A Young Man Has a Good Time at tho
Expense of IL Bank.
One morning while the air was raw and
gusty and the dust of johannesburg, after
being purged of its go Id, was blowing furi-
ously into the eyes of those that ventured
out OF doors, says a Kimberley South
Africa letter to the New York Sun, u
young man was met by u messenger Of the
Standard Bank with the welcome tidings
that 10000 had been wired to his credit
from London. The youth, unable to recall
any aged relative who was in possession OF
such a sum, and knowing well that his larg-
est dealings were usually in the old jewelry
or watch line and that he could not possibly
have had a transaction implying the II ans
ference of so much coin, modestly repudi.
ated the idea that the sum was for him.
This happened April 10. The authorities of
the bank, whose reputation for liberality is
not great, pressed the sum on him, saying
that it was his and no others. What could
the young fellow, whose name was Gallew-
ski, do but accept the windfall? In due
tune it was transferred to his account at
the johannesburg branch of the bank, and
from thence to the pockets of those who
helped to minister to the indulgence of
youth.
But a day Of reckoning came. The bank
discovered that it had made a mistake; that
the Geographic message, instead Of being
for ''Gautch,' which was meant for Ben
Gallewski, should have read "Gaud," q diff
ferent person altOgether-a mistake only
discovered when tho cable was followed up
by the ~letterOf advice. They then called on
Ben to disgorge. BY this time the bulk Of
the money was spent, consequently there
was no chance of recovery. SO the case has
been taken to court and heard before the
Judges of the Transvaal. What may be the
issue of it one can not tell, but it is certain
that the bank will not be able to recover
from him who has moi, and that such a ro-
nance has rarely occurred in the real life
OF our old world community.

Jubilee in lIeaven-between requiem
here and triumphal march there-part-

Have you thought of it! They are to-
gether.
l never appreciated hat thought so
much as when We laid away in her last
slumber my sister Sarah. Standing
there in the village cemetery. | looked
around and said: There is father, there
is mother, there is grandfather, there is
grandmother, there are whole circles of
~kindred;" and | thought to myself, ITO
gether in the grave-together in glory"
/ nm so impressed with the thought that
1 do not think it is any fanaticism when
some n is going from this world to the
next If you make them the bearer of
dispatches to your friends who are gone,
saying: Give my love to my parents,
give my love to my children, give my
love to my old comrades who are in
glory, and tell them | am trying to fight
the good fight of faith, and | will join
them after awhile" l believe the mes
sage will be d%elivered; and | believe it
will increase the gladness of those who
are before the throne. Together are
they, all their tears gone. No trouble
getting good society for them. All kings,
queens, princesses.
In 1851 there was a bill offered in the
English Parliament proposing to change
the almanac so that March l would come
Immediately after February 10. But o,
what a glorious change in the calander
when all the years of your earthly ex-
istence are swallowed up in the eternal
year of God.
My friends, take this good cheer homo
with you. These tears of bereavement
that course your checks, and Of persecu-
ton, and of trial, are not always to be
there. The motherly hand of God will
wipe them all away. What is the use,
mation-what is tho use of
fretting about any thing?' o,
what an EXPLANATION it ought to be in
Christian work! See you the pinnacles
against the sky? 1t is the cry of our
God, and we are approaching it. Oh,
let us be busy in the few days that shall
remain for rs. The Saxons and the
Britons went out to battle. The Saxons
were all armed. The Britons had no
arms at all; and yet history tells us the
Britons got the victofy. Why? They
vent into battle shouting three times
"Hallelujah!" and at the third shout of
"Hallelujah" their enemies fled panic
struck; and so the Britons got the vic
tory.
And, my friends, if we could only ap-
preciate the glories that are to come,
we would be s filled with enthusiasm
that no power on earth or hell could
stand before us; and at our first shout
the opposing forces would begin to
tremble, and at our second shout they
would begin to fall back, and at our
third shout they would be routed for
ever. There is no power on earth or in
hell that could stand before three such
volleys of hallelujah.
l put this balsam on the wounds of
your heart. Rejoice at the thought of
what your departed friends have got rid
Of, and that you have a prospect Of so
making your W escape. Bear cheer
fully the ministry of tears, and exult at
the thought that 500 it is to be ended.
There we shall march up the heavenly street,
And ground our arms ut Jesus feet.

SUNFLOWERS AND MALARIA.

In q recent issue of the Russian me d,
ical journal. the Meditzina, a Contribu-
tor emphatically draws atteniiOn to the
common sunflUwer as an excellent and
cheap substitute for quinine in the treat
ment of melarial tevers of all possible
forms. The remedy has been from time
i%mnenorial used for the purpose in the
Russian as well as Persian and Turkish
popular medicine, and that mostly after
The following plan: A flask is filled
loosely with finely cut dry or recent
flowers and stem, and then with vodka
aqua vitae. The Theoretically corked
vessel is left to stand under sun rays,
or at some warm place tor two or three
days. The tinc,ure is then ready for
use and should be given as a small
wlneglassful three times a day. In re-
rent cases, complete and permanent
cure ensnes in from one TO three days;
in most obstinate and inveterate, not
later than a week. The remedy proved
successful even in such cases where
q~uininc and other anti-malarial means
tailed.
