts in circulation, l-"'

Stand Firm.

Some years ago, as two young gentle
men were going home from party in
Philadelphia, they were attacked by
gang Tot rowdles. The youths were
brothers, and noted for their skill IN
boxing. Standing back to back, they
knocked down their assallants as
fast as they came at them. In a few
minutes the rewdles fed. Similar
tactics once saved two English anglers
from being bitten by a pack of fierce
dogs. AS they were passing a farms
bouse, large dog, whose barking and
glaring eyes announced his rage, dashed
at them.
Catch up some stones and stand
back to back, or bell worry US, cried
the elder.
Armed with as many stones as they
could pick up, they put themselves in
position and waited the charge. But
the dog did not attack. He evidently
thought the position too formidable tor
him to carry by assault. After cireling
round the men two or three times, he
returned to the farmhouse.
The anglers, congratulating them
selves on the success Of their tactics
pressed onward. They had just passed
over the brow of bill when chorus
Of 'Yelp, yelp, yelpp announced another
and more dangerous attack.
we are hunted, shouted one to the
other more stones, and stand firm, or
we are dead men,
Filling their pockets and hands with
stones, the two men again stood back to
back, and waited anxlously the attack.
On came ;he large dog, with four other
dogs; all open.mouthed and barking
furiOusly.
They. too, had their tactics. They
began by circling round the anglers, and
gradually drew nearer and nearer.
A well-aimed stone struck the leader
ofthe pack on the head and rolled hln
over. Another stone bit a second dog
on the side and sent him cut of the
circle bowling with pain.
Then the pack halted, retreated some
distance, and again began to circle
round the men. Suddenly they went
round and round, until, seeing ne
chance for an assault, they went slowly
of oyer the hill.
The anglers went their way,speculat'
ing as to the method by which the large
dog persuaded the four companions to
join him in assaulting bis enemies.

A Lady's Experience.


The following was written from
America to missionary IN India, In a
private letter; 1t was given TO the pub
lie in the India Methodist Watchman
Il want to tell you that I am able 10
shout Victory. 1 just wanted to write
and tell you what God had done for me.
You know how much we used to talk
and wonder. Well. last winter was
very uneasy, and felt that 1 must have
more religion or give up altogether, and
so l had. a great many fluctuations until,
finally, I would not give up my Will to
God. just deliberately said:
No, Lord, know what you want
me to do is right; know am drifting
away when I don't do It, and am run
ming the risk of losing my soul; but
don't want to give 1t up, and I want do
It,
well, 1 went on in that way until
backslid. I felt as if God would not
forgive me because 1 had sinned so
much. But one day I came back to
God, confessed all, and knew he for

in that. But still was not satisfied;
the old struggle came up again. land Ibid

BILE werk for God. 1 prayed and tried
to work myself up into proper frame
Of mind, so God could bless me. But
failed everything. 1 then resolved to
go To- camp meeting, hoping 1
could get rest then. 1 did not tell any
one, although the last Sunday before l
left l came very near getting up in
Mrs. Hamline's meeting and asking
them to pray for me. But 1 did not.

ther to D.. But l had no idea how
1 would get what 1 wanted. The
secoud night 1 was there Or, W. gave
an invitation to all who were hungry TO
come to the altar. l dropped my book
and almost ran, although 1 was on the
platform with the singers. l found
out afterward tha Tracy soon followed.
Well, l stayed there till after IL p. N.

and there found out what 1 wanted
was to glye up my own will 10 God,
and simply believe the promises Of God.
But It seemed as if could not. 1
went back TO my tent alone, and made
up my mind 10 stay there until I had
made complete surrender.

but came out victorious, and o, II I
could only tell what peace, what a rest
of faith haYe had ever since (for two
months). 1t seems as i'll could almost

A beautiful person is the na .urai form
of a beautiful soul. The mind builds
its own house. The soul takes precd-
euch of the body, and shapes the body
to its own likeness. A vacant mind
takes all the meaning out OF the fairest
face. A sensual disposition detorms
the handsomest features. A cold seinsn
heart shrivels and distorts the best
looks. A grovclling spirit takes all the
dignity out OF figure and ell the
character out Of the couutenance'
Cherished hatred transforms the most
beautiful lineaments into the image oi
darkness.
