"Uoed-hyo ; we'll fornge further te the front, nud If we succeed in tilling our wagons we will net disturb jeu ; lr net, we will ro re turii and Inspect the contents el that llttle crib," and I rode oil with as severe an ex pression as I could assume.

The train moved oil with tlm olllcer 111 charge nt the head or tlm line, nud I had a portion of the guard thrown lerward under command of a sergeant, 1 bat lug taken the responsibility te bring up the reir guard.

It seemed sometimes te Mr. l'arkes that nothing but the trump or (labrlel could arouse his people Irem their sins nnd make them bellove en tlie Lord and fellow His toetstetis. Te-daj' no a long tlme before te-day he had mused nud prajed till an Idea took shape lu his thought, and new he was te put It In practlce ; yet he felt pccullarlj' responsible and solemnlzod as he looked about him and foreboded the success of Ids oxperlmont. Then there llashed across him, as words or Scripture will come back te the habitual Hlblo-reader, the neble utterance or Gamaliel concerning Peter and his brethren when thej' steed borero the council : " lr this counsel or this work he or men, it will ceme le naught ; butir It be of (led, ye can not oterthrow IL" Se with a sense or strength the nilnister spoke. "My dear friend," he said, "yju all knew, though I did net gitenny nntlce te that elicit, that this week is the Week of I'raj'cr.

He only shook his grilled head and sat immov able. " Let us sing the doxology," said Mr. l'arkes ; mid It was sung with full lorter. The new idea had routed the church lully ; it was something fixed .mil positive te de ; it was the lever-point Archimedes longed for, and eatli roll readj- and strong te mete a world. Saturday nightthechurcli assembled again. The cheerlul eagerness was geno Irem thelr faces; thej' looked downcast, troubled, wearj, as the pister expected. When the box ler ballets was pissed about, each 0110 tore n bit el piper from the sheet placed lu the hymu-lioeks for that purpese nud wrote mi it a 11.11110. The pister said, alter he had counted them : " Deacen Lmmeiis, the let has fallen en you." " I'm sorry for 't," said the deacon, rising up and taking oil his oterceat. "I ha'n't get the best of tecerds, Mr. l'arkes, new 1 tell ye." "That Isn't what we want," said Mr. l'arkes.

Then I went mi t;et an nx, nud I chopped up that tltere pump into little bits, because 1 didn't vv nut anyone else In knew what I was adeliif;. 1 item en saving up my money, and when I thought 1 had cueuuh I told a man liatiie lleilly, whose beets 1 used te shine, that I wanted him tnitet 1110 a patent ' Why,' sat she te 1110, It tv ill cost money.' 1 lust told him 1 had it, 1111' I nave him fl-I mi' he iiet 1110 11 patent.
