opened the door he rubbed his hands

A Musnular Christian.

A company OF roughs were once dis
turbing q acamp-meeting, when o sta,wart
Methodist minister, coming forward on
the preachers stand, said, in the quietest
of tones,-
"My friends wish 10 inform you
that number of our brethren are, un-
fortunately, but imperfectly sanctitied.
II. by reason of your disturbances, the
Old Adam should get the better of
them, there will be such q casting out
of devils as you never saw. and you will
get punishment that will teach you to
behave yourselves when you are where
God is worshipped."
The minister smiled blandly when he
went back to his seat amid chorus of
'.Amens," and there was no further an-
noyance from those lewd fellows.
One of this sort of muscular chris
tians'' was Timothy Thomas, a Welsh
preacher and a gentleman of fortune.
Once, when travelling with his wife, he
was attacked by four roughs, who had
been enraged by his sermons.
With his single stick, he knocked
down two of the ruffians. but broke it
in the act. Rushing to the wayside
hedge, he tore up stake and ran back
to find the scoundrels fleeing for their
lives.
Mr.. Thomas was Il Baptist, and by
appointment was expected TO admins
ter the ordinance of baptism in the
stream of district in which he was not
generally known. A mob had assem-
bled to boot the candidates and insult
the minister. Suddenly, well-dressed
gentleman, mounted ON u noble horse,
rode over the bridge. Alighting and
giving his bride to a bystander, he
walked briskly to the bank of the
stream. Taking the nearest candidate
by the hand. he walked into the water,
booted and spurred as he was. and
there baptized him.
Before the gaping mob had recovered
from their amazement at seeing a gen.
tleman administer the ordinance, he
had finished. Then, standing on the
streams brink, he preached an eloquent
sermon.
Not an insulting word was said, and
though the roughs' hands were full of
sticks and stones. not missile was
thrown. The splendid courage of the
man had conquered them. As they de-
parted, they were heard saying to each
other,-
"Well, the 'dippers' [the name then
given to Baptists have one brave gen.
tleman among them!'

The Sofa Seemed To Be a Little Uueasy

The Sofa Seemed 10 Be Little Uueasy.
A sad catastrophe took place in Coul-
terville last week, which illustrates the
baleful effects of advanced literature
upon the young. Little George Skibly
had been reading 1.-The Boy Detective,
or The Doomed Nurse" and in emula-
ton of the deeds of the hero, George
carefully disemboweled the sitting-room
sofa its stuffing and secreted himself
among the springs early on Sunday
evening last. His idea was to overhear
the dark secrets of his big sisters young
man and thereafter track him like q
''sleuth hound" which he understood
was the correct caper for detectives.
From the evidence elected by the Cor
oner's jury, the next day, it appeared
that both the big sister heretofore men,
toned, and the young man previously
referred to, had occupied one end of
said sofa the evening before, from eight
p. m. until half past one a. m., more
or less. As Georges head was directly
beneath, it was fair to suppose that he
had been smothered by said parties of
the second and third parts. The sister
testified that the sofa seemed to be o
little uneasy, as it were, but as the gas
was turned down and earthquakes had
been so frequent of late, she hadn't no
ticed it particularly. The young man
has contributed some obituary verses to
the Coulterville Gazette, and altogether
the occurrence has east q gloom over
the entire community. --S San francisco
