Little Amy.

Rev. NJ. G. Mann, in the Presbyterian
Home Missionary, relates the following
incident in connection with the work
among the Indians at Chehalis, Washing
ton Territory:
sSThe old hereditary chief, Se-cenna,
has a blind wife, blind old sister, and
q girl, about twelve years Of age, dying
of consumption. This little sickly child
was the one who should lead them-the
whole family-to Christ. Little Amy
used to come to the Sunday-school, and
gladly listened to the story of the Gospel.
She desired to be baptized and to be re-
ceived into the church. She seemed so
very happy. Then she would lead her
blind mother to church, and, becom ng
q faithful and regular attendant, she be-
came converted, and, rising to her feet
told all the people how the Lord Jesus
had opened her eyes so that she now sees
beyond the veil, and I baptized her in
the presence of a large congregation,
who were vi,ibly affected. She, in
token of her submission to her Lord and
Master whom she promised to follow and
obey, knelt down to receive baptism.
When first met this woman, over year
ago, in her small yet tidy hut, she was in
the act of trying on partially finished
calico dress, which she herself had made
for her little daughter. I asked her in
Chinook who cut and baisted the dress.
She answered that she herself did it
all, while Amy threaded the needles for
her. The dress was, rs saw afterward,
not only good fit, but also lined. The
little girl then brought this old blind
aunt, perhaps ninety years old, to church
as often as the weather would permit,
until her (thc girl's) failing strength for
bade her to come any longer. The old
woman finally wished to accept the
strong arms of Jesus to be her support
in her declining years, and, believing in
him and yielding herself up to him, size
was baptized last Sunday before the
church. I shall never in my lifetime
forget the sight and the feeling as saw
the aged disciple, led by the hand of the
elder, come forward, telling the people
what led her TO become Christian, of
her trust in God, and as she knelt to r.
ceive baptism with upliftcd face, she
seemed to see Him who stteth on the
great white throne, who would soon give
her ending second-sight.
s'The old chief told me, as Imade them
all visit the same Sunday afternoon,
that he himself would resist no longer:
his people were all becoming Christians
and he would follow next. Proud of his
ancestry and the old traditions of which
he was the bearer and exponent, he hcsi-
tated to own that he was conquered by
Him before whom every kne, shall
bend, to proclaim Him Lord of ALL"

The Shying Horse.

Whv does horse shy? asks the Lire-
SYo.E Journal. Because he sees some
thing which he does not unders: and, and
is filed with greater or less degree OF
fear, something as the boy feels when he
shys at the burying ground and goes
around to keep clear of it. 1t may be
some new or unusual object that the
horse sees, or it may be an imperfect view
of it. Even a familiar objett, If 1t comes
to view suddenly and unexpectedly Will
cause horse to shy or jump, just as an
unexpected object or sound causes
nervous person to start. When person
is 80 startled, how much would it I'M
prove the matter to be scolded at or given
a cut with the whip7 Just as much as
the same treatment would in the case Oh
the horse. Harshness only aggraVates
the matter. The more the horse ls
scolded and whipped the more nervous
he gets, and every time he passes the
place where the fright and whipping &C.
Cured he will recollect the unpleasant
affair, and he will begin to prick up his
ears, and fidset, ready for another jump
Give him the lines and he will go by IN
hurry. The proper way is never to s!r,ke
or scold horse that is stal tied or trlSht-
ened. Speak to him coolly, calmly ana
kindly; give him time to see ana coliecs
his scattered senses, and make him feel
that YOU are his friend and protec or.
When he sees that all is right, there IS an
end to all further trouble. We have
seen a horse refuse to cross an unsafe
looking bridge, but when the driver took
him by the bits and walked ahead, tEa
horse cautiously followed. Next timo
he required no coaxing or urging to cross
tho bridge. He might've been WHIPPED
into it at first, bat was not the mlider
course, although little trouble, the bet
ter one2 The horse showed his conh-
dcnce in the driver ever afterward.

RELIGIOUS READING.
Blow High.

Blow high, ye winds Of God, blow high,
And sweep the black clouds from the sky'
And all the foul air that has birth
In the low places of the earth,
Sweep them away!
Blow high, ye winds Of God, blow high;
And all that causeth men to sigh,
Sin-cursed oppression, heartless wrong,
However old. however strong,
Sweep them away!
Blow high, ye winds Of God, blow high,
The scornful sneer the shameful lie,
The reckless tampe-ing with doubt
The foul within, and white without,
Sweep them away!
Blow high, ye winds of God. blow high;
And all that causes men TO die,
The gateways leading down to hell,
Where men their souls for whisky sell,
Sweep them away.

