n6r At a recent school exhibition which
came off a short time since, one of the little
boys who had grudge against his pedagogue
OH account ofa recent Aogging, is said to have
delivered this pointed grafton:
"Oh Lord Of Love,
Look from above
On us poor little scholars;
We've had fool
To teach our school,
And paid him fifty dollars

s9- A near sighted gentleman met an &C.
quaintance on Liberty street one afternoon,
whom he saluted by name. "That amt my
name" protested the other. "Thst amt your
manner" repeated the saluter with some asper-
ity. "Certainly not" said the stranger.
"What's the reason it ain't?" demanded the
near sighted gentleman, with very severe
look. But not having prepared himself for
such question, the abashed stranger shrunk
away, but finally answered, "Pm id if I
know, but can prove it."

a@ In St. Paul, a young man treated his
sweetheart to the circus, and accidentally be-
came separated from her. After searching
distractedly for half an hour, he discovered
his adored imbibing lemonade with rival.
Jerking off his coat he was soon engaged with
his hated enemy in rough and tumble fight.
The damsel looked coolly on, as they gouged
each others eyes, and finally remarked ::
Eight it out, you chaps; I'm going with the
feller who'll take me to the show tonight"

UNDUE THOUGHT.

How can the command, "Take no thought
for the morrow" be reconciled with the kind
of anticipation and preparation which seem
to distinguish the civilized man from the hun
ter of the woods? The answer lies in our
experience. Have we found that anxiety
about the possible consequences increased the
clearness Of our judgment, made us wiser and
braver in meeting the present, and arming
ourselves for the future? Is it this kind of
temper which enables man to plough the
ground, to SOW the seed in the appointed
month, to wait patiently for the harvest? Is
it the temper which would have enabled any
sailor, any merchant, to venture himself or
his goods upon the deep? We know per-
fectly we'll that the most opposite habit of
mind to this, a simple and hearty reliance
upon power whom the ground and the
waves obey, could alone have made such acts
and enterprises possible. Clearness of vision,
providence, discovery, are the rewards Of the
calm and patient spirit. The cases are rare
indeed where they have been givento any
other. Out of that care for the morrow which
our Lord denounces, springs the fever of spec
ulation, the Fastening to be rich, endless
scheming, continual reactions of fantastic
hope, and deep depression in individuals, Of
mad prosperity and intense suffering in ma.
tions. If we had prayed for this days bread,
and left the next to itself, if we had not hud-
died our days together, not allotting to each
its appointed task, but ever defering that to
the future, and drawing upon the future for
its own troubles which must be met when they
come whether we have anticipated them or
not, we should have found sim ,licity and
honesty in our lives, capacity for work, an
enjoyment in it, to which we are now for the
most part strangers. Here, believe, we
shall find abundant matter for confession, il
we look faithfully into our lives.-Maurice

BESSIE AND THE HENS.

Twas busy Monday morning,
And baby Bessie's mother
Tried to find place for Bessie,
Where she would not be bother.
So she took new clothes-basket,
And put the baby in it,
And set it just outside the door,
In her own sight each minute.
And shen size sprinkled crumbs and corn
All round about the basket,
And called the hens to help themselves,
Prince, Pet, ard old Nantasket.
And baby Bess enjoyed the fun,
Till trouble came to dash it;
She reached 10 far to grab Pets tail,
And over wenl the basket.
Away flew Prince, md Pet, and Nan,
Almost in fits of terror;
While Bessie screamed and mamma ran,
And Kate cried, "Wurra! warra"
The hens came back to eat the corn
When all the noise was ended;
But Bessie sat in mammals lap,
Till her small heart was mended.

