THE PRIMDALE CLUB ON
MINISTERIAL L1BOR.
BY CHARLES W. JENKINS.

The Dirigo Club-having blossomed
meanwhile into the 'Prmdale Reform
Club met at Mrs. .Smoothly's last week.
After the ladies had spent the usual
amount of time in disposing OF their
"thngs.n and the gentlemen. standing
near the fire. had comfortably abused the
weather, Mrs. Slocum introduced the
above topic. as follows:
Mrs. Slocum. Misses Spinyarn
had long story to tell after the break
ing up of our last meeting by their arriv-
al. Their first statement was this. Mr..
Kipp lately went to the new bowling al
ley in the gymnasium and played five
games of ten-pins with Jack Brown.
Blaze.-That is no worse in my opinion
than playing base ball with the boys, as
he did almost every Saturday aitern oon
last summer.
Mrs. Sl0cum.-Deacon Crab had ro-
monstra,ed with him and told him if he
wanted exercise, there was Widow
Twomites' woodpile and nobody TO saw
the wood.
Mrs. Snloothly.-By the way, caught
Mr.. Kipp in the act OF paying for that
cord of wood for the widow, and he aflcr-
wards tried hard to get Deacon Grab to
hire jim Needwork to saw it.
Mrs. Siocum.-Tho minister replied
that he not only wanted exercise, but al.
so wished to drive the devil of the play
ing-ground, where he had no more right
than in the church-which the Misses
Spinyarn thought very irreverent kind
OF talk The deacon then said that he
thought the pastor would lose his inllu-
ence if he frequented the gymnasium and
associated with such fellows as Jack
Brown. "On the contrary" said Mr.. X.
"that is just the way gain influence. -
Then the deacon asked if it was dignified
for man of God to engage in the trivial
tiles of this world. "My dear SIR" said
Mr.. Kipp, II am no more man of God
than you ought to be. and there is moth
ing in this world SO trivial rs making
money without putting it TO noble pur'
pose. There is more religion in playing
bowls with Jack Brown, without betting,
cheating, drinking and swearing, and
thus helping him to leave off those evil
ways, than beholding ones natural face in
one of my sermons on covctousness and
then going ones way and siraightway
forgetting what manner of man one is"
Blaze.-Dont you think that the parson
might have coated his tortiter in re little
thicker with the suaviter in n,odo?
Mr.. LoreU.-It is not worth while to
coax child who is bound not to swallow
anything.
Mrs. Slocum.-My friends also gave an
account of the pastors last interview
with the parish committee. After Dea,
Grab had stated the difficulty in raising
the salary, and Mr.. X. had replied that

For the Oxford Democrat.
THINGS THAT MEYER DIE.

N never dies-a mother'sten love
strengthens with every III that may hetide;
In every phaze OF life it's waters move
With current strong, and fathomless and wide
From the hearts altar other flames may rise,
And while they seem as warm, and bright and
high,
The incense OF one lives TO reach the skies,
AmOther's holy love can never die.
They never die-Thc songs OF other days.
Tho unstrung harps all covered DER with dust
Are in some rambling store-house laid away
With many other wrecks Of love aud trust
AT eyentide when We are calm and still
Each harp throws of its dust with gentle sigh,
And voices heard before, our chambers oil
With songs OF other days, that never die.
II never dies-the bow Of promise set
In every landscape be it black or fair,
There's hope for all upon life's billow yet,
: Dor God himself has placed the token there -
Tho overwhelming storms of wind and rain
Chase every sunbeam from the pilgrims sky,
After much peril will geam forth again
The rainbow Of the ark, that cannot die.
1t never dies-the memory of the wrong
Done to an innocent and trusting heart
Tho outwardly it seemeth well, and strong,
A sting is there, which never can depart;
Time o'er the spo; may weave fair new skin.
And every trace be hidden from the eye,
Bu; all the agony is closed within,
And wounds thus healed, are never known TO jie
They never die-the kindly deed, and word
Given to the needy without pomp, or pride;
Sooner or later they reap their reward,
Who pass not over to the other side;"-
And crumbs thus cast upon the sea oflife
May not return. as man is sailing Ger,
But when he rests from all this wearing strife,
He'll fnd the loaves upon the other shore.
They never die-;he moon, and stars. and sun
Have shone upon the wicked. and the just.
Since Gods most glorious handwork was done,
And man arose so mighty from the dust;
For when We close our eyes upon this world,
To open them in mansions strong, and high,
The same blue banner will De unfurled
With sun, and moon, and stars that never die.
