Ten Hard Dollars.

Those people who are inter-
ested in hard money will per-
haps be profted by reading the
following from the q Chfistai;,.
Reskly, by DR. Spaulding;
"My father was a poor man.
A large and growing family was
de pcndent on him for its daily
bread. Coming home, from
a neighboring town with ten
hard earned dollars in his pock-
ct, he lost them in a light snow.
Long and fruitless was the
search for them. After the
snow the search renewed with
the same result. The snow fell
and melted again for a whole
generation, and still the lost
dollars was fresh in our family
circle; for a silver dollar to a
poor man in those days was lar
ger-t than a full moon. ~
&"About a mile away lived an
other father Of a family in SIM
liar circumstances. He, too,
knew how much a dollar cost
dug out of the heart Of a rocky
farm. At least once or oftener
every week for forty years he
had occasion to pass. our door,
giving and receiving the COM
mon neighborly salutations, and
every time with a weight in
creasingly heavy on his. con-
science, But all such pressures
has its limit; and when that is
reached the crash is greater for
the severity Of the strain. In
this instance twas as when an
old oak rends its body and
breaks its limbs in falling. i
""0ne day, completely broken
down, he came to my father in
tears, eonfessing:- found
your dollars lost in the snow for
ty years ago. They have been
hard dollars, to me, and I can
carry them no longer. Lam

your forgiveness, and as soon as
I can l will pay you the inter

Meanness to Ministers.


Meanness to Ministers.
4 Froh. the New York >oBserver.)
a. heap Of letters, filled with
cases of hardship ard suffering
and base treatment endured by
ministers of the Gospel, lies be,
fore me. Verify, I do not know
what is wisest to do with them
One man writes to me that the
publication of the otler cases has
already deferred his son from
thinking of the ministry, to which
he was devoted; and then the faith.
er goes on to relate the following
A TURKEY DINNER.
"Just before Thanksgiving, a
church member went to his minis
ter and offered him a turkey for
Thanksgiving dinner. The min
lister thankfully accepted it, and,
in token of his gratitude, invited
the gentleman q to dine with
him on Thanksgiving day. Accor-
'dingIy he, with his entire family
( a family larger than the minis,
ter's,) took dinner with their pas
tor-ate roast turkey and a great
many other good things, and had
good time generally. When
this man went to pay to the treas
urer his subscription Of FIVE dol
lars (how do you like that sub
scription from a man worth ten
or fifteen thousand dollars) be
deducted from it seventy-fve
cents-the full price of turkey
at that time. Can the word mean
express the quality of that act?"
If one who douqts the expedi-
ency ofpublishing these cases sends
me such an one as that-and it Is
certainly as mean as any yet fur
nished-it is quite probable that
he and others think that, on the
whole, the truth should be tcld.

How To Put CHILDREN TO BED

YOU ever heard little creature signing

Il kiss and blessing. The time will
come, all too soon, when they will Law
their heads upon their pillows, lacking
both. Let them then at least have this
sweet memory of ii happy childhood.
of which no future sorrow or trouble can
rob them. Give them their rosy youth.
Nor need this involve wild license. The
.iudicious parent will not so mistake my
meaning. If you have ever met the

suddenly filled when little child has
crept trustingly to its mothers breast,
