The IniidePs Prayer.

Away among the hills of Northern
New England were two infidel neigh.
bors, who had lived TO mans estate, sin
ming and blasphemine against God.
One of them heard the gospel message,
and hearing believed unto eternal life
A short time afterward the converted
man went to the house of his infidel
neighbor and said to him: al have come
to talk with you. have been convert
ed" eyes, heard that you had been
down there and gone forward for
prayer" said the skeptic with sncer,
"and l am surprised, for I thought You
were about as sensible man as there
was i'm town." "Well," said the Chris
tain, al have duty to do to you, and
l want you to stop talking and hear
me. l haven't slept much for two
nights thinking of it. have four sheep
in my flock that belong to you. They
came into my field six years ago, and /
knew they had your mark upon them,
but took them and marked them with
my mark; and you inquired all around
and could not hear anything of them.
But they are in my field, with their in
crease, and now l want to settle this
matter. have laid awake nights and
groaned over it, and have come to get
rid of it. And now l am at your Op-
ton. will do just what You say. If
1t is few years in the state prison, l
will suffer that. If it is money or prop
erty you want, say the word. l have a
good farm and money at interest, and
you can have all you ask. want to
settle this matter and get rid of it."
The infidel was amazed. He began to
tremble. 'lf you have got those sheep
you are welcome to them. 1 don't
want anything if you will only go away.
A man that will come to me as you
have-something must have get hold of
you that l can't understand. You may
have the sheep if you will only go
away" "No," said the Christian, 81
must settle this matter and pay for the
sheep! shall not be satisfied without.
And you must tell me how much."
"Well," said the skeptic, off you must
pay me you may give me what the
sheep were worth when they got into
your field and pay me six per cent in
terest on the amount, and go off and let
me alonc." The man counted out the
value of the sheep, and the interest on
the amount, and laid it down, and then
doubled the dose and laid as much
more beside 1t, and went his way, feav-
ing load on his neighbours heart al
most as heavy as that which he himself
had borne. The full results of that
scene are only known to God. One
thing is certain, the iniidel was seen to
frequent the house of prayer, and we
may be sure that he afterward believed
that there was some power in gospel,
and that all Christians were not hypo-
critics. Presbyterian

LITERARY NOTES.

An unusually interesting group OF
pictures will appear in the July Serb
ner, In an an article by Mr.. w. G.
Brownell, of the "Nation," on "The
Younger Painters of America" The
first picture is by Mr.. Sargent, a pupil
of Carolus Duran, who has Just taken
prize in the French Salon. Then fol-
low Maynard's portrait of Frank ID.
Millet, and pictures by Tiffany, Doug
las Volk, Maria II. Oakley, Mrs. Whit
man, Miss Bartol, Miss Knowlton, and
Miss Cassatt. Among the notable pic
lures in this number is portrait of DIR.
Dollinger, by the famous Lenbach, OF
Munich.
"THE CYCLoPEDIA WAR" The Cy-
clopedia War and the Literary Revolu-
ton are working wonderful and happy
results for the readers of books and
searchers after knowledge. The great
Library OF Universal Knowledge" is
announced to be completed and ready
for delivery TO purchasers in the early
part of July. IL is probably the largest
and most important literary work this
country and century have seen. It is
based upon Chambers Encyclopedia,
the last London edition of which is re-
printed entire as portion of its con-
tents, a large corps OF American editors
and writers adding thereto q vast
amount of information upon about 49,
600 subjects in every department of hu-
man knowledge. Chambers Encyclo-
pedia, whose distinguished merit is uni
versally known, is the laborious prod
uct of the ripest British and European
scholarship, but being a work of for
eign production it has been naturally
of American readers. In this new form
it is most thoroughly Americanized,
and becomes at once the largest and
most complete encyclopedia in the field,
at mere fraction of the cost of any
similar works which have preceded it,
containing about 10 per cent more mat.
ter than Appleton's Cyclopedia, at less
than one-fifth its cost, and 20 per cent.
more than Johnson's Cyclopedia at a
little more than one-fourth its cost.
The superlative value and importance
of this great Encyclopedia, however,
lies especially in the fact that is brought
within the reach of every one who as
pires to knowledge and culture. 1t is
really library of universal knowledge.
1t brings liberal education easily in
the reach of every plow-boy. Every
farmer aud every mechanic owes it to
himself and to his children that such a
cyclopedia shall henceforward form
part of the outfit Of his home. To the
intelligent mau in every walk of life a
Cyclopedia is indispensable. 1t is is
sued in various styles, in 10 large. beau
tiful octave volumes, varying in price
S15 for the edition in cloth to S25 for
the edition in full library sheep bind
ing. Liberal discounts even from these
extraordinary prices are allowed to
clubs, and the publishers, besides, pro-
pose during the next two months to
distribute $4,000 cash in special re-
wards to persons who forward clubs of
five, ten, or more subscribers. The
American Book Exchange, 764 Broad
way, New York, are the publishers,
who will send sample pages and full
particulars free on request. Orders for
the Cyclopedia and other publications
of the American Book Exchange are re-
ceived at the Register Office.

A respected Christian physician and
man of large experience writes to us:
81 have been just reading the article in
the Chronicle of the 10th, on New
Hampshlre's Future l admire the
man who has the Christian courage to
write such an article and the paper that
dares TO print it. lie writes in a good
spirit. He is talking to adulterers and
murderers, but he does not call them so.
lie simply lays the facts before them
and leaves them to name the crime
themselves. 1t is awful to think that
even in our churches we have such peo-
pie, men and women, quite unrepen-
tant, as members in full communion,
as bad as the worst of the Corinthian
church whom Paul rebuked. L know
we'll how to symp3thyze with those
who strive with such social wickedness.
Some of the worst enemies l have had
have been women who have called me
10 assist them to murder their unborn
children, and have rebuked and threat
ened with the law if they persisted in
their purpose" AS ministers can do
much to hinder adulterous purposes by
refusing their services in the case of un-
scriptural marriages, so can physicians
do much to hinder these foul social
crimes. We commend the example of
the fearless physician.

The other morning, when Mr.. Jones
entered his family drugstore to have a
prescription put up he found q new
clerk in attendance. Mr.. Jones has
considerable curiosity, and while he
waited lie began:-
"Been here long?"
"Only two days"
"Going TO stay?"

"Old clerk gone for good?"
"Yes."
"Come from BOston?"

"Wcll not much better"
Druggist related to you?"
"No."
"Going to marry his daughter?"
'llaven't thought of it,"
There was brief rest until the clerk
had finished his labors, and then he
beckoned MIR. Jones into the back room
and said: -
"YOu look like pei son that can be

No Compliments Wasted.

Some amusingly blunt o5iter dicta are
sure to come out in short street dialo-
gues like this-where one of the speak
ers jumps at conclusion and the other
at third persons back.
"Do you know a person named John
Fairchildr inquired one citizen of
another, as they met on Lanerd street
the other day.
"John Fairchild3 No; never heard OF
him."
''Such person called on me yester-
day and said he was an old friend of
yours"
"There he lied. What did he want"
ale asked for the loan of five dol
lars"
"And because he said he was an old
friend of mine you let him have 1t the
villan?"
"No, sir; because he said he was an
old friend of yours l showed him the
door at once"
"Um," growled the one.
"Um," replied the other, and they
slowly backed of aud continued theiI
ways.
