Chixlca Dicrcns was a very little and a izrr dckly boy. but he bad always the be ll-f that hia circumstance had brought to him tha inestimable advantage of having greatly inclined him to reading. When mcnev troubles came upon his parents, the cccr little fsllow was taken away from ached and kept for some time at an oc2uTjation znest distasteful to him, with every surrounding tfct could jar on sensitive and refined feelings. But the great hardshiD. end the one which he felt mewt acutely, was .the want of the companionship of boys of his own ese. A few years later on we read in "2Ir. Forster' Life, a schoolfellow's deecripticn of Charles Pickens: "A healthy looking boy, email but well built, wittna more than usual flow of spirits, inclining to hinnlca fun, seldom or never, I think, to xaischief. He usually held his head more erect thin lads ordinarily do and thera was general smartness about him," This la also a very good personal description of the man. I have never heard him refer In any way to hia own childish days, excepting in one Instance, when he would tell the ttcry of how, wten be lived in Chatham, he and his father often passed Gad's Hill in tneir walks, and what an admiration he bad fcr tha red brick house with its beautiful old cedar trees, and how it seemed to him to be larger and finer than any other hours: and how his father would tell him that if he were to be very persevering and were to work hard he might perhaps some day come to live In it. I have heard him fell this story over and over again, when he had become the possessor of the Terr place T?h!ch had taken rach a hold npn his childiih tactions. Beyond thts I can not recall O ricgla isxtaac of any allusion being made

by him to his own early childhood. He be

lieved the rower of observation in very yonnc children to be close and acsurale, and he thought the reeollaction of most of n could go farther back than we tuppsse. I do not know how far my own memory may carry rxe back but I have no remembrance of my childhood which is cot immediately associated with him. lie had a wonderful attraction for children and a quick per ception of tbelr character and disposition; a mot winning and easy way with them, fnli c! far , bat aleo of grave sympathy with their rcai y small troubles and perplexities, which made them recognize a friend in him at ot.ee.

The reference of the word to a distinct order of the clergy came long afterward. To feed the Church. Literally, "To shepherd the Churcb;' the verb here being from the same word as that translated Hock in the previous clause, Purchased with his own blood. These words bear mighty testimony to the fact that Christ was not only man, but also God. (1) It was divine blood that was shed for us on the cross; how should we value it! (2) The true Church consists of those who have ascepted their purchased salvation. 29. For I know.

Some of these teachers of heresy are named in Paul's lat9r letter;, a Hymenaens, Alexander, and Pbiletue. They encumbered the Gospel with strange theories, and founded practictal cotes.

No other mention is made cf raul'a trade at Ephesus, but in Acts 15, 3, we learn his occupation, and from various epistles it is evident that he supported himself as a tent-maker in all the places where he preached; a common custom among Jewish teachers, adopted by Paul so that he might be lndepenent, and not saem to be seeking for gain while founding churches. There was then no missionary society to support workers In new fields, and no means in the church to maintain it; so that Paul's cond not Is here no rule for our time.

The uss of this word shows that the sentence which follows had been taught to them by the apostle. Tha words of the Lord Jesus.

