knew the frailty of some of the weak sis
tiers, as Aunt Lizzy called them, and as he
was particular friend Of Squire p, re-
quested him in his note to say nothing to
his wife of it. But the Squire took the
hint, and telling his wife that there was a
parish meeting request her to be ready at
2 o'clock, and Inc would call for her.
Accordingly the hour of meeting came
the whole village focked to the room, which
could not hold half of them. All eyes
were alternately turned on the Squire and
Susey. Mrs. p. started, and Suscy looked
as though she had been crying fortnight.
The Parson, with softened tone and in as
story about Susy b., which he observed was
in everybody's mouth, and which he did
not believe a word of, and Squire p, being
called on to stand as a witness, after paint
ing in lively colors the evils of slander with
which the village had been infested, and par
ticularly the church, called on Aunt Lizzy,
in presence of the meeting and before the
church, to come out and make acknowledg-
ment for violating Bible oath. Aunt
Lizzy's apology was. that she only told
Deacon Snipe's wife ont, and she took
an oath that she wouldn't never tell nobody
ont. Deacon Snipe's wife had it appears,
sworn Roger Toothakcr's sister never to tell
nothing on't-and SO it went through the
whole church, and thence the village.
The Squire then acknowledged before the
whole meeting that he mad. as he told Aunt
Lizzy, slept with a church member hall
the way up to Boston, and that he believed
her to be one of the likeliest of their mem
bers, inasmuch as she would never hear OF
retail slandcr All eyes were now alter
nately on Susey b, and Squire P's wife,
Aunt Lizzy enjoyed a kind of diabolical
triumph, which the Squire no sooner per-
ceived, than lie finished the sentence, by de-
claring that the church member to whom
he alluded acas his oscn iawfM qc;fc
Aunt Lizzy drew her head under. huge
bonnet, as turtle does under his shell, and
marched away into one corner of the room,
like dog that had been killing sheep
The Squire, as usual, burst into fit OF
laughter, in which his wife, Susey b., and
even the parson could not refrain from Join
ing-and Parson p afterward ackrfowiedc-
ed that Squire p. had given death blow
to scandal in the village which all preach
ing could not have done.

To THE GIRLS. Here is paragraph of
plain talk to the girls, by an anonymous
author, which is worth library to Young
Ladies' Friends, or whatever may be the
title of the wishy-washy compounds that
are sold for the benefit of that interesting
portion Of the community:
Men who are worth having want women
for wives. A bundle of gewgaws bound
with string of fats and quavers, sprink-
led with cologne and set in carmine sau-
cisse-this is no help for man who expects
to raise family, no veritable bread and
meat. The piano and lace frame are good
in their places, and SO are ribbons, trills
and tinscls but You cannot make dinner
of the former, nor bed blanket of the lat
ter. And, awful as the idea may seem to
you, both dinners and bed blankets are es-
sential to domestic happiness. Life has its
realities as well as fancies but you may
make it matter of decoration, remember
ing the tasSal cur tain but forgetting the bed
stead. Snpposing man Of good sense,
and, of course, good prospects, to be look
ing for wiie--what chance have you to be
chosen? You may cap him, or You iuay i;'
trap him. but how much better to make it
an object for him to catch you. Render
yourself worth catching. and you will need
no shrewd mother or brother to help you to
find a market.

A Prayer.

A Prayer.
Father, have wandered far
Oh, be now my guiding star.
Draw my footsteps back to Thee,
Set my struggling spirit free
Save me from the doubts that roll
Der the chaos Of my soul
Let one ray of truth illume
And dispel the thickening gloom
God of truth and peace and love,
Hear my prayer
Draw my restless thoughts above
Keep them there!
Father, save me at this hour.
From the tempter's fearful power
Purify the hidden springs
of my wild imagining
l have thought till thought is pain.
Searched for Peace, till search is vain
Out Of thee l cannot find

