ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, March n.-About s
o'clock Saturday night three masked men
went iuto the general store of Young &
Co., at Forbes, No., twenty-five miles
above St. Joseph, and with navy revolvels
compelled the clerks and about fifteen peo-
pie to hold up their hands. A systematic
robbery was then begun and all the money

safe, containing 5000, was locked. The

Words Fifty Spoken.

There is a very interesting story
about an old gentleman who stopped at
a public fountain to take drink of
water. A young lady was ahead of
him, but she politely served the old
man first; as he thanked her, he said,
" l hope you have drank at the Foun-
tain of living Water?" Her face
flushed, but she did not make any re-
ply. A year afterward, in distant
city, the old gentleman was called to
visit sick lady, who was not expected
to live. She smiled at him as he came
into the room, and said: " Do you re-
member me? You asked me once if !
had drank at the Fountain of Living
Water. thought you were rude, then,
to speak in that way to stranger; but
never could forget that question. II
led me to the Living Fountain, and
now l am going to him." This is 6
true story, and ought to help you anC
me to understand how easy it is tC
speak a word for Jesus, if we really
want others to serve him.-PdnSy.

Cost of College Education for Girls.

AT Vassar College the smallest sum
on which girl can pay her bills, aside
from scholarship aid, is about $3.50. OF
this amount 500 is for tuition and $500
for board and washing. A genius in
thrift-and Vassar sees such genius
now and then-can buy her books and
stationery and supply herself with the
small incidentals dear to school girls
for the remaining $50. Car fare, if
she goes home between terms, and the
larger items of dress, are not included.
Necessary expenses at Smith, Wellesley
and Bryn-Mawr do not vary greatly
from these figures. Five hundred dol
lars would represent the average yearly
expenditure of no small proportion of
the girl students in eastern schools.
Six hundred dollars is liberal allow
ance and 800 more than luxurious

An Old Invention Revived.

The incandescent electric light is

generally supposed. The parlor of a
dwelling house in Salem, Mass, was
lighted every evening during the month
of July, 1859, by two lamps, either of
which could be used by turning but
ton. The current was supplied by a
galvanic battery of about forty-siX gal

DO Your Best Always.

People will overlook mistakes in one
whom they see to be thoroughly sim
cere and in earnest. So put your life
into even the smallest task, and the
doing of it will have powerful moral
influence upon others. Whether you
preach, study, sell goods, till the soil,
saw wood, clean lamps, cook food or
milk cows, do your best. There is no
task so small, no honest occupation so
common or mental, that it can not be
dignifed and ennobled by the charac-
ter of the doer. Bear in mind that not
the thing you do, so much as the doing,
reveals the character, the true man.
Everything you do can be made the reve-
lation of great soul. | have great
respect for the German who saws my
wood and cleans my yard. He is one
of the few men | have ever known who
does everything in the best possible
manner. He has done this sort of
! work for me for year, and constantly
improves. l know of barber who has
endeavored to make the best possible
! barber and citizen. lie has succeeded.
While no other barber in the city is
/ even thought of as being worthy of any
| consideration as citizen, this man Is
thoroughly respected. He is constantly
charging his shop and force, but al
ways has more than he can do. There
is perfect order in his place. Men must
act as gentlemen while there. They
find there the best papers and maya
zines, but no police literature, nothing
a Christian gentleman would not take
into the family room. The barber is
respected in his church, is made a
member of the city council, has model
home life. He has dignilied his occu-
patton. His life is a success. -Rev.

An Editors Troubles.

