THE POWER 0 CONSCIENCE. A touching incident illustrating the power of conscience, even in tbe most hardened criminal, recently eccurred in Washington. At dusk a well-dressed stranger rapped at the door of one of he houses, and on being admitted said to the proprietor: "You do not, sir, recognize my face. Tis well. Listen. Your poeket was picked about twelve months since?"

It was, and I lost $12 62." I was tbe thief. Nay, sir, spare your reproaches. For seventeen days I had not tasted food, and my wife and eleven smtil children lay at home on their miserable pallets, crying with hunger and oold. Ttie money I stole from you then, sir, saved them, for with part of it I bought coal, with part of it broad, and the remaining portion of it I played upon the eight, ooppering the king, and called the turn till It ran up to 960 but

nately, my friend and benefactor, I rocognizod you on the street car yesterday I fallowed you heme and learned your name, and to-night I have come to restore to you the money of which I robbed you.

So saying the penitent gave the kind gentleman a |20 bill, received S7.35 change, blessed his benefactor warmly, and left ho house. Next morning the Old man found that the bill was a counterfelt, and tho thief had on leaving tbe house taken tho old man's hat and umbrella. 1 ... -9 «?%*-,

WHAT HAPPENED AT A JXUSKJNO BEE. [Council nittflT* N"«np,wll.]

Thero was a husking boe down near Mount Pleasant the othor night. One ef the young ladies present ram mod her hands into tho husks and hauled ortt a snake as long as a whip lash, and toe cold to take much intere«t in the festivities. Hie fell over on her back, and screamed and shrioked until she was black in tho face, but everybody thought she had only found a red ear, and they laughed at her, while the snake got inside of her rufile aud crawlod painfullv and rheumatically down her

tank. She was understood" at last, and IJ27

WHO WAS CAIN'S WIFEt The Rev. C. P. McCarthy, who preaches every Sunday in tho University I building, Washington square, as pastor of what is called the American Free Church, endeavored to answer the question, "Who wap Cain's wife?" last evening. Ho took his text from tho fourth chapter of Qenesis and the seventeenth verse. Tbe preaoher said that be bad solected the peculiar subject an nounoed at the request of several members of his congregation. Maintaining that old theories as to the meaning of the Bible stories had eeased to be tenable bocauso of the increased light of science, he said that the theory held by many as to Cain's wlfo would also have to be abandoned. "The orthodox answer to the question," said he, "is 'per-1 baps Cain married bis sister.' Well, I don't think he did. Now, I am not going to shirk the answering this question. I have a theory of our raco which others do not believe in. Nine out off ten believe that the human race came from one pair. I don't believe it. I)o| vou say that is horetical Perhaps It is, but thin is not a question to be answered

war which made each man the slayer of the other and last one spoke: "There are some folks in the world that'll feel worse when you are gone out of it."

A spasm of pain was on tbe bron2ed, ghastly features. "Yes," said the man, in hu9ky tones, "there's one woman with a boy and a girl, away np among the New Hampshire mountains, that it will well nigh kill to hear of this," and the man gr»aned out in bitter anguish, "O God, have pity on my wife and children

And tho other drew closer to him, "and away down among the cotton fields of Georgia, there's a woman and a little girl whose hearts will break when they hear what this day has done," and then the crv wrung itself sharply out of his heart, "O God, have pity upon them!"

And from that moment the northerner and the southerner ceased to be foes The thought of those distant homes on which the "anguish was to fall, drew them cleser together in that last hour, and the two men wept like little children.

And at last the northerner spoke, talking more to himself than to any one else, and did not know that the other was listening greedily to every word:—

SO,

the first place, Cain could not have married his sister when ho departed to tho land of Nod, because he had no sister. When Seth was born Adam was only 130 years old, a very young man for those days, and Seth was his third ohild. There is no mention ol daughters. In the second plaoe, Cain departed to a country whore there wero people, and ho feared these people wou.d slay him because of his crime, and tbe i»rd recognised tho reality of this danger and seta mark on him that he might be saved. Tho Biblo nowhere states that there were only two people originally created. Adam was the generic name for tbe hnman race, apa 'male and female created he them.'

KISSING.

There is a great deal in a kiss. Adam's first kiss of Eve mu«t have been a queer sensation—like tho felling of a man who first ate an oyster. In ancient Rome, kiss was a religimw ceremony. The nearest friend of a dying person "received his soul" by a kiss, for the soul was supposed to leave the body through the lips. Plinv thinks tbe Roman women began to degenerate when they kissed everybody miscellaneously. Among the early Christians, a kis-s was the "seal of

rarer." It was a treacherous sign in tho betrayer In onr times kiss means a good deal—from tbe kiss between two young ladies, to the kisses recorded in the following stories. Here is number one:

A tender swain reproached his (air one with letting a rival kiss her hand— a feet which she indignantly denied. 'But I saw it.' 'Nay, then,' cried the offended one, 'I am now convinced that you do not love me, since you believe your eyes in preference to my word."

Number two is also sharp and pithy: A gentleman kissed a lady's hand in a fit of gallantry. She deliberately drew her glove off and dropped it on the floor.

Why do you do that?' he asked. 'Oh,' she replied, 'I never wear soiled gloves.' 'And I,' said he, picking it up and putting it in the fire, 'do not like to see dirtv things lyinu about."

That anecdote might be oalled a fair instance of tit-for-tat, or a Roland for aa Oliver.

SHOOTJNO OUT A FIRE. The Allentown (Penn.) Chronicle says: "On Saturday afternoon the funeral of Mrs. Henry Scbantz, nearly eighty years of age, residing near the Poor House, took place. As is customary at country funerals, a great deal of baking and cooking was done for tbe entertainment of the relatives and friends. Just before the funeral procession was about to leave tho house, on the way to Jordan Lutheran Church, one of the chimneys was discovered to be on fire, the flames leaping up ten or twelve feet. As tbe bouse was a shingle root there was danger of the fire soon becoming a serious matter, and of course there was a commotion and a running hither and thither with buckets of water. The lire could not begot at very easily, and something had to oe done soon to avert serious consequences. Just about this time a philosophical gentleman present aeked for a loaded g«n, which, upon being handed to him, he discharged up tlio chimney, instantly extinguishing the fire, the concussion of the air produced by the shot having dono the work. Agreat many present could not under-

Our passions are the oril/ orators who are certain to persuade us. To lie about a man never hurts him* The truth sometimes does.

Who knows not love in sorrows night* he ktows not leve in light. If men were to ke their ownjodsni they would never be just judges.

A jealous man ia always banting after something he dtm't want to find. Many complain of their menaory.T-ut none ooraplaln of their judgment.

Tbe most critical people to suit are*« those who board at the alms houses. Youns man don't cry after spilled milk. Take up your paifand go for the next cow. •,

If we had no fliults ourselves, we should not have so much ploosare in 1 discovering the faults of others.

As riches and favor forsake a man, we discover him to be a fool butnobedy could find it out in his prosperity.

The evil wbich we do does not draw upon us so many persecutions and so much hatred as our good qualitie«.

Our repentance is not so much a regret for the evil we have done a« a fear of what may be the consequenoes.

Advice is generally like the bread and cheese we give to beggars, thrown over into the first vacant Tot they come to.

Old men delight in uttering good precepts—to console themselves for being no longer in condition to set bad examples.

Some religion is a good deal like a life preserver—only puUon at, a time when in immediate danger, and then often bind side before.
