a banquet from off fellow. man, cutting
steaks out of him and eating them. And
that is aothing but feastiug on the hu-
man body; while they all will sit down
and take a mans soul and bo8 for the

A Coop RULE.-A certain man,
who is very rich now, was very poor
when boy; and when asked how he
got his riches, he said:
"My farther taught me never to plsy
till my work was finished, and never to
spend my money until I had earned it.
If had but an hours work in day,
I must do that the first thing and in an
hour. And after this I was allowed to
play, and then I could play with much
more pleasure than if I had the thought
ofan unfinished task before my mind.
l early formed the habit Of doing evry'
thing in time, and it soon became easy
for me to do so. 1t is to this I owe
my prosperity"
Let all of our litsle readers remember
this and do likewise, if they want to
succeed in this life. ):

OEiuG, OF rHE PoTATo.-Therc afe
several speci"s Of potato described as
growing wild i" Mexico, and one OF
r;,cSe, the so'cnun vcrre. osrn', is said 10
produce very pala'able but small tube'7
o.. civilized species probably came
rom Chill.
Tie word potato comes 10 US from The
SPANISH bc:'a'o, and the Spanish got il
from the Indian pGpcs.
She da,e Of the introduc' ion Of The po-
LILO into Englandis is renderedt dtapcertaiq.
probably by confouuding the sweer pota'
70 with tie common potato. There is 90
doubi tha; the potato was cultivated in
Sou;h America by the Indians, before
ne discovery of Chill by the Europeans.
The cultivated plan found its way to
he Carolina and Virginia, and Sir
Walter Raleigh took i, 10 England in
1886.
The tutcr of the native potato never
exceed two inches in length, and is insi-
pid TO the taste, but oot bitter. It las
bccu supposed TO be naturally sea shore
plan;, peculiar to hilly and rockey soils.
The frsi particular cannot be true of all
esculent Motive potatoes. The potato
loves such cool, uniform, moist and long
season as may be found in some parts
and attitudes ofthe tropics. But its won
derful constitutional vigor has enabled
il to be transplanted in oil parts Of the
c.rth, until it is now considered the
most important of all esculent, roots,
and next in value to cereals as an article
Of human subsistence.

Your PREAcHEE.-The editor being
absent at Conference, and the Printer
having undisputed possession of the an
"easy chair" he has concluded to give
the readers Of the Neiyhbor few
thoughts on the reception and treatment
OF the preacher:
l. In all probability, your pastor is a
stranger to his charge. If so, when he
comes to your church, do not avoid him
and keep at distance from him, as if
you were afraid ofhim; but meet him
cheerfully, introduce yourself and ex-
tend to him, as servant of God, a cor
dial welcome to your heart, your affec-
tions and Jour 6Ieside. This looks like
small matter; but the manner in
which the preacher is received by his
charge often affects his usefulues.
2. Receive him prayerfaUy, that his
health may be preserved and his labors
abundantly blessed. Look to God in
faith, expecting his blessing, and it will
surely come.
8. Receive him with q resolution to
"hold up his hands," by your prayers,
your sympathy. your purse, your time
and your talents. At the pray-meeting,
the class-meeting, stewards meeting (if
an official member) and at every other
service in the church, be at your post,
ready fer any work that may devolve
upon you. By SO doing, the present
Conference year may be one of the most
gracious and pleasant ever spent by pas
tor and people.

Instead of going quietly away or ma
king some apology, he few into vio-
lent passion. He hissed and spit, then
rushed after the old cock and boxed
him violently on each side Of his head,
as though his own carelessness were in
no manner TO blame.
I think I have seen good many boys
and girls like pussy.

"Where ?"
"Well, on the shelf, and I didn't see

we're the injured party.
.'John, you have run over the beds
in the garden, and troddcn down the
little plants just as they were coming up.
How could you be so careless?'

way! / wish l could ever have any
peace Of life!' says john, as though hn
were the sufferer, and not tie doer Of

"Bother the old roses! !" says Henry,

"dou't think they pay. Those bars
have stood there thirty years; aud
I'd like to see the gate that would stand
half the banging"
Take the whole year through, how

and rebuild all the fences on your 100
acre farm every six years. Truly, neigh
