EZEKIEL PERKINS HAT.

The following story is told of genial
and festive lawyer. of the olden time, by
name Ezekiel Perkins, we'll to do bach
elor, who was always made welcome at
social gatherings. and was very popular
His weakness was to great fondness for
good wine Now, Mr.. Perkins lad few
peculiarities; among them. he had an
enormous head. his hats always having to
be made for him. Than having got one to
fit bis immense cranium, he took the very
useless precaution Of putting liable in the
crown thereof, reading, &" Ezekiel Perkins,

His peculiar social failing was, that at
all stag dinner parties land to them he
cottoned the most) he got-he got-well,
there Is no use Sinking it, he got rather
intoxicated early in the evening. He, how
ever, had the faculty Of knowing when he
had got as much as he could comfortably
carry, and knowing this to take his leave.
One evening, Mr.. Perkins wended his
way to one Of the best mansions Of Hart
ford. He was in full dinner dress-blue
coat, with gilt buttons, white vest, with
black coE:ianations, and spotless linen
Lightly he stepped along. his hat little
to one side, swinging his cane, and hum
ming an air as he went. He was in high
spirits, in view Of spending an unusually
pleasant evenins-epjoying the affair in
anticipation; and how often does IT ex
ceed the reality! Having arrived, and de.
posted his hat among number of others
on the table, he in due course sat down
to dinner.
Now, a joker, knowing his head and the
propensity to indulge too freely at these
meets, determined to have bit of fun at
his expence. So. during the time which
occurred before dinner was announced, he
managed to take the liable out of Mr.. Pei
kin's hat, and afix it in the crown ofthe

tired and awaited events. The dinner
was. .s Mr.. Perkins expected, prime af

and wine, he found himself, at the end of
a capital story by his host, a" down to his
bearings" as a sailor would say. Rising
from bis chair, carefully stcadying him

the host (he could do no moreJ. and

and the excellence OF that last joke. he
got out of the room with slight lurch

FINGER MARKS.

A gentleman employed mason TO do
some work for him, and among other
things to "thin whiten' the walls of one
of his chambers. This thin-whitening
is almost colorless until dried. The gen.
tleman was much surprised on the morn
ing after the chamber was finished to
find on the drawer. white fingerers.-
Opening the drawer, he found the same
on the articles in it, and also on pocket
book. An examination revesled the
same marks on the contents of bag
This proved clearly that the mason,
with his wet hands. had opened the
drawer, and searched the bag, which con-
tanned no money, and had then closed
the drawer without once thinking that
any one would ever know it.
The acknowledging" which happened
to be on his hands did not show at first,
and he probably had no idea that twelve
hours drying would reveal his wicked
ness. Children beware of evil thoughts
and deeds they all leave their finger
marks. which will one day be revealed.
If you disobey your parents. or tell a
falsehood, or take what is not your own,
you make sad stains ON your character.
And so it is with all sin. 1t defileth the
soul 1t betrays those who engage in it
by the marks it makes on them. These
marks may be almost. If not quite. in
visible at first. But even if they should
not be seen during any of your days On
earth (Which is not at all likely, yet
there is a day coming in which every
sin will be made manifest.

A CHILD'S FAITH.

country 1t was about mile from her
home. 1t was too far far her to walk in
the winter. Her father always sent her
to school in the morning in carriage nf
a sleigh. and brought her home at night
in the came way,
One afternoon he stopped at the school
house, and calling Nellie out. said. II
am going up the road several miles, and
may not return till after school is out
But wait for me till come will be here
before dark
! When the school was out, the children
wrapped themselves in their cloaks and
overcoats and shawls. and set out for
home.
'Are you not going?" asked one of
the last that left the school room, as she
saw Nellie take her seat by the stove
Father told me to wait for him." said
Nellie.
"Are you not afraid to stay here
alone {"
What is there to be afraid Of 1t is
nice and warm here"
II should be afraid to stay here alone, I"
sale the girl. ut will be dark pretty
soon"
Father said he would be here before
dark"
"What will you do if he don't come p
Father will come for me he said he
would "
Nellie was left alone. Time seemed
to move very slowly; yet the sun went
down, and it began to be gloomy. She
went to the door and began to look for
her father. He was not i'll sight, al
though from the door of the school house
you could see nearly mile along the
read. Presently man came along with
yoke Of oxen and sled He was a
neighbor of theirs. What are doing
here p he asked Nellie, when he saw
her standing in the door.
II am waiting for father" was her
answer.
1T will soon be dark" he said ''you
had better so on my sled and go as far a.
my house. 1t would not be pleasant for
you to stay here all night
Father will be sure to come for me" j."
said Nellie che told me to wait for him
till he comes'
| 1t was nearly dark, but not quite, when
her father drove up to the door. He had
driven go fast to get there that his horses
was all covered with perspiration. He had
been detained longer than be expected,
and he had left his business unfinished,
in order to keep his promise and get
back to his dear child before dark.
"Were you afraid | would not come,
Nellie?' he asked as he wrapped her
up in the nice warm buffalo robe.
No, cir" was the answer of the low
ing child; you said you would come,
and knew | could trust you,"
How beautiful. this is If we could
have the same trust in our Heavenly
Father that Nellie Parsons had in her
earthly father, how happy we should be |!
And yet Nellie's father had not done one
hundredth part as much for her, as our
Father in Heaven had done for US lie
is the God "who telleth the numbers of
the stars, and calleth them all by their
names )" and we should trust, with our
whole hearts, every word that he has
spoken.

BEAR HUSfI+G IN NEW YORK.

Bear hunting is not always the pleas
ATTEST kind of amusement. So thinks Nv.
Hamilton, Of Missouri. This gentFeman
shouldered his rife one morning and
went into the timber about mile off, TO
shoot squirrels. At night he had not re-
turned, nor did he make his appearance
during the following night. As squir-
rels are not apt TO devour man, several
neighbors the re.t morning went in
search of him kbont 3 O'Clock IN the
afternoon they found him up tree thirty
feet from the ground, and unable to e1
tricate himself He said that about 3
o'clock the previous day he canfe across
large black bear and shot at him but
missed him, when the bear made for him
with all his might He ran and finding the
bear gaining on him be :krew away his
rifle and climbed up sycamore tree,
with the bear following right at his heels.
The top of this tree hd been broken off.
and was hollow, in which hole he thrust
one of his legs to keep himself from fall
ing, but he soon found that his leg was
fast when be tried to extricate himself,
and he coald no: draw j, cr,t. The bear
in the meantime had torn the boot OF on

the flesh from the foot and ankle. Mr..

his paw the bear sirdck tie hnife from
