Religious Life.

Religious life is more like feeling,
since feeling may be physical, misdi-
rected, selfish. 1t is more than knowl-
edge, which, even if it be complete and
accurate, may fail to govern the moral
nature. 1t is more than obedience to
a moral code, because such obedience,
If sufficiently complete to be religious,
already implies relations to the, Law
giver. And yet, religion is feeling; 1t
is mental illumination; it is especially
moral; because it is that which i'm
plies and comprehends and combines
them all. 1t is the sacred bond freely
accepted, generously, enthusiastically,
perslstently welcomed, whereby the
soul engages to make a continuous ex-
penditure of its highest powers in at
lacking itself to the Personal Source
and Object of its being. 1t Is the tie
by which the soul binds itself to God,
its true friend. To be thus bound 10
a person Is to cherish strong, nay,
passionate feelings towards him; it is
to seek to know all that can be known
about the wishes and character and to
register this knowledge in exact
terms; it Is to obey scrupulously all
that is clearly ascertained to be His
will. Show Thou me the way that |
should walk in, for l lift up my soul
unto Thee" This is the language CT
intelligence ever during a higher
knowledge of His highest object; it is
the language of obedience, the most
absolute that man car proffer. 1t is be-
cause it is the voice, the exceeding
great cry, of that unquenchable pas
sion, of that irrepressible aspiration
whereby the soul of man shows forth
its truest dignity and highest virtue in
seeking the better to know and love,
and serve it's highest and invisible OBJ
Ject; because, in a word, it is the Ian.
guage of religion.-Liddon.

How a Hedge Hog FIGHTS a Snake.

Several years ago | was an inter.

a hedgehog and a huge blacksnake,'
said w. D.. Ingraham of Memphis re.
Gently. Il came upon the scene just
as the hedgehog began the attack upon
the snake, which was lying stretched
out on the road asleep. The hog ad-
vanced cautiously upon the reptile and
seized its tail in it's mouth, giving il
a sharp bite. Then he quickly with
drew a few feet, and rolling himself
into a compact spiny ball, awaited de-
velopments. The snake, upon being
thus rudely awakened, turned in fury
upon it's antagonist, striking the hog
again and again with it's fangs. The
willy hedgehog securely intrenched with
in its spiny armor, remained perfect
ly motionless all the while, allowing
the snake to keep up the attack. Atrv-
cry stroke the jaws of the snake would
become filled with the spines until at
last, exhausted and bleeding from
dozens of wounds caused by the needle
like spines of the hog, the snake gave
up the battle. This was evidently what
the hedgehog was waiting for, as he
Immediately proceeded to roll over the
snake again and again, until he had
completely disedmbowled his victim"

MANDY'S BARRICADE.

When the widow Harding married
Hiram Hopkins she knew she was do
ing a foolish thing. She possessed a
neat, little home, surrounded by fer
tile acres, but he had nothing besides
a pension of SIS a quarter and the rep
utation of being the LATEST man in the
township.
But the widow was lonely and Hi
ram had taking ways with women
folk and she yielded to his solicita-
tions. She hoped that matrimony
might cure him of his idleness, but
after the first few weeks he settled
down into his old habits and the lit
tie place, instead of improving, as
Mrs. Hopkins hoped, soon began to
run down. For having taken unto
herself a husband, she did not feel
able to hire a man to do the work, and
as Hiram would not do it at the end
of their second year of life together
the once heat and pretty little farm
looked terribly neglected.
One warm spring morning, moved
by some particularly sharp remarks
made by his wife, Mr.. Hopkins took
his hoe and proceeded to weed the
garden, which was overrun with
weeds. He Don lay down to rest,
however, and fell asleep a few mo-
nlents before his better half, touched
by his seeming industry, brought, with
a tempting lunch to encourage him.
When she saw him sleeping she reck-
lessly tossed the lunch into the pig
pen and returned to the house with
her heart full of bitter rebellion.
When Hiram at last awoke, dread
ing his wife's displeasure at the non
performance of his task, he secured
his fishing pole surreptitiously and
disappeared.
Mrs. Peters, an old friend of Mandy
Hopkins, was waiting for her when
she returned from the garden. Mrs.
Peters could have chosen no more un-
propitious time for asking, after a
short chat:
For mercy's sake, Mandy, whatev-
er possessed you to marry Hiram
Hopkins?"
Mrs. Hopkins upper lip drew in
omlnously as she answered, stifiy:
Il was lonesome an needed a man
about, an Hiram-he loved me-"
The other laughed dryly. Loved
yer prop'ty, more like" she remark
ed. Folks says it's a born pity he
don't keep it up better'n what he
does. Look at them fences ready to
keel over! Whatever ails yer garden ?
It's a righteous shame to look at.
Can't"
Without a word Mandy Hopkins
rose and marched out of the room
The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1898-09-10

with flaming cheeks, and, though the
meddlesome Mrs. Peters waited for
ten minutes and made a careful ex-
animation of the house and cellar in
hope of finding her, she remained in
visible, and the visitor departed in
high dudgeon.
Out in the back pasture lot, under a
great old apple tree, poor Mandy
writhed and sobbed in anguish of
heart, unmindful of the fragrant pink
petals that fell around her and softly
touched her as if in pity for her pain.
Between her sobs she told herself that
affairs had come to such a crisis a few
years she would not have a root to
cover her head. Besides this, as Mrs.
Peters had said, folks were talking and
that was the last straw.
Having formulated a plan she
checked her tears and composing her
c~ountenance returned to the deserted
house. Toward the edge of the even
ing Hiram, carrying a good string of
fish, slowly entered the yard. He
tried the kitchen door and finding it
locked, although sounds could be
heard within, he called out: MANDY,
I've fetched a mess of fish for sup
per-"
Receiving no answer, he called
louder: Mandy, let me in. Here's
some fish to cook for supper"
At this the little sliding window in
the living-room was pushed back eau
tint1cIy on1 Mrc Hon1;--t ----
peared.
Hiram Hopkins" said she sharp
ly, Il amt agoin' to let you in nor to
cook you nothin' till you promise me,
solemn earnest, to mend your ways
an take care of this prop'ty as it
should be-"
There was such determination in
her voice hat the luckless man knew
every word was meant. Shocked and
amazed at this unexpected disaster, he
sat dow on a bench near the house
to mediate. Presently he rose, and,
going to the window, said loudly:
This amt the way TO treat your
lord an master, Mandy, an 1 don't
purpose to stand it. 'Taint the way
10 lIcdt lHc-yOuI ldWlul uuSDdHu, 10
honor an obey, as the parson put it
when he jined u.s."
Again the window was pushed back
q crack and Mandy declared that
shed honor an obey him when he
promised to do his duty by her and
the place and give up his idle, lazy
ways, and not until then"
At this Hiram sullenly withdrew to
the bench and the window was once
more pushed into place.
Mandy hoped that Hiram would
promise and he hoped she would re-
lent, and neither of them calculating
upon the other manifesting much
~rmness. Their surprise was mutual
en- 10 o'clock found the situation
hanged.
The night grew very chilly and Hi
ram tried to rest, shivering on the
bench, sometimes pacing up and
