The following experience Of a
mans first knowledge Of what a
Methodist is will be found interest
inc, and will fill q place in this COL
umn: lie says, we were born in a
town where there never has been a
Methodist church, and in which
during our childhood and youth
there was not. so far rs we know,
single Methodist professor-a
town where the Congregationalists
and the Baptists fed the sheep and
fought for the lambs. We heard
and read about the Methodists, but
never saw one until we went away
from home to teach school. Then
we fell into q nest Of them, there
was no mistake abort it. We nev-
er doubted it. We can never for
get the rstprayer-meeting. 1t was
not large, for it was in q country
town, but the room was full. There
we first came under Methodist fire.
We were curious to learn how they
did it, and VIC found out. 1t was a
hard place for luke-warm Christian
and q most uncomfortable place for
sinner. We then got our first
idea Of GIethodism, and it has never
left US. We saw the real thing and
fit the heat, and We have loved
them ever since.

4 Narrow Escape.

While MesSrs. J. D. Smith and Capt.
McFall were returning home from the
barbecue ut Chappells last Saturday a
very hard rain came on. Before
they reached Scots creek, the stream
had swollen very high, too high to
cross, hut they wanted to get home;
Capt. McFall got out and walked
4 log. Mr.. Smith hadn't gone half
way through the creek when the
buggy turned over on top OF him, and
the water was so swift that the horse
could not swim with the buggy, and
they were all three carried down
stream. Mr.. Smith managed to get
out safely, and when he reached the
bank he thought of his 5000 horse that
was still in the creek; the buggy
caught in willow some way and the
horse broke loose, and managed to
get out too. Mr.. Smith had no idea
that the water was as swift as it was
or he would not have tried to cross.

Novels are written to crafty the
taste Of the public, and it is per-
fectly astounding how many of
these there are which should never
have seen the light of day. They
are pernicious and evil in their in
fuence and do vast harm. We be-
lieve that it is the opinion Of all
good men and women that it were
better such books had never been
written Some of these books will
do for any one to read; the infu-
ence they exert is good, we like to
read them. We advise against the
evil Of letting the mind be taken
up entirely with the book which is
being read, there is no question of
doubt as to the injuriousness Of
such course. A little light read,
ing of an interesting book relieves
the mind after labor; it is soothing
and helpful. We have just had
the pleasure of reading one of Geo.
Macdonald's works-'Donal Grant
1t is book which will benefit the
reader instead of doing him harm,
and will interest him from begin
ming to a chapter or two before the
end, which we confess is anything
but satisfying. We never could
see the taste or the necessity OF
precipitating a violent fever, or q
galloping consumption on charm
ing and intelligent heroine, or break
ing the neck ofa noble fellow, whom
you have followed with admiration
through two hundred pages of letter
press, and who you would infinitely
prefer seeing marry and transmit 9
noble progeny. But every writer
does not see with our eyes-unfor
tunately, or many a beautiful girl, OF
fine specimen Of q man, would to
day be alive-in books-insteaC
Of lying enveloped in the mouldy
earth. We find this fault with Don
al Grant.

The following paragraph gives
valuable Information, and We adj
wise its careful perusal, and its OBJ
seryance:
In BraYado a young man placed
the muzzle of gun under the wa
ter and fired the charge. The Ie-
suit was the bursting Of the barrel
near the breech and the mutilation
of the hand. Another placed and
held the muzzlc Of his piece square
against a piece Of plate window
glass, and fired the charge-powder
and bullet. The glass was shat
tered, 50 was the gun barrel. An
other instance was that Of IN cxpc-
rimenter who had heard that q can
die could be fired from the barrel Of
q gun throu5h an inch board. He
drove q candle into the muzzle OF
his gun, fired, and the explosion
split the barrel almost its entire
length. and did not even drive the
candle from the muzzle. Still an
other burst of a gun barrel was
caused by the use of wet grass for
q wad. we'll rammed over q charge Ct
shot.-Sciedtiifc American.
We would like to have Mr.. L. l..
Whites opinion as to shooting a
candle through a plank from a gun.
We believe that he says it can be
done.

What We See, and What We Would
Like To See.
"By the Old One"

What mistaken idea it is for
children to think that they know
more than their parents, and unfor
tunately they don't discover the er-
.ror until it is too late. When they
too become parents, and are blessed
with children who are wiser than
they are, the scales fall from their
eyes and they see that they
are as ignorant rs their unfor-
tunate progenitors wera-that is
in the eyes Of their children. We
never see one Of these smart young
people but our heart bleeds for
them-for they are in errors dark
and clouded way, and moreover
they sin, in that t-ey forget the
commandment Honor thy father
and thy mother, that thy days may
be long in the land, which the Lord
thy God giveth thee" Children,
your fathers and mothers may not
be as acc emphasized as you are, 50
far as the polite accomplishments of
the day 90, but they are infinitely
wiser in experience, and know bet
ter what is good for you than you
yourselves. We love to see obedi-
ent. tractable, gentle children who
value the opinions of father and
mother as pearls beyond value, but
when we see one of the other stripe
then we think they are in the road
to ruin. Children obey your par
cnts.

Last year we lamented the abb
sence Of fruit and during the long
winter the mourning continued,
because our closets and our cup
boards groaned not in aplcnitude of
cans and jaws of delicious peach,
pear, plum and grape preserves. The
good housewife could not set be.
fore her guests the fruits of her
handiwork, AMI the children cried
in vain for the goodies which
used to be spread on their bread.
Nature in her prodigality has
smiled on us this summer, fruit of
all kinds is plentiful, and it will be
wise for the good wife to lay in a
large store out Of the great abun
dance. Cans and jars are cheap,
and in the absence OF these gather
up all the wide-mouthed bottles to
be found and preserve all the fruit
You can. Do this and your winter
will be passed in street peace.
