A Pig That Had a Chance.
4 STORY FOR TIE WEE ONES.

Most pigs never have any chance to
be respectable. They are fed on the
coarsest food and shut up in q dirty
pen, where they have no freedom and
no society, and not even pure air and
"a clean bed. If little boy should be
shut up in q pig pen, and fed upon
slops, and should have nobody TO teach
him, or talk to him, or play with him
he would grow up coarse and brutal
if he would grow up at all. once
knew a pig who had a good time the
first half year of his life, and as IL Is a
story will tell you about it.
When he was about a month old he
was very plump and pretty, with
white bristles over pink skin, and
the farmer who owned him took a
fancy to him and resolved to give him
a chance to improve. So he took him
from his dirty little brothers and sis
tiers, and gave him q nice little shed
all to himself; in the shed was a soft
bed of clean straw, and the door was
left open. 1t was only the pigs bed
room where he slept at night and in
wet weather In pleasant days, he
ran abont the yard and over the green
in front of the house, and he would
have gone into the house If friend
of his had not taught him better
This friend was Matte, the farmers
little daughter. She had entire charge
of the pig, and fed him three times q
day with sweet brown bread and milk,
and often ran and played with him as
if he had been q dog. He was very
fond of Matte, and when she sat down
in the doorway he would come and
lay his head in her lap. It Basa clean
head, for his bed was clean and his
food was ehean, and he was very often
washed; Ehaye seen bOysSnd girls in
Cincinnati who were dirtier than this
little pig.
He knew great deal, too, and he
had but one fault, but that was a sad
one, and made his friend Matte, a
great deal of trouble. He insisted on
following her wherever she went, eX-
eept when she went into the house
If she picked strawberries or violets
he was always with her, and she could
never visit her little playmates with
out his tagging" as children call it.
One day she sat out when he was fast
asleep and ran down the road out Of
sight round a turn. Very soon she
heard the piggy trotting after; so she
climbed wall and hid herself behind
it, waiting till he should go by. But
she could not deceive him in that way.
When ne came near where she was,
he stopped and said fugh! (! ugh :" and
began to smell in the bushes, and soon
after, there was a great elatter among
the stones, and the head of the pig
came over the wall, where the little
girl was hiding. He was delighted to
find her, and she could not make him
understand that he was Troublesome.
Sc at last this bad habit was the cause
of his death. He grew larger and
heavier than herself, and often knock
ed her down in his clumsy gambOls,
without in the least meaning it; she
was obliged to complain to her father,
and the pet pig went where all other
pigs go. He died and was buried in
the pork barrel.

The Mercy Seat.

The throne of grace and the mercy
seat are terms in very frequent use
among prayerful Christians Their
IsignifieatiOn is nearly anonymous
They both refer to the cover of the ark
of the covenant, before which the
Jewish high-priest, with solemn eere-
mOnial, appeared on the great day of
atOnement. Bearing in his hand the
golden bowl in which had been caught
the streaming blood of the slain lamb,
the high-priest entered the holy of
hOlies, and sprinkled the blood upon
and before the ark, and made suppli-
cation for the mercy end fOrgiying
grace of God. .a HE.
Under the Mosaic dispensatiOn the
high-priest alone could enter the sacred
place and approach the merey-seat,
but now, since Jesus, the great High
Priest of our profession, has entered
the heavens and removed the vail,
the trembling soul may venture into
the presence of God. Whatever COM
plaints thehumble, ,thOughHnwOrthy,
suppliant has to make may with con-
fidence be poured forth into the ear of
the Divine Savior; whatever desires
burden the heart may all be made
known to him whose pity for all his
children is as boundless as his love-
AT the blessed merey-seat relief may
be found when the worn spirh is per-
picked by the constant recurrence of
life's petty annOyances, or Overwhel-
med with floods of sorrow.
When there is no human ear willing
to listen TO our experience of trials
and temptations, when sympathy fails,
when no friendly hand grasps ours in
cheering fellowship, when disappOint-
ments, weakness, and pain are our
portion, then what precious refuge
IS the Throne Of heavenly grace.
at is the place where Jesus sheds
The oil Of gladness on our heads:
y place than all besides more sweet
II Is the blOOd-bougilt mercy seat"