RESPECT ruft UUMAS LIFE. la Familiarity With Crime Lendlnj to a Moral 91 o lUe? London spectator. 1 Is the retpect for human life increasing? We suppose most men competent to give up an opinion, and especially men familiar with social history, would reply that it wa. and they would have mnch to say for themselves. Frivate war has entirely ceased ;brntal murders especially marders on the roads, which were once frightfully common have grown much fewer, au i mnrdrs by order oi Kings and persons in authority have entirely ceased. Napoleon could have a man killed quietly, but . the Emperor William could cot. The laws in all Western countries have become infinitely less cruel, batches of executions for petty otTenses would no longer be tolerated, and the anishment of death is imlicted with ex'reme reluctance. Not only does a King like Hum bert of Italy sanction a capital sentence with a eort of personal pain, but a grave and ei perienced magistrate like M. Orevy, on moat points the firmest of men, can scarcely bring himself to sign a death warrant, and only last week commuted the capital sentence on a soldier who bad outraged a little girl and tben dashed out her brains. A catastrophe involving great loss of life in most countries rouses a kind of horror, and this even when the casuality has cot resulted from human carelessness, while an increasing attention, sympathetic attention, is paid to the death of individuals. The whole tone of the Karopean community has become perceptibly softer, and a massacre calls up emo tions which in the beginning of the century would have been thoupht either weak or se ctimental. Finally, in all countries individual life is safer; and though that proceeds in part from better police organization, it must also be due, in part at a'l events, to a decline in general ferocity. The very criminals are displaying a new aversion to kill. These are undeniable facts, and they would seem conclusive but that there are also facts upon the other side, which lead either to an opposite impression, or at all events t) a doubt whether the improved chance of living may not be attributed to causes o'her than increased belief in the sacredness of human life. There is incrpaed inftnp.s? hnt do we owe it to a decrease in femritv nr ti n decrease in fortitude, or have both diminu tions gone on together? We do not rind, either en the Continent or England, tbat the horror cf the duel st increases. The ca -torn of dueling is dead hero, it is true, beaten down by a variety of causes; but it rages incieasicgly upon tbe Continet, spreading downward we are told, to lower and lower strata, while even here few men would ob ject to associate with the duelist who had killed bis man, while many would reject the . . . i it , - .. acquaintance of the man who, when rilled on abroad to kill, has steadily refused. We doutt If the dislike of war has not declined, if pit bu not turned rather to the wounded than the Lulled, and are certain that the killing In t of hlarlr. hrnwn nr vol lo-or nor. 80na i8 ieEt thought of than it was. State ments are made every week in France aoout occurrences in Tonquin which would have crazed the old humanitarians, bat are received in silence. Everywhere, we fear, the horror of political asjassinatlnu has declined, until respectubla ia?n read the trial of the auarchists now going on in Leirsic, with a feeling that it is a political trial, and almost forget that an Empörer is a man aud a brother, and that killing him is a much murder as if he were a street sreeoer. There Is plenty of horror of the anarchist, but it is because ho seeks anarchy, and not because he sheds human blood. We all know tov; a Lind of worship of dynamite, as an effective instrument for killing the innocent, has spread in a limited class, and we do not see in its old fullness the hatred of 8ViCh criminals merely as authors of slaujhter. In Italy all men tell us that revengeful murder excites a certain sympathy, which again has been shown, with direst and provable injury to the tons of Parisian charac