SUNDAY BEADING.
The Work Done Inside.

One of my friends is very earnest,
shrewd man, who seems always to know
how to do the best thing at the right
time. One day he was passing gin
shop in Manchester, England when he
saw a drunken man lying on the ground
The poor fellow had evidently been turn.
cd out of doors when all his money was
gone. In moment my friend hastened
across the street, and entering grocer's
shop, addressing the master, said
Z" Will you oblige me with the largest
sheet of paper you have 2"
What, my friend? What's the
matter ?"
90! you shall see in minute or two.
Please letit be the largest sheet you have
The sheet Of paper was soon procured.
Now will you lend me piece of
chalk ?" said my friend.
Why whatever are you going to do?"
"You shall see presently" He then
quickly printed, in large letters
" SPECIMEN OF WORK DONE INSIDE"
He then fastened the paper over the
drunken man, and retired short dis
tance. In few moments several passers-
by stopped and read aloud, "Specimen
of work done inside"
In very short time a crowd assembled,
and the publican, hearing the noise and
laughter outside, came out to see what it
was all about He eagerly bent down
and read the inscription on the paper, and
then demanded, in an angry voice. "Who
did that ?"
Which ?" asked my friend who now
joined the crowd "If you mean what
is on tho paper, did that; but if you
mean the man, you did that This morn
ing when he arose he was sober-when
he walked down this street, on his way
to work, he was sober-when he went
into your gin.shop he was sober, and now
he is what you made him. Is it not true
specimen of the work done inside ~

Saying "Hateful" Things.

What strange disposition is that
which leads men to say "hatefur' things
for the mere plesure of saying them you
are never safe with such person. When
you have done your best to please, and
are feeling kindly and pleasantly, out will
pop some underhand stab, which you
alone can underestimate sneer which is
masked, but which is too we'll aimed to
be misunderstood. 1t may be at your
person, your mental feeling your foolish
habits of thought, or some little secret
opinions confessed in moment of genu-
inc confidence. 1t matters not how sacred
it may be to you, he will have his fling
at it; and since the wish is to make you
suffer, he is all the happier the nearer he
touches your heart. Just a half dozen
words, only for the pleasure of seeing a
cheek flush and eye lose its brightness,
only spoken because he is fraid you are
too happy or too conceited. Yet they
are worse than so many blows. How
many sleepless nights have snch mean
attacks caused tender-hearted men ! How,
efter them, one awakes with aching eyes
and head, to remember that speech before
everything--that bright, sharp, well
aimed needle of a speech, that probed
The very center of your soul af

An Elders Mistake.

A United Brethren presiding elder, out
in Minnesota, preaching to strange con-
gregation was much annoyed by some of
the young folks talking and laughing
during the service. He paused, looked
at the disturbers, and said 81 am al
ways afraid to reprove those who mis-
behave in church. In the early part Of
my ministry made great mistake. As
| was preaching, young man, who sar
just before me was constantly laughing,
talking and making uncouth grmaces.
| paused and administered a severe re-
buke. After the close of the servic one
of the official members came and said to
me, Brother-you made great mistake.
That young man whom you rebuked is
an idiot" Since then have always been
afraid to reprove those who misbehave
in church lest should repeat that mis-
