Sag ii to HIS Face.


Sometimes it does people
good to be brought face to
face with persons whom they
have slandered and abused.
1t is astonishing how soon,
under such circumstances,
their impudence evaporates.
The author of "Studies in
Russia" tells the story of a
young poet in the time of
Alexander H., the liberator
of the serfs, and the victim
of the Nihilist assassin.
This young man had
written a most scurrilous
poem, in which he had des-
cribed and libeled not only
the empress, but also the
grand dukes and duchesses.
Some one, the censor of the
press, went and told the en-
peror.
"The man had better be
sent off to Siberia at once"
he said 1T is not a case
for delay"
"Oh, -1o," said the empress
"wait a little; but tell the
man | desire to see him at
six o'clock tomorrow evening
When the man was told
this he felt as if his last hour
was come, and that the en-
peror himself must intend to
pronounce a sentence of eter-
nal exile. He went to the
palace, and was shown
through all the grand state
rooms, one after another5
without seeing any ore, til.
at last he arrived at a small
commonplace room at the
end of them all, where there
was a single table with a
lamp upon it, and here he
saw the empress, the enper-
or, and all the grand dukes
and duchesses whom he had
mentioned in his poem.
''How do you do slr?'
said the emperor. II heard
you had written a beautiful
poem, and l have sent for
you that you may read it
aloud to us yourself, and |
have invited this company to
come that they may have the
pleasure of hearing you"
Then the poor man pros
trated himself at the empire
ror's feet.
"Send me to Siberia, SIR"
he said; "force me to be a
soldier, only do not compel
me to read that poem.
ooh sir you are cruel to
refuse me pleasure, but you
will not be so ungallant as
to refuse the empress the
pleasure of hearing your
verses, and she will ask YOU
herself"
And the empress asked
him.
When he had finished, she
said: 81 do not think he
will write any more verses
about us. He need not 20
to Siberia just yeti
We may be sure that one
such lesson was enough for
this young man. 1t would
be we'll if some other people
were obliged to say what
they have said in dark cor.
ners out face to face with
the people whom they have
slandered and maligned, But
it is the art Of the slanderer
to set a house a6re and then
run away in the smoke, or,
like the cuttleGsh, to black.

that nobody can see where
he is or what he Is doing

We noticed yesterday at the bap-
tising, a new and much needed re-
form in the rites Of immersion, and
we are glad to see that the preach
er. Mr.. Rachael, has hit upon a
happy expedient to save the lady
candidates from strangIiug when
being immersed. The method is
simple and should be adopted by
the Baptists and others who bap-
tise by immersion. The candidate,
instead of crossing their hands tor
the preacher to hold to, are allow
ed the use of the same and by sim.
ply placing their handkerchief over
their nose, when being dipped un
der, brings them back without the
usual strangIing effect, which the
ladies' who have not learned to hold
their breath like the men, are often
made to appear ridiculous, from the
contortions made by those who
have taken water into their lungs
through the nostrils. Let the Gus
tom be adopted generally.

Those Useful COnduits,

The kidneys and bladder, sometimes
become torpid and weak from unas-
certainable causes. When this OC-

Of necessity very imperfectly per
formed, and certain debris, which is
the result of natural bodily waste
and decay, does not escape as 1t
should, but remains to corrupt the
blood and develop poisonous humors
and dangerous as well as painful
diseases, 1t is one of the beneH-
cent effects of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters to gently stimulate the
urinary organs, and prevent them
from lapsing into a state OF mac
tivity, always provocative OF their
inAammatory degeneration and de-
cay. How much better then is it
to adopt this mild diuretic as a
means of melting them to action,
than to incur the danger Of this de-
structiou. To expel from the sys-
tenn waste matter through the bow
els and kidneys, and to regulate
and arouse the stomach and liver,
are among the chief uses of this
valuable remedy.

children on either hand represent
ing the two young gifts she is pre-
sentiug to the older elements of hu-
man industry, and sitting figures on
either hand representing Commerce
and Manufactures complete the
group. Ore of the children holds
an electric coil, and the other rest
one hand upon a steel bar. These
are the only accessories suggesting

"UncIe, Simon's Dream.

1t will be remembered that 5. p.
Stump has been very enthusiastic for
the development of this territory for
oil aud gas purposes, and one night
last week he retired meditating upon
the subject, and following is substan-
italy his dream as reported to us;
"a. H. Stump, Hagan Barr and
an unknown man and | were out on
the mountain SD~ prognosticating
and we Came upon crowd of fellows
looking at monster snake, and one
of them remarked, he is just 200 feet
long The snake was alive but seem
ed perfectly harmless. He was lay
ing due north and south While we
were meditating upon his monstrosity
he began, as it were, to move, and he
turned around until he was pointed
due east and west, with his head to the
east. Then it va, that he gave one
tremendous serge and blew like
gas we'll and started on bee line To
the east. We followed him down off
of the mountain to small ravine
which he crossed and up onto mar
row point between that and another
small stream. There he paused for q
moment rs if looking for new bear
ings. Finally making another for
ward move down to the second little
ravine, and i'll the twinkle of an eye
disappeared, and the crowd exclaim-
cd i'll the joy of their hearts we have
found it, Then we began to reason
with ourselves as to what itaIl meant,
and we thought OF the biblical number
seven, and that 200 feet, the length
of the snake, multiplied by the sacred
seven would make 400, and this was
interpreted to mean the depth of the
oil and that it would be 200 Darrell
we'll"
So strong is "Uncle" Simon in the
belief that in that Identical spot is the
oil, that he would stake his last dollar
to put a well where his shakcship dis
appeared.
