We learned in the last lesson how Hez-
ekiah did much good work during his
reign. His kingdom was constantly men
aced by the Assyrian King because Heze-
kiah had made bold to withhold the Gus
tomary tribute to the Assyrian monarch.
In the midst of his anxiety in looking
after his people, and working reforms,
he was stricken with disease which was
thought to be fatal, and without the di-
rect interposition of the Father would
have been, Admonished by the Prophet
Isaiah to prepare for death, Hezekiah
turned away and began praying to the
Lord. That prayer was answered, and
before Isaiah got out of his presence, he
was directed to turn and inform the
stricken King that he should yet live.
Congratulations were showered upon
him, and the distant Babylonians came to
pay their respects to him. In great pride
he displayed his treasures to these visit
ors-but in the midst of his pride and
rejoiciUg, he was shocked to hear from
the Prophet the assurance that all his
treasure, and all that was in his house,
should one day be carried into captivity
by the forces of Babylon, and that his
descendants should serve in the palace of
the Babylonian King. Then the good
King Hezekiah, who had b cen so bold in
the working-of reforms, and who had
hoped for such great things for his peo-
pie, began to see the sign of coming cap
tivity for Judah, and the heart which had
been so buoyant of the restoration of life,
bowed to the decree of the Almighty
One. The fulfllment of this decree was
not in Hezekiah's time, but was not fully
completed for about one hundred and
twenty-five years This lesson shows
that the prayer of faith is answered;
that life is prolonged for wise purpose;
that God is displeased with vanity.

LESSON XI. Hezekiah's Prayer Answered
2 Kings 20, LII.

Kings ~. LII.
1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death
And the prophet Isaiah the son of Anloz came
| to him. and SAID unto him. Thus saith the Lord
| Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die
and not live.
2 Then he turred his face to the wall, and
prayed unto the Lord, saying,
1 beeseech thee, o Lord, remember now how
have walked before thee in truth and with a
perfect heart, and have done that which is good
in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone
| out into the middle court, that the word of the
| Lord came to him, saying,
Turn again, and tell HeZekiah the captain OF
my people, Thus saith the Lord, the God of
David thy father. 1 have heard thy prayer, I
have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee
on the third day thou shalt go into the house OF
the Lord.
And will add unto thy days fifteen years ;
and will deliver thee and this city out of the
hand of the king of Assyria and will defend
this city for mine own sake, and for my servant
David's sake.
And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And
they took and laid it on the boil, and he recov-
cred.
And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall
be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that
I shall go up into the house of the Lord the
third day?
And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have
of the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing that
he hath spoken shall the shadow go forward
ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
10 And Hezekiah answered, 1t is light thing
for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay,
but let the shadow return backward ten de-
grees.
IL And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the
Lord and he brought the shadow ten degrees
backward, by which it had gone down in the
dial of Ahaz
II At that time Berodachbaladan, the son of
Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a
present unto Hezekiah for he had heard that
Hezekiah had been sick.
Is And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and
showed them all the house of his precious
things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices,
and the precious ointment. and all the house of
his armor, and all that was found in his treas
ures: there was nothing in his house, Tor in all
his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not.
IA Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king
Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these
men? and from whence came they unto thee
And Hezekiah said, They are come from far
country, even from Babylon.
10 And he said What have they seen in thine
house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things
that are in mine house have they seen there is
nothing among my treasures that have not
showed them.
16 And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the
word of the Lord:
II Behold, the days come, and all that is in
thine house, and that which thy fathers have
laid mp in store unto this day, shall be carried
unto Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the
Lord.

Up rear the Writ county line, there
lives very neat and particular old far
mer who always carries an umbrella,
which is his pride to keep always un-
wrinkled and in a shiny covering eX-
cept in case of need. Riding along the
road near home, last Monday, he became
thirsty, and dismounting he stood his
umbrella against the fence while he
went some distance TO spring under
the hill. Finding some mulberries, he
stayed some time. When he returned,
his umbrella was lying on the ground
about five feet from where he left it.
Thinking nothing of this, he picked it
up, brushed the dirt off carefully and
rode on. After jogging along about a
mile he attempted to remove the cover
ing to use the umbrella, as it was very
warm. After getting it about half off,
he observed the "cover" commence ter
rible wriggling, when to his horror he
discoyered that black snake had swal-
lowed his umbrella entire except the
handle. In his excitement the snake
escaped. The theory Is that the snake
mistook the umbrella for another snake
and swallowed it rs it was standing
against the fence.-Pdrkersburg State
Journal.

Heg u Funeral ofHis Own.

Willie Sans, aged six years, son of
farmer living near Wilson, n. c., on
Friday last murdered his infant brother,
aged 3 months. The child had been
given him to hold, and he went out in
the sun with it. He had soma time ago,
been taken to child's funeral, and man
ifested great interest in its burial, which
he did not seem to understand. He has
frequently prattled about it recently
and asked many questions as to how the
child was got into the coffin, and when
it would come out. When he reached
the grove, about three hundred yards
from his fathers home, he took slGall
box, which he had previously carried
to the spot, and after scooping out a
grave in the sand by small brook, he
placed the infant in box, nailed down
the top, and buried it, even going
through the form Of delivering prayer
and singing the hymn. After ne had
filled the grave he stamped on it, and
slowly went back home and told his
mother what he had done. He said it
"was just like Mrs. Arthur's little
baby's funeral" The mother FASTENED
to the scene, the grave was reopened,
and the infant found dead, with its
right arm broken and irs skull crushed

Three Nlen browne ed.


The saddest accident from drowning
that it has ever been our duty to record
occurred last Wednesday morning near
Alma. Three men, Wesley Cubbage,
Levi Lucas and his brother, were at
tempting to cross the river at that place
in a skiff. The vessel was old and leaky,
and when about midway of the stream,
having gathered considerable water, it
began to sink. phe men became very
much frightened and jumped out, and
could easily have escaped had it not
been for their excitement, as the water
was not deep. But in attempting to
wade ashore, and being unable to swim,
they were soon in very deep water, and
drowned before aid could reach them.
Mr.. Cubbage was middle-aged man,
and leaves wife and eight children.
He was highly esteemed by all who
knew him, and deservedly enjoyed their
confidence and respect. The I.ucases
were young men. All three lived a
short distance above Honeyville.-Page
Courier.

Held at Bay by q Maniac,

Great excitement was occasioned In
North Vernon, Ind, Thursday morning,
by the capture of wild man named Sam
uel Melvin, of Kentucky, who became
suddenly ferocious, and at a place on
Greensburg street held at bay all the farm
wagons coming into town. He had a
bowie-knife aud threatened to kill all
who attempted to pass. Sons twenty
five wagons were stopped by him. He
attacked Tony Gasper's wagon, and
turned the horses and wagon over,
nearly killing the horses. Then he at
tackled Casper with his knife, inflicting
wounds, but not serious. For three
hours he held scores of people in the
narrow lane, and in the most vicious
manner attacked any one near him.
Finally, Lon King, Andy Musser and
Tom McAdams closed in on him. For
time it seemed that the man would kill
them al; but he. was brought down by
powerful blow by Musser. They tied
him with ropes and carried him away
in wagon. Fully five hundred peo-
pie witnessed the scene.
