20 among the most eminent, and 10y no
mcans the least witty, Of the Congregational
clergymcn of the last generation in this vi
cuity was the Rev. Calvin Chaplin, ID. D.
The following nuccdotc Of him has been in

The stage started at four o'clock in the morn

stage but one were, Congregational clergy

Of, aud have satisfied myself that prayer is

IL Is not In human nature 10 stand this kind
Of thing, so the servant gets hardened al last,
or wihully careless. She receives no praise,
any way, and therefore tries TO get none. A
servant, generally speaking, whose feelings
are appreciated by her mistress, who is prais-

and patiently instructed to correct that which
is not well who Is treated TO sympathetic
and considerate words, and INDUCED In that
liberty which is absolutely essential to Her

relations like these that attachments are
formed which are as tender as humanity and
as lasting as life.
There is a broad view in which this and all
kindred matters are to be regarded, The
mistress is quite as dependent upon the ser
want as the servant upon the mistress. She
renders an equivalent for what you give her
and hoNseryice is as essential 10 you as your
money is to her, You cannot get along with
out her, nor can she get along without you.
Your position, TO be sure, is superior to hers,
but she owes you nothing, save faithful ser
vice and respect The obligations are not all
upon one side. 1t is just as much your duty
to be a kind mistress and friend TO her, as il
is her duty to give faithful service and re-
spectfh treatment to you. If, therefore, you
fail in your duty, you must not blame her for
failing in hers, have never yet seen good

Unfortunately the young ladys father entered
his protest against this pleasant arrangement,
and accordingly the young couple put off
the happy day indefinitely. About year
afterwards she received most tempting pro-
posal, which, urged by her father, she accept
ed, and To the eternal despair Of poor Robert
was married. But alas for the poor bride

months, when he proposed. To his horror,
she informed him that she was already en-
gagged and that in three months more her
second marriage would be consummated.
Two years passed. In the meantime the
widow and her husband removed to Syracuse,

hallucination followed them. That season
the cholera swept that city, and among its
victims was the second husband. Robert
allowed year to pass, and was on the point
of urging his claims, when he received al
invitation to her wedding She was to be
married TO her late husbands partner

him that her preseut step was NO
one of love, but purely of necessity. Th'
partnership affairs of her late lamented wer'

and to save immense losses she had deter

She assured him also, that her sentiment
