not select surer road to ruin than
to have a selfish motive back of every

in paralysis of character, as surely as

There is one young man who will
doubtless entertain his friends for
many years to come with the account
of the narrow escape from being muir
dered by a bloodthirsty robber or
lunatic. An exchange tells the story
in this wise: An eccentric Maine
preacher was recently driving along a
country road, and, overtaking young
man tramping his weary way on foot,
invited him to a seat in his wagon.
After he was comfortably seated the
preacher rolled the whites of his eyes
up under the visor of his cap and said
in sepulchral tones: young man, are
you prepared to die?" With an ear
piercing scream and back somer-
sault over the back of the sleigh the
young man made for the dense woods,
and has never been seen in those
parts since.
