cannot expect to get to Charleston by
taking ship for Portland, and you can
not expect to get to heaven by going IN
an opposite direction. Believe in the
Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be
saved. Through that one gate OF
pardon and peace all the race may go
in.
But" says some one, edo you really
think l would be at home in that SUI
pernal society if l should reach IT.?
think you would. | know you would
| remember that in the husking time
there was great equality OF feeling
among the ncighbors. There at one
corn shock farmer would be at work
who owned two hundred acres Oh
ground The man whom he was talk
ing with at the next corn
shock owned but thirty acres OF
ground, and perhaps all covered by a
mortgage. That evening, at the close
of the husking day, one man drove
home roam span, so frisky, so full OF
life, they got their feet over the traces.
The other man walked home. Great
difference in education, great difference
in worldly means; but l noticed at the
husking time they all seemed to enjoy
each others society. They did not ask
any man how much property he owned
or what his education had been. They
all seemed to be happy together IN
those good times.
And so it will be in heaven. Our
Father will gather his children around
him, and the neighbors will come in,
and the past will be rehearsed. And
some one will tell of victory, and we
will all celebrate it. And some one
will tell of great struggle, and we will
all praise the grace that fetched him
out of it. And some one will say
Here is my old father, that put away
with heartbreak. Just look at him, he
is as young as any of u.s." And some
one will say, Here is my darling child
that l buried in Greenwood, and all the
after years of my life were Swallowed
with desolation. Just look at her!
She doesn't seem as if she had been
sick a minute" Great sociality. Great
neighborhood kindness.
What though John Milton sit down
on one side, and John Howard sit down
on the other side. No embarrassment
What though Charlotte Elizabeth sill
down on one side, and Hannah More
sit down on the other side? No embar
rassment. A monarch yourself, why
be embarrassed among monarchs?
songster yourself, why be embarrassed
amid glorified songsters? Go in ant

RAISES MINT.
This Is the Queer Business of Woman
In Michigan.

This Is the Queer Business of Woman
In Michigan.
Buffalo Express: A little woman I'D
in Michigan carries on very remuner-
alive business raising mint. She is
Mrs. Mary Weber, and she inherited
the business from her father. Some of
the mint is raised in hot beds, and
these are the objects of constant care
by the family, which consists of the
widow and a grown-up son and daugh-
ter of 16 years. The profitable season
is between the months of May and Oc-
tober and June, the best month of all.
The mint roots are set out in May, and
the proprietress time is given to them
from that date until late in the au-
tumn. She clips and punches the mint
in the afternoon and evening, and the
morning is given to sales. She drives
to the leading hotels and makes the
sales herself. 1t is not necessary to So
licit custom. Most of it has been in
herited with the mint bed. The men
who patronized her father give their
patronage to the daughter. She is not
without competitors, but they are all
of the male sex and are not as gallant
as might be expected. Mrs. Weber,
like the wise business woman she is,
refuses to say how much the prolific
bed yields, but it is safe to say that
she keeps the big house going" and
putt aside the desired sum in provision
for rainy day." She has supplanted
her income by dealing in lemonade
straws. Every summer she drives in
to the country for a radius of twenty
miles in search Of rye straw that will
serve that purpose. If she finds the
kind she desires she buys it in the
field. But she is very hard to please
in the matter of the quality of the
straw, and has finally settled to the
patronage of a farmer named Black
Jack, who has yearly contract with
her. Womanlike, she cannot tell what
is most desirable in the straw, but she
knows when she sees it, and after all
that is quite sufficient.

Jail Instead of Marriage.

PoMERoY, Ohio, Oct 9. -Charles Hy-

been terrorizing the inhabitants of
Meigs and surrounding counties, was
standing beside Miss Georgia Manley,

the words that would have made them
man and wife, when officers suddenly
appeared on the scene and made pris-
oners of the two and of Burt Wines,
another of the band Rewards ag-

BRAVE FIREMEN.
Two HerolcaIly Risk Their Lives at TWO
Early Morning Fires.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct 1.-TWO
members of the Kansas City fire de-
partment distinguished themselves by
heroic actions at two fires early yes
terday morning. They were Mike
Connors, driver for Fire Chief Hale,
and John Lynch, member of No.
hose company.
Connors dragged two of his injured
comrades from beneath heap of
burning debris and assisted in carry
ing them to a place of safety. This
was during the first fire.
During the second he carried help
less woman down the swaying aerial
ladder from the fourth story of q
burning building. Lynch followed
him with another helpless woman in
his arms.
The delay of single minute would
undoubtedly have resulted in the
death of both women.
Eighty-four horses were burned in
the fire which destroyed the barn of
the Kansas City Transfer company.

Gihhon In Parliament.

Edward Gibbon, the great historian,
sat in parliament for many years, but
achieved no success in the house. One
morning, he tells us. 'as he was de-
stroying an army of barbarians," a
knock came to the door, and the temp
ter appeared in the shape of friend
offering to secure him seat in parlia-
ment for the borough of Liskeard.
Gibbon represented the borough for ten
years (1774-17SS) without ever opening
his mouth; and once when moved to do
so he lacked the confidence to carry
him through. The great speakers
filled him with despair. and the bad
ones with terror. He grew heart tired
of ''this parliamentary prattle" and Of
1.-THE noise and nonsense of the Pande-
monium," as lie terms parliament In
his letters.

A Magnetic Island.

In the Baltic, the Danish island Born.
holm, which is situated about twenty
four miles, east by south, from the
nearest point of Sweden, may be re-
garded as a huge magnet. Although
the power of this magnetic island is
not so great that it can draw the nails
out of ships, as was told of the legend
airy magnetic hills, the magnetism OF
the rocks on the island of Bornholm
can and does cause a good deal Of
trouble to ships in quite another way.
for the island exerts such an influence
on the magnetic needle that it causes a
vessel to turn perceptibly aside from
its course. The effect of the island
magnetism is felt at distance of Is
kilometers, or about nine and one-half
miles.

DISHWAsHER GETS $4,000, 900.
Clara Wilson Discovers a Mine of Wealth
Near Circle City.


Clara Wilson, whose home is in Den
yer, Colo, and who went to a little
mining camp south of Circle City
Alaska. year and half ago to serve
as cook for a number of miners, passed
through Chicago recently en- route for
her old home at Scranton, Pa. Miss
Wilson does not have to wash dishes
for living now. She is not a hand
some young woman as personal ap-
pearance goes, but she is now the pos
SCISSOR of that which makes her the
loadstone where eligible young men
are present, and would afford her an
opportunity of taking her pick in or
binary company. In other words, the
dishwasher, Clara Wilson, returns tc
the United States worth probably ST.
100000, and all through her own efforts
Miss Wilson was not satisfied with
washing dishes. The result was that
she located a copper mine, which is
now being worked, and which is said
to be panning out as prolifically as any
of the gold mines that are making the
Klondike fields famous. She would
not advise any young woman to go to
that country who has not had some ex-
perience with miners or who is not
prepared to defend herself and undergo
the severest hardships. In that coun-
try self-preservation is truly the first
law of nature. Men forget all their
chivalry, and although women are
scarce they are not curiosities, and do
not seem to awaken any special inter
est among men. Alaska miners are not
sentimental. They are looking for
riches and they do not care how they
get them. She had to defend her
claim with a gun, she says.
