The Old Doctor's Story. "I Lave a little story to tell you. boys. old doctor said to the young people the ether evening. "One day a long, not day it had been, too I met my father on the reed into town. ' 'I wish you could take this package to the Tillage for me, Jim,' he said, hesitating. Now I was a boy of twelve, not fond of X7crk, and was just out of the hay-field, T7here I had been at work since daybreak. 1 wras tired, dusty and hungry. It was two miles into town. I wanted to get my supper, and to wash and dress for sinking sohoal. SJy first impluse was to refuse, and t3 do it harshly, for I was vexed that he should ask me after my long day's work. If I did refuse he would go himself. He was a ;nÜ9, patient old man. But something stopped ras; one of God's goou angels. I think. Oc cours father, I'll take it,' I sali, heartily, giving my scythe to one of the men. lie gave me the package. 'Thank you, Jim, he said. 'I was going oyeelf, but eomehow I don't feel very strong to-day. "He walked with me to the road that turned off to the town, and, as he left, put hia hand on my arm, faying again, Inank you, my son. You've always been a good bey to me. Jim.' "I hurried into town and back again. "V7ben I came near the house I saw a crowd cf ttd farm-hands at the door. Oie of them came to me, the tars rolling down his face. " 'Your father!' he sa.'d. 'He fell dead jc:t u he reached the home. The last words ne spoke were to you.1 ' I'm tn old man now, bat I have tbaaked Oed ever and over aiin in all tha years that Jaave passed since that, haar, that those laut rcrdawere, Yoa tare been a good by to rae.'"

A T71nter Flower. Youth's Companion, I have a little patient at the Charity Hospital who interests me venr much," Dr. lidaile edd to me one day. "She's from ths country, and was run over by a street-car terns time tgo. Fell as she was crossing the ctrtet." "Are fcer injuries very severe?" I asked. "I ear so.

Ir. Isdaile ratted her na 3. "Good for you, my dcu! I'm glad to see the measles hasn't struck in, as I was afraid, acid turned yon into a monster. I bid every reason to fear it, 3 on tee. Bat lie illy dou't think Bam cares for dolls or playthings, file's fo old in her ways for then. I carried her a doll, bat ehe didn't seem to know how to p'ay with it, and turned it over to her little tlfitcr. She said, as eravely as a judge, I never had a doll when I was small, and tlon, you know, I have the chilaren. Sielow, I dou't caiu for makebclisve thirgs.' " "Bnt don't she care for anything?'' asked astonished Gertie. "Justt-tke her a flower If you want to see delight. The child always lived in tbo country nntil a year ago, and she's homesick for the sou aad the flowers and the gr&f s in her old home. I carried a flower every now and then before the last severe freeze, and it was pathetic to see Low ehe fondled it and kissed it, aud laid it on her pillow wnere she conld fuch it." ' I s'pese, auntie, we haven't a single, soli tary flower in the garden?" Gertie asked me after the doctor was gone. "vot one, and there are none in tha market büt a few iapoaicas, that are beyond our mears," I answered. Gertie tought intently with knitted brows for a few minutes. "I'm well enough to go out," she said, decisively, "and to-morrow, aunUe, you and I will go to the hospital to see that iil." "Indeed, you won't. The doctor says you are not to go out for a week, and if this inclement weather lasts, I can't say how long you will be a prisoner." I erected that she wouM burst into tears at this announcement. An invalid mothsr and doting father who did not know ho v to say no to his darling, had spoilei Gertie terribly. Bat she was a warm-hearted, ganer ous littie creature, with a reserve of gooi fonnd eenee lying under her petulance. Sjo did cot cry, bat the persisted. "Vzh not sick aniite, and it will Jim gcod to go out. I must see that little girl in the hcspital." "So you sha'l, when it is prndenr. Bit jnst wait patiently, and yen ball carry to her what she loves best, some bsaatital tloffis." "Flowen!" ebe exc'a'med. "Why, auntie you taid there were none!" "'ot to-day, but tbere will ba some in a very short time. Djn't you remember tüoje hyacinth bnds I bought and p'.anied somi weeks aeo? I put them in a dark place, aud today 1 find the two in the hyacinth gl&3969 aro growing beautifully, and thoss ia the pots are full of buds. Think what a display ot color they will make white, blae, pink, yellow and red. You shall have the two glasses acd several of the pot3 to carry to your sick girl as soon as they are in bloom. That's worth waiting for, isn't it?" Gertie clapped her hands and kissed me enthusiastically. "Yon dear, sweet auntie!" she cried. "You must bring the hyacinths in here, so that I can watch them. And you must go and see the little girl, and tell her I'm coming. Hut you mustn't say a word about the hyacinths, of course." The next day found me by the bedside of the little patient in whom we were interested. Such a sweet, patient face she had, and a natural courtesy of manner which is not often fonnd in the children of the very poir. Her little sister was standing by the bedside, end Bama, as well as her recum bent position al!oei. was cocnbiDg and cuiliDg the child's Uaxen hair, aad tiiyiag her t-babby dress. "Yoa lee, ma'am, rallies t do all be can frr the children, but men don't know hojr. He put cn K lien's apro i hind part b9fore. acd she rover knowed it, Ellen'a as good as g:od csn re," with a .ving smi e at the lit tie ore. "but she sint got any head for hxin' things right. Now run home, you and Will, and try and sweep the door and have things neat for poor pa. You're all he's got cow to do for him." She lay back on nor pillow, and watch el the children until the door closed ca them. Then she sighed deeply. "You must be very tired lying here?" I asked. A w'st'nl lock crept into the child's eyes. "I try not to be," she said simply. "It wouldn't help me to foal bad about it. Ev ery body's gool to me here, and if it wasn't for pa and the children" Another heavy sigh completed tne sentence. I had a few violets, and put them in her band. Then came the sudden change the doctor had spoken of. Her langoil eves brightened, a latnt color rose to her whi'e cheeks, a smi.'e paitei her lips, and khe rai-ed the .lowers to them, and drew long breaths as 11 to Inha'o their fragrance. "Oh, aint iliey sweet?" fhe ctied at IssV "We was always poor fdks, but where we med to live, we had a big garden, and ma used to make poiies, aud Isold 'em. Bat when ma died, pa he couldn't stay there no lcrger. Shs uiei to eay that where ths was coin' the flowers was a fcoa p finer and sweeter thsn in our garden. Taa'n Heiven, ya know. I always did love covers, but now they'ie like ma and Heavci tt me. Oa, I do love 'em so! I do love 'em so!" "I have a little niece about your own a; who is comlcg to se you," I sid to her. "Dr. Iedaile has made her to anxious to see yen!" "Dr. Isdaile," she repeated "Oh, he'a so kind aad good tome, ma'am, and tithe children. I doa't bslieve there ever was so good a gentleman in the whole world!" I rose to take my leave. "Won't you come again, ma'am?" shs asked politely. "Very soon, I hope, and with my little niece." When I got home Gertie questioned and cross-questioned me nntil she fairly drove me distracted. I wai relieved when she turned her attention to the hyacinths, which she declared had grown fully an inch since I lett the house. But I must acknowledge that never hava I seen hyacinths grow as fast as those. They all bloomed, too, at the same time, fine double blooms of every variety of color. Dr. Isdaile had promiicd to have ft temporary shelf put up near his patient's bed, so that she could watch her flowers all the time without raising her head. "I'm bothered about her," the good doctor said. "Sae doesn't mend ai she should. Her injuries are certainly better, but she gels wesker and more listless every day. Do you knew, I think it's a case of nostalgia home sicknesr. She's pining for the wretched little hole she calls home, and the dirty little young ones who must wear her life out. I tell her she' foolish to want to leave a place where everything is nics and comfortable aroind her, but she just cries, and gsts weak er than ever. Perhaps your flowers may rouse her up.'

