The Pathetic story of an Old Negro Con-
Wet in a Southern Prison.

The Pathetic story of an Old Negro Com
Wet in a Southern Prison.
Tie following story was recently told
in public gathering by an itinerant
preacher in the south. Fifteen years
ago. he said, he was passing through a
large prison pen in one of the gulf
states. 1t was crowded with negroes,
whose faces showed every phase of
ignorance and brutality. One gigantic
fellow crouched alone in corner, his
feet chained to ball. There was an
unhealed wound in his jaw, where he
had been shot while trying to escape.
The sight of the dumb, gaunt figure
touched the visitors sympathies.
How long has he to serve?" he asked
the keeper.
For life"
HAS he anybody outside to look after
him? His old master? A wife or child?'
"How should l know? Nobody but
you has ever noticed him in all the time
he has been here"
MAY speak to him?"
"Yes, but only for minute"
The minister hesitated What could
he say in one minute?
He went up and touched the mans
torn cheek. II am sorry" he said, II
wish could help you"
The negro looked keenly at him; then
The hard lines of his face softened, and
he nodded to indicate that he accepted
and believed in the sympathy expressed.
II am going away, and shall never

Sllarers of Grace.

They who communicate to others in
their affection become sharers of their
grace. They who minister to others
out of the consolation wherewith they
have been comforted have the ministry
of the Spirit in their own experience,
receiving more of the consolation.
Grace is thus cumulative, ministering
and yet growing as it gives. Therefore
Paul rejoiced in the kind thoughtful
ness of his Philippian brethren, for they
were helped as he also was. The mani
festation of Christian sympathy and
charity was a fruit of his ministry
among them. and now it abounded to
their account.-United Presbyterian.

Serving God i'm the Kitchen,

We were born to serve, and when We
serve others we serve God. The flush
on that woman's cheek, as she bends
over the hot stove, is as sacred in Gods

who, on hot day, breaches the Gospel.

names of the guests who had drunk
from this cup, and every Christian

FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.
THE HOLIDAYS.

First comes Mother New Year,
Fresh tablets in her hand;
Last comes Father Christmas
With gifts for all the land;
And those between have left their plays,
And wait as still as mice,
For all the little Holidays
Must have some good advice.
"St VAL" says Mother New Year,
Your sports we gladly claim;
But see that none are sighted,
Or grieved, or put to shame.
While you, my staid and earnest son,
How much depends on you
To keep the fame Of Washington
And bring him followers true"
"Dear child" said Father Christmas,
my little Easter dove,
Wen try to please the children
And teach them truth and love.
You April jester, when you play,
q Be kindly in your pranks,
And you, my sturdy Arbor Day,
Plant well, and have our thanks"
"My gentle little Flower girls"
The Mother New Year said,
Give lovingly and sweetly
To the living and the dead.
And you, my noisy, boisterous pet,
Go march and shoot and shout,
But, really, you must not forget
What all your funs about.
"And, last, my fair Thanksgiving,
With lessons true and sweet
"Oh, make yourself remembered
In all the hearts you greet.
Now laugh and dance, dear little band,
And sing with voices clear;
For Holidays must bless the land,
And brighten all the year"

No matter how much religion q
man processes all that counts is what

Devotion inspires men with scnti-

Joy and ex altation. Addison.

DO we really want God to do what
He deems best for us? Or is there in

Psalm Is.

Psalm Is.
Who, o Lord, with Thee sojourning,
Shall in Zion be Thy guest;
Who, pilgrim homeward turning,
In Thy holy hill shall rest?
He that walketh in uprightness,
Doeth right without fear,
Speaketh not in heartless lightnesA
But in truth and love sincere.
He who slandereth not brother,
Doth no evil to a friend,
Never doth reproach another,
Though the wicked be condemned.
He to them all honor giveth,
Who the Lord Jehovah fear;
True to every vow he liveth,
Though he suffer loss severe.
He who in his pity lendeth,
Asking no excess again;
He the innocent befriendeth,
Seeking no reward of men.
He, so doing, ne'er is moved;
Living thus, he liveth well:
This the man, by Thee approved,
Who within Thy house shall dwell