ter, toward Mme. CIovis Hugues. Journals in paii8 are justifying the killing of Morin, hs ii a criminals. ale were exactly like a tiger's. Even in England we have this week seen men convicted of murder andcannibsil ism on evidence so clear that it was nndis" puted, not only reprieved from the gallows, but allowed by the Home Secretary to satisfy justice by simple detention for six month. and the majority of the public approve a decision which is morally equivalent to iirdon. In other words, the public are not at all horrified by tbe killing of a weak lad in order that he might be eaten. There is. we suspect, a very powerful cau3a at work which tends to diminish sympathy for victims provided they are dead, and to develop sympathy for their assassins. Of the general growth ot sympathy no one doubts; it is the new and potent force which Is shaking institutions and raising the aim multitudes below; but few notice the inequality with which it works. The sympathy of the many, to be strongly excited, requires a concrete object a living being who can bs watched, and whose emotions can in a more or less perfect way be shared. The law by itself is, except to the few, too abstract a thing to call np sympathy; and though reason may, even among the multitude, consent to the punishment of the lawbreaker, sympathy is not roused against his act. Toiture is abhorred; but then to feel torture the man must be alive. It was notired shortly after AT me. Hugues had shot Morin that there was tv lull In the chorus cf eulogy upon her and her act, and that the enlo gists seemed troubled and ashamed; and the reason assiged was that Morin's agjniei in hospital from the wound bis head were 0 very terrible. They had nothing to do with the matter, being entirely outside the intention of the shooter and not a necs3iry comcquenceof her act; but the onlookers conld realize them, conld sympathize with them, and could, therefore, feel for the safferer the sympathy at first confined to the slayer. If Morin had died at once h'13 sida of the question would have been simply overlooked. It was not till Morin was dead that feeling again took its misdirection, and gronpes of ladies promised gigantic bouquets to Mme. Hugues. The irrational aud wicked sympathy shown by so many among ourselves with the guilty men of the Mignonette proceeds from exactly the same cause. The spectators, filled as so many of them are, with tales of the horrors of the sea, realize with painful acuteness the sufferings of the men in the boat, thegnawings ingsof hunger, the tortures of thirst, the ever-deepening hope.'essness, and fail ta realize that the unhappy boy who perished bore all these sufferings like his comrades, and a violent death besides. He escapes by his death from the fileld of popular vision; and the abstract idea of law, which is so solemn to a few that Sir W. Harcourt's decision transported them with a kind of sacred fury, was for the multitude never fully within it. They see it, we suppose, a little, or society would go to pieces, but it is by an effort and strain which it is difficult to keep up. The ordinary murderer again, is an interesting figure. Men realize him and his danger and his fear and the terrible nature of his sentence, and feel for him the pity which is unseen, because b dried, victim fails fully to excite. That one is dead and past: this one Is living and here; and the public fixes its eye on the latter, insists upon gentle treatment, and sometimes is clamorous for reprieve. It is this sympathy for the living because he is living to which all opponents of capital punishment habitually appeal. It is of little use scolding at the action of a multitude when It la obeying forces of whose operation it is ignorant. But if our view is correct and without it both French aud English conduct have cf late become hardly intelligible a great responsibility is thrown upon those who are enlightened enough to feel for both the victim and the law. It is upon them, and especially upon such of them as are journalists, that the duty is

