"Jesus, Lover Of NV SOul.v

No doubt, children, says the Ne,o
York Evangelist, you have heard your
dear mothers sing this hymn great
many times. Sometimes when she
rocked you to sleep during hours of
pain and anxiety; sometimes when she
was in great trouble of soul, and longed
for sympathy and rest. 1t is one of the
most beautiful hymns that were ever
written. / think you will be interested
to know how it was written. One day
Mr.. Wesley, the author, was sitting by
an open window looking out over the
bright and beautiful fields. Presently
little bird fitting about in the sun
shine attracted his attention. Just
then a hawk came swooping down
towards the little bird. The poor thing,
very much frightened, was darling
here and there, trying to find some
place of refuge. In the bright sunny
air, in the leafy trees or the green
fields, there was no hiding-place from
the fierce grasp of the hawk. But see
ing an open window and man sitting
by it, the bird flew, in its extremity,
towards it, and, with a beating heart
and quivering wing, found refuge in
Mr.. Wesley's bosom. He sheltered il
from the threatening danger and saved
it from cruel death. Mr.. Wesley was
at that time suffering from severe trials
and was feeling the need of refuge in
his own time of trouble as much as die
the trembling little bird that nestled SC
safely in his bosom. So he took up his
pen and wrote that sweet hymn:
Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly,
While the pillows near me roll,
While the tempest still is high"

Manners.

There is nothing which adds to a
boys success in life, next to honesty
of purpose, as the practice of good
breeding wherever he goes-on the
sidewalks, in the buggy, as well as in
the parlor. If you meet a boy who re-
fuses to give you half the road or turn
out on the sidewalk, you may class him
as a boy with no sense of justice in his
soul. When we speak of a polite boy
we do not wish to be understood as re-
ferring to one who bows low, and takes
off his hat simply, but we mean the
honest face-the one who always car
ries a smile on his countenance; we
mean the one who has kind saluta-
ton when he meets you in the morn
ing, and a pleasant goodnight" in
the evening, a boy whose face is al
ways void of characterization al

The Judge and the Conductor.

A witty but good-natured retort which
brings home truth is often good
way of settling dispute. Every Other
Saturday relates an incident which
shows the effectiveness of such method
of dealing: {" A young lawyer once
quite forgot himself in some curt ex-
pressions to the court, but the Judge
was sensible man, and, in considera-
ton of the immaturity of the member
of the bar, treated the matter rather
gently. He made it clear, however,
that the style had better not be used
again, and remarked, Significantly:
This court is naturally quick-tempered.
A remark, by the way, not inapplicable
to the late Chief Justice Bigelow, who
on one occasion was brought to his
bearings in way as effective as it was
amusing. He was riding in car
which did not stop at Quincy, where
he resided, and, as it was passing by,
he pulled the rope, and the train was
brought to a sudden stop. The con-
ductor rushed into the car and de-
handed: Who rang that bell?' Il
did, said the chief justice. Why?'
Because l want to get off, AT which
the railroad official made some remarks
which were not complimentary and
hardly respectful The Judge after
ward complained to the president OF
the road, who promised to look into
the matter. But he found that although
the conductor might have used ho
language the chief justice was not with
out fault, and said nothing about it
When they next met, by chance, the
latter demanded of the presiden

A Lime Kiln Club Rule.

Professor Moses Day White, Chairman of the Committee on Social Philosophy, desired to submit report. His com mittee had been asked to wrestle with the query; "Does Crime, Suicide, etc, Sweep over the World in Wayes?' The committee purchased four quarts of pea nuts and three bottles of pop and sat down to deliberate the question, and the members had unanimously concluded that the query must be answered in the affirmative. He would, therefore, ask that the report be accepted and the con- mittee discharged from further consider ation of the subject

 Balance from n Bank.

