CHRISTENING.

To-day saw little calm-eyed child Where soft lights rippled and the shadows
 tarried
 Within the church's shelter arched and aisled- Peacefully wondering, to the altar carried. White-robed and sweet in semblance of a
 flower,
 White as the daisies that adorned the chancel; 1; Borne like a gift-Jhe young wife's natural
 dower-
 Offered to God as her most precious hansel. Then ceased the music, and the little one Was silent; and the multitude assembled, Harbened; and when of Father and of Son He spoke, the pastors deep voice broke and
 trembled. But she, the child. knew not the solemn wo rds And suddenly yielded to a troubled wailing As helpless as the cry of frightened birds, Whose untried wings for flights are un-
 availing. How like is this. I thought, to older folk The blessing falls: we call it tribulation, And fancy that we wear a sorrows yoke Even at the moment of our consecration. -Ge0rqe Parsons LathrOp, in Harpsr's Ndqazine

Discovered His Charm.

An Englishman who had travelled some distance in a stage coach was met by friend. who asked:
 How did you enjoy the rideP"
 "Oh, it was glorious!
 "I saw that you had companion"
 "Yes; charming fellow; don't re call now of what his charm consists. but he is very, very agreeable, nevcrthe- less"
 You mean that fellow who came over with you in the stage?" some one asked.
 Yes"
 His name is Jones. He's deaf and dumb"
 "Aw, we'll" the E1glishman re- piled, that explains his charm" "- ArEanSaw TrareLer

 Tom sprang up "Who-who-are you, sir?'
 No matter, young man, no matter who I am. am going to that safe, You go"
 "If you will sit down and wait, Mr. Dodlins will be in, sir; he has only gone home for bite
 "A bite! Yes. first one and then an- other, for an hour. Here! you take your seat and be quiet, young man."
 '1f you will tell me your name"
 "No matter. Take your seat, sirr' With his lifted cane the visitor assumed a threatening attitude.
 "I am going to do my duty" mutt tered Tom. Rushing to his employers desk, placing his foot on the spring in the floor, and pressing hard, Tom heard the safe door go-slaml'
 Young man!' shouted the old man, angrily, his face reckoning.
 'I must look after my employers in- terests," said Tom. firmly.
 "Open that safe door, young mani"
 '.I can't, sir, don't know the com- bination."
 Must I wait till William Dodlins comes back?'
 ''Yes, sirI''
 "Where's the telephone?'
 'I'll call up MT. Dodlins and tell him how it was.
 Ding-ding-dingl went the telephone in William Dodlins' dining-room.
 Whats that?" said the man, who was enjoying his one hundredth bite. 'Pity can't eat without interruption! however"
 He rose and went to the telephone, lowing down his big red ear.
 "Ohr' he mutterred. that's Tom! We'll" he called to Tom, ''what's wanted?"
 "Man here that wouldn't give his name wanted to get into the safe; he was very commanding. Of course wouldn't let him, and touched of that spring, and"
 What kind of man?" asked Will. fam DOdlins
 ''An old man, and has red com- forter and crooked-head cane"
 'Dear mer' muttered William bod. lins, '.if it isn't fatherr E.
 He now shrieked through the &le- phone: You did all right, but an- other time let him go to the safe. It is my-my father; I will be down im- mediately after"
 He stopped. The rest of his sentence he finished at the table. ''After-I have a few more bites. Father will calm down and be like a zephyr, l know He will like the boy for stand,- ing up to his duty. Of course, when so many evil-minded people are about, if father won't give his name, he must take the consequences. He then rose. left the house, and hurried to his office.
 Night came again. Tom again got his own supper. Miss Bartlett onca more called and found a jubilee going on in the Sherry kitchen.
 "Just think of it, Miss Bartlettr' ex- claimed Mrs. Sperry. still nursing her If old man Dodlins didn't call on Tom, and Tom touched of the spring wouldn't let him into the safe, you know-and the old man liked him for it, you see, and says he is the boy who wouldn't swerve a hair that is his language-not hair for Queen Victoria, and-and-he is going to employ Tom and give him bigger pay"
 With what intense satisfaction Tom Sperry looked up and grinned.-ReU. E.. 4. Rand, in Interior.

FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
GOOD AND POOR LUCK.

''If the face in the moon Wear a frown--alas, Luck will be poor till the month shall pass If the face in the moon Wear a srile-why, then, Luck will be good, till it frown again." So runs a verse That used to say; have learned it, since, In another way. 'If face be marred By frown-al6s! Luck will be poor till the frown shall pass 1! If a face be bright With smile-why, then, Luck will be good till it frowns again" If the first be true 'Twould be hard to say; But the last, if you will, You can prove, each day.

"Bless him! l say, exclaime d old Miss Bartlett, admiringly. Tom was a great favorite with the old lady.
 How does Tommy like his place at DodIins' ?" she now inquired.
 ''Splendidr' declared Tom. And Dodlins trusts me, too. He leaves a lot of money near me; leaves the safe door open"
 "Yes." said his mother, ''but he seems to look out and see that the door can be closed pretty quick. He has got spring under his desk"
 Not real bilin' spring?" said old Miss Bartlett That's handy if you are thirsty"
 "Ohr' explained Tom, ''itis spring to put your foot on, you know, of steel; and that connects with the safe door, and shuts it all of a sudden-that's in case any body came in and wanted to be up to mischief, and run off with what is in the safe; take money, you know. That spring will do the busi- ness, you know. pretty quick.
 'I should think it would. 'mazin' quick" declared the old neighbor. "What progressive world we do live in! Things was different when l was boy-girl, I mean"
 'Yes," said Tom, wisely and with the air of one who has seen both BOs- ton and the tip of the north pole; 'yes, it is go-ahead age."
 ''Dodlins is smart" affirmed Miss Bartlett. ''As for that matter, his father before him, Simon Dodlins, was smart in his day. He is a lively old man still. You ever see him?'
 "No, ma am."
 ''He will give you q call one day. He is a fussy old feller. but 8 good man, if l do say it. He has notions, you know. V hat he wants now is somebody he can trust so he says; yes, somebody he can trust
 "He might take our Tommy" " thought Mrs. Sperry, but modestly did not express her opinion If Tommy could get more wages it would not go bad at all. "
 The next day Tom was on duty in the office of William Dodlins. It was noon. Said Toms employer: "I have plenty of time, and l will run home for bite; if you need me use the tele- phone; will be back in time to close up."
 "All right, sir" replied Tom.
 Ieavinp the safe door open, William Dodlins adjourned to his house for ''a bite''-a good many of them.
 It was very still in the office. The open fire cracked in the grate. A fly came out of his hiding-place and buzzed in the sunshine flooding the window.
 "Just two sounds herer' thought Tom.
 Hark! A third sound was audible on the stairway leading to the office door, and in walked man somewhere on the farther side of sixty. Three things were very prominent: an immense red handkerchief swathing his neck, very keen eyes behind his iron-bowed spec tacles. and cane with a crooked head With this cane he pompously pounded on the floor, and. looking at Tom, said: ..Eh, eh, young man"'
 .Yes, sir," said Tom; "can l do any thing for you?"
 Il dunno. Where is your master?"

JuDoE CLARK FIRED on. N.--"Cute"
Bengo was in town last Thursday from
Lynch's Prairie, and brought word
that on the previous night someone
had fired two shots at Judge q. w.
CLARK from ambush. The Judge had
been over to see sick child Of Gee
Benge, three miles distant, aud start
ed back about 8 or 10 o'clock. lie had
gone but short distance and when
passing a field his horse became
frightened and begun to shy. At the
same time someone raised up in the
weeds and fred, but without effect
When the horse had run forty or fifty
yards a second shot was fired. Whore
the first shot went is unknown, but
the second whistled past the judge s
head and doubtless had the result TO
greatly accelerate the horses pace.
considerable animosity has been dis
playing itself in the ighborhood for
some time and this attempted assas-
sination is presumed TO be but anoth-
er chapter in the story. The burning
of the school house recently, in that
neighborhood and just after the as.
signment OF Judge Olark's son as
teacher, is among the overt acts re-
ported. To be sure, there may be no
connection between the two events
narr ated, but yet they may have been
prompted by the same spirit. II such
be the case there is certainly a bat
state Of affairs existing there.
