than might fairly be expected.
So 90 matters in this easy, rollicking,
sunny climate, where the warm days so
outnumber the cold that the laborer never
thinks it hardship to live in house with
out glass windows, generally being certain
that no rain storm will beat in at all four
sides of his house at once, so that he can
have an open shutter somewhere
1t is hardly possible to run plantation
with hands trained under the old reQine
without running in the same old, worn, rat
tling grooves in which the machinery OF
plantation life has always moved
y climate whose summer lasts pretty
much the year round, inclines people, spite
of themselves, to the large, leisurely, easy
way Of doing things Nature here does
not bring you up with the short, decided,
step-mother turns of northern latitudes,

90 on sowing, reaping and tending garden
the year round, everything inclines one to
take matters by the day, to comfort ones
self that there is tinne enough tomorrow
for what isn't done to-day. So even North
ern Yankees find the grim clutches of care
relaxing their hold they laugh at incon-
veniences which at home they would find
matters of grave Importance, and agree to

would not have been impressed at all bu
this interview was the best prayer and con
ference meeting they ever had. In coming
before them, and bearing testimony to his
faith in Christ, and to his love of the cause
OF religion, and giving up his house and
property to pay his debts, that his life
might be consistent with his professions, he
did that which they could all understand
and which led them to believe that there
was more in religion than they had sup
posed there was. And the effect would
naturally be, if they heard religion de-
nounced, to lead them to stand up for it.
even if they had not before had faith in it
themselves, and say, q Look here . you
need not talk about religion. l know one
man that | think has got it-Mr. Acron. y
You will say, " Is it evidence that a
man is a Christian because he pays his
debts ?" No; but you recollect that in
the day of Pentacost, one of the wonders
was that every man heard the gospel
preached III his own tongue. When a man
pays his debts, he breaches in a language
that IS understood by more men than when
he breaches III almost any n,l.~~ language
ths.; is spoken. Now, when a man comes
into the church under such circumstances
see how he grows, He has soil twenty
feet deep-as deep as that in the Wyoming
and Wabash valleys. And one such self
denial, one such heroism, Il am ashamed
to call it heroism; for it ought to be q
matter Of common, every day ife,) will
give man power, an impulse, that will
not spend itself i'll his whole life.
Against this it might be argued that it
is 4 brave thing to try to keep family up
out Of the reach Of want in life-and it is
but which Is better, to make them comfor-
table outside. or TO give them moral inspi-
ration inside? 1t is not now question OF
bargain and agreement. but a question of
moral capital laid up.
| should say, therefore, TO this brother,
| will aequit you of all dishonesty in the
past; | will admit that you did, according
to the doctrine of the world, the thing that
was honorable and right; but | advise YOU,
if You want to be a thoroughly good Christ
ian, to part with that house, distribute
your goods, and begin with a clear con-
science, not only, but, according to the
Word of God, honest IN the sight Of men.
There Is a great deal in that

The Good Wife.

II i just as you say, neighbor Green,
\ treasure indeed Is my wife:
such another for hustle and work
Inever have found in my life.
But then She keeps every one else
~ busy aS birds on the wing;
There l. never a moment for rest.
She is such fidgety thing.
She makes the best bread in the town.
Her pies are a perfect delight,
Her coffee a rich golden brown,
Her crullers and puddings just right.
But then while eat them she tells
OF the care and the worry they bring,
OF the martyr-like toll she endures-
., shes such a fidsety thing
Ny house i> as neat as a pin,
You should see how the door-handles shine,
And all of the soft-cushioned chairs
And nicely swept carpets mine.
But then She 50 frets at the dust,
At fy, at a straw, at 4 string,
That 1 stay out Of doors all can.
She i such fidgety thing,
She doctors the neighbors-O YES,
If a child has the measles or Group,
>lc j. there with her safrrons and squills
Her dainty made gruels and soup.
But then she insists on her right
To phv>ie my blood in the spring;
And She takes the whole charge of my bile
., she's such fidgety thing
She knits all my stockings herself,
Ny shirts are bleached white as the snow:
Ny old clothes look better than new,
Y It daily more threadhare they grow.
But then If 4 morsel of lint
Ordust on my trousers should cling
I'm sure of one sermon at least.
She Is such fideetv thing.
lou have heard of a spirit so meek,
30 meek that it never opposes,
Its own II dares never To speak
Alas. l am mcekcr than Moses
But then I am not reconciled
The subordinate always to sing;
l submit TO get rid of a row,
she il, such iidgety thing.
Its just as YOU say, neighbor Green,
\ treasure TO me has been given;
But sometimes I fam would be glad
To lay up my treasure in heaven.
But then every life has its cross,
Most pleasures on earth have their sting
shes a treasure, know. neighbor Green,
But she's such tidgety thing.
