The agents of two rival safe manufac-
turers were recently presenting the claims
OF their respective articles. One was
Yankee, and the other wasn't. He that
wasn't told his story. A game cock had
been shut up In one of the safes, and
then it was exposed for three days to the
most extreme heat. When the door was
open, the cock stalked out and crowed.
as if nothing had happened. This rather
put .Yank' to his trumps; but he was
equal to the emergency. A cock too had
been shut up in one of his safes, together
with pound of fresh butter, and the
safe submitted to the trial of tremen-

death, and the butter so hard that man
who knocked off piece Of it with a
hammer had one of his eyes put out with
a butter splinter.

the wheel of care and supplies the place
Of sunshine. A man who sings hasa good
heart under his shirt front. Such a man
not only works more willingly, but he
works more constantly. A singing cob
bier will earn as much again money as

sing. The man who attacks singing
throws a stone at the head OF hilarity,
and would if he could, rob June of its
roses and August of its meadow lark.
Singing promotes health, strengthens the
voice, the organs Of the throat and lungs,
and prevents or cures consumption.
Singing is an excellent agent for promot-
ing mental hygiene.

of the voyage of life before taking III

The following incident is related by
a correspondent of the Christian Adro-
cate as having occurred at the late meet
ing of the Philadelphia Methodist Con-

Secretaries were yet seated at their ia

tered the church, walked deliberately up
the middle aisle till she reached the altar
turned to the left, came to the foot of the
pulpit stars, and then hoped into an
umbrella stand deposited an egg. 1t
was all she had to give to the Church, and
never was there a more cheerful glyer.
