Cure for the MeaseIs.

A lady, whose two children were sick
with the measels, sent to female friend
--one Of those good Samaritans who are
ever ready to help their neighbors with
advice gratis-icr prescription. The
friend, who had just been writing recei-
pc for another party for picking cucum-
bers, replied to the more important inqui-
ry without delay, but by mistake, sent to
the anxious mother Of the sick children
the following horrible directions: "Scald
them three or four times in very hot vine
gar, and sprinkle them well with salt, and
in few days they will be cured"

A Clerical AnacdOte.

The Rev. P Of Brook lin, belong
ing to the old school divines, and while
attending to his usual Sabbath mnistra-
tons managed to discover who Of his con >,
gregation were absent, his first duty on
Monday morning being to call on the ab
sentees, and to find why they were not at
church.
Among those whose places were often
vacant, was one man who cared but little
for the sanctity Of the holy day, Or the re-
proof Of the minister.
On taking his usual Monday morning
rounds, Mr.. P was sure to visit Mr..
G., as we will call him. Said the good
man, why were you not at church yester-
day?' ....
"Had other business to attend to-" vas
the blunt reply.
"Mr. c." said the clergyman, solemnly,
"there will be no preaching in hell"
"Well it won't be for the want of
ministers lhen," was the quick rejoin-
der.
This was hard cut, and the good old
doctor shook his head, and went on his
way, ruminating, doubtless, ss,upon the doc
trine of total depravity.

Money.

The desire to be rich is not evil in itself.
1t is nonsense for a man 10 stand up and
discaim the desire for wealth, and urge
upon himself the idea that he should be
poor. Money IS neither an evil nor good
itself; it has not a moral character. It is
simply an agent; and whether it be good
or evil depends upon the manner in which
it is used. 1t is like sword. Whether
sword be in the hands Of Benedict
Arnold, bathed in bis country's blood, or
in the hands Of Washington, welded for
justice and liberty it is sword only, and
has not character. Whether it be an
instrument for good or evil depends upon
the character of him who holds the hllt,
and not the sword itself. So it is with
money. 1t is an agent; it is gigantic
motive power, that thunders around the
world. If the devil stands engineer, it
thuuders on, freighted with untold mis-
chief, scattering oppression and cruelty
and wrong. But if it is guided by the
spirit Of love and truth, it is like the sun,
shedding light and summer upon the
world. '--5

Advice to Girls.

There is practice, quite prevalent
among young ladies Of the present day

self SO cheap as this. With an accepted
lover it is Of course all right. Even in
this case the likeness should be returned
if the engagement should, by any mis-
understanding, cease.
If this little paragraph should meet
the eye Of any young girl about to give
her Daguerreotype to gentleman &C.
quaintance, let her know that the re-
marks made by young men when togeth-
er; concerning what is perhaps on her
part bus piece of ignorance or impu-
dence, would if she heard them, cause
her cheeks to crimson with shame and
anger. "Were it a sister of ours" we
have often said, with flashing eye
were it sisters of ours! but that not
being the case, we give this advice to
anybody's sister who needs il. most anx.

times preserve her digrity and respect.

God Careth for the Children.

God careth for the children,
The children of the poor;
For them He bids the little flowers
Blossom upon the moor,
Spring up beneath the shady hedge
And on the green hill side,
And mid the gently waving grass
Their modest beauty hide.
God careth for the children,
The children of the poor;
For them the little songsters
Chirp rornd the cottage door;
All through the long, loug sumner day
Marble their music wild;
In winter feed upon the crumbs
Thrown by the peasant child.
God careth for the children,
The children of the poor;
And happily they live, although
Neglected and obscure
Upspringing like the daisies.
Contented they may be,
For He who careth for the birds,
Watcheth them lovingly.

placed him in a coffin, with the lid so
that he could raise it, placed it in grave

short time, the fumes of the liquor left

fined, he sat upright, and after looking
around, he exclaimed:
"Well, I'm the first that's riz, or else
I'm confoundedly belated."

A Dinner for Two.

