PLAIN IT A LITTLE MoRE.-A good minis
ter had long preached to congregation of
average culture viii, little apparent good

day morning, after he lad finished writing his
weekly sermon, the thought occurred to him
to go down stairs and read it to his pious,
silnple-hear.ed domestic. perhaps" said he,
II shoot too high" Calling her from her
work, he read few sentences selected as
containing the clearest announcement {" the
truth which the sermon was intended to convey
and asked her, "Do you understand that"
mo, sir" was her reply. Hc then extern
porzcd the same idea in simpler language,
and asked her again, "Do you understand that"
"a little" was her answer-kindling with an
interest which proved the truth of her words,
''but please, Sir, plain II a title more" Once
more he expounded his original thought. in
the most lucid manner and with the fewest
and shortest words he could think Of when
she exclaimed with great delight-"I see it all
now, sir, and like it very much" He went
up stairs, rc.wrote his discourse, as nearly as
possible in the same style which he had used
in his experiment; and went to church next
morning, almost trembling, lest his people
would be disgus;es with his preaching. To
his amazencnt the very first sentence seemed
to awaken listening, such as he had never
before been able to secure. And, as he went
on, he could see one eye after another mois-
tening, until almost his whole congregation
were visible touched as he had never seen
them before, and as the result of that service,
more than one came TO him to enquire, What
must | dol" The effect upon his own mind
was such that he changed his style of preach
ing from that time thoroughly; declaring that

s.DON sPLATT, DANIEL WEBSTER AND

capital for the first time, a green, awkard
youth, given TO unheard of blunders, and liza
bic abuse. Sharpers looking at me said ,''He
is down go for it," A cab driver did. He
drove me in that funny old affair that had one
horse in front and a door behind, and nc, end
of rascality between in the person of the driv-

hotel, and charged five dollars. He could as
well have charged me hundred. He had

SO insolcnt.
And this reminds me that the first time
saw the great New England expounder Of the
constitution, Daniel Webster, he was under
going the same process of insolent cxaction.
Cabby had deposited the great embodiment
the two hundred pounds of meat, learning aud
cloquence-and then ventured to demand his
fare. The sodlike Daniel either had not the
necessary coin, or declined producing it, for he
stalkcd over the pavement to the door followed,
by the man, who urged, vociforcusly, immc-
diate liquidation. Suddenly Daniel turned on
the steps, and bringing to bear his heavy brow
and cavernous eyes upon the creature, said, in
deep, fearful voice:
Fellow, do you dare to dun me ?"
And the follow sunk into his boots aud re-
treated.

and happened to be killed 10y railroad

y WoMAN's FRIENDsnIP.-It is a won
drous advantage to man, in every pursuit or
vocation, to secure an adviser in "a sensible
woman. In woman there is at once a subtle
dclicacy of tact, and plain soundness of judg.
ment, which are rarely combined to an equal
degree in man. a woman, if she be really
your friend, will have sensitive regard for
your character, honor, repute. She will sci
dom counsel you to do shabby things, for a
woman friend always desires to be proud of
you. At the same time her constitutional
timidity makes her more cautious than your
male friend. She, therefore, seldom counsels
you to an imprudcnt thing. i mans best
femal Vriend is wife of good sense and heart
whom he loves, and who loves him. But,
supposing the man to be without such help.
mate, female friendship he must still have or
his intellect will be without garden, and
there will be many an unhcedcd gap, even in
its strongest fence. Better and safer. of course,
are such friendships, where disparity of years,
or circumstances, puts the idea of love out of
tho question. Middle life mas rarely this
advantage; youth and old age have. We may
have female friendships with those much older,
and those much younger, than ourselves
Fcmale friendship is to man, the bulwark,
sweetness, ornament, of his existence.

ecaled in ibsr dress, while at night she hid it
beneath her pillow. This conrtant solicitude
soon had its effects upon her dreams. She
frequently f,tc;ed iu her sleep that hand
was thrust stsalthly under her head to steal
her trersttre, aud would start up crying, "My
cross my uroes r. $50 s se,l-..t
!. Again she would dream that her tiny cross
had grown to such huge proportions that its
weight was crushing her, and she would wakcn
trembling aud exhausted with her, frantic ef-
forts to tear it from her.
Thus gradually, she was learning that the
jcweled cross she had so coveted, was a heavy
cross to bear, and with this bitter lesson came
thoughts ofanuther cross, higher and holier
aud she remembered that one had said: Take
up thy cross aud follow me-"
1t was winter of great severity, and in all
tile larger cities there was much suffering
among the poor for lack of food and fuel
The daily papers tecmcd with accounts of the
dcstitution that prevailed; and among the
many whose hearts were moved with sympathy
for the sufferers was Agnes, the owner of the
diamond cross. All thelnloney she could call
her own was chcerfally given, bu: il was only
a triflc,a at tho most aud she sighed to think
how little it would accomplish where SO much
was needed. Suddenly she recalled her un-
cle's words: "1f this gift ever becomes indeed
u cross, do not hesitate to dispose of it." Had
1T not become in very truth cross? Yet she
had. priced it SO deary-hcr beautiful treasure

pawning it, much less of parting with it for
ever. But the thought of the good she might
accomplish clung to her day and night. and in
her heart there seemed to be n voice saying
Garry thy cross to him who bore the cross for
thee, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven"
+, The jcwelcr looked somewhat puzzled when
Agnes stood at his counter Que winter morn
ing and asked him if he were willing to take
back the diamond cross. But diamonds had
risen in value since the cross was purchased,
and he readily paid her the sum that had been
named az its price few months previous
and before the day vase done the DIAMOND
cross had carried sunshine aud plenty into
ninDy tarkened nnd destitute home.
r 1t was soon known that the cross was again
offered for sale, and numerous were the sur
miscs AT to the possible mot that had in
duced Agnes to part with it, but they were all
far wide of tho truth, for the young girl had
disposed her charity so quietly that few knew
to what use the proceeds of her unclc's gift
had been appropriated.
With Her ii was the opening of new era.
In laying down her cross of diamonds she had
taken up that of an earnest, self sacrificing life,
and thenceforth she carried in her heart the
consciousness of blessing others, and of being
..rich toward Gods s. Teacher.
