"Yes, I think he do." "1 le knows that we'd Vie apt to sit there until we got a chill, aud then pneumonia and death might follow. "That's it." "Whereas, if he tells us to move on we keej our blood circulating, avoid all iamrer and are spared to our friends and Ihe world." "That's correct."

Wherein the night veiled city seemed an under sky. -With constellations strange to practiced eye. And milky way made by the pale, faint gleam. Where wound he Tennessee's broad, silvery stream: Dreamlike and mystic in ita far off flow.

A teacher in a mission Sunday school says that her boys, though their knowl edge of the Bible is unhappily slight, ask her questions which oblio-e her nnt nnlr tn keep her information well In hand, but biso w oe exceedingly careful to say ex actly what she means when telling them anything. They had a great deal of trouble, princi pally caused by a lack of attention, la re membering how many ai i what the com mandments are. "You can never forget how many com mandments there are, I am sure," said the teacher the second Sunday, when six, seven and eight had all been proposed a an swers to her question, -for yon can count your fingers, and then you will remember how many commandments there are for you to keep, for there are as many com mandment as you have fingers on your two hands." "Jest as many, an no more, ma'am?" in quired one boy with a revival if interest. "J ust as many, and no more," replied the teacher with a srnile. "I guess 111 brine aloni; Jim So per. lives next door to me, next Sunday," said this boy, at the end of the lesson, and he re ceived a cordial reply to this remark. The next Sunday he appeared accom panied by his friend, whom he kent close at his side during the lesson. When it came his turn to auswer questions he said cheerfully: xes m; ten commandment for mo ma'am; 1 remember about 'e m nil lint. here's Jim. my friend; he ain't got but four fingers on his left hand, on account, of an accident, au me an Jim's been talkin it over ever since last Sunday which one of them commandments wouldn't belonato mm." louth's Companion.
