THE WAY. TO SETTLE DIFF.
FACULTIES.

Two neighbours who we're brothers
by marriage had difficulty respecting
their partition fence. Although they
had mutually erected substantial fence
four and one half feet in height on the
line separating the sheep pasture Of one,
from the grain field of the other. yet the
lambs would creep through the creyices
and destroy the grain.
Each asserted it to be the duty Of the
other to chink the fence--sfter the usual
preliminaries Of demands, tefusals. threats,
challenges. and mutual recriminations, they
resolved TO try The glorious uncertainty
Of the law"--they were however persuad
ed by their friends to the more amicsbls
mode of submitting the difference to che
final determination Of very worthy and
intelligent neighbor, who was forthwith
conducted 10 the scene Of trouble, and
in full view Of the premises, each party 10
turn, in a speech Of some length, urged
his claim, asserted his rights. and sc. forth
the law and the fscis"--sl the conclusion
Of which the arbitrator very gravely re-
marked: !" Gentlemen. the case involves
questions Of grea, nicely and importance

THE CHILn,S DREAM.

II is not subject Of wonder TO those
who have carefully observed how the love
of self, INDUCED for years, hardens ,he
heart, and exiinguishes in il all regard
for The good Of others, that those who
make no profession Of religion (which in
cludes love TO the neighbor) should be
willing to get rich by selling intoxicating
drinks 10 such as have become enslayed
10 The vice OF drunkenness: - But tha, any
who did make such professions, and who
even held places Of responsibility IN the
church, should thus sell themselves TO evil,
is indeed surprising. They Of course.
can only be rlassed with hypocri,es.
The office Of 'sdeacon" in some oil The cas-
tern states, has been'repealedly scsndaliz-

and suadry similar stories founded on ac-

published, called the " History OF the
