A BEAUTIFUL 1NCIDENT.--The follow
ing beautiful story is worthy to be laid
up in the memory of every one:
A poor Arab, travelling in the desert,
met with spring OF clear, sweet, spark
ling water. Used as he was only to
brackish wells, such water as this mp.
peared to his simple mind worthy Of a
monarch. and filling his leathern bottle
from the spring, he determined to 20
and present it to the CaIiph himself.
The poor man travelled long way be-
fore no reached the presence Of his
sovereign and laid his humble Offering ut
his feet. The Caliph did not despise the
little gift, brought to him with so much
trouble. He ordered some of the water
to be poured into cup, drank it, and
thanking the Arab with smile, or
dered him to be presented with reward.
The courtiers around pressed forward,
eager to taste Of the wonderful water;
but, to the surprise of all, the Caliph
forbade them to touch single drop.
EAfter the poor Arab had quilted the
royal presence with light and joyful
heart, the Caliph turned to his courtiers
and thus explained his conduct: dur
ing the travels of the Arab" snid he,
"the water in his leathern bottle became
impure and distastefnl. But it was an
offering of love, and as such I have re-
oeived it with pleasure. But we'll knew
that had I suffered another to partake of
it, he would not have concealed his dis
gust, and, therefore, forbade you to
touch the draught. lest the heart of the
poor msn should have been wounded"
The act of this Oaliph was worthy of
a Christian gentleman. Read the story
over again, think about it, and try to
remember it when some one simpler
minded than you are exposes his igno-
rance while trying to do you service.
If you laugh and make sport as the
courtiers would have done, you show
yourself to be neither gentleman nor
Christian. The truly great are kind to
the humblest. It is the mean man who
treats the lowly with contempt.

WAXING GRANDMA WITH KISS. "A
sweet incident is related by writer.
She says:
I asked q little boy, last evening;
Have you called grandma to tea?"
''Yes. When I went in to call her she
was asleep, and I didn't know how to
waken her. I didn't wish to holler at
grandma, nor to shake her; 80 I kissed
her cheek, and that woke her very softly.
Then I ran into tie hall and said, pretty
loud: Grandma, tea is ready and she
never knew what woke her." iE
Do we find anything more sweet and
delicate than this? Can conventionality
improve upon such politeness, spontane-
ons in the heart of q six years old boy?

up you will find at your tongues end
some expression which you would not
use for any money. 1t was used
when quite young. By using care
you will save yourself great deal
Of modification and sorrow. Good
men have taken sick and become
delirious. In these moments they
used the most vile and indecent Ian.
guage imaginable. When informed
of it after restoration to health they
had no idea of the pain they. caused;

expressions in childhood, and though

indelibly stamped upon the heart.

Farmers Picnics."

The Rural NeW YoTker has good
thing in favor of +" Farmers Picnics, +"
which we commend to.she thoughtful
consideration of our farmer friends.
Read the following, andlet each neigh
borhood forthwith make arrangements
for monthly or semiTmonthly gath
ering of friends andneighbors. These
gatherings, whether i he a Picnic,
Fishing Party, or anything of the
kind, will do much towards relieving
the monotony of falmSlife, and will
certainly tend to promote more bind
ing friendships, and. add materially
to the always too scant amount of
fun and frolic doled out to those who
live and delve on the farm. Here's
what the Ru'az Ney1 Ymke, says
FARMERS PIcsIcs. Why not?
Why not get the boysand girls, the
farmers and their wives, into wagons
and go off for a right jolly picnic at
least once a month"; We should
think so. What's the use of this
hum-drum plodding life without va
ration, which sends sons and daugh-
tiers out into the world--into the
cities-for exciten.ent.which ought to
furnished them at home, Why not
inaugurate farmers picnios, fishing
excursions, hunting parties, etc. Why
dc not the farmers WiEes start spree
of their own for the entertainment
and instruction of their husbands,
sons, and daughters r. Why not get
up bread ricnics, and see who can
furnish the best breadffor lie party.
Appoint committees to test, decide
and award a certificate OF merit; so
of the butter the picked tongue;
the ham and sandwiches; preserves;
canned fruits, etc. This is suggested
by the fact that the Olive Farmers
Club, St. Joseph Co., Ind, recently
held picnic at which several hundred
farmers, and their children met, had
addresses, music, good dinner and
good time. They employed an Ag-
ricultural Editor to Nsliver an ad-
dress-a foolish thing to,do, though
undoubtedly the address was good
one. But what is the use of going
out of the profession for speech ma
kers?. Why not select a farmer OF
your own number, farmers, and let
him talk? Criticise him; pitch into
bis notions. 1t will do you and him
good. This s nding away from home
for lawyers, editors, preachers and
prodigies to address farmers is one OF
The most absurd transactions agricul-
turists are guilty Of. 4et men talk
to you who are familiar with what
you are doing, and who ought to know
what you ought t. do and the. hest
way Of doing it. But above all, inau-
gurate Farmers picnics.

