A Surnliced RenOrter.

"You know Joe Howard, of couse ?"
asked the reporter.
"Joe! Joe! Do you know man in
the profession in the United States who
does not know Joe?"
Gay boy?"
Gay? Well, seriously, Joe is one
of the most brilliant of American
journalists. Queer, generous to a
fault, and always conscientious, but
ready, versatile, and ever entertaining
George Alfred Townsend's only rival.
No, Joe wants one fact on which to
base an article; George does not want
any. Joe never gets left.
"Once the Times sent him to report
an important ceremony in Trinity
Church. Joe was late. The house was
jammed. The boys in the two pews
allotted to the reporters had noticed
the absence of the representatives of
the Times. But suddenly one nudged
another, saying, Look up there And
there was Joe in the chancel with the
clergy, surpliced, and informing with the
rest.
Joe afterward explained that, find
ing it impossible to get in the house and
do his work, he looked around and
found rear door, and seeing men
lodging in and boys throwing surplice
over their shoulders, he followed suit,
and let them supply him with the vest
ment cloth. He was thus able to make
his report. y Chicago Daily Nelos.

Irving Ia ssMash, n Deaf Mute.

The train sped over the track at the
rate of forty miles an hour, but some
how each hour had sixty minutes in it,
just as usual, and time hung heavy on
his soul. He was Harvard student
bound for Boston on the Old Colony
railroad. Presently, at one of the way
stations, pretty young lady entered
the car and sat down near the delighted
student. Instantly he was wide awake,
and devoted all his energies to engag-
ing the admiring attention of the fair
one. First he pushed the blind up and
down noisily in order to attract her at
tention. Thinking he had secured
this, he opened morning paper, and,
reclining gracefully, pretended to read.
In reality he stared steadily ut his
charmer, and whenever she CHANGED to
raise her eyes she found the student
looking at her. Their eyes met; he
poured his whole soul into one be-
wildering, captivating glance; she
blushed slightly and turned nervously
in her seat, but in that delicious in
slant when he gazed into the limpid
depths Of her blue eyes he fancied he
saw there the reciprocation of his own
interest. With increasing confidence
his attitude became more imposing and
beautiful, and when the train reached
Boston he considered his conquest as
sured. But in the meantime the whole
carfull had Caught on to the students
scheme, and one of the passengers who
knew the young lady passed around the
word that fun was coming SO when
theparty stepped on the platform the
student proceeded in the presence of a
large and interesting audience. Step
ping elegantly up to the pretty girl,
he said briskly;
IL beg your pardon, but 1 am sure
we must have met before. Did / not
have the pleasure of seeing you at
Judge Smiths reception last week?
May assist you with the bundle? Fine
day, is it not? ?"
But the maiden walked demurely on,
never so much as blushing or turning
her head. Taken somewhat by sur
prise, the would-be masher hesitated,
stammered, but continued: II thought
possibly you might remember my face;
am sure l have seen you before. We
had very enjoyable time at the ball
last eve, didn't we?"
AS the same result was experienced
from this attempt, he boldly stepped in
front of her and, raising his hat, began:
II beg your pardon, Miss-'but he
stopped suddenly; she was looking
pityingly at him and making signs to
him in the deaf and dumb alphabet.
"Oh, holy cuspidor! if that isn't
another piece of Harvard luck" he
gasped, and bolted for horse-car. The
story leaked out, and now you can tell
that student by the appearance of sup
pressed profanity that steals over his
face when any one happens to twist his
fingers or move his hand in an unusual
Way.

Dancing Denounced.

