IT NEVER PAYS.

II never pays to fret and growl
When fortune seems our foe;
The better bred will push ahead
And strike the drawer hlow.
For luck is work.
And those who shrink
Should not lament their doom;
But yield the play,
And clear the way,
That better men have room.
1t never pays TO foster pride,
And sqnander wealth in show;
For friends thus won are sure to run
In times OF want or woe.
The nohest worth
or all the earth
Are gems Of heart aud brain
A conscience clear,
A household dear,
And lands without a stain.
II never phys TO hate a foe,
Or cater to n friend;
To ftwn and whine, much lees repine.

The faults of men
Are fewer when
Each rows his own cunoe
For feuds and debts
And pampered pets
Unbounded mischief brew.
II never phys 10 wreck the health

And he is sold who thinks that gold
Is cha ply bought with pain.

A cosy cot,

For stations high

For are and youth must learn this truth,

RELIGIOUS COLUu.s..
Az God Prnaners.

We have received circular which
treats the "Ways and Means for the
Spread of the Gospel" in spirit which
is both busincss.like and Scriptural.
The constant groaning over the "raising
OF funds" might be avoided if there
was systematic measurement of one
ability by Paul's rule. Gas God hath
pros pered."
The very first principle in the science
of practical benevolence-for it is a
science is that we should give God his
own-that is, everything. If we hold
our possessions as his stewards, we shall
have an abiding antidote to covetous-
ness. But we also need to observe
method in applying the Lords property
to its various uses. The circular aptly
says: at will surprise those who
have not thought Of it, how much money
may be raised during the year, without
being oppressive to the givers, fer vari-
Gus church expenses, such as the pas
tors salary, current expenses, and
benevolent uses generally, if consid-
erable number of members would give
each Sabbath even not more than ten
cents a piece, and others would give,
according to their means, sums varying
from ten cents TO five dollars, though
perhaps the latter amount could be
afforded by comparatively few"
A table follows, showing that four
hundred persons, thus regularly con-
tributiug, could easily raise fourteen
thousand dollars year; sum sufficient
to put an end tn all cavils about the sup
port Of the ministry. This may not be
correctly drawn, but any intelligent per-
son can see that if each person, now an
occasional and careless contributor to
good causes, gave regularly and accord
ing to his income, there would be no
"debts" owned by churches, no missions
halfmanned, no lean and seedy minis
ters, to proclaim without words the
stipginess of Christians.

HOOKS AND EYES.

Two-eyed beefsteak is the polite name
for mackeral.
If you do not mean to mind your
own business, it will not pay to adver-
tise.
How to get two ducks-Shoot one
and jump into the water after it.
"What is the plural ct penny" in
quired schoolmaster. "Twopence!'
shouted the sharpest in the class.
What is the difference between half
a glass of water and a broken engage
ment? The one is not filled full, and
the other is not fulfilled.
A gentleman one day indiscreetly
asked lady how old she was. "Let
me see. | was Is when | married, and
my husband was 30; now he is twice
80, and that is 60; so of course l am
twice lS, that Is &c." ..
The Boston Post mentions a gentle
man who tried to eat three quarts of
oysters, and sadly remarks: "The
roads were muddy and very few Of his
friends got out to his funeral"
1t is not work that kills men; it is
worry. Work is healthy; you can
hardly put more upon man than be
can bear. Worry is rust upon the
blade. 1t is not revolution that de-
stroys the machinery, but the friction.
A child three years old, who had
seen parched corn, but not the trees in
bloom, came in one day in the early
summer with her eyes as round as but
tons, and said, "Oh, mamma, pop core
is all over the pear trees"
A Danbury man found something
offensive in his last dozen eggs, and
took the dealer to task. "What is the
matter with them?" asked the dealer.
"They amt good" was the reply.
"Well, that isn't to be wondered at,,'
was the apoloGetic rejoinder. "Hens
are drove so now they amt expected to
be as particular as usual"

RESULT OF CENTURIES OF CULTURE
The successive editions of Webster's
Unabridged are as perennialiu interest
as in value. Each successive reprint
finds the work of our great lexicograph-
er still unrivaled among English die
tionaries. In each republication we
likewise find a mirror of the scientific
progress Of the age, a sleepless vigilance
which nothing escapes, to catch every
new shade of verbal significance, and
to retain for our uuapproached standard
Of language, that freshness which pre-
serves it from ever becoming old. In
the 1910 pages before us there are
compressed the results of centuries OF
culture, and the sum of the intellectual
contributions of some of the greatest
minds of the race. Whether regard ed
as whole, or in detail, the book is
equally marvellous. Its illustrations are
copious, appropriate and carefully exc
cuted. The matter in the APPENDIX is
of a character indispensable for refer
ence to all who read, aud to all who
write with serious purpose. The book
is, in short, one which neither school
nor study, library or office, ought to be
without.-[New York Times.

SIdNs AND ToKENs.-The Gridiron
TO take down the gridiron from the
nail where it is hanging, with the left
hand, is sign that there will be d
broil in the kitchen.
The Mirror.-If mirror is broken
1t is sign that good-looking lass will
be missed in that house.
Pocket Book.-To lose pocket book
containing greenbacks is unlucky.
Nails.--If a woman cuts her nails
every Monday it is lucky-for her hus-
band.
Roosters-If you hear a rooster
crow when you are in bed and the clock
strikes few times at the same instant,
it is sign of MOURNING.
An itching ear.-If you have an
itching ear, tickle your nose and you
will have an Itching there, and i'll luck
will be averted.

History Of a Drinking Club.

Some years ago, in large town in
the west of Scotland, there existed a
drinking club Of upwards of twenty
members, all of whom belonged to the
middle claeses of society. This club
had a great influence in its municipal
affairs, several of its members were
elected to fill posts in the town council.
The drinking was carried on to fearful
extent in the tavern whore they met.
The members were to be found often in
the club at all hours Of night or Gay.
Their drinking was often connected
with such noisy mirth as to attract the
attention of the passers-by. Two Of its
members were sent to lunatic asylum.
One jnmped from window and killed
himself; one walked or fell into the
water and was drowned; one was found
dead in public house; one died of de-
lerium tremens; upwards of ten became
bankrupt; four died ere they had lived
half their days.

A Singular Story,

A druggist who keeps store in the
western part of the State, and is more
tond of taking jokes than medicine,
was recently surprised by the appear
ance of thorough Yankee, who asked,
"Be yeou the drugger?" "Well, sup
pose so; I sell drugs" "Wall, have
yeou got eny Nv this ere sentin' stuff as
the gals put on their hankerchers?"
ooh, yes" "Wall, our Sa! is gwine to
be married; and she's gin me a nine
pence, and told me to invest the whole
mount in seDtin' stuff, so to make her
sweet, eff | could find somethin' to suit;
SO, if you're mind, I'll just smell
around" The Yankee smelled around
without being suited, until the "drug-
ger" got tired of him, and taking down
bottle of hartsEorn, said: "Pve got

years. This is the kind of treatment

Love Makes Work Easv.

One morning l found little Dora busy
at the ironing table, smoothing some
towels and stockings.
"Isn't it hard work for your arms?"
asked. A look like sunshine came into
her face, as she glanced toward her
mother, who was rocking the baby.

How true it is that love makes labor
sweet. So, if we love the blessed
Saviour, we shall not find it hard to
work for Him. It is love that makes
His yoke easy and His burden light.

that man who had till recently been

renounce his infdelity by reading tracts
he found dropped in his lane. He said
somebody had scattered tracts all around
his farm.