eve were the victim yesterday of one
of the most distressing accidents ever
known in this state,'' writes the editor
of the MiHm PENN Blade. Yester-
day morning our wife took occasion to do
the family washing, having been kept
from it earlier in the week by being
very busy putting up our winter sup
ply of apple butter. Among other ar
tcles of wearing apparel which she in
Guided in the wash was our white vest,
rightly thinking that the white vest
DAYS were about over, and intending to
do it up and lay it away against the re-
turn of the next picnic season. Now,
unbeknown to her, in the lower right
hand pocket of this vest there was a
large roll of bills, twelve ones and
two-S14 in all. She did not discover
the roll, and after having washed the
garment thoroughly she hung it on the
line in the backyard to dry. All might
yet have been well had it not been for
Mr.. Ferdenbaugh's large brindle cow,
which is well known to most of our
citizens. While our wife was in the
parlor visiting with Mrs. Parmley, who
called to see how to make her grape
preserves iell, this beast-she deserves
no better name-broke through our
back gate and deliberately ate up our
vest, money and all. When our wife
reached the scene of trouble the beast
was Just swallowing the last bill with
evident relish. Our wife seized the
mop and rushed at the marauding in
truder, but she only tossed her head
kicked sideways with both hind feet,
and, leaping lightly over the fence,
trotted off, switching her tail defiantly.
Neither the vest nor the money, we
are sorry to say, seemed to have any
bad effect on her scOundrelly good
health. Our wife Immediately informed
us of the accident, and we instantly
called on Mr.. Peterborough and de-
manded that the animal be slaughtered
doubling not that we should find oul
money in the first of that suite of stom-
achs with which we learn from physi
ology the cow is provided. This Mr.
Ferdenbaugh refused to assent to. He
pleaded that he was poor man, and
as he had recently bought the COW, thai
all his ready money was in her. We
naturally replied that all our ready
money was in her, too, but it failed tC
move him. 1t was a sad affair, take i
all around, but one about which moth
ing can be done. Our wife's excuse
for not looking in the pockets before
she began her laundry operations il
that she had gone through our pockets
for money for twenty years and neve
found any, and had, therefore, become
discouraged And, if the reader will
believe it, that beast of cow had thu
effrontery, about the middle of thu
afternoon, to lie down under tree di
rectly opposite our house and content
edly chew her demonstrating on

Miss Muffet.


PRAY tell. who's not heard of Miss Muffet,
And heard of the curds and the whey,
And laughed that spider
Should sit down beside her
And frighten the poor thing away
And who has not scofed at Miss Mufet
And said &C. If I'd been in her place,
I'd scorned as lady
To he such baby
And cover myself with disgrace?'
But II we but think for moment
Wen find that we each of us do,
Like little Miss Mufret,
who sat ON a tufret,
Have fears of some big spider, too
The boy at his school and his study
Knows well, when he's tempted to play,
That sloth is a spider
And lazy outrider
who'd drag him from work quite away.
The girl in her home who is seeking
Some life to make happy each day
Must watch lest the spider
OF fashion, beside her,
Shall lead her in follys own way.
The man who the cup often touches
May fall ere he reaches the goal
The poisonous spider
OF rum and of cider
win ruin both body and soul.
The sheer of the world" is a spider
That Christians Oft tremhle before,
Which drives them from duty
In all of its beauty,
To leave them hut trembling the more.
Then let us not laugh at Miss Muftet,
Lest laughing and soothing we may
our own selves be Judging
As onward we're trudging
Where spiders are thick in the way.

THE following is the poem selected by
john Boyle O'Reilly as the one entitled to
the prize for the best American sea-sung.
by wind and wave the sailor brave has Jared
To shores OF every sea-
But never yet have seamen met or dared
Grim death for victory
In Drawer mood than they who died
on drifting decks in Apia's tide,
While cheering every sailors pride,
The Banner of the Free
Columbias men were they who then went down,
Not knights nor kings Of old,
But brighter far their laurels than crown
or coronet of gold.
our sailor true of any
Would give the last long breath he drew
TO cheer the old red white and blue,
The Banner of the Bold!
with hearts of oak, through storm and smoke and
flame,
Columba's seamen long
Have bravely fought and noby wrought, that shame
Might never dun their song.
They sing the country Of the free,
The glory of the rolling sea-
The starry flag of liberty,
The Banner of the Strong!
We ask but ths-and not amiss the claim
fleet to ride the wave,
A navy great to crown the state with fame
Though foes or tempests rave.
Then, as our fathers did of yore,
Wen sail our ships to every shore.
ON every wind will soar
The Banner of the Brave!
Oh! this we claim, that never shame may ride
ON that wave with thee,
Thou ship of state whose timbers great abide
The home of liberty.
For so our gallant Yankee tars,
OF daring deeds and honored scars,
