Clerical Anecdotes.

In the south of New Jersey, some
years ago, there Travelled over some of the
hardest counties, a good, faithful hard
working brother, named James Moore,
as he was familiarly called. He was
devoted to the itinerancy. A true loyal
Methodist, plain, pointed, and sharp
in all his preaching and exhortations.
After he had been laboring year in
one of his new fields, he gave his peo-
pie who dearly loved him, his farewell
sermon.
At its close he said: My dear
brethren, this is my last address to
you. Pm going from you and you
may never hear the voice of James
Moore again.
'Amenp came loudly from the seat
before him.
He looked at the man with little
surprise but thinking it was mistake
went on.
My days on earth will soon be num-
bered. l am an old man, and you
may not only never hear the voice
of James Moore, but never see his face
again.
'Amenv was shouted from the same
seat, more vigorously than before.
There was no mistaking the design
now. The preacher looked at the man
he knew him to be hard grind
ing man-stingy and merciless to the
poor.
He continued his address-'May the
Lord bless all those of you who have
done your duty, who have honored
Him with your substance, those who
have been kind to the poor, and

THE most faithful lover who has a
name and being outside of trashy novels,
lives in Danbury. The parents of the
young lady are opposed to the compan-
ionship, but it don't make him proud.
Sometimes the old gentleman reaches
him with his boot before he can get over
the fence, but the young man doesn't
lay up Ill feelings on account of that |;
he only smiles on the despoiler of his
pants when he meets him, and calls it
"heaping Goals of fire on his head"
Saturday evening he thought he would
get up surprise for the old chap. He
put paving stone in each Of his coat
tail pockets, and started for the fence
as usual. The old gentleman let out
for him with increased enthusiasm, and
caught him-caught him good. Then
he laid down on the grass and said: 81

the young man passed on without a

smile of forgiveness ever seen on that

The Conscience and Future Judgement.

sat alone with my conscience,
In q place where time had ceased,
And we talked of my former living
IN o land whore tho years increased.
And felt should have u answer
The question 1t put TO me,
And TO face the answer and question
Throughout an eternity.
The ghosts of forgotten actions
Came floating before my sight.
And things that thought were dead things
Were alive with q terrible might.
And the vision of all my past life
Was an awful thing to face,-
Alone with my conscience sitting
In that solemnly silent place.
And thought of a far-away warning,
Ofa sorrow that was to be mino,
In land that then was the future,
But now is the present time.
And 1 thought OF my former thinking
OF the Judgment-day to be,
But sitting alone with my conscience
Seemed judgment enough for me.
And wondered if there was future
To this land beyond the grave;
But no one gave me an answer,
And no one came to save.
Then / felt that the future was present,
And the present would never go by.
For it was but tho thought of my past life
Grown into eternity.
Then woke from my timely dreaming,
And the vision passed away,
And knew the far-away warning
Was warning of yesterday
And pray that may not forget 1t,
In this land before the grave,
That may not cry In the future,
And no one come TO save.
And so 1 have learnt lesson,
Which ought to have known before,
And which, though learnt it dreaming,
hope TO forget no more.
SO sit alone with my conscience
In the place where the years increase.
And try to remember the future
InsLhe land where time VIII cease:
And know of the future Judgment,
How dreadful soe'r it be-
THAT TO SIT ALONE WITH MY CoNsCIENcE
WILL BE JUDGMENT ENOUGH FOR MEL

How Joe Lost His Bet.

An old fellow named Joe Poole, very
eccentric and an incorrigible stutterer,
was constant lounger at the tavern
in Waterfeld, Me.
One day traveller from distant
part of the State, arrived at the tavern
and was met by an old acquaintance, a
resident of the town. After some con-
versation on different topics, the traveller
was addressed as follows:
BY the way, Brown, look out for old
Joe Poole tonight. You will know him
quick enough by his suffering. He will
be sure to come around, and offer to bet
that you've not got whole shirt to
your back. If you take him up, you
will surely lose by trick he's got. He
invariably offers to lay this wager and
always wins.'
Very well,' said the traveller, ST will
not let him get ahead of me. Much
obliged for the caution.'
The evening arrived, and large
crowd was collected in the bar room.
Our friends were there, and old Joe
Poole was present and in his element.
Il tell you wh.what. You are nicely
dressed, but I'll bet you ten dollars, you
haven't got a whole sh-shirt to your
back.'
'I'll take the bet,' said the stranger.
Put the money in the landlords hands.
This being done, the traveller pulled
off his coat and was about following
suit with his vest, when old Joe cried
out
'Ho.ho.hold on! You've lost! Ha-
half your shirt is fr-front, and the other
half is on your ba-back y
There was a roar of laughter, but the
new conner did not mind it, but pulled
off his vest too, and quietly turning his
back to Joe displayed to his astonished
gaze a shirt neatly folded and placed
underneath his suspenders.
or course the laugh was turned upon
Poole, who acknowledged that he had
lost the wager. He never offered that
het again.

How HE Cor OUr.-Max Adler, in
speaking of solitary confinement, re-
Gently said; "When we lived out in
Missouri, many years ago, there was a
law prohibiting the system of solitary
confinement In the State and county
prisons. So, in our town, q man named
Tucker was convicted OF crime and
sent to Jail. The jail was empty before
Tucker came, and after he had been in
it forty-eight hours his lawyer moved
for his discharge upoh the ground that,
as Tucker was alone, his imprisonment
was in violation of the law. The Judge
thought about 1t all night, and stirred
around among his law books, and the
next day Tucker was set at liberty.
They changed that statute the very
next year.

Town Pride.

AOWn EFkHe.
In striking contrast with the dispos tion
manifested in some of our Valley towns,
we find IN cur own place, blu. little effort to
improve The appearance Of our houses, streets
and public grounds. With the debt which
has been permitted 10 accumulate, we are
not Surprised that the council does not in
-augurate a.system of rapid improvement
But great deal could be done b. private
enterpr lie or by the united action of tho
young people Of our town. Among The inls
movements which would add to the ap
pearance of the town aud to the comfort of
the citizens, We would suggest, The planting
Of trees along the s reefs and especially iii
front cffhe Court House and upon the street
leading from the Court House to the depot
Trees should be planted in the Court House
yard, and in the lot owned by the Episcopal
Church. The corporation has about fortyo
FIVE acres Of ground lying Along The western
side g the place. If portion of this were
planted in trses, sliubbcfy &c. il would be a
delightful place of resort during the sum-

question, and if we can get our peoplc in

maas, at very little cost, one of the most
