A DONATION PARTY.-Somewhere
in this State there is Presbyterian
clergyman whose nominal salary is four
hundred and fifty dollars year.
But as it was six months in arrears
the congregation determined to give
him donation party to help him along.
1t came off-the donation did.
The entire flock was on hand, and the
presents consisted Of six rolling pins, q
pen wiper and a-quarter of q peck ol
dr.ed apples six years old.
The minister, of course had to furnish
refreshments; and the company not only
devoured four hams, three and Lali
pounds of sixty cent butter, and thirteen
loaves of bread, but they ate up two
pounds of sugar and all the next winters
preserves.
To crown all, four spoons were miss
ing.
The clergyman says he wants to have
just one more donation party and then
he will close up his business aud begin
life over again as champion pauper Of
the almshouse
He is particularly down on one sister
who jammed herself full Of ham and
preserves, and enough other sufficient
diet to keep the entire family for week
aud thon laid up against the wall pre-
tending to feel religious and singing
There is rcst for the weary
He is willing to accept bets that she
will never weary as long as there is any
grub about-that sister won't.
He would like to fced her for a month
on those rolling pins and pen wipers-
just out Of revenge.

The character of an individual
ought to be priceless jewel, guarded
with a jealous and watchful care-a
gem of purest water set in gold re-
fined. Before, above and around it,
should be written and acknowledged
of men the word good" To secure
such a prize is no difficult matter
1t is an edifice of which every person
can be the architect, and the materi-
ais for its construction cost but little.
The good book tells US that "a good
name is to be chosen rather than
great riches" and one of the sweet
est of Scotia's bards has sung in
choicest rhyme:
"The rank is but the guinca's stamp
The mans man for a that
Riches, rank, station, may give
power and command subserviency;-
but good character does more-ii
commands respect, admiration, and
affection. It is beacon for Other
mariners on the sea of life-a shin
ing light to guide the footsteps o.
other wanderers through the world
How important, then, for every one
to possess such gift. Its absence
will be surely felt; while its presence
will go ringing down the corridors o.
time, striking the returning echoel
of some good which it has accom-
plished in its passage through th.
waters of life.
The great things of the world ma,
crumble into dust; the thrones of EN-
pire may totter and perish; nations
may rise and fall; but the charactel
of the good will survive all these ant
more. It will not only shine will
lustre here. but in the great Hereaf
ter will be set in gold, and flame witt
q refulgent splerdor-a glorious re
ward for whatever it has cost to Sc
cure it in this world.
What an inducement for every on,
to secure this priceless sjewel--a re
ward here and reward hereafter
Why should any one refuse to max
at least an effort toFohtAin it2

to read the proof, when what was
Mrs. BIS indignation on reading the

an was continually churning with an
orang-outang fastened to her hair, a
discolored eye, and in her shirt-tail!'
