evil genius tempted him still farther
from the right path. The whole of his
butter with the exception of some ten
Jumps, which were to serve as a screen
when the clerk came along, was mould
ed into prints that weighed considera-
bly, less than a pound. With this,
among other products of his farm Ed
mOnds went to market, fattering him
self that he would be clear gamer
by the operation, of from two to three
dollars.
But human calculations are some
times vain. Scarcely had farmer Ed
monds disposed of dozen pounds of
fresh butter, when the market clerk
stopped before him with his handsome
brass scales in his hand and said,
q guess | must go little deeper
into your tub this morning than usual,
friend Edmonds. There's nothing
like keeping you folks honest" "
Thnrn urno on instant change in the
expression of the farmers face, which
the clefk did not fail to observe. Set
ting down his basket, with the air of
one who expected to put something
into it, the clerk laid aside the upper
stratum of butter, and took a print
from beneath. Placing it in his scales
In opposition to pound weight, it
arose instantly towards the ceceding
beam.
"That's badY said he, removing the
lump Ofbutter to his baskets and placing
another in the scale, which proved as
light as its predecessor, and was soon
laid by its side. And lump after lump
followed, to the grief and chagrin Of
the exposed farmer, until between
thirty and forty had passed from his
tub to the basket Of the clerk. Dur
ing the progress Of the scene a crowd
was attracted, all of whom from the
merry newaboy to the staid guardian
of the poor, who made a careful exam
lnatiOn OF the tub, to see how much
the inmates of the alms-house were to
gain by the operation, enjoyed the
cOuntryman' modification. He,poor
fellow, hid his diminished head as
quickly as it could be done after the de-
parture OF the clerk, and went back to
his home little wiser if not better.
"You met with bad accident last
week" said Mr. g. to the farmer
He could not resist the inclination he
felt to see him once more.
"Why, ye-yes," stammered Ed
monds, coIoring to the eyes. But it
wasn't my butter it was some | had
OF a neighbor.'
"Indeed-was it?" Then l sup
pose the butter that | have had for the
last two months was from the dairy

Edmonds was so confused at this
unexpected qustion that ne was unable
to reply.

The farmer turned his back sudden
ly upon his customer, and the latter
feeling that he had punished him suth
cientIy, went on his way.
Butter that proves light Of weigh
always belongs to a neighbor.

Surgeons Views Of Communion.

No name is to-day more illustrious
in the Baptist denomination than that
of Charles FL. Spurgeon. His bril-
liant talent, extraordinary eloquence,
tervent zeal, devoted piety and won
derful success, have won for him a
world wide reputation. His sermons
have been published in this country,
both in books and newspapers, by
hundreds of thousands. His is the
largest Baptist church, we believe, III
the world. The views of such a
Baptist, therefore, on the subject of
commission, are of peculiar interest.
1t is we'll known that he is an advo-
cate of open communion, and that
such is the practice Of his church,
His views on this subject have been
omitted from his sermons-we will
not say with how much or how little
nOneSLly--Dy the close communion
American Baptist publishers; but
they are found freely expressed in
the English editions.
In a sermon, for instance, on the
text, "These be they who separate
themselves" Jude 19,) we find a
very strong expression in favor of
open communion. This, in the Amer
lean edition is one Of the mutilated
sermons; but the English edition,
besides other pungent sentences. con
talns the following forcible and elo-
quent plea for unity at the Lords
table:
There is not a Christian beneath
the scope OF Gods heaven from whom
| am separated. At the Lords table,
| always invite all Christian to come
and sit down and commune with US.
If any man were to tell me that
separate from the EpiscopaIian, the
Presbyterian, or the Methodist, |
would tell him he did not know me,
for | love them with a pure heart
fervently, and | am not separate from
them
This from their acknowledged lead
er, bears rather hard on our strict
communion Baptists. l should not
like to say anything hard against
them, but they are really separating
themselves from the great body Of
Christ's people. They separate them
selves from the great universal Church.
They say they will not commune
with it; and if any one comes to
their table who has not been baptised
they turn him away. The pulse of
the Church is communion; and woe
to the Church that seeks to cure the
ills Of Christ's Church by stopping
its pulse
But hear Spurgeon in conclusion:

Eating. When Exhausted.

When strength of norye power ia
already worn out or used up, the di-
gestion of food only makes n fresh
demand upon il, and IL it be unable
to meet the demand, the fsod Is only
a burden upon 1t, producing mischief.
Our bodies have been compared to
steam engines, the food being the
fuel and the steam produced the
nerve power. The analogy holds
good to @ certain extent. III when
the steam Is low because the fire Is
low you pile In too fast a quantity OF
coal, you put out your fire, and liz you
have depended upon steam power to
fan your fires, that Is also extin-
guished.
Beyond this the comparison fails.
You may clean out your furnaces and
begin again, but In the body tile
consequences Of this overlooking are
dangerous and sometimes fatal. No
cause of cholera is more common
than eating freely wien exhaust
ed.
The rule should be to rest for a
time and take some simple refresh
ment, cup or part of cup Of tea,
o little broth, or even piece Of
bread, anything simple aud I'm small
amount, just to stim ilate the stom-
ach slightly aud begin to restore Its
power. After rest, a moderate guam
tity will be refreshing.
Never eat q full meal when you are
exhausted. Take first small guam
tity Of anything simple which may
be handy and rest. Then, after u
time, proper food will bc blessing,
not burden. The fires Will burn,
the steam will be up, and you can 20
on your way safely.
