A Peaceahle Life.

Said a very old man, "Some folks are
always complaining about the weather, but
am always thankful when wake up in
the morning and find any weather at all.'
We may smile at the simplicity of the old
man, but still his language indicates
spirit that contributes much to calm
peaceable life. 1t is better and wiser to.
cultivate that spirit than to be continually
complaining Of things as they are. Be
thankful for such mercies as you have, and
If Heaven sees It win be for your good and
his glory, it win give you many more. AT
least do not make yourself and others un-
happy by your ingratitude and complaint.

Uncle Hodgepodgc's Advice.

Uncle Hodgepodgc gives the following
advice against calling man liar:
Never tell man that he is a liar unless
you are certain that you can whip him, for,
as general rule, when you say that it
means fight
/ have arrived at this conclusion through
sad experience. know that it is not safe
to give the lie to muscular Christian.
I did once. am sorry for it now, as
never grieved for anything else in the
whole course of my life.
We were standing on the side walk in
front of the club, when made statement.
We had been talking politics, and men
who talk politics and get hot over it, are
to put it mildly-lunatics, or else want Of
flee or have some friend who wants an of
flee. This man made an assertion, touch
ing the fair fame of my favorite candidate,
which / believed to be untrue. 1t is prob
able if it had been as true as it was false,
should have taken the same course, because,
you understand, man has no sense who
talks politics, anyhow think said SO
before, but it is all the same. l want to
make it strong, and get you to understand
how got my ornamental eye.
mildly suggested that man who would
make such statement as that was lost to
all sense of shame, and would be guilty Of
any base crime
He disagreed with me on that point. As
for himself he never made statement ex-
cept upon the most ample proof. My can

An AstOnished Elder.

The State of Ohio used to be famous for
its camp meetings and revivals but an
Ironton paper tells of a circumstance
which lately occurred in that locality,
which is strong indication that there is
now something wrong either about the
preachers or the people. A revival preacher
who had achieved considerable reputation
as to his powers in the pulpit, went to
Ironton for week, to ''start revival"
He showed great zeal, preached every night
during his stay, got double row of
"moumers benches" ready, and called
upon his congregation to come forward.
The last night there was an immense
gathering, and the preacher fairly outdid
himself He exhorted, and pleaded, and
waited, but all in vain. Not soul arose.
Finally, discouraged beyond measure, he
sat down. At that juncture a long-faced,
anxious looking man got up and said that
the Elder had been working hard, and la
bored faithfully with them, and as token
of their appreciation, he moved that the
congregation give him three cheers. 1t
was done with a heartiness which made
the pews trembie, and the people went
home satisfied that they had fully and
faithfully performed their duty. The
preacher has ever since been waiting TO see
Ironton destroyed by fire.
