Geometry couldn't produce straighter
line or truer angles. See the toe of that
stocking It's like piece of Goblelin
tapestry. That's the way 1 like to see
things done"
And NJ. Broderick never rested until
he had been formally introduced to
Honora haywood, and had thanked her
with equal. .formality for the good Offices
she had unwittingly rendered him.
1t was a golden October evening that
Honora came down In the kitchen,
where Mrs. Pennypacker was baking
pies for her eccentric boarder, with the
crusts made of the best Alderney butter
instead of lard.
oh, dear oh dear !" said Mrs. PEN
nypacker. "What thing it is to be
an old bachelor!"
He won't be an old bachelor much
longer" said Honora, laughing and col
oring, as she laid her cheek on the good
landlady's cushioning shoulder.
What do you mean ~ said Mrs.
Pennypacker.
" He has asked me to marry him, p
said Honora, after only two weeks ac-
quaintance. He says that girl who
can mend stockings as 1 do, needs no
other test. And he says he loves me

"Well 2"

pered Miss haywood.

tary life was solved, all through the

The story of Stories.

Rev. DR.. Chamberlain, missionary
in Persia, has recently communicated
the following remarkable incident from
his own experience:
81 wish l could take you to scenein
the kingdom of Hyderabad, fourteen
years ago. There, in q city, walled
town of 1880 inhabitants, the people
had risen in mob to drive us out, be-
cause we tried to speak of another God
than theirs. We had gone to the market
place, and had endeavored to preach
to them of Christ and his salvation; but
they would not have it,
They ordered us to leave the city at
once; but had declined to leave uutil
had delivered to them my message. The
throng was filling the streets. They
told me if l tried to utter another word
should be killed There was no res-
cue; they would have the city gates clos
ed, and there should never any news go
forth of what was done. / must leave at
once, or never leave the city alive l
had seen them tear up the paving stones,
and I'LL their arms with them, to be
ready and one was saying to another,
You throw the first stone, and / will
throw the next
SIN way need not stop now to de-
tail, L succeeded in getting permission to
tell them story before they stoned me,
and then they might stone me il they
wished. They were standing around
me ready to throw stones, while l told
them the story of all stories--the love of
the Divine Father that had made us of
one blood who so loved the world that
he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not
perish but have everlasting lfe.' told
them that story of the life in the manger
at Bethlehem of that wonderful child
hood; of that marvellous life; of those
miraculous deeds; of the gracious words
that he spoke. 1 told them the story of
the cross, and pictured, in the graphic
words that the Master gave me that day,
the story of our Saviour nailed to the
cross, for them, for me, for all the world,
when he cried in agony, My God, my
| God, why hast thou forsaken me p
| ."When L told them that, / saw the
men go and throw their stones into the
! gutter, and come back; and down the
cheeks of the very men that had been
clamoring the loudest for my blood, /
saw the tears running and dropping up
| on the pavement they had torn up
! And when L told them how he had been
| laid in the grave, and how after three
days he had come forth triumphant,
and had ascended again to heaven, and
| that there he ever lives to make inter-
cession for them, for us, and for all the
world and that through his merit
every one of them there might receive
remission of sins and eternal life, i told
them had finished my story, and they
might stone me now. ''But, no they
did not want to stone me now; they
had not known what wonderful story
l had come there to tell them. They
came forward and bought Scriptures,
and Gospels, and tracts, and paid the
money for them; for they wanted to
know more of the wonderful Saviour

1t Makes it all Wrong.

Please, father, is it wrong to go pleas
uring on the Lords day? My teacher
says it is.
Why, child, perhaps it is not exactly
right"
g Then it is wrong, is it not, father
90, l don't quite know that; If it is
only once in a while"
" Father, you know how fond am of
sums? 2"
" Yes, John, I'm glad you are; L
want you to do them rel, and be quick
and clever at figures; but why do you
talk of sums just now?
" Because, father, if there's one little
figure put wrong in sum, IL makes it
all eoron9, however large the amount
is"
g To be sure, child, it does"
"Then please, father, don't yoV think
if Gods day is put wrong, now and then,
it makes it all 1rongp'
/" Put wrong, child-how ?"
f" L mean, father, put to wrong.use,D
"That brings it very close" said the
father as if speaking to himself; and
then added, John it is wrong to break
Gods holy Sabbath. He has forbidden
it and your teacher was quite right"
Remember the Sabbath day to keep
it holy"

Benevolent Mr.. wixham.