A REMEDY FOR BoTs IN HoRsEs.-The
Practical Farmer contains the following rene
dy for bots "Fill an ordinary junk bottle
half full of molasses; then fill with sweet
milk shake the contents and then drench !;
follow the above in about an hour with strong
sage tea, made Of ordinary garden sage; next
day give the horse feed of rough rice, and
the dead bots will be elected with the rice.
My theory is that the milk and molasses
being sweeter than blood, the bots will turn
loose to eat it. The sage tea will kill them,
and it is the only thing ever heard of that
will do with it without injury to the horse.
The rice will dislodge the dead bots better
than salts; in fact, if you will give horses a
feed Of rough rice every two weeks, I do not
think there is the least danger from bots; at
least such is my experience. AS proof of
what have written, get two sage leaves, dip
them in hot water, lay one down and put a
lively bot on it, then cover him with the other,
and he will die instantly. Sage tea I have
also found very beneficial in collie; it is per-
fectly harmless if it does no good"

The FIRST FORGED BANK NorE.-Sixty-
four years after the establishment of the
Bank of England the first forged note was
presented for payment, and to Richard Will
liam Vaughn, Stafford linen draper, belongs
the melancholy celebrity of having led the
van in this new phase of crime, in the year
1853. The records of his life do not show
want, beggary or starvation urging him, but
a simple desire to seem greater than he was.
By one of the artists employed (and there
were several engaged on different parts of the
notes) the discovery was made. The criminal
had filled up the number of twenty, and de-
posted them in the hands of young lady to
whom he was attached, as proof of his
wealth. There is no calculating how much
longer bank notes might have been free from
imitation had this man not shown with what
ease they might be counterfeited. From this
period forged notes became common.

THE BOY THAT WAS NOT REMARKABLE.

THE BOY THAT WAS NOT REMARKABLE.
Most boys who "get into the newspapers"
are very remarkable boys.
Joe had nothing about his looks or actions
or color that attracted the particular atten-
tion of anybody.
When he first breathed the vital air he was
simply baby-boy, with two hands, two feet,
two eyes, two ears, one mouth, and one nose.
He did not laugh and crow, and sit upright,
as geniuses do in their babyhood, but he slept
and walked and ate (baby food of course) and
cried like any common baby.
When he grew older there we're no uncom-
mon developments, except that he was fat
healthy, and heavy.
Nobody congratulated the mother on rails
ing a future President nor applauded the
bright genius that sparkled in the boys eyes,
The gossipers looked wonderingly as the ten
der mother watched over her baby-boy; pro-
vided for his comfort and, pressed him to her
warm bosom.
He grew to boyhood, but he was only a
common boy. He learned his A G with
difficulty, and was slow in learning to read
His teacher thought he would never "get
through the multiplication table," But ne
never forgot 1t.
When the boys went fishing Joe went too,
but he was slow in getting his hook and line
ready. The other boys we're on, and in, and
around the lake before his hook was fairly
settled in the water. "Too slow to move" the
boys would say. "He'll sit there expecting
the fish to come to him. 1t was even 80; he
remained stationary and fixed but when
night came, somehow his basket was always
full, while many of the bright, talking gen
fuses went home with the sad intelligence that
the fish "wouldn't bite"
When he grew to be man, the bustllng
driveaheads laughed at his plodding; but by
some means he never made mistake, and
though i've did not seem to accomplish as
much in week as many others do IN day,
yet at the end of the year there was always
something tangible in his results, while the
work of those who seemed to utterly outstrip
him at first ended in demolished air-castles
He has passed the meridian Of life. Men
eminent in the profession respect his judg-
ment. Business men coming upon the stage
of action long to learn the secret of his sue
cess. The bank leans upon him to carry it
through the trying crisis; merchants and
manufacturers lean upon him to save them
from bankruptcy. Steady, constant and hard
stud y made him scholar; persevering indus
try, accompanied with economy, raised him to
opulence close observation and deliberate re-
Election cultivated a sound Judgment and
honesty and integrity secured for him the con-
fdence Of all who knew him. Christian Ad-
! Vocate.

b9n An old Scotch lady had an evening

COOP STocK.-A celebrated Irish farmer
gives this advice to one young in the stock,
raising business: Gas breeder, you must be
careful not to lose the calffesh. If you do so
by starving the animal at any any time of its
growth, you lose the cream-the covering of
flesh 80 much priced by all our retail butchers.
If the calfhesh is once lost, it can never be
regained. A great deal of tallow may be got
internally by high feeding, but the animal
can never again be made one that will be
priced by the great retail butcher.

