CHEATING THE DEvIL.-Squire H. living
in the town of A, was q man in easy circum-
stances, with everything enough, in door and
out. In his yard was a huge pile of wood
sawed and split, and sufficient to keep dozen
families through the winter, with enough more
where that came from.
Across the street from Squire H, lived
Mrs. w, apoor widow woman, in straighten-
ed circumstances, with four little mouths to
feed and four little bodies to warm besides her
own.
Squire H, dotted on his big wood pile, and
was in the habit of taking peep at it through
the closed blinds of his window before retir-
ing at night. One night he saw female hang
ing around the pile, and opening the door par
tally to get better view, her stoop, pick
up a large armful, and start off. She had not
proceeded far, however, when she stopped
short, and he overheard the following; ssI
cannot steal-the eye of God is upon me-"
ard down went the wood and she walked off
a few steps and stopped again; s:I have not a
stick of wood in the house, the weather is
bitter cold and my poor children are freezing.
The Squire has enough and will never miss it.''
So saving she filled her arms again with the
much coveted fuel.
Again she started and again hesitated,
ssWhat! Steal? / never did such a thing,
and God forbid that should do it now!'' and
down went the wood again. But the thought
of her suffering brood brought her once more
to the pile, and filled her arms the third time
with wood. Once more she started and again
turned back-:sI will not steal-I will trust in
God and if it is His will, We'll perish tOgeth-
er." So saying she threw down the wood
upon the pile, and the Squire saw her enter
her dwelling and close the door. He retired
to bed, but slumber was slow in visiting his
eyelids. He thought of the poor widow and
her suffering children, and perhaps when he
slept he dreamed of them.
Early the next morning, Widow W, was
surprised to see the Squire's four ox-team,
loaded with wood, haul up in front of her
dwelling and the Squire commence pitching
it off.
ssWhat's this Squire H" said the aston
| ished and half frightened woman ssI didn't
order that wood, and God knows L can't pay
for it,
ssIt's yours, and all paid for, Ma'am 20 sung
out the Squire, tugging away at big log
| ssYou cheated the Devil last night.''
The poor woman insisted that there must be
| some mistake about it.
ssI tell you it's yours, for cheating the Devil
last night" said the Squire, ssand there comes
a man to saw it up, split it, and pack it away
| in your wood house,
The widow began to essmell rat," and
| stamDe Dering her thanks to the Squire, retreat
ed into the house. She wanted for no more
wood that winter.

TOUCHING INCIDENT.-A little boy had died.
His body was laid out in darkened room,
waiting to be laid in the cold, lone grave. His
afflicted mother and bereaved little sister went
in to look at the sweet face of the precious
sleeper, for his face was beautiful even in
death. As they stood gazing on the face of
beloved and cherished, the little girl
asked TO shake his hand. The mother at first
did not think it best. but the child repeated
the request, and seemed very anxious about it;
she took the cold bloodless hand of her sleep
ing boy and placed it in the hand of his weep
ing sister. The dear child looked at it a mo-
ment. caressed it fondly, and then looked up
to her mother through tears and love, and said
s'Mother this hand never struck me-" What
could have been more touching and lovely7

HAPPY ARE WE.

Happy are we tonight, friends
Happy, happy are We,
The hearts that we delight friends,
With us may happy be.
Friends should laugh with those who laugh,
And sigh for those in pain.
The most of us have met before,
And now we meet again.
Many's, many's the mile, friends
Many, many the wild,
That we should rove and smile, friends,
With hearts We meier beguile.
Voices we have often heard,
And faces we have met,
In tones of sweetest melody,
We never can forget.
Weary we may return. friends
Weary, weary at last
What memory VIC learn, friends,
To love the happy Past.
Age may bring us gloomy hours,
And Time may make US sad,
But we, tonight. are free from care,
And all our hearts are glad
