Never Saw Him Before.


l was crossing on an Atlantic liner
once when the sea was very rough and
nearly all the passengers were seasick.
Patrolling the promenade deck one
day, l came across lady in a reclin-
ing chair in the very extremity of pros
tration. By her side was the figure of
a man in collapse from the same dis
order, bis head resting in the lady's
lap.
AS she seemed to be otherwise quite
alone, l yentured to address her, say
ing:
Madam, can 1 be of any assist
ance?"
She feebly shook her head for an
swer, being apparently too far gone
for speech.
But" l went ON, surely 1 must do
something for you. 1t seems you are
unattended, since your husband APP
pears to be in greater distress than
yourself"
The lady murmured with the utmost
abandon of weakness and Indifference:
HE is not my husband; l never saw
him before in my life.''

IL Workad a Cure.

IL Worked a Cure.
A certain clergyman in Richmond,
says Success, has had in his employ
for SO long a time negro named Jul
liam that the latter had come to regard
himself as something of confidential
adviser to the divine.
Early one Sunday morning the pastor
awoke feeling decidedly ill. After a
futile attempt at breakfast he sum-
moned his old faithful servitor, saying:
Julian, I want you to go to my as
sfstant, Mr.. Blank, and tell him that,
as / am unwell he will officiate for
me in this mornings service
At this Julian demurred and after
some argument persuaded his master
that he would feel better if he officiat-
ed as usual. This the latter did, and,
as predicted by the darky, he did re-
turn home feeling much better.
"You'se better, subj" asked the
servant, meeting his master at the
door
Every much better, thank you, Jul
liam"
The darky grinned. what did I tell
you, sub? I knowed you would be all
right just as soon as you got that SER

THE REASONS FOR 1T,

The opponents of abolishing second
class fare, and who offered the diff
ferential roads a smaller differential
on the eastern business, do it on the
theory that the strong lines do a ma
jority of the business, and all of the
steamship business moves on second
class fare, and the standard lines
make no effort to secure this kind of
traffic

soul no more with creeds;
They are only stones and husks to my
hungry spirits needs.
I am tired of striving sects. with their
various bigotry-
All, for me death holds no terror but the
fear Of losing thee,
In a heaven apart from thee could my
exiled soul rejoice?
Could l join the angels song, missing
thence thy tender voice?
What to me were gates of pearl IL they
parted thee and me?
What the streets so fair and golden IL
walked them seeking thee?
What to me the pastures green where thy
feet could never be?
What the paths beside still waters II thou
walkest not with me?
All, wherever after death my still faith
full soul may dwell
Saints may call it bliss woe; they may
name 1T heaven or hell
BY thee only, o beloved, will my joy or
pain be wrought;
I shall find my heaven beside thee, or my
hell where thou art not,
