A Clerical Wood Sawyer.

DR.. Beecher depended upon constant
manual labor for keeping up his own
health; and in Boston, where he could
not enjoy the luxury of a garden to dig
in, he was often puzzled to find means to
keep himself in good working order
The consequence was that he sawed all
the wood for his own large family, and
often finding that too little, would beg
the privilege of saving at the wood pile
of a neighbor. He was fastidious in the
care of his wood-saw, having it always
at hand in his study, half concealed
among minutes of councils, magazine ar
ticles and sermons, and the setting Of his
saw was often duly accomplished while
he settled nice points of theology with
his boys, or took counsel with his brother
ministers. Looking out of his study
window one day, when his own wood-pile
was reduced to discouraging state Of
order-every stick sawed and split-he
saw, with envy, the pile Of old w. in the
street. Forthwith he seized his saw, and
soon the old sawyer of the street beheld
man without cravat, and In his SHIRT
sleeves, issuing from DIR. Beecher's house,
who came briskly up and asked if he
wanted hand at his pile; and forthwith
went to work with right good will, and
soon proved to his brother sawyer that
he was no mean hand at the craft.
Nodding his head significantly at the
opposite house, w. said, "You live
there Work for the old man :" Yes"
"What sort of an old fellow is he "
"Oh, pretty much like the rest of us.
Good man enough to work for. y Tough
old chap, amt he Guess so, to them
that try to chaw him up
So the conversation went on, till the
wood went SO fast with the new Gomez
that w. exclaimed, first rate saw, thai
of vour'n." This touched the doctor il
a tender point. He had set that saw a
carefully as the articles of his creed
every tooth was critically adjusted, anC
so he gave a smile oftriumph. " l say,
said w" where can l get a saw lik
that?" "I don't know, unless you bu.
; mine.l "Will you trade? What do yo'
ask ? , az don't know. I'll think abou
it. Call at the house tomorrow, and III
tell you."
The next day the old man knocked
: and met the doctor at the door, fires
5 from the hands of his wife, with his Goa
e brushed, and cravat tied, going out t
: pastoral duty.
e w. gave start of surprise. "Oh,
said the doctor, you're the man ths
d wanted to buy my saw. Well, you sha
e have it for nothing-only let me hay
r some of your wood to saw when you wor
Il on my stree"
w. said he felt as if he wanted
