BABY WHITE.
My baby white will sleep to-niht,
I heard the watchers say.
No more bis tired littie maa
Is heard both eight and day ;
And the patient mother folds tier Lands
To softly weep and pray.
The little cradle empty standi.
The littie carriatw, too.
The tiny hat is laid aside.
The tiny Luif worn shoe.
And the mother's erms, O, aching arms!
Are empty, empty, too.
0, little balf oped bad, bow sweet
The fragrance that you shed.
You do not heed the tears that fall
Upon your low green bed.
Like balm pretsed out from wounded hearts,
From whence all joy has fled.
You are not there ! yonr angel wings
Brush soft your mother's face.
Your arms about berneck are wonnd,
S"ie lies in your embrace ;
O not afar ! Close, cloae to her,
That is your dwelling place.

GRACE BRAY ION.
"Do yon really think there is anything
in it?" asked Arthur Denton looking
down into the flushed and interested
face, with a half amused smile.
"Why, yes, Arthur, I do," answered
Grace, hesitatingly. "I think there is
6uch a thing as tLought transference, but
whether any practical use could be made
of it or not I'm sure I don't know."
Arthur Denton and Grace Brayton
were aflianced lovers. Their parents
had been lifelong friends and for years
had lived in the same block in Conton
vi'.le. As children they had attended
the same school and had never been sep
arated except for the few years that Ar
thur had been st college and Grace La i
been at boarding school. Everyone had
always expected them to marry, conse
quently their engagement shortly after
Arthur entered business had created no
sensation, and they had fallen into the
habits of engaged conples so naturally
that they hardly realized any difference
themselves. They were only waiting for
Arthur's expected promotion in business
before settling down into s home of th-'r
own.
While at school, Grace had become
very much interested in metaphysics
and kindred studies and was in
clined to speculate s good deal in phy
siology. Bat Arthur's more conserva
tive mind hated mystery and disliked
new ideas, so in their many disenseions
on the subject he usually made light of
her theories and sometimes quizzed her
unmercifully about them. But to-night
Grace, who had been reading the report
of the Society of 1'sychicil Research of
England, was more earnest than usual
and had succeeded in inciting Arthur to
a more serious consideration of the sub
ject than ever before. Yet their discus
sion had ended with the question and
answer with which our story opens.
"Well, dearie," continued Arthur, as
he arose to go. "I won't tease you any
more. I'm sure, if I thought transfer
ence were s possibility, .it would be very
nice for loers."
Treatise ne one thing," Grace said,
impulsively, putting her Lands on Lis
shoulders as she stood in front of him
and looking earnestly into his face, "that
if we are ever separated and yoa shoold
feel me calling yon, that yoa will come
at once.
"I promise," answered Arthur, kissing
her good night and feeling very sure
that they never should be separated very
long if he could binder it.
A few months afterward Arthur Den
ton sat in Lis oifioe late one afternoon
feelings bit lonesome. Grace was spend
ing s few weeks with a school friend who
had married a lumberman and was liv
ing in a little town called Beech wood in
Northern Wisconsin. Her enthusiastic
descriptions of the woods and wild fljw
ers bad at last induced Grace to make
her s long visit. The long expected pro
motion had come and their wedding day
was fast approaching, so Arthur's medi
tations were not altogether unpleasant as
he drummed idly on the writing desk
from which his afternoon's pile of letters
had just been taken by the clerk. Sud
denly he felt a shiver go down his back
and creep over his nerves, followed by
hia name being called by some one, he
thought, in pain. He started to his feeL
There was no one in the room, and when
for s moment he opened the door and
peered into the workroom everything
wm as usual there. Who could have
called him? The voice sounded like
Grace's, bat Grace was lOd miles away.
It surely must have been imagination.
He sat down and presently the sime sen
sation occurred again, followed by the
same call. But this time he perceived
that the voice was not an audible one.
It was only Lis own sensation which
made it seem to be so.
He arose and began to walk the floor
trying to shake off the feeling. Bat again
and again he felt the strange shiver, fol
lowed by the impression that he was
being called. Suddenly he remembered
his talks with Grace and he stood still in
his walk, and he wondered if she could
be calling him now.
-I don't believe there's anything in it,"
he muttered, "and yet if it should tarn
out that she is in trouble I'd never for
give myself if I do not go to her."
He locked the office and waiting only
to give s few directions to the clerk, he
hastened to the house of the Bray tons to
inquire il the bad heard from Grace.
Yes, s letter had jast been received and
she was all right when it was written.
Not having the courage to tell ber pa
rents of the nameless fear that oppressed
him ke hurried to his own home. On
bis way be came to s sodden decision.
