A Boys Religion.

If boy Is lover of the Lord Jesus
Christ, though lie can't lead a prayer
meeting, or be a church officer, or
preacher, he can be godly boy, in a
boys way and in boys place. He
ought not to be too solemn or too quiet
for a boy. He need not cease to be
boy because he is Christian. He
ought to run, jump, play, climb and
yell like a real boy. But in it all he
ought to show the spirit of Christ. He
ought to be free from vulgarity and
profanity. He ought to eschew to-
bacco in every form and have horror
of Intoxicating drinks. He ought to be
peaceable, gentle, merciful, gener-
Gus. He ought to take the part of
small boys against large boys. He
ought to discourage fighting. He
ought to refuse to be party to mis-
chief, to persecution, to deceit. And,
above all things, he ought now and
then to show his colors. He need not
always be interrupting a game to say
that he is Christian, but he ought not
to be ashamed to say that he refuses to
do something because it is wrong and
wicked, or because he fears God, or is
Christian. He ought to take no part
in the ridicule of sacred things, but
meet the ridicule of others with bold
statement that for the things of God he
feels the deepest everence.-Royal

A Plucky Boy.

Professor Mather of Yale has his
family at North Stonington for the
summer. Among them is bright lit
tie boy, only eleven years of age. Mon
day afternoon he was the only occupant
of the mail coach as it pulled up at the
postoffice to make its delivery. The
driver leaped off and carried the pouches
in, and the horses were left unattended.
AT that moment bicyclist shot by with
such velocity as to startle the animals,
and in moment they were off at
break-neck pace, going out of the vii
lage. The great vehicle rocked from
side to side, and for the moment SUI
preme excitement reigned among the
villagers, who could see the white-faced
boy as it flew by. He made no cutlery.
The horses had run about half mile,
when the little fellow was seen crawl
ing out of the door of the stage to the
box of the vehicle. 1t was perilous
act, and had he fallen he would very
likely have been crushed under the fly-
ing wheels. AS soon as he secured his
position on the box he grasped the
reins, and, bracing himself, succeeded
in pulling on the bits so hard that the
horses were finally conquered. 1t was
hard fight, however, and the team
was nearly mile from the village be-
fore he succeeded in his undertaking.

The Lone Star Leading.

A correspondent of the Chicago Iri-

prohibition movement in that state was
born of urgent necessity for the sup

The authority of the executive gone,
tried the experiment of prohibition
with phenomenal success. AT the
second term of court succeeding the
victory of local option the grand jury
adjourned without returning any in

like an arrow through the air, but has

is safe to say that the Texas prohibi-

A New Temperance Organization.

Pennsylvania has new temperance
organization called the Gospel Temper
ance Union, which has for its object
the systematic agitation of the liquor
question, and with it the education of
the people on the subject, so that when
an appeal to the legislature is made
there will be a public sentiment to
sustain it. The union believes in legis-
lation, but believes also that before
legislation can be effective it must have
the favor of the people. The platform
of the union sets forth the evils of
intemperance, the opinion that kind
ness is the best means of winning
the Incorporate from their ways, the
belief that moral reforms depend pri-
marily on intelligent convictions, and
to that end the union will establish
reading-rooms and hold meetings to
discuss the liquor evil and take pledges
against it.

Pass IL On.

When the Rev. Mark Guy Pearse was
about fourteen years old, having been
in school in Germany, he came to
London, on his way to the beautiful
wilds of Cornwall" his home. He
stayed in London long enough to spend
all his money, except sufficient to pay
his fare home. He travelled by train to
Bristol-the rail only went as far then.
He went on board the vessel to carry
him home, and thought when he had
paid the money for his passage that
that included all. He was very hungry,
and ordered his meals that day. AT the
end of the journey, dapper little stew

came to him and presented him his bill.
He told him he had no money. Then"
said he, "you should not have ordered
the things you did" He asked him his
name. He told him. He took him by
the hand, shut up his book and said,
never thought that l should live to
see you" Then he told him how,
when he had lost his father, his mother
was in great distress, and the lads
father had been so kind to her that he
made solemn promise that, if he ever
had the opportunity, he would show
kindness to one of his; SO he took
charge of him, paid his bills, gave him
five shillings, and put him into boat
with some sailors, who rowed him in
fine style to the shore. His father met
him, and he said: " Father, it is good
thing to have good father ~ and he
told him of what had taken place. "My
lad," said he, . passed the kindness
on to him long ago, in doing what did,
and now he has passed it on to you.
Mind, as you grow up, you pass it on to
Others" Well, one day he was going
by train, and intended to take first
class ticket, as he had deal of writing
to do in the train, when he saw a lad at
the third-class ticket-ofiice, rubbing his
eyes to keep down the tears. He asked
him what his trouble was, and the lad
told him he had not enough money for
his fare by four-pence, and he wanted so
to go, as his friends were expecting him.
He gave him shilling, and the lad
went, for his ticket and brought him the
change. He told him to keep it, and
said he was going to ride with him.
Then in the carriage he told the lad the
story of how he was treated in the boat.
And now," he said, 81 want you, if
ever you have the opportunity, to pass
it on to Others" He got out at the
junction, and as the train left the sta
ton the lad waved his handkerchief
and said, 60 l will pass it on."-Old

erdrawn statement, but it has often

A Needless Curse.

The secure elimination from the life
of the individual or of the family of
an element which has undeniably
brought untold misery into so many
thousands of lives, and of which the
misery spreads in overwhelming circles
from the guilty to far greater numbers
of the innocent-the secure elimina,
ton from society of that which all ad.
NIT to be fertile of disease, insanity
and crime-would, l believe, elevate
the race and increase its happiness to
an almost inconceivable degree. Sin
is the worst curse of mankind, and in,
temperance is the one sin, at once very
common and very fatal, which is abso
lutely and easily preventable. 1t is the
one curse of humanity of which we
might absolutely cut off the entail Al
present it is the scourge of nations.-

What treasures lie when hope is high
Along your shining way.
What promises fulfilled.
What better deeds to do
Than ever yet, are softly set
Beneath your skies of blue.

Above what we have won,
To higher needs and finer deeds
That we have left undone.
