How Two OF a Kind Got Acquainted.

"This," said the man who was travel

and took out bottle, 'is a mixture
called DIR. Jenkinson's Indispensable.

and most agreeable tonic now on the
market, by all odds"
Il am not SO sure about that" re-
piled the man who was occupying the
seat with him. Il have here"-and he
opened his own valise and took out a
bottle-"a tonic called DR.. Rvbold's
Extract, which have used for several
years and consider the best preparation
ever made. No man ought ever to"
Il have no doubt it is a fairly good
medicine in its way" broke in the other,
"but if you had ever tasted DR.. Jenkin-
sons Indispensable you would throw
that stuff of yours away"
Il know all about DIR. Jenkinson's
nostrum, and 1 know exactly what it's
made of"
You do, eh?"
"Yes, sir, and I know DR.. Rybold's
extract is made from precisely the same
formula, only from pure materials in
stead of the vile and adulterated ingre-
dients old Jenkinson USES"
"It's made from the same formula, is
it?"
Exactly the same"
"You lying old ignoramus, how do
you know what it's made off"
"How do I know, you insulting old
scoundrel? I'm DR.. Rybold, sir!'

Mexican Soldiers Trick.

Many of the recruits of the Mexican
army are convicts who have been drafted
into military service, and consequently
desertions are very humorous. Some
times a rather humorous ingenuity is
shown in slipping out of bondage. In
Monterey, one rainy night in March,
1888, more than score of men belong
ing to regiment drawn up at q rail-
road station waiting for the arrival of
the President, succeeded in getting
away by the device of placing their caps
on the butts of their musket, the bayo-
net driven in the ground at their places
in the ranks. By the uncertain torch
light the plattoons seemed unbroken,
and it was only when the order to march
was given and the regiment marched
away and left the cap-bearing muskets
standing scattered over the ground,
that the trick was discovered by the
officers.

learn once more from this subject
that Christ can hush a tempest.
It did seem as If everything must 60
to ruin. The disciples had given up
the idea Of managing the ship; the crew
were entirely demoralized; yet Christ
rises, and He puts His foot on the storm,
and it crouches at His feet. Oh, yes!
| Christ can hush the tempest You have
had trouble. Perhaps it was the little
child taken away from you-the sweetest
child of the household, the one who
asked the most curious questions, and
stood around you with the greatest
fondnesss, and the spade cut down
through your bleeding heart. Perhaps
! it was an only son, and your heart has
ever since been like desolated castle,
the owls of the night hooting among
stairways. Perhaps it was an aged
mother. You always went to her with
your troubles. She was in your home
to welcome your children into life, and
when they died she was there to pity
you; that old hand will do YOU no more
kindness; that white lock of hair
you put away in the casket or
in the locket didn't look as
usually did when she brushed
away from her wrink!ed brow in the
home circle or in the country church.
Or your property gone, you said: L
have SO much bank stock, l have SO
many government securities. l have SO
many houses, have so many farms-all
gone, all gone" Why, Sir, all the
storms that ever trampled with their
thunders, all the shipwrecks, have not
been worse than this to you. Yet, you
have not been completely overthrown.
Why? Christ says: Il have that little
one in my keeping. l can care for her
as we'll as you can, better than you can,
o, bereaved mother flushing the
tempest. When your property went

Jesus hushing the tempest. There is
one storm into which We will all have to
run. The moment when We let
go of this world and try to
take hold of the next, We will want all
the grace possible. Yonder 1 see a
Christian soul rocking on the surges of
death; all the powers of darkness seem
let out against that soul-the swirling
wave, the thunder of the sky, the shrek
of the wind, all seem to unite together;
but that soul is not troubled; there is no
signing, there are no tears; plenty of
tears in the room at the departure, but
he weeps no tears-calm, satisfied, and
peaceful; all is we'll. BY the flash of
the storm you see the harbor just ahead,
and you are making for that harbor.
All shall be well, Jesus being our guide.
Into the ha rbor of Heaven now we glide;
We're home at last home at last.
Softly We drift on the bright, silv'ry tide.
We're home at last.
Glory to God! oil dangers are DER.
Weistand secure on the glorified shore;
Glory to God We will shout evermore,
