Thou th! little chamber liant. Hut the bouxe in hind and vaxt. He bath freedom now to go la and out, and to and fro. O the crjHtal-fountained hnlla! O the rosy-windowed walls!

Bide thou a while In thy luce; nor weep, but smile. Some day Bweet day ! thou shalt rise, Smooth the fold, and meet his. eyes. James Uuckhnm, in Independent. BEACON LEE'S EXPERIENCE. Deacon Lee, who was a kindly, si lent, faithful, gracious man, was one day waited upon by a restless, ambi tious, worldly church member, who was laboring to create uneasiness in the church and especially to drive away the minister. The deacon came in to meet his vis itor, who, after the usual greetings, began to lament the low state of reli gion, and inquired as to the reason why there had been no revival for the last two or three years. "Now, what do you think is the cause of things being dull here?" The deacon was not ready to give his opinion and after a little thought irankly answered, "I don't know." "Do you think the churches are alive to the work before them ?" "No, I don't." A twinkle was seen in the eye of the troubler in Zion, and, taking courage, lie asked, "Do you think Mr. B a very extraordinary man ?" "No, I don't." "Do you think his sermons, in their eyes, are held anything wonderfully great ?" "No, I don't." "Then don't you think we had bet ter dismiss this man and hire an other ?" The old deacon started, as if shot with an arrow, and, in a tone louder than his wont, shouted : "No, I don't 1" "You talk so little, sir," replied the questioner, not a little abashed , " tha t no one can find out what you do mean." "I talked enough once," replied the old man, rising to his feet, "for six praying Christians, llnrty years ago I got my heart humbled and my tongue bridled, and ever since that I've walked softly before God. I then made vows, solemn as eternity, and don't tempt me to break them." The troubler was startled at the earnestness of the hitherto silent, im movable man, and asked : "What happened to you thirty jears ago ?" "Well, sir, I'll tell you. I was drawn into a scheme just like this of yours, to uproot one of God's ser vants from the field in which lie had planted him. In my blindness, I fan cied it a little thing to remove one of the 'stars' which Jesus holds in His right hand, if thereby my ear could be tickled by more flowing words, and the pews filled with those who turned away from the simplicity of the Gospel. I and the men that led me for I admit that I was a dupe and a fool flattered ourselves that we were doing God a service when we drove that holy man from the pulpit and his work, and said we considered his work done in B , where I then lived. We groaned because there was no revival while we were gossiping about and criticising and crushing bim, instead of upholding his hands by our efforts and our prayers, the very instrument at whose hand we harshly demanded the blessings. "We'll, sir, he could not drag on the chariot of salvation with half a doz en of us taunting him for his weak ness, while we hung as a dead weight to the wheels; he had not the spirit, as we thought, and could not convert men; so we hunted him like a deer, till, worn and bleeding, he fled into a covert to die. "Scarcely had he gone, when God come in among us by His Spirit, to show that He had blessed the labors of His dear rejected servant. Our own hearts were broken, and our wayward children converted ; and I resolved, at a convenient season, to visit my former pastor and confess my sin, and thank him for his faith fulness to my wayward sons, which like long buried seed had now sprung up. But God denied me that relief, that lie might teach me a lesson that every child of his ought to learn that he whotouchethone of His little ones, toucheth the apple of Ilis eye. "I heard my pastor was ill, and taking my oldest Bon with me, set out on a twenty-fiye mile ride to see bim. It was evening when I arrived, and his wife, with the spirit which ny woman ought to exhibit toward ao who had so wronged her husband, dmietl me admittance to his cham ber. 8h said and her words were like arrows to my soul) 'He may be djiag., and the eight of your face wirhk add to his anguish.' Had it out to this, I said to myself, that ik tnaa whose labors had, through Chriat, brought me into his fold, who hud consoled my spirit in a terrible bereavement, and who had, until de signing men had alienated us, been to me a brother that this man could not die in peace with my face before kua. Uod pity me !' I cried ; 'what "have I done?' I confessed my sins to that meek woman, and implored her, for Christ s sake, to let me kneel be fore His dying servant and receive his foreriveness. "What did I care then whether the pews by the door were rented ornot? I would gladly have taken his whole family to my home forever, as my nVh and blood ; but no such happi ness was in store for me. "As I entered the room of the bles sed warrior, whose armor was falling from his limbs, he opened his eyes and said, 'Brother Lee! Brother Lee!' I bent over him and sobbed out, 'My pastor!' Then raising hiswhite hanJ he said, in a deep, impressive voice, 'Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.' "I spoke tenderly to him, and told him I had come to confess mysinnnd briDg some of his fruit to him (call ing my son to tell him how he had found Christ). But he was uncon scious of all around him ; the sight of my face had brought the last pang of earth to his troubled spirit. 1 kissed his brow and told him how dear he had been to me. I craved his pardon for my unfaithfulness, and promised him to care for his widow and fatherless little ones ; but his only reply, murmured as if in a troubled dream, was, ' Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.' "I stayed by him all night, and at daybreak closed his eyes. "I offered his widow a house to live in the remainder of her days ; but, like a heroine, she said : T freely for give you ; but my children, who en tered deeply into their father's an guish, shall never see me so regard less of his memory as to take any thing from those who caused it. lie has left us all with his covenant God, and He will care for us.' "Well, sir, those dying words sound ed in my ears from that coffin, and from that grave. When I slept.Christ stood before my dream, saying : 'Touch not mine anointed, do my prophets no harm.' These words fol lowed me till I fully realized the es teem in which Christ holds those men who have given up all for His sake, and I vowed to love them evermore for bis sake, even if they are not per fect. "And since that day, sir, I have talked less than before, and have sup ported my pastor, even if he is not a very extraordinary man. My tongue shall cleave to the roof of my mouth, and my right hand forget its cun ning, before I dare to put asunder what God has joined together. When a minister's work is done in a place, I believe God will show it to him. I will not join you, sir, in the scheme that brought you here ; and, more over, if 1 hear another word of this from your lips, I shall ask the breth ren to deal with you as with one who causes divisions. "I would give all I own to recall what I did thirty years ago." "Stop where you are and pray God if perchance the thought of your heart may be forgiven you." This decided reply put an end to the new-comer's efforts to get a min ister who could make more of a stir. There is often great power in the lit tle word "no," but sometimes it re quires not a little courage to speak it so resolutely as did the silent deacon. Christian Messenger. When Daisy Major, sixteen years old, was appointed postmistress of Wampum, Penn., fourteen months ago, it was looked upon as a chival rous act, as she was not a politician, and won the place because she has been one of the brightest and smart est pupils of Beaver College, of which she was a graduate. But Miss Daisy soon developed a politician's taste. She began to appear in line dreeses, then added gradually watches, dia monds and a high grade bicycle. These things excited the envy of rival belles, and a postoffice inspector came to make inquiry. He found that she was about $1,500 behind in her accounts, which sum itself would make a large postoffice business for a borough of 1,000 inhabitants. The department is likely to be crowded in a short time with applications for the Wampum postmastership, but the successful boy or girl will proba bly be required to show a certificate of birth dating back considerably more than sixteen years ago. Better eyen a little politics than too much fine dress, watches, diamonds and bi cycle. ' Four BIjz Successes.