DyrsG.-Bcnjamin F. Taylor, of the Chi

picture in reference to the certain departure
for that undiscovered country: -
There isa dignity about that going away
alone, which we call dy;ng--that wrapping
Of the mantle of Immortality about us ; that
putting aside with pale hand the azure
curtains that arc drawn around this cradle
of a world; that venturing away from home
for the first time in our lives, for we are
dead; there is nothing dead to speak of,
and seeing foreign countries not laid down
on any maps we know about. There must
be lovely lands somewhere starward, fol
none ever return that go hither and we

of Plato are preserved, which reflect honor
on his moral character. Having raised his
hand to correct servant when in anger, he
kept his arm fixed in that position for a
considerable time. To a friend coming in
and inquiring his reason for such singular
conduct he replied
:" / am furnishing passionate man ]"
At another time he said to one of his
slaves. " would chastise you i were

The SINGING STUDENT Boy.-NIany years
aSoa student boy was seen in the streets of
an ancient town, singing. He was a stout,
plainly dressed boy, but his face was pale
and his eyes were sad and fearful His
voice was most musical and the songs he
sung were beautiful words, and about sa-
cred things. Every time he finished song
he stepped to Il house and gave gentle tap.
When it was opened, he said in gentle
tones:
Please give poor student boy NOR
sci of bread.
child was the tough reply that met his
car as the poor child shrank from the steps
Thus driven from door to door, he sang
his sweet songs until his body was weary
and his heart was sad. Scarcely able to
stand, he at last turned his steps homeward.
Striking his noble forehead with his hand,
he said
must go home to my fathers house and
he content to live by the sweat of my brow
Providence has no loftier destiny for me- l
have troddcn out its paths by aiming
higher.
just at this moment Ursula Gotta, a bur-
gher's wife, who had heard his songs and
seen him driven from neighbours door,
felt her heart yearn with pity toward a
helpless boy. She opened her door, beck
oned to the youngster smiled swectly upon
him, and in tones that sounded like heaven
ly melodies to his ears, said:
Come in poor boy, and refresh thyself at
my table
Happy little singer! how he enjoyed
that delicious meal And when the good
dame and her husband told him to make
their house his home, his heart melted
With eyes half blinded with tears, he look
ed in the face of his friend and said
shall now pursue my studies without
being obliged to beg my bread from grudg-
ing hands. l shall have you, sir, for a
father, and you, sweet Ursula for a
mother. My heart will once more learn to
love. shall be happier than 1 can ex-
press.
After that the singing boy studied hard
and well. Years afterward the world heard
of him, for it was he who uttered his voice
againt Popery, and became the chief of that
reformation which gave an open Bible to the
world. His name was Martin Luther

lnnumerable proofs arc shown that these Ihc

preccdcntedly upon esteem Of all men. Tins
are safe and pleasant to take, but powerful to
cure. Their penetrating properties stimulate
the vital activities Of the body remove the ODE
structions of its organs, purify the blood, and
expel disease. They purge out fhe foul hui
mors which breed and grow distempcr, slim
ulatc sluggish or disordered organs into their
natural action, and impart healthy tone with
strength to the whole system. Not only do
they cure the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous dis
eases that have batiled the best of human skill.
While they produce powerful effects, they are
at the same time, in diminished doses, the
safest and best physic that can be employed
for children. Being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take and being purely vegetable
are free from any risk Of harm. Cures have
been made which surpass belief were they not
substantiated by men of such exalted position

SCIENCE OF MILKING Cows.-1t is
a matter ofgrcat importance that the
milk should all be drawn from the COW $
udder. Careful experiments made in
England show, according to a report
recently published, that "the quantity of
cream obtained from the last quart ex-
cceds that of the first in proportion OF
twelve to one. Thus person who
carclcssly leaves but teacup full Of milk
undrawn, loses in reality about as much
cream as would be afforded by four or
six pints at the beginning; and loses, too
that part of the cream which gives the
richness and high favor to the bat
ter.
