A VALUABLE PAINTING.
One OF Cromwell Which Was Brought to
America by q ThieE

America by n Thief
About 1887 the ship Orient, Captain
Bailey. of Gardiner. Me-, was lying at
dock in Havre under charter for the
United States, when man came on
board who shipped as common sailor.
Soon officers came to Captain Bailey,
who told him that painting OF great
frame at its place Of deposit in England,
that they had traced the suspected
thief across the channel and on board
his ship, and asked permission to
search the vessel. A most thorough
search was made, Captain Bailey assist
ing. but without avail. From then un-
til the ship left port she was closely
guarded by the authorities day and
night. AS the voyage was drawing to
a close the new sailor confronted Cap
tain Bailey and asked for private
audience, when he confessed to him
the fact that the picture was safely
hidden on board the ship and asked
for advice and assistance. The captain
refused any assistance and advised that
the property be returned to the owner.
Failing in this. Captain Bailey bought
the picture, rs he expressed it. for
few dollars and brought it to his home
with the intention of restoring it doubt
lessly and claiming the reward offered.
But the ship was chartered for long
voyage in different direction, and the
picture was left behind. In those days
communication with England required
as many weeks as it does days now.
Time sped on--voyage after voyage
was made. Family and business cares
increased, names and events were for
gotten, and still the picture hung
against the wall in Captain Bailey's
parlor until death and the purchase by
Mr.. Davenport. OF Gardiner, brought
it once more into prominence, and the
above facts were elucidated. This
painting is the famous one of Cromwell
the remains of Charles L.
Boston Letter.

! THE cLEARlNe.up SHOWER.

When the skies, low and ashcn, are riven with
rain,
And thro' the wet woods the shrill east winds
complaint
When day after day, storm .tattered and chill,
The dull yapors mantle dim valley and hill
How wistfully watching the gray heavens
lower
We wait for some sign OF the clearing-up shower.
When life means but WEAKNESS, struggle aid
pain,
And earth Joys are empty, and fieeting as vain;
When the burden of heart.ache and trouble and
care
Seems more than the overtaxed spirit car bear
Mid the turmoil and gloom Of that crucial hour,
o, let us remember the clearlng-up shower.
There are dark disappointments that meet us
each dag,
And bitter surprises that lurls by TIE way;
There are stormy encounters, inglorious ro
treats,
And wounds, and betrayals, and crushing de-
feats;
But 10! when disasters our courage oerpower,
With sunburst and song comes the clearing-up
shower.
When the dreary December of life is at hand,
And we journey down hill thro desolate land.
And swiftcr the mile-stonts fit by one by one
In the gray after-glow of a day that is done,
And the night cometh down, with the wind
'iven RAIN
o, let us remember tho oden refrain,
Past the darkness thore dawneth the glad morn
ing hour,
And this-thank Cod this is the clearing.up

Jyp and Joe.

Little Jyp and Joe had tried all the
vacation to catch a fish. Every morn
ing they took their little fish-poles and
went out and sat down by grandpa's big
pond and cast in their lines and kept
still, and did not speak word for ten
long minutes. But no club. no perch,
not even a minnow, would bite, and Jyp
and Joe thought that grandpas fish
were very selfish. 1t was the last day
of the visit and they had come down to
fish in the pond for the last time.
Goodbye, you stingy fish," said Joe.
Goodbye, you unkind fish," said Jyp,
with a vexed little twitch of her line,
as she jumped up-and, what do you
think2 AS she twitched her line out,
there was silver CLEAN and twinkle
up in the air, and fat little chub came
flying right around Jyp's hat, ard hit
her cheek with its wet side!
Joe looked on with big eyes. ut 10
fish! 1t is! 1t is, / say! Hurrah!
We have caught fish" They ran to
the house as fast as they could. the fish.
hook and all, in Jyp's fat little hand.
"a fish! fish," they just screamed
as they came in sight Grandpa, and
grandma, and papa and mamma came
out to see-and they were so excited
over that fish that the whistle blew and
they were too late for the train, and so
had to stay until the next day! Yes.
they really and truly did!-Babyland.

RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL.


