Monarch up to the Times.

AS the fearless white man entered
the kraal of the native king, a salute
was sounded on a drum Of serpent
skin, and six warriors, with necklaces
of human teeth rafting about their
ebon throats, led him before rough
ivory dais, on which sat a majestic
and formidable figure.
Hail." said the white man.
And, without loss of time, he took
out one of his brass watches, wound
it up and showed its works to the
dusky monarch.
This marvel" he said, Il will give
your majesty, making you the envy
of all men and all tribes, in return
for only six tusks of not less than
seventy pounds weight each"
The king took the watch, produced
monacle from a pouch hidden in
his shield, and, after moments
study of the brass trinket, returned
it with a lanquid smile.

Stumps and rocks very often prove
nasty and troublesome obstacles in
the path of improvements, and much
time and labor are generally expended
before they are finally removed. 1t is
not always desirable to resort to blast
ing, with its subsequent dangers. and
an apparatus like the one shown here
would in nine cases out of ten be suf-
ficient for the purpose. The inventor.
a New Hampshire man, claims that it
is capable of exerting a maximum lift

A LIttIe Parable.

Hatred and Selfshness fell in love
with each other because they sa1,
that their deeds were alike evil.
SO they sought Beelzebub and asked
him to marry them.
Il will do IT," he said, but it must
be on one condition"
What is the condition." they
asked.
THAT the two of you, when legalls
made one, shall take new name.'
1T is agreed" they said.
So they we're welded with much
pomp and ceremony.
Now what is our new name?" they
Immediately inquired.
Human Folly" was the answer.
THAT name hereafter will include the
both of you, as, indeed, it practically
has done heretofore"
So the united two wander over the
earth. covering it with unhappiness
and frequently we refer to them by
their former names. but not the less
does their welded name apply to
either or both of them.-San Fran

Rewards d EaIthfulnens.

There is no treasure of the accom-,
plished mind, no grace of the well de-
yeloped body, no refinement of the
most fastidious taste. which will moi
be glorifed and wondrousiy increased
when used for the benefit OF mankind
or even of one stray individual. Thus
in the lowliest ways there come re-
wards to human faithfulneks. The no-
bic do not seek rewards. have no avidi-
ty for praise and are not anxious about
heaven. But these things come by the
love of God, by the eternal benehcence
of life into every life where founda-
tion has been laid for them tx unself-
ish motives and gracious deeds. Jesus
most truly represented the appreeia-
tion Of God when he said. "whosoeyer
shall receive a little child in my name
receiyeth me; and whatsoever receiy-
eth me, receiveth not me. but him that
sent me-" Life is not all toll and trou-
bic. On the contrary. 1t is all ennobled
by the ceaseless benedictions OF God.
which are showered upon all good de-
serving to be the light and happiness
and heaven OF our immortal souls.
