What did he preach about 2"

QUARREL1Nc-If anything in the world
will make man feel badly, except pinch
ing his fingers in the crack Of door, it is
unques,ionabIy quarrel. No man ever
fails to think less of himself after, than he
did before; it degrades him in the eyes of
others, and. what is worse, blunts his sensl-
biIities on the one hand, and increases the
POWER and passionate irritability on the
other. The truth is, the more peaceaby
and quietly we get on the better for our
neighbors. In nine cases out of ten, the
better course is, if man cheats you to quit
dealing with him; if he is abusive, quit his
company if he ISLANDERS you, take care to
live so that nobody will believe him. No
matter who he is, or how he misuses you,
the wisest way is to let him alone; for there
is nothing better than this cool, calm and
quiet way Of dealing with the wrongs We
meet with.

years ago a lady noticing neighbor who
was bot in her seat at church OH Sabbath,
and on her return home to inquire what
should detain so punctual an attendant on
entering the house she found the family
busy at work She was surprised when her
friend addressed her with:
"Why, la! where have you been today,
dressed up in your Sunday clothes"
"To meeting"
"What day is it ?"
"Sabbath day"
"Sal, stop washing in minute! Sabbath
day! Well did not know, for my husband
has got SO plagued stingy he won't take the
paper, and we know nothing Well, who
preached! Z"
"Mr. B."
"What did he preach about?"
{" 1t was on the death of our Saviour"
"Why, is he dead! Well, all Boston
might be dead, and we know nothing about
it! 1t won't do, we must have the news
paper again; for everything gees wrong
without the paper. Bill has almost lost his
reading, and Polly has got quite mopish
again, because she has no poetry or stories
TO read. WE'LL if we have to take cart
load of onions and potatoes to market, I'm
resolved to have newspaper"
