ILLUMINATING PURPOSES.
The proprietor of this Oil has for several years
felt the necessity of providing for, and presenting
to the public, as a substitute for the dangerous

rious and costly experiments, he has succeeded In
providing, and now oilers to the public, such a
substitute in "CAItSON'S STELLAH OIL." It
should be used by every family,
1ST, Because it, Is safe beyond a question. The
primary purpose In the preparation of STELLAR
OIL has been to make It FEKFECTLY SAFE,
thus insuring the lives and property of those who
use It.
2D, Because it is the most BUILLIANT liquid Il
luminator now known.
3D, Because It Is more economical, la tho long
run, than any of the dangerous oils and fluids
now In too common use.

therefore economical, giving the greatest possi
ble light at the least expenditure to the consum
er. Its present standard of SAFETY AND
BIULLIANCY will always be maintained, for
upon this the proprietor depends for sustaining

might get rid of Cousin Jedodiuh so she
said :
" Hero comes vour friend. Am,:

" I always thought I should liko to take

Annio cast a tcrrildo Munnn

helpless despair, while Cousin Jodediuh,
unmindful of the effect his kind ofl'er h.l

fore company.
" What shall wo do ?'' queried Mrs,
Warrington helplessly.
" Let him go, I suppose," replied her
daughter, laughing; ' I suppose there is
no help for it he won't take a hint."
" And there is Sylvester Tront, he will
be with you, said Mrs. Warrington, des
pairingly, " nnd ho is so aristocratic in
his ideas. You know he cut the Meltons
when he discovered that they had a sec
ond cousin a tailor. What will he say t"
" 1 uon t care what ho says," said Aa
nie turning her head. " Ho is a con
ceited monkey and now I will take
Cousin Jcdediah, if it's only to spite
him!"
What Mrs. Warrington was about to
say, Annio never knew, for at that in
stant a stentorian voico at the foot of tho
stairs shouted-:
" I say, Cousin Annio, hurry up and
come down 1 licro s all the iolks down
here setting on thorns waiting for you
They're afraid tho river will run dry if
wo don t get there soon 1
" Annie, go, for Heaven's sake I" mur
mured Mrs. Warrington, plaintively; "or
that monster will bring the liouso down
on our heads !
In response to this pathctio appeal.
Annie hurried down stairs to her impa
tient guests.
To record tho saying and doings of
Uousin .Jedcdiah, on tho way to tho banks
ot tho Schuylkill, would fill a volume
Ho inquired of Mr. Sylvester Trent
blandly, " whether ho was any relation to
Jake irent who got six months for steal
ing a garden rake irom Squire Jinks,"
adding that ho thought he saw a family
rcscniblence."
Mr. Trent indio-nautly kept silent, and
looked out of tho carriage window, mut
tering under his breath something about
boors and ruffians.
Then he showed a desire to know tho
why and whereforo of everything, ques
tioning everybody indiscriminately; and
in short, behaved just like a person will
do, to whom everything is now and
strange, and who has not tact enough to
conceal their ignorance.
And then when they were on tho river
in the boat, ho nearly maddened Mr. Syl
vester Trent by asking so many questions
trying, it seemed, to learn tho art of sail
ing that vessel in ono lesson.
At last, having exhausted every tooio
of conversation, Jedcdiah became silent
lrom Bhcer weariness, and leaning back
he contemplated with a critical, though
ODserving eye, tno beautilul scenery on
the banks of tho Schuylkill.
" Not bad," ho said approvingly, " es
pecially when it's in the middle of the
city." And then ho looked around to
see if any one agreed or disagrcod with
him. Mr. Trent was occupied in manag.
ing tho boat, and tho four ladies wcro
chatting together ; so his remark brought
loriu no reply.
Jcdediah, shading his faco with his
conical hat, was fast gliding into tho land
of dreams, when he was rudely awakened
by tho boat giving a lurch, and nearly
precipitating him into the river, nnd at
the sumo time ho heard a piercing scream.
Grasping the side of the boat to steady
hiniBclf, ho looked up and saw Miss An
nio Warrington and ono of her lady
friends struggling in tho water. ' '
"Holp! Murder" eried Mr. Trent
vociferously, i
" Hold your tongue, you fool !" cried
Jcdediah, savagely, " and don't run the
darned boat on top ot them i
io take oil his hut and coat, and kick
off his boots, was tho work of a moment
with Cousin Jedcdiah, and tho next in
stant be was in tho river, had Annio by
the arm, and then back into tho bout be
fore sho rightly understood where sho
was.
Miss Florence Mountjoy, tho other fair
bather, had tho good fortune to have on
crinolino that would have supported a
seventy-four, and Jedcdiah merely had to
tow her to tho boat and lift her in : but
as sho was under the firm impression that
bho was rapidly sinking, ot course sho im
mediately tainted. ' On coming to, she
hugged Jedcdiah, and blessed him, and
called him her " deliverer," to that gentle
man's great confusion, for he sat looking
rather foolish, rubbing his noso with the
brim of his hat, and unswerednot a word.
Annie meroly pressed his hand gratefully.
aud Jedodiuh was satisfied.
He immediately becanio a horo iu tho
eyes of tho quurtctto of ladies, and praises
were showered on . him (to Mr. Trent's
great indignation) to that extent that he
becauio quito miserable, and wondered
internally whether such a couimonplaco
thing (for it was merely a delightful bath
to him) was so rare that they should make
such a fuss about it.
" But how did you come to tumble in?"
he asked, to stop their .tongues.
Then it came out that , Mr. , Sylvester
Tront had. been direlict in his duty, and
not keeping his eyo on tho boat,, had al-J
lowed it to. swervo in its course,, thus
presenting the sido of the sail to tho wind
causing the boat to lurch suddenly, and
the two unfortunates, , being seated on
the bout could not recover their balanco
in time, and thus the catastrophe. '
Cousin Jedediah took a sudden rise In
estimation of Mrs. Warrington that even
ing, when she heard about his " gallant
conduct," as her daughter termed it t and
she insisted on his staying1 a couple of
weoKB, at tno very wast. " ' " i
This ho wouldn't listen to civioc as an
excuse that it was " haying titno, and dad
wanted all the hands he could get;" but
he promised he would return in the win
ter. And he did and being introduced in
to society, he soon ceased to bo eccentrio
in his manner, for Jedediah was quick
to 1 earn. He also discarded his outland
ish stylo of dress, to Mrs. Warrington's
groat relief ; and except for a little plain
speaking at times, he would hardly have
been known as tho same person by his
most intimate friends.
" And of course ho married Annie?
Of courso he did I
Mr. Sylvester Trent was quito disgus
ted at her lack of taste, but she says that
Jcdediah is worth a baker's dozen of such
" spoons" as ho, and I think so too !
Don't you ?

