Motto: ssGod and Home and Native Land"
CHRISTIAN INFLUENCE.

"As an example of many may cite
the case of young man who, IN com
pany with others in the railroad Walt
ing room, was preaching the doctrine
that we are saved by works. His
theme was only, DO right and shun
evil Offering tracts and papers to
those listening to him, I pointed them
to the Scripture, John 3:16, God so
loved the world that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever be-
lieveth in him should not perish but
have everlasting life.' He became
deeply interested, and the Holy Spirit
seemed to change his heart, for he ac-
knowledged openly that he had never
before had heard that salvation was
by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
When once the darkness was broken
and the light shone into his heart, he
confessed to having led a drunkard's
life. I pleaded with him earnestly to
give his heart to Jesus just now and
serve God, which he promised with
hand shake. Afterwards I found that
he was one Of my countrymen and
knew my relatives in Germany very
we'll Those standing round were
surely touched, and though they did
not make open confession their emo
tions showed the effect of the gospel.
"Many passengers of the North
German Lloyd steamer 'Elbe,' on her
last trip to this port, were comforted
by the Christian literature and per-
sonal conversation received at Ellis
Island. May God by His Holy Spirit
cheer those who were thus supported,
and when they read of that terrible
collision Of the same ship in the North
Sea, where so many lives were lost,
may they realize that human life is
very uncertain, and come into the
confidence of Gods grace,so that they
can say with the Psalmist, Yea, tho
I walk through the valley Of the
shadow of death will fear no evil

 Journey.

Journey.
 Emperors on their travels take no pleasure, apparently, in that form of "roughing it" which involves dining without fish one night and without choice Of two liquors, or which implies a fast from strawberries in October. The table is perpetually and monoto- nously kept up to the high point of capital, and what this involves in the service of the imperial train may be gathered from the "reminiscences pub lished in Russia of the czar's journey across the continent in 1888. It was the journey which was inter- rupted, it will be remembered, by the attempt to wreck the train It Is true that the way was through country unmeet for the supply of Parisian confectionery, for instance, and that materials for this necessary were therefore inevitably included in the baggage. Even for fish the Cas- plan could not be trusted. For the fish of the Caspian is favored with petro- leum, which flows into it from the Baku wells. Nor was any confidence felt in the beef of the steppes. No one would answer for catching a filet in time to meet the food trains; and two spe- cial trains for this single purpose were not too much, some of the compartments being converted into freezing chambers. And to these were intrusted the oysters from Ostend, not without misgiving. The trains went careering on to prepare the dinner, the menu flying back by tele- graph. Not on wheels, however, was the delicate business of the cookery ac- complished. Kitchens, days journey asunder, made a chain across northern Europe and part of Asia. Each kitchen was manned by three hundred persons, whose duties began and ended with the solitary effort of a single dinner Then there was what may be called the rolling stock of servants, who had travelled with tke czar and czarina and ministered to the lesser solemnities of luncheon. It was during luncheon that the crash occurred, and it was owing to the extremely substantial building of the important compartment that the imperial lives were not lost Pall Mall Budget.

 She was young, golden-haired, and spectacled He was young, smooth faced, and spectacled. Likewise his clothes were brand-new and his coat of the frock variety. Their fellow passengers in the chair car suspected them of being newly-married, but there was difference of opinion.
 Obviously, the couple were too we'll. bred to betray themselves by any open demonstrations of affection. Still, there was that brand-new look about them and their evide mt, if quiet, devo- tion.
 You bet your life," said the youth with the new russet shoes to the select coterie in the smolSing-room, ''she isn't that chaps sister. If she was, he wouldn't have stuck to her all the afternoon. He'd have been out here with us fellows by this time"
 "Yes, I guess they're man and wife, said the man who got on at Albany, but they don't behave as if they were only just married. Let's ask the coon. He'll know"
 The buffet man. on being appealed to, responded promptly. "Yes, sah. jest married dis morning."
 "How do you know, George?" asked the man who got on at Albany. "Did they tell you?"
 George sniffed contemptuously. Didn't need to tell me, sah. Found it out foh myself. Served 'em with lunch jest now, and he didn't know how many Jumps of sugah she took in her tea. Had to ask her."-Buffalo Ex- press.

