When the secretary had carried out the re-
quest, the president continued:
Sup to yer ago Professor johnson was
an active, respected member of dis club. He
was not molly worker in our cause, but he was
industrious as man. If he couldn't get
work at $1.2O day, he got it fur ST.. If he
couldn't hev roast duck for Sunday, he put
up wild beef-bone soup. His family had
plenty to eat an war, an when rent day
cum around he had de cash ready for his
landlord.
"Jist about some twelve months back
some white man told de professor dat he had
just as good right to pianer, gold watch
an span of horses as rich man. He was
told dat de aristocracy war coinin' money
out Of his labor. He was made to believe
dat de pusson who wouldn't pay 81 to hev a

1t was pounded into him dat, if he sot on de

him roast turkey all winter.
"Many OF you saw how he was affected.
He begun to hate honest work. His mouth
began to grow bigger. While his cloze
growed seedy, his importance increased
daily. When his wood-pile grew less he
cussed Vanderbilt. When his flour bar'l
was empty he reviled Jay Gould. When his
children became ragged he ripped at capital.
When his wife becum bar'fut he swore at de
aristecracy. When his landlord bounced
him for non-payment of rent he howled an
raved about oppressors an tyrants.

Tine Rev. Sam Jones whoops up the boys
sometimes and rafes them horribly about
their gambling and drinking trolics. "Oh,
I've been all along there: boys. 1 know all
about it, and used to go to balls and dance,
too, boys. But when wanted to get mar
ried, when 1 wanted to settle down with a
good wife, quit drinking and gambling;
and didn't go to a ballroom to get my
wife, but went to prayer meeting and
got good one" He told this in Texas. and
when he returned to his boarding-house his
landlady, who had heard his remarks, said !:

Sister Jones, where did she go to get her hus-
band?" They say that this is the only

Flying from heaven, beneath whose snowy

EMBODIED, is a message full of love,
To hearts earth-weary, news OF heavenly things;

Back into heavens keeping fies the day,
May the sweet message still with us abide,
And guide and brighten all our earthly ways!

The following ''Geographal Composition"

"GEoGRAPHAL COMPOSITION.
1.-THE Atlantic Plain is divided into two
parts, low wet lands, and billy lands. The
low wet lands, before cultivated, are covered
with forests of palmetto trees; after being
cultivated rice and sugar cane grow there;
on the hillv lands are cotton sweet potatoes,
corn and tobacco. Forests OF pitch pine
grow on the Appalachian mountains. The
ranges of the Appalachian system are Ale
ghanies, Adirondacks, Catskills and Blue
Ridge; they extend northeast and southwest,
the group is the White Mountains, the peak
is the Black Mountains. On the mountains
are forests of evergreens, beech and maple
trees; in these forests live bear, deer and
wildcats. In the mountains are found rich
mines of coal and iron.
1.-The central plain lies between the Ale
ghany and rocky mountains; east of the
Mississippi river the land is billy, west of
the Mississippi half way to the rocky Noun
tains the land is level and on up near the
Rockies the land is very high, but level.
The lakes are Michigan, Erie, Huron, On
tariO and Superior. The animals are owl,
prairie dog and rattlesnake.
1.-THE ranges of the Pacific highland sys-
tenn are the Cascade and Rocky; they ex-
tend north and south; on the top of the
mountains snow and ice; the land is fer
tile at the foot of the mountains. The ami
mails Of this region are the grizzly bear and
panther; the minerals are gold and silver"

How a Woman Saws a Board.

When q woman her home would decorate
She stops not at obstacles small or great,
But the funniest sight her trials afford
Is when maiden essays TO saw board.
With her knee on a plank, and the plank on
chair,
She poises her saw with knowing air.
Makes several wild raps at the penciled line
And is of with whizz the reverse of fine.
With lips compressed she gets down to work,
And crosses the timber jerkety-jerk;
She can't keep the line, her knee slips askew,
But she keeps to the work till the board splits in
two.
She has damaged the chair, she has ruined the
saw,
Her back is aching, her hands are raw,
And she finds, when she tries to fit her prize,
It's an inch too short of the requisite size.

marriage license, authorizing his union with Miss
A. Hobson, young woman residing at Hoopston,
Ill. Browns suit for the hand of his daughter
did not suit the elder HObson, so the young lady
came here ostensibly to visit friend, but really
to wed Mr.. Brown. They went to the clerks Office,
applied for license, and while waiting for that
Individual TO make out the papers, q telegram
ing Browns arrest upon charge of larceny. The
