FATHER MOODY AND THE TURKEY

The drawer is indebted to a Pittsburgh cor
respondent for the following capital anecdote of
Father Moody. who was born at Newbury, 1873,
graduated at Harvard College in 1898, settled
at York. Maine, 100, and died at seyenty-two
years of age, in l74S
Come. Charles, my son." said Deacon Ais
worth, "takc one of these turkeys and carry it
up to Minister Moody for Thanksgiving" "No,
father, don't do that again. | tell YOU" "What
do l hear now, Charles? These five and twen-
ty years | have sent the minister a turkey, and
Joe has carried them, and Tom and Jerry and
YOU, without ever refusing before. What's the
matter now ?" "Why. father, he never thanks
me for bringing it to him. Besides, he took me
to task, awhile ago, because l started out of
meeting too soon." "Well, son, YOU know it is
the custom for the minister to go out before any
of the congregation starts; this is done as
mark of respect" Respect or not, he's nothing
but man; and as for creeping for him, won't
do it, "Well, let it all pass, and carry him the
turkey, and if he don't thank YOU for it will"
Charles shouldered the fowl and in a short time
was at the minister's house. The minister was
surrounded by number of his friends, who had
come to spend Thanksgiving with him. The
lad entered without knocking, and bringing the
turkey from his shoulder heavily upon the table,
sad-"Mr. Moody, there's a turkey for you.-
IL va want IT. NOu lidNt II IL NOu uOH u
I'll carry it back again" IL shall be very glad
of it," said the minister, "but think you might
learn little manners, Charles. Can't you do
an errand better?" "llow would YOU have me
do it ?" asked Charles "Sit down in my chair, -
said the clergyman, land l will show you how. "
Charles took the chair, while the divine took
the turkey and left the room. He soon return
ed, took off his hat, made very low bow, and
said-"Mr. Moody, here is turkey which my
father sends to you and wishes you to accept as
present" Charles rose from his seat, took
the fowl, and said to the minster-"lt is very
fine one, and feel very grateful to your father
for it. In this and many other instances he has
contributed to my happiness, fyou just carry
it into the kitchen and return again, | will send
for Mrs Moody to give you half dollar" The
good old clergyman walked out of the room
his friends laughed at the joke, and made up a
purse for the lad who ever afterward received
reward for his services.-Haper's Magazine.

HOW THE CABLE WAS RECEIVED
UNDER WATER.

school Of mackerel got dismissed
To ponder this new study;
The aiewves paused amid their drink,
And thought their heads were muddy;
The HOLSTERS turned, in sudden fears,
As red as when they're boiled;
The whales shed spermaceti tears
Till all the sea was oiled.
The frightened soles together came
In one substantial body;
Each cod looked bluer than blue pills,
Or Waren's pillicoddy;
The great sea-scrpcnt wondering asked,
"Whats all this stir and coil!'
The eels giant brother knew,
And stopped to see him broil.
The black fish turned little pale,
A. big as ships Jolly boat)
And rembled all, from head to tail,
The melnncholly hulibut;
The oysters got up from their beds,
With rather sleepy faces;
The places tapped their startled fins,
And went to other places
But when the first brief message went
Through the wide watcry bounds,
To dumti,h straightway were transformed
The oceans tongues and sounds,
Till (whe old hunkers of the deep
Were wondering and gupug)
Young swordfsh sent by telegraph
\ challenge to young sculplng.
And when they understood the thing
The watery inn grew better,
The seals desired To stamp themselves
On every passing letter;
The grave white bears came swimming down
To inquire for Doctor Kane.
While the frightened herrngs only asked,
What tidings from the Scincs

THE BLUE-BELLs OF NEW ENGLAND.

ny r. II. ALDRICH
The roses are n regal troop,
And humble folks the daises;
But Blue-bclls q New England,
To you give my praises;
To YOU, fair phantoms in tie sun,
Whom merry Spring discovers,
With bue-6irds for your laureates,
And honey bees for lovers.
The south wind breathes, and lol We throng
This rugged laAd Of ours;
Alethnks the pale blue clouds of May
Drop down and turn to flowers.
BY cottage doors, along the road,
You show your winsome faces,
And. like the spectre lady, haunt
The lonely woodland places!
All night your eyes are closed in sleep,
But open at the dawnng.
Such simple fith as yours can see
Gods coming in the morning.
You lea me- by your holiness,
To pleasant ways of duty;
You set my thoughts to melody,
You ill me with your beauty.
And you are like the eyes love,
So modest and so tender,
just touched with morning glorious light,
And evenings gentle splendor,
Long may the heavens give you rain,
The sunshine its caresses,
Long may the little girl love
Eutwine you in her tresses!

LIQUID GLUE-A strong liquid glue, that
will keep for years without changing, may be
made by placing in glazed vessel quart of
water and about three pounds of hard glue
This is to be melted over gentle fire in a glue
pot, and stirred up occasionally. When all the
glue is melted drop in gradually small guam
tty of nitric acid, when effervescence will grad
ualy take place. The vessel is then to be TAX
en- off the fire and allowed to cool. Liquid glue
made in this manner, has been kept for more
than two years in an uncorked bottle without
any change. 1t will be useful for many trades,
where a strong glue is required without the
trouble of melting.

There was an intense excitement in the city
of St. Paul, last week. A strange woman and
six children arrived on one of the steamers, and
by dint of inquiry the woman found out where
Mr.. Edwin Whitfield lived, whose house she
visited and soon became the undisputed posses
sor. Mr.. w. and the woman he lived with as
his wife fed in confusion before the wrath of the
new conner, and have not been heard of. The
strange woman turned out to be the wife of
Whitefld, whom he had deserted four years ago,
and the six children were his own.