Not few Christians are continually
asking the question: what harm is
there in dancing? read in the Bible
OF people dancing who were good
people. What harm can it be?" be-
lieve il is great evil, and is doing
more to demoralize church and society
than the Christian mothers who are
training their children for the BALI
room have any idea, and, while seeno
reason why Christians should engage I'D
dancing, / see many why they should
not.
l. It is nowhere commended in the
Bible.
2. Although engaged in by men and
women of God at times and under the
old dispensation, 1t was never sought as
pleasure as now, but was one of the
ways they praised God in the time of
victory.
3. The sexes did not dance together
as now.
A. The New Testament tells of but
one case of dancing, and that in
purpose is more like the dancing nova
days than any other dancing in the
whole Bible. This dancing, which was
engaged in by the daughter of one
OF the wicked women of the Roman
empire, resulted in the death Of John
the Baptist.
8. Dancing is not done in the name
of the Lord. Paul says do all things
in the name of the Lord.
&. Dancing is reveling. and Paul says
they who do such things shall not in
herit the Kingdom.
Z. 1t is heathenistic. The less of
civilization nation has, the more of
dancing
8. 1t leads to expensive and gorgeous
dress.
8. 1t units the mind for reflection.
10. 1t leads to the violation of the
laws of health, among which is the
great loss of sleep and too much exer-
else.
ii. 1t keeps people up all night who
are too delicate to sit up with the sick
or dying for one hour.
IL. The ministers of the gospel can
not engage in it without doing serious
damage to the religion of Christ.
ID. Our Savior did not dance.
IA. The apostles and early Christians
ulu noJ dance.
Is. Dancing is of ill-repute.
Is No one dying sends for dancing
master to comfort him.
IT, No good dancer wants it placed
on his tombstone when dead that "he
was an expert dancer"
Is. No one dances in memory of n
departed friend
10. 1t creates or fosters love for the
fatal cup.
20. 1t tolerates freedom between
the sexes, both immodest and often re-
sulting perniciously.
81. Hundreds Of blasted characters
can date the first step of their ruin to
their first visit to the ballroom.
%. 1t creates jealousy between man
and wife, between lover and lover.
%. 1t requires no brains to be
dancing master.
"a. 1t weakens a person morally.
%. 1t weakens his influence for good.
26. 1t is useless art.
81. No Christian can attend balls and
keep unspotted from the world.
%. We cannot let our light shine at
the ballroom.
90 Dancing is not healthful exer-
else.
80. We are to glorify God in our
bodies and spirits. Can we do it by
dancing REQ. ID. H. wilkins, of

Savings For Old Age.

No one denies that it is wise to make
provision for old age, but we are not all
agreed as to the kind of provision it is
best to lay in. Certainly we shall want
little money, for destitute old man
is, indeed a sorry sight; yes, save
money, by all means. But an old man
just needs that particular kind of
strength which young men are most apt
to waste. Many foolish young fell
low will throw away on a holiday GER
tain amount of nervous energy which
he will never feel the want of until he
Is 70 and then how much he will want
it 1t is curious, but true, that q bot
tie of champagne at 20 will intensity
the rheumatism of three-score. 1t is a
fact that overtaxing the eyes at IA may
necessitate the aid of. spectacles at 40
instead of 60. We advise young read
ers to be saving of health for their old
age, for the maxim holds in regard TO
health as to monev-"Waste not, want
not" 1t is the greatest mistake to sup
pose that violation of the laws of health
can escape its penalty. Nature for
gives no sin, no error; she lets off the
offender for fifty years sometimes, but
she catches him at last, and inficts the
punishment just when, just where, and
Just how he feels it most. Save up for
old age, but save knowledge; save the
recollection of good and noble deeds,
innocent pleasures, and pure thoughts /:
save friends, save love. Save rich
stores of that kind of wealth which
time cannot diminish nor death take
away

Home and Its Influences.

Obi the music in that word home. It
brings back to us q sweet strain from
the heart of our memory. To the
young it is a reminder of all that is
near and dear to them. Our noblest,
best men, the leading men of our
nation, derived the elements of their
character from maternal care bestowed
upon them in childhood. Who molds
our characters while we are yet young?
Certainly our mother does. There is
no influence so powerful as hers upon
the rising generation. She who shapes
the characters of our great and good
men, to her it also falls to train those
who are to be mothers when she is no
more, and to do for this generation
what she has done for hers. -Detroit

Sam Paich's Death.

The business or industry of going
over waterfalls and maelstroms was
started in this country many years ago
by supplemented fellow named
Samuel Patch, who lived at Pawtucket,
II. 1. While at work on the roof of a
high building that stood beside the
Blackstone. river, at the head of the
Pawtuckete falls, Patch slipped, and.
seeing that he must go, jumped with all
his might into the raging torrent. A
few moments later he landed safely
some distance below the cataract. There
was deal of talk about the exploit,
then deemed a marvel, and Patch took
it into his head that jumping falls
would be a paying business. He tried
it successfully in many places, but tried
it once too often. An old ballad saws
Twas at the falls of Genessce
That Sam made his last dive;
Headlong he plunged into the flood
And ne'er come out alive
But tradition records that Sam had
partaken too freely of his favorite bev-
erage, rum, before essaying the fatal
leap, and that the responsibility of his
failure belongs not to water, but to the
popular stimulant which he so much
affected The mother of Samuel Patch
survived him many years, living at Paw
tucket in respectable widowhood, and
often relating to visitors the story of her
sons strange career.
