Johns Many Names.

The majority of the names that you

fancy names adopted for their auspi-

TAKING IN Mr.. MOODY.
How His Confidence Was Abused b,
the Natives of Bethany.

How His Confidence Was Abused by
the Natives of Bethany.
When D. L. Moody went to Bethany
during his travels in the east, he was
very soft hearted over all the multi
tude of beggars there, not only because
the place is so unusual, but because he
was moved by its beautiful traditions.
He gave quantities of "backsheesh"
and then asked IL any of the children
had the names of Mary and Martha.
Yes, indeed, they had. And that open
ed his pockets again.
The news of his generosity spread
through the village. and new claim
ants came until his visit seemed likely
to result in a fight for existence. The
case was getting desperate, and he
told the dragoman to call for silence
while he made an address. Then he
said:
81 have come COCO miles to see this
little village of Bethany. 1t was a
place my Master loved to visit, and l
have come TO see it because he loved
1t. am very glad to meet you all, but
now want to be alone. l have no
more backsheesh, and bid you good
by"
A fine looking boy of 16 replied to the
address. He spoke fluently and with
the grace of an orator. Mr.. Moody
was delighted with the beginning of
his grafton, but not with its conclusion.
1--WE are glad to see the gentleman
and his friends who have come SO far,
but the gentleman must not think that
his actions are equal to the Importance
of his visit Six thousand miles is a
long way to come. and the gentleman
must have sacrificed much to make the
visit. In consequence it is natural for
us to expect that he would be munih-
cent in backsheesh. This he has not
been, and we now expect that he will
give us great deal more"
Mr.. Moody was so Disguised that he
abandoned the situation entirely and
hurried away with his friends.
II did think" said he, that boy had
soul above backsheesh."
"And did you think, too, that some
of the children We're named Martha
and Mary% he was asked.
Certainly. Why notY'
Nothing; only they were all boys

Demand For Excelsior.

The present annual production in
this country of excelsior is about 60,000
tons. Put to a great variety Of uses
excelsior is most commonly used for
packing purposes, and in such uses il
is employed for many very different
kinds of things. 1t is used, for exam
pie, in the packing OF things SO fragile
as eggs and things so solid as iron
toys. In the various uses to which 1t is
put excelsior is most in demand where
manufacturing is carried on, so that
the larger part of the great quantity Of
this material now produced in this
country is used east Of the Mississippi

LOVE ANO NAlURE.

Dear Love, when spring has come, all nature
wakes
And from her languid lids the bandage takes
To look with wondering eyes upon the world.
The trees unfold their robes OF sivery green,
And thrifty insects from the blossoms CLEAN;
Each birding finds mate both fond and tre,
And l. dear Love, have you.
Dear Love, in summer time each heightened day
To harvest feldsa tribute rich must pay
OF sunshine packed in grains Of yellow corn.
The Garth is weighted with the seasons store;
No creature, tree nor vine can ask for more.
Nature has satisfied each bird and beg
Has given you to me-
Dear Love, chill fall doth paint in colors.rare
The forests and the fields that soon grow bare
AS winter clasps them to her icy breast
Nature must wake and work and rest awhile,
Must sleep and cry, perchahce, as well as smilej
And nature, life and love are one, know,
Because love you so.
