any pit, If you will but take hold of Gods
rope Of mercy lowered to rescue you. You
will notice that David did not, could not,
elevate himself from his pit Joseph and
Jeremiah had to be pulled up by other men.
But in Davids case, in the text it was the
Lord who drought him up"
Now. 1t is natural for men. as soon as
they discover their helpless and critical con-
diton, to seek the nearest way out; but
in the case of these sinful pits the liabili-
ty is to try toget out any way but the right
way. Human experience proves this. Men
too often try to get out of these pits by
the ropes of their own morality and good
works. Others try to buy their way out;
as well try to climb to the moon on a spi-
der's thread. Men can never get out in any
of these ways. From the helpless, bound
condition, sinner, that you find yourself
in, there is but one way ont. If ever
you get out, Jesus, the mighty to save"
must do it for you. There is no other
name given under Heaven or among men
whei eby we can be saved but Jesus Christ"
His name is Jesus for He shall save His
people from their sins" He only can
save. He only can supply the power to
lift you out Of the deep, dark, and Shiny
pit Of sin. The rope that lie lowers to
you is divine rope Of mercy, long enough
to reach to the deepest depth of The pit,
and strong enough to bear your weight
IL Jesus Is not the divine one, then indeed
our case is hopeless one.
DR.. Blake of Edinburgh, Scotland, tells
true story that came under his observa-
ton. "A very benev olent Unitarian minis
ter took to street preaching He gathered
large company of waits and harlots
around him, and he presented the beauty Of
yirtuous life TO them the best he could
But one of the harlots who had not lost all
her native Scotch humor. looked up into
his face and said in her Scotch dialect
'Eh. mon, your rope ma lang enough to
reach the like o us" The woman was
her. She had already tested its power,
and it broke under her weight The rope
long enough and strong enough must be a
divine rope of mercy that would reach
down into the depths of sins deep, dark
pit, and lift US up unto the solid rock of
Christs righteousness. The psalmist was
taken up out of the horrible pit and placed
on a rock, high and dry, the very opposite
OF the bottom of the miry, Shiny pit. And
a more appropriate figure to tell the change
that takes place in the condition of the
sinner he could not have found.
When man comes TO Jesus. repents
and .orsakes his sins, the miIy clay of sin
aud iniquity is left below, and he is lifted
into new life teemlng with the joys of
Heaven. And with joyful heart and hap
py life he sings the pew song of deliver
ance. even praises to our God, who
hath redeemed us with His own precious
blood, and made Us kings and priests unto
God, forever" Dear friend, will you give
your heart to God and let Him lift you out
OF sin by the mercy Of Jesus Christ!

dow Pennsylvania Man ForeteIls the
 Weather.
 A gentleman who lives a few miles west of town, says the Windland (Pa.) Democrat, is barometer in himself. He can tell when the temperature will lower or rise almost to the hour. Often he has predicted north winds, rain, etc., when there were no visible signs to bear out his assertions. He does not prognosticate by his feelings, but by some strange markings on his left fore arm.
 These marks resemble the discharger of a Leyden jar as much as anything else. There is one mark about two inches long and a quarter of an inch wide, and from this project two other red lines. On the end of each of these is blue spot When the indications are for rain these two spots travel under the skin until they touch each other. When the probabilities are for wind or dry weather they separate until they are diametrically opposite. Physicians have examined the discolorations, and say that they are only some kind of pig ment under the skin, and that they are similar in natureto birthmarlls. They cannot explain the travelling proclivities of these forerunners, however.
 The gentleman says that his tempera. ture has nothing to do with their move ments. He may be warm on wet day and they may not be affected, or vice versa,

Practical for surtao. nai,roaa..