For thirteen months a full set of every denomination could be bought at its face value, $16.34 ; but to-day those stamps are being sold by dealers at from $20 to $25, and there is good reason to expect a further rise in price.

The many quaint and curious patt?rns are fully illus trated, the whole article, for the first time, embodying a faithful account of un old American industry. It is an article in which many country folk will be deeply interested. The Wall Street Daily News says: "At present high prices for corn the matter of feeding wheat to animals conies more nnd more into promi nence. As a hog will eat more wheat in a month than a human being will eat in a year, it is quite evident that if his feeding is to continue and to any great extent, it will prove a 'rapid transit' mode of consumption not hitherto counted on." Illinois farmers say they can get 80 cents for their wheat through the pork mar ket. The St. Paul Globe says the recent forest fires have. been a blessing in disguise to labor. They have burned the bark off the pine trees without injuring the timber. These trees will now have to be cut as they would soon become worm-eaten and worth less if left to stand. Hence, hundreds of millions of feet of stumpage wi'l be cut the coming winter that other wise would not have been touched for years. This looks like bringing good out of evil. Nevertheless it must be admitted that the fires have very largely reduced the labor supply. It's an ill wind that blows nobody good. The shipments of American products from San Francisco to China and Japan are showing a heavy increase, due to the war be tween those two countries. Flour, beans, pork, corned beef, canned goods and leather form the bulk of the shipments. Arms and ammuni tion are not reported among the shipments, but tea is. The shipments of tea to these tea-raising countries is an innovation which can be ex plained only on the theory that under that designation something else is being sent gunpowder tea, possibly. m Marvelous Results. From a letter written by Rev. J. Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract : "I have no hesitation in recommend ing Dr. King's New Discovery, as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junc tion 6he was brought down with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interrup tion and it seemed as if she could nrtt survive them. A friend recommended Dr. King's New Discovery ; it was quick in its work and highly satisfac tory in results." Trial bottles free at II. J. Dwinell's Drug Store. Regular size 50c. and $1.00.