SUNDAY EE AIDING.
A Tardon Locked up.
Hugh Stowell says " In tho Isle of Man,
as I was one day walking on the sea shore,
I remember contemplating with thrilling
interest on old gray ruined tower covered
with ivy. There was a remarkable history
connected with the spot. In that towor
was formerly hangod ono of the best
governors the island ever possessed. He
had been accused of treachery to the
king during the time of the civil wars,
and received sentence of death. Inter
cession was made on his behalf, and a
pardon was sent ; but that pardon fell
into tho hands of his bitter enemy, who
kept it locked up, and tho governor was
hanged. His namo is still honored by
tho many ; and you may often hear a pa
thetic ballad sung to his memory to the
musio of the spinning wheel. Wo must
feel horror-struck at the fearful turpitude
of that man, who, having the pardon for
his fellow-creature in his possession, could
keep it back, and lot him dio tho death
of a traitor. But let us restrain our in
dignation till we ask ourselves whether
God might not point his finger to most
of us, and say, ' ' Thou art the man ! Thou
hast a pardon in thino hands to save thy
fellow-creatures, not from temporal, but
eternal death. Thou hast enjoyed it
thyself, but hast thou not kept it back
from thy brother, instead of sending it to
the ends of tho earth '"
An Anecdote of Sir. Spurgcon.
Tho South London Press gives what
it calls a characteristic anecdote of Spur
geau. ltccontly an eminent Baptist
called on him and made a statement to the
following effect : Ten years ago he had
set aside 1,000 towards building a
chapel, but untoward circumstances had
intervened and prevented the execution
of his design. This ho was, now, ho
said, desirous of carrying into execution,
and ho trusted Mr. Spurgeon would
render him his assistance. " What do
you wish me to do ? asked tho tabernacle
pastor. " To give mo your powerful
oid jn raising a socond thousand, which
is imperatively required." " I under
stand," said Mr. Spurgeon ; " but let us
see you had the use of this money for
ten years?" " Yes." " During that time
it must have been worth to you at least
ten per cent, per annum '(" " "Well, I
dare say." "Then, my dear sir, you
have got tho money without troubling mo.
Go, and build the chape!." And the
applicant departed, satisfied with this
business-like and thoroughly practical
view of tho matter.
Cherish the Living.
I saw a palo mourner stand bending
over tho tomb, and tears fell fast and
often. As ho raised his humid eyes to
heaven, he said :
" My brother ! O, my brother !"
A sage passed that way, and said :
" For whom dost thou morn '("
" One," replied ho, " whom I did not
sufficiently lovo whilo living, but whoso
inestimable worth I now feel."
" What wouldst thou do if he were re
stored to thee ?"
The mourner replied that he never
would offend him by any unkind word,
but would take every occasion to show
his friendship if he could but come back
to his fond embrace.
" Then waste not thy time in useless
grief, said tho sage : " But if thou hast
friends, go and cherish the living, re
membering that they will ono day be
dead also."
Outward Beauty. ' ' "
Belicvd me, thero is many a road into
our hearts besides our ears and brains ;
many a sight, aud sound and accent, even
of which wo have never thought at all,
sinks into our memory and holps to shape
our characters; and thus children brought
up among beautiful sights and sweet
sounds, will most likely show the fruits
ofthoir nursing by thoughtfulncss and
affection and nobleness of mind, even by
the expression of the countenance.
Those who live in towns should carefully
remember this for their own sakef .
Never lose an opportunity of seeing any
thing beautiful. Beauty is God's hand
writing a waysido sacrament; welcome
it in every fuir face, every fair sky, eyary
fair flower, and thank Him - for it, the
fountain of all loveliness, and drink it in
simply and earnestly, with all jour eyes;
it is a charmed draught, a cup of blessing.
Tuko Hold and Lift.
A teacher of tho Froediucn was sitting
at the window of her room watching two
negroes loading goods into a cart. One
of thera was disposed to shirk; tho other
stopped, and looking sharply at the lazy
ono, said
" Sam, do you expect to get to Heav
en 1" . ,
"Yes."
" Then take holl ' aiij lift."
Thero are a great many Christians in
our churches and , Sabbath schools who
expect to go to heaven, that would do
well to Mrcngthcn their hope of going '
thero by taking hold arid lifting some of
the burdens which they let their brethren
boar alone. " ' : -
IttiS" Tho flower of Christian graoos
grow ouly under tho shade of the cross,
and tho root of them all is humility.