York friends? President was dis
posed to do so, but prudentlyi suggest
ed the amount be passed TO the credit
of the firm. This did not comport
with our friends business ideas; good
humoredly he couldn't think of this !;
partner might die before they were
ialriy under way; no, no, it was a
private matter. IL he received it il
must be on those conditions, and he
smiled a happy, careless, shrewd
smile, the free masonry of which is so
well known in bank circles, and
which went direct to the Presidents
heart, who would only be 'tOO happy
to oblige." At the conclusion of this
pleasant interview the, two partners
strolled up the street. New York

there. New Orleans assented. He
would be back the day after tO-mor-

him if he happened to be a few min
utes late. Certainly partner would,
and he did. He waited the whole
day. He is waiting yet, and the en-
terprising merchant has yet to make
his appearance, either at the office or
anywhere else. Heidi dgOsOmewhere,
but before going he visited the bank,
and had another chat with the Presi-
dent, and walked off with the fifteen
thousand dollars. No suspicion was
aroused for two days, when inquiries
sent over the wires revealed the fact
that the letters and bills of exchange
were all forgeries, and the dashing
New Yorker a swindler. That firm
has since been dissolved. That bank
President has grown suspicious of all
knowing business men. He looks
sharper at visitors than of old, and his
depositOrs are beginning to complain
of discount strings being drawn tight.
The gloom hanging about the finan-
cial portals of his institution, and
vacant office with a roll of carpeting
to let on Carondelet street, is the sum
and result of all the brilliant anticipa-
tions of that firm with the new

Slnrs on Woman.

At a recent meeting in this city, at
which ne ladies were present, aman,
in responding to the toast on ''Wo-
man, T" dwelt almost solely on the frail
" of the sex, claiming that the best
among them were little better than
the worst, the chief difference being
in the surroundings. -.s.s..,
At the conclusion of the speech
gentleman present rose 10 his feet, and
said: f-r-s.5 " asf ar-a-1
II trust the gentleman, in the ap-
plication of his remark, refers to his
own mother and sisters, and not to
ours
The effect of this most just and
timely rebuke was overwhelming, the
maligner of woman was covered with
confusion and shame. 3 @
This incident serves an excellent
purpose in prefacing a few words
which we have for a long time had it
in our mind to say.
Of all the evils prevalent among
Young men, we know of none more
5iighting in its moral effects than the
tendency to speak slightingly of the
thing i'm which young men are so
lllOIOuEllN lllctdhcI d. tAAC'AOh NHlA-
mate they form of the integrity of wO-
men-nOt of their own mothers and
sisters, thank God, but of others, who,
they forget, are somebody else's moth
eTs and sisters.
As q rule. no person who surrenders
to this debasing habit is safe to be
trusted with any enterprise requiring
of character.
Plain words should be spoken on
this point, for the evil is general one,
and deep rooted. If young men are
thrown into the society Of
or lewd women, they have
no more right to measure all other wo-
men by what they see of these than
hey would have to estimate the char
acter of honest and respectable citi-
zens by the developments of crime in
luT police courts. -.-.Il
Let young men remember that their y
.hief happiness in life depends upon
heir utter faith in women. NOworld-
" wisoOm, no misanthrOPie philoso-
ply, no generalization, can cover or
weaken this fundamental Truth. II
stands like the record of God himself
for it is nothing less than thls-and

fps that are wont to speak slightingly

Go To FARSuNG.-A good living is
what comparatively few men succeed
in making in village or city life, and
yet nothing is more easy of accom-
plishment on farm. Besides, there
is a pleasure i'm cultivating and
embellishing the earth, improving
and increasing its products, and thus
adding to the aggregate Of human
happiness. Why, then should young
men hesitate to be farmers? ? IL is
both profitable and honorable. 1t is
the nearest approximation to indie
pendence that man rs a member of
society can make. A gentleman
farmer-and all farmers are or should
be, gentlemen-belOngs to an order of
nobility that is not indebted to place
holders for installation, and may, if
he chooses, be ranked among the
greatest benefactOrs of the human
race. Let all the idle young men go
to work on farms, and quit seeking
third and fourth rate clerkships. In
short. go to farming and quit begging.

/ A THoUGHT.-Along this path OF
life which we are travelling, there rea
so many crooks and abrupt turns so
many branches and dimly defined
courses; so many rough ascents and
precipitous deelevities so much of
human misery or happiness depend
ing upon whether we turn up this
broad street or down that other lane,
that it is folly to say, after having
jOurneyed so far, we would have been
more happy had we chosen some
other way. We may never know the
happiness or misery that lies along the
rejected paths of life. Let us rather
feel greatful for the little happiness
we have enjoyed, and the possible
innumerable ills we have escaped in
the path we have chosen to travel, or
in which the Fates have directed our
steps.

Among his workmen there was fell
low who was always singing "Rule
Britannia" and the rest of the jour-
neymen Joined in the chorus. The
tailor made his observations, and
found that the slow time of the tune
retarded the work; in consequence, he
engaged blind fiddler, and, placing
him near the workshop, made him
play constantly the lively tune OF

the desired effect; the tailors' elbows
moved obedient to the melody, and
the clothes were sent home within
the prescribed period.