thrown cf k'epine up the fo-titr.Je cf the

multitude and cdacatii:g the in;ainat:o l till it can see something beyond the crimical on trial can perceive bis victim, aud Ucome conscious of the ma;sty ot Kw.

Even ir. the .very fev case where the moral Jaw hss not b?ea broken the social law hss. and acquittal tbculd be accompanied by the fullest recognition of that fact. Tn publicists runst help the people out of their moral muddle, or, to far from jeein; society advance, we bhall see it re'.aiss into tbe old savagery, whn insult was avehced by anamination, and men carfd nothing fcr life if only they might have full revenue. The respect for human life, if it increases at all, doe not increase fast enough to protect civil zition without the aid both of the law and ef opinion, the latter of which, in the deciy of certain punishment for murder, tends to heroine flaccid. If it is a trifie to kill a man became you have only him to eat, whät is it to kill him because nis weaitn wouia mas whole frmilles happy? the very creed cf the roiacsers. We never remember before to have Eten so much or such wide-spread evidence of the miedirection of sympathy. faithful Canine Paper Carriers. INew li&vsn Morning News. Sagacious dogs on the line ot the Naugatuck Keilroad serve tbe:r masters as newsbujs. They have been taught when young to "go a considerable distance from heme to the trains and bring papers when thrown cut by the tewsmen or baggage masters. Thtir habits have been observed and are re lated by trainmen, who have witnesed thera day after day. A dog owned by Philip Mc Lean, proprietor of the Gate House on the Tacmaston road, goes every morning from heme to InchliU'a bridge where the train c cnes the river, a distance of ono and onenaii miles and carries the morning paper heme. The paper was formerly thrown off by tbe bra&emen on the last car and there tbe dog watched for it. Lately it has been thrown from the baggage car. The dog ap peared ancry at the chance, barked fu riously, and waited sullenly for some time before going on his errand. He has not yet become reconciled to the new nay of delivering his paper. Another dog owned by Edward Osborne at a farmhouse a mile back from the railroad comes regularly to meat the early morning paper tram below Naagituck. His cose is eeen through the beard fence as the train winds a curve, waiting patiently. He leaves the hou?e when hs hears the whistle at Beacon Falls, and reachfs the train in proper time without ever retting left. During the recent political campaign his owner, who had been for a long time taking The News, changed to another paper. Tua keen instincts of the sagacious animal soon discovered the change and he at ouce re futed to carry the new paper home. His master was unable to coax or drive hi:n New and dilferent papers were experimented with to no avail. While a young dog he was taught to carry The JNews and lie firmly persisted. The late Senator William Brown had a pet dog that conld readily distinguish the whistles of the New England engines from the angatucK, thoneh trains ran 0'i the Naugatuck and New England roads at the same time side by side. The faithful dog always found his train and car, and stood in waiting for the Hartford Times, which he carried home to his master for vears. There ii a doer below Derby, on tfie Nangatnck read, who has acted as family newsboy for eeveral years, carrying papjrs from the cars for the entire neighborhood. The papers are thrown out of the cars under full Freed. Whether one or a large bundle of them the dog is able to lug them oil', making good time back. Newspaper Ageat W. H. Beard3ley tells of a nuruoer cf other dogs that perform a like service. He mentions one that has become an old veteran as newsloy and cau not now, from age and rheumatism, get down to the cars. A younger dog has made his place good a fact that has greatly grieved the old dog, who master still cares for him on account of tha good he has done. Filial Devotlonof a Ilird. I3t. Nicholas. We have a eaying that charity bagins at home, and it has been added that a great deal cf the charity that begins at home slays there. Of this narrow sort of benevolence, too, we find examples among the anlmala. mere is the barbet, lor instance, it is a solitary bird, and sits most of the time in morose silence on a twie, waiting for its food (in the shape of aa insect) to tiy by. Sometimes it is saia 10 rouse ltseit and mace a descent upon the nest of some smaller bird, and eat ail the little ones. Certainly one would not look for any sort of benevolencd from sucn a bird; and yet it offers a very striking and very beautiful example of the begin-at-home and-stay-there kind. The celebrated naturalist, Levaillant, who hs3 told us so many interesting things about tne mras 01 Atrica and couth America, says that he discovered e barbet's nest in which there were five birds. Four of them were young and vigorous, but tne fourth was so old and weak that when it wai put into a xage with its comrades It could not move, but lay dying in the corner where It had been placed. when rood was put in the ca?e tne poor o d bird could only look at It longingly, without haviDg the strength to drag itself within reach of it. Then it was that the younger birds manifested a singular spirit of kinaness. Quicsiy, and even wito. an air cf tenderness, as it seems, they car ried foon to the decrepit old bird, and fed it as if it bad been only a fiedgliDg. Struck by this spectacle, the naturalist examined the nest from which the birds had been taken, and found it was full of hueka and the remains of insects, showing plainly that the old bird must have been maintained a long time by its vigorous companions, which probably were its own offsprinj runner study 01 other hires of the same species convinced the naturalist that it was the cutom for the old and infirm birds to be cared for oy the young and strong. There are several species of bar bets found in Africa and South America, and though cot graceful in sbape, many of them are ex ceedingly beautiful in plumage. They get their name from the .trench word barbe, meaning beard, became they have tufts of stiff hair at the base of tbe bill. Naturalists place them in a genus called Bacco, and iome persons call them puff-bird, because they have an odd way of puffing out the feathers all over the body, which then looks core like a bale of feathers than a bird. A Celebrated Thoroughfare. IMoblle Register, l The famous ehell road of New Orleans is a boulevard of almost snowy whiteness. nearly 200 feet in width and cine miles in length, extending from the western limits of the city to Lake Pontchartrain. A sum mer evening drive along the road through the forests of cypress and oak, the black moss hanging in festoons across the way, presents a weird and novel sight.