DhoItiy aitei lne war WIN oiedI Dii'
tain, an aristocratic English gentle
man built fine residence in the vicinity
of Fort George. on the Niagrs frontier,
and in accordance with the old country
idea of exclusiveness, he inclosed his
grounds with high, tight fence. Here
he lived like an old English gentleman
one of the oden time-with the excep.
tion that none but the elite of the pro.
vince and the officers of the neighbor>
ing garrison were permitted to pass his
gate.
There was a good understanding be-
tween the American officers al Ft. George,
and the men were occasionally permitted
to visit back and forth. Among the
American soldiers was queer chap, who
suffered terribly, was very fond of hunt
ing, and was always getting into some
kind of mischief.
One day, this chap took the small boat
that lay moored at the foot Of the walls
Of the fort, and crossed over TO the Ca
madam shore for hunt. He wandered
several miles in the rear Of Fort George
without meeting with any game, on his
return seeing crow on tree within the
inclosure of the aristocratic Englishman,
he scaled the high fence, fired, and bro't
down his game. Coonel-or whatever
his title may have been, we'll call him
Colonel, anyhow Witnessed the trans
action, and advanced while our soldier was
reloading. He was very angry. but see
ing the Yankee standing cody with
loaded gun in his hand, he gulped down
his passion for a moment and meerly ask
ed if he had killed the crow. The soldier
said he did. .....l
"I am sorry said the colonel, "for he
was pet. By-the-by, that is pretty
gun; will you be kind enough to let me
look at it?"
"The Englishman took the gun, step
ped back few PAGES took deliberate aim,
and then broke forth in TRADE of abuse,
concluding with an order to stoop down
and take a bite Of the crow or he would
blow out his brains. s. H..
The soldier explained, appologised and
1t was no use. There was
shoot in the Englshman's eye-there was
no help for it-and the suffering soldier
stopped, took a bite of the crow, but
swallow it he could not. Up came his
breakfast dinner the day before, and
It really appeared as ifhe would throw
up his toe nails. The Englishman gloat-
ed on the misery Of the victim, aud smiled
,omplacently at every additional heave.
When he got through vomiting and had
wiped his eyes, the colonel handed him
he gun, with the remark
"Now, you rascal, that will teach You
low to poach upon gentleman's inclos-
lre." .... .r
The Yankee soldier took bis gun, and
he colonel might have seen the devil in
lis eye if be had looked close. Stepping
,ack he took deliberate aim at the heart
If his host, and ordered him instantly to
inish the crow. Angry expostulations,
prayers and dentreaties were useless things.
There was shoot in the Americans eye
hen as there had been in the English
mans eye before. There was no help at
land, and he took.s bite Of the crow
one bite was enough to send all the good
lipners he had eaten lately on the same
ournev with the fare of the soldier. and.

A Capital Trick that Ended Well.

Here is good story which we have
just heard. A young man "a brother to
"Sly Boots" perhaps, for like her he ems
joyed go,d joke was studying in COL
lege, One afternoon he walked out with
one Of his instructors, and they CHANGED
to see an old pair of shoes lying by the
side of the path, which appeared to be-
long to poor man at work close by.
"Let us have little amusement, at his
expense said the student. "Suppose
we hide those shoes, and conceal our
selves in the bushes to W atch his perplex.
ity when he cannot find them"
can think Of better trick than that
said the instructor. "You are rich, anil
suppose you put a silver dollar in the toe
Of each Of his shoes and then we will
hide"
The young man did SO. The poor man
uuloueu HIS WOIh SOOuJ anu WcuG W put
on his shoes. You can imagine his sur
prise when be stopped down to take out a
pebble, as he supposed, fr m the toe, and
found it to be hard dollar, and then his
absolute perplexity and astonishment,
when be found still another in the other
shoe. His feelings overcame him; he
fell upon his knees looked up to heaven,
and uttered aloud fervent thanksgiving,
in which he thanked kind Providence for
sending him some unknown hand to save
from perishing his sick and helpless wife,
and his children without bread. Do you
wonder that the young man stood in his
hiding place deeply affected, and his eyes
filed with tears? Young friends, and
you, Miss "Sly Boots" when you want to
enjoy real pleasure at Witnessing the per-
plexity of others, see if you cannot in
some way initiate the student. Such
tricks are we'll worth being performed.
