A CHINESE SERMoN.-Thc follow
ing discourse by converted Chinese
tailor, with reference to the relative
merits of Confucianism, Buddhism, and
Christianity, is worth preserving: A
man had fallen into deep, dark pit.
and lay in its miry bottom, groaning
and utterly unable to move. Confu-
cius walked by, approached the edge
of the pit, and said, Poor fellow! |
am very sorry for you. Why we're
you such a fool as to get IN there ?
Let me give you piece OF advice !:
If you ever get out don't get in
again." al can't get out!' groaned
the man. A Buddhist priest next came
by, and said, Poor fellow! / am
very much panied to see you there
| think if you could scramble up two
thirds of the way, or even half, l could
reach you, and lift you up the rest. =
But the man in the pit was entirely
helpless, and unable to rise. Next
the Saviour came by, and, hearing his
cries, went to the very brink OF the
pit, stretched down and laid hold Of
the poor man, brought him up, and
said: "Go and sin no more"

The Old Barn.
Rickety, old and crazy,

Rickety, old and crazy,
Shingeless, lacking some doors
Bad in the upper story,
Wanting boards in the floors;
Beams strung thick with cobwebs,
Ridge-pole yellow and gray,
Hanging in helpless innocence
Over the mows of hay.
How the winds turned around 1t
Winds ola stormy day
Scattering the fragrant hay seed,
Whisping the straws away;
Streaming in at the crannies,
Spreading the clover smell,
Changing the dark old granery
Into flowery dell
Oh, how l loved the shadows
That clung to the silent roof,
Day-dreams wOve with the quiet.
Many glittering woof;
climbed to the highest rafter,
Watched the swallows at play,
Admired the knots in the boarding,
And rolled in the pillows of hay!
Palace Of King couldn't match it,
The Vatican loses its charm
When placed in my memoory's balance,
Beside the old gray barn
Splendor. wealth, may not charm us,
Association is all
We love the home of our childhood
Better than marble floOred hall.
l sat for hours in the summer
On the threshold grey,
And saw the cows in pasture
Take their lazy-paced away;
The lambs snow white as the daisies,
Frolicked from hill to tarn-
Or fell asleep IN the shadow
Made by the "cleyer' old barn.
I've roamed DER the Southern country,
Stood in mosques of the East.
Galloped in the Western prairies,
Gathered IN contentment at last
And I'd rather scent the clover,
Piled in the barns roomy mows,
Than sit in the breath of the highlands
Poured from Appenine brows!

Mark Twain produces one Of the
most striking cases of meanness on
record. He says he knows of an in-
corporated society which hired man
to blast rock, a ID he was punching
powder in hole with crowbar when
premature explosion followed, send
ing the man and crowbar out OF sight.
Both came down again all right, and
the man went to work again promptly.
Bnt though he was gone only ffteen
minutes the company docked him for
lost time. @ F4h sW ASsN

PLAIN IT \ LITTLE MORE.-A good
minister had long preached to a con-
gregation of average culture with lit
tie apparent good result. Thinking
the matter over, one Saturday morn
ing, after he had finished writing his
weekly sermon, the thought occurred
to him to 60 down stairs and read it
to his pious, simple-hearted domestic.
Perhaps, said he, II shoot too high. )"
Calling her from her work, he read a
few sentences, selected as containing
the clearest announcement of the truth
which the sermon was intended to con-
vcy, aud asked her "DO you under
stand that ?' "No, sir" was the re
ply. He then eXtemporized 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 it little 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 see it all now, sir,
aud like it very much" He went up
stairs, re-wrOte his discourse, as near
ly 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 dis
gustcd with his preaching. To his
amazement, the very first sentences
seemed to awaken a listening, such as
he had never before been able to Sc.
cure. And, as he went on, he could
/ see one eye after another moistening
until almost his whole congregation
were visibly touched as he had never
seen them before. and as the result o.
that service, more than one came tc
him to inquire, "What must l dor

BEAUTIFUL ALLEGORY.-Once on "a
time little leaf was heard to sigh and
cry, as leaves often do, when a gentle
wind is about. And the twig said:
What is the matter, little leaf?"
The wind" said the leaf, @just told
me that one day it would pull me off,
and throw me down to the ground to
die
The twig told it to the branch on
which it grew, and the branch told it
to the tree. And when the tree heard
it, it rustled all over, and sent word
back to the leaf:
DO not be afraid, hold on tightly,
and you shall not go till you want to. y
And so the leaf stopped sighing, and
went on nesting and singing. And
so it grew all Summer long, till Oc-
tober. And when the bright days OF
Autumn came, the little leaf saw all
the leaves around becoming very
beautiful. Some were yellow and
some were scarlet, and some were
striped with both colors. Then ii
asked the tree what it meant. And
the tree said:
"All these leaves are getting ready
to fly away. and they have put on
these beautiful cOlors because of Joy
Then the little leaf began to want
to 90, and grew very beautiful in
thinking Of it, and when it was very
gay in colors, it saw that the branches
of the tree had no color in them, sc
the leaf said:
90 branch, why are you lead color
and we golden ?'
ave must keep on our work clothes.
said the tree, "for our lite is not done
yet, but your clothes are for a holiday
because your task is over"
Just then a little puff Of wind came
and the leaf let 90 without thinking
of it, and the wind took it up anC
turned it over and over, and ther
whirled it like a spark of fire in tht
air, and let it fall gently down, under
the edge Of the fence among hundred.
