Parish Fools.

By fools" we do not mean the gen.
eral class Of persons indicated by the
word, but that smaller class Of the
community commonly called parish
fools or 'naturals." Those unfor-
tunates, without being habitually or
necessarily insane, usually labor under
some hallucination, which overshad-
ows their lives, and causes them, when
under it's influence, to indulge in such
freaks and fancies as are peculiar to
the lunatic; though, when freed from
the cloud obscuring their mental Wis
ion, they act very much like their
neighbors.
Such was Sandy Macintosh, who
fourished in the beginning Of the CEN
tury. A native Of one Of the north
ern parishes of Caithness, he was as
well known for twenty miles round as
the kirk steeple The swiftest run
ner and the most trust worthy mes
senger in the place, Sandy was kept in
constant employment, and numbered
among his patrons both the laird and
the minister. The peculiar delusion
under which he labored was convic-
ton that he had been born for the ex-
press purpose of Staying his Satanic
Majesty, and many were the wild
goose chases embarked in by Sandy to
annihilate the arch enemy; for he re-
cognized him-so he ayerred-under
all shapes and forms, such as crow.
hare. or black; and when started
in pursuit of the foe, would follow up
the trail for hours, nay, sometimes for
days. In vain the minister-whom
Sandy accounted his particular friend
-strove to convince him that the
enemy of mankind was spirit, and
as such invisible. No argument, how
rever telling, had any effect no Sandy.
He listened respectfully, it is true, as
he always did, to everything, however
trivial, uttered by his friend; but
when the reverend gentleman paused
for lack Of breath, the fool invariably
remarked, with sagacious nod
"Weel, minister, We ken best; though
there's ae thing ye have overlooked
Ye Gamma deny what's written in the
guild book, The devil goes about like
a roaring lion seeking whom he may
devour., And when [ see We fechtin

neighhorhood had need of all thei

Now, the minister was in the habi

was salted, and the hide sold at tn

Be Merciful.

A crippled beggar was trying to
pick up some old clothes that had
been thrown to him from a window,
when a crowd of rude boys gathered
about him, mimicking his awkward
movements and hooting at his help
lessness and rags. Presently noble
little fellow came up, and pushing
through the crowd, helped the poor
crippled man to pick up his gifts and
place them in bundle. He was run
ming away, when voice far above
him said:
Little boy with a straw hat, look
up A lady, leaning from an upper
window, said eagerly, "God bless you,
my little fellow; God will bless you
for that
As he walked along he thought
how glad he had made his own heart
by doing good. He thought of the
poor beggar's grateful look; of the
lady's smile and her approval; and at
last, and better than all, he could al
most hear his Heavenly Whispering

THE DEATH STREAM.

Here, beneath this sheltering tree
Bring my battered harp to me
I ct me wiring one measure more,
From its widely scattered store;
Let the flying moments sing
To its sadly-tuneful ring;
Not in tales of heroes bold,
Ruined walls, or castles old,
Maiden fair, or lover true,
Do Its old chords ring anew;
From its soft and trembling strings
Yet sadder measure springs:
Soft and still the summer morning
Opes before our dreamy eyes,
While the sun-the hills adorning-
Glimmers from the misty skies.
In the branches birds are singing
Songs of hope and love divine;
In our souls glad hopes are springing
As we view the glittering shrine.
Thus full many a son in glory
Rises in life's morning light,
But is found-oh, sad the story
Fallen ere the dreamy night.
Wisdom lures in vain his senses
AS the sad years onward roll,
But cruel fate dispenses
Death unto his weary soul.
AS the sun at eve is sinking
Down the dark'ning Western sky
So the son-dread poison drinking
Thus abrupt must sink and die.
Mothers prayers and fathers pleading
Cannot stay the deadly tide
Sons and brothers, all unheeding
Plunge into the torrent wide.
While this horrid stream is flowing,
Flowing all along life's main,
Down to death pure lives are going
To death of endless pain.
Over all this stream is flying
Sounds of mortal griefs and fears,
While the hosts of angels, crying,
Wash its shores with bitter tears.
Soft the measure dies away
Now its chords have ceased to play,
While its trembling echoes fall
Family, sadly, over all;
Still its grievous burden be
Song of human misery.
Oh. wake, my harp, to sweeter songs
Happier themes than mortal wrongs,
Better, holier days to come,
When this horrid sale of rum
Be forever cast aside
And our God be glorified.
Neighbors, freemen, rally now,
With Gods love upon each brow,
Do His bidding well and He
Will assures us victory
Aid our efforts by His might,
And give us triumph for the RIGHT.