In trading at the stores there I pot a large quantity of tb eg tail?, and I got rid of them all except forty, wbicii at a nickel apiece, is just two dollars, and I made unmy mind to pass them off on a conductor. Now put the u rieht in vnnr rocket and turn them over to the general orfice as a sample of tne currency out in Dakota, and close the curtains.' I tried to reason with her. I told her gopher tails were no money, and that if I took them to the office they would give me the laugh. and I must have money. She said if I did not 2:0 rieht away from ner bertn Eue would Ecrcam and wake up everybody on the train, and the passengers would lynch me, and she got ready to scream. Well, I was paralyzed. I bad been talking with her too long, any way, and you all know how it would be it a woman should scream at three o'clock in the morning, in a sleeper, and fcrty passengers ihcuid put their heads out of the curtains aLd find a conductor with his head in a wo man's berth. They would all think he was a told, bad man. So I took my gopher tails m one hand and my lantern in tne oiner and went out into the bagcagecar. I thought it over and concluded to wait till morning, and speak: to her after she got up. We got breakfast at i'oi tage, and she was just tne neatest little woman ever was. After we 6tarted from Pcrtago I w?nt in and eat down opposite her an d bean to talk about the wt alher, aeked if she retted well, and she taid, 'Beg pardon, but I believe there isnothire further to be said. 1 paid you my tare,' and Ehe turned And looked out the window. Wei), I didn't ant to pull that handful of gopher tails out of my pockec and sho w them up. and can tue attention ci au tne paarengeis, because I felt as though she would get on her dignity and say I was a lunatic, and tbe passengers would au beueve it. bo l got up and walked out, and wnen lieft the tram here, as it pulled out for Chicago, she waved her handkerchief at mr aud smiled. I think tbe is the slickest confidence operator I ever taw. POISON A COMMON DEATH. Laudanum aud Morphia the Most Fatal and Common of Poisons. IChambers' Journal. In the year lhSl there were 5G9 deaths ra corded in England alone from poisoning while the year 18S2 shows a record consider ably in excess of this, viz. u09, or one in every bw ci tne total ceains regisxerea. Glancing over the various poisons, we nnn that the well-known preparations of opium laudanum and morphia opium itself being included head the Ü3t, ha7iug caused eighty-live deaths. This might have been expected irom pre parations so largely used in domestic remedies; but the seventy-eight deaths from lead poisoning which follow ao surprise us m view of tbe fact that the conditions which produce r.8 well as the conditions which mitigate or counteract the effects of this subtile poiscn are now so well known. Lead is followed by the four stronger acids hydrochloric, nitric, sulphuric and carbolic which among them have caused thirty-four deaths under the fame category. Arsenic, again, caused nine; phosphorus, elevea; chlorodoyne, six; chloral, fourteen; chloro form, four; eoothing svrup, four, with a best of casualties from substances of minor importance. Peaainc between the lines of theUegistrar General's report, which is not difficult to do with the help of the medical journals, we will find that there are two prolific causes of these accidents first, the giving or taking cf oveidcse of certain remedies containing poison, and, second, the substitution of one bottle or substance for another, as, for exampie, where a number of substances are congregated together, as In the case of the domestic cupboard. In the first class may be instanced the giving of overdoses of opiates it soothing preparations to children; the taking of overdoses of narcotics or soothing compounds, such as chloral, by habitual drinkers, and tbe general familiarity which tbe handling or using of these powerful agents frequently begets in those habitually using them. In the second class may be instanced such mistakes as the substituting of one bottle containing, say a poisonous liniment for a mixture intended for internal administration; the hasty and foolish practice of quaffing offa draught from any bottle, or dish without examining the contents, and, lastly mistakes caused from accumulating within easy access powerful medicines in the hope that they may come of)fnture use. LZJ A Wife Auction. The Annual Register for 1832 cave an account of a singular wife sale. Joseph Thorneon, a farmer, after a brief married life of three years, finding that the union was irksome, agreed with his wife to be separate. Acting upon the prevalent notion that by putting his spouse up to auction, and so parting her, the marriage bonds were legally unloosed, he came to Carlisle with her, and by the bell-man announced the sale. At coon the auction commenced in the presence of a large cumber of persans; the wife, a spruce, lively damsel of about two andtwenty years of age, being placed on a large oaklchair, with a halter of straw around her neck. Thompson then spoke as follows "Gentlemen, I have to offer to your notice my wife, Marry Anne Thomson, otherwise William?, whom I mean to sell to the highest and fairest bidder. Gentlemen, it is her wifh, as well as mice, to part forever. She has been to me only a born serpnet. I took her for my comfort and the gocd of my home, but she became my tormentor, a domestic curse, a night invasion, and a daily devil. Gentlemen, I speak truth from my heart when I say may God deliver cs from troublesome wives and frolicsome women! Avoid them as you would a mad dog, a roaring lion, a loaded pistol, cholera morbus, Mount Etna, or any other pestilential thing in nature. Now, I have shown you the dark side of my wife, and told you of her faults and fialings; 1 will introduce the bright and stfnny side of her and explain her qualifications aud goo IncEs. She can read novels ar.d milk cows; ate can laugh and weep with the same ease that you could take a glass of ale when thirsty. She can make butter and scold the maid; she can sing Moore's melodies and plait her frills and caps; sho can cot .make