A geaa.lia! Incident.

The following beautiful story is
worthy to be laid up in the memory
of every one:
A poor Arab travelling in the des-
ert met with spring of clear, sweet,
sparkling water. Used as hewas on
ly to brackish wells, such water as
this appeared to his simple mind
worthy of a monarch and flinghis
leathern bottle from the spring he
determined to go and present it. to
the caliph himself?
The poor man travelled long way
before he reached! the presence of his
sovereign and laid his humble offer
ing at his f.'et. The caliph did not
'despise the little gilt, brought to him
with so much trouble. he ordered
some of the water to be poured into
u cup, drank it, and thanking the
Arab with a smile, ordered him to be
presented with a reward. The cour-
tiers around pressed forward, eager
to taste of the wonderful water; but
to the surprise Of ali, the ealiph fer
babe them to touch single drop.
After the poor Arab had Quilted
the royal presence with light and
joyful heart, tue caliph turned to his
conrtiers and thus explained his con-
duct: During the travels Of the
Arab" said he, the water in his
leathern bottle became impure aad
distaste!ul. But it was an offering
of love, and as such l have. received
it with pleasure. But l we'll knew
that lid suffered another 10 partskc
of it, he would not have concealed
his disgust; and therefore l forbede
you to touch the draught, lest The
heart Of the poor man should have
been wounded. "
The act Of this caliph was worry
of Christian gentleman. Read tie
story over again, think about it, anl
try to remember it when some one,
than you are, exposes
his ignorance while trying to. do you
a service. If you laugh and make
sport as the courtiers would have
done, you show yourself to be neither
a gentleman nor Christian. The
truly great are kind to the lumblest.
It is tie mean man who treats the
lowly with contempt.

A Mothers Love.

Did ever any one fully appreciate
this great boon, next in value to that
love towards us manifested by our
Heavenly parent in giving his below
ed son to die on the cross, that we
ungrateful creatures of4is might not
be deprived of that which our DISC
bedience had forfeited I? or did there
ever exist a man, woman or child.
who could presume to do justice to the
subject in trying to describe it? 'Tis
not through nope of being able to do
Justice to it that I have talk N my pen
in hand at this time, but rather to
add word Of warning, and at the
same time help to guide the young.
and thoughtless to prosperity. +" Hon
or thy Father and Mother, that thy
days may be long in the land which
the Lord thy God giveth thee is a
commandment given by our all wise
Parent, and one which no child can
defy and still enjoy life. In our.
youth we 50 apt often, to come across
like matters, that inexperience on
our part may render usientirely unfit
to deal with alone; things which we
are apt to see in false light, and in
such instances amother's love, guild
ed by her greatest experience should
be consulted.
How many children by needing
the above divine command have liv-
ed in prosperity, while others stray
ing beyond its limits have drank the
bitter dregs ever present in the cup
of sin.
"a mothers love will recognize and
stretch forth supporting hand, when
nearest friends turn upon you with
the deepest disdain. Though cares
may be bearing that mother rapidly
to the grave, she never grows indif-
ferent to the trials and misfortunes

sins of disobedienoe TO that divine
command, butts willing, to take his
burdens upon her shoulders, ard suf-
fer i'll his stead, giving consolation
that comes from heart, long a stran-

are at such times as | can recall some
act Of mine longyears ago, performed
for the comfort and delight of noble
mother, and nothing casts a greater
shadow Of regret over,any past his

Within the limits Of that command

Cenfacius and The Girls.

