Billy offered no resistance, but was fair

that Garry was leading him As they
walked along. Garry related to him what

pulled the bell knob at the doctors resi-

He cautiously opened the door. How
pleasant it was within. A bright fire was
burning on the hearth. Timidly the bows
entered the room. and then hurried to the
fire. Against one side of the room sat a
new portable bed. mattress and bedding
These the doctor had purchased on his way
back to the office. Opposite the fire was
big chair, the sides of which were thick.

placed his feet on the screen round the
fire Garry drew another chair up. and

Back of his Office were two rooms of

physician used as workshop and bed
room. and the other as spare or store
room. Into the spare room he carried the
purchase OF the evening. and setting it in

then reused the boys from their peaceful
slumbers. Billy seemed to take in the

Garry looked sheepish.

The Bench and Bar.

Mr.. James first gives Lord Broug-
hams definition OF lawyer as "a
learned gentleman who rescues your
estate from your enemies and keeps it
to himself, and then goes on to recall
an old story of Lord Avonmore, who
had fallen into the bad habit of inter-
rupting counsel. Thus Curran was
often stopped short in his argument by
his lOrdship, who would say: ''Mr.
Curran, l know your clevcrness, but
it's quite in vain for you to go on; 1
see the drift of it all. and you are only
giving yourself and me unnecessary
trouble" One day Curran, being too
often stopped in this way, thus adj

cumstance that my imagination has
not yet recovered from the shock"
The Judge was all attention: go on,
Mr.. Curran." ION my way to court,
my lord, as l passed by one of the
markets, l observed butcher pro-
ceeding to slaughter calf. just as his
hand was raised, lovely little child
approached him unperceived, and, ter
rible to relate-I see the life blood
gushing out still-the poor child's
bosom was under the butchers hand,
when he plunged the knife into-into

Judge with great emotion. "Your

Judge Wiles once sentenced a boy
at Lancaster to be hanged, with the
hope of reforming him by frightening
him, and he ordered him for execution
next morning. The judge awoke in
the middle of the night, and was so af-
fected by the notion that he might him
self die in the course of the night, and
the boy be hanged, though he did mean
that he should suffer, that he got off
his bed and went to the lodgings of the
high sheriff and left reprieve for the
boy or what was to be considered
equivalent to it, and then, returning to
his bed, spent the rest of the night very
comfortably.

In Hard Luck.

William Mcclellan Is q man who may
truly be said to be born to bad luck.
When but year old cataract grew
over his left eye and destroyed its
sight entirely. As he grew to man.
hood his hearing gradually failed until
ut last he became entirely deaf and on
Wednesday afternoon, while he was
standing at the corner of avenue A and
Fifth street he was struck in the right
eye by ball of CONCEALED snow, which.
he says, was maliciously thrown by one
of the men on passing snow-plow,
and the sight of that eye has been
temporarily and perhaps permanently
destroyed.
He was found last evening by World
reporter at No. 81 Elizabeth street,
where he is stopping at the home of u
friend. As 1t was impossible to make
him hear word, and as he was stone
blind and could not read written
question, interviewing him was found
to be work of some difficulty. AS
Mr.. Mcclellan Is quite an intelligent
man, however, he was ut last made to
understand. by the placing of pencil
and notebook in his hand, and by
touching his eyes, what was wanted,
and he then, in well-chosen language,
ave the history Of his life, saying:
"When l was year old lost the
sight of my left eye by cataract. 1
came to this country with my father
when l was about Is years old, and by
working at the trade of basket-making
l have managed to support myself
tolerably well. was standing on the
corner of avenue A and Fifth street. on
Wednesday, when saw the snow-plow
or sweeper coming along, and saw the
man on it snow-balling the people as
they went by, and saw a man make up
ball of snow in his hand and throw It
at me. 1t struck my eye with great
force. completely destroying the sight.
The mass seemed as hard as ice."
A woman who was present said the
police would do nothing toward finding
the man who had thrown the snow
ball, and added that for some time to
come Mcclellan is likely to be deprived

A Southern Darkey's Prayer.

Zone of the most remarkable and
original prayers i ever heard" said
gentleman to Herald reporter
recantly, twas justrafter the war closed
and was taking a run down through
Georgia in hopes of finding desirable
cotton plantation. One bright sum-
mer night found me at the cabin of an
old negro, who had once been slave
but who located on the old plantation
after the war and was his own master.
He gladly welcomed me to his humble
abode, and to such bed and board as
he could provide.
''Supper over, and a most excellent
one, too, the old man RECALLED me with
stories of plantation life until his son,
u good chunk of q boy, came home
from neighbours. Before retiring the
old man asked me to read chapter in
the bible, when he would pray. He
said he couldn't read but he was pow
erful in exhortin' and prayer. After
reading chapter from Job and part of
a psalm, we knelt down and the old
man let his soul flow out to God. Even
in the uncouth language of the old
slave every word was sublime, and
seemed as coming from one inspired.
l remember one passage remarkable
for its beauty and unapproachable as
a figure. Said he: IF had de wings
OBJ u dove, I'd mount de golden steps
to de New Jerusalem, an dip my fin
gers in dc blood of de Lamb and write
de word Redemption on de blue vault
of heaven" He prayed for the Presi-
dent of the United States, all his cabi-
net, the army, the navy, the Governors
of all the states, for me his guest, for
his neighbors, for absent children, for
himself and family. He asked forgive
ness for many sins and thanked the
Lord for many blessings.
''Well, began to get tired. l had
rested my knees the best l could, but 1
wanted to sit up badly, and at the
same time did not want to give offense
to my kind host. The boy reclined
next to me with his head in chair
sound asleep. Touching him gently, l
whispered: about how soon will your
father get through" "Hcs he got to
de place where Moses crossed de Red
SeaP" Being assured that said point
had not yet been reached, the boy
yawned and continued:"W when he
gifts to whar Moses crossed de Red Sea
he's jist half DONE" and he reapsed
into Inconsistencies. "-Davtoa: Herald.

A PROSPEROUS WEEKLY.

The Detroit Commercial Adver-
tiser makes its appearance among our
exchanges with unvarying regularity,
and is the most welcome weekly
that visits our sanLtum. The large
amount of reading matter found in its
fitty-six columns is this week rendered
more attractive by its excellent typo
graphical appearance, due in a great
measure to the fact that an entire
outfit of new type has just supplanted
the former dress, though that was far
from being worn out. This evidence
of energy on the part of its publisher.
added to his recent enlargement the
journal from q 48 to sc column
paper. satisfactorily attests the fnan-
cial prosperity which attends the en-
terprising management that has mark
ed the successful career of this we'll
known home journal. Never before
has this old and always welcome
visitor to Michigan firesides been so
ably edited, or its business manage
ment so careful and thorough as now.
1t has well merited its success and
prosperity. AS to the conteuts of its
pages, they consist of a great variety
OF subjects such as go to make up
first-class general newspaper. Taken
all in all, we unhesitatingly commend
the Detroit Commercial Advertiser to
our readers and say, that after this
there own local paper, we know of no
other that will prove SO acceptable as
this old established Detroit weekly.
The publisher will cheerfully forward
a sample copy free to any one sending
to him, and none should hesitate to
avail ofthemselves this offer by address
