Ask no woman her age. BE civil to all rich
uncles and aunts. Mover joke with po-

COMMON MERc1Es.-A minister was once
speaking to brother clergyman of his graf
itude for merciful deliverance he had just
experienced.
"As I was riding here today" said he,
"my horse stumbled and came very near
throwing me from bridge, where the fall
would have killed ME, but I escaped un-
hurt"

said the other. GAS I rode here to-day, my
horse did not stumble at ALL"

THEOLOGICAL DIFFERENCEs.-Dr. Stu
art was rather fond of controversy. A fa-
vorite topic with him was the true nature of
saving faith, on which subject he regarded
DR.. Chalmers as in error. They met in the
streets of Edinburg, and entered into warm
controversy; street after street, and square
after square were passed, and at length the
disputants parted Dr. Chalmers taking DR..
Stuart by the hand and saying: off you wish
to see my views stated clearly and distinctly,
read tract called Uindrnnr.s fo BcIicrc5s
ofMe Gopef." "Why," said Dr. Stuart,
"that is the very tract published myself"
DR.. Chalmers used often to describe this
scene as proof that many may think they
differ when they really agree.

RAIN,

RAIN.
"Bless God for rain" the good man said,
: And wiped away pearly tear;
"That we may have our daily bread,
"He drops his showers upon US here;
"Our Father, thou who dwell't in heaven,
'We thank thee for the pearly shower;
"The blessed present thou hast given -,
'sTo man and beast and bird and flower"
The dusty earth, with lips apart,
Looked up where rolled an orb Of flame,
AS though prayer came from its heart
For rain to come, and 10! it came.
The Indian corn, with silken plume,
And flowers with tiny pitchers filPd,
Send up their praise of rich perfume,
For precious drops the clouds distilia'
The modest grass is fresh and green,
The brooklet swells its song again;
Mcthinks an angels wing is seen
In every cloud that brings US rain;
There is rainbow in the sky,
Upon the arch where tempest trod,
God wrote it e'er the world was dry
1t is the autograph Of God.

hp A Pickpocket Detector has been in
vented down East. 1t consists externally
of case, resembling that of watch in size
and shape. 1t has fob chain or string,
and is worn in the pocket like watch
Within the case is bell and spring hammer
the latter connected with the fob chain
The supposition is, that the thief will sup,
pose the fob chain to be attached to a bona
fide watch, and will accordingly pull the
chain in order to obtain the prize. But in,
stead of getting the watch, the watch gets
him. The pull sounds the alarm bell, the
owner of the watch grabs the rogue and the
police conducts him to limbo.
