sG That's q Man,

A farmer in Illinois had neighbor a.
cross the Wabash in Indiana who was
keeping a pauper on contract at his
house. In corn hoeing season the Illinois
man sometimes borrowed his neighbor' s
pauper to help in the corn field. Bill
Turner had pauper working for him, and
as some of the people in the neighborhood
had never seen pauper, they were very
anxious to get peep at him. Consequent
ly some twenty of them Joined together one
day, armed with their shotguns and rifles,
and went over to Turner's to see the strange
creature. They got cautiously across the
fence, and came up to where the men were
working.
"Bill, +" said Silas Brown their spokes-
man, we've heard that you've got pauper
working for you, and we'd like TO see it,"
Bill thereupon pointed out the object OF
their curiosity. The visitor walked around
the astonished pauper and silently survey
ed him from every point Of view. AT last
Silas spoke;--
"Look here, Bill Turner" said he, "you
can't fool us; that's q man y el
We wish all those in charge Of charita-

Proverbs.

Amos Atkins was very fond of proverbs.
He read proverbs, wrote proverbs, and spoke
proverbs and meet him when you would,
he had always proverb ON his lips. When
he once began to speak, there was hardly
any stopping him.
When / first met Amos I was on my way
to my uncle's. A long walk it was but l
told him hoped to be there before night.
cay, ay," said he, "Hope is good
breakfast, but bad supper. Put your
best foot foremost, boy, or else you will not
be there. 1t is good thing to hope but
he who does nothing but hope is in very
hopeless way.
"Have a care of your temper for pas
sionate boy rides pony that runs away
with him. Passion has done more mischief
in the world than all the poisonous plants
that grow in it. Therefore, again say,
have care of your temper.
Remember that the first spark burns
the house down. Quench the first spark of
passion, and all will be well. No good
comes of wrath it puts no money in the
pocket, and no joy in the heart. Anger be-
gins with folly, and ends with repentance
" If you put hot coal in your pocket, it
will burn its way out. Ay, and so will a
bad deed that is hidden make itself known.
A fault concealed is fault doubled !; and so
you will find it all through life. Never hide
your faults, but confess them, and seek,
through Gods help, to overcome them.
"Waste not a moment of your time for
a moment of time is moment of mercy.
"Now, step forward, boy and, as you
walk along, think of the half dozen prov
erbs given you by Amos Atkins"

WI,m Too RnsY.N

A merchant sat at his office-desk Va
rious letters were spread out before him.
His whole being was absorbed in the intri-

A jealous friend of religion entered the
office.

good man.
"Sir, you must excuse me-" said the
merchant, "I'm too busy to attend to that
subject now"
"When shall call again, sir 9''
"I cannot tell. Pm busy every day.
Excuse me, sir wish you a good morn

The merchant frequently repulsed the
friends of humanity in this manner.
One morning disagreeable stranger
stepped very softly TO his side, laying a
cold moist hand upon his brow, and say

SUNDAY BEADING.
Sowing and ReapInr.

. |
AChristian gentleman was staying few
days with q farmer who, though man of
sound sense and many amiable traits was a
neglecter Of religion and known to be both
passionate and profane. He,was an excel
lent farmer, priding himself not little on
the fine appearance and thorough culture
of his farm, and evidently was pleased with
his guest, who was man of winning man
ners and extensive information.
One day, as the gentleman walked out
where the farmer was scattering his seed
broadcast in the field, he inquired
What are you sowing, Mr.. H.-?''
"Wheat," was the answer. ts,
"And what do you expect to reap from
it ?n r o.f .f.... ..,i
a"Why, wheat of course, y said the farmer.
At The close of the day, as all were gath
cred in the family circle, some little thing
provoked the farmer, and at once he flew
into violent passion, and forgetting in his
excitement the presence of his guest, swore
most profanely. ss.... ......
The latter who was sitting next him, at
once, and in a low and serious tone said.
Sand what are you sowing now9'
The farmer seemed startled. A new
meaning at once flashed on him from the
question of the morning. uha Ieta
s"What - he said, In subdued and
thoughtful tone, "do you take such serious
views of life as that, such serious views of
every mood and word and actionp'' -
"Yes," F" was the reply ; I" for every mood
helps to form the permanent temper, and
for every word we must give account, and
every act but aids to form habit, and hab-
its are to the soul what the veins and arter-
les are to the blood, the courses in which it
moves, and will move forever. By all these
things we are forming character, and that
character will so with us to eternity, and
according toit will be our destiny forever"
1t was new and startling view to the
farmer, who though sensible and thoughtful
on most matters, had given little thought
to the subject of religion. Whatsoever a
man soweth, that shall he also reap.''-

A Vermont Ennnar.

Three or four years after the war of 1912,
before the jealousy and bitterness that had
been ranking in the minds of Englishmen
and Americans ever sin ce its termination
had passed away, a frigate of which Gre
CORY was executive officer was lying in the
harbor of Rio Janeiro. There were several
English men-of-war in port, and the older
officers were careful to prevent collisions
between the sailors of the different ships.
One fine day the gunners of British ship
of the line and frigate got permission to
exercise the great guns by firing at mark.
A large hogshead or other cask was anchor
ed at suitable distance, about two miles
off, and the frigate and seventy-four we re
both blazing away at it. Some half doz-
EN- shots had been fired by each, and the
mark had not been hit. With the aid of a
glass it could be seen that some of the balls
fell near it, while others fell short or struck
a long way off. There were large number
of ships in port, and the gunnery practice
attracted general attention, and many sar-
castle comments were made upon the un-
skilful firing of John Bull. The Yankee
sailors were much excited, and their own
superior gunnery was loudly asserted
Meantime the firing was continued, and
with similar result. At last one of the
experts of the frigate, unable to control
himself, implored Mr.. Gregory to let him
have one crack at the barrel. He was
sternly rebuked and ordered to quarters.
The fellow was a long-limbed, powerful
Vermonter, an old tar, but with much of
his mothers habits and peculiarities hang
! ing about him. Returning to his mess
mates, he swore with outlandish oaths that
it was shame he couldn't give "them
Britishers q lesson" Presently he inquired
of the lieutenant how much it would cost
for one shot at the cask. "Such logging
as you have long deserved" said Mr.. Gre
CORY. Anything else, sir?" inquired
Jonathan, as he turned away. In less than
minute, "bang" went a thirty-two, and
the British mark was knocked all to pieces.
Mr.. Gregory at once ordered the man un-
der arrest, and sent him on board the En-
glish frigate with note explaining the
matter. There was great excitement on
board the ship. The Yankee gunner was
complimented for the accuracy of his shot,
the British sailors were reproached for their
clumsy shooting, and the Vermonter re-
turned to his vessel filled with grog and
with ten guineas in his pocket

Irish Wit.

The late James T. Brady, was very fond
of the natural ready wit of his countrymen.
One day. speaking Of this to friend, he
said, "I'Il just show you sample. I'll
speak to any of these men at wor k, and
you'll see that will get my answer"
Stepping up to some men at work on cell
lar near by he spoke to them cheerfully
"Good day, good day to you, boys. That
looks like hard work for you.
"Faix an it is, was the answer" or we
wonldn't be havin' the doin' of it."