Til ran np to Beech wood for s day or
two, anyway," he thought ; "it will do
no harm even if she is all right, and as I
feel now I certainly could not sleep until
I know how she was."
He harried home, got bis overcoat, and
was soon rushing in the direciion of
Beech wood as fast as the stesm cars could
carry him. It wass long night to him,
for his anxiety increased every mile.
He locked pale and worn wh en he ax
rived st his destination between 8 and 9
the next morning.
"Will yoa please direct me to Mr.
Be n tier's residence he asked of the
station agent as soon as he stood upon the
platform.
"His house is over there," answered
the yoang man, nodding to the only fine
resident in the little new town, situated
n Ff
1
on a small hill a short distance from the
depot, "but there is no one there now ;
everybody in town is out in the woods
hunting for that city girl."
"Is she lost Miss Brayton '." gasped
Arthur.
"They say that she is."
"How did it happen? Tell me. quick !"
"Why, yoa see, the ladies went out
horseback riding lat night about sun
down and Miss Bray ton's horse took
fright and ran into the woods with her
on its back. Mr. Bintly and some men
followed her as quickly as possible, and
after awhile they came npon the horse
eating grass and she was nowhere to be
seen. They came back and organized a
hunt. They've been out all night and
had not found her when last heard
from."
'Oh, my poor Grace," groaned Arthur.
"Please tell me how I can find the men
and 1" go and help them, he added, to
the agent.
"I'll go, too, ins minute," the young
man responded, hastening back to his
ollice as the train moved sway frum the
station. As they harried sway Le hand
ed Arthur a ball of twine.
"Put that in your pocket," Le said :
"you may need it. When a fellow gets
out in the wools he's liable to lose his
bearings and not be able to tell the oints
of the compass or anything, so we g-ner-ally
take along some string to use for a
guide whenever we go off the regular
beat."
Arthur took the twine mechanically
and they soon reached the edge of the
woods. Here tbey found Mrs. Bentley,
surrounded by a group of sympathizing
women, crying and reproaching herself
by turns for having allowed Grace to ride
that particular hors-3. Pausing only a
moment to greet her, Arthur and the
agent hurried in the direction she told
him Mr. Bent!y and the men had taken,
and in an hour or two canto npon them
as they bad paused for s parley in a
slightly open space.
"Denton, old boy, how did yoa hap
pen to come?" exclaimed Mr. Bently,
springing forward tj meet Arthur as he
saw him approach.
"I came on the morning train and in
quired for you, and the agent told rue
what had happened."
"Weil, we are doing all we can you
see."
Then, in a few words, he detailed the
plan of the hunt, asking Arthur if he
Lad any suggestions to offer. The theory
the men were working on was that (trace
had either jumped or been thrown from
her horse unhurt and had then started to
return to the village, but, missing her
way, was still wandering in the forest.
If she had been hurt, they argued, she
would have been found near the horsd or
along the path between Lim and the vil
lage. Arthur had no suggestions to
make, but was anxious to be at work, so
he fell into the place aligned him, and
the whole party moved on, occasionally
hallooing or blowing horns and whistles
to attract tte attention of the lost girl
should she be within sound of their
voices and instruments. They moved
steadily on until noon, when they met
another party of men who had been
searching in another direction. A halt
was called, and after consultation thought
that it was no ose to push the hunt furth
er in this manner, as all were sure that
they must Lave overtaken the girl ere
this were she simply walking about.
Arthur lay on the grass with his hat
over his eyes and a great cry going oat of
his heart.
"Oh, Grace! Grace!" he cried mental
ly ; "if there is such a thing as thought
communication do tell me where yoa
are, that I may coma to you."
He had begun to think that she mast
be dead, yet he could not rid himself of
the impression tht she was calling him.
Could it be that she was calling him from
the other world ?
"If I only knew," he thought, "I could
bear it better."
Presently he remembered that she had
often told him thut in order to receive a
message it was necessary that the mind
should be a calm and passive state. With
a strong effort of the will he controlled
Lis feeiinzs, and remained perfectly
quiet while he awaited the coming of the
message. In the course of a few mo
ments the -fell-known shiver passed over
his nerves, followed by a glimpse of an
open space in the wood', a dark hole and
something lying at the bottom.
Like s flash it came to him that Grace
might have .fallen into some hole and
been hurt back near the clearing.
"Have we paseed any holes into which
she could fallen?" be asked of Bentley,
starting np suddenly.
"I haven't noticed any," was the an
swer, "let we naven t tooaea particu
larly, as we were so sure she would be
found wandering around."
