Sabbath @eaaina,
A Earable by Spurgean.

A certain tyrant sent for one of bis
subjects and said ia him:
What isyoar emrlayment ?"
He said
| am blacksmith"
" Go home said he, "and make
me chain ofsuch length +"
He went home; it occupied him
several mouths, and he had no wages
all the while he vas making it. Then
he brought it to the monarch, and he
said
90 and make it twice as long .
He gave him nothing to d. it With,
bat sent him away.
Again he worked On, and made it
twice as long. He brought it up again
to the monarch, and he said
Go and make it longer gtill.n
Each time he brought it there vas
nothing but the command 10 make it
longer still. And when he brought it
up at last, the monarch said
Take it and bind him hand and foot
with it, and east him into a furnace Of
fre.n
There was his wages for making the
chain Here is a meditation for you
tonight, We servants Of the devil -
YoHr master, the devil, is telling you
to make q chain.
Some Of you have been fifty years
welding the links of the chain, and he
says, Go and make it longer STILL"
Next Sunday morning yon viii open
that shop Of yours, and pat another
link on; next Sunday you viii be
drunk, and put another link on next
Monday you will do dighQnest ac-
tion, and SO will keep on making fresh
links to this chain and so when YOU
have lived twenty more years, the devil
will say, More links on still I" And
then, at last, it will be "Take him and
bind him hand and foot, cast him into
furnace Of fire." for the wages of
sin is death" Theae is subject for
your meditation. / DO not think it
will be sweet; But if God makes it
profitable, it will DO you good. You
must have strong medicines sometimes,
when the disease is bad. God apply
it to your hearts.

RELIEF IN SQRRoW.-It is not i'm
parted by rich gifts, but by something
far less costly God has insured it by
a much more simple machinery. He
has given to the meekest and the poor
est power to contribute largely to the
common stock Of eladness. The ehild's
smile and laugh are mighty powers in
the world. When bereaYement has
left you desola;e, what costly gift is
there which can give consolation to
your wounded spirit It cannot re-
place the loved ones yop haYe lost
It cannot fill the void in yQur heart.
RHt g warm hand has touched yours,
and its thrill told You that there vas
living response there to yonr emotions
One look, one human sigh has done
more for yon than the costilest present
could convey.

The Last Hog of Autumn,

The following is lugqhriaus effu-
sion, which will, perhaps, be apprecia-
ted by the lovers of pork t.
'Tis the last hog of Autumn,
Left squealing alone
All his grunting companions
Are butchered and gone.
No pig of his kindred,
No porker is nigh
To help empty the swill trough,
Or share in his sly.
III not leave thee, thou lone one,
To starve in the pen,
Since thy mates are all pork now,
Die shalt thou with them.
Then thus do I offer
The knife to thy throat,
And thou shalt be picked
Like every dead shoat.
And may I be present
When thou art the treat,
For souse, ham, or sausages,
Who would not eat?
When people are hungry,
And beef can't be had,
For calming the appetite,
Pork is not bad.

RULES FOR GOING TO gLEEP.
/. Fix the thoughts on some one
thing. Ii You can't do that, fix them
on two things. FEa'eu! You can
easily unfx them after you once get
to sleep.
2. Don't 90 to sleep with You head

feet dangling on the floor, II dis

3. A writer recommends to suspend
bass drum oyer your he'd within
reach, and pound on it with your fist.
Il will induce sound sleep.
i. Rolling the eyeballs is good ex-
cept for blind people. It may do
permanent injury to their sight. Rol-
ling out Of bed may be substituted in
such cases.
5. The danger of falling asleep lies
principally in the distance you fall
Those who are subject to such falls
should have a rope laddar convenient
to climb back again on.
6. Dining late is q poor way of
anodying. In order to fall asleep each
night with despatch, don't eat any
thing the day previous.

playfully patting her chin the fact

man, and You and I'll be married to-
night. ] know how to manage those
scoundrels at Trenton. A champagne
sqpper-or was it breakfast did the
business for them. Put on your bon
net and let US go to the preachers at
once, dearest"
The widow, who was among widows
as peaches among apples, put Cd her
bonnet and took Jones arm, and
Just look how handsome it is on
parchment " cried Jones, pulling out
the document before her; here's the
law that says Jacob Jones and Ann
Caroline Jones are two"
Putting her plump gloved hand on
his shoulder, she did look at it, too,
with wonder
ooh, dear ! +" she said, with her ro-
sy lips, and sank back ha,f faint ing on
the sofa.
"Oh, blazes |" cried Jones. and
sank beside her, rustling the fatal
parchment in his hand; "here's lot
of happiness and champagne gone to
ruin.
1t was 9 hard case,
Instead of being divorced, and at
liberty to marry the widow, Jacob
Jones was simply, by the Legislature of
New Jersey, incorporated into turn
pike company, and what made it worse,
authorized to run from Burlington to
Bristol.
When you reflect that Burlington
and Bristol ape located just mile apart,
on opposite sides of the Delaware riv-
er, yon will observe the extreme hope
lessness of Jones' case
Its all the fault of that turnpike
man who gave them the champagne
supper-op was it the breakfast 2"
cried Jones, in agony.
If they'd chartered me to turn
pike from Pigs Run to Terpapiu Hol-
low, might have borne it; but the
very idea of building turnpike from
Burlington to Bristol bears an absurd
ity on the face of it."
Reader, it did.
I" And you amt divorced" said
Eliza, a tear running down each cheek.
No :" Numbered Jones, crushing
his hat between his knees, "and what
is worse, the legislature is adjourned
and gone away drunk, and won't be
back to Trenton till next year /"
1t was hard case.

the last day of the session, when legis-
lators and transcribing clerks we're lar
