"Pa's Prayers. +"

One hard winter, when sickness came
to the poorly paid pastor of a certain
New England church, his flock deter
mined to meet at his house and offer
prayers for the speedy recovery Of the
sick ones and for material blessings
upon the pastors family. While one
of the deacons was Offering fervert
prayer for blessings upon the pastor s
household there was a loud knock at
the door. When the door was opened
a stout farmer-boy was seen.
what do you want, bOy?" asked
one Of the elders.
I've brought pal prayers, replied
the boy.
Brought pas prayers2 Why. what
do you mean ?"
yep, brought his prayers, an they
are out in the wagon. Just help me
an well get em in.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
"pa's prayers" consisted Of potatoes,
-four, bacon, cornmeal, turnips, apples,
warm clothing, and lot of jellies for
the sick ones. The prayer meeting
adjourned in short order.

Personated the Devil.


A recent dispatch from Bourbon,
Indiana, says: Rev. Mr. Akin, pas
tor of the flock of Bethel church, Sun
day night took for his theme "His
Satanic Majesty" He is an eloquent
man and he painted the arch-fend in
vivid colors. At the climax of the
description a being dressed to repre-
sent the devil, with large head and
switching tail, ambled up the aisle,
blowing smoke from its nostrlls and
believing, II am the devil, and l
want all of you" The audience be-
came panic-stricken. Men, women
and children were hurled to the floor
and trampled upon in the mad rush
for the door. In the confusion the
stove was upset and the building
caught fire. Before the horrifed mem-
bers regained their senses the FIRE had
made such headway that all attempts
to save the church were in vain. Next
morning, George Akin, son Of the pas
tor, confessed that he, with the help
Ofother boys, rigged up a devil suit,
and, knowing the subject of his faith
er's sermon, concealed himself behind
a chair and awaited the arrival Of the
audience.

The Egyptian Pyramids.


The great pyramid Of Gizeh is the
largest structure Of any kind ever
erected by the hand Of man. It's orig
inal dimensions at the base were 7o4
feet square, and its perpendicular
height in the highest point is 4s5 feet;
it covers four acres, one rod and Y
percbes Of ground. and has been esii-
mated by an eminent English architect
to have cost not less than 9S0,00O,OOO
whichin United Statescurrency would
be about Sl45, 100000. Internal ev-
licences proved that the great pyramid
was begun about the year 2l70 B. @,
about the time Of the birth Of Abra-
ham. II is estimated that about 5,000.-
600 tons Of bewn stones were used IN
its construction, and the evidence
points to the fact that these stones
were brought distance Of about 'oV
miles from quarries in Arabia.

dered his men to do little prospect
ing in the neighbOrhoOd. Cautiously
the men dug into the soft stone, which
shone and glistened like polished mar
bic in the frosty air, and inside of an
hour they had found three bodies, or
rather the outline of what had once
been human bodies, each one now a
part of the sandstone in which 1t re-
posed.
In each case the figure was stretched
at full length, with the hands crossed
on the breast The features could not,
Of course, be distinguished, except in
a general way, on account of the coarse
grain of the stone, but 1t was noted,
however, that the heads were well
formed, the cheek bones high aud the
shoulders of great breadth The forms
were of different lengths, the longest
being nearly seven feet and the short
est a trife over four
Imbedded in the sandstone in one
of the forms, or outlines, was tooth,
that of human being, and as it was
where the mouth, if the outline was
that of a man, would be, this was con-
sidered proof positive that the figures
were those of the people Of some an
cient race who lived on the North
American continent when the world
was young.
Huge masses of sandstone contain
ing these gray outlines were dug out
and removed by MacHenry and his
men. They were too large and heavy
to be carried away at the time, so a
shanty was erected over them for the
day. Later in the afternoon they
were loaded on a ear and stored in
warehouse near the track, where the
coroner inspected them.

Equal to the Situation.

A story is told Of a colored preacher
who was holding meeting in large
tobacco barn in a rural district in
Kentucky. An empty tobacco hogs
head was impressed into service as an
elevation upon which to stand while
delivering his discourse. Warming
up with his subject, be soon became
excited. Throwing his arms into the
air above his head and eievsting one
foot, be exclaimed: "De righteous
shall rise and De wicked shall fall y
At the word "fall" he brought his foot
down vehemently upon the head Of
the hogshead, and like fash it gave
way and he dropped out Of sight, be-
ing short Of stature. Amid the pre-
cipitated uproar he reached 10 and
grasped the chime Of the barrel and
drew himself into view, shouting.

His Mothers His Sweetheart.

