THE BOTHER.

esDear dear! what q bothersomc bAbyr
The care-wearied mother sighed out,
As she looked at the books and the play
things
That were everywhere scattered about,
At the great dingy spot on the carpet,
Where he'd let grandlna's medicine fall,
And the marks that the fat baby fingers
Had left on the windows and wall.
"Such a baby for getting in mischief!
1 can't keep him. tidy and sweet
Though I'm busy from daylight to bedtime,
The room never seems to be neat.
never catch up with my sewing;
I've never moment to rest"
And she sighed as she threaded her needle.
With life and its worries opprest.
A slow, nuffied sound on the pavement,
She looks through the mist-clouded pane
And sees, almost under her window.
A hearse going by in the rain.
There's a little white casket inside 1t,
And then by swift tears 1t is hid,
AS she thinks of the household whose dar-
ling r..a...s
Lies under the small coflin'sl lid.
She goes to the bed of her baby,
And lIneels by the sleeper in tears.
And the prayer that goes up, mute and
wordleSs.
The great loving Father-Heart hears.
No longer the child seems bother,
AS she thinks of the hearse in the rain,
And the mother-arms, aching and empty,
Where the little dead baby has lain.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

AN English vicar has been sent 10
jail for year at Birmingham for con-
tempt of court.
"A Yorkshire vicar who quarreled
with the squire of the parish has been
put under boycott by the latter. He
can obtain neither food nor lodging
In the village, the shopkeepers refuse
to sell him their wares, and he is obliged
to clean the church, light the lamps and
ring the bells himself.
According to recent statistics Of
the Presbyterian church baptism has
relatively decreased very largely in the
past 25 years. During that period the
membership of the church has grown
40 per cent, the number of adult bap-
t!sms 1873 per cent, while the number of
infant baptisms has increased less than
70 per cent.
All students of missions know that
the Moravians far excel all other bodies
of Christians in their devotion to the
cause of missions. The Friends are
credited with the second place in honor.
and it is said that in proportion to their
numbers they send more missionaries
to the foreign field than any other de-
nomination. In Great Britain about
one in $50 of the whole membership, or
one in 166 of the adult members, is
missionary.
The forty-third general congress of
the Roman Catholics of Germany, held
at Berlin, passed a number eff significant
resolutions, among them one warning
German Catholics against coming to
America under the present economic
conditions; one condemning the prac-
tice of dueling among the officers Of
the army and navy; one deploring the
fact that no Christian power has effect

more than ordinary amusement was re-
lated as follows: Three ministers were
Interpreting the meaning of the text
"David danced before the ark of the
Lord" The first minister said anyone
ought to know what that meant. It
meant that David danced while facing
the ark Of the Lord. The second minis

behind the ark, and the third said that
1t simply meant that David danced be-
fore the ark danced.

Bird-songs and brook-songs and wide

OF Joy little Jingle-bell sings!
Jingle and Jangle are two little bells
That Jingle and jangle all day;
And Jangle rings harsh, with an accent

That Jingle and jangle all day;
And the one that you listen to strangely

And your days will be merry and bubble

While sadness will never come near.

from $1.25, and plain mohairs from rs
cents. All OF these goods are of double
width, and eight yards forms the usual
dress pattern. In colored g0Nds the

AN APPLE CAUSED IT ALL.
Train of Mishaps Resulting from an At
tempt to Gather a Choice Pippin.

Train of Mishaps Resulting from an At
tempt to Gather a Choice Pippin.
From Chenille Corners comes q tale
of woe with an apple on top of IT, One
Sunday morning while walking about
his farm John Schneider espied tempt
ing morsel at the top of his apple tree,
and straightway went about procuring
1t, to his own misfortune and grief.
1t so did happen that John was at
tired in his choicest raiment, and while
climbing the tree his neither garment
was destroyed. Undaunted, however,
he reached for the apple. Something
meath the tree the festive honey bee
made honey, and the farmer involun-
tarily found himself deposited upon a
beehive. Thereupon the bees set them
selves upon the unfortunate for period
and, then yet unrevenged for the de-
struction of their home, made war
against the family horse, grazing near
by. The horse rushed To the house
wife for protection and invaded her
kitchen.
Mrs. Schneider was cooking the mid
day meal. The stove was overturned,
and in presenting confasration she
narrowly escaped being burned.
Schneider married to her resc+ne and was
kicked in the pit Of the stomach by the
once docile horse, which thea set itself
shout demolshing the contents Oh the
whole house, but was frustrated lin his
designs by thsnarrowness OF the doors.
Mrs. Schneider then turned upon the
horse. She rushed at him with n
broom. Instead of hitting blse horse
the broom came i'm contact with a
clock, which was thrown froInI it's shelf
and practically demolished.
The horse ran out of its own accord,
and in the yard met the family cow.
The cow received kick in the side, and,
tevffied, ran at the pet dog and tossed
him into the air. She repeated the Fer
foIrnance until the dog was 6aad, when
she started down the road scatteringall
who were out 2bp % Sunday walk.
And over ALI the apple innocensly
hung, and still nangs.-Clevsland Re
co1ager.

