a "L1TTLE THINGS. The precious
hess Of little things was never more
beautifully expressed than in the fol-
lowing moroccan, by B. L. Taylor:
Little martin boxes Of homes are
generally the most happy and cozy;
little villages are nearer to being
atoms of a shattered paradise than
anything we know of; and little for
tunes bring the most content, and
little hopes the least disappoint-
ments.
Little words are the sweetest to
hear; little charities fly furthest, and
stay longest on the wing; little lakes
are the stillest, little hearts the fullest,
and little farms the best titled. Little
books are the most read, and little
songs the most loved. And when
nature would make anything espe-
cially rare and beautiful, she makes
1t l1ttle-little pearls, little diamonds,
little dews.
Everybody calls that little that they
love best on earth. We once heard a
good sort of man speak of his little
wife, and we fancied that she must
be perfect little 6yow of q wife.
We saw her, and she weighed 21O;
we were surprised. But then it was
no Joke; the man meant it. He
could put his wife in his heart, and
have room for other things beside;
and what was she but precious, and
what was she but little?
Muttatna IN pa7'oo-much in little
is the great beauty of ali we love
best, hope for most, and remember
the longest

A contributor to the "drawcr" of
Horper's Monthly tells story of
certain deacon, who was one of the
best Of men, but by nature very iras-
chile. A COW was so exceedingly dis
orderly, as the deacon was attempt
ing to milk her one morning, that the
OLD Adam got the better of him, and
he vented his excited feelings in Il
y,olley OF execrations very undeacon-
1sh In their character. At this mo-
ment, the good deacons pastor APP
peared unexpectedly on the scene,
and announced his presence by say
ing, "Why, deacon, can it be-! Are
you swearing?" "Well, parson," re-
piled the deacon, ''I didn't think of
any one being near by; but the truth
is, L never shall enjoy religion as
long as keep this COW"

STRANGE, YET TRUE.-A gentleman
an the lower part of this city has
splendid milch cow She ordinarily
gives from two to three gallons at q
milking. It is q remarkable fact that
for the last two or three months she
has given more milk in cold weather
than in warm. When the weather is
cold, her milk is abundant, but.
when it moderates her supply is re-
duced down frequently to less than q
quart. This remarkable freak at
tracted the notice of her owner
several weeks ago, and ever since he
has been sedulously trying to divine
the cause. At first, he thought she
was milked by other parties than
members of his family, but as the
COW was confined in a lot adjoining
his residence, and closely watched,
he became satisfied no person other
than some one of his family milked
her. During the recent extreme cold
weather, her milk was abundant, but
yesterday (the weather having very
much moderately she failed entirely
This morning he was up early, de-
termined, if possible, to learn the
cause of the failure He had hardly
entered the COW yard before his at
tentlon was attracted to rustling
noise in some chunks near the stable.
Presently he saw huge snake emerge
from underneath the stable and crawl
up to his favorite mixer and dclibe-
rately begin stripping her teats The
snake was at least five feet long, and
as large as Il man S arm at the shoulder
1t was what is known Us !; COW snake
The mystery was now explained. In
cold weather the snake lies dormant,
hybernating, but when the weather
gets warm he emcrges from his winter
querters- The gentleman attempted
to kill the snake but failed. 1t ran.
back under the stable, where it now
securely lies gorged with it's favorite
beverage.
The gentleman who relates this
snake story is one of our most re-
spected citizens, and vouchcs for its
truth.-N. 4. Ledqer.

The Prayer OF the Poor for the Poor.
I asked for wealth to aid the poor,
Whose pitied wounds [ may not heal;
Whose presence 1 but i'll endure,
So helpless is the Of feel
When thus, methougn., the Lord replied:
"The world, with all its wealth, is mine;
My hand Of love, if opened wide,
Would need not trembling aid from
thine"
"Oh, give me wealth." again L said,
''That | may taste the sweet employ
or giving orphan children bread
or filling widowed hearts with joyi'
And knowing we'll my deep distress,
His pitying voice replied to me:
"The whispered PRAYER, the wish to blcss
Are all | now require of thee"
Yet once again dared to sigh.
'The rich who love Thy works are few;
Let mo but pass the needles eye,'
70 bear Thy gifts securely through"
The voice replied, in accents mild,
Both good and evil work for me;
If thon weie rich, repining child,
Thou, like the rest, mightest faithless be.
"Mourn lo 8, yet combat moro the i'll
Thou didst not cause, ,.and canst not
cure;
'ris thine t. bear thy Fathers will.
'Tis His to aid the helpless poor
"And cen in this desponding hour,
Thou feePst that it's the better part

Than, having power, to lack the heart y

pIOUs GAMBLING DENoUNCED.

At the recent convocation Of the Episco-
pal clergy OF Western Tennessee, at Bolivar,
Bishop Quintard delivered an address IN
which occurs The following against q very
common practice Of the day:
"My dear and rev,r,nd brethren, would
have you bear In mind how necessary Il 10
for us TO do the Masters work in his own
way. The very moment we depart out Of
that way, we cause men to stumble at tho
law Of Christ and make our ministry bye
word and a reproach. Therefore have
also made you contemplate and base before
all the people, according as ye have not kept
my ways" saith the Lord. When thought-
Iul men Of the world are al loss 10 apolo-
gize for practices In which Christians
lhoughtlessly indulge, surely 1t Is time for
the Pastors of Christs flock to lift voice Of
warning aud admonition. ! charge you,
before God, that ye be not remiss in rebuke-
lug sharply, aad with all authority, not only
The wordHuess which we 50 much deplore
but especially those vicious practices which
have gained popularity among Christian
people for rnisng money ~ do the Lords
work. II Is treason against God and his
Christ to give counleaance to such evil
measures. II men will not do their duty
and pay what they owe, their tentb unto
the Lord If they will not offer to God of
their substauce-if they will not lay their
gifts upon the altar, then warn them boldly
and fearlessiy that God will either take their
riches from them, or them from their riches.
II they will not build churches from sense
Of the natural decency OF things, that Gods
name may be reverenced without rssortiug
to means and appliances which outrage all
sense Of religion and break dowd ali the
barriers Of public moraliy--,heu far better
for US to worship under the blue arch Of
heaven" ..-....