The rext day Gertie anrt 1, having eni:sei tb services of a man acd a whealbarcow, proceeded to the hospital with h9r plants. Afy first glance at Bnaa shocked me.ie was so mcch whiter and thinner than at my last visit. "I've brought my little niece to ses yoa." I raid. fcbe held out her hard with a faint sm'Ie. "Are ycu rot better?" I asked. "The pain ien't bad." she svd, "but the doctor siys I'm frettirjg 'beut hrme, and that Hciders me frnj gettin' well. I do want 0 go home bad. I! I've got to die, I wao; to die there, and if I'm t get belter, I'll gt tettr sooner wher I cn fee ray children all the time. Oa my! what is that?" as the man bearing the tl 3 ers arrange! them on the shelf beside tne bd. A goodly hnr they rrade there, their fragrant breath filling tte air. "The?e are eome hyacinths my little nice has biocpiit fcr you," I said. "You see they are powu.g, aud won't fade for 1 loDg time. It will help you pass the time to watch tfcfra." Not a word from the child. Her great eyes, fixed on the flowers, seemed to dijaie. "What s the matter with her? ' whispered Gertie, lookicg frightened. "Don't she like them?' She's trying to realize that they ere really hers." I whispered back. ' She can't take it all in at once, she's so weak and ill " "She gave them to me?'' Bama aked.