Not word of praise was given to brave Nance, who had saved them all from a terrible death.
 They all take it as matter of fact" muttered Lieut.. Sommers, when the station was reached at last And she dout seem to understand that she is as brave as any soldier that wears the blue. God bless her bomely face."
 Give her three cheersl" shouted Private Knowles. "Now, boys-three cheers for Nancer'
 The cheers were given with a will. The echo had hardly died away when voice came from the pile of blankets where the father lay.
 What you fellers maxim sich fuss over Nance fer?" he growled.
 Why, she is a heroine; didn't you know it? She saved you all," was the astonished reply.
 ''Sposin' she did! You'd better quit that noise. Nance is hushin' them young uns as was bulleted an she won't thank ye ter skeer 'em an make 'em nervouser'n they air by howlin' so"
 The wagon curtain parted again, and Nance's white face peered out.
 That's so. 1 ain't done nothin' but what I'd oughter do for pop an marm an the younguns, anyhow. But the younguns is asleep now, an guess I'll git my arm seen to if the doctor is handy. Is he?"
 The station agent stepped forward and cut the sleeve from the trembling arm. The barbed head of an arrow had passed entirely through the arm. The broken shaft told of Nance's efforts to pull it out.-Ella H. Stratton, in Farm and Home.

A HEROINE UNAWARES.
The Story Of Western Emil
 grants Plucky Daughter.

The red sun hung above the dim, hay earth like glowing ball of fire one smoky morning. Not breath of air stirred the rustling prairie grass, not breeze stirred the willing leaves upon the solitary tree by the spring. The soldiers guarding stage station c were chattering together seated upon the shady sides of their tents.
 There's three emigrant wagons blamed if there ain't," exclaimed Pri- vate Knowles, incredulously.
 That's a fact" declared Lieut.. Som mers, lowering his field glass. There they are, three wagons loaded with men, women and children and the whole country alive with Indians. Crazy people are not all in insane asy- lums."
 The men wondered and commented as the three wagons slowly drew near and halted near the spring. Perched upon the back of the huge gray leader in the foremost team, was girl with q thin, white face, careworn and emotion less. The figure was that of child of perhaps fourteen years; the face was
 
 more disappointment than pleasure in this world. A man sat just within the white canvas cover of the wagon, while four or five children peered from the depths behind him.
 How'd ye do?" was the mans cordial greeting. as they all descended. "Seems good ter stretch yer legs when you've been drivin' most the night"
 "How are you, stranger?" returned Private Knowles. Where do you think you're travelling to, anyway"
 Wal, we heard as how there wus good settlin' land bout fifty. miles fur der on, an low there's where we're aimin' fur" answered the man confi- dently.
 Are you idiots?" shouted Lieut.. Som- mers 'This country is full of red skins. They've wiped out nearly every stage station for seventy miles or more. They gave us a call yesterday, as four poor fellows in the tent yonder testify. They're on the warpath on account of the little unpleasantness at Deer Lick, last week. Better stay here until they get quieted down."
 "No-up Some one1l take the land afore us if we don't push on," was the sullen, determined answer.
 "That's so. Smutty Joe writ a letter ter Inderanny fer money ter scoot, an be won't stop fer no lnjuns," said another of the men. We've got seven good sixteen-shooters, besides revolvers plenty, an reckin' we kin use 'em. Our wimmen folks ain't slow when 1t cums ter shootin' irons, tell ye, an Jake's Nance is a whole team with rifle, you bet! We'll go ahead"
 "That's the talk" asserted the third man. while the women nodded approv- ingly, and the elf upon the gray lead CTS back laughed shrilly. If you fellers will jest let us bile the teakittle an water the hosses arter fodderin' 'em, we'll push right on."
 'It's no use to say any more to them. They're bound for the kingdom come, !" said Lieut.. Sommers, walking away in disgust. ''The commander better give

A JAPANESE STORY.
Told by Native of Japan to an Ameri
 can Audience.