IT has been the custom Of the New
Orleans daily newspaper publishers
to take back from the retailers the un-
sold copies of their papers. This has
been stopped recently, because the
publishers found that they were being
robbed. Several dealers had estab-
ished routes on which they rented the
papers at reduced rates instead Of sell
ing them. They delivered the papers
in the morning, gathered them up in
the evening, and returned them As un-
sold copies.

IuE natives of New Britain, an island

TuE natives of New Britain, an island
in the Pacific, have custom of caging
their daughters until they reach the
marrying age. This plan saves a deal
of trouble and expense, as may he seen
at glance. There are no elopements
in New Britain, and there are no bank
ruptcies by reason of heavy demands
for spring bonnets. In fact, The ma
tives make very parsimonious use OF
clothing, wearing but narrow cloth
about their loins, They would make
splendid cigarette photographs.

A Prayer for the Country.

Almighty God, who in the former time
leddest our fathers forth into wealthy
place, and didst set their feet in large
room, give thy grace, we humbly be-
seech thee, to US their children, that we
may always approve ourselves people
mindful of thy favor and glad to do thy
will. Bless our land with honorable IN
dustry, sound learning and pure manners.
Defend our liberties, preserve our UNITY.
Save us from violence, discord and con-
fusion, from pride and arrogancy, and
from every evil way. Fashion into one
happy people the multitudes brought
hither out of many kindreds and tongues.
Enduc with the spirit of wisdom those
whom we intrust in thy name with the
authority of governancc, to the end that
there be peace at home, and that we
keep our peace among the nations of the
earth. In the time of our prosperity,
temper our self-confdcnce with thank
fulpess, and in the day of trouble suffer
not our trust in thee to fail. All which
we ask for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.
Life Everlasting.
A dear mother lay dying. For years
past that hoary head had been the crown
ing glory of home. In all the affairs of
family life her advice had been deemed
precious for had she not sought the
wisdom that cometh down from above?
and the confidence reposed in her judg-
ment was but the evidence of the guild
ing hand. Through the trying period of
young maternity, as through the ripper
years of motherhood. and when at length
others now matured had assumed the
burdens it had been hers to carry, and age
had siivered the locks and diminished the
physical vitality, her trust in the dear Re-
deemer had deepened and strengthened,
until, with the apostle, in cheerful assur-
ance, she could say, 81 knoO whom l have
believed" Never had she appeared more
beautiful than while waiting the sum-
mons to come up higher. Her children,
to the fourth generation, had gathered
around the bedside. The tenderness and
love shown there were but the ripened
fruit of her own planting in the years
gone by. Grandmother was loved, be-
cause mother had first been the all in all.
As the last words were spoken to each in
turn, in the realization that the parting
would be for little while only, one,
surprised at such caimness in the very
face of the King of Terrors, exclaimed =
sWhy, this is not like death!" ''Dcath!"
said the departing saint, as new light
appeared to CLEAN in the dying eyes, and
momentary strength was impaired,
II = - J
In few moments the spirit had re-
turned to God who gave it - the reality
of the Christian hope, the comfort of a
childlikc trust in Him who has promised
us all things, both for this life and that
to come!
"Jesus, thou Prince of Life,
Thy chosen cannot die;
Like thee they conquer in the strife,
To reign with thee on high!"

of the Cattle Disease-TOpics Discussed.

The Indiana State Veterinary Surgeons held
their annual meeting in Mozart Hall yesterday.

veterinary surgeons from different sections of

representing different localities, showed the
took OF the State comparatively free from all
contagious and dangerous diseases, with the ex-
ception Of those localities affected with choose.
There were fewer deaths from contagious dis
eases the past year than for several years pre-
vious, which the association attributed to the
great advancement in the profession Of veter-
mary surgery.
The peculiar disease affecting the cattle in
Clinton, Benton and other counties, which DR..
Salmon. of the Bureau of Animal Industry, has
pronounced not pleuro-pneumonia, but "hoose,"
was made a special topic for discussion. Drs

are not satisfied with DR.. Salmon's verdict, and
insisted that while some of the cattle were af-
fected with hoose others had the genuine
pleuro-pneumonia. There were interesting dis
cussions of other topics, and there was q general
concurrence in the idea that the veterinary
