Mr.. Pelew now hit upon an expedient

MIR. Pelew now hit upon an eypedient
to bring matters to close at once He
invited all such Of his and his wife's rela-
tives, his neighbors, his creditors, &c., as
were within his reach to meet at his
house on business Of the utmost impor
tance. About twenty assembled, among
them Miss Cav and half dozen of the
principal mouth-peces in the village.
He then stated TO them his business -
recounted the stories he had heard--tra-
ced them all down 10 their origin, and de-
manded of Miss Polly her reasons for
the report she had raiaed. Cornered so
unexpectedly and suddenly she candidly
confessed that The only foundation for
what she had said was, that on the after
noon she had paid the visit first mention
ed, she had heard as she entered, Mrs.
Pelew say "Well. sir l can take care of
myself" And she wished to know if
Julia Pellow would deny This. Julia re-
piled she would not--she had barbecued
pan vi uhO ldt Nkudllo IUl utT IluSDdIuS
supper, and had been helping him to a
choice bit-he had pressed her to keep it
herself, saying she was too kind and she
did on the occasion, utter the offensive
words, swell, sir, can take care Of
myself" ...,, .-. F.
A burst of astonishment succeeded,
Miss Cav ran out of the room like a
woman who had lost her senses. The
worthy couple received the congratula'
,ions of all the honest people present
and though the knaves pretended to be
mighty glad the truth had come out, il
was with grace that but half concealed
their sorrow. Thereafter, not a sylciple
was ever lisped about the before much
talked of separation. . .f, ,
But thus it is, gentle reader, that one
half Of tea-table stories originate and
who would think there were, still, a
as many ready to believe them and trum
pet Them about, as there were in Alesbur,
in Polly Crews time. .. .. 49,

PRAYER. A man cannot be a true be-
lever, child Of Christ, unless he be a
man of prayer, For what the breath is
to the body, prayer is to the soul. If the
breath grasp and be faint, the body grows
out Of order and if prayer be slack and
unfrequent, the soul becomes diseased.
II breath ceases life is at an end and if
prayer ceases, all hope for. the soul per-
ishes. AS soon as we give over COM
muDing with God, Satan enters in, and
begins to commune with us. Man can
never walk alone; if he choose notthe
better part to walk with his God, he must
choose to walk with Gods adversary and
his own. That man would be but per-
suaded, Prayer is mans best work!'

FLowERs.-What are more beautiful
than flowers! are they not the emblem Of
loveliness and innocence, the living ty es
Of all that is pleasing and graceful ! We
compare young lips to the rose, and the
white brow TO the radiant lily. The
winning eye gathers its glow from the
violet, and sweet voice like breeze
kissing its way through flowers We
hang delicate blossoms on the silken ring
lets Of the young bride, we place them
around the marble faces of the dead in
the narrow coffin, and they become sym.
bols of our affections, pleasures remem
bered and hopes faded, wishes flown, and
scenes cherished, the more that they can
never return. How many thoughts both
painful and joyous are linked with the
beautiful flowers. -New Yorker.

WORDS OF CONSOLATION TO THE Be-
REAvED.-Dr. Judson once wrote to a
friend in the hour Of trial: " So the light
of your dwelling has gone out my poor
brother, and it is all darkness there, only
as you draw down, by faith, some faint
CLEANS of the light of heaven, and cold
ness has gathered round your hearth
stone; your home is probably desola,e,
your children scattered, and you home
less wanderer over the face of the land.
We have both tasted of those bitter cups,
once and again we have found them Bit
ter, and we have found them sweet too.
Every cup, stirred by the finger of God,
becomes sweet 10 the humble believer.
Do you remember how our late wives
and others used to cluster round the well
curb in the mission premises, at the close
of the day? I can almost see them sit
ting there, with their smiling faces, as
look out of the window, at which | am
now writing. Where are ours now
Clust ering around the we'll curb of the
fountain Of living water, to which the
lamb of Heaven shows them the way
reposing in the arms of infinite Love,
who wipes away all their tears with his
own hand. Let us travel on and look up.
We shall soon be there. AS sure as |
write, and you read these lines, we shall
soon be there. Many weary step we
may yet have to take, but we shall gel
there at last. And the longer and more
tedious the way, the sweeter will be our
repose." s...,....,....-. ..... ..

MONEY NOT AN EvIE.--It is quite COM
mon to hear even well educated people
quote the Bible as saying, money is the
root of all evil The Bible says nothing
Of the kind; the quotation is, tile love
Of money is the root of all evil q Money
is the means cf procuring the necessaries
and conveniences Of life, but the love of
it as an end, instead Of the means, is as
silly as the tulip-mania af Holland few
hundred years ago. tGive me neither
poverty nor riches,' is another Bible text,
and contains the true philosophy of the
whole matter. 'N s'' #

A Hint to the Disseminated.

ALI human situations have their incon-
veniences. We feel those that we find
in the present, and we neither feel nor
see those that exist in another. Hence
we often make troublesome changes
without amendment, and frequently for
the worse. In my youth I was a passeu-
ger in a little sloop descending the, Della
ware. There being no wind, we were
obliged, when the tide was spent, to cast
anchor and wait for the next. The heat
of the sun on the vessel was excessive,
the company strangers TO Eme, and not
very agreeable. Near the river side, i
saw what took to be pleasant green
meadow, in the middle Of which was 4
large shady tree, where, it struck my
fancy. could sit and read-haYing a
book in my pocket-and pass the time
agreeably until the tide turned. l, there
fore prevailed with the Captain 10 put me
ashore. Being landed, found the great
est part of my meadoy was really marsh
in crossing which, 10 come at my tree,
! was up to my knees in mire and | had
not placed myself under its shade FIVE
minutes before mosquitoes in swarins
found me out, attacked my legs, hands,
and face, and made my reading and my
rest impossible; SO that I returned TO the
beach and called for the boat 10 come and
take me on board again, where 7 was
obliged to bear the heat had striven to
quit and also the laugh Of the company.
Similar cases in affairs of life have since
fallen under my observation, ,--Eranklin.
