Professor" G. Vincent, of Kan
sas, delivered lectures the past
week at Mt. Zion, Black Greek and
Oction, at which "the brethen"
took up collections to defray his
expenses. The Professor" adver-
tised his lectures as entirely new
and thoroughly illustrated by
maps and charts" but he delivered
the same speech at each place. As
a kind of side issue he also solicited
subscriptions for his brothers pa
per in Kansas, and wrote out life
insurance policies for those who
would invest. Verify the 'sProfes-
sor" is a philanthropist of the first
water, and the amount of disinter-
ested labor performed by him is
only excelled by the gullibility of
the natives who foot his bills.

Railroad building has about sus-
pended in the United States, and
nearly two hundred banks have
failed in the year 1893. This is a
sure indication the wealthy are in
financial straits, and the poor are
not alone, although they suffer the
most, because they have not means
to relieve their necessities 1t is
thought the sitting of Congress in
August will afford radical relief to
to the country, and the evidence of
restored confidence from Maine to
California within three weeks after
Cleveland's proclamation calling
Congress together, gives cheering
proof of the faith the country has
in this Democratic administration.

however, that the brutally descriptive
name of such institutions could be SC

In all ancient calendars as being the

quilted the ark after having withstood

is marked in all ancient calendars, espe

Noah, his family and their great floating

WILLING TO MAKE ALLOWANCES.
A Kind Hearted Farmer Who Said Per-
haps the burrows We're Sun Warped.

A Kind Hearted Farmer Who Said Per-
haps the burrows We're Sun Warped.
A certain eminent clergyman, who Is
greatly loved for his gentleness and for
bearance with offenders, recently told q
man that an experience of his own in
years long gone By taught him the grace
of ready excusing. When he was boy,
he was very poor boy, but he had al
ready strong theological bent and was
studying hard during the winter and
working even harder during the summer
trying to get q preparation for college.
He wanted to be preacher, and the fact
that he didn't seem to be good for any
thing else tended to convince him that
he had not mistaken his calling.
One spring he was entirely out Of
money and had to get out of school and
20 to work. Not being able to find any
thing to do in the small college town
where he had been studying, the youth
call him Richard Vernon-went out
among the farmers to see if he could get
work from them. He found a man who
was very busy with his springs work
and in hurry to get the burrows plowed
In big field for potato planting The
weather was favorable for planting; the
farmers boys would behome from school
the next day, which was Saturday, to dc
the dropping and covering He told
Richard that he might mark out the
field with the plow for the planting, and
if he suited he might be hired for two OF
three months. Meantime the farmer
saw that the boy was very anxious to
stay, and that he had evidently very
good disposition.
So the young theologian went to work
with tremendous vigor. He did not stor
to take breath until he had marked off a
large tract of ground with deep burrows.
Then came his employer from his work
in another part of the farm and looked at
the boys work and leaned up against the
fence and laughed until he shook The
potato field had been scraped and seal
loped all over with the ridiculously IT.
regular and wabbly little bitches which
Richard had turned. There was not o
clean, straight furrow in the lot The
ground looked as if an insane elephant
had tossed up the earth. The furrowi
were of all depths and at all distances
from one another, for Richard had driven
the horse most of the time at smart
walk, and he had been too much occupied
with keeping up and maintaining a pre-
carious grasp upon the plow handles to
be able to pay any attention to the regu.
larity or evenness of his work.
Richard Vernon laughed, too, as he
stood and looked over the field. He
wiped the sweat from his brow and
looked very anxiously at his employer,
There was no chance for regular worb
there, that was evident. His laughter
faded away, and there was certain
faint twitch in the corners of his mouth
as the boy said:
II guess you don't want any more OF
my work, sirY'
"Oh, yes-yes, do" said the farmer.

Bright fiutterer, with golden name,
Freckled from gentle dun to flame,
How hast thou dared to venture out
Ere the buds begin to sprout?
When underneath the sheltering bower
Arbutus hath not shewn her flower,
Creeping from the modest moss,
With her brilliant leaves Of gloss.
When as yet within the brook
Leaves lie pressed as In a book,
Held within the Ice Kings arms
Clasped about their frozen charms;
Why vert thou not wise to wait
Till King Frost should abdicate?
Till the bluebirds pipe in tune,
Till the May looks on toward June,
Till the dandelion's yellow
Lends the lawn radiance mellow
These few hours of sunshine warm
May prelude fatal storm,
Bringing frost or bringing snow;
Where, then, fran one, wilt thou go7