rum, gia or whisky, bet sh Is a good ja ige cf tie quality from long experience in tanicg them. I therefore offer her with all her pfrfectiors and imperfections for tbe small sum of 50b." This man must have been a humorist, and if he had turned his attention to tbe profession of auctioneer would have run the famous George Robins pretty hard. The sequel of tbe story is that after waiting about an hour Thomson knocked down the lot" to one Henry Mears for and a Newfoundland Gog, and the parties separated, being mutually pleased with their bargain. Up In n Illloon. ILoncmaa's Magazine All who have made anything like huh ascents have exhaueted tropes and figures in attempting to describe their emotions in the presence cf what tbey beheld. To my thinking it is too much like trying to describe music when all is said, tbe emotion is not reproduced, or but very famtlv. Still we have at least to deal with visual objects and scenic efiectf. Tbe horror and mystery of suddenly coming to a black cloud 8,000 feet thick to thick that the balloon ceased tobe visible from the car this can be realized. It was Glaisher's experience in Coxwell's big balloon. A snow storm at high altitudes 13 very impressive erd lonesome. About 10 000 feet above imberwell, in tho middle cf a hot June, L, Lithgoe told me he was refreshed with one, and came down with hi3 balloon in midsummer still covered with snow. I have noticed the strangely eolid fixed, and often motionless appear

