A Whole Family in Heaven.

The following beautiful passage is from
the pen of Rev, Albert Barnes GA whole
family in Heavon-who can describe their
everlasting joy! No one is absent. No
father, nor son, nor daughter is a away.
In the world below ascend together. Be.
fore the throne they bow together in uni
ted alteration On the bank of the river
of life they walk hand in hand and ss
family they have commenced a career Of
glory which shall ba everlasting. There
is hereafter to be no separation Of that
family. No one is to lie down on bed of
pain. No one is to wander away into tenn
ptalion. No Que to sink into the arms of
death, Never in Heaven s that family to
move along in slow procession, clad in
the habilinehts of woe, to consign one OF
its members to the tomb. God grant that
iu His infinite mercy every family nay be
thus united"

Butter at the Old Price.

Some where in Connecticut there is
family by the name Of Barstow, who were
never noted for cleanliness. Or the con.
trary, the name was proverbial for filth.
mess They were farmers, and Mrs Bar.
stowe, was engaged in the dairy business.
Each week she posted to village near by
and disposed of her butter to Squire Wal
ker who dealt in country produce and
groceries. Ere long she learned that she
did not get half as much for her butter as
her neighbors we're receiving, aud this
aroused her usual quiet temper, and she
determined to demand an explanation of
Squire Walker the next time she went to
market. So the following week, with her
regular amount of butter, she presented
herself at the groce.'s counter and said.
esquire Walker, what are you paying
for butter to day -
He opened her boxes, and after a care.

"Twelve and half cents"
"Twelve and half cents" she repeat.
ed. "How is it that you pay Mrs. Per.
kins twenty cents a pound, and only allow
me uenepence--an this you have done
all along g"
"Well,' said the squire, coloriug up
and hesitatiug on each word, 'the fact is,
Mrs. Barstow, your butter is not so clean
as hers, and l find it hard work to get rid
of it at that price even, when people know
who made it,
"If that is all that is required" she re-.
piled with confident air, u will show
them that eln make as good butter and
as clean butter as any body"
Mrs Barstow all excited hurried home,
Notwithstanding the oppressive heat of The
afternoon, and sezing the milk straner,
and wiping the PRECIPITATION from her face,
exclaimed to her daughter
''Bstsey Aun, Squire Walker had the
impudeuce to tell me that my butter was
not as clean as Nancy Perkins, and now
mean to show him that l can make as
clean butter as she."
"Du tell l think should try mother :
replied Betsy Ann, cmphatically.
Mrs. BarstoH commenced skimming her
milk and cream into her old fashioned
churn. It was all in but the last pan,
when mounted upon stool, was reaching
after that; but unfortunately, she slipped
and one of her dirty feet went down into
the churn until it brought up at The bottom,
scattering it in every direction. Extract.
ing herself as soon as possible, she com.
menced scrapiDg the cream from her limb
and throwing it back into the churn, and

The Deacon and the Wasp.

A worthy Deacon in q good town in
Maine was remarkable fol the facility with
which he quoted Scripture on all occasions
The divine word was ever at his tongues s
end, and all the trivial, as we'll as impor-

of quoting the language Of the Bible, Wha'
was better, however, the exemplary nan
always made his quotations Che standard Of
action. One hot day, he was engaged in
moving, with his hired men, who were
leading off, the deacon followed with his
swath coming in apt quotations, when the
man suddenly Sprang from his place,
leaving his swath just in time to escape a
wasp's nest.
"What is the matterl' hurriedly asked
the deacon.
"Pooh - said the deacon, "the wicked
Zee when no man pvrsueth, but the right
eous are as bold as lion !" and taking
the workman's swath he moved but step
when a swarm of brisk insects settled
about his ears, and he was forced to re-
treat with many painful sting, and in
great discomfeiture.
"Ah p shouted the other with chuck.

and hidesh himself, but the simple pass on

Legal IntelligGnce.

Lawyer Barns, one day and began his ap-
plicatiOn
Barns, | have come to get your advice
in case that is giving me some trouble
well what is it
Suppose now said the client, that a
man had one spring Of water on his land,
and his ueighbor below should build dam
across its creek through both Of their farms,
and it was to back the water up into the
other mans spring; what ought to be
done 2
Sue him, sue him by all means said
the lawyer, who always became excited in
proportion to the aggravation of his clients
you can recover heavy damages, sir, and
the law will make him pay well for it -
Just give me the case, and III bring the
money from him, and if he hasn't great
deal of property, it will break him up, sir.
But stop, Barus,' cried the terrified ap-
plicant for legal advice, 'its | that bull, the
dam and Its neighbor Jones that owns the
spring, and he threatens to sue me-
The keen lawyer hestated moment

'Ah. well, sir, you say you built dam
across that creek. What sort Of a dam
was it, sir ?
1T was a mill dam, SIR

'To be sure tits. would not have built
it but for that. 1t ia SO far superior to any

'And now, said the old lawyer, you tell
me that man Jones is complaining just be-
cause the water from your dam happens

threatening tossue you. Well, all l have
to say 10 to le. him sue you. and he will rue
the day as sure as my name is Barns
