FROM HIS GENERAL AGENT.

Dear Dewitt has been some time since
| wrote you last. AS a general thing |
have go ID time in my profession. You
are aware of the fact that have been your
best agent for obtaining recruits. All
have to do is to make drunkards, and the
drunkards fill out the long catalogue of
crimes that send mems souls down to your
keeping. Sometimes | am bounded after
by fanatics and cranks, and l grow despon-
dent and almost come to the conclusion
that you have deserted me, but just at the
proper time you get in your work and
am relieved. | am aware of the fact that
| am being closely pursued by lot of
fanatic preachers, followed by few cranky
laymen, but by your close attention and
careful watch I hope to be able to render
service for you many more years, and send
many more thousand souls to your keep
ing. lshall look specially after the young,
for they are the Sunday school of our
cause, and it is by and through them that
| will be permitted to live. l take great
pleasure and delight in preparing the
young for special places, such as asylums,
jails, penitentiaries, and especially am
proud when | find that one of my young
students has so far graduated in crime and
blood that he can deliberately walk upon
the gallows. In order to carry my point
and to educate the young in this direction,
| work in stealthy way to keep down
public schools and to keep the young igno-
rant, especially of the Bible, will intro
duce baseball game on Sunday, as
starter to keep children away from Sun
day schools, and gradually | will get them
interested in evening horse racing, and
then | will organize gambling clubs in
handy and convenient places to me, where
7 can keen ttrvn if necessary. day and
night under mysupervision. Really I have
done more, and sEAtl continue to do more
to people hell than any agent you have in
the field, for it is fact that nearly all
your agents work through me. | have
great advantage in this world. l can come
nearer satisfying man than the church can,
because l am in keeping with his depraved
nature. l have accomplished more daring
deeds of blood than any agent you ever
had. And as long as l am allowed perso-
nal liberty. l will continue in this course

Aunt Patty's Daisy.

Daisy was Aunt Patty's COW. She gave
rich milk, and was very gentle. Aunt
Patty made great pet of her, and always
MIXED her herself
By and by auntie felt too old to take
care of her cow and hens and garden, and
concluded to go and live in the village
with her sister. e.
The COW was sold to a neighbor, who
felt very much pleased to get such a good
one as he knew Daisy to be.
But he changed his mind when he tried
10 milk her. She seemed very cross cow,
indeed. She put down her head, and
shook her horns at him, kicked, and sent
the pail across the yard. He tried again
and again, but it was no use. She would
not let him come near her.
Away he went to Aunt Patty.
81 thought your COW was gentle" said
he; but can do nothing with her"
Auntie was surprised to hear this Of her
pet She thought minute.
cpl tell you what to do" she said.
"Daisy is used to me, you know, and Sue
does not like a change. Go home, and
put on your wifes sun bonnet and one of
her skirts, and think you will have no
trouble.
MAYBE that is the matter" said the
good man, and went home to try the ex-
pertinent. Sure enough, when he came
in sun-bonnet and print skirt, with the
pail on his arm, Daisy made no objection
She was as quiet as she had been with
Aunt Patty, and gave pailful of rich vel
low milk.

The Power of Simple Confidence.

A young man, distressed about his soul,
had confded his difficulties to a friend,
who discerned very quickly that he was
striving to obtain everlasting life by great
efforts. He spoke of ''sincere pray ers"
and "heartfelt desires" after salvation, but
continually lamented that he did not feel
any different in spite of it all"
His friend did not answer him at first,
but presently interrupted him with the
inquiry "a
"W., did you ever learn to foat?"
eyes, Ibid, was the surprised reply.
F'Aud did you find it easy to learn2 p
''Not at first" he answered.
"What was the difficulty 2" his friend
pursued.
"Well, the fact was, I could not be still !;
| could not believe or realize that the
water would hold me up without any effort
of my own, so | always began to struggle,
and of course down | went at orce."
''And then %
"Then l found that must give up all
the struggle, and just rest on the strength
of the water to bear me up. 1t was easA
enough after that ; | was able to lie back
in the fullest confidence that | should
never sink"
''And is not Gods word more worthy of
your trust than the changea5le sea? He
does not bid you wait for feelings He
commands you ust to rest in Him, to be-
lieve His word and accept His gift. His
message of life reaches down to you in
your place of ruin and death, and His
word to you now is, The gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ, our
Lord" Rom. vi. 23.-Canada Presby-

A New Pest.

A new pest has been causing great dam
age to the orange trees in various portions
of Florida, which is described by cores
pondent of the Country Gentleman, who
writes:
A small insect appeared in countless
numbers on the under side of the leaves,
sucking their juices and causing them to
fall off. Many of the trees were entirely
defoliated and cast off all their fruit
Some of the insects could be seen with the
eye, unaided, but the great majority only
by the aid of magnifying glasses. To me
it appeared colorless, almost transparent,
very active, constantly running over the
leaves. There seemed to be nothing about
it to entitle it to the appellation of spider"
which it received, except tLat it spun
web on the under side of the leaf. 1t is
generally termed the California red
spider" but this must be misnomer, for
it is not red, and it is very easily killed by
spraying. The California spider is said to
be very tenacious of life. A mild wash of
lime and sulphur, or whale oil soap, or pot
ash, sprayed on the trees, kills this spider.

"Would you search his mouth p

"Would you look in hollow tooth?'
I solemnly declared that such a thing as