' Let's go back and look over the ground
yoa went over last night," soil Arthur,
springing to his feet, with fresh hope in
his face.
The men were nothing loth to go in
the direction of home, so they were soon
in readiness to start, Arthur walked be-
siJe Bjntlev in silence for awhile, look
ing carefully for every appearance of a
hole. At last Le stopped stiiL
"I'm going to try an experiment Bent
ley," he said, taking some twine from
his pocket and fastening it to a tree as he
spoke. "I wish yoa wouldn't qaettton
me, but yoa and a few men wait here
until I'm half an hoar ahead of yoa then
follow me slowly."
"All right," said Bently, so completely
discouraged that he would have followed
anything Arthur saggested, if only to be
relieved from the oppressive responsibil
ity of leading s hopeless hunt.
Arthur plunged into the forest letting
the ball of twine in his hand unwind as
be went.
When be bad gone far enough away
from the rest to be unseen by them and
their voices unheard by him, he paused,
leaned against s tree and closed his eyes,
while be waited to see if any more im
pressions would cotL.e to him.
The shudder did not com 3 this time,
but he felt strangely impelled to go in s
certain direction. It was ss if some
thing were palling Lim. He followed
the strange impulse and it led him
throngh the most tangled portion of the
forest, in s direction tranverse to the one
taken by the men
Semetimes it was with difficulty he
made bis way over the fallen stamps and
through matted underbrush ; then be
would come to a comparatively open
space, when progress was easy for s short
distance. He made frequent sU-ps, du
ring which with closed eyes he waited
for some new iinpu!e to come to Lim,
but nothing more definite than the in
visible pulling came. Sometimes Lis
heart misgave him, but he pushed on in
epiteof his fear, and was surprised after
a time to find himself hurrying along,
an unconscious eairerness having taken
possession of bis whole nature.
At last he came unexpectedly upon a
little forest lake, and a flock of w ild
ducks, disturbed by his appearance, flew
upward with a sudden whirring sound.
The Jane sun was shining down upon
the water with an uncomfortable heat.
Not a breath of air stirred its surface, and
around it on every side, as far as Arthur
could see, was dense, dark forest, lie
hesitated which way to turn but the
unseen impulse seemed to lead along the
shore which he followed for a quarter if
a mile, when Le came to s little clear
ing. A few trees had been fehed and their
stumps were still standing. The remains
of an old log cabin half fallen to decay,
showed that the place Lad once been
occupied as a home or a lumber camp.
He wascroesing the clearing, looking
in every direction to see that no sign of
the lost one should escape his eye, when
he was startled by a low moan. He
listened and heard it again
"Grace, Grace," he called, with beating
heart. "Are yoa here ?"
There was no answer, but again he
heard that low moan, this time quite
near. He followed the sound a few
steps and came to what had been a shal
low well radely stoned up, but now per
fectly dry and so overgrown with weeds
and grastes that Le came near pacing it
by unnoticed.
Ho sprang forward, and kneeling at
the opening, looked down and plainly
saw s woman's form lying at the bottom ,
while another moan made assurance
doubly sure. It was the work cf but a
moment for him to climber down the
rough sides of the old we!! and tenderly
lift up the form of Grace. She did not
know him, and as he turned her face to
ward the light her flushed cheeks and
restless eyes told him that she was in
the delirium of fever. Li fling her up as
high as he could and partially resting
her body on a projecting stone, he suc
ceeded in climbing to the top an 1 laying
her tenderly on the grass, with his coat
for a pillow, and ran back after the men,
shouting as he went. Ue ha J not gone
far when an answering shout tld him
they were a!ready coming.
Tve found Ler. She's tart, Coaje
and help me," he called.
"Ay, ay," from a dozen voices, and the
crackling of the bushes in every direction
gave proof ttit they were not slow in
coming to his aid.
"Why, this is Jack Shaw's old cabin,"
exclaimed Mr. Bentley, as he came in
sight of the place. "It was near here
that we found the horse."
They made a litter of the savory pine
branches, tied together with string and
cushioned with men's coat3, and lifted
Grace, still moaning, upon it. Then
strong arms rarried her tenderly back to
the village, while the sution agent ran
on ahead to telegraph to the doctor, and
a crowd of small boys accompanied or
outran him in their eagerness to tell ti.e
news.
Yes, she lives. One limb had be n
broken by Ler fall, and f-.-ar and exposure
had greatly shattered her nerves, sa the
fever had a long run. B it careful nurs
ing and a g J constitution brought Lcr
through at last. As soon ai s;i was able
to sit up she was taken home and while
she was still an invalid she and Arthur
were married.
