The Sequel.

Our readers have all heard the story of
soaping the clergymans tin horn at a
camp meeting so that when he went to
call the congregation together he blew
the ''soft soap" over his brother clergy
men, and how he exclaimed:
Brethren, l have served the Lord
thirty years, and in this time never ut
tered profane word, but I'll IF /
can't whip the man that soaped that
horn"
Our readers, we say, have all heard
this, but have, perhaps, never heard the
sequel as given to US by gentleman pres
ent.
Some two days after, tall, swarthy
villainous looking desperate strolled on
the ground, and leaned against tree,
listening to an eloquent exortation to

preacher. After while he became inter

position on the anxious seat, commenced
groaning in "the very bitterness of his
sorrow. The clergymen walked dowr

A Rich Old widower,

In Canada, is said to have practised a
very artful scheme to gain the hand of the
belle of the village. He got an old gypsy
to tell the. lady s, fortune in words which
he dictated as follows: "My dear young
lady, your star will soon be hid for ashort
time by a. very dark cloud, but when il
reappers, it will continue to shine with
uninterrupted splendor until the end Of
your days. Before one week, a wealthy
old widower, wearing suit of black
and fine castor hat, will pay you visit
and request your hand in marriage. Yo,
will accept his offer, become his wife
and be left widow in possession of hi
property, before the close of this year
Your next husband will be the youn,
man of whom you think the most of a
present" Three days after, the old gen
tleman, dressed in the manner describe
by the gypsy. presented himself to tn
young lady, and the marriage followed

old widower still fingers.

Good and Bad Apples.

One day Roberts father saw him play
ing with some boys who were rude and
unmannerly. He had seen for some time
a change the worse in his son, and now
he knew the cause. He was very sorry,
but he said nothing to Robert at the
time.
In the evening he brought from the
garden six beautiful rosy checked apples,
put them on plate and presented them
to Robert. He was much pleased at his
fathers kindness, and thanked him.
I"Y You must lay them aside for few days,
that they may become mellow" said the
father, and Robert cheerfully placed the
palte with the apples in the mother
istore-room.
just as he was putting them aside, his
father laid on the plate the seventh apple,
which was quite rotten, and desired him
| to allow it to remain there.
"But, father, said Robert, 'the rotten
apples will spoil all the others
'sDo you think SOP Why should not
the fresh apples rather make the rotten
one fresh again ?' said his father, and
with these words shut the door of the
room.
Eight days afterwards he asked. his
father to open the door and take out the
apples But what sight presented
ITSELF The six apples which had beer
so sound and rosy checked were nov
quite rotten, and spread bad smell
through the room.
"Oh, papa r' cried he, ''did I not tel
you that the rotten apple would spoil tn
good ones? yet you did not listen tt
me-"
"My boy" said the father, shave no
told you often that the company of ba,
children will make you bad yetyou di
not listen to me. See. in the conditio
of the apples, that which will happen
you if you keep company with wicke
boys"
{ Robert did not forget the lessen. Whe
any of his former playfellows asked hir
to join in their sports, he thought of tn
! rotten apples, and kept himself apar
from them.

When billows around thee are dashing,
And sadness shrouds thy soul,
Give to God thy-heart- petition
He will back the pillows roll.
Through the waters dark, divided,
: Bright path will beam for thee,
And by faith the blissful future,
In the vision, thou shalt see.
Harbor not one slight misgiving,
4 For the light of faith is true;
Near the sand, and press of footprint,
1t will lead thee safely through.
Though the pillows rise as mountains,
And the shore is shadowy dim,
Still remember God is mighty,
All is possible with Him.
Should the foamy spray dash Ger thee,
- And arise the dark despair,
Then the Fathers love will shield thee,
With His holy, angel care.
Dost remember, in the garden,
When our Saviour strove with grief
How the angels came unto Him
With the balm of sweet relief
How they gave Him strength to finish
= Out the Fathers wondrous plan,
Strength to walk through deepest anguish
That might rise the soul of man?
Just the same bright angels hover
Round the breathing ones of now,
!, Just the same God gives to healing,
Ifbefere his throne we bow.