 can Audience.
 Once upon time there lived in lit tie hamlet in Japan a young couple. They had one child, beautiful little girl, whom both loved very dearly. It came to pass while the child was still a baby girl that the father was obliged to take long journey to the far-dis- tant city. It was too far for him to take his wife and child, so he left them at home and travelled alone.
 In that great city he saw many new things which, having lived in the peaceful little hamlet up among the mountains all his life, he had never seen before. He desired to take home to his wife some of these new things which seemed to him so wonderful And the most wonderful gift he could take, it seemed to him, was mirror He wished to take home to his wife the pleasure and surprise he had experi- enced when he had first looked into a mirror. So he took one home to his wife.
 When he arrived home he gave the present to his wife and for the first tune she looked into mirror. What do you see?" her husband asked She replied: "I declare see a very pretty woman. She wears her hair just as I do mine and she smiles and moves her lips as if she were talking to me-" Her hus band told her that the mirror was a present for her and he hoped she would use it every day. But the wife f,,x f..y and costly gift to use every day; so she put it carefully away and never spoke about it to the little daughter, who grew more beautiful and more like her mother every day.
 By and by a great misfortune fell upon that little household. The wife and mother fell sick, and it was soon evident that she must die. As she lay upon her deathbed she called her little was going to lose her mother forever She could point to no future life after death, in which they should be re- united. But in the love and simplicity of her heart she did the best she could; she told her little daughter about the wonderful mirror. After am dead" she said, take down that box and look into the mirror that it contains. There you will see my face; and l want you to look into the mirror every day that you may never forget your mother, and that you may grow like me more and mere every day"
 So the mother died. The little girl did as she had been told, and in the wonderful mirror she thought she saw her mothers face, young and beau tiful, not as she had secN her, pale and ill as she lay dying, but fair and fresh as she had looked before the fatal ill., ness. And the little girl looked into the mirror every day and thought of her mother and her many lovely ways, and so it came about that she grew to be more like her mother as the years went by Rochester Post-Express.

The Market Place.

There is no doubt that the protection
which used to be accorded to the market
place from the earliest barbarian times has
played an important though not an exclu-
sive part in the emancipation Of the me-
diaval city. The early barbarians knew
no trade within their village communities.
They traded with strangers only, at GER
tain definite spots, on certain determined
days, and in order that the stran ger might
come to the barter place without risk OF
being slain for some feud which might be
running between two kins the market was
always placed under the special protection
of all kins 1t was inviolable, like the
place of worship under the shadow Of
which it was held
With the Kabyles it is still annaya, like
the footpath along which women carry
water from the we'll. Neither must be trod-
den upon in arms evon during intertribal
wars. In medieval times the market uni
versally enjoyed tho samo protection. No
feud could be prosecuted on the place
whereto people come to trade nor within
a certain radius from 1t, and If a quarrel
arose in the motley crowd of buyers aud
sellers it had to be brought before those
under whose protection the market stood
tho community's tribunal, or the
bishops, the lords or the kings judge.
A stranger who came to trade was a
guest, and he went on under this very
name. Even the lord who had no scruples
about robbing merchant on the high
road respected the wolchbild-that is, the
pole which stood in the market place and
bore either the kings arms, or glove, or
the image Of the local saint, or simply a
cross, according to whether the market
was under the protection of the king, the

THE NEW DlGGINGS
Excitement Over the Oklahoma Gold Fields
Grows Apace

GUTHRIE, o. T., June 12.-The scene
on the banks of Boggy creek, southwest
of Arapahoe, is queer one for agricul-
tural Oklahoma. Instead OF diminis shng,
the gold fever grows apace. People are
rushing pellmell along the banks of the
stream, where the camps are only few
feet apart. A regular hack line has been
established between Arapahoe and the
gold field. This hack line leaves Arapa-
hoe at 7 a m. and l pm. daily. When it
arrives in the city it is packed with min
ers every one of them carrying q sack
full OF ore. At the same time men are
riding into town almost hourly with sacks
of precious ore tied to their saddles. The
nearest town to the gold camp is Cloud
Chief, and that town has taken on veri-
table Colorado mining town appearance.
Scores Of restaurants and saloons are GO
ing up with the usual accompanlments
OF real estate offices and dance halls.
