At 9Tbe Home" Mr.. Winans re-

|
NAMED till Jack seemed comfortable
and likely to sleep. First the matrOr
fed the child with warm bread anC
milk, which revived him. He remem,
! bered all about the efforts to sell his
papers, his entrance into the church
and pew, and his dream.
What made you cry? asked Mr.
Winans gently
l was going to drink nice hot cof-
fee.
Oh! you were dreaming. Would
YOU like some coffee now?
Yes, oh! yes. It's so nice.
The coffee refreshed Jack, and he
frightened up and made a hearty
meal of bread and cold mutton. His
dream became reality instead of an
interlHde which fancy makes.
Mr.. Winans sat by and watched
him until he was satisfied. Then he
asked:
Would you like to stay here all
night, or is your mother expecting
you?
Yes, stay here. Mothers gone
away and I sleep in the street.
Jack was soon sleeping on neat
little cot, so his new friend left him
in comfort and likely to finish his
sleep without dreaming of hot coffee.
The next morning Jack was bath
ed and dressed in clean clothes. He
was very nice looking boy, and Mr..
Winans determined to keep the child
in EThe Home" for the present.
Jack responded to the care bestowed
upon him. In the school he soon be-
gan to learn fast. OF course it was
very strange at first, but when once
he mastered the beginning he became
interested. For Mr.. Winans Jack
conceived great affection. After
some time, as the boy showed dis
position to do right, Mr.. Winans took
him to his own home. He was child
less, and Jack brought compensation
for care given him. Mr.. Winans
tried to reach Jacks history, but all
the child remembered was that his
mother sometimes called him tJack
Morris" The child had no recollec-
ton of relatives, so Mr.. Winans re-
garded the boy as Christ's little one.
Jack had no past, but plenty Of fu
ture, and he grew in grace as we'll as
in body and mind.
AS Jack grew up his mind turned
more and more toward religion. He
remembered the night he wandered
into the church and fell asleep. He
learned what missions are, and often
thought he would like to help those
who were without God in their hearts.
The young man felt the call in his
heart and obeyed it. His kind pro-
tector helped him, delighted that the
result was so far beyond his most
sanguine expectations.
Now the Rev. John Morris Winans
often addresses a missionary meeting.
He always remembers his first ex-
perience at a missionary meeting,
when faith showed itself by works in
his behalf. He never forgets to plead
for the heather at home as we'll as in
foreign fields, remembering the hun
CRY boy asleep in the church.

Some missionaries in Africa are
greatly troubled by the fact that the
natives are not at all eager to adopt
the dress of the white men. Not even
the converts are willing to wear the
amount of clothing which, according
to missionary ideas, is essential to re-
spectability.

A 5-year-old child in Lafayette, N.
j., was SO deeply affected by the death
last week of his grandmother that he
cried almost continually for four days,
when he burst a blood vessel and
died before medical assistance arrived.

''Should the weather indications

two weeks in a Boston family.
And she passed upon her way,

This little man with his hat pulled
over his eyes, bustling along in the
crowd on Park row, is money ma
ker. At one time he had the reputa-
ton of being a clever politician, but
he cares nothing for politics now.
Every moment of his time is occupied
in chasing the nimble dollar, and get
ting rich at a rapid rate. 1t is Col.
Daniel S. Lamont, late private sec
retary to Cleveland. He is interest
ed in at least a dozen large enterpris-
es, and he is constantly being sought
after by people who have money and
wish to double it by engaging in some
safe speculation. He is as busy as a
bee all day, and often far into the
night. His friends say he is making
$4,000 year, and bids fair to be-
come one of the wealthy men of the
metropolis. He pays no attention to
politics, goes out but very little in
public, and seems to have lost all am
bition, save for money making. He
is still one of Cleveland's chosen adj
visers, and the two men are often
seen down town together.

-
countries and in their own city, the
congregation stood in silence to re-
ceive the benediction.
There was a cry of some kind from
the rear of the church as the minis
ter finished his blessing. The peo-
pie all looked towards the corner pew
as they passed out, for the sound of
half-suppressed crying continued.
There was nobody in the pew, at
least there was nobody on the seat,
and the supposition was the crying
was outside.
One of the assembly looked in and
saw the child. He stopped, lifted
Jack up on the seat, put his arms
around the child, and said softly:
My child, what is it? are you
alone?
Jack rubbed his eyes and tried to
collect his senses. Poor, famished
little fellow, that hot cup of coffee
was such a disappointment. He was
drowsy and stupid from the cold of
the street, the heat of the church,
from hunger and sleep. Mr.. Winans
took in the situation. He saw the
few newspapers still under Jacks
arm, the ragged clothing and worn
out shoes. There were no stockings
on the small feet.
Poor little creature, said Mr. Win
ans as he lifted the boy in hi arms
and stood up.
Here is an example Of the heather
at our doors, right in our church. He
wandered in to get warm, l presume,
and fell asleep. I'll carry him round
to "The Home," and leave him in
good quarters.

The following circular, issued by the su-
perintendent Of the census under date Of
April Is, is Of general interest and ex
plains itself:
From representations recently made Ia
this Office from different parts Of the couu-
try, it is evident that there is more or less
misconceptinn existing among certain
classes of the community, more especially
the agricultural class, as to the object Of
the census, and there is great reason u
fear that, unless such "A contingency be
specially guarded against, many persons
will be deferred from rendering full and
accurate statement Of their property and
its productions by the fear that such infor.
nation would be used for the purposes of
taxation.
As this would seriously impair the value
of the census for some Of its most import
ant purposes, supervisors Of census have
been instructed not 10 recommend for ap
pointment as enumerator any person Iii
recty or indirectly concerned either la the
assessment Of property for taxation or ir
the actual levying Of taxation M your dis
trict, as no such recommendation viii b,
approved.
Although this order will have the efiecl
of excluding many persons who, IN every
other respect than that mentioned woul,
make excellent enumerators, and who's,
appointment was even contemplated in tn,
letter Of instructions issued 10 supervisor
with their respective commissions, the in
terests of the census make it absolutely i'm
| perative Very respectfully.

Superintendent Of Census

and shouted
Say, old Teller, dontcher shut that door

But Pm cold, quietly responded the
collector
The guard didn't mind little thing like
That. In minute or two the collector clos
ed the door again, aud again was it banged
open. The guard then threatened to pitch
the collector off All this time Col Erhardt
was very quiet. This circus was repeated
seven times, until the train reached Forty
second street. As the collector stepped on
to the station platform he turned and said :.

was there, surrounded by officials and inhu

the guard he walked over TO him and said
The last time | saw you, my friend, |
asked You if you had family. The reply
was not altogether satisfactory to me- viii
