GOOD NATURE.

There are some things that, for two reasons,
cannot be bought. The one reason is, no per-
son has any of these things to sell. They are
not kept in stores and exposed for sale to the
highestbidder. The other reason is, that even
were they offered for sale, no one would be able
topurchase them. They are worth more than
silver and gold. Amongst those possessions
which can neither be bought nor sold, may be
mentioned good nature. So far as comfort is
concerned, gold is worthless when compared
with good nature. A genial smile, gentle
word, and obliging disposition, win for us
friends, when gold, without these, only makes
US enemies To the good natured every thing
wears smile. The sun shines bright, the
air is balmy, and thereis beauty in everything.
To the i'll natured and grabbed nothing is
right. The sun shines too hot, or the wind
blows too cold. There is too much or too
little rain. The trees are too high or too
low. Men and things are all mean. The
whole world is against such persons. Moth
ing gives them any pleasure. Every thing
and everybody is against them. A heavy
frown rests upon their brow, and harsh and
unpleasant words are always proceeding from
their mouths. Little things and great things
are all alike with the ill-natured and peevish.
Nothing good nothing is as it ought to be-
Their clothes are all wrong. The man that
made them was no account. He had either no
sense, or he was mad at them, and made them
wrong, out of spite. The bed they sleep in is
either too hard or too soft. The covering is
either too heavy or too light They 60 to bed
fretting, and they rise up complaining. Poor,
miserable creatures! They can get nothing
that is fit to eat. Every article of food tastes
bad. Nothing is palatable. Corn bread is too
coarse, it hurts their mouths and the biscuit
are always sad or hard, too much or too little
soda or shortening in them. They have
nothing to commend, but everything to Gen.
sure. Such a temperament makes life actu-
ally miserable. Good nature, on the contra
ry, makes the best of everything. If things
are not right, good nature, as we'll as good
sense, enables its possessor to say that things
might be great deal worse than they are.
The good natured lad concludes that although
corn bread is coarse, it is great deal better
than no bread at all. His bed may be hard,
and his clothes not very comfortable; but still
he does not complain, for he knows some
children who have no bed but bunk of
straw, and whose clothes are all rags and
tags.

FUNERAL FEEs-A bill was introduced
into the Indiana Legislature by Gen. Blocher,
fixing the fees for preachers officiating at fl-
nerals and making the same lien on the
estate of the deceased. No action was taken
till the closing session of the House, when a
member called it up. The following is a
transcript of the official register:
Gen. Blocher said:
Mr.. Speaker, I reckon it's leetle too late
in the moon to take any action on this bill,
and I therefore shan't have much to say about
it. I only regret that the bill didn't pass,
for I don't think there's any class Of people
more deserving or more entitled to considera-
tion or who get less of it than the preachers.
I'm tired of seeing preachers working for
nothing, and begging for their living. The
fact is, in this country there's only three ways
ofgetting living-a fellow must either work !,
beg or steal; and I'm sorry to say that the
preachers down our way, though they work
hard enough, have to beg to get along.
Mr.. Thayer-I would ask the gentleman
from Scott if the preachers in his section of
the country derive the chief part Of their in
come from preaching funeral sermons?
Gen. Blocher-No, sir; the preachers down
our way have to cut hoop-poles for living.
Why, it was only a short time ago, down
there I went out to get preacher to preach
funeral sermon, and I found him in the
woods with load of hoop-poles on his back,
and there weren't enough clothes on that man
to wad shot gun. think this bill ought to
have passed, and my only regret is that it
failed to receive proper consideration.
And the General sat down amidst perfect
storm of applause.

To SUNDAY SKATERs-Little Charlie May
was just ten years old, and the pride and joy
of widowed mothers heart. He was very
kind and affectionate to his mother, but was
easily led astray by other boys.
Charlie was very punctual in his attend
ance at Sunday-school, but was overtaken on
his way there one Sunday morning by boy
named Walter Brooks. This boy never went
to Sunday-school himself, and always tried to
keep other boys from going. He saluted
Charlie thus:
"Say, Charlie, where are you going?"
"Im going to sunday-school," answered
Charlie.
"Oh come and go with me, urged Wal
ter, "and we will have some fun"
"Where are you going?" asked Charlie
"Down to the creek to skate" replied Wal
ter
II don't like to 60 skating on Sunday"
said Charlie
"You'd better go," resumed Walter, "the
creek is in splendid condition for skating, and
you'll never get better chance this winter"
"That's So" said Charlie, slowly; "but l
don't want to 60 home after my skates
"Ob! never mind your skates" added
Walter, "come along, and I'll lend you mine"
Charlie went without further persuasion,
and they soon reached the creek, which was
crowded with bad boys, who were skating on
the Lords holy day.
"Charlie, you stay here, until I take turn
on the ice" said Walter, "and then you may
skate awhile"
Call right" replied Charlie.
After Walter had skated for some time he
offered his skates to Charlie, who took them,
and was soon on the ice. He did not notice
that the ice was rapidly melting, but kept on
skating and rollicking with the other boys.
Suddenly there was splash and Charlie
went under the ice and was drowned.
Those who carried Charlie home never for.
got the scene that ensued. The anguish of
that heart-broken mother was heart'rending.
My dear children, may this child's fate
teach you lesson. Always 60 to Sunday
school and Remember the Sabbath day to
keep it holy."-Episcopal Methodist.

