Anecdoie of count Bismarek-The fol.

AneedOie of count Bismar ek.-The fol-
lowing anecdote of Count Bismarck is
told by the Paris correspondent of Land
and Water, an English Journal:
"In 1S41 Bismarck was twenty-six
years old, and had just passed his civil
service examination. He went to the
chief of his department, and was told
to wait in the ante-chamber. At the
end OF half an hour he exhibited symp-
toms of great irritation; three quarters
of an hour passed, and he pulled off
his gloves and tore them up. When
he had waited an hour and half he
got up and was leaving the room, when
the gentleman he had been waiting for
opened the door and asked him what he
required. Sir, an hour and a half ago
L desired to speak with you, but desire
to do so no longer. Aud young Bis
marck went away. Twenty-Five years
later Otto Edward Leopold de Bismarck
was first minister, and paid an official
visit to a certain project. The minister
was shown into his apartment by the
project, and was about to retire. We'll,
sir, said the count, 'you must acknowl-
edge that life is full of curious chances
What does your excellency mean?'
Il mean that it is low twenty three
years since last saw you, and you are
very little changed. Il beg your ex-
cellency's pardon, but L don't remem-
ber' Howl said M. de Bismarck
laughing. don't you remember young
man who was rather impertinent to you
when you were head of Department.
The project became red, green and pale,
but the count gave him his hand, and
do more was said of the matter"

The Boys Prayer.

Hattie sister want drum
Large, and pretty, and round, and red,
So, i'll pray, do you think twill come?
ASK and receive the Lord has said."
But the sister, musing, shook her head.
"How should know. dear brother Try;
You can but fail" was the soft reply;
And so to his darkened room he went.
Still on his simple thought intent,
10 ask the Lord for the precious boon:
ana please, dear Father, send it soon
Large, and pretty. and round, and red,
Send me drum dear Lord" he said.
N answer still, and he came one day
And laid his head on his sisters breast.
Hattie, think will not pray,
Give me drum, dear Father lest
MY prayers should wrong him-He knows best.
SO back to his simple toll and play,
Calm and conteE.. he went that day;
But God, who gamers the smallest seed
Of faith and patience, to dover with need
VI bud and blossom in His good time
Owned and answered the faith sublime.
For other ears than the sisters heard,
Unknown to the child, his simple word;
And when the glad New Year was come,
With its festive mirth and its merry hum
Of fhousehold-greetings, bran new drum
Gladdened the sight the wondering boy;
de could not speak for the sudden Joy
AT length he lifted his lashes, dim
With happy tears: at is just like Him
Just like the Lord" he murmured low,
"And just the drum WANTED SO,
Though for smaller one prayed;
For, sister Hattie, felt afraid
Lest the dear Lord might ask amiss,
To pray for drum SO big as this :"

For Me AND THEE.-There is an
old tale, which though idle in itself,
the use may be good. A certain man
who would never go to church, when
he heard the saints bell, would say to
his wife, "Go thou to church and pray
for thee and me" One night he
dreamed that both he and his wife
were dead, aud that they knocked to.

and thee. AS thy wife went to churcf
for thee, so she must go to heaven fol

Nothing but Water to Drink.

When the bright morning star, the new day light
is bringing,
And the orchards and groves are with melody
ringing
Their way to and from them the early birds
winging.
And their anthems of gladness and thanksgiving
singing;
Why do they so twitter and sing, do you think
Because they have had nothing but water to
drink.
When shower on a hot day in summer is over
And the fields are all smelling of white and red
clover,
Andthe honey bee-busy and plundering rover
Is fumbling the blossom leaves over and over,
Why SO fresh clean and sweet, are he fields, do
you think
Because they've had nothing but water to drink,
Doyou see that stout oak on its windy hill grow
ing?
DO you see what great hailstones thai DIack cloud
is throwing
Do you see that steam ship, its ocean way going
Against trade winds and head winds, like hurri-
canes blowing?
Why are oaks, clouds and war-ships so strong,
do you think
Because they've had nothing but water to drink
Now if we have to work in the shop, field or
study,
And would have a strong hand, and cheek
that is ruddy,
And would not have a brain that is added and
muddy,
With our eyes all bunged up and our noses all
bloody
How shall we make and keep ourselves so, do
you think
Why, you must have nothing but water to drink.

The TEMPERANCE PLEDGE.-Noth-
ing is more certain than, that if the
temperance pledge s signed and
kept, it will save from drunkenness
and all its attendant evils. That
pledge has saved thousands who might
have been drunkards, and reclaimed
other thousands who had already fall
Ell under the blighting curse of rum.
1t strengthens the weak resolution and
encourages reform.
It is a pledge of principle and duty
for those who have not formed the
habit of drinking. It commits them
to a course of right action, and is a
public protest against the sinful traffic
and use of intoxicating drinks. But
some object to the pledge. q am not
willing to sign away my liberty" says
one. Liberty to do what? To drink
a poison; to make a beast of your
self; to make beggars of your family;
to fill the poor-house with paupers,
and the prison with convicts. Liber-
ty TO make fifty thousand new drunk
