The Last Baby.

The last baby born in the family is
very apt to be baby all his life, even
in manhood The first one, Of course
creates the deepest interest during his
early days: The intermediate are sim
ply bright or pretty. None of the de-
grees of comparison is ever lavshed ON
the intermediate baby. 1t is the first
and the last child which create the gos-
sip and attract notice. But as the
first grows up and the others follow
everything tender seems to cluster
about the last born. He doesn't have
to wear the old clothes of the others.
They are constantly reminded that
this one is their youngest brother
They must play with it, and everything
new that comes into the house must be
inspected by this last addition. He is
always supposed to be the flour of the
flock. As he grows older and strong
er the old people cling to him the clos
er. AS long as he lives there is home.
The others have become men and wom-

remains at home with thu old people.

the first signal for the grief which sits
at the hcarthsone during the long win

boiling about in the water fastened by
a rope to the stern of the canal boat
He was so thoroughly frightened that
he could scarcely keep from screaming.
He knew he was being carried far from
home, and he had heard how kidnap-
pers treated children. Every nerve of
his little body quivered with fear, but
all the sturdiness of his nature came to
the surface now, and he knew he must
in some way get free from these men.
While he was sobbing quietly to
himself in the darkness, he heard the
men rise and come down the steps.
Johnny made believe sleep, and heard
one say to the other:
"The chap'll sleep the distance
through likely enough. No danger
from him for awhile yet"
Then they went forward to where
Johnny could see light cleaning be-
hind some barrels, and presently he
heard the Jingle of glasses, and now
then some word relating to cards.
"Now's my time thought Johnny:
and slipping softly from the berth, he
crept up the steps, looking cautiously
on deck, saw only the black clouds of
an angry sky above him, and the dim
outline of the rope in its ring at the
stern of the boat, to which he CROPPED
his way on tiptoe.
Once there, he had to pull and tug
at the rope until the rowboat was d.
rectly under the stern of the canal.
barge; and then, still terrible frighten-
ed, and as much AFRAID of the water as
of the men, yet knowing he must get
away from them, he dropped into the
rowboat, drew his little earl-handled
knife from his pocket, and after some
saving back and forth with the not
very sharp blade, succeeded in cutting
himself free from his prison, and was
speedily floating about on the dark wa
tiers, far behind the canal boat.
Poor little Johnnyl he cried then
fast and hard enough; but neither the
sobs nor the voice reached the ear of
the two men, who were half-tipsy over
their beer and cards even yet.
There was danger that Johnny's boat
would be run down, Of course, by tho
many vessels gong by; but kind
Providence surely watched over the
child, and when large row-boat from
whose bow a lantern sent its bright
light flashing overthe waters, passed

ped one oar and grabbed the boat con-
tanning the sobblng Johnny, bringing
it alongside of his own.
Johnuy's pitiful tale was soon told,
and without further thought the man
turned his boat about and rowed hard
and fast back to the dock, which, after
all, was not so very far away. Before
midnight the lost boy was safe in the
arms of his parents, and, considering
his size, he was thought perfect lit
tie hero.

And when John James Jimmerson

may be sure he told his tale in such
way that not one boy dared to say he
was only half as long as his name. --

is a passage which says, "thou shalt
not steal" and there is a passage
which tells as that liars shall have
their part in the lake which burneth
with fire and birthstone. If we can
get rid of some OF these big words
and come down to language which
the common people can understand,
We shall, perhaps, be able to warn
men against the dangers of stealing,
and tell men who lie, that they are
on the straight road to hell. This is
very unpopular word, and a very
obsolete doctrine, but there are
some things which go to show that
it is true. One of them is this {:
that the devil is very sure to get a
grip on these genteel swindlers and
their ill-gotten gains in this world,
and nothing affords much foundation
for the idea that he will let go of
them in the next.-BoSton Safe

BELLS FRENCH ELECTROMOTOR.
From tie Dublin Medica! Journal.

from tte DH6EtH Medical Journal
The merit of Bells French Electro
motor consists in combining in one
small machine every advantage one
could possibly derive from room full
of all sorts of electrical apparatus.
combining as it does, all the best fea-
lures of the many different machines
for generating electricity and electro
magnetism, besides possessing some
pecu liarities of its own, one being
the passage of the electric current
through the helix without change, it
may be placed among the triumphs Of
art of this decade. OurFrench medical
practitioners are loud in its praise for
the treatment of rheumatism, neural
gia, paralysis, chronic catarrh, head
ache and toothache; DR.. Philips of the
Paris Infirmary declaring that OF ouf
the hundred and twenty-eight cases of
toothache treated by him in the month
of June, only three failed of immediate
relief from Bells French Electromotor.
DR.. Matarici says it is the only device
discovered that produces an electric
current which can excite at one time
sensation, and at another contraction,
as it traverses o nerve with its mild
and gentle current, without giving the
semblance of shock.
1t can be used by any one, no mat
ter how inexperienced ID manipulate
ing electrical apparatus. The instru-
ment is enclosed in an insulated nickel
case, and costs in France four francs.

Gov. Pierce of Dakota makes this
strong argument IN favor of the ad-
mission of that Territory as a State:
eve have six times the popula-
ton therein named as the maximum
number of admission. We have
1000 schools and half dozen high
er institutions of learning. We have
permanent and costly structures
erected for benevolent and penal
purposes, and all built by the Ter
ritory without the aid of the Gene
raj Government. 1t Is the policy of
the Government to encourage the
settlement and development of the
national domain. Generous laws
have been enacted, and many in
ducements given to open this wide
region to civilization. l submit that
this liberality of the General Gov
ernment in granting free homes
ought not to be defeated by an il
liberal exclusion of those privileges
of self government which, like many
others, grow dearer when they are
denied"

SOUND WORDS.
Some Sensible Advice by Religious
Exchange.

The Scripture exhorts us to "hold
fast" the form of "Souad acor0S,"
which, I suppose, means that we
should call things by their right
names. The rose by any other
name would smell as sweet, but ras-
cality sometimes adorns itself with
names that make it smell far sweet
er than when bearing its own proper
designations.
Especially is this true when men
undertake to describe the swindles
and villainies which are too common
in the higher circles of the CONNER
cial world. Speaking of certain
transactions of this description, the
Hartford Co~ant says:
Decentralization and rehypoth-
ecation are pretty long words. One
means lying, and the other means
stealing. When we are told that
the recent troubles IN business in
New York are attributable to those
long sounding causes, we are really
told that lying and stealing are at
the bottom of the difficulty"
This is refreshing. "Over-certif-
cation" is when bank official says
that some one has certain amount
of money in the bank, which he
does not have, though he may prom
Use that he will have at some other
time. "Rehypothecation" is the
taking of stocks, bonds, notes, etc.,
which are already pledged as secur-
ty for loans, and pledging or pawn
ing them to raise more money. And
under the shadow of these two big
words, too big to be found in most
dictionaries, it is difficult to see Just
where the wrong in the case is.
But when we translate the thing in
to English, and find that one means
lying and the other stealing, we
know just what to think about it.
There are many other words which
are high sounding. There are eds
crepancies," and "deficits," and ode
faults" and "dcfalcations;" there
are irregularities" and "misappro-
priations," and "breaches of trust"
and "embczzlements," and numor-
GUS other operations by which gen
teel rascals get away with the mon
ely which belongs to honest and un.
sRspecting people, the true charac-
ter of which may be expressed by
the simple words, lying and stealing.
These words bring the whole matter
within the range of the ten com
mandmentS. There is no Scripture
which says, "thou shalt not default,
thou shalt not rehypothecate, thou
shalt not oyer-certiicate," but there