tremulously, pointing to Ctertie. 1 nodJel, and by a sudden movement, sas t33k Gertie's hard and pressed it to her lip?. ".Now A can wait," she satJ, Ecuinn through her tears. I understood her. T03 waiting would be endurable, with U1334 beantifnl thirgs to eheer her. "oa ve done my patient a world or goon, " Dr. Isdaile eaid next day. "She's cheerful acd hopeful, and those are the tonic she netds. She never takes her eyes off the Mov ers, and won t even Jet them be moved a: i night. If the improvement continues, I tell . her ehe will be able to go hoxe in ten days. These tea days were full of work for Gertie and me. We found ont Bioaa's hou'e, and set to work to make one room in the house comfortable. We were not rich, but we had old curtains, acd bedspreads, and strips of carpet, and teveral spare pieces of furniture, and various little thing3 that we dislodged from the garret. The fatter, whoeemed a mild, helpless kind of man, gazed fcpen-moathed 'at the wonderful changes our old balongings effected in his wretched home. As fjr the children, we insisted that some excuse ehoulibe made to prevent them from visiting their s:ster. We wanted to surprise her, and the children would never hold their torgaes. So the great day arrived, and m a crowning ornament Gertie had brought her pretty C8&e with her two pet canaries and hung in the window between the curts-Ins. "Do you intei I giving your birds to Earn a?'' I asked, astonished. "Ys," she answered; "at least she shall keep them until she can get out."

As for Gertie, ehe sobbed aloud, and as we walked hon-e sbo kept repeating, "It was s j little to rs. annlie and so much to them. Ivtant to leep on doing thiag for toor folks."

One of the membsra reported to its president that one of the boys bad been seen beating a dog. "ies," said tte culprit, "but that was before this thing was made up."

Yoar brain may ferment and effervesce like a yeast pot, but unless you can settle down to steady toil you are worth no more to the community than a tcap bubble, which bursts so to scon that it is hardly worth one's while to top to look at it. A good blacksmith is worth a loand dozen of geniuses who wear long hair and Byronic collars and wonder why the world doesn't adOre them. The other day a neat-'ooking lad applied to a gentleman in this city for employment. He had a good place in his office that he wanted filled. "I thine I have seon you before, my lad.'' The boy brightened up at the recognition. "I rode down in the car with you this morciog, aud you had a comfortable seat and kept it, while a dozen young women, who have to ba on their feet all day, were standing. You won't do for me." And he lost the place. Philadelphia Bulletin. When Matthew Arnold was in Chicago Carrie Price, aged eleven, living oa U19 soath side, was among the multitude who called upon him.

The prettiest of literary anecdotes has been related by Wilhelm Grimm, one of the pair of famous story-tcliers. One day a littie girl rang their bell and met him ia the hall with the words, "Are you the Mr. Grimm who writes the pietty ta'ci?" "Yei, I and my blotter." "And that o! the clever little tailor who maniei the princess?" "Yes", certainly."

Paul was ia the midst of his story when the Roman Governor suddenly acd rudely interrupted him.

The trouble with most godless men is that they are not given as thev should be, to (ober thought cf thin gs that relate to the tonrs needs and welfare. 5 Dlflerent pleas of rejecters of Christ aDd hi3 f. ospel (21-2vS) Ths snbstance of the plea implied in the ords of Feetus was that the religion of Christ is irrational; to accept it Mould be madnejs; Christiana arc enthueiasts, fanatics. Bat Agrlpps's response to Paul's question Indicated a different temper. Theie has been great debate over the riirat rendering of his wodj. If we take that of the Revised Version, then his answer was perhaps a sarcastic eva sion. He coald tot, Fay he was uacon vicced. He dared rmt denv that the prophets pointed to a suffering Christ. His heart was moved. But he would conceal his emotion while he put oil acceptance o! the go pel. Acd to be responded: "Yoa would make me a Chr!sdr.n by a short prcce;s indeed! ' That was to cay. It would be rash in me to surrender 10 scoa. The one seems to sy, Religion is enthusiasm and folly; the other. I must have time, to decide at ones is un reasonable. And so it is that men now ex cusethemfelve3fr0mih.it chance to whica the ro?pel invites them. Haughty prida and igcoiance rtoved resins to a contemptuous eceer. His slavery to lust and tosinfal associations rrompred Agrlppa's scornful eva sion. Bot whichever or whatever it is, the sicner's plea is in ev?ry case the rejection ef the greatest geed within human reach. ;.' What it i wh!ra makes one the trulv happy man (29 32) There isoxelh'ng moat grandly roble in Paul's respoues to Agrippa. it proved what was deepest aud uppermost in his heart. Nothing could divert him from his desire to win a soul to Cinst. Neither sceers cor sarcasms could chill his ardor. But tkere is some thin t? mora in hi3 response than this, l'anl did rot think ot governors or kings as the happy men. His heart lenged to tee them Christians, for thcugh persecuted and even in bonds it was better, as he well knew, to be Christ's. "Pardoned, at peace with God and man, with a hope stretching beyond the crave, and an actual present par ticipation in the powers of the eternal world this was what he was desiring for them; if that could be effected for them he would be ccntent to remain in his bonds, and to leave them upon their thrones. Against such a man reither Festns nor Agrippa could find aught worthy of death or of bonds. Thus in their Eight he was vindicated. 1'KACTICAL SUGGESTIONS 1. Bavenly visions do not save men. nor do they prove that we ara sxnoag the saved. 2. Net even miraculous signs acd inter positions can save thess who will not themselves trast and obey. 3. The great have no ad van t a z of the small in respect to the favor ol God. All
