The Sections Heavenly Expecta-
tiOnS.

From Harper's Magazine for February.
The sexton of a Baptist church in
@ large western city was a good col
ored brother, who rarely took part in
the social religious meetings of the So
ciety; and when he did, all present
held their breath, for it was well
known that some one was to be chit
on the head" and great amusement
was in store for the Others. On this
particular occasion the subject of the
prayer meeting was "Christian humil-
ity." Mr.. Bascom, one OF the wealth
lest church members, while leaning on
his gold-headed cane and toying with
his elegant watch chain, concluded his
remarks, with great affectation of hui
mility, by saying: eff I should be so
favored as to reach heaven at all, it
seems to me that q place in the most
remote section, the most obscure cor
ner OF that blissful region will be inf
nitely more than / deserve. And
when the call comes to me to go up
higher, it seems to me | shall feel like
putting my hand upon my mouth and
my mouth in the dust, and crying out;
'Unclean! u~ncleanl'
When he was seated, the colored
brother rose in the real of the roega,
and, slowly advancing, faced the aud
fence, and thus addressed them:
"Brudders an sisters, when / hears de
angel GabriI blow the trumpet a-callin'
me home, it pears to me I'll be so
powerful glad I'll just call out, 'Hol
on dar, Gabri'l; / hears de trumpet,
an rs comm mighty quickl' Anti
pears to me I'll be so Dustin full OBJ

ders and sisters, what do de scriptures

A Thing to Keep Clear of.
From Halls Journal OF Health.

FROM Hairs Journal oil Health.
Pneumonia usually begins with a
chill, intense and prolonged, generally
at night, and followed by a correspond
ingly high fever and sharp pains in the
sides. The disease is very rapid in it's
progress, reaching a crisis in from five
to six days and sometimes causing
death within three days. Usually
but one lung is affected and often the
disease is confined to a single lobe!
A person may have double pneu-
monia," or pneumonia of both lungs,
and recover from it, but the chances
are against him. When the disease
spreads to all of the lung lobes death
is certain, as the patient can not
breathe and dies of s~uffocation. The
diseased lung, at first infiamed, soon
becomes hard and leathery and inca
pable of performing its natural func-
tions. A curious fact is that usually
no second chill occurs when another
lobe is attacked, and there appears
to be no relation between the amount
of lung affected and the intensity OF
the symptoms. All physicians agree
in saying that the disease is not con-
tagious, but may be epidemic, and it
has been noticed that it is developed
under the same conditions as diph-
liberia; that is. the conditions which
produce diphtheria in the young are
apt to cause pneumonia among
adults.
Without specializing upon these
different theories, from what has been
said in which all agree, it is plain that
anything which lowers the vitality of
the system is conducive to the disease
and should be carefully avoided.
Overwork, either physical or mental,
has much to do with it, and this ex-
plains why SO many business men and
brain-workers become it's victims.
Sudden changes of the weather and
draughts of Gil kinds are also to be
guarded against. In a word, live
temporarily, dress warmly, avoiding
all manne of imprudences, and you
need have no fear OF pneumonia.

What He Bought.
Clara Bells Letter.

Clara Bells Letter.
l know the most prim and modest
of young Episcopal curates. He may
get audious after being established a
few years in a full rectorship, but at
present, if he said boo at all to a
pretty girl, it would be in the mildest
whispered tone. He is in love. It hap
pened to him lately, on first sight of
my dear little friend, Henriette; and
she knows it though he hasn't told
her so. By the time he gathers cour-
age to pop the question she will have
had ample opportunity for inquiry as
to his prospects, his family and her
own inclination. Well, he bought a
Christmas present for her-selected it
all by himself, he told me to-day,
or bringing it round to our house
in his handbag for me to inspect.
II have an artistic eyefor color and
shape" he said, "and ! am sure that
Miss Henriette will be charming in the
house robe that Ihave procured. 1t
is mostly white, with just a faint sug-
.gestion of delicate blue in the lace
that garnishes. And then the flowing
draperies will of a surety be vastly be-
coming to her. Please give me yonr

