The squire and his Wife.

The Squire had friend to visit him on
business, and was very much annoyed at
being interrupted by his wife, who came ts
ask him what he wanted for dinner.
.Go awayi let US alone p impstiently
said the Squire.
Business detained the friend until after
dinner time and the Squire urged him to
remain.
The Squire was a generous provider,
proud of his table, ana he complacently es-
corted him to seat. A little to the sur
prise of both, they saw nothing on the
board, but huge dish of salad, which the
good wife began to dish up. fffKfg
"My dear" said the Squire, "where are
the meatsT
There are none to-day" replied the
lady.

"A few days afterwara the Squire remained
working in his garden some time after the
usual tea hour. His wife grew impatient
of the delay, and went to find him. His
excuse when asked what he was waiting for
threw her into futter of excitement.

claimed. ~

Behavior In Church.

we may CLASSIFY the petty lncivilitles OF
church life thus:
1. SMELLS Violent perfumes. especial.
ly those containing musk, are disagreeabls
to most persons, and to some positively
distressing. There is no smell so univer-
sally pleasing rs no smell. Never scent
yourself when going into crowded assem-
bly,. The same is true of the residuary
NELL OF tobacco which hangs about the
garments and aflicts the breath of those
who habitually suo e. But tobacco almost
invariably makes men self-indulgent and
regardless of others convenience. More
brutal yet are they who go to church reek-
ing. like q Dutchman's soup, with the
smell of onions. There are scores of peo-
pie who have lost all profit of Sunday SER
vice by the sickening smells which sur
rounded them.
2. SOUNDS. in church dur
ing the service is an sffroit 10 politeness.
Much Of the coughing which goes on in
church arises from the poisonous gases and
personal efliuvia which exist in unventil-
lated churches. But the power OF the Will
over the muscles which do the coughing is
very great. A needless person will cough
twice as much as is needful-will cough at
the worst time possible, will cough plump

stead of embalming the sound in his hand
kerchief as, with little skill and polite
ness, he might easily do. We would not
forbid men who cannot sing to make IA
joyful noise"-but it should be softly
noise. In all cases when it is o man duty
to sleep in church, it is his duty also to
snore with the soft pedal down.
3. SIeHT.-Every one likes to see the
minister. 1t cannot be done through your
body. True, yon cannot help being before
somebody, unless you are on he back seat
But. with little thought, you may very
much help those behind you. Any conduct
which shall divert the attention of others
from the service. such as osteI.atious play
ing with a watch or opening an3 shutting
1T, reading books or papers, looking about
inquisitively, is impolite.
Many churches have the Ten Command
ments set up upon the wall, in sight of the
whole congregation. although not one of
the sins reprobated is likely to be commit
ted in church time. Would it not be well
to have another tablet, enumerating the
sins which men are prone to commit in
church time?

Significance Of n Wink.

Smith, the arctioneer, is popular man,
a wit, and gentleman. No person is
offended at what he says, and many a hear
ty laugh has been provoked by his sayings.
He was recently engaged in the sale OF
venerable household furniture and fixings
He had jus. got to ''going, going, and q
hall, going" when he saw smiling coun-
tenance on agricultural shoulders, smile at
him.
A wink is as good as nod to blind
horse or a sharp-sighted auctioner, SO
Smith winked, and the man winked. and
Smith kept ''going. going" with lot OF
stove-pipes, glassware, carpets, pots and
perfumery, and finally this lot was knocked
down.

smiling stranger.

TIE CoMINo SxsrEM OF EDUCATION Il am
as convinced as man can be that the sys-
tenn OF public education is on the eve of a
very extensive. reform. The, world has
been taught words dictated BY authority
thus far. The world needs knowledge and
training in independent thought, and it is
only the study of nature which will give rs
the last. But am satisfied that the basis
of the future of education will be the con-
temptation of the works of nature-no
longer the study of the languages, no
longer the study of the human mind, no
longer the process of mathematical reason
ing, for though they must form part of a
liberal education, they should come after

four, one Of them, which is generally the
case. being a small runt, as they call then.
George teld the old man he would take a
pig for his money; the old man said he
might have the small one. George jumped
into the pen and seized the largest pig
The old man shouted: "Take the small
oner Let him squeal, said George; 'I
can hold him" The old man, excited:
Take the small one r. ''Ill risk his BIT

RISK OF GREAT EATARs.-Dr. Hall says
that great eaters never live long. vora-
eious appetite, SO far from being q sign Of
good health, is certain indication of dis
ease. Some dyspeptics are always hungry
and feel better when eating; but az soon as
they have finished eating they endure tor
ments SO distressing in their nature as to
make the unhappy victim wish for death.
The appetite of health is that which is
inclined to eat moderately when eating
time comes, and which, when satisfied.
leaves no unpleasant reminders. Multi
tudes measure their health by the quantity
they eat; and out Of ten persons, nine are
graifed with an increase Of weight. when
in reality it indicates an increase in dis
ease, showing that the absorbents of the
system are too weak to discharge their du-
ty, and the tendency to fatness, to obesity.
increases until existence becomes bur-
den, and sudden death closes the painful
history.

THE Mason 4 HAMLIS ORGAN Co.-In
the course Of less than twenty years this
Company have grown from very small be-
ginning, to be the most celebrated and ex-
.ens;ve makers Of instruments of the Organ
Nelodeon kind in the world, produc-
siid finding demand for several times as
ally Instruments as any other makers.
-Four large elephant tusks must he cut no
every week to supply them with ivory for
keys; so they must be said to consume two
large elephants per week. Their Organs
rank highest, not oDly in this country. but
also in Europe, where the demand for them
is rapidly increasing.
This remarkable success is undoubtedly
owing greatly TO their superior skill in this
speciality and TO the very important I'M
provements they have effected in this class
of Instruments; but it is the result. almost
IN equal measure, perhaps, of adherence
to. and energetic pursuits of certain prin-
ciples. lnfiexible rules with them are Q)
to do the Uery best lDoTic only, availing them
selves of every Improvement, and being
careful to suffer no inferior instrument to
leave their factory; and (2) to sell always
at smallest remunerative profits, havinR
fixed prices which are alike 20 all.
Any one buying an Organ made by this
Company has the satisfaction of knowing
that he has one OF the best instruments of
the class which can be made, and this at
the lowest price at which such work can be
Afforded.
