THE POWER or SILENCE.


A good woman in New Jersey was sadly
annoyed by termagent neighbor, who often,
visited her and provoked a quarrel. She at
length ght the counsel of her pastor, who
added sound common sense to his other good
qualities. Having heard the story of her
wrongs, lie ad. ised her to seat herself quiet
ly in the CHI imney-coner when next visited,
take the tongs in her hand, look steadily in
the fire, and whenever hard word came
from her lips, gently snap tn, tongs, without
ut tering word.
A day or two afterwards, the good woman
came again to her pastor with bright and
laughing face, to communicate the effects Of
this new antidote for scolding. Her troubler
had visited her, and, as usual, commented
her TRADE. Snap, went the tongs. Another
vollcy. Snap. Another still. Snap. "Why
don't you speak - said the termagent, more
enraged. tSnap., "Speak" sid she, (sn,p.)
"Do speak shall split ifyou don't speak
And away she went, cured of her nal,dy by
the mage power of silence

COULDN'T. cos HE SUNG SO


Leaning idly over fence few DAYS since,

watching the fiolicsome flight Of birds which

HOW TO MAKE 4 coon STUDENT.


Many years since, when the late Lieuten-
ant Governor Phillips, Of Andoyer, Mass,
was student at Harvard college, owing to
some boyish freak, he left the University, and
went home. His father was very grave
man, of sound mind and fev words He in
quired into the business, bat deferred ex-
pressing any opinion until the next day. AT
breakfast he said, speaking to his wife,
"My dear, have you any cloth in the house
suitable to make Sam froek and trowsers %
She replied EYES"
'sWeli," said the old gentleman, "follow
me, my son."
Samuel kept pace with hir father, as he
leisurely walked near the Common, and at
length ventnred TO ask,
"What are you going TO Do with me, faith
or :"
81 am going to bind you an apprentice to
that blacksmith replied Mr.. Philips
"Take your choice return to college, or you
must work" III.
He did return, confessed his fault, was a
good scholar, and become useful and ex-
cellent citizen. If all parents were like Mr..
Phillips, the students at our colleges would
prove better students, or the nation woul d
have more plentiful supply Of blacksmiths.

his hands are cool, his face not flush, possibly
a shade paler than usual. This solitary syuip-
tom may last few days, with no matersl in
crease or abatement, and without attracting
any notice suddenly, however, the disease
hitherto latent, bursts forth in all its fatal fury,
and too often continues its ravages unchecked,
to the dreadful consummation. The remc-
dies for this symptom Of Group are simple,
and in most instances perfectly efficient