"fou are a young clergyman just set

and you cannot be too careful in your
social doings. Forgive me for any
seeming presumption, but I feel it my
duty to warn you to be on your
guard. The public is so consorious

Mr.. Whittier dislikes, for himself,
biographies and biographers. "Of
course, / am glad" he said to arecent
visitor, "to have thee tell my friends
anything about me they care to know;
but such fame as as man gets from
books written about HIM after he is
dead seems to me worth very little.
/ have never thought of myself as q
poet in the sense in which we use the
word when wespeak ofthegreat poets.

been a series of surprises to me that
people should pay so much attention

In a suit concerning a flock of tur-
keys tried in Colusa county, Cal, the
lawyers submitted the case without
argument, but not so the jurors. A
great rumpus was heard in their room,
tables being overturned and chairs
flying in every direction. When the
constable opened the door he found
one juror on the floor and another
holding him down and beating the
head off him. They were arguing the
case.

There was a pause, then she trem-

There was q pause, then n trem-
ulously said:
II have never seen you, but my
heart tells me to trust you. / know
you are good and noble, and am will
ing to leave my fate in your hands.
Yes, George, | love YOU"
Even as she said the words she ut
tered a cay Of alarm. Then a gruf,
mans voice spoke:
"Go to your room, Lenore. AS to
this villain with whom you have been
holding these secret meetings, we shall
soon find him, and punish him as he
deserves. Search for the rascal, An
tonic, and bring him to me-"
There was a quick trampling Of feet
and the sound of crushing shrubbery,
as if men were breaking through it.
Then another mans voice spoke:
HE has disappeared, your excel
lence."
Every well; we shall find him yet.
He cannot escape me. This is a fine
piece of business, surely-the daugh-
ter Of Count VILLAIN holding secret
meetings with some common vaga-
bond. Lenore shall take the veil"
Eyes" Icried, "the bridal veil, count.
shall pay my respects in person to-
day"
Then leaving them to get over their
astonishment as best they might, /
returned to the house in high spirits.
The name, Count VILLAIN, had given
me a clue to the whereabouts of Lee
more. The dwelling of which | have
spoken as situated across the plain
and opposite the rock, was the resi-
dence of Count VILLAIN. had met the
old gentleman in the city and formed
a speaking acquaintance with him. AS
neither of us had mentioned our pri-
yate affairs | had no means of con-
Meeting his daughter with my invisi-
BILE girl.
That afternoon / presented myself
to the count and after amazing him
with my story, which a few tests con-
WINGED him was true, formally pro-
posed for his daughters hand. AS my
wealth and social position were well
known he offered no objections and
his daughter was sent for.
AS she entered the room | saw that
my idea of her had been less than
true. / had never seen SO lovely a
woman nor m who SO perfectly en-
bodied my highest conception of grace
and beauty. Her dark eyes, still wet
with tears, met mine inquiringly.
"Lenore," said ], | have come as /

smile, lis it your"

"You could not be more" she an
swered naively, "you are n less"

willing to ratify the contract we made
when we were only voices, Lenore?
Your father gives us PERMISSION
1t may be supposed that | received
O. satisfactory answer. when the good.
natured count found it discreet to
turn away his eyes during my recep-
ton of it.
AS to the strange circumstance
which was the means of uniting us, a
series of tests revealed a remarkable
acoustic property in therock by which
persons standing in certain positions
with reference to it were able to hear
each other with ease more than O.
quarter OF a mile apart. 1t is a very
matter-of-fact solution of the mys.
terry, but Lenore and / are none the
less grateful Tor the good offices of the

The law requires the county commls-
sioners to sppoint the col ct"rs Of taxes
by the second Tuesday in April, and 1t
has generally been found convenient to
appoint the road supervisors at the same
time. AS it not probable that cur board
of commissioners will have another meet
ing af er mex, week before the second
tn, sday in April, it is not improbable
that the appointments to all the local Off
ces will be made at the coming mee1ing
of the board. 1t is understood that the
promises contained in the reso utisas up
on which We fought our victorious cam
paign last fall, to the effect that colored
men will be appointed to official places
where competent, will be observed by the
commissioners in respec, to the supervis-
orsiiips There are several very comps-