b@- "Humph" !" said an Englishman to a
Scotchman, as they were walking over the
fields, coats are all very we'll in their way,
but in England we feed them to our horses,
while here they are food for men," CAY,
ay!' said the Scotchman, "an' just see what
fine horses there are in England, and what
fine men we have in Scotland!"

srA1Ns.-Ifyou have been picking or hand
ling any acid fruit and have stained your
hands, wash them in clear water, wipe them
lightly, and while they are yet moist strike q
match and shut your hands around it so as to
catch the smoke and the stain will disap-
pear
If you have stained your muslin or ging-
ham dress, or white pants, with berries, before
wetting the cloth with anything else, pour
boiling water on the stains and they will dis
appear. Before fruit juice dries it can often
be removed by cold water, using sponge or
towel, if necessary. Rubbing the fingers with
the inside of the parings Of apple will remove
most of the stain caused by pairing.
Ink, if it be washed out or sopped up from
the carpet with cold water Immediately after
spilled, can be almost entirely removed.

CURIOUS CUsToM.-The causes for which
Mahomedan woman may demand divorce
are clearly and broadly laid down in the Ko-
ran, and her evidence is sufficient, because the
Mahomedan law supposes that woman must
be violently aggrieved before the modesty Of
her sex will allow her to appear in public with
such an application. So careful is this law
to spare her feelings, that she is not even re-
quired to recount her injuries, unless of her
own free will all she has to do is to place
her slipper reversed-that is with the sole
upward-before the cadi, and the case is fin.
ished; the divorce is granted without further
inquiry.

NOTHING TO DO.

There is a period in almost every young
mans life when he scarcely knows what to
do. This is especially true of young men
who have been engaged in acquiring litera-
ry and scientific education, and of the sons of
those who are in good circumstances in life.
There is another class Of young men of whom
it is true also. This claNs is composed Of
young men and boys who are provided for in
every respect by their parents The parents
of this class of young people toll and labor,
and the children play or work mischief just
as they please. It matters not to which Of
these classes young man belongs it is sore
temptation to have nothing to do. Such a
condition of things will, in short time, work
the ruin of the best and brightest boy in the
world. 1t may seem hard, but the moral
character can be preserved pure and unfair
nished in no other way but by having some
thing to do, and by doing it. Labor is the
mother of wealth and the guardian Of purity.
All great and good men have been hard
workers. The moral powers of no man, much
less of boy, are able successfully to resist,
for any considerable length of time, the temp
tations which beset the individual who has
nothing to do. They are more than match
for human nature. The damages of one idle
day often are so many and so great, that it
requires whole year to repair them; and not
unfrequently, life is too short to replace
things as they were before an idle day. The
human family are doomed to toll, and the
only safeguard to the individual members of
the race is to submit cheerfully.
No work that is useful is disgraceful. 1t
matters not how hard it may be. Solong as it
tends to advance the welfare Of the laborer
and the prosperity of society in general, it is
honorable 1t is always better to be engaged
in some honorable work than to be doing
nothing. Wealth and decency is the inheri-
lance of the laboring man, and poverty and
shame is the portion Of the individual who
always has nothing to do.

THAT ONE DRoP.-For two years past
have been laboring to save an inebriate. After
several relapses, be became perfectly sober
and gave hope of permanent reform. His
wife remarked, eff he falls again it will kill
me-" Things went on smoothly several
months. That once darkened home had be-
come once more sunny spot. But one day
the reformed man met an old friend, who in
vited him to dinner At the table wine was
furnished, and the entertainer pressed the re-
formed inebriate to take glass with him.
He knew the mans former habits. The un-
happy man swallowed one glass, and it un-
chained the demon in a moment. From that
hour to this my poor friend has hardly seen
sober day, and nothing but miracle of
Gods grace will ever lift him from the bot
tomless pit into which one treacherous glass of
champagne hurled him in an instant. In
this case it is not difficult to decide who was
the greatest sinner The man who urges re-
formed inebriate to touch drop of intoxica-
ting liquors deserves to be imprisoned for ten
years at hard labor. He is not a safe person
to run at large, for where is the moral differ
ence of assassination with knife, and assas-
sination with a social glass of poison
