Repentance.
Detroit Free Peess,

The sexton OF Methodist church in
n certain church in Alabama is Enoch
Smith a negro, about fifty years of age.
In his own church Enoch stands some
what higher, being Il member of the
board of stewards, and, SO far as the flu
ture is concerned, with very fair chance
of promotion.
A little thing happened the other day
which, but for the unfortunate disclos-
ure OF himself by the perpetrator OF the
joke, would without doubt have eleva-
ted Enoch in the opinion OF his breth-
r9n, but alas
Late Saturday afternoon Enoch was
engaged in making the white peoples
church ready for the next days. service.
The solitude of the place Was rem
dered mere fearful by the heavy ram,
thunder and lightning outside and
Enoch is excusable for feeling as he ex-
pressed it, mighty jubous." A negro
drayman sought refuge from the
rain in the church porch, and when
he looked into the church and saw the
sexton with his back turned he stealth
lily entered and concealed himself un-
der the benches. The sexton swept.
and the lightning flashed, the thunder
rolled--and then came stiffness, which
was at length broken, by voice, utter
ing in sepulchral tone, the one word
"EnochW
Enoch turned around but saw no one ;
he quivered; his flesh begun to "creep." :"
Again, louder, more awful:
"Enochl"
Enoch, with both hands held the
broom, but answered not-his heart
clogged the way. Once more in tones
OF thunder came the words:
"Enochl Turn, and come on the
Lawds side!"
Enoch felt that it was answer or die,
and SO by a mighty effort he swallowed
his heart and literally screamed forth:
eyes, my Lawd!"
Chow many wives you got? ?" said the
voice.
Enoch was now beside himself with
terror, and, falling upon his knees,
chanted at the top of his voice
"Ohl Marse Jesus You know hits
five, widout er akin NV me, but spar
me now'n I'll glib UNI all up Yes,
good Lawd, spare po' Enoch jes dis
onct--" Here the familiar voice OF
Ben Andrews, the drayman, inquired
"Wlht'n old Harry you hollerin
'bout?"
Enoch gave vent TO a resonant groan
of mingled relief and chargrin, and, as
the slLghing questioner arose, resumed
his sweeping with the remark:
81 seed yer when yer fust come in.

OF people.
Driving about five miles from town,
one sunny afternoon, we came upon a
hcrder and his flock. We were in the
low valley; they high up the steep de-
cllyity were in full possession Of the
sun. The sheep from our position,
dwindled to about one-third their size
and seemed to move as a mass. The
scene was peaceful and pastoral beyond
expression. thought of the plains be-
yend Jerusalem and the shepherds Of
India. The old sheepeot, the vision
and the voice. tbs years agone, but
the same peace broods over the scene.
Far up on rock, motionless black
speck that we knew was the keeper.
We asked if they did not read, and
were told that they could not Also
expressing our astonishment that any
thing could live on so sterile a slope,
we were told that a sweet, nutrious
grass grew in the crevces OF the rocks.
But the herds mostly feed on the green
OF the rich, narrow valleys.
\ In the mountains the shepherds wear
stout spiked boots, but on the plains the
grass is so thick, and smooth and oily,
that their boot grow polished as ivory.
I can never see the lonely herder's
light without feeling throb OF pity,
even though he be Mexican and untu-
tored.
Down in the low piazza by the river,
he two could find enjoyment With
knot OF pinion, blazing in the curious
corner Fireplace, with his people squat
ted low about its warmth, with a piece
OF boiled mutton, and some fresh bread
from the outdoor oven, he could take
pleasure and comfort. Fishing in the
river and the coming Of the priest, q
loot-race ON the hard beaten foreground
OF the plaza, all these are denied him,
and absent on the cold mountains he
must surely brood over them and re-
gret them. Human nature is unchange-
able. There must be so much to stimu-
late and divert, or the thoughts 90 rap
idly down the channel OF despair.

How 10 make Money While Doing Good.

The many visitors to the City of New
Orleans during the past winter months,
have frequently, both in their letters
home and their recounting the Incl
dents OF their travels dwell upon the
celebrated Charity Hospital, which has
been a refuge for many years to the
sick and injured, and which is sustained
by The Louisiana State Lottery, about
which, and its Monthly Grand Distri-
buttons OF Fortunes, anyone can learn
more on an application to M. A. Dau-
phin, New Orleans, La. Here is rare
case where a person may make much
money By doing good TO strangers.
