What He Meant.

A missionary among tribe of Northern In
dams was wont to set sotffe simple refreshment
fruit and cider, before his converts when they
came from distance to see him. An old man
who had no pretensons to being Christian, de-
sired much to be admitted to the refreshments
and proposed to some Of his converted friends
to accompany them OH their next visit to the
missionary.
They told him lie must be a Christian first
Christian? said he; what is that?o
They told him be must know all abodt the
Bible .
When the time came he declared himself pre-
pared, and took the journey with them
When he had arrived, he seated himself oppo-
site the missionary, wrapped in his blanket, and
looked exceedingly serious.
LII answer to an inquiry from the missionary,
he rolled up his eyes, and solernnly uttered the
following words, with pause between each:
Adam, Eve, Cain, Noah, jeremiah, Belize
bdb Solomon | I"
What do you mean? ]" said the missionary.

The Two Misers.

A miser living in Kufa had heard that in Bas-
sora also there dwelt miser, more misery than
himself, to whom he might go to school, and
from whom he might learn much He forthwith
journeyed thither; and presented himself to the
master as humble commencer in the art of ay-
arice anxious to learn, and under him to become
student.
Welcome /" said the miser of Bassora " we
viii straight go into the market to make some
purchases"
They went to the baker.
Hast thou good bread Z"
Good, indeed, my master; and fresh and
soft as buttern
Mark this friend, = said the man of Bassora
to the one of Kufa; butter is compared with
bread as being the better Of the two; as we can
only consume small quantity of that, it viii al
SO be the cheaper; and we shall therefore act
more wisely, and more savingly, too, in being
satisfied with butter "
They went to the butter merchant.
"Hast thou good butterY"
N'Good, indeed and favory and fresh as the
finest olive oil !" was the answer.
Mark this, ALSO" said the host to his guest !;
coil is compared with the very best butter, and,
therefore, by much ought to be preferred to the
latter
They next went to the oil-vender.
Hast thou good oil?"
"The very best quality; white and transpa-
rent as water" was the reply.
Mark that, too" said the miser of Bassora
to the one of Kufa; "by this rule water is the
very best Now, at home have a pail full, and
most hospitable Herewith will entertain you. !"
And, indeed, on their return, nothing but wa
ter did he place before his guest because they
had learned that water was better than oil, oil
better than butter, butter better than bread.
God be praised " said the miser of Kufa
I have not journeyed this long distance in

DANCING! What do think of it ? really
think this that when professors of religion dance,
that their religion Is afl in their feet, and not
worth much I'd rather there was a little in
their knees; then they could kneel down during
prayer at church and may be they would kneel
in their closets sometimes I'd rather it was In
their hands !; then they could shake hands with
poor body, could give something to the needy,
and more for the spread and support of the Cos
pei All, I'd rather it was all in their hearts
and then it would send healthy pulsation
throughout the system and then, really dancing
would seem very silly thing for sensible Chris
tain people to spend their time and health at.

whiskey gets into the stomach, really think
grace gets out of the heart. Somehow or other,
I've got the idea that grace don't love the smell
