Mistakes of Missionaries.

Come behind the curtain with me while
I whisper into your ear few of the mis-
takes made by missionaries, who talk so
much about the mistakes of the heather.
One evening an English missionary in
Picking took a friend who was visiting
him to a regular Chinese theater. It
happened that the play for that evening
was hurlesque on foreign preaching.
A Chinaman dressed up to represent a
foreigner came upon the stage with his
arms full of books, attended by his Chi
nese servant. He began to preach mock
sermon, making the mistakes in talking
which foreigner is likely to make.
These mistakes were received with bursts
Of laughter from the audience, to whom
the books were distributed. The fun
came to climax when the preacher,
after delivering a sentence particularly
full Of laughable mistakes, turned to his
servant and said: "How did speak:
Did do pretty well?" and the servant
replied with great gravity: "The foreign
teacher speaks the Chinese language ex.
ceedingly well. No mistakes at all were
made. New York Independent

A RoUMANlAN FOLK SONG.

f ~ = h. ~
He whom loved so well
Is in his long, long sleep.
Yet lament him not,
For he told me not to weep.
More dear to him the grave
Than could ever be,
For though I go to him,
He docs not come to me.
envy not the grave
What yesterday was mine,
But bow my head and say,
Keep him, for he is thine.
But keep not, grave, my youth.
= Which cannot profit thee.
My smile and my light STEP
Oh, give them back to me-"
But the grave answered, mo.
For these things still are dear
Since he, deprived of them,
Would be too lonely here"
Then to the dead 1 pray, -&~
"Restore my youth to me. -
That when we meet again
be not old to theeI"
But he nor hears nor sees
For his eyes like mine are dim.
So to his grave I come .. X
To get them back from him.
Foronly in the grave ~....
Are tears no longer shed
And the living happy made
Beside the happy dead! ~

ACCIDENT INSURANCE.
Queer Decision by a st. Paul
Judge in Favor Of the In
Surance COMPANY.

1t may be right, but we think
the accident insurance business
will suffer from the recent decision
of Judge Cornish of St. Paul, who
ruled that the murder of the late
Editor Seward of Saltwater was
not an accident, hence his widow
cannot recover $4,000 OF accident
insurance held by him. Notwith-
standing the courts held the muir
derer insane, the judge now holds
that he intended to kill Seward,
which shuts out the accident the
ory., A friend who has had con-
siderable experience in insurance
business informs US that very little
can be received from the ordinary
accident policy, and that before
one invests therein he should care
fully read and understand his pol
icy. A boat load Of passengers OF
train load of tourists might be
dynamited by some rascal, and of
course his intention would be to
kill or MAIN, but this would not be
an "accident, "-merely an unfortu-
nate incident we presume. A
mule might kick mans head off,
and as the court would rule that
this mule didn't intend to kick the
mans head on, the mules intent
would be otherwise, and no insur.
ance could be had. And probably
if one lost life or limb in cyclone
Judge Cornish would be in doubt
as to divine Providence's intention
and be unable to give a verdic
either way, so the victim would
suffer without recompense. W.
wonder if Judge Cornish is :
stock holder in an accident insur
ance company?-Marsh0W Neac
