No argument in favor of Christian

To convert a sinner into q saint is

To cleanse soul from all sin, is

This Tusker Knew the Difference be-
tween Nineteen and Twenty.
In 1883 q regiment was marching
from Peshawur to Kopulvie, and was
accompanied by train of elephants
1t was the duty of the mahout in
charge of each elephant to prepare
twenty chupatties, or fiat cakes made
of course -four, for his charge. When
the twenty chupatties were ready, they
were placed before the elephant, who,
during the process OF counting, never
attempted to touch one OF them until
the full number was completed. On
one occasion one OF the elephants had
seized the opportunity OF his mahouts
attention being distracted for mo
ment to steal and swallow one OF the
chupatties. When the mahout having
finished the preparation, began
count them out, he, of course, discoV'
cred the theft and presented his charge
with nineteen in place OF the usuA
number.
| The elephant instantly appreciated
the fact of there being ono less than

the conductor OF the elephant line on
the scene. Having heard the explana-

cided that the mahout was in fault Tor
not keeping better lookout. and Or

TWO SONGS.

The sun is gone from the valleys, =
The air breathes fresh and chill;
On the barn roof yellow with lichen
A robin is singing shrill.
Like a tawny leaf is his bosom.
Like dead leaf Is his wing;
He is glad Of the coming winter
As the thrush is glad Of the spring.
The sound Of shepherds piping
Comes down from . distant fold,
Like the ripple OF running water,
A. tuneless, and sweet, and cold.
The two songs mingle together;
Like and unlike are they,
For one sounds tired and plaintive,
And one rings proud and gay.
They take no thought Of their music,
The bird and the shepherd-lad;
But the bird-voice thrills with rapture,
And the human note is sad.

Reward Of Honesty.

In one of New York city's large dry
goods shops, one day, little cash girl
brought to one of the departments in
the course of the early afternoon hours
of Tuesday a woman's purse. She had
just picked it up. she said, on the floor.
near the counter. and she remarked as
she passed it over that she guessed 1t
was "stuffed full" The floor walker
opened it and saw at glance that her
opinion was justified. Carrying it to
the superintendent Office, he with tho
parsonage counted the money. The
purse contained *5.O66. There were
ten $500 bills, a check for $40, some
small bills and change. Within half
an hour n pale-faced woman appeared
at the office, asking breathlessly II a
purse had been recently found in tho
shop Tho we'll stocked pocketbook
was hers. Her identification OF the
money, including the drawer and the
drawee of the check, was complete, and
it was promptly delivered to her. She
thanked the superintendent warmly.
and was about to leave the Office when
that gentleman suggested that she owed
the recovery of her money to the hon
esty of the little cash girl. '.Do you
think. madam" he said pointedly'
such honesty ought to go unreward'
vdo"
The woman stopped. NO OF course
not" she said hastily and, opening thu

silver dollar. which she gave to thu
girl. Then she departed with the fort

less, and of whose finding she was 81
