In what respeotYy demanded the

In what respect!' demanded the
squire.
The investment of money. My proper
ty is mostly in bank stock, and | wish to
invest portion in something else. What
would you advise ?"
al would prefer to see your certificates
of stock as preliminary" dryly observ-
ed the squire.
Out came pocket books and memoran-
dums, and sufficient stock was accounted
for to amount to thirty thousand dollars.
The deacon's brother began to rub his
eyes.
BY Jove ~ he said to himself-he
wasn't deacon, you know" if he has
got that much money old Reuben is max
ing fool of himself. I'll put flea in
his ear forthwith"
Then turning to Ross, he added aloud /:
"I'd put it in real estate, young man,
I'd put it in real estate"
Ross handed him ten dollars, and left
the office. And before night Deacon
Merriam was posted. ......
OFF came the lock and key, and the
iron bars, having never been put on,
were slowed away, with other rubbish, in
a hurry.
The next day Ross vontured to call,
and the warm reception he met, was a
great surprise to Lefty who never had
known her father to relent before. She
held her peace, however, and did not al
lude to it after he was gone.
Her father did ..-
I've changed my mind, Lefty" he
said I've heard something about Ross
Hardinge that has convinced me he is
not so bad as l thought him. Young
people will be young people, and if you
wish to marry him, forget what | have
said"
But he did not tell her what he had
heard
OF course with the deacons objection
removed, it was all smooth water, and
Ross drove his wooing so furiously that
in three weeks they were married.
Then her husband explained his arti-
flee to her, fearing that she had been de-
ceived, but her father had never told her
what had changed his sentiments. And
instead of blaming him, she kissed him
and called him dear nice fellow
In week the deacon began to talk
bank k-stock
II don't trouble me" said Ross, with
a laugh.
Don't trouble you Haven't you
thirty thousand dollars invested in bank
stock ?" thundcred his father-in-law,
No, sir-nor thirty cents"
The deacon said something that dea-
cons are not supposed to utter
"What become of the wealth you
showed my brother?" he asked
90, that was borrowed for the occa-
sion," said Ross, quietly 81 returned
it as soon as had accomplished my pur-
pose You called me fool once, and /
vowed to be even with you, as rather
think am"
If the deacon prayed that night more
fervently than usual, it was because he
had had terrible struggle with Old
Adam within him.
After all, Ross Hardinge did not make
a bad son-in-law. And when he got to
own half Cedarvale, the deacon forgave
him entirely.

Killing Fish.

A writer in the Norfolk Tiryinian says
that fish that are caught should be in
stantly killed-that they will be much
better and keep much longer, than when
left to die. He adds: In Holland every
fish caught is killed at once Not even a
starving man in that country would touch
a fish that had died of itself, for he would
consider it as carrion Every Dutch
fisherman carries common shoemaker s
awl with him and jabs it into the brain
of all the fish as soon as caught. 1t
takes not half second to kill each fish
in this manner. The manner general y
practced in the rest of Europe is to cut
the throat of the fish by once drawing
across it the edge of rough sharpened
knife. Both of these ways of killing fish
are good but the latter is to be preferred,
inasmuch as it bleeds them better,

BS~ A Wisconsin paper mentions a
case where burglars broke into a store,
but the goods were marked so high that
they would not ke'any away.

An Interesting Meeting.

There are many stories told of the late
John Smith, an eccentric Methodist min
lister known as lame John" to the con-
ference to which he belonged in South
crn Vermont, which was blessed with n
trio of reveren6s rejoicing in the same
euphonious name, A former parishion-
err of his in Wyndham county writes =
At one time the interest in the Thursday
evening prayer meeting died out almost
entirely, and the few that came in did so
very late. One evening Mr.. Smith was
as usual, at the vestry at the appointed
hour, and after waiting for some one to
join him for long time in vain, went out
and locked the door. Going down the
street he met Deacon Blank coming slow
ly toward the church. The solutions
were exchanged, and the deacon said =
Have you forgotten it is the night of
our prayer meeting p "Oh no" said
Mr., Smith, it is just out we had most
an excellent meeting" All, indeed !!
did you 7" exclaimed the deacon. "Pm
very glad. | trust there may be new
interest felt the meetings have seemed
very cold of late. Who was there ?"-
"God and his unworthy servant John
Smith" replied the divine, impressvely
Perhaps it is unnecessary to add that
that was the last Thursday evening meet
ing that God and John Smith ever held
entirely by themselves in that place.