Confucius, WHO is as highly esteem-
ed by over four hundred millions Of
Chinese as Jesus among Christians,
was born 546 years hslore Christ, and
died 437 B. u. at tile age OF 73.
The empire Was divided into provin-
ces called kingdoms !Confucius found
that interest, avarice, ambition, dis
sipation, false policy. pleasure and
luxury prevailed in ail these little
courts. He undertook 10 banish all
these, and accordingly, began to
preach and to practise the virtues Of
modesty, disinterestedness, equity,
temperance, and contempt Of riches
and pleasures He rose to distiuc-
ton, and though Offices were urged
upon him, he refused to accept them,
in order that he might not be divert
ed from his great work. At length,
having made so good an impression
upon the court OF the kingaom of
Loo, in which he resided, he accept
ed IN Office in the administration.
He was SC thorough in reforming the
liips and his court, as we'll as the
people at large, that the jealousy
and alarm of the neighboMpg kings
was greatly excited. Among these,
says the Chinese historian, the king
of Tsi was most alarmed. He held
several councils with his principal
ministers, and after frequent delibe-
rations it was concluded that, under
pretence Of an embassy, they should
make a present to The King Of Loo
and to the grandees Of his court Of a
great number of young girls of ex-
traordinary beauty. who had been
instructed from their infancy in sing
ing and dancing, and were possessed
of all the chaYma that were. likely to
please and captivate the heart.
The stratagem succeeded. The
king, his court and the grandees gave
themselves up to the entertainment
Of the girls, and devoted themselves
more to the invention of.new diver
sions for them than to the admins
tration Of Che State. Confucius re-
monstrated, and tried to bring them
back to sobriety, simplicity and vir-
tue, but in vain. Ho. threw up the
office in disgust and left his native
country for other people;. more fit to
relish and practise his maxims.
The influence of the girls is con-
siderable to this day; even in our
own country. The greatest Of phil
osophers was SO completely beaten by
them that he was compelled to con-
slider. all aa lost for the kingdom of
Loo. ,@a.te

Little Jerry, The Miller.
by JOHN G. SAKE.

Beneath the hill you may see the mill
OF wasting wood and crumbling stone
The wheel is dripping and gathering still
But Jerry, the miller, is dead and gone
Year after year, early and late, .
Alike in Summer and Winter weather
Hepecked the stones and calked the gate
And mill and millergrew old together.
Little Jerry''-'twas all the same
They loved him well whocalled him so,
And whether he'd ever another name,
Nobody ever seemed to know.
twas Little Jerry, come grind myry
And "Little Jerry, come grind my
wheat;"
And "Little Jerry" was still the cry,
From matron bold and maid en- sweet,
Twas "Little Jerry" OH every tongue,
And thus the simple truth was told;
For jerry was little when he was young,
And he was little when he was old.
But what in size he chanced, to lack,
Jerry made up in being strong;
I've seen sack upon his back
As thick as the miller and quite as long,
Always busy and always merry,
Always doing his very best,
4 notable wag was little Jerry,
Who uttered well his standing jest.
"When will you grind my corn, I say ?''
"Nay,'' quoth Jerry, "9ou needn't
scold,
Just leave your grist for half day,
And never fear but you'll be tolled."
How Jerry lived is known to fame,
But how he died there's none may
know;
One Autumn day the rumor came
"The brook and Jerry are very low."
And then Twas whispered mounfully,
The leech had come, and he was dead,
And all the neighbors flocked to see;
Poor little Jerry!' was all they said.
They laid him in his earthly bed.
His miller's coat his only shroud-
"Dust to dustm the parson said,
And all the people wept aloud:
For he had Stunned the deadly sin,
And not grain of over-toll
Had ever dropped into his bin,
To weigh upon his parting soul.
Beneath the hill there stands the mill,
/. OF wasting woodland crumbling stone;
The wheel is dripping and Gathering still,
But Jerry, the miller, is dead and gone.
