81 GUY 1T BACK TO mNI."-Two Irish tenants of
Lord -, not many miles from Dublin, had be-
come somewhat remiss in paying up their rent, so
that "milord" was in the habit of severely rebuk-
ing them when its tardy payment was at last made
On one occasion, after considerable delay, one of
them made up, out of his miserable earnings the
necessary sum to pay the quarter, and was on his
way to the castle, when he was met by his neigh
Dor, Barney MDole, who inquired whittier he was
bound.
can sure, I'm going to pay my rint, but I'm
atcerd the lord will scowld me with bowld tongue
as he did aforetime, and that rims agin my con-
science, it does"
"I'hat's nather here nor there, Mike" answered
his companion, for it was only yesterday | paid
him meself, and he scowlded me, too, but | guy it
back to him, and it aised me conscience intirely, it
did"
"By the powers, thin, III do the same, Barney;
and though lord he may be, and a genteel, I'll
give him bit o. me mind, | will"
So Mike, armed with this bold resolution, ten
dered his quarters rent; but as the delinquency
was greater than usual, MILFORD rebued him more
than usually severe; whereupon Mike retorted i'm
pudentIy, and the next moment he was kicked out
by the servants into the yard.
Stiff and sore he picked himself up and limped
his way home, where he met Barney, to whom he
related his sad adventure, and asked him" An
did yer indade scowld the lord 2"

WORK FoR CHILDREN.-There is no greater de-
feet in educating children, than neglecting to ac
custom them to work. 1t is an evil that attaches
mostly to large towns and cities. Children suffer
much from it. The parent never considers wheth
er the chids work is necessary or not to the child
Nothing is more uncertain than their future indie
pendence and comfort; much depends on being ac-
customed to work, accustomed to provide for the
constantly recurring wants, that nature entaied on
us. If this were not So still preserves them from
bad habits, it secures their health, it strengthens
mind and body, 1t enables them better to bear the
confinement of the school room, and it tends more
than any thing else to give them just views of life.
1t is too often the case that children, provided
they spend half dozen hours day at school. are
permitted to spend the rest as they please Thus
they grow up in the world without knowledge of
its tolls and cares. They view it through false
medium. They cannot appreciate the tavors YOU
bestow, as they do not know the tolls they COST
Their bodies and minds are enervated and they
are exposed to whatever vicious associations are
within their reach
No man or woman is fully educated if not accus-
toned to manual labor Whatever accomplish
ments they possess, whatever their mental training
deduction must be made for ignorance of that
important chapter of the worlds great book

FALLING FROM GRAcE.-Zedekiah Broadhead
was man of somewhat less stature than Goliah of
Gath, though possessing, perhaps, as much physic-
al strength: so the village wresters thought, when
out of sport he took up whole handful of them
and dashed them on the ground. During relig-
ious revival, Zedekiah was converted and Joined
the Methodist church. One evening, while on his
way home from class-meeting, he was assailed by
half dozen of his former companions, shouting:
"Now Zed has become a christian and cannot fight,
let us give him thrashing" "IIold moment"
interposed Zed, putting forth an arm as long as a
rails 81 know christian cannot fight; but remem-
ber belong to denomination who believe in fall
ing from grace; and" continued the new convert,
planting his right foot more firmly on the earth, and
towering up like giant in the moonlight with his
arm falling back to an angle of forty-iive degrees
-"if | should fall from grace"-here he lowered
his voice to an ominous solemnity, and advanced
three PAGES towards his rereatng assailants-"If
should fall from grace lroe be unto you i" The
scamps overawed by doubt of ST the saints perse-
verance" decamped with precipitation, leaving Zed,
as Appollyon left Christian, to 60 on his way re-
oicing.

HYDROpATHY.

Mr., EDITOR: AS discovery and innovation are
strlklngly characteristic OF our age, it will not so
much excite the wonder of your readers to learn
that diseases Of the human system are now often
cured, merely by the various applications of water
used both internally and externally This discov-
ery-at least, in the present mode Of applying wa
ter-was made nearly % years ago, by Vincent
Pressnltz, a peasant, and native of a small colony,
called GWefenborg situated about half way up one
of the mountains of the Sudatcs in Austrian ST.
lcsa, Germany. HIS discovery was at first the re-
suit Of accident. Having crushed one Of his fin
gers he says he almost lnstnCtively plunged the
injured part into water until it ceased bleeding
lie felt the GOODNESS agreeable, and found that by
repeatedly holding it in water it healed in short
tlmc without the least inflammation or suppuraton.
After trying the effects of water upon himself a few
times, he soon had opportunities of witnessing its
efficacy upon his neghbors and kinsloks, until he
finally adopted all the various modes Of applying
water to the human system, In this way he gain.

date neighbours which gradually spread, until his
house began to be trequented by considerable num-
bers of sick persons from adjoining parts. The
number of his patients increased SloOiy for few
years, as in 1929 it was only 49, In 1910, it was
1876. Between 1882, and 1879, he treated $500
patients; and, of this number, we are informed, he
lost but 36-being less than one in 200. This will
appear the more remarkable when it is known, as
is the fact that large proportion of his patients go
to HIM as derher resort, and with diseases mat
had wlth3tood every other mode OF treatment, and
in many instances for great length of time.

THE BUTTING BUCK.

GAME TO THE LAsT.-A friend recently related
to us the following. Being at the house Of a
ncighbor short time since, the company conc uded
to amuse themselves by telling yarns. After sew.
cral pretty tough stories had been told Joe b. was
called upon, when with great gravity, he related
the following:
1.-TWO years ago last pullin'- fodder time, uncle
Josh b, had buck that was sort O. bro't up in the
lot and about the house, and the boys had by tool

could kick-an butt he would at everything that
came in his way, until it seemed as if he would bHt
everything off the lot So uncle Josh concluded
to see if he couldn nit give him his fill of bltting
He takes big hickory maui, and hangs it pretty
well up in an OAK tree, letting it hang lust low
nough for the buck to take fair crack at it, Uncle
Josh waited till the buck came round 10 where the
maui hung, when, giving it swing towards the
buck, he came at 1t with a bull that would have
knocked down bull. Away flew maui and bach
bounded the buck for another lick. $50 it, my
good fellow - sings out uncle Josh "f you car

motion OF the maui, as it commenced its return

here comes buck and maui again, with nearly the
same result as before, except that the blow did moi
seem quite so heavy on the part of the buck. "a
him again, my hard head" sings out uncle Josh
stake your fill of butting.' And at him again, the
little fellow went, and kept up the butlng to the
astonishment of uncle Josh, who, as it was getting
near night and the buck showing no signs of Civ.

ANEcDoTE,- old parson Roberts, formerly
of b., had sometimes the presumption to preach
without notes; and being a duh man, his spirit,
which he however, mistook for a very different one,
did not always supply him with matter On one Of
these occasions he put his tongue out for the space
of several minutes to the great wonderment of all
the congregation. Being asked by his deacon af
ter the service, what in the world made him run out
his tongue SO, he replied, "why, to be honest sir,
had nothing else to put out."-BoSton .HSceiiany.
