suppose them to be as inseparable
from our "civilization" as the noise
of wheels from a carriage or bilge-
water from a ship. Therefore we
have to make conscious efforts to
"put on" that sympathetic DISPOSE
ton, and to fight against the faults
which hinder its free play. No other
help will be of much use to the re-
ceiver, nor of any to the giver. Ben

gratitude as the sympathy which II
expresses deserves. But if we really
make another's sorrows ours, that

makes our clumsy hands light and

"Well, about dark, last night,
some boys came into my yard, as
mum and quiet, ma'am, as if they
had come to steal, and piled up
three barrow loads there where you

quiet too, but the children made

but she said nothing to the boy I'M

the blacksmith's son, brought Otis
satchel to the door, with these words:

So 1.-THE Left Hands" first secret

discourage them at all, for every
week some good turn is being done
secretly to somebody and it is not
hard to guess that the motto Of the

secret society,""
Otis Adams came hopping into his
mothers room first on one foot, then
on the other, banging the door, up
setting a chair and making as much
noise as a nine year-old boy could.
"Isn't it jolly mother-a sure
enough secret society ?"

much noise as this one ?" asked his
mother with a pleasant smile "be-
cause, if they do, l hope the meet

But what is the secret, Otis
ooh, ho" cried the little boy,
''that would be telling, and we are
not to tell anybody"

said the lady, "that are not for moth

Otis looked rather sober. "Well,
mother" he said, Eat the next meet

made honorary members and be told
the secrets. But | am to be on duty
tonight, and l can't tell you what

His mother shook her head, and
Otis began to be dreadfully afraid he
would miss his appointment.
"Just try me this time, mother"
he said earnestly. "It is something
1 know you would like me to do,
and Mr.. Ross knows about it; in
deed, he gave us our society name

truthful eyes, "even if Mr.. Ross did

What is the name of your society"'
"'The Left Hands," he replied
proudly "but don't ask u motto
for that would tell too much"
The next morning before school
time Otis was seen flying wildly
over the house. Whereof, where

"Mother, you must have put then

Enduring Affronts With Humility.

Fenelon.
When God proposes to make us die
to ourselves he always touches that
which is the very essence and center
of our life. Thus doth he apportion
crosses. Let yourself be humbled /;
silence and peace under humiliation
are a true benefit to the soul. One is
sometimes tempted to talk humbly,
and it is easy to find a thousand fine
pretexts for so doing, but ii is yet
better to be humbIy silent. laxative
humility is to be suspected in talk
ing, self-love relieves itself not a lit.
tie. Do not be angry about what
people say let them talk while you
try to do Gods will. AS to the will
of men, you could never come to an
end satisfying it, nor is it worth the
trouble. A little silence, peace, and
union with God ought to comfort you
for all that men may say uniustly.
Possess your soul in patience. Re-
new yourself often in the presence of
God, so as to calm yourself, to
humbly adapt yourself to the little
ones. Nothing is really great
save lowliness, charity, distrust OF
self detachment from ones opinion
and will. All stiff, harsh goodness
is contrary to Jesus Christ.

7 IA Heart of Compassion"
DIR. ALEXANDER MACLAREN

Those who are in Christ, and are
thus regenerated in him, are of the
chosen lace, are consecrated as be-
longing especially to God, and re-
ceive the warm beams of the special
paternal love with which he re-
CARDS the men who are in some
measure conformed to his likeness
and modelled after his will. That
relation to God should draw after it a
life congruous with itself-a life of
active goodness and brotherly gentle
ness. The outcome of it should be
not mere glad emotion, nor a hug
ging of ones self in ones happiness,
but practical efforts to turn to men a
face lit ny the same dispositions
with which God has looked on us, or,
us the parallel passage in Ephesians
has it "Be imitatOrs of God, as be-
loved children" That is a wide,
fruitful principle-the relation to
men will follow the relation to God.
As we think God has been to us, so
let us try to be to others. The poor
est little fishing coble is the best
guided by celestial observations, and
dead reckoning without sun or stars
is but second best. Independent
morality cut loose from religion
will be feeble morality. On the
other hand, religion which does not
issue in morality is a ghost without
substance. Religion is the soul OF
morality. Morality is the body Of
religion, more than ceremonial wor-
ship is. The virtues which all men
know are the fitting garments of the
elect of God.
"a heart of compassion" So the
Revised Version renders the words
given literally in the Authorized as
bowels of mercies," an expression
which that very strange thing
called conventional propriety regards
AS coarse, simply because Jews chose
one part of the body and we another
as the supposed seat of the emotions

RISE HIGHER.

Soul Of mine,
Wouldst thou choose for life II motto half
divine?
Let tins be thy guard and guide,
Through the future reaching wide;
Whether good or i'll betide,
Rise higher.
From the mire
Where the masses blindly grovel, rise high.
From the slavish love Of gold,
From the justice, bought aud sold,
From the narrow, rules of love,
Rise higher.
Art thou vtxed
BY the rasping world around thee, and per.
picked,
BY the sin and sorrow rife,
BY the falsehood and the strife?
To q larger, grander life.
Rise higher.
II thou fndest
That the friends thy heart had counted
truest, kindest,
Have betrayed thee, why shouldst thou
Wear for this q frowning brow?
Leave their falsehood far behind;
Rise higher,
Let each care
Lift thee upward to a higher, purer air.
Then let Fortune do her worst,
Whether fate has blessed or cursed,
Little matter, if thou first
Rise higher.
And at last
When thy sorrows and temptations all are
past,
And the grand death-angel brings
Summons from the King of kings,
Thou shalt still, on angel wings,
4C Rise higher. .ItI

before. For twenty years Mr.. Johnson
has been in the railroad business, starting
in as one of the original party selected by
Col. Tom Scott to survey the Texas &
Pacific line, and more conscientious and

PORKERS IN A WRECK,
Two Men Killed at Canoncito-A Wild
Dash Down Glorieta Mountain.

Meagre particulars reached here this
forenoon OF disastrous wreck Of a freight
train at Canoncito early this morning.
One man was killed and another is miss
ing, a brakeman, supposed to be buried
under the wreck.
1t was west bound freight train loaded
with fat hogs going through to the City OF
Mexico. Coming down the Glorietta
mountain the brakes failed to work and
the railroad employees lost complete con-
troll of the train. 1t went bounding madly
down the mountain side, every second
increasing its velocity, until the Canon
Cito curve was reached and here the
crash came, the engine and fourteen cars
piling up in the ditch. The havoc was
very great, and the terror of the train
men Just prior to the final crash must have
been awful.
The engineer saved his life by Jump
ing, the fireman attempted to do so and
was caught and killed. AT noon the
brakeman was still missing, and is sup
posed to be under the pile of debris dead.
No names can be obtained. The rail-
roads representatives here and at Lamy
are as dumb as oysters about it, and an
attempt to wire Gloreta for particulars
proved fruitless, as the wire to that
point was severed by the wreck. Not less
than 300 head of hogs were killed in the
wreck. A large force of men has been
engaged there all day clearing away the
debris. Passengers east bound on this
mornings train have lain all day at Lamy
awaiting the clearing of the track.
Davis is the name of the unfortunate
fireman. All regular trains are delayed
at least fifteen hours.

case of Rafael Chaves VS.. the Atlantic &
Pacific Railroad company, holding certain
tracts at the Santa Fe land district subject

was within the limit Of the railroad grant,

initiated his claim thereto prior to definite
location of the railroad. On appeal Of the

the decision of the commissioner, and he
