An excellent reply was that once
made by a Yankee pilot to the owner
of Mississippi river steamboat. The
boat was at New Orleans, and the Yam
kee applied for the vacant post of pilot,
saying that he thought he could give
satisfaction, provided they were ''look-
in for man about his size and build"
"Your size and build will do we'll
enough" said the owner, surveying the
lank form and rugged face of the ap-
plicant with some amusement, "but do
you know about the river, where the
snags are, and so on?" "Well, I'm
pretty we'll acquainted with the river"
draWled the Yankee, with his eyes
fixed on stick he was whiting, "but
when you come to talkin' about the
snags, don't know exactly where they
are, must say"
Don't know where the snags are!'
said the boat owner, in tone of dis
gust; then how do you expect to get
position as pilot on this river?"
"Well, sir" said the Yankee, raising
a pair of*keen eyes from his whiting
and meeting his questioner's stern gaze
with whimsical smile, II may not
know just where the snags are, but
you can depend upon me for KNOWN
where they amt, and that's where I
calculate to do my sailin'."

And at that moment we were sucked
down into the sea. With the last
words he spoke, the ship had reached
the water line, and sank in wild whirl
of waters. A prayer passed through
my mind, and believed my time had
come. But the mast which had held me
fastened to the deck now proved to be
my salvation. Immediately the deck
was below the water the mast foated
or, leaving me free, and with the in
stinct of self-preservation I struck out
Justify. I am good swimmer, and
shortly after rose to the surface of the
water my hands came upon small
piece of rock jutting up from the sea.
Not knowing its size or extent, I OBJ
tanned risky foothold upon it, and,
dash1ng the waters from my eyes,
looked eagerly forward. Surely it was
by a special act of Providence that,
amidst the struggling heads and limbs
OF the hapless drowning persons around
me, saw but one face, which rose like
an apparition from the water. It was
Mabeps face, turned toward the rock
to which chung, and in that awful mo-
ment we recognized each other. A
look Of convulsed JOY amazement, and
terror-terror, as. though she were gaz-
ing upon a being from another world
flashed into her eyes. Her arms were
raised aloft, snd in them was child
my child, Bob! What was to be done
in that dread moment of my life? If
l plunged into the sea it would be fatal
to all of us, for the drowning persons
would inevitably clutch at me and
carry me down with them, I decided
Instantly upon my plan. With one
arm round the sharp rock, which cut
into my fesh-but I did not feel it
partially lowered myself into the water,
and held out my other arm, which I
judged would just reach Mabel, in the
expectation that she would seize my
hand and that should be able to draw
her to my rock of refuge. But as I
laid my hand upon my boy, Mabel fell
from me, or was torn from me by
fierce wave, and sunk before my eyes.
With my boy pressed close to my bos-
ON, I dashed forward in desperation
to rescue her; but I was swept away
by rush of whirling spars from the
wrecked ship, and, without knowing
how it happened, found myself being
drawn into boat which was lying off
near the caves mouth.

AS TRUE AS GOSPEL.

A man in the right with God on his
side is in the majority though he be
alone.
A great opportunity will only make
you ridiculous unless you are prepar-
ed for it.
The true rewcrd of a workman is
not his wages, but the consciousness Of
having done good job.
1t is not our failures that ruin us,
but our fear and hardness in making
new beginnings after failure.
One of the highest eminences upon
which we may stand in life is to be
able to look back upon a long life
we'll spent.
There are few things impossible in
themselves, and the application neces-
sary to make them succeed is more
often wanting than the means.
The reflection of light remains light,
even when it is troubled. We may not
see the shape Of our star when the rip
Piles shake it but it's color and ra-
dance are always there
Work is victory. Wherever work is
done victory is obtained. There is
no chance and no blanks. You want
but one verdict; if you have your own
you are secure of the rest.
Our characters are formed and sus-
tanned by ourselves and by our own
actions and purposes and not by others.
Caluminators may usually be trusted to
time and the slow but steady justice Of
public opinion.
Love is active, sincere, affectionate,
pleasing and amiable; courageous, pa
tient, faithful, prudent, long suffering,
manly, and never seeking ITSELF For
in whatever instance person seeketh
himself there he falleth from love.

Nearly all of Gods work in this
world is done by humble workers in
humble spheres, in lowly places, with
a courage as sublime as that of Luther
or Paul.-Rev. George L. Perrin.
Our lives between the cradle and the
grave seem succession of trials and
sorrows, with a few joys here and
there to tighten the otherwise unsup-
portable burden.-Mrs. Gestefeld.
In the operation of Karma which is
the Sanscript for ethical causation,

do with the ego only-T. B. Wilson.
"All things are yours" This text is

Something for Nothing.

There is no form of deceit more like
ly to occur than self-deception, and Of
all kinds of self-deception none are
more tempting than the things which
happen when man sendeavors to get
something for nothing. Nor is it more
reprehensible to get money in this
way than it is to get a reputation
without giving an equivalent-in fact,
there is more damage in the latter
than in the former proceeding. All
sorts Of gambling arise from the desire
to get something for nothing without
rendering adequate recompense, stock
gambling and the bucket shops and its
fruits. The world is twisted and torn
by its tremendous tendency.-Rev. w.
