The Elephant and the Practical
Joker.

The Rev. Mr.. Watson gives very curl
Gus story In illustration of this animal s
wonderful long memory of wrong suf-
fered. One of those pests of society, " a
practical Joker" visited a caravan in a
west of England fair and tried his stupid
tricks upon an elephant there. He first
doled out to it, one by one, some ginger
bread nuts and when the grateful ami
NAL was thrown off its guard, he sudden
ly profered it large parcel wrapped in
paper. The unsuspicious creature &C
copied and swallowed the lump, but i'm
mediately began to exhibit signs of in
tense suffering, and snatchingu up buck
ct, handed it to the keeper for water
This being given to it, it eagerly swallow
ed quantities of the fluid. Hal cried
the delighted joker, guess those nuts
were trihe hot, old fellow" You had
better be off, exclaimed the keeper,
unless you wish the bucket at your
head" The fool took the hint Just in
time, for the enraged animal having
finished the sixth bucketful, hurled the
bucket after its tormentor with such force
that had he fingered moment longer
his life might have been forfeited.
The affair had not, however, yet con-
Guided. The following year the show re-
visited the same town, and the foolish
joker, like men Of his genus, unable to
profit by experience, thought to repeat
his stupid trick on the elephant. He took
two lots of nuts into the show with him
sweet nuts in the one pocket and hot in
the other. The elephant had not forgot
ten the jest played upon him, and there
fore accepted the cakes very cautiously
At last the joker profered hot one, but
no sooner had the injured creature dis
covered its pungency than it seized hold
of its prosecutor by the coat-tails, hoisted
him up by them, and held him until they
gave away, when he fell to the ground
The elephant now inspected the severed
coat-tails, which, after he had discovered
and eaten all the sweet nuts, he tore to
rags and flung them after their discom-
flied owner Chan16erS's Journal.

home the mother noticed the child had
been unusually silent for time, and all
at once she stood still and as if with a
determined effort spoke thus: Mama
then a pause" prayed last night,
mama. did you, dear; don't you al
ways pray? p " Oh, yes, but l prayed a
real prayer last night. 1 don't think 1
ever prayed real prayer before
Then the mother gradually drew from
her the following: was lying awake
last night such long time, and was
thinking how sinful 1 was. l thought of
what naughty girl had been so often.
tried to reckon up all the bad things
had done, and they seemed such lot
that | tried to remember all l had done
in one week, and there seemed such a
heap piled up, and then l was sure had
not remembered them all. This made
me so miserable, and l thought, What if
Jesus had come for me when l was i'll ?
l was sure l could nothave gone to heav-
en-.
"Then thought about Jesus coming
to die for bad people, and that He had
promised to forgive them; so got out Of
bed and knelt down and tried to tell
Jesus how bad l was, and that l could
not remember all the sins of even one
week, so 1 just asked Him to think of
them all for me, every one, and then l
waited to give Him time to think, and
when 1 thought he had remembered them
all, l asked Him to forgive them, and 1
am sure He did, mama, because He said
he would, and 1 felt SO happy. Then I
got into bed, and did not feel bit afraid
of God any more"
That this true incident may encour-
age other little weary ones to take their
burden of sin to Jesus as Nelly did, is
the earnest prayer of NELLY's FRIEND.

Obedience to Christ.

Whatsoever he saith unto you do it,
John ii 5.
How are you to know what he says to
really willing to know, and willing to
obey when we do know He has spoken
so plainly to us in his word In that he
tells us-tells even little children-ex-
actly what to do. 1t is most wonderful
how he has said everything there for us
told US everything we ought to do.
When you read chapter or hear one
read, listen and watch to see what he
saith unto yob in it.
There is another way in which he tells
us what to do. Do you not hear a little
voice inside that always tells you to do
the right thing and net to do the wrong
thing That is conscience, and he speaks
to you by it.
Another way is by those whom he has
set over you. He has told you, once for
all, to obey your parents, and to obey
them that have the rule over you" So,
when they tell you to do something, it is
the Lord Jesus himself that you have to
obey in obeying them.
Now, whatsoever he saith unto you
do it. Yes, whatsoever, dear little
one, whether easy or hard, do it because
he tells you do it for love Of him, and it
will be a thousand times better and hap
pier to obey your King than to please
yourself And he himself will help you
to do it only look up to him for grace to
obey and he will give it.
" Whatsoever he said unto you do it.
Do not Just think about doing it, or talk
about doing it, but do it. do IT," Dc
the exact thing he would have you do
not something a little bit different, OF