A very important Improvement in the
street railway business has been invent
ed by Captain NJ. A. Cutter, of Allie
gheny. 1t is an appliance attached TO
the car for throwing a switch. and
which can be handled by the grip man
or motor man without compelling him
to stop or get out OF the car. The car
can be going at full speed and make a
switch without slowing up or causing
any inconvenience to the man who
throws the switch. The continuance is
a very simple and inexpensive one.
Another Improvement which Mr.. Cut
ter has made is in the running gears.
By touching lever the entire car can
be swung around upon the wheels and
started backward. There is. conse-
quently, but one motor needed for each
car, and in this way the cost of equip
ping single car is reduced to about
one-hah A brake has also been in
vented by Mr.. Cutter by which the car
may be held while being reversed

The whole cosmos is in a mans

mans brains will hold; perhaps it is
nowhere else. And when sleep relaxes
the will, and there are no earthly sur
roundings TO distract attention-no
duty, pain or pleasure to compel it
riderless Fancy takes the bit in its teeth.
and the whole cosmos goes mad and
has its wild will of us.
InefTable false joys, unspealable false
terror and distress, strange phantoms
only seen as in n glass darlkly, chase
each other without rhyme Or reason,
and play hide and seek across the twi-
Lit field and through the dark recesses
of our clouded and imperfect conscious
ness.
And the false terrors and distress,
however unspeakable, are no worse
than such real terrors and distress as
are only too often the waking lot of
man, or even so bad, but the ineffable
false joys transcend all possible human
felicity while they last, and a little
while it isl

trahuman bliss has seemed to rest.

ORDERS RIDE FOR LIFE.

Parsued by Pack OF Wolves. the Wis
consin Man Makes Desperate Leap
In one of the widest portions of
Wisconsin when II was wild frontier
state had settled tile noted pioneer
Hank Grider. a man whose wonderful
endurance of limb is in measure H.
Illustrated by this sketch.
One dark and rainy night of the year
1856 the brave pioneer. whose reckless
nature had won for him the title OF
Wild Grider, and by which he was
known far and wide. found himself
some fifteen miles from home and with
the Kakanook river, swollen and turbu-
lent from the recent rain. between him
self and his destination.
Wolves howled upon every hand, but
he paid no particular attention to
them, pressing steadily on in the
drenching rain
At length, however, he noticed that
the grim scavengers of the forest were
beginning to congregate in large num-
bers into the trail behind him, and
drawing uncomfortably near, bowling
and snarling at one another as they
came.
This served to give him a slight un-
easiness of mind as he urged his horse
forward
Steadily the horde OF wet, shaggy
forms increased in number until it
seemed that thousand of them were
crowding along upon the pioneers
track, making the night hideous with
their babel of snarling voices.
How swiftly in pursuit came that
writhing mass OF now thoroughly en-
ragged brutes, and though the pioneer
was remarkably swift of foot lie had to
put forth every effort to keep out of
their way, and there In the darkness of
the Wisconsin wilderness ensued a des
perate race for life and death.
The ground was fairly smooth, and
this aided the desperate man some
what, but he was compelled to use the
spurs mercilessiy to escape those clash
ing jaws.
Like the very wind he sped along.
his only hope lying in reaching the river
in advance Of his fierce pursuers, for
once across the turbulent current he
would be safe.
But fully five miles lay between him
and the river. and it would indeed be
miracle to reach it; but wholly un-
daunted the reckless fellow sped ON,
his teeth closed firmly and his eyes
cleaning with all the fire of his wild,
excitable nature.
Mile after mile was cast behind, and
daylight was beginning to steal over
the land when the swift and swollen
Kakanook hove in sight.
The ground sloped toward It, and
down this descent few pursued and
pursuers. with scarce six feet separating
them.
For over five miles had that desperate
race continued, and now, exhausted as
he was by his superhuman speed. Girl

whr the Pnrson Iert

Twas only little hen, with a Topped
comb and flushed face, that broke up
the pastorate of an able Maine parson.
She used to sneak under the fence, you
know, just the way hens do always,
tiptoe across the grass border with the
minuet step, and then the elders gar
den had to take it. OF course it was
aggravating Did you ever watch a
hen at this jobi She trips carelessIy
into the middle of the garden bed; she
cocks her head; a careless look comes
into her eye; she balances partners
with flip and scrape to the right, a
fiirt and kick to the left, a double
shuttle and a grand skirt dance flourish.
Then she looks for grub.
Well, that parson saw the whole thing
for days; same hen, same gestures and
she came In miraculously, astonishingIy,
through new hole every day. Then
came at length wrath and glrding of
the loins; a gun, bang dead hen float
ing upon the placid breast of a river
eddy. The current washed the eorse
upon the neighbor's strand, and then
the neighborhood heard the tale. The
atrocity was famed vigorously and the
poor parson found that he was not be
