New York, March 29.-The cotton mar
ket was disturbed to-day by political I'M
easiness abroad and the sharp decline in
consols, followed by lower Liverpool quo
tations. Our market, however, opened
steady with prices unchanged to 3 points
higher or reports of a disastrous break
in the levees and consequent flooding Of
important cotton districts. Spectators
failed to appreciate this feature and the
local contingent had the market practic-
ally to themselves. Tolerably good re-
ports were received from the dry goods
districts and also from Fall River which
also checked selling. Private wires in
tlicating backward crop In portions OF
Texas, caused local covering In the after
noon. The market closed steady with
prices unchanged to three points lower.

leslie Parker, the three-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. D. Parker, made a
most miraculous escape from death
during a heavy thunderstorm at We'll
don, N. G. He went out on the porch
to catch the water dripping from the
caves In tin cup. A binding flash
came, followed by a most terrific re-
port, and Leslie fell out ns if dead. The
parents witnessed the child's fall, and
the agonzed father ran out, caught the
boy in his arms, and rushed across the
street to DR.. Green's. For ten minutes
the doctor could not discover the least
signs of life in the limp little body, and
1t was fully two hours before there was
any movement of the pulse. The light
ming struck the roof OF the building,
ran down the caves and split. A portion
of the deadly fluid ran down a large
pillar of the porch, splitting it, and scat
tering splinters over the floor. The
child was standing within two feet OF
the post and was struck on the head.
The hair was burned, and the fluid then
passed down to his neck, and tore into
fragments gold chain which little Les
lie was wearing, leaving a black streak
all around the child's neck. 1t then
passed down, burning the breast and,
other portions of the body. DR.. Green
had the child photographed, and says
it is the most remarkable case on rec
ord, and is without q parallel in medical
works. The child is apparently as well
as ever now, and appears to be bright,
though he has marks on his little body
made by, the lightning which will go
with him to the grave.

EPWOR1H LEAGUE.
Lesson For the Week beginning Oct. 81.
Comment by Rev. w. j. Yates. A. M.
Topic, Third Claude of Ep-
worth League Pledge.

SCRIPTURE READING.-Eph. v, 1852.
"I will attend, as far as possible, tho
religious meetings of the church and
take some active part in them. -
Pledge.
One of the first duties which presses
upon one when converted Is to unite
with the church Baptism, as the Nlsl-
BILE sign of entrance TO the Christian fell
lowship, should not be long, delayed.
But after one has taken the vows OF the
baptismal covenant and promised to
''renounce the devil and all his works.
the vain pomp and glory Of the world
and all covetOus desires of the same, so
that he will not follow nor be led By
them," it is extremely necessary to at
tend carefully upon the means of grace
in order to grow strong and become firm
in the Christian life. "A new born babe
can as easily care for itself and grow
strong if left alone as a young Christian
can become stable without joining the
church and using the regularly appoint
ed means for establishment in piety.
Many persons do well for awhile aft
or they join the church, but then relax
their diligence and omit reading the
Bible and private prayer, attendance
upon the services of the church and tes-
timony. The majority who fall into in
difference and open sin do SO gradually
and insensibly. A sense Of diffidence or
embarrassment leads them to-. omit
speaking in meeting. Pressure of en-
gagements and WEAKNESS tempts to alb
sence from meetings until one soon
loses relish for the place and the exer-
cises. Yet it is not suspected that one
has wandered or is in special danger.
The doctrinal belief remains as before
No special wrongdoing is INDUCED.
For all this the soul is cold, and the
sparkle has gone from the piety, and the
soul is in a condition very favorable to
temptation.
The pledge to attend and take part in
the meetings is wise. Every true Chris
tian should meet often with the other
members and gain strength by speaking.

I don't see but that each is as bad as the
rest;
The wild onions grow where our cows love
to feed
I wonder why God ever planted a weed!
Just then Uncle Jake with his snowy

Came riding along on his old sorrel mare.
And. seeing the farmers were talking to-
