They lived ever within their means. Thrown
among strangers and treated with the re-
spect due to his merits and industry, he ma
turally wore the dignity that always stamps
noble mind. He gained popularity and
wealth with every passing year, and the
tenth year of his marriage, was elected to the
State Legislature; was the FIRST lawyerin the
county, possessed quite little fortune, sui.
ficient for all their wants; owned fine es-
tate on The shores Of the Cayuga. Two
children, Of nine and ten years of age, Frank
and Grace, added to their happiness.
Ten years from the time ofthe marriage
the two daughters, with their families, were
at home at Mr.. Sanders, spending a week.
Nelly was twenty-eight, as rosy and fresh
looking as on her wedding day, and as hap
py as a bird, with her two bright children,
and fine-looking husband. Mrs. Harlan was
not ashamed now of her brother-in-law, but
she was provoked at her own thin, sallow
face, by. the. side of Nelly's. No person
would think that one had been great beau
ty, and the other very plain. The express
sion of their countenances were as opposite
as their features; the one was cheerfulness
ness and happiness, the other regret sorrow
and unhappiness. Which was the happy
marriage? Emma's or Nelly's. ........ ..

"A Horse Anecdotes.

A Canadian friend of ours was telling us
the other day how he managed 10 break a
favorite horse of his of one trick, that Of
breaking his halter whenever he was fasten-
ed in the stable. Our friend placed the an
imal in question in a stable that stood ex-
'actly on the edge of a high bluff some thirty
feet above the St Lawrence. AS usual, so
soon as he was left alone, or pony broke
his halter, backed out of the stable door, and
as a necessary consequence, tumbled heels
over head into the river, disappearing below
the surface with the impetus and grayitation
of his fall. He was next seen swimming for
dear life and heading in shore. He landed
in a dripping condition, and was easily se-
cured. Doubtless he pondered grayely over
the lesson for ever afterward he never made
the slightest attempt to break his halter. -
The philosophy of dealing with horses, per-
haps, with nobler animals, is to fight them
with their own weapons, to let them be pun
ished by their own vices. If your pony has
trick of ofbacking, back him quarter of a
mile if he stops, tie him fast to the place
for from twelve to twenty four hours without
food or water, and he will be glad to obey
you when You next call on him. Atleast so
says our Canadian authority Advocate

i Knew She Would.

Deacon W. was staid and honest Bap-
tist deacon in one of the interior towns OF
this State, who had vein Of dry, caustic
humor in his composition. The deacon had
a boy of some dozen summers, who was in
clined to be little ugley when not under the
paternal eye. In school, especially, John
was a source of constant anneyancs to the
teacher. n@s| .
/ One day the mistress punished him for
some misdemaanor, and John went home cry
ing, and told his father that the mistress had
SHhipped him. 's'
"What!" exclaimed the deacon, elevatinc
Ehis eyebrows, ''been whipped?"
"Ya-a-s," sobbed John. t~@1 ..@4
"And did you let woman whip ye.''
Shouted the deacon. aa #
"fa-a-s. | couldn't help it."
swell, job, you little rascal, you go to
school tomorrow, and if Miss -- under
takes towhipye agin, you jest pitch in; don't
let woman whip we, if we can help it. Don't
take any stick to strike with, but we may
strike, scratch, bite and kick as much as
ye're mind to. .a" 20 .r
The next day John went to school, and.
emholdened by the permission given by his
father, was soon brought before the tribunal
of violated rules. The teacher undertook
to correct him, and he did as his father told
Ein. The result was that John got most
unmerciful trouncing and was thoroughly
subdued. When he went home, he went to
his father crying: 7t4.' ,'..
"Well, dad, got an awful bad lickin' to-
day" ~.a' 7s@@12 81. .a@
"What," said the OLD deacon, ibid you let
that woman whip ye agin? ''.
"Ya-a.s," whimpcred John, 81 kicked,
struck and fit her all l gould, but she lam
med me orfully."
"Ah ~ chuckled the humorous Old deacon,
'.you tarnal little fool, l knew she would !;
and she'll give ye trouncing every time she
undertakes it; so advise We to behave you,-
self in future"
John began to have some perception of
his fathers motive, and ever afterward he
was a sadder and wiser boy Aroostook

Marriage i'm G,ayl~ntl.