A Il a meeting of the Detroit Ladies
n Benevolent Society, held the other
day, it was resolved that committee of
four ladies' be appointed to canvass for
donations, and in the course of their
perambulations this committee dropped
into Mr.. Wixham's Office. He received
them as gentleman should and after
the usual formalities one of them be-
gan:
"Mr. Wixham, we are asking aid for
benevolent purposes"
"Ah, yes. Benevolence is bump
which should be cultivated. Are you
looking after poor folks ?'
We are"
Very proper-very proper. You've
all got children of your own ?"
"Oh, yes.''
g All of them are well fed, we'll cloth
ed and well cared for, are they ?"
Yes, sir.'
That's very proper L presume their
stockings are properly darned, buttons
in their places, and they say their
prayers when they go to bed? Tell me
if 1 am correct ?''
The women looked at each other in a
sheepish way, and then at him, and one
of them said:
We shall be thankful for any contri-
button"
g Yes'm, yes'm You don I want this
contribution for your own families, do
you 70
"No, sir!" answered four voices in
chorus.
"Well, I'M somewhat inclined to ben
evidence. Hardly day passes that l
don't do something for charity. Here's
an old account against Mr.. b. L know
he's hard up and having close time to
get along, and yesterday Cancelled the
debt"
One of the canvassers turned red,
white and blue, and looked out of the
window. That was her husband, but
Wixham did not know it.
And yesterday found a poor, ,forlorn
looking little boy out here crying with
huhSOl anu Colu' Ile sdlu HIS HuIle
was Tommy --, and he lived at So
street. He hadn't been washed or comb
ed for week, and L felt sad for him.
/ was going to take him home and feed
him but he slipped away"
Another woman suddenly looked out
of the window, and her pulse ran up to
one hundred and twenty minute, but
Wixham was as innocent as lamb of
any knowledge that it was her boy.
''Then you won't aid US ?" queried
the spokeswoman.
"Oh, yes, certainly l will. l was
simply figuring to see how much 1
could spare. ] signed note with Mr..
G. last Fall, and l had to pay it yester-
day. That makes me feel rather poor"
The third woman didn't turn red, but
green, but Wixham couldn't have pos
sibly known that it was her husband,
you know.
Lets see. I want to give you all 1
can spare. Mr.. d. on street, owes
me four months house rent, and III
give you an order on him for about
twenty dollars"
The four women rose up. They rush
ed in a solid body for the door. They
went out in heap. Some were red and
some were pale, and all were mad
They tried to speak, but they couldn't,
and as they fastened to get away from
each other, Wixham held up the half
written order and gasped;
" How very, very singular! Perhaps
they thought they couldn't collect the
money"

At 10 o'clock Col. Geo. Clark of Chicago
spoke for more than an hour regarding his

The Grand Trunk.

Advices from Montreal state that there is a
belief upon the part Of the offici ais of the
Grand Trunk that there is little prospect of
termination Of the war of rates in the United
States until the fall. Mr.. Hickson sailed on
the steamship Sandman Saturday for Liver
pool, and he left instructions that no compro.
mise is to be effected unless upon basis that
will settle freight rates as we'll as passenger.
With an independent through line of its own
to Chicago, the managers of the Grand Trunk
feel their independence,an and the policy they are
now pursuing of low rates for passengers has
turned out SO far most remunerative. AS the
Grand Trunk is acquitted of having broken its
engagements with other roads, it is determ-
ined to stand upon its dignity. The Canadian
traffic of the line both FOR goods and passen-
gers was never SO large as this season, and the
only trouble experienced is to get sufficient
rolling stock to meet the vast increase that
has occurred.

The New telegram Connanv.

The Mutual Union Telegraph Company has
line fully equipped passing from Boston
through the cities OF Providence, Hartford,
New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, with
connections to Newport, Springfield, Mass,
and elsewhere. Another line is nearly COM
pleted to Chicago, and a contract has been en-
tered into to extend the line to Kansas City
this fall. A Southern line is being construct
ed between Washington, via Wheeling, w.
Va, Cincinnati and other large cities, termi-
mating at Chicago, and to be ready for service
in ninety days. This company has made bust
ness arrangements with the Eastern Telegraph
Company which was chartered by our State
legislature last winter. The Eastern Tele-
graph Company have already secured suffic-
lent funds by the sale of stock to extend five
hundred miles Of poles and wire, from Boston
to Bangor, forming connections with all the
principal towns and cities in the State. John
G. Moor & Co., of New York city, have Sc
cured the contract for building the line, and it
is contemplated that the whole line will be
ready for business this fall. The line to Port
land, as we said yesterday, will be completed
in thirty days and fully equipped with all
modern improvements.