His mothers his sweetheart-the
sweetest, the best :!
So say the white roses he brings TO my
breast
The roses that bloom when life's sum-
mers depart;
But his love is the sweetest rose over
my heart
The love that hath crowned me
A necklace around me,
That closer TO God and to Heaven hath
bound me
His mothers his sweetheart. " Through
all the sad years
His love is the rainbow that shines
through my tears;
Ny light in Gods darkness, when with
my dim eyes
| see not the stars in the storm oil his
skies.
When | DOW meath the rod
And no rose decks the sod,
His love lights the pathway that leads
me TO God
His mothers his sweetheart. Shine
bright for his feet,
o lamps on life's highway and roses
lean sweet
To the lips of my darling and God
grant His sun
And His stars to my dutiful, beautiful
one
For his love-it hath crowned me
A necklace around me,
And closer TO God and to Heaven hath
bound me

A Trustworthy Man.


Stephen Girard, the infdel million
aire Of Philadelphia, to whom statue
was dedicated some days ago, on one
Saturday ordered all his clerks to come
on the morrow to his wharf and help
unload newly arrived ship. One
young man replied quietly, "Mr.
Girard, cant work on Sunday
well, step up TO the desk and the
cashier will settle with you" For
three weeks the young man could lind
no work, but one day a banker came
to Girsrd to ask If be could recon-
mend man for cashier in new bank.
This discharged young man was at
once named as a suitable person.
"But, said the banker. you dismissed
him. "Ye., because he would not
work on Sundays a man who would
lose bis place for conscience's sake
would make a Trustworthy cashier.
And he was appointed.

Nineteen Years Ago.


The st. Louis Globe Democrat SAYS:
Walter Hutchings is prominent
member Of the Conductors Association
and halls from Hagerstown, Nj.
He has been passenger conductor on
the Norfolk and Western road for
nineteen years. and ran the first train
that passed over this road This road
passes through number Of historic
localities. From Hagerstown, Nd, to
Roanoke, Va, it passes through the
battlefield Of Antietsm and crosses the
Potomac river at Shepherdstown, and
on to Charlestown, w. Va, where
John Brown was hanged, and runs by
the Natural Bridge.
when the Norfolk and Western
road first began running trains the
dense ignorance and wonderful curios-
ity of the mountsineers from the Blue
Ridge caused many amusing incidents,
said Mr.. Hutchings, Il remember one
day an old lady was passenger on
my train, and had TO watch her. the
same as all other mountaineers, to see
that she got of at the proper destins-
ton. | took up her ticket as ! passed
through the train, and as we were
pulling into BentOnvllle, Va, asked
her if that was not her station. She
replied Yes, this is my station, lut
feller came through here and got my
ticket, and | don't know whether IT Is
safe to get of without my ticket or not.
She believed that she ought to have
her ticket before getting off. ! assured
her that il was the habit OF the man
who ran the train TO take the tickets.
For several years, when the mountain
GERS got aboard a train, they would
invariably knock at the door Of
coach to see if it were proper for them
to enter The men would remove
their hats on entering a coach, just as
if they were visiting nelghbots
house. While this was an exhibition
of their ignorance, it was also proof OF
their genhhty at home. They are
kind hearted and generous.
Zone day young lady going to
Natural Bridge wanted to pay her fare
in postage stamps. told her that ~
it was a holiday the company would
not accept stamps. She then un-
wrapped a small bundle Of paper and
took out new 81 bill. But she dit
not want to give me the bill until
had first given her the change, as 'he
was fearful that might Jump oil the
train with her money. Crowds Of
mountaineers used to stand at the sta
tions and look with awe at the loco
motive. have often heard them re-
mark: The way that engine is pant
ing. it must be tired. They really
regarded a locomotive as a sor, OF semi
human being. Many a time have
seen passengers sitting inside a coach
shove their heads through a pane OF
glass in a closed window when they
started to tell their friends goodby st
a station. The glass was clear, and
many Of them never bad glass windows
at home, any way, and 70 they never
thought that any glass was before
them"

py more time than he is worth. He
is entirely unfit for a commission, IN
asmuch as he takes no pains to I'M
prove himself, nor does he study TO

He, although never what you could

he is with opium. His performance
last night is sufficient evidence to
hang him. As far as can learn the

Gen. Stevenson sent the above re-

Poor Guild was the scape-goat. Af-
ter the capture be passed back with
in a half mile of Col. Reno's camp and
in a quarter ola mile of Lieut.. Chase S
company, and they must have been
stupefed also. A few days after this
raid Sheridan sent a regiment of cav
airy to Dumelds, with instructions
"to scour the country and dispose of
the lawless runians who are commit

will be given these persons, who have
