THE IDLER.

"Children hatdon't like toread nor work, never
come to much. Have you not heard the story OF
John Alsop? His father lived in new settlement
in America, and was one daywith Ineighbor build
ing a log fence. They had got one length up pref
ty W hich. and were now rolling up log upon two
poles to finish it. 1t was Johns business to put a
wedge Or block under the rolling log asst was hitch
ed along up, to keep it from rolling back: Giving
it hard 1ft and getting it up little higher, the
father cried out, There, johnny, under with the
block. quick III ohnny started for the block; but
at that irlstaaeh Ne heard the chirp Of squirrel
and he let gothic block and ran after the squirrel
He was noteasas lazy boy, who would never stick
to thing till it was done and when he got to be
man, he was still the same. The neighbor who
was that day with his father was asked by gentle
man. thirty years afterward, what sort Of man
John made; to which he replied by telling the story
adding, And he has been running after squirrel;
erer since he never amounted to anything And
so it is with any idler.

A WILL AND A WAY.

Lambert is well grown boy, and able to do al,
most a mans work but he does not think himself
too big to 90 to the Sabbath School He some
times labors on the farm for his uncle, with whom
he lives: and sometimes he works in the carpenter
sbop with his brother. But his work does not pre-;
vent him from having good, long Sunday school
lesson, we'll prepared for every sabbath.
One afternoon, when he had recited several hun
dred verses from the Testament and hymn book,
his teacher inquired: .,
Lambert, how did you manage to commit to
memory so many verses last week. when you were
as l know, hard at work in the carpenter shop eV'
cry day?" ,r,..
Lambert replied: II will tell you how 1 did it,
laid my book opened, on the carpenters bench: anG
as passed by it, going from one end OF the board
I was blaming to the other, l stopped long enough
to read two or three lines, which repeated while
was pushing my plane, until knew them BY heart
and thus through good part OF the day worked
and studied at the same time.
A few Sabbaths after, Lambert came to schoo
again with long lesson, which he reclted very ac
curatey. His teacher again inquired.
How did you find time to get this lesson las
week? I know that you were poughlng every day
early and late; and as you had no bench to .pu
your book on, how did you contrive to commit 81
many verses?
Lambert thus explained the mystery:
''Before I started with my plough, tackled
leather strap upon the plough handle, and in tina
I stuck my book. Then when l came to the enc
of the furrow, while my horses were turning arount
l caught up my book and read over verse, ant
this repeated to myself until reached anothe @
And thus Icould learn as many as plough
ed burrows"
Let no scholar who reads this say to his teacher
II have no time to get my Sunday school lessons.
