BIsbop wilberforce's Way to Heaven.

Bishop WilberfOrce in a carriage at the rail-
way station, at no great distance from Bright

acters we will run up against from time to

carriage window exclaiming. An. Master
Wilberforce Is somewhere IN the train; i saw
some OF his luggage at the station; that's a
gentleman Pye often thought ! should like to
tackle; / should like to put a question or two
to him: yes, yes. / should like to sec what
he'd say"
The Bishops head was out of the window
In q minute. Now is your time then" said
he: here he is. What Is the question:
There are many questions | can't answer, but
/ never heard the question L couldn't learn
something from"
The person 10 whom he spoke was. as such
persons usually are. perfectly ~astounded,
completely tabber-gasted. a. We say. AT last
he blundered out. well, III ask you a ques-
ton as you be here; now you're a bishop, and

DR.. Joseph Leidy, the famous naturalist,
who died recently in Philadelphia. always
showed a tenderness amounting 10 a~iectlOu
toward all dumb creatures. AT the time OF
his death some of his pupils gave the follow
ing example of this trait.
DR.. Leidy was lecturing, several years ago,
in SwarthmOre College, about ten miles out
OF the city. lie took from the mud OF Il pond
near the college one day three little turtles
for examination, saying as he did 1t: Never
mind. I'll take YOU home again"
When the lecture was over the turtles were
put into a tank in the Doctors private closet.
which he only could unlock. About 10 o'clock
that night the j%anitor was awakened by q
loud ringing at the bell. and admitted the
Doctor. who stalked directly to his closet.
He informed some Of the students, who
then ioiuei him, that he had been suddenly
summoned by cable TO Germany. and must
sail the next day. There were no night trains
TO Swarthmore.
1T was a pleasant walk over the hills" he
said and | could not sail and think Of these
little things starving here. | will Just take
them to their home"
The man. whose learning was respected by
all English-speaking peoples, carried the lit
tie dumb creatures carefully back TO Their
nest, and the laughing boys, Looking on,
learned something probably which no SER
mon had ever taught them. ,
close acquaintance with the habits and
manners of animals usually converts their OBJ
servers into their friends.
Acertain naturalist who has made a special
study of spiders for many years found more
beauties and virtues in that repulslye black
creature than in any other. His house
swarmed with them. They were his CON-
panions in his walks and at his meals.
so erea. is his love for them " said one of
his friends, that a hint that they were
