'e like what hunter tells of when he

be like what a hunter tells of when he
was pushing his canoe far up north in
the winter and amid the ice foes, and q
hundred miles, as he thought. from any
other human beings. He was startled
one day as he heard q stepping on the
Ice, and he cooked the rifle ready to
meet anything that came near. He found
man, barefooted and insane from long
exposure, approaching him. Taking
him into his canoe and kindling fires to
warm him, he restored him and found
out where he had lived and took him to
his home and found all the village in
great excitement. A hundred men we're
searching for this lost man, and his
family and friends rushed out to meet
him, and. as had been agreed, at his
first appearance bellswere rung and guns
We're discharged and hanquets spread,
and the rescuer loaded with presents.
Well, when some of you step out of this
wilderness where you have been chilled
and torn end sometimes lost amid the
..eeebergs. into the warm greetings of all
the villages of the glorified, and your
friends rush out to give you welcoming
q kiss. the news that there is another
sonl forever saved will call the caterers
OF Heaven to spread the banquet, and
the bell men to lay hold of the rope in
the tower, and while the chalices click
ut the feast, and the bells clang from the
towers, it will be a scene SO uplifting I
pray God may be there to take part in
the celestial merriment. And now do
you not think the prayer in Solomon's
song, where he compared Christ to a
reindeer coming down in the night to
pasture on the plains, would make on
exquisitely appropriate peroration to my
sermon: Until the day break and the
shadows fee away be thou like the roe
or a young hart upon the mountains of
Bether."

A Tralllp's Cheek.

The cheek OF the tramp is growing
bigger.
The other day an attenuated and
strangely clean tramp knocked at the
back door of suburban residence near
Sewickley. and drew very affecting
picture Of his half-starved condition.
II have not tasted bite since noon
Yesterday" he said.
1t happened that it was half an hour
after supper time when the tramp
called, and the servants had finished
everything edible except some lobster
salad. The good-natured cook gave
this to the tramp and some bread and
some coffee. The tramp was grateful
and cleared the board before he left.
An hour later there was ring at the
front door bell. The master OF the
house went to the door. He found
there very thin and very angry man,
who held one hand on his stomach
while he gesticulated with the other.
He explained his presence thus: II am
nothing but poor wanderer, sir, but l
have my rights. Your cook induced me
to eat some lobster salad short time
ago against my doctors advice, and now
I'm SO full of pain that I believe I'm
about to die"
The cook came into the hall at this
point and explained who the thin and
irate individual was.
"What do you want now?" asked the
householder with great respect.
"Some whisky, Of course was the
tramp's reply. "You don't want me- to
die right here on your lawn"
His nerve obtained the spirituous
recognition he demanded tttsbetrgh

We All Know This Kind.

Mr.. Brandreth met them at the door
of his mothers cottage. 1t was very
small cottage on the outside, with
good deal of stained glass en- evidence
in loaded sashes; where the sashes were
not loaded and the glass not stained,
the panes were cut up into very large
ones,t with little ones around them.
Everything was very old-fashioned in
side. The door opened directly into
wainscoted square hall, which had
large fireplace with cleaning brass
andirons, and carved mantel carried
to the ceiling. twas both baronial and
colonial in its decoration; there was
part Of. suit of imitation armor under
a pair Of moose antlers on one wall, and
at one side of the fireplace there was
spinning-wheel, with q tuft of flax ready
to be spun. There were Japanese
swords on the lowest mantel-shelf, to-
gether with fans and vases; long old
flint-lock musket stretched across the
panel above. Mr.. Brandreth began to
show things to Annie, and to tell how
little they cost, as soon as the ladies en-
tered. His mothers voice called from
above, "Now, Percy, you stop till I get
there!" and in moment or two she ap-
peared from behind a portiere in one
corner. Before she shook hands with
the ladies, or allowed any kind of greet
ing, she pulled the portiere aside, and
made Annie admire the snug conceal
ment of the staircase. Then she made
her 90 upstairs and see the chambers,
and the secondhand colonial bedsteads,
and the andirons everywhere, and the
old chests of drawers and their brasses
and she told her some story about each,
and how Percy picked it up and had it
repaired. When they came down, the
son took Annie in hand again and
walked her over the ground-foor, end
ing with the kitchen, which was in the
taste of an old New England kitchen,
with hard-seated high-back chairs, and
a kitchen table with curior1sly turned
legs, which he had picked up in the
hen house of neighboring farmer for a
song There was an authentic crane in
the dining-room fireplace, which he had
found in a heap Of scrap-iron at black
smiths shop, and had got for next to
nothing. The sideboard he had got at
an old secondhand shop in the North
End; and he believed it was an heir
loom from the house Of one Of the old
ministers of the North End Church.
Everything, nearly, in the Brandreth
cottage was an heirloom, though Annie
could not remember afterward any OBJ
iect that had been an heirloom in the
B1andreth family.-W. d. Hoacells.
