and espied the little prisoners huUtering

and looked at the birds. contemplating the
scene awhile in silence At length he ad-
dressed the boy:
How much do you ask for your birds ?"

for the whole lot! | want to take all

sUred that the birds were his own lawful
property than he opened the door and let
the tluttering songsters all fly away
There you go!" he shouted, as the last

Confusion as TO Divine Guidance,

was customary for young ministers to con-
suit their presiding elders before taking a
wife. Once, during a campmeeting in
eastern Maine, a young minister approach
ed the presiding elder and said he wished
TO be married
Nv hom do you propose to marry?'
asked the elder.
Lord has made known to me very clearly
that should marry Sister Mary Turner. "
O'l know her well, said the elCer; she
Is ine girl. | will see you again before
the meeting closes.
During the week four other young min
listers consulted the presiding elder on the
subject of marriage. Each of them gave
the name of the young woman to whom,he
proposed 10 offer himself. They had all
prayed over the matter great deal, and
each was certain that Il was the Lord de-
sire that he should marry the person
named. Neither of the five young men
knew any one else had consulted the elder
on that subject. On the last day of the
campmeetiug, at noon, the elder called the
hive young ministers to his tent to receive
his opinion. He said:
Now, brethren, 1t may be the will OF
God for you to marry, but it is not his

Amusing Custom That Prevails Among
the Hindoos of Bengal.
A ludicrous custom is still followed in
Hindoo households of Bengal. The last
day of Fagoon, that fell on March 18th, was
observed in worshiping Ghanto, the god of
itches and the diseases of the skin which
afflict the natives. Very early on the morn
ing of this day the mistresses Of the fami-
lies. changing their nocturnal attire, put a
useless black earthen vessel outside the
threshold of their back doors, with hand
full of rice and masoor dial, four cowries and
piece of rag smeared with tumeric. Wild
flowers appearing in this season-called
Ghantoo fool-are offered in worship. The
young boys of the families stand in semi
circle before the mistresses, with eudgels in
their hands.
When the conches are sounded by the fe-
male w0rhipers, as the signal of the po0jah
being over, the BOYS break the vessels into
atoms. The mirthful children, in their
anxiety to strike the first blow, sometimes
bruise the fingers and hands Of the matron.
The piece of rag is preserved over the doors
of the houses in Zenana. In the evening of
the day the boys of the lower order of the
villages sing songs of the occasion in chorus
from door to door for pie.-Pittsburg Dis