something which you think will be very
nearly the same, but do it"
And "do it" at once. 1t is so true
that the very first moment is the easiest
for obedience" Every minute that you
put off doing the right thing makes it
harder. Do not let your King have to
"speak twice" to you. Whatsoever he
saith unto you do it, cheerfully, exactly
and instantly.
Je-us, help me, am weak
Let me put my trust in thee;
Teach me how and what to speak
Loving Saviour, care for me.
Dear Saviour, hear me
Hear little child to-day
Hear, oh, hear me!
Hear me when l pray"

The GREAT FLooDs IN EUROPE. The re-
cent floods in Germany and Austria have been
of far greater violence and extent than mea-
ger cable dspatches would indicate. The
snow upon the Alps began melting fast soon
after Christmas, heavy rain-storm set in,
and news came that the head wateFs of Main,
the Danube, the Rhine, the Inn, the Nistula
and Oder the Elbe, Thesis and Weser were
rising dangerously. Soon the land bordering
upon these rivers was under water for miles !;
in Bohemia and Upper and Lower Austria the
torrents devastated the country great ava
lanches blocked the railroads in Styria and
the Danube, fed by its several tributaries,
crashed through the dikes and swept away
the bridges, inundating hundreds OF villages
upon its banks. The immensity of the Dan
ube food can easily be realized when it is
known that the river rose 800 oentimeters
above ita normal level at Vienna, 6Gs at Pesth
and G7S at Presburg. Near Linz and Pesth
rs, 900 acres of cultivated land are still under
water, and in many places herds of wild deer,
roebuck and smaller game have been driven
to the towns like cattle before u pfairie fire.
In the Rhine provinces of Germany the de-
vastation has been even more frightful. The
great plain between Worms and Mannheim is
buried under 10 feet of water in the Reid
district near the former town ~ villages are
destroyed and III, 900 persons destitute. Main2
is threatened, the railroads at Heidelberg are
destroyed, and in many other places the dams
have been swept away and the fields aud vii
lagos laid waste. Cologne and the adjacent
region is suffering fearfully, houses have fall
en- by the score at Friesenheim and the peo.
pie everywhere are suffering for food and
shelter. How many persons have been killed
is not yet known, but the number is doubtless
large. The unframed towns of Germany and
Austria are sending supplies to the sufferers
and subscriptions are being made among the
German societies of our principal cities.

1t was a curious mixture of items that we
noticed in the Reformer of last week under
the heading of South Vernon. The mixture
was tho South Windham items with those of
the former place, It was rather amusing to
the readers of the respective towns, and it
might suggest to an unoharitable mind that
the editor had been imbibing rather too free
ly of unlicensed spirits, so that material things
assumed a shapeless and hszy mass, thereby
preventing his duly classifying the items.
But we eau hardly entertain that idea. To
other minds it might appear that the editor
vas wroth perhaps at not being able to de-
cipher a correspondents hierogyphios and
TO vent his spite went to kicking the "devil,
which of course would be a natural conse-
quenee but no doubt would create confusion,
and might lead the compositor to blend the
Eord Wipdham into Vernon. This view seems
the most charitable, and il true, we hereby
express our sympathy for the editor.
L. 3. Another idea has occurred to us
since writing the above, Perhaps it is an ad-
yertisng dodge on the part of the South
Windham merchant with consent Of parties
concerned. If so, our sympathy has been
misplaced and we will transfer it to the poor
devil who is reputed to always need that
much desired solaoe.
