Lebanon COunly's Wild Girl.

We lave been Informed thai on th'
northern slope ofSouthMountain, inMill
creek township, Lebanon county, Pa,
lives a family, among whom is q cir
resembling a wild woman, and who il
kept more like u beast than Il human
being. The family consists of but three
in question. They occupy an old log
hut, which is nearly ready to tumble
down. The girls mother died when sht
was child, and the poor creature has
had no one to train her. Her mind
has always been weak, and she was
neglected entirely in every way.
She has not been inside school room
in all her life; she cannot read or
write. She is very shy Of strangers.
When she sees a person approaching
her she disappears in the bushes and
rocks on the mountain. In the spring,
il is said, her father compels her to g
ont ON the hill with flock of turkeys,
which she has SO trained that they fol-
low her through the thiokets and woods
from morning until night.
Kind neighbors have several times
attempted to catch the girl when she
was out with the turkeys and care for
her, but all to no purpose. She runs at
the sight Of II person and disappears,
with the fowls at her heels. Wheat
bread, the neighbors say, is unknown
to the creature; that her rincipal diet
was corn dodgers and Il sort of paste
made of dried rye flour Her father
generally acts in the capacity Of cook
and baker. Her dress consists Of Old
rags, which are tied about her body.
Some time ago on" of the neighbors
took compassion on her and made II
new calico dress, which was probably
the only one the girl has worn for scv-
cral years. Headwear and shoes are
unknown to her in her rambles through
the rough woods and mountain. She
has long auburn hair, which she wears
hangings over her shoulders. The
household affairs of this wretched falni-
ly are said to be very primitive, there
being but one bed in the house. Stories
of the most outrageous character have
been circulated about this family. 1t
is stated by good authority that u num-
Der of citizens will call the attention Of
the proper officials to this family and
have the III after remedied.

RELIGIOUS.
ONE STEP AT A TIME.

George Manning had almost decided
to become Christian. One doubt held
him back.
GLOW am to know" he said to him
self, "that even if do begin religious
life, shall continue faithful land finally
reach heaven -
He wanted to see the whole way there
before taking the first step. While in
this state of ndecision and unhappiness
he one evening sought the house of his
favorite professor, for he was a college
student at the time, and they talked for
several hours upon the all-absorbing
topic. But the conversation ended with
out dispelling any fears or bringing
him any nearer the point Of decision.
When he was about to 90 home the
professor accompanied him to the door,
and observing how dark the night was,
prepared lantern, and handing it to
his young friend said :
"George, this little light will not
show you the whole way to your room,
but only one step at time but take
that step, and you will reach your home
in safety"
1t proved the word in season. AS
George walked securely along III the
path frightened by the little lantern, it
dispelled the last shadow Of doubt.
"Why can not trust my Heavenly
Father" he said to himself, "even if |
can't see my way clear to the end, if he
gives me light to take one step | will
trust him; do trust him.
He could hardly wait till he reached
his room to fall on his knees and thank
God for the peace and joy that filled
his soul.
Early the next morning the professor
was summoned to the door There he
found George Manning. With beaming
face he looked up to his teacher, and as
he handed him the lantern, said sig
doctor, your little lamp lighted me
all the way home last night.