There were seventy conversions re-
Gently in Cobleigh Seminary, NagasnkL
Japan.
The Kohls are said to be moro in-
clined to Christianity than any other
natives of Assam.
True religion and virtue give a
cheerful and happy turp to tho mind OF
all true pleasures, and even procure
for us the highest.
1t does not require great learning
to be n Christian and be convinced OF
tho truth of the Bible. 1t requires an
honest heart and n willingness to obey
God. Barnes.
The Mission OF the American Bup-
:ist Missionary Union among the Teu-
gus is reaping astonishing results.
Since the beginning of 1889 there nave
been over l, 900 baptisms in the Angole
district, and AL in the Vinukonda dis
trict.
The Bishop OF Tennessee is building
substantial dormitory near Fisk Uni
versity for the accommodation OF
young colored men whom the Diocese
will aim to train for the ministry o!
the Episcopal church in connection
with the University and by arrange
mont with its authorities.
Miss Jay, who has been evangcliz-
ing the Moorish troops in Algeria, says:
That what seemed to astonish them
most was the fact that il they believed
in Jesus Christ they must leave their
sins One OF the soldiers said: Truly
your religion is better than ours; for
we can have our prophet and our sins
too"
1t is always great abuse OF tho
Bible to place upon its language false
meaning. TO make it teach what it does
not teach and to substitute our infer
ence from it for its actual teaching
Every one. in reading the Book, should
be exceedingly careful to seek its true
and exact meaning and then be content
with that meaning.-N. Y. Independ-
ent.
I'm lecture at Now York young
convert from brahminism. Mr.. Vishun,
gave the number of Christians now in
India, including Protestants and Cath
olics, as about three millions, and said
that If the increase in the number of
conversions should continue as in the
last ten years, the whole of India, with
its population of over two hundred and
fifty millions, would be christianized
within n century
Tho fidelity Of some Chinese con-
vcrts may be learned from nickname
given few of them living near Shoa-
WI. They are there called the ''Kucel-
in-bed Sect" and some heathen declar-
ed that the Christians always went to
sleep on their knees. In the p ace and
at the time when their neighbors would
suppose they would be asleep, these
Christians were at prayer.
In several towns near Bombay Of
fcrs have been made to the missionaries
to open schools among the natives. no
objection being raised to the assurance
that the education would be on strictly
Christian principles. A lack Of money
to occupy these centers was the only
reason for refusal, as freedom to teach
the Bible was fully granted by the
Brahmins, who desired the thorough
teaching and high moral influence of
the missionaries Several societies of
Brahmins in Southern India have been
formed for the sole purpose OF studying
the Bible.

FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS
MlscHlEvous ROSE.

Our little Moilie Mischief
(Her proper name is Rose)
is always busy as bee,
And every body knows
The bees are full OF business 8.
The livelong summer day.
And so is Molly Mischief,
But in quite different way.
Her little rosy fingers,
So pretty in their place,
Are often tied together
Behind her in disgrace.
Because. II mamma leaves thing
For only half q minute,
They, like fiuttering butterflies
Are sure to settle in 1t.
One Sunday, after meeting,
She vanished from our sight
But no one saw the going 81
OF our little wandering sprite.
We ran around to seek hor
Among the girls and boys,
And found her III the organ loft,
A-hunting for re noise"
And once. when we forbade her
To pick the currants red,
We heard her in the bushes,
And this is what she said:
80 title lonesome babies,
Is you afwaid to stays
Come to your own, dear muzzer,
I'll hide you safe away"

four of these signals: The ball hoisted
above black pennant indicates that
the vessel signaled to is running into
danger" The ball hoisted above a
square flag indicates the sentence,
"Fire or leak; want assistance" The
ball below the pennant indicates that
the signaler is "short of provisions;
starving" A square flag above the
ball indicates that ~ am aground; want
assistance" An endless combination
of these represent all that men at sea
desire to say to one another.
All sorts OF business transactions are
also carried on by means Of the flags.
Steamers have come to Sandy Hook

graphed the Western Union operator
at Sandy Hook to hold the vessel for

flags. At the end of the day the signal
came from the tower. "Go to England,
Queenstown" And once more the
vessels prov is turned toward the open
sea. Before going she would display
the signals p ID S, "Report me to

In addition to the code signals, each
vessel has her own private signals rep
resenting her name. Every vessel az
she is launched is given set OF letters
by her respective government. No
other vessel hying that governments
