THE PREACHERS VACATION.

The old man went to meetin', for tn
day was bright and fair,
Though his limbs were very totterlng,
and twas hard to travel there;
But he hungered for the Gospel, so he
trudged the weary way,
On the road so rough and dusty, meath
the summers burning ray.
By and by he reached the building, to
his soul holy place,
Then he paused and wiped the sweat
drops off his thin and wrinkled face;
But he looked around bewildered, for the
old bell did not toll
All the doors were shut and bolted, and
he did not see soul.
So he leaned upon his crutches, and he
said. "What does it meanT'
And he looked this way and that, till it
seemed almost dream;
lie had walked the dusty highway, and
he breathed heavy sigh,
Just to 90 once more to meetin', ere the
summons came to die.
But he saw a little notice tackled upon
the mcetin' door,
So he limped along to read it, and nc
read it DER and DER,
Then he wiped his dusty glasses, and
he read it DER again,
Till his limbs began to tremble and his
eyes began to pain.
As the old man read the notice, how it
made his spirit burn
'Pastor absent on vacation; church Is
closed till his return"
Then he staggered slowly backward, and
he sat him down to think,
For his soul was stirred within him, till
he thought his heart would sink.
So he unused aloud and wondered, to
himself soliloquised:
81 have lived to almost eighty, and Was
never so surprised,
As | read the oldest notice stickln' On
the meetin' door,
Pastor of on a vacation; never heard
the like before.
"Why, when | first joined the meetin'
very many years ago,
Preachers Travelled on the circuit, in the
heat and through the snow.
If they got their clothes and victuals,
twas but little cash they got,
They said nothing bout vacation, but
were happy with their lot.
"Would the farmer leave his cattle, or
the shepherd leave his sheep,
Who would give them care and shelter
or provide them food to eat
So it strikes me very sing when
man of holy hands
Thinks he needs to have vacation, and
forsake his tender lambs.
Tell me, when | tread the valley ano
go up the shining height,
Will / hear no angels singing, will |
see no cleaning light?
Will the golden harps be silent, Will
meet no welcome there?
Why the thought is most distractin'
'Twould be more than | could bear
'Tell me, when l reach the city ovel
on the other shore,
viii | find little notice tackled npor
the golden door,
Tellin' me, mid dreadful silence, VII

Jesus absent on vacation, Heayer
closed till his return p "

John G. Ford of Trenton, n. j., showed
no outward sign of fear when she dis
covered man trying to break into her
bedroom Thursday night. Instead OF
fainting and screaming, she went quietly
to a bureau drawer and secured pistol.
The burglar had barely entered the house
when he was confronted with the weapon
in the hands of Mrs. Ford, who, save
for the servants, had been alone in the
house. "Throw up your hands and
don't move, or you're a dead man"
commanded Mrs. Ford. The burglar
did more; he sank on his knees and i'm
plored the woman not to shoot, at the
same time promising never to do another
dishonest thing if released. Mrs. Ford
was moved by the mans eutreaties and
permitted him to make for window,
and he slid down a rain-water pipe.
