Denied. Yet Answered.

When Augustine, in his home at Car
thagr, resolved to visit Rome, his mother
wished either TO prevent him from going, CT
to go with him. He would listen to neither
proposal, and resorted to trick to carry out
his plan. One evening he went to the sea-
shore, and his mother followed There
were two chapels dedicated to the memory
of tho martyr Cyprian, and he pressed her
to spend one evening in the church Of the
martyr, while he would accompany a friend
on board ship, there to say farewell.
While she was there in tears praying
and wrestling with Gcd to prevent the
voyage, Augustine sailed for Italy, and
his deceived mother next morning found
herself alone. In quiet resignation she re-
turned to tie city and continued to pray I r
the salvation of her son. Though meaning
well, yet she erred in her prayers for the
journey of Augustine was the means of his
salvation. The denial Of the prayer was in
fact, the answering of 1t. Instead Of the
husk. Col granted rather the substance of
her petition In the conversion of her son.

TEMPEST-TORN TAHITI.
The Society Islands Swept by Hur.
ricans and Torrents.

The same hurricane which ragged 60 dis
astrously over the Samoan Islands March
Is was felt with terrific force at Tahiti,
where the island was swept by wind and
flood, and thousands Of lives were said to
have been lost.
The waters poured over the level lands
forming the outer portion Of the island, and
the capital city, Papeiti, was entirely sub
merged in the torrent Houses were carried
away, the public buildings ruined and de-
vastation was spread everywhere.
The interior of the island Is mountain
QUA Some Of ths pscrls managed to reach
these high lands and thus escaped the flood
but the number who perished Is far larger
and vas beyond calculation.
The level tracts Of land In the island are
fertile, and the chief dependence of the in
habitants for food has been upon the fruits
and vegetables raised there. These crops
were destroyed and the people who escaped
the flood found themselves confronted by the
danger Of famine.
Tahiti is about 1900 miles from Samoa, in
an east southeast direction. 1t Is thirty
two miles long, and the island Is under
French control. It's capital city, Papeiti,
has about a thousand inhabitants. On the
Island OF Tonga thirty persons perished and
tho storm did great damage.

1t is said that an old Scotch elder had once
a serious dispute with his minister at an
elders meeting He said some things that
nearly broke the minister's heart. Afterward
he went home, and tho minister went home
too The next morning the elder came down,
and his wife said to him: ''Ye look sad
John; what is the matter with YEP "Ah," +"
he replied, ''you would look sad, too, if you
had such dream as have dreamed that
l had been at the elders meeting, and had
said some hard things and grieved
the minister; and when he went home
thought he died and went to heaven;
and when got to tho gate OF heaven out
came the minister and put out his hand to
take me, saying: Come along, John; there's
nae strife up here; Pm happy to SEQ ye' !"

ANNIRILATED HER FAMILY.
A Despairing Mother Destroys Her
self and Three Children.

Mrs. Margaret Kinlein and her three chill
dren were burned to death in their home at
Milwaukee, Wis, early in the morning. The
house is a small two story frame building
two doors from Walnut street, and Mrs.
Kinlein with her chdron, occupied the three
rooms on the lower floor. Upstairs an old
man named Lawrence Jung lived with his
son and two daughters, and they were awak-
ened about 2 o'clock by the smell of smoke
which seemed to come from the room below.
The son got up and going outside saw smoke
pouring from the lowsr rooms. He smashed
in a window but got no response, and then
turned i'm Il fire alarm.
In the middle room on the lower floor, the
doors of which had been tightly closed, the
charred bodies Of Mrs. Kinlein and two sons,
John and George, aged six and four years re-
spectively, were found- Later the body of
the infant son Richard, aged two years, was
found I'm the basement, n hole having burned
through tire floor, through which the body
had fallen. There was every indication that
the mother had deliberately burned herself
and her children to death by building fire
bsneath the bed in which they all slept Mrs,
Kinlsin lost her husband about year ago.

"More Than Conouerors."

A conqueror may compel subm,s ZION, but
he cannot compel love. Tho conquered ma
ton may be filed with hatred and thirs: s,r
revenge. Christ is more than O conaueror,
for He not merely subdues HIS people under
His sway, but Ho draws out their affections
to Himself; His enemies are thus changed
into loving and devoted friends The perse-
cutting Saul, breathing out threat. nings and
slaughter, and making havoc Of the church,
became the devoted apostle Paul, to whom
ITO live was Christ" The Christian is smore
than conqueror." The tribulation, distress
and persecution but lead him all the closer
to Christ; so that he not merely submits to
these seeming Ills but he rejoicSs in tribula-
tion, and actually thanks Christ for sending
it. The sting is taken out Of The persecution.
and tho Christian rejoices that he is counted
worthy to suffer for Christ's sake.-George
JeGreu

An English brickmaker, after careful in
gestigation, reported that among his men the
beer drinker who made the fewest number OF

To throw a bomb, to set q house on fire, to
wreck railroad train, are inconsiderable
offenses compared to the deeds of the men
who have introduced inso millions OF homes

Christian public tolerate such criminals
abroad?

STANLEY AND EMIN.
A Report That They are Marching To-
gether to the East Coast.


(. Adyices received at Brussels, Belgium,
from Stanley Falls state that Arabs who have
arrived there report that Henry M. Stanley
and Emin Pasha were heard from in Febru-
ary. They were then marching toward
Zanzibar, with several thousand men, women
and children. They aBo had COCO tusksi of
ivory The Arabs who brought news of
Stanley and Emin arrived at Stanley Falls in
February. They claimedto have seen STAN
ley several months before that time.
: This report says the New York Post, seems
to be q confirmation of the rumor, published
recently, that Stanley was ON his way to tho
East Coast, and 1t would also indicate that
plan mentioned In the letter just published,
and that the latter had determined finally to
return to civilization with all the men,
women and children attached to his COM
,mand. This would apparently fulfil the main
object &c Stanley expedition, although there
Is political side to it yet to be explained.

Ripeness in CHARACTER.

Rev. Charles H. Spurgeon beautifully H.
lustrates the marks of ripeness III Christian
is beauty. Ripe fruit has its own perfect
beauty. AS the fruit ripens the sun tints 1t
with surprising loyelness, and the colors
deepen till the beauty Of the fruit Is equal to
the beauty of the blossom and in some re-
spects superior. There is in ripe Christians
the beauty of realized sanctification, which
the Word Of God knows by the name of
''beauty of holiness"
Another mark of ripe fruit is tenderness.
The young, green fruit Is hard and stone-iike;
but the ri. fruit is soft, yields to the pres
sure can almost be moulded, retains the
mark of tho finger. So it is with the mature
Christian; he is noted for tenderness OF
spirit
Tho unripe fruit is sour, and perhapsit ought
to be, or else we should cat all the fruits
while they are yet green. IL may, therefore,
be in the order of grace a fit thing that IN
the youthful Christian some sharpness should
be formed which will ultimately be removed.
AS we grow in grace we are sure to grow In
charity, sympathy and love; we shall have
greater and moro intense affection for the
person of Him .'whom having not seen, VIE
loves" we shall have greater delight in the
