NOT UsEDsTo PRAYING.

heard very amusing story the
other day in connection with the
recent hurricanes. y gentleman
qnito well known in this city, was
hurrying along TO roach his home,
when the storm burst upon tho city
with all its fury. He sought refnoa
IN house who're there we're num-
Der Of ladies' congregated, all of
whom were frantic with terror. Af~
tor little the storm increased ia
fury, the house rocked aud swayod
before tho furious winds, several
windows were blown in, aul it look
ed ms though the whole building
would be destroyed. The women
rushed around wringiug their hands
crying and bomoaning their fate f,
when suddenly one rushed up to the
gentleman and frantically besought
him to oifor up prayer Ia mo-
ment he was surrounded by the
other women, who clung to him and
begged him to pray. He was not by
any means collected himself aud be-
sides he was not up at all in prayers,
but there was no escape for him, SO
ho prepared to comply with their
request. He knelt down, but owing
the excited condition of his mind
aud to tho fact that he had not
prayed for some time, he found
himself utterly unequal to the occa~
sion. lie could not think Of any
thing. lie was dumb. Soon he
became desperate, and without a
thought us to the appropriateness
he pronounced the following brief
exhortation, which he remembered
to have formed part Of the grace
his father used to say many years
ago "Oh Lord make Us thankful
for that which we arc about to re
ceive.' Just then three or four
windows blow in, couple Of chim-
neys blew over, and the prayer
meeting broke up in confusion.

without any alcohol, that is the rest
that my heart gets. But when you
take your wine or grog you do not
allow that rest, for the influence of
alcohol is to increase the nnmber Of

TERRIBLE TIME ON THE CARS

There is something about the av-
erage Chicago young man that OK
poses lin. and exposes ANYBODY
that gets in with him. lie is full Of
practical jokes.
Last week Mr. Eppenetus lIoyt,
OF Fond du Lac, went to Chicago on
n visit. lie is a pious gentlom IN,
aud his presence anywhere is an evil
dence that everything will be con-
Quoted on the square.
Dir. Hoyt knew young mau
named Johnny Darling, who was
attending Rush Medical College
and through him was permitted to
visit tho dissecting room and gave
upon the work being done there.
MIR. Hoyt was introduced to O mum
ber OF tho wicked young men who
were carving the late lamented, and
after he got accustomed to the cli-
mate he rather enjoyed the perfor-
nance.
What young Mr.. Darling told the
boys about MIR. Hoyt will, perhaps,
never be known but, as Mr. Hoyt
passed around the slabs where they
were at work, each made contri-
button from the "stiff' he was at
work upon to Mr., Hoyt's coat pock-
cts unbeknown to him. While one
Was calling his attention to limb
that he was dissecting, another
would cat off an ear, or nose, or
dig out an eye, and drop the same
into Mr.. Hoyts overcoat pockets.
Finally he bid the boys good.by,
thanked them for their courtesies in
showing him around, told them il
they ever came to Fond du Lac his
pew in church was at their disposal,
and he skipped for tho train aud got
on board.
The seats were all occupied, and
middle-aged lady, with slim face
and spectacles, aud evidently an old
maid, allowed him to sit beside her
The car was warm, and it was not
long before the "remains" began to
be heard from. He was talking to
tho lady upon serious matters, when
he smelled something. The lady
had been smelling it for some miles
back, and she had got her eye on
Mr. Hoyt, and had put her hand
kerchief to her nose. He took q
long breath and said to the lady.
The air seems sort o. fixed here
IN this car, does it not ?" and he
looked up at the transom.
"Yes.' said the lady, and she
turned pale aud asked him to let hel

THE FARMERS WIFE.
BY LAURA Il. ALLIeN.

From out the rosy land Of dreams
She comes at early morning;
The dew upon the meadow CLEAN,
Fair as bride ndorniny.
Aroma frou the waving pines,
And fields Of blooming clover;
The noisy brook that sings and shines,
With willows bending over;
The eastern sky glows all aflame,
As though, to one beholding,
The gold and sapphire clouds that
came
Were heavens gates unfolding.
But all this glory stands apart,
For charms her with her beauty,
For care sits heavy on her heart,
Where falls the line of duty.
The cows await the milking time
With soft and patient lowing:
The sturdy farmer, in his prime,
Must hasten to his moving.
His wife must speed the morn repast
And work with nimble fingers,
For farmers ALL from first to last,
Make hay while sunshine fingers.
And when the meal is DER, the pals
Offoaming milk are waiting,
With fragrance caught from sunny
wales,
To future joys relating.
The cream lies thick, like cloths Of
gold,
Where shining pans are brinming,
Their riches gathered fold on fold,
All ready for fhe skiinming.
Then, later, us in oldcn days,
With much of stir and ilutter,
BY weary hands the dasler plays,
And wins the golden butter.
And so the day goes on, and on,
No time for rest or pleasures;
~ wonan's work is never done"
Is true in fullest measure.
And rs the sun siuks in the west,
AMI day growsSinto even.
Weary and worn she goes TO rest,
And almost longs for heaven.

They Met by Chance.

No word was spoken when they met,
BY either-sad or gay,
And yet one badly smitten was,
AS was remarked next day.
They met by chance this autumn eve,
With neither glance nor bow,
They often came together So
A freight train and cow.
