"Be dad, sir {" said Pat; sits meself,

BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KOW
THEN Near Bangor, in little vii
lage, their dwelt many years gone by II
lay member, who week days kept coun-
try store, and on Sundays ho would
preach or exhort around among tho
neighboring towns, wherever he could
find a vacant pulpit.
He was q man Of Timber tongue and
could sell Yankee notions and preach
the gospel very handy.
1t was his way to load up wagon
and peddle all through The country,
leaving his store in charge of his wife
during his absence.
Finding himself, late in the week,
upon a certain time too far from home
to get back, and having sold out his
load, which at that time consisted OF
dried apples, whic, by the way, were a
little wormy, he gave notice that he
would preach the next day, which was
Sunday, to the people.
Many gathered in to hear him. His
text was "And by their fruits ye shall
know them" He handled this sub
ject in his usual gallant manner, aud
closing up his sermon with glitter
ing paragraph, he repeated the text:
"Yes, my friends, and by their fruits
We shall know them."
Just at that point up jumped retail
grocer in the place, who had dealt with
the exhorter the night before, and said,
loud enough to be heard if the church
had been twice as large: "Yes, my
friend, and by the worms in their dried
apples, too :"

Green Fields Just In Sight,

At the portals of the morning
stood a child with dainty feet,
All about him golden sunshine,
Pearly dew and blossom sweet;
And with tender, dlmpled fingers,
Plucked he flowers fresh and fair,
And the overhanging branches
Showered the dew-drops In his hair.
Looking forward oor 1ife's pathway,
Saw he broader fields of green,
Skies with snowy clouds so ileecy,
Here and there blue shreds between;
And with swiftly flying footsteps,
Started he for fields more bright;
But in vain he hurried onward
They wero always Just in sight.
Warmer, brighter, rev the sunshine,
Broader, rougher grew the way;
But with green fields just before him,
Nothing could his footsteps stay;
SO he wandered on TIL manhood
Took the place of childhood fair,
Then he threw aside his flowers
Wiped the dew.drops from his hair.
onward, onward, tolllng, striving,
Helping others with his might,
Desired he that tho blooming fields,
That are always Just In sight
Lay within the cold dark river,
Here we only wish and wait
TIL tho Master calls us over,
And unbars the pearly gate.

REPUBLICAN SPEAKING.-Hon.J j. j.
DcHaven and Hon. John M. Coghlan
spoke at Weavervile last Tuesday night
to large and appreciative AUDIENCE
From the encomiums passed upon Mr..
DeHaven by the West Coast Signal, our
expectations were large, but were more
Than fulfilled. AS "a speaker Mr.. DeHaven
is pleasing and logical, and we predict
will attain prceminence as an orator and
public man. AS the people of this Sec
ton we'll know, Mr.. Coghlan is one of
the most talented men on this Coast, and
one of the most interesting speakers it
has produced. Mr.. Coghlan's remarks
were principally devoted to rendering an
account of his stewardship. His explain
alton of the Goat Island Bill and his posi-
ton on the Railroad question was lucid
and satisfactory to all unprejudiced minds.
To hear Coghlan is to realize that he is
possessed of great ability. To know him
is to like him. Wherever he goes he is
sure to win friends, and that is the result
of his visit to this place. Coghlan advo-
Gated the election of Grant and Wilson
and discussed political issues without once
mentioning Luttrell. The meeting ad-
journed amid enthusiastic cheers for John
M. Coghlan and Grant and Wilson.

How DID He GET THERE ?-Rackerby
told us that he went to Cincinnati and
mentioned the names of some of the dis
tinguished gentlemen whom he met there,
He missed it slightly in naming several
prominent politicians who were not there,
but failing to obtain office in the Repub-
lican party afterwards came out for Gree
ley. This trifling inaccuracy, however,
was really not worth noticing, considering
how necessary it was for him to say some
thing. lie told us that his wife did not
know he was going to Cincinnati, but did
not tell us whether he knew he was going
himself, or how it happened. When we
reflect a moment about Rackerby at Gin
cinnati, hobnobbing with Charles Francis
Adams, Horace Greeley, Lyman Trum-
bull, Senator Fenton, Frank Blair, Carl
Schurz, and that sort, we are forcibly
reminded of an anecdote told of Rev.
Sidney Smith Once when dining with
party of literary gentlemen, he COM
pared Mr.. Claiming, who was then in
office, to fly in amber. " Nobody"
said he, cares about the fly; the only
question is How in the devil did it get
there p" We believe honestly, nobody
but Rackerby can tell how in the devil
he got to Cincinnati and nominated Hor-
rus Greeley"
