DEACON W was staid and honest
eacon who had q vein Of dry caustic
bumor in his composition. The deacon
had boy of some dozen summers, who
was somewhat inclined TO be little ugly
when not under the parental eye. In
school, especially, John was source OF
constant annoyance to his teacher. One
day the teacher punished him for some
misdemeanor, and John went home to
enter his complaint, and told his father
that the mistress had whipped him.
"Whst r. exclaimed the deacon, elevst-
ing his eyebrows. "been whippedi"
"Y.a.a-s," sobbed the boy.
And did ye let woman whip yer"
shouted the old deacon.
"Ya-ss Icouldn't help it,"
swell, John, you little rascal, yon 90
to school tomorrow, and If Miss E ---
undertakes TO whip ye again, you just
pitch in; don't let woman whip ye
again If you can help it, Don't take any
stick to strike with, but ye may strike,
bite, scratch, and kick as much as you
have mind to-"
The next day the boy went to school,
and, emboldened by the permission given
him by his father, was soon brought be-
fore the tribunal of violated rules. TIE
teacher undertook to correct him, and be
did as his father had told him. The re-
suit was that John got most unmerci-
full trouncing, and was thoroughly CUB
dued. When he went home he went to
his father crying:
"Well, dad, / got an awful bad licking
again to day"
Whatr said the old deacon, shave
you let that woman whip ye sgaini"
"Y.a.as," said the bay.
"Y-a.as," chuckled the humorous old
deacon, you tarnal little fool, knew
she would, and she'll give you t,ounciDg
every time she undertakes it. and al.
wise you to behave yourself in the future"
John began To have some perception 81
his fathers motive, and ever after was q
better and wiser boy.

The Midnight sun.

A LITTER dated at Hammerfest, Nor.
way, July IL, is published in the Rpangsl
ist. The writer, who is Rev. DR.. Daniel
March, says:
cit il midnight by my watch, midnight
by the watches Of my travelling compsn-
ions, midnight by the ships chronometer,
midnight by our reckoning OF time on
our ships voyage, and yet the sun is shin.
ing directly In the north, full -orbed and
as full Of light as when within an hour OF
setting in clear sky in America. / look
down beautiful lord, between two walls
OF dark mountains and a calm, bright SEE,
and in the utmost limit of the view Is the
great orb Of day pouring flood Of golden
light upon the water, kindling the fleeing
clouds above him with all the hues Of the
rainbow, crowning the dark ridges of the
mountains with rosy tints, and
covering tie whole face Of land
and sea With calm, sacred, awful
beauty, such as I have never beheld
in any other region of the earth. 1t seems
as II / had climbed 50 high up the ridge
OF the round world that could see over
into the secret chambers where the king
most afraid 10 look at the awful monarch
while he 10 putting on his robes Of bright.
ness and preparing to 60 forth and shine
upon the SUBJECT world. 1t seems as ii
had intrudet with rude and impertinent
curiosity int, the secret place OF the king
Of light, and that he might punish the in.
trusion by shifting me with blindness.
Never could this strange sight of the mid
night sun b. seen to greater advantage.
The ship ertered this beautiful ford just
in time to dive us the best possible posi-.
ton for belolding the two things which
once seen sre never to be forgotten-the
sun Ut u,idni2ht, and the sun directly In
the north.

the north pole. The scenery all the way
from Bodo, and, indeed, all the way from
Tnrondjem, has been most wonderful In
variety and beauty. The steamer does
not 90 ont to sea ut all, but passes from
ford TO ford; and from island to island,
always bringing as within view Of bold
hesdlsnds, and jagged peaks, and quiet
ard green banks aud meedows, and sill.
yer cascades leaping down the mountain
side, and snowy peaks and blue glaciers,
all mingled, changing and multiplied In
endless variety and succession. 1t Ia a.
If Lake Winnipiseogee and Lakes George
and Killarney, and Como, and Gencys,
and Lucerne, and Maggiore, and 70 others
were all connected, and twisted, and link

and steamer should take us through
them all. The LnfodOn are especially
beautiful beyond aIl description"

"DD you all eat your breakfast this
morning 2" asked . teacher OF his scholars
when they came up to gay their LESSONS.
"Yes, sir; to be sure We did" saidthey
SHOW long time do You think was
required to prepare 1T"
Various were the answers given TO this
question, but from half an hour 70 an hour
was the average time mentioned:
SHOW, did you ever think" replied
the teacher, "that It requires more years
than any of you can counsf"
"How can that be-" asked Rob. my
mother called me up before ak O'Clock TO
kindle the fire and we had breakfast over
by seven and I'm sure that wasn't ono
year, let alone many years."
"Well, let us consider little. What
did you eat for your breakfast, Roberti"
"Bread, and meat, and butter, and COT
fec, and milk, and
aThere, that will do to begin with.
First, your bread-how long did 1t take
to make 1t ?"
20, know" said Mary; another
mixed it up at night and kneaded It out
and baked 1t the next morning So It
took Just twelve hours to make It."

"Flour, Of course"
"And the fiourl"
"Out of wheat"
chow long was the wheat growing DO
fore it became ripe enough to make into
foure"
any papa" said Dick, "planted our
cut 1t down the next July; SO that makes
nino months"
"Then, lust to get your bread you had
to wait at least nine months for it to grow;
and 80 for that part Of your breakfast ono
year was required to get 1t ready. Then
the meat you ate was from beef perhaps
ten years old, and 80 it took ten years TO
get that part ready. Now, what do you
say a. TO your selt?"
40, we can get that already made. My
geography says it is dug out OF the earth
or boiled down from salt water; 20 We
don't need to raise salt"
"NO; but when was the salt nader
In the beginning God created the heaven
and the EARTH and II was then that the
salt was made, even before Adam lived;
so that part Of your breakfast was pre-
pared and has been ready for you more
than six thousand years. 30 with the
water you drink. But II much of your
food were not cooked you could not eat
IT, Now, what do you use to cook It
withf"
Some said wood and some said coal.
"But." continued the teacher, "cven your
flrewood needs scores Of years to perfect
It's growth and as for your coal no one
knows how many centuries ago. 1t was
made. Thus you see how God made
provision for you thousands Of years be-
fore you were born; how He stored up
the fuel TO burn, and water TO drink, ana
salt to season with; how He planted the
timber, and made the grasses to grow, and
formed the beasts, and birds, and fishes
for your use, and gave you dominion over
the seas and the land; and all these
things He wants you TO enjoy. Learn
from this of how much worth He &C.
counts you, TO say nothing Of His great
cat and best gift, that Of his own Son! Do
you not think Him deserving OF youc