On Q suburban theatre train the other night, little party were talking of pa. thetic scenes upon the stage, and how they were variously affected by them.
 ''For my part" said dapper young man, "I never yet saw anything on the stage that could moisten my eye. I leave the crying to little boys and wo- men,"
 "Oh, you do, do you?" said a bluff old gentleman, an officer of one of the railroads; "every time hear a young man talk as you do feel like telling little incident that once came under my notice in New York city. A party of us sat in a box, Hazel Kirke' was the play. None of us had ever seen it. I shed tear quietly and unobserved, but rough old General McRae cried like a boy. He was president of a Georgia railroad then, and was in New York on business. He was a regular martinet in his profession, stern and unrelenting. He was an old bachelor, too, and so far as is known never had tender feelings toward woman or kin. He had lived life solitary and absolutely unsenti- mental. We were all surprised to see such emotion in such man, but none of us said anything except young George -, of Atlanta. He laughed at the old Generals weakness.
 "'Can you witness such scene as that with dry eyes ? inquired the Gen. eral, with all his old sternness of manner and speech.
 "'Why, of course I can. I could laugh at it even as I laugh at you.'
 See here, George - said Gen. eral McRae, with great earnestness, you are cashier of a bank in Atlanta. In that bank my company has many thousands of dollars deposited. Imme- diately on my return home every dollar of our deposits shall be withdrawn. You may be an honest man, but do not feel safe with our money in an institution where one of the responsible officers is a person who talks as you talk tonight
 "Upon his return to Atlanta the Gen. eral did as he promised. And luckily, too, for in less than six months that bank was nearly ruined by heavy em- bezzlement by its cashier. - Chicago Herald

Not What he Pretends to Be.

The Chicago Tribune says: know a woman in Chicago of more than com monly heroic stuff. In the late war she rode through shot and shell to succor the dying. She has all the graces that become a woman and more of moral courage then many men. She has long been the associate of men high in the Nations counsels, and recently accepted position of public responsibility.
 "No." said she, 1T do no! believe any man was ever an atheist in the full sense of the word. I crossed the ocean with Bob Ingersoll once, and I asked him about it. 'No,' said he, T have been all over the ground. I have dreamed myself into every conceivable frame of mind-have scaledthe nights and looked beyond into the impenetra5le mystery of infnity; have passed down through the vale of despair and have wandered on the edges of the abyss, and 1 do not believe that conscientious and lasting atheism is condition possible to the human mind In evidence of this let me tell you," continued she, "that I saw and heard Colonel Ingersoll my self once oD the field of batt!e"-she named the battle, but cannot recall it -"when he was gsnantly rallying a regiment of broken and retreating sol diers. He used no goddess arguments then, but, waving his sword aloft, swore with all the vigor of an excited man, and called upon the men with such eloquencs and force in the name of their altars and sires and the God that watches above them to turn back again in.o the fight that with one accord they accepted his leadership and turned with shout again to the charge"

Fun for the Young People.

The young people of Perry, Ga, &C., cording to the Enquirer of that town, have a pleasant way of spending their evenings, and it is as novel and unique as pleasant. It is told that they have doe-nation parties to which young ladies only are invited. The time and place are kept secret from the young gentle men. The young ladies assemble at some private residence, each with her donation of refreshments, and determine to enjoy themselves, ostensibly without the presence of the stags. The latter, in the meantime, having discovered the time and place, organize Q stormipg party and capture the hiding place, to the great delight of both parties, who thereupon have an enjoyable social evening together, as they set out to do.

FLAMES IN THE QUAKER CITY.
An Alarming COnHRRrntIOn-TwO Person
 Killed and Three Iniured-HeRvy Loss.


 destructive conaagration occurred in the business centre of Philadelphia on Thursday, involving the loss of property worth half million of dollars, the death of two persons and the injury of three more. The fire was the most alarming, as it was the most stubborn to subdue, that has occurred in that city for several years. The fire was discovered at g. 15, in the fiye-story brick structure No. 125 Chest nut street and, although four separate alarms were sounded and every available engins was brought into play, the flames spread ra pidly. Most of the buildings were storehouses for cotton goods, woolen goods and yarns. Some were stored with analine dye one was toy shop stocked with fireworks and another was filled with army clothing.
 The first serious accident was the death of John Marshall, a drayman, who was in the building at the time tue wall fell. His death occurred within half an hour of the beginning of the fire, and by that time the upper half of the walls of the building fell out
 The second serious accident was occasioned by the falling of the wall of the warehouse No. 123 Chestnut street. Just as it fell, the hose carriage of Fire Company No. 22 was be- ing driven down Chestnut street, trailing an extra hose. The driver was John McCourt, the stoker of the engine. The falling walls fell upon the carriage and injured the drlver so serio asly that it was at first thought he was dead. Such, however, was not the case, but his injuries proved fatal in few hours. The horse he was driving was SO badly hurt that 1t was necessary to sEoot it.
 Nine large business houses were almo st com- pletely burned out, six were much damaged and four others incurred losses which many thousand dollars will not repair. The origin of the fire is a mystery. It Is supposed to have been caused by spontaneous combustion in the fourth story of Stephensons place, the same being aided by compressed air in & close room on this floor.
