"Because if you are not wish you

he dashed me to the earth and planted
his knees on my breast.
"Not word out of you, Morg," he

4 MYSTERIOUS PROPHET.

A strange and wonderful prophet
has arrived at Westminster. He is
not Wandering Jew, nor John the
Baptist, nor the old Levite, is some
may think, for before they were he
was. The Scriptures make mention
of him he is no impostor he knows
not his parents his voice is shrlll
and powerful his beard is red he
wears no hat his coat is not knit or
woven or spun it is not hair, linen
or wooden, yet of fine color he goes
barefooted like gray friar he cares
not for the pomp and vanities of this
wicked world he lets all men alone
with religion he would rather live
in barn than in Kings palace he
sleeps not in a bed but sitting or
standing he cries unto the whole
world with outstretched arms doors
and windows open at his prophecy
he riseth from his slumbers by pro-
claiming the day of the Lord is at
hand he walks not with a staff or
sword, but marches boldly along in
the face of his enemies both men
and women who follow his example
live to good old age he was with
Noah in the ark and with Christ when
he was crucifed he is neither Wing
nor Tory he once preached sermon
which convinced a good man of his
sins and drew tears from his eyes !;
all people who come to see him are
convinced that he is no impostor so
send all your friends and brethren
that they may see him before his de-
parture .-SentineI.

no religious associations connected
with the time, it would be the part of
wisdom to observe it. Catholics and
some sects of Protestants alike regard
it as season of fasting and special
religious services, though perhaps the
former are more particular as to its
literal observance than the latter.
Even the Puritans have yielded to It's
influence, at least so far as fasting is
concerned, and abstain from marked
gaiety for the season. 1t is 1 time for
rest and temperate living, nd as such
it can not be too much encouraged. =

The remarkable case of George
Browning, aged 10, who banks like
dog, is puzzlng the Bellevue IN. "
Hospital physicians. The boy was
brought there several days ago by his
mother, who thought he had hydro
phobia.
His eyes rolled, his mouth opened
convulsively, and from his throat was
emitted series of sharp, quick barks.
The office force was startled, and look
ed about inquiringly. The barking
was accompanied by commissions. For
perhaps three minutes did George act
in this incomprehensible manner, and
when the fit passed and his mother
tried to soothe him, he burst into
tears.
Mrs. Browning explained that her
son while playing in the streets, was
bitten by a dog. The wound seemed
trifing, and healed in a few days.
George, from a healthy boy, became
an invalid. He developed consum-
ing thirst for water and ravenous ap-
petite, but lost his physical vigor.
The commissions began several days
ago, and on Friday were accompanied
by the barking sound. Medical opin-
ion is divided as to what is the mat
ter with him. Some of the physicl-
ans are disposed to think it is hydro
phobia. Others take the view that
George was badly frightened by the
dog bites, heard a great deal about
the possibilities of hydrophobia, and
is now in a hysterical condition as
result.

The Detroit Free Press tells how the
most popular man in Western town
once got into difficulty with disre
putable tough who was the terror of
the place, and did him up in manner
eminently satisfactory to the entire
community. 1t was necessary to vim
dictate the majesty of the law, how
ever, and the offender was brought
up for trial on a charge of assault
with intent to kill. The jury took the
case and were out about two minutes
when they returned.
"Well,' said the judge, in a familiar
offhand way, "what does the jury
have to say?"
'FMay it please the court, +" respond
ed the foreman, 1--WE, the jury find
that the prisoner is not guilty of hit
TIM with intent to kill, but simply to
paralyze, and he done it.''
The verdict was received with ap-
plause, and the prisoner was released
with ovation.

STORY OF HORACE GREELEY.

Amos J. Cummings was night editor
of the New York Tribune, when Hor-
ace Greeley was in his prime. Among
the stories he tells Of Mr.. Greeley is
the following:
Greeley, as it is well-known, was
crank on election figures. and knew
exactly how every county and town
in the State was in the habit of going.
A slight change in favor of his own
party would fill him with satisfaction.
One day he came into the Office over
joyed that the republicans had carried
West chester county in local election.
AS usual, he wrote an editorial, and
put a comparative table, compiled
from the Tribune Almanac, in the mid
die of the article. When the paper
came out the next day the figures
were misplaced, the republican vote
appearing in the democratic column
and vice versa, SO that the comments
did not at all fit the case stated. Mr..
Greeley came down in a towering
rage and in whirlwind of profanity
demanded whether there was proof
reader on the paper and whether any
body in the office had a grain of sense.
"Why, yes, Mr.. Greeley; you know
old man so and SO is the proof-reader,
and has been for years But what is
the matter?"
"Matter! Blankety, blank, blank!
Why, some blankety blank, blank has
gone to work and changed the figures
in that Westminster article SO as to
make the blankest nonsense out of
it.
~ don't think anybody would have
ventured to change your figures, Mr.
Greeley. Don't you think you had
better look at the copy before pitch
into the proof-reader? You know he
is very careful"
cpl do nothing of the kind" said
the old man as he shuffled up stairs.
cpl kick him out of the composing
room. I won't be made a fool of in
this way"
Up stairs there was a scene very
that Greeley told the proof-reader
that he ought to be kicked from one
end of the composing room to the
other. With the proverbial placidity
of proof-readers and their provoking
readiness for such emergencies, the
man assaulted quietly went to the hook
and taking therefrom Greeley's own
copy held it under his eyes with the
single remark: "Read that, sir"
Greeley did read it. There was 81
lence for moment, and then his face
assumed a look Of mingled contempt
and disgust. Then he turned around
with his back to the proof reader,
lifted his coat-tails and said, loud
enough to be heard all over the room;
"Here, Sam, kick me, and kick me
till I holler.

Bishop Potter recently told the fol-
lowing story:
"Several years ago some of US were
assembled in Calvary Church, New
York, to bear our testimony to the
life and influence of the late DR.. Ed
ward Washburn. [ may venture now
to violate the confidence Of a domes-
tic incident which transpired then,
and which, I think, you will own to
have it's significance and appropriate
ness here. One after another, Phillip
Brooks, and others like him, rose in
their places in that crowded study to
tell what they owed to the genius, to
the high spirit, to the answering 10y
atty to duty, to the splendid courage,
to the rare scholarship, to the philo-
sophie insight, to the prophetic ut
terance of Edward Washburn. The
| testimony was done. At the door, all
the time, there stood a slender wo-
man, who had stood, during his life,
nearest to him of whom we spoke

passion of it and the pathos of it,
nor the power, tender but reproach-

length we were still: "Oh, if you low
ed Edward so, why didn't you tell him
of it while he lived?''