I was stopping with for the night in
the Cumberland mountains and cared
no more so long as had food and shell
ter. l had some little opportunity to
study my host and his family. He was
typical mountaineer of the saffron
complexion and the scrawny neck, with
his chin whiskers, and more solemn
and serious man 1 never saw. He was
absolutely lugubrious as he stalked
around the house like the shadow of q
great pain.
His companion, a woman whom
imagined to be his sister, was also pain
fully solemn, but not nearly 80 bad as
the man was and very much better still
when he was out of hearing. She was
dressed in mourning, but it did not
seem to affect her seriously when the
man was not by.
Excuse me-" I said to the woman,
whom happened upon at the wood
pile as / strolled around waiting for
supper, "but is there anybody dead
around here?"
"Not jis' now" she answered, as if
it were a relief to her to talk about it,
"that is, thar wus awhile back"
'The family doesn't seem to get over
it very readily. Who was it and how
long has it been?"
"Iit wuz Jeemes' wife; thet's him

fust come"
"Ah, that's sad. How long has she
been dead?"g ~. ,. as ... t. -

ez how hit would look somethin' more
like eff l wuz to wear black for her.
Kinder show respeck for the deceased,
Jeemes said, and make hit easier for
him to bear"
I'm sure that was very good in you,"
I said, with very apparent sincerity,

"That's what the neighbors all said,

She looked at me with flushed face.

almost Indignantly.
"No" 1 said, in some surprise.
Then you must have been her sister,"
"No; ner her'n neither" she said,
and her manner made me half regret
that 1 had mentioned the matter at all.
"Im his wife-I reckon might as well

DEADLY BIRD BOlAS.

Hunting in the Falkland Islands With
out Gun, Powder or Shot.
To go on wild goose hunt without
gun would seem very singular pro-
ceeding anywhere except in the Falk-
land islands; but there such weapon
was not necessary, as the young men
and boys used an equally effective pro-
jectile called the bird bolas, which is
made of the knucllle-bones of cattle.
That employed in the capture of wild
horses is made of three stone balls,
connected by sinews four or five feet
in length. A similar bolas is found
among the Eskimos, the balls being
of ivory carved from the tusks Of q
waIrus. I'll
A young goose hunter crawled slow

Reunion of n sheen Family.

Sheep are gentle and loving, but not
noted for their sagacity, but there are
exceptions. A Pennsylvania farmer had
some fine sheep in pasture, and one day
some vagabond dogs got into the field
and scattered them widely. The farmer
drove away the dogs and collected all
the sheep, as he supposed, into smaller
field. Then he went home to dinner,
and had just seated himself when
sheep came running into the room,
bleating piteously and rubbing against
him. He rose from the table and she
ran out. He followed her through the
large field to a wide creek, and there
on rock was her lamb. Terrified by
the dogs, the sheep and lamb had
rushed to this place of refuge, and now
the lamb was afraid to venture into the
water again. The farmer carried it to
the bank in his arms and reunited the
family.

y,ctoria,s descendants.

Germany has had five sovereigns
since Queen Victoria began to reign.
She herself will in future be recognized
as the ancestress of one of the most
powerful rulers. Her grandson wears
the iron crown of Germany. Her grand
daughter is empress of Russia. Another
granddaughter is crown princess OF
Roumania. Her second son rules over
the principality of Saxe-Coburg. The
hereditary princess of Saxe-Meiningen
is her granddaughter. The heir to the
throne of Greece is her descendant; the
grand duke of Hesse her grandson. She
has no fewer than 81 descendants who
one day between them promise to be at
the head of more than half of Europe
