Country Homee---A Contrast.

1t has been my privilege to visit
great many country homes. In some
it seemed no wonder that children
grew up tired of the humdrum for
from morning till night the same
routine prevailed day after day.
They must do this or do that, and if
a little tardy there was scolding, and
when they did as directed there was
never SO much as "thank you" Oft
en- | grieved for many boy and girl
just nearing manhood and woman
hood, knowing that their hearts and
minds were starved. See them come
into the sitting-room at evening time,
after the days work on the farm, or
in the kitchen, and see them sit down
so weary and spiritless, with nothing
to interest them-nO nice books or
papers; no innocent games to quick
en- thought; no confidential talk
with father or mother perchance
about some farm product which was
to be raised or sold; 10 bright rooms
to make home attractive. 1t was

A Touching Story.

Congressman Blackburn, of Ken
lucky, is quoted as telling the follow
ing story;
-Four days before l went to the
front with my regiment, we had a
little girl-baby. She is now grown,
and you always see her with me at
any social gathering. Well, in our
army, the furloughs came every rarely
indeed. When we got into line there
was no great chance for a man to get
home.
at was about three years after
ward that a few of us were one night
going down the Mississippi on ariver
steamer. had been sick and was
returning to my command, but pref
ty we'll broken up even then. AS
for money, we did not have any;
and the night was hot as / lay down
on the deck, my throat almost parch-
ed with thirst. Pretty soon a little
girl made her appearance with big
glass of lemonade. | tell you it look
ed good to me.
"She saw me cycling it, stopped a
minute, looked very doubtfully at
me, but finally came up to my side
and said;
"'You look as if you wanted some
thing to drink, and offered me the
glass.
at wasn't quite the square thing
to do, but | took it, and handed it
back to her empty. 1t was like nee
tar to me. Then | most cordially
thanked the little creature, and sent
her away.
"Soon after, just like every child,
she came back, leading her mother
to see the poor soldier. 1t was my
wife, and the little girl was the little
girl was the baby whom | had
last seen as a baby just
born. You can imagine the re
union. They were with my brothers
family, and happened to be going
down the river. That was the only
time during the entire four years
fighting that saw my wife and ba
by; and, under these circuu stances
what man would ever forget ito"

Praying For What We DoNot Expect,

| happened once to be staying with
a gentleman-and along way from
here-and a very religious kind of
a man he was. In the morning he
began the day with a long family
prayer that he might be kept from
sin, and might have a Christ-like
spirit, and the mind that was also in
Jesus Christ; and that we might have
the love of God shed abroad in our
hearts by the Holy Ghost given unto
lis. A good prayer it was, and l
thought, "What a good kind of a
man you must be.'' But about an
hour after happened to be coming
along the farm, and | heard him hal
lowing and scolding, and going on
finding fault with everybody and
everything. And when Icame into
the house with him he began again.
Nothing was right, and he was so
impatient and so quick tempered.
Otis very provoking to be annoy
ed in that way, Daniel. 1 don't
know what servants in these times
are good for but to worry and vex one
with their idle, slovenly ways!"
l did not say anything for a min
ute or two, And then I said, "You
must be very much disappointed,
sir?"
GLOW so, neutrality-suspicious.
81 thought you were expecting to
receive very valuable present this
morning, sir, and / see it has not
come"
"Present, Daniel?"-and he scratch
ed his head as much as to say,
"Whatever can the man be talking
about?"
~ certainly heard you talking
about it, sir" l said coolly.
"Heard me speak of a valuable
present! Why, Daniel, you must be
dreaming. I've never thought Of
such thing"
perhaps not, sir, but you've
talked about it, and l hoped it would
come whilst was here, for | would
dearly love to see it,"
He was getting angry with me now
so thought l would explain.
"You know, sir, this morning Vol
prayed for ChriSt-like spirit, and thu
mind that was in Jesus, and the love
; of God shed abroad in your heart"
go, that's what you mean, is it?'
, and he spoke as if that weren't any
thing at all.
"Now, sir, wouldn't you be rattle
surprised if your prayer was to bean
swered?-if you were to feel nice
gentle, loving kind of spirit coming
down upon you, all patient, and for
7 giving and kind! Why, sir, wouldn'
, come to me quite frightened like
and you'd come in and sit all in {
faint, and recken as you must b.
agoing to die, because you felt hea'
emily minded"
l ''He didn't like it very much, "sait
e Daniel, shut / delivered my testimo
/, ny, and learned lesson for myself
too. You are right, Captain Joe, yOl
are right. We should stare very OF
en- if the Lord was to answer on

the house Of q certain woman in the
Fourth ward, three lots Of groceries,
etc., from one OF our leading mer-
chants, and by the order OF a promi-
nent city official.
This woman was left a widow
Some two years ago, with four small
children. BY diligent efforts she has
succeeded in giving away three Of
them, and the fourth can be had for
the asking, by anyone.
For more than 3 year she has
lived in avOwed adultery with at
least two men, and during the ses-
sion Of the last grand jury she and
her "man" skipped the town to es-
cape the indictments which they
thought were to be found against
them.
During the past summer she kept
an open house OF prostitution and
only gave 1t up TO avoid being
pulled" at the instance Of the in
dignant neighbOrs.
Does the city put up for these sup
plies? If not, who does.
