DRAFT THAT SAVED A TOWN.
DcliNerance of RothenburG Through
the Drinking Capacity of
Citizen.

Nhltsuntlde of each year Witnesses
in the historic town of Rothenburp,
on the Tauber, the acting of drama
which recalls a deliverance. In the
Thirty Years war, when the vie
tories of Gustavus Adolphus had
endangered the Catholic league.
lilly came to besiege Rathen-
burg, which was in league with
the Swedes. The English Illus
trated Magazine describes the town
as being ut that time wealthy and
well fortified, standing upon steep
cliffs above the Tauber, and having
massive, tower-crowned walls. Its
citizens were proud, trained in arms,
and well provided with cannon and
ammunition.
Against this town came lilly. with
massive guns that soon put fortune
on his. side. The defenders of the
place, however, contested every inch
of ground. Not until the powder
tower exploded through a grenade of
the enemy did the Swedish garrison
and citizens reluctantly hang out the
ntitC dlL0i a III VI OF uOuES.
lilly would hear nothing of terms Of
capitulation. The Swedes might with
draw, but unconditional surrender
was demanded of the town. When he
had taken possession of the beautiful
rathhaus, he sent for the senate, with
Burgermeister Behold at their head
and announced their condemnation to
death for their obstinate resistance
and their disobedienee to the imperial
commanders.
In vain did the women and children
crowd into the marketplace, throw
ing themselves at the feet of the vic
tors and begging for mercy. lilly had
already summoned the executioner
when some of the wives succeeded in
pentrating into the council hall. The
conqucror at last allowed himself to
be softened, but he coupled his elem
ency with clause that apparently
made it of no avail. The senator's
should be spared if one of their num-
Der could empty at a draft the great
loving-cup of Tauber wine presented
to the victor.
Hopeless as the case seemed, the
condition was fulfilled by ex-Burger-
meister Nusch. who thus saved his
own life and the lives of his col
leagues.
The cup. which is Of glass and holds
about three quarts, is to this day in
the possession OF one of the lineaf
descendants of the mighty drinker
Thousands flock from all parts of the
continent of Europe every year to see
the tragedy enacted again. The real
cup is not allowed to be used in the
play but good imitation is in the
rathhaus
Rothenburg, although belonging to
the Bavarian monarchy, is to-day as
autonomous as any state in the Amer
lean federation. The bearing of its
inhabitants has a sturdy self-depend-
ence and equality about it which is
surely a remnant Of the days when
it was great and prosperous common
wealth.

WAS IN HEAVEN.

The following story is given in
an exchange: 1t might be worth
some Of our readers while to try
the same experiment Surely there
is ample opportunity these hard
times. A pastor had preached an
eloquent sermon about Heaven.
A wealthy member Of his church
met him the next day and said:
doctor, you told us a great many
grand and beautiful things about
Heaven yesterday, but you didn't
tell us where it is"
"Ab," said the pastor, 81 am glad
of the opportunity of doing so this
morning. l have just come from
the hill top yonder. In that cot
tage is a member of our church.
She is sick in bed with fever. Her
two little children are sick in the
other bed, aud she has not got a
bit of coal, or a stick of wood, or
flour, or sugar, or any bread.
"Now if you will go down town
and buy fifty dollars worth of
things, nice provisions, and send
them to her, and then go and say,
My sister, l have brought you
these provisions in the name of our
Lord and Savior, ask for a Bible
and read the twenty-third Psalm,
and then get down on your knees
and pray-if you don't see Heaven
before you get through, III pay
the bill"
The next morning he said:
"Pastor, I saw Heaven, and l spent
fifteen minutes in Heaven as GER
tainly as you are listening"

been far from the happiest men;
nor have they been conspicuous
for virtue or moral culture.
Never admit FOR one moment
that a child is beyond your control
Every human being has a will, and
a mighty engine is that will. 1t is
the silent influence belonging to
each individual. No one will deny
that the presence Of one person
will be very irritating, whilst that
of another brings peace and rest,
and yet another is like a tonic,
bracing as a fresh mountain breeze.
Now that influence is what par
ents and teachers WELD ad libitum.
If they would only realize i'll
That wonderful, silent influence;
that still, small voice so penetrat-
ing it can fiji a whole big room so
that each lite child can feel its
influence, which it will most surely,
and will slowly but surely acknowl-
edge it. Untiring patience and
self-control will make it plainly
manifest.
Let them see that in reproving
you are only seeking their best in
terests. Show them to what sad
consequences such faults may lead.
Itmay be very discouraging work
with many subjects, but one can
never tell how much good soil lies
beneath a hard crust into which
some little seed may penetrate and
take root to bear abundant fruit.
So let us never despair.
Never make them afraid to come
to you with all their little troubles.
1t will save many a heartache in
after life.
In the home and in the school
let each little soul know that it
Yields a wide Influence for GOOD
or for evil.
L would plead, too, that each be
taught that it is a responsible be-
ing. Many and many a life has
been wrecked by reason of having
grown to maturity without know
ing a sense of responsibility.
Join interests with theirs and
make them feel that they are as
sistants in the home and in the
school room.
"Busy work" has been found for
the school room, 30 that no child
should be allowed tosit idle. When
at home let their interests be found
in the home, not away from home.
Throw some responsibility on each
one. This partnership business is
productive Of great good to both
parties.
Let love be our guiding star.
