HOW THE 8UNÙ0HT CÀMB.
The following touching little sketch
is from the Detroit Free Press:
The sunlight sometimes came into
the room, for the sunlight was made
for the poor as well as the rich, and it
will pour in through crazy shutters
and over the bare floors just as cheeri
ly as it filters through lace curtains
and breaks into golden fragments over
velvet carpets. And God's free air
came to the desolate room as well,
though when it crossed the decaying
roofs and lingered for a moment on
the weather-beaten sills it was no lon
ger pure.
Do you know what poverty is? A
gaunt, starved woman with great
black eyes, which had a look of hun
ger and terror, as if the shadow of fate
had clutched her throat. A bare room
—not bare, because it contained an
old stove, a wretched bed, a broken
chair, a bench, and—but v nothing
more. The gaunt, starved face woman
had bread to eat—bread and nothing
else. A bare room—bread and water.
That is poverty. That is what brings
to the heart that feeling of loneliness
and grim despair which is poisoned
out of life or quenched, like a flicker
ing light, in the green waters of the
river which creeps softly past the city
and carries every every burden of sor
row and woe to the bosom of the lake.
Why did this woman live? Had life
one charm for her? Perhaps she asked
herself these questions as she sat with
her face in her hands and looked out
upon the cold, die ;rk«s day. There
were no tears iu hfcr great black eyes
—only such a look of woe and despair
that tlie world should have been there
to see it and to have it painted on their
hearts.
"Mother?"
A little, wasted form on the wretched
bed—a bony hand on the ragged quilt
—a voice which told of hunger and
pain and weary waiting.
She bent over him, and for a moment
a mother's love shone in her eyes, and
lier wrinkled hand rest<$d on his pale
face with such tenderness as only a
mother has.
"Lift me up and let me see the sun
shine," he whispered, trying to put bis
atms around *h<*r neck.
"There is no sunshine," die whis
pered in reply, a sob in her throat.
"Kiss me, mother, and call me

And SUCll thoughts I
°
When the darkness covered tlie bare
fl (M)| . ag W ltll A Iliailtle, iilld when sllC
_ j '
conld no longer see her own poverty,
t!ie Imy suddenly cried out:
"Mother! mother! The sunlight has
come!"
"Not yet, dear Ned—not yet! It is
uight now."
"But I see the suo—it lights »II the
room-^-jt blazes into my face!" he
called.
"There is no sun, it is c«*ld and
dark!" she soblied.
•'And it grows brighter! and i hear
such sweet music! and I see little
Tommy!" he whispered, while through
the darkness she saw his white face
grow radiant.
"You are dreaming!" she sobbed.
"It was such a bright sun! The
music is so sweet!" he whispered,
clasping her hand.
"It is dark—it is night!" she gasped,
but he did not hear.
The sunlight had truly come, but it
was the sunlight—the golden rays re
flecting from the gates of heaven—and
not the sunlight of earth. The myste
rious curtain hiding the valley of
death had lifted for his spirit to pass
under, and woe had been left behind.
And of her? Ask the shadows of
night—ask the river. When they
found liis little dead body she was not
there. They cannot find her. If she
is dead God did not. judge her harshly.
A Doubting Thomas. —"When I was
a young man," said the Judge, mopping
the beer off his trousers with a handker
chief be had borrowed from Billy
Wood, "I knew a blacksmith in our
village who was one of the hardest
tickets in the place. A revival preach
er came along, and Tom was converted.
It made a great change in him, and he
was held up by church people as a sig
nal example of the saving power of
grace. After Tom had been traveling
on the road to heaven for about three
weeks, his turn came to be examined
on his fitness for church membership.
After the praying and other prelimi
naries, the parson got to work on Tom.
He told him the story of Jonah and the
whale, and asked him if lie believed
that.
"Believe that a man was in a whale's
belly an' come out alive!" cried Tom.
"Do the Bible say that, parson?"
"Certainly, certainly, brother."
"Oh, yes, yes; of course I bel eve it,'
says Tom.
Do you believe that the three He
brew children, Shadraclt, Meshach and
Abednego were cast into the furnace
heated seven times hotter than usual,
and that they walked in the flame
praising the Lord, and not even their
garments were, singed?
"Tom's eyes bulged out of his head
as lie looked at„the parson and gasped:
"I)o the Bible say that, parson?"
"Yes, of course, my Brother."
"That them fellers you spoke of
walked around in the fire seven times
hotter 1 !) I cun heat my forge?"
"Yes my brother; do you believe it?"
Torn rose up and got out into the
aisle. Then he sputtered:
"No, 1 don't; and I don't believe that
damn fish storv neither, now."
In deciding questions of truth and
duty, remember that the wrong side

Blague take such a country as this.
In Dodge country, G a., a man was

Americans have n » rights that-the law
is bound to respect.
There is Ho I letter way, no safer

"Cheerfulness is the daughter of
employment," said*Bishop Horne, "and
I have known a man to come home in
high spirits from a funeral, merely lie
cause he had the management of it."
A Kentucky justice has decided that
it is not legal for a farmer to hitch his
wife up with a mule, no matter how
anxious he is to plow.

A meteoric stone weighing nin ty

The prohibitory law being in full
force in Maine, a witness before a Bel

"Often?" "Yes." "How much in six
months?" "Well, I can't tell, exactly.
It might be—well—-perhaps—well,

The Bloody Chasm.— At the obse
quies of Vice President Wilson at flu*
City Hall, at Baltimore, Major Harry
Gilmor, a well known and conspicu
ous Confederate cavalry officer during
the late war, was introduced to Fred
Douglass.
The Major said. "Mr. Douglas«*,
let us shake hands across the liloody
chasm."
Mr. Douglass replied, "No, Major
Gilmor, there is no bloody chasm;
let us shake hands across a free coun
try."
Insanity From Religion. —Dr. Bo
hannon, resident physician at Black
well's Island, New York, says that of
t ie many patients who are crazed by
religious excitement the majority ap
pear in the Asylum after tlte Lenton
season when continued fasting has
weakened both body and mind, but
very many always follow great relig
ious revivals. The disease is gener
ally accompanied by* melancholia.
Five patients of this class have been
received since the 13th of last month.
/
They are Sarah Doran, aged 35, who
is often very violent; Maggie Walsh*
aged 19, who thinks God's Being is
in her; Jane Doran, who believes her
self the wife of the Blessed Virgin;
Ellen Mahone, aged 24, who says she
is persecuted for loving Jesus; and a
German woman, Gertrude Gansct,.
who is undemonstrative and quiet.
