NilMNO (.'AMI*. Down Auiong- the miners In Snthe.rn Nerada there were collected in one catnn, about three years ago, nearly six hnntlml men. Many of them were men from refined and patriotic home* tn the east. Bat their reBnetaent. their re Jig: ion. and tbeir patriotism had sunt Into a desuetude that waa innocoon*. Ordi narily they knew neither Snodayt fast day, nor feast day. bnt unlet* they choee to \celebrate\ aoine divinity of their own sort, lu a seme not exactly re ferred to by the apostle, they esteemed every day alike. It owl been remembered by sotne one that Washington'* birthday was iimr, and it happened to fall on tbe day fol lowing pay-day, one when then* wa»j plenty or money lu the cniop. and few 1 ways of spending it. Some of the men rwceiredaii much aa lir^ a uioQth. and tbe whole amount paid out for bunrf at the *'Fifth ATUUOV 1 of thocatnp waa not over t ^da Mfuers 'are ftlways- eager to (rpend their money, so. with no patriotic uiotlrru, it was promptly doctded to make theeveulngof the tieenty-aecond a time of unlimited hilarity, At fintt. tome of the letter men in the camp were intereeted In the idea, but ad tbe rougher element got the ttffalr nnder their own control, tba' renjiectable men withdrew and let' thing* take their conrse. Ami a yery bad course it prodi- ised to be A program wait prepared that would have caused tbe Father of of bis Onuntrv to wish thut be bad never been born. If he were to be wade the exctwe: for such misdoings. Tbe room above a sato-m was hired k coarse song* and dancer were planned, lienor la un limited quantities was, of r«>iin*e, to lie provided, and It really ami as thtogb Satan, In the nam* of one of the moat correct o f men, waa to be in full com mand. And the worat of it was that he seemed to be coming Into bb own. About four weeka.before tula time a young man. his wife* and little girl had come into the camp. The HUH .' waa • mechanical engineer, and wm on hiui- nees for the company that owned the mine. The mine owners wvre. largely English, and Mr. Moffatt and his wife bail not been long In this country. The man was silent aad bu»ine*»-iikf, per* mltted no drinking nor * wearing among tbe men under him while In his eerrieev but be made no advance toward friendly relations with any ooe. Tbe wife was a plain woman, young and retiring. .The child was a very pretty, curly-haired little girl of leo years. . Tbey attended to their own affaim, and after a tittle rude attention from the women- of the camp, tbey had, become almost un- noticed. They had not. howe««r, been either unobservant or idle, lu lees than two weeks niter their arrival, one even ing, as tbey aat la their, bumble cabin, a conversation took place thut -angeU smiled to hear, and whk-h, later, many a man bad cans* to thank Ood for. ' \ •Eoery, f * aatd the wife, \I've been thloktn' as 'ow we Alat put 'ere for nothin.* This Is » awfat place, and if we'rv the Lord** chow'q, as' we *opa v— are, and If Va chosen to drop us Into place that s*efa« a most like the ben- trance into 'ades; If so' be-it isn't the very spot Itself, we can 't ait with folded hands and sea soals goiV to deet ruction. I ran't aWeo o' alg htsa -tkiakia' about it. And now. I say, let's start a Hnnday- •cbool. ff you'll see to the *all. Ill Uke Minna aad go around anoog tbe women and children and MW what' I can do.

They sneere<l at tbe Bible j reading, the \womanish\ Mongti, and hoped by a night of wild revelry to orer*, come the new influences. When.Mrs. Moffatt heard of the in* ! tended celebration, a mlgnty determiua- j tlon aroM within hsr soul to put an end ; to the whole plan. How to go to work wTw the question.