1t is death in Lapland to marry maid
without the consent of her parents and friends
When young man has formed an attach
ment fora female. the fashion is for the friends
to meet to behold the young parties run
race together. The maid is allowed, in start
ing, the advantage of one third part of the
race, so that it is impossible, except willing
ofherself, that she should be overtaken. If
the maid outrun her suitor, the matter is for
ever ended; he must never have her, it being
penal for the man to disregard this notion CT
marriage. But if the virgin has an affection
Tor him, though at first she runs fast to try
the truth ofhis love, she will, without Allan
ta's golden balls to retard her speed-prcteni
some casualty, and make voluntary halt
before she comes to the mark or the end of
the race. Thus none are compelled to marry
against their own wills and that is the cause
that in this poor country the married people
are richer in their own contentment than in
other lands, where so many feign love and
cause real unhappipess

Humility u Sign of Greatness.

believe the first test of a truly great man
is his humility. l do not mean by humility
doubt of his own power, or hesitation to
speak his opinion; but a right understand
ing of the relations between what he can say
and do, and the rest of the worlds sayings
and doings. All great men not only know
their business, but know usually that they
know it; and are not only right in their
main opinions, but they usually know that
they are right in them-only they do not
think much of themselves on that account.
Arnolfo knows that he can hHild good
dome at Florence; Albert Durer writes calm
ly to one who had found fault with his work,
at cannot be better doHe;' Sir Isaac New
ton knows that he has worked out a problem
or two that would have puzzled any one else
only .hey do not expect their fellow-men,
therefore, to fall down and worship them.-
They have a cmrious undersense of power
lessness, feeling that the greatness is not IN
them but through them; that they could not
be what they are unless God had made them
so. And they see something Divine and
God-made in every other man they meet
and are endlessly, foolishly, incredibly mer
ciful. The slightest manifestation of zeal
ousy or self-complacency is enough to mari
out second-rate character of intellect

They watched it gradually and slowly un-
coiling from the ground, and the string was
drawn higher. "
There was but one coil left. 1t had reach
ed the top. "Thank Godr' exclaimed the
wife. She hid her face in her hands in silent
prayer, and trembling rejoiced. The IRON to
which it should be fastened was there all
right-but would her husband be able to
make use of it? Would not the terror of the
past have SO unrferved him as to prevent him
from taking the necessary measures for safe
ty? She did not know the magical influ-
ence which her few words had exercised over
him. She did not know the strength that
the sound Of her voice, so calm and stead
fast, had filled him--as if the thread that
carried to him the hope of life once more had
conveyed to him some portion of that faith
in God, which nothing ever destroyed or
shook in her pure heart She did not know
that as she waited there, the words came
over him, why art thou cast down, o nv
soul, why art thou disquieted within me !?

God for hope and strength, but could do
nothing more for her husband, and her heart
turned to God. and rested on him as on s.

Thou hast saved my life, my Mary said
her husband, holding her in his arms.
But what ails you thou scemcst more

But Mary could not speak, and if the strong
arm of her husband had not held her up she
would have fallen to the ground sudden

And in their happy home they poured forth

her sisters temper as in the present CONVEX
sation, for she had her self quick temper,
but she was learning to control it. Emma
had always been favorlte with her parents,
still they were very kind to Nelly, and by no
means encouraged Emma in her ill l-treatment
to her sister. She loved Nelly, and little
thought how very harsh were her words.
The wedding-day came one bright May
morning. They were united, the true, the
loving hearted, for veal or for woe. Nelly in
her brown silk, lace collars, and few Jew
els, was becoming bride. Tears were on
her cheek, but no wor,ls were on his lips, as
she gave sister, mother and father the fare
well kiss. She had been loving daughter,
she would be a good wife. They left the
scenes of their early years to seek home
and fortune in neighboring State.y
