How a Great Preacher Started.

The way in which Phillips Brooks began
to preach the Gospel is so unique that the
story must be told in full. Two or three
miles from the hill in Virginia on which
the Alexandria seminary stands is a little
hamlet called Sharon, composed of poor
whites and negroes, which one of the
classmates undertook to work up 1t was
a task in which he needed help, and Brooks
reluctantly consented to go. After he had
been once his heart was interested, and he
was ready to go again. Here he preached
his first sermon and began the work Of
ministering to human souls.
The success of the little mission stirred
up opposition, which was headed by a
northern man who had become an infidel
and delighted to express his opinions to q
few followers. These appeared determined
to break up the meetings, and when young
Brooks was fully aware of their purpose
one Sunday he denounced the whole set in
terms OF scathing rebuke, which his class.
mate still remembers as the most search
ing sarcastic speech that he ever heard
Little as he may have occasion to use it,
Phillips Brooks is as effective and powerful
a master of invective as ever Theodore
Parker was, and the effect of his speech
upon this little community was to destroy
the opposition and to bring all but one of
the hostile persons, and that was not the
leader, to baptism and confirmation Rev.
Julius II. Ward in New England Maya

A Toucbfn- Seeae.

The willfui generosity of pretty and
richly clad child, the rimid joyfalneSs Of a
pretty child in rags and the gentle KIND
hess of the richly clad child's mother fur
nished a touching incident on Fifth ave-
nue. near Fifty-seventh street one after
noon last week Both children were girls.
The ragged little girl went into ecstatics
at the sight of costly doll which the
other child was carrying. ''Oh, mamma,
see that bootiful dolly! that bootiful, booti-
full dollyr she cried, Juggling at the skirts
of the haggard and thinly clad woman at
her side. The pretty child of fortune
heard the eager cry of delight and instant
Is her little heart swelled with generosity.
Here, little girl,'' she said, you may
have this dolly; have got another one at
home" And she pressed the beautiful toy
into the arms of the poverty mite.
The poor woman uttered feeble protest
and the rich mamma was about to inter-
fere to recover the doll when the little
aristocrat exclaimed, Now, mamma, you
give the little girls mamma something,
and then we each will have done good
deed" The eyes of the rich woman and
the eyes of the poor woman met and the
rich woman's sympathies were touched.
In another instant a compact green roll
was thrust into the poor woman's hand
with the gentle request, please accept
this for the children's sake. New York

Sheep as Burden Bearers.

Sheep are put to rather novel double
use in the east, While they are not COM
monty regarded useful as beasts of burden,
in large part of northwest India, accord
ing to a recent writer, thousands of sheep
carry for many miles the commodities that
are purchased by the sale of their own
wool The mountain paths among the
foothills of the Himalayas are so precipi-
tous that the sheep, more surefooted than
larger beasts, are preferred as burden car
riers The load for each sheep is from
sixteen TO twenty pounds The sheep are
driven from village to village, with the
wool still growing, and in each town the
farmer shears as much wool as be can sell
there and loads the sheep with the grain
which he receives in exchange. After his
flock has been shorn he turns it toward
home, each sheep having on its back
small bag containing the purchased grain
