GOOD ANECDOTE.

One of the comic papers revives an old
story that is better now than it was before
these days of spirit seeing and hearing. 1t
seems that an old sea captain, who had re-
tired from service and was living on n farm,
had a wild harumscarum nephew living
with him. Ho could not drive or frighten
said nephew 10 do anything in lis proper
time. Among other things he could never
get him to drive up the cows TO be MIXED
before dark-he had 10 drive them up from
the back pasture through sugar BUSH
Finally, the old captain asked the lad whe,h-
er he was not afraid 10 go through the woods
in the dark.
"Fraid What is that never seen a
fraid, +" replied the boy,
"WeI, never mind, my lad; you will see
one some of these nights if you do not
bring the cows in before dark" said the
captain meaningy.
That night the boy played until dusk be.
foro he wen, for tho cows as usual. The
captain took sheet and followed him -
Now the captain had tame monkey, who
saw the performance, and monkey.liko,
took table cloth, and followed the captain
at respectful distance. The captain went
into the middle of the woods where there
was big log by tho side of the path Go
ing 10 the further end OF it, he wound his
sheet around him, got upon it and stood
still. The monkey got on the first end with
out noise, and did the same. So the parties
stood when the boy came whistling along
with his cows. They SHE'D little at see
ing the ghost, which caused the little boy tc
look ahead.
"lleIlo, what is thatp he shouted; "b,
gelly guess its alraidw and then spying
the monkey, he sung out, "by Jerusalem, i
there amt two fraids--a big fraid and lit
tie fraidw
This caused the captain 10 look arounc
when he saw, for the first time his ghoslly
companion. He thought he was a fraid
sure enough. The old captain streaked
for home, the monkey chasing him, AM
the wicked nephew clapping hands ant
shouting, 'Run, big fraid, or little iraid'l

THE USES OF HOME.

Where lie the cleares, proofs OF heavenly
wa,chfulness over our heads, il not in the
shelters where we lay those heads at night!
Consider what securities home affections
bind about tempted virtue; how the man of
business carries zone Of moral purity wo-
ven about him by the caresses of children,
from his house TO his market.pace; how the
false and fraudulent purpose, half conceived
in the countipg-room, is rebuked and put to
shame by the innocence that gazes into his
eyes aud clings about his neck when he
goes home and shuts the door on the world
at night. Consider what h,ndrance house,

disposition triple shield ii holds up
against the sins of prodigality, indulgence,
or dlshonor! Consider that, with most of
us, whatever impulse Of generosity visit the

holy vows Of religious consideration we
pledge, whatever aspiring resolves we form,
are apt TO spring up within the sacred en-
closures OF the housel Consider how the