' Grace," said Arthur one evening that
autumn, as he was leading an article on
psychic intlaenceaload to her from a
magazine, "did you really try to call n.e
that night you fell in the woo.ls?"
"Oh, yes," she answered. "I knew it
was the only way I'd ever ba found, to
long as I had my senses I kept calling
and calling.
"Weil, I don't understand it. My
finding you as I did tny he a mere
coincidence, but I never should have
gone after you as I did if I had not be
lieved you were calling me at the time.
"Weil, I was," said Grace simply.
And Arthur, looking up into ber sweet,
calm face, wondered at the simple faith
of women.
Rulos For V.'aterlng Cow3-
There is a diff-.-rence of opinion among
tniUmen as to whether it pays to warm
the water for cows in winter. Some
think that where steam is at hand it
pays to warm the water to about seven
ty degrees ; others say that cows do quite
as well with water of an ordinary tem
perature of the we!!, which is about
forty live to fifty degrees. Bit ail agree,
says the Massachusetts Ploughman, that
it is better not to give ice water to the
cows. The tub or trough Bhouid be
either upset after watering, to drain out
the water, or shoal 1 be provided w ith a
plag in the bottom for this purpose, then
let the water be pumped fresh from the
well or turned on from the cistern while
the cattle are not drinking, and not al
lowed to cool or freezs by exposura be
fore they can satisfy themselves. Cows
accustomed to drink warm water wiil
not drink cold water, hence the import
ance of regularity in warming when
once it is attempted.

PASTORAL VISITATION.
A P.ra KKAD BEFORE Tli HIXIMTERIAL
ASSOCIATION or SHU EISSKT, TA , JAS.
IS'M, BY REV. T. P. BKISTOW.
r.ih.it work in of the greatest import
ance in the calling of the Christian Min
istry. If we fail there, in a measure we
fail every w here. The demand for thor
ough preparation is greater now than
ever, and if we are to instruct and edify
our congregations we most diligently pre
pare our work. All this requires time,
and we must give it our chief attention.
Extemporaneous addresses or sermons
are of little worth in the age ia which we
live, or indeed iu any other. Whether
we preach with manuscript, or without ;
the "beaten oil" only must be brought
into the sanctuary. Our tu'or used to say,
"when you imagine yoa can get along
without study, your people wiil think
they can get along without you."
But it is essential in order that the
pastor may be in toach with his people,
and that he may acceptably minister, that
he should visit them in their homes. Dr.
1111 of New York says : "A house going
pastor will make a church going people."
This visitation should be pastoral and
not merely cf a casual character. A hap
hazard calling npon the people "year in
and year out" is not pastoral work. It is
essential that the pastor be genial, and
cilismay be tnxle other than pastoral,
but the main business in visiting is to
farther our church work and bring souls
to Christ.
We think it best, nuless "previously
invited in a social way" not to remain to
ett. Except when ppeoiaily invited we
should use our own knife and fork. A
minister with Lis elder visited a Ciaiily
in a remote parish in Scottland. It was
noon when they arrive 1 and the lirat
thing in order waj dinner. It was gen
erous and well appreciated. After din
ner tae pastor read to the family the ac
count of the miraculous feeding of the
multitude, laying stress upon the fact that
thevgithered twelve baskets fill of the
fragments ihat remained over aad above
that which was eaten.
When ail was over and the g teta de
parted the canny Scotchman sii 1 : "Frag
ments! oh my! fragments that remained
if they had !ad the appetities of oar min
ister and elder there would have been no
"fragments." "
Thrt reading of t tod's word and a brief
prayer, will in nearly every cse be wel-
coiua,and in some places anxiously an
ticipated. The visible church of Christ
being composed of believers in him and
their children, the pastor must visit the
homes of his people to be in full sympa
thy with the whole household. A pastor
in a large city passed on his way to church
boose where a baby was being held op
to the win low by itsnurse. He pleasant
ly waved bis hand to the little one and
paed on. The next Sabbath the father
and mother of the child were there with
the little one to respond to the genial pas
tor's salutation. It is needless to remark
that he soon hal that household in his
church.
In pastoral calls pref.-rence mast a! ways
be given to the sL-k and sorrowful. The
good done in this way is-incalculable,
aad we find a place in the hearts of the
pajple when we fiithfally dis--harg this
part of our work. Tae members of the
household at hoaie at the time of a pas
toral visit should be Asked, without too
much ceremony, to unite in the religious
exercise, and the prayer must include
the children and if their na-u-s are men
tioned s much the better.