ance of the white billowy clouds, treacherous pillows inviting one to 8!ep out and racline upon them without a hint of instability. Presently, smitten with a crimson cioud, their edge? break into flame, and ' as one looks, a silent ritt is made, and through them is seen a distant wilderness of the firmamentnl blue. Let us ascend soon after snnset in imagination. Nothing can exceed the weird solemnity of night in a ballocn. To float aove London and see the whole ci'y like c ue vast fame-map at one's fest, twelve mi es sqare of irradiated street, with IL wir-' -river picked out by the electric lizM j3 cne risss, the whole shrunk to atw.. iiit size cf a cheer-board. This vision in a .oment reduces the mightiest city in the world to the proportion of a toy. The earth itself, as we ascend higher and higher, loses importance in the "clear obscure" above us, to which we seem hurrying space. Only the heavens are now worthy of contemplation, but the stars are changed; tbey hang more golden and globular, aj ia the tropics, or in the poet's vision.: The clear galaxy Shorn oi its hoary lnstre, wonderful Distinct KLd vivid vrith sharp points of light. Asa cloud rolls away from the 'opal widths" of the moon, tho stars grow faint She is light, but hangs in the blue blackness, and seems to give co light, so greatly attenuated is the light bearing ether in which we now swim. Perhaps the physical emotions c nfre or intensify the power of the eve. Ihia fgirg in my ears ia oppresive; this oi:;t ctzing of blood in my mouth Is, to Fay the least, trying. Iama'sovery cold; the ihermometsr msny degrees below zero; but the cold iadry ai d bearable, and there is little wind; but a black Teil hangs beneath, just edged here and there with silver and shot with moon-fake". My head begins t9 swim. Pull the valve. Let us descend. Down through the night into the moonfiaked oloud; 'tis 500 feet thisk and seems to have formed in ft moment. It hangs above ns now. Still down, down, thousands of feet. The lights of earth gleam feebly bsceath me like tiny sparks. The great city has vanished. I nave had no sense of traveling, but 1 have Moated ciesr over Loa don. The rapidity of our descent has been terrific. In another moment I smell tbe hay. Tis midnight; tbe still summer ields are beneath us. The moonlight ia now diffuse and soft; and the air is warm and scented; the car drops silently like a feather we alight on the new-mown hay. The Joys of Camel-Hiding. IDongcla Litter In The London Telegraph.! A few days ago I had my first ride on a camel, and I thought it would be my last. It was to go to our camp that I got cross-legged upon an Arab saddle, insecurely fastened by strings upon the back of a great, lumbering, humpbacked brute. I no sooner attempted to take my place on the saddle t' sn the came!, which was lying prone, into which position . he had been forced, began grunting liks an old village pump violently worked. At the same time he turned his prehensile lips aside, grinning like a bull dog, and showed a grinning row of teeth, which he sought to close upon me. I got aboard without accident, and had not long to w ait for a rise. The first movement, as he lifted his forelegs, nearly sent me over bachward; tbe next, as he straightened his hind legs, still more nearly tipped me over his head. I had been warned to hold tight, but it was only the clutch of desperation that saved me. After several lunges and pluDges, the brute got fairly on his legs. The reias consisted of a rope round his neck for steering, and a string fastened to a ring thru3t in his nostrils, to null np his head, and srop him when going too fast. My camel began to move forward, and thereupon I oscillated and see sawed as if seized with sea-sickness or cramp in the stomach. Involuntary as the moment was, an hour of it would, I am sure, have made as abject a Victim of me as the worst sufferer on the channel passage. A heartless friend was in front of me on another cameJ, whienhe set trotting. Instantly I became as helpless as a child, for my camel disregarded the train on his no -trils, and my fervent ejaculat'ons. My profane Arabic vocabulary was too Bruited t have the slightest efiect. 1 swayed t and fro, was bumped iip and down, until I vm almost shaken to pieces. It would have ben a positive relief could I have found myself r t rest on the ground, but the motion was so incessant I had not time to make np my mind what course to adopt. It ended as even the experience of the worst kind must do, and I found mjsalf still on the camel's back. Not so my humorous friend, who, to my great comfort, performed a double somersault and did not succeed in landing quite on his feet. I was told that I would become accustomed to camel-riding, and might even get to like it. But my faith is cot great enough for that. He Experimented. He was a bashful wooer, but there was a certain manliness about him which indicated that he only needed a ltttle encouragement to let himself out. She saw this, and she resolved on a policy of encouragement. "J3o you believe these stories in the funny papers," she asked, "about the wiiliogness of young ladiea to be kiesed?" "I I really can't say," he replied. "They rray be true." Then gathering courage, he added: "I hope they are true," and he drew closer to her. "It seems to me," she said, "that there is only one way in which a young man can discover whether they are true or not." "And what way is that? ' he aked. There was a brief pause. Then, with a far away look in her eyes, she answered: "By experimenting when he has an opportunity." He experimented. Rev. J. H. Vincent, of Chatauqua fame. Is out in a tersely-expressed opinion that Methodism should be more vigorously Protestant against the dance, the theater and the cardtable.
