them by tanning them, which made the

Mr.. Irving Tells a Good Story.

The queen, as he who wishes may
read, has often made visits both of
pleasure and policy, to her estates in
Scotland, being ut such times more
than heartily welcomed by the canny
Scots, who, almost without exception,
highly reverence her and indorse all
that she does.
On one occasion, shortly after visit
to her castle in the outskirts of Bal

who was travelling through the country
met an old Scotchwoman with whom he
spoke of her Majesty.

he.

Battle With an Alligator.

Robert Carroll. n trapper and hunter,
while trapping for ottors on West
Choctawpatchie river, in Alabama, had
terrible fight with an alligator re-
Gently.
Seeing the water agitated in hole
near the river, and snpposing that OF
ters were fishing therein, he mounted
u pole on tussock just above the
waters edge. His steel traps were
in sack suspended from his neck.
His only weapon was his Ratchet. He
sat ON the pole, with a mass of vines a,
his back. He held his weapon ready
to strike an otter, should one arise.
Soon he saw young alligator near
him. He caught it up and it uttered q
cry. In an instant there was terrible
splash of water, and huge alligator,
with distended mouth and glitterine
teeth, rushed for him. With little
hope of escape he fell back upon the
vines, and rs he did so kicked the pole
from under his feet.
The terrible jaws closed on the pole
and crushed it. Carroll tried to inter.
pose the traps but vine had caught
them and partly held him down. Seiz
ing his Ratchet he struck into the open
mouth of his assailant. 1t closed on
the weapon, and with great difficulty
he saved the Ratchet. Getting free
from his traps he dealt the alligator ,
fatal blow on the skull as it made tn,
next charge.
He secured the skin and such teetl
as had not been destroyed in the fight
The length of the alligator was abou
nine and half feet. The hole was it
den. Alligators rarely attack human
beings.-N. Y. Sun.

Princess of Wales is the leader of fash

she is Initiated. If she appears in q

The address of Rev. Wallace Carna-
han, of Christi Episcopal Church, this
city, at the usual Sunday afternoon song
service held at the Y. NJ. c. A. rooms
last Sabbath, was an earnest, tervent
admirable discourse upon prayer. MIR.
Carnahan said:
"God is father to all who believe in
Him, and like as father pitieth his
children SO He pitieth them that fear
Him. and it is repugnant to every con-
ception OF a good and benifcent God
and Creator, who is omniscient and ON
nipotent, to say that he will not hearken
to the cries of distress and urgent need
that come from the hearts of His chill
dren. In conclusion, the speaker en-
joined upon his hearers the necessity of
earnest and frequent prayer as a safe
guard from the evils Of life and refuge
in time of trouble"

stroke of paralysis, then the heart vary

dy the brave spirit yielded, breathing his

energy placed him among our promi-
nent citizens distinguished in all the
better traits of manhood.

A CHILD'S FAITH.

Childhood is itself, in many respects,
favorable to the termination of Chris
tan instincts. It is the age of faith.
Frederick Robertson says that soldiers
and sailors never doubt. The same is
more true of children. To a child
whose conscience has not been tamper-
ed with, it is natural to speak the truth,
and to believe it. He is not a diplomat
list, and he does not suspect diplomatic
speech in others. Therefore his is the
age of convictions, free from doubts. A
child's beliefs are all certaintieS. 1t is
the age of prompt and vivid impress
slons. Even his imaginationS are real-
ties. He easily, therefore, accepts eteF-
nal things as realities. Toa thoughllD
boy, heaven is at times as much Of
reality as this world. Many things thus
conspire to render his conversation
easy. ,n
The ease of conversation to an aouI'
mind is in proportion to the degree III
which it retains the child-llke na'ul'
This was our Savior's thought: "Ez'sp
We = become as little children y,
shall not enter into the Nlp6OO
heaven"

MADELINE WITTER.

er Rhine, stands the town of Strasburg,
a very old and famous place. The spire
of it's cathedral is the Hottest building in
the world, and it once contained Won
dertul clock that told the hour and day
and week and month of the year.
But, my dear children, it is not of
Strasburg I am going totell you, but of
Madeline Salome Witter, who was born
in that town about a hundred years ago.
Madeline was good girl she loved her
parents, she was diligent at school, and
every Sunday, except when prevented
by sickness, she was to be found in her
fathers pew in the little church that
stood on the banks of the Ill. She was
fond of dumb animals, and was very
kind to them, as all good people are.
She had many pets, and among these a
marmot, which had been presented to
her by friend who dWelt in Switzer-
land.
Madeline's marmot came from SWitz-
erland, among whose snoW-topped
mountains many ofthem are to be found.
They live in small companies, and feed
upon roots and vegetables. They form
holes in the ground with two entrances,
and they line these holes with moss and
hay. When September comes and the
days grow cold, they retire into their
houses, stop up the entrances with earth
and sleep till the sun and showers of
April cause the grass to spring anew.
They are playful creatures, and soon be-
come so tame, if kindly treated, that
they are made pets OF by the people of
Switzerland.
When Madeline grew up, she became
the wife OF Jean Frederick Oberlin, the
pastor Of Waldbach, small village in
the Ban-de-l a-roche (which means the
Valley of StoneS), not far distant from
Strasburg. It would take long time
to tell Of all the good things Oberlin did
for his people. He not only preached
the Gospel to them and prayed with
them in their own houses, but he also
taught them to manage their farms, and
to surround their houses with fruit trees
and gardens. He found employment
for them in straw-plaiting, knitting and
weaving. He erected schools for their
children, and he gave them presents of
books which he printed at his own ex-
|pense.
In all these good works, he was as
assisted by his wife Madeline. She
taught in the schools; she went into