A little chilil saying its sweet prayer at
her mother's knee after the usu i! prayer
had been made said "what shall I pray for-
the preacher, for he prayed for mi in our
hous to day ? '
The visit shou! 1 be short. Short pray
er1, s!irt sermni3a.il short visits are
usually thj ba Sjjij pe p!a arjui-
reasonable in this matter, bat they mast
be taught by the firmness of the pastor
ho has no time if he be "a workman
needing not to 1)2 asharuid" to wiste in
mere chatter.
Those needing instruction or counsel
sho lid be visited in a brotherly tu in fir.
"A word in stasia Low gojl it is" sav
ing many a man from moral shipwreck.
We think there ihould be reciprocity in
this matter of visitation and that it
would be a "means of grace" to some par
ishioners to call upon the pastor. Speak
a good word, and by dee-Is as well as
word of kindness cheer him in his work.
While in our social conversj we mast
be "all things to all men" c ire must hi
tak ;n not to degrade the ministry by the
Tamiliarity that breeds contemp'."
While instructioa may be given, it need
not be heavy. We mast be faithful to
the eouls cota-citted to our care, but deep
doctrinal subject or mataphyiical ques
tions are not appropriate on a pastoral
visit. There is a proper time for the di-i-cussionof
these things; ths tra3 psstor
will koow when.
In our visits we may find the skepti
cally inclined now and then. The way
to meet this is by eaa.tiSed "common
sense," and with patience and charity
that "bojeth ail things" Bit it has been
well sail "com -non sense is not the sen
that is eoruavon."
Oar mission is to build up the church
and "win souls to Christ." In cVng this
our pastoral work if wisely directed, will
be vety useful. Men are to be won by
personal c ntact aud persuasion.
4 leading member of church ia New
York afked his pastor to sp?a'c to his son
about uniting with the church. "Why
not speik to him yoarsilf?" was the re
j jinder. "I choke if I try to speak to
John about religion sir." "Weil then yoa
must choke," said bis pastor and friend
for well he knew that this personal
parental soii-itude might bring the son
to s right decision.
Ia all our work may there be evident
what is so truly expressed by the poet,
in describing the village pastor:
"And a a bird eac'j f iod endearment tries,
To tempt its new ft -Jl otfspriog to the
ikies.
He trieleach ar rejrvej e:h dail delay
AUared to brighter worlds and led the way."

Value of Vaccination.
The state board of health, in cider to
i'oiprcss the value cf vaccination as a
preventive of smallpox upon the public,
has ieu?d a circular in which the state,
tnent of the deliberate decision of Uie

a a prvvettiv ! .u:ii!):, aud also,
of ti:e gn Jlids Oil which this decision
rests." lite board presents the following
as the embodiment of the experience acd
views cf the medical faculty in reference
to the sul j-ct :
First-Successful vaccination with gen
uine virus does exert a protective power
sgaicst smallpox.
Second After a successful vaccination
there is a period of some months or
years in whi h its protective influence
is far greater than that of a previous at
tack of smallpox itself would be.
Third That following this period of
well-nigh perfect immunity, there is a
very slow and gradual diminution of the
protective influence which renders sub
sequent re-vaccinal ion advisable.
Fourth This period of partial prvtec
tion, in the vast majority of persons, lasts
throughout life.
Fifth Smallpox, in vaccinated per
sons, nearly always takes the form of
"varioloid ;" the attack being lets severe
far lets dangerous and of mach shorter
duiationthan the disease in on vaccinat
ed persons. The mortality among tho6
w ho have taken smaiipox a second time
is five times as great as that of varioloid.
Sixth Every widespread epidemic o?
smallpox shows that vaccination not
only vastly diminishes the couaber of
cases, but also greatly lowers the mor
tality among those actually attacked by
the disease.
Seventh The operation of vaccina
tion, like any other wound of the skin,
may, theoretically, be the means of in
troducing dlseatt? of more or less serious
nature. Bat practically such accidents
are so rare that the vast maj irity of phy
sicians scarcely witness a single case in
a lifetime.
Eighth The very exceptional cccur
renceofan occasional cas of disease
caused by vaccination, simply argues
the necessity for tare in the propagation
and selection of virus, and during and
after the operation, but furnishes not
the slightest reason agaiubt the universal
employment of vaccination as a precau
t.on against the far greater perils o f
smallpox.

She came liuiping over the pavement

exclaimed :
"Are yoa all blind and deaf on this

The conductor rang two bells and made
to answer, and when she had taken
seat inside s poasengtr asked :
"Why didn't yoa explain that she was
on the wrong side of the street for the
coming down car?"
"My dear man, it would have been
breath thrown away," he replied. "That
woman lives around here and has been
riding on this line for five years. I've
explained and explained, and so has
every other conductor, but what good ha