THE WORLD WITHOUT CHURCH.

There are many persons in Christian lands
who are openly opposed to Christianity; many
who have name to live, but are spiritually
dead +; and many who, if they could, would
Danish every vestige of Christianity from the
world. Such persons surely do not consider
what an amount of real injury the accom-
plishment of their desires would effect. All
the natural and artificial relations which ex-
ist amongst men, would be suddenly destroyed.
The relationships of husband and wife, parent
and child, brother and sister, would, as they
now exist, cease to be. So far as these relation
ships would exist, they would be similar to
the natural ties which obtain amongst the wild
beasts. Agriculture, commerce and manufac-
lures, the arts and sciences, in their useful
application to the necessities Of our natures,
would cease at once Peace and harmony
would bid an adieu to our world, and the
worst passions Of our nature would be in
the ascendency. The school house, the TO-
rum, every thing that morally or intellectu-
ally raises man above the brute, would cease
to have place on this world Of ours. Take
the church and its social and moral influence
from the world, and the only pillar which
prevents it from rushing speedily to hopeless
ruin, is removed. The in6del and scoffer
surely have no proper idea Of the ruin which
they would bring upon the world by banish-
ing the church. Better blot out the sun and
wrap the world in physical night, than des-
troy the church. In the one case, the body
would be subjected to gloom in the other,
the soul would be trapped in moral night.

CHARITY ENYIETH NOT.

In all Barker Academy there was not a
pleasanter boy than John Elliott He was
ready at work, and at play; willing to help
slow boys with their lessons; willing to take
the places in the games that no one else liked
to fill; willing to lend his skates, his books,
or his knife to any one who cared to borrow.
All his schoolmates liked him, with one
exception. In Jasper Gray's eyes John El-
liott could do nothing right. If he ever
missed in class, which happened but seldom,
Jasper was glad. If he distinguished him:
self, Jasper was unhappy. He never heard
him praised without putting in some sneering
remark, or going into an argument to show
that John deserved no particular credit
"How very we'll John spoke this afternoon"
said Andrew Lyon one day.
"Pooh' said Jasper, "every one knows
what fine speaker lawyer Elliott is Of
course he showed his son. guess we could
all speak as well if we only had as good a
chance"
"Well, his father didn't write his piece for
him, any way"
"That's more than you know"
"No, it isn't, I saw him write it"
"Well, it wasn't much of a piece, anyhow"
"It seems as if John could do anything he
put his hand to-" remarked another boy.
"How we'll he can row boatW
"Pooh!' said Jasper, "Ive got a cousin
that can row ten times better than he can.
His rowing amt much, !" and he turned away.
"What does make Jasper talk 80" asked
Andrew, whenever any one says a word
about John? John always treat him we'll"
''Ill tell you why" said Mark, his brother,
"John's got a watch, and Jasper hasn't.
Johns got pony, and Jasper don't own one.
Johns father lives in large house, and JAS
per's in little one. Johns father is rich,
and Jasper and his family are not very we'll
off; and as long as that is the state of the
case, Jasper never will see anything good in
John.'
Such was indeed the truth. Jasper was
envious, and envy can never judge righteous

Vows.-A country parson preaching one
Lords day from the text, "Vow and pay unto
the Lord your VOWS" in the course of his re-
marks, proved pretty conclusively that after
person had made VOW it was his duty to
perform it. Directly after service sort Of
half breed Indian, not at all companionable,
to say the least, came to the divine, saying:
II VOW 60 home with you
"Then you must CO." was the unhesitating
reply.
II vow I stay to supper" said he on arriv-
ing at the gate.
There was no alternative, so the minister
invited him in.
II VOW I stay all nigh" was the cool asser-
ton, as he drew away from the table.
The good man saw that submission ceased
to be virtue, and, without any susceptible
sign of discontinue, said
"You are welcome tonight, but VOW you
shall 60 in the morning"

ONE BErrER.-An old joker who was never
known to yield the palm to any antagonist in
reeling knotty yarns, was put to his trumps
at hearing traveller state that he once saw
brick house placed upon runners and drawn
up hill to a more favorable location, some
half mile distant.
"What do you think of that, uncle Ethiel?"
said the bystanders.
"Oh, fudge" said the old man; 81 once
saw a two-story stone house, down East, drawn
by oxen three miles p
A dead silence ensued; the old man evi-
dently had the worst of it, and he saw it.
Gathering all his energies, he bit off a huge
quid of tobacco, by the way of gaining time
for thought.
"They drawed the stone house." said the old
man, ejecting a quantity of tobacco juice to-
ward the fireplace; but that warn't the worst
of the job; for, after they'd done that, they
went back and drawed the cellar"
The stranger gave in.

STRIKE THE KNoT.-When we were quite
little boys, our father began to teach us to
work, and we were anxious to perform the
allotted tasks. We were splitting wood.
A rough stick, with a most obstinate knot,
tried all the skill and strength of weak
arm, and we were about to relinquish the
task when our father came along. He saw
that the piece of wood had been Clipped
down and the knot hacked around, and took
the ak, saying, "Always strike the knot. "
The words have remained safe in my memo
ry. They are precious words, reader; never
try to shun difficulty, but look it right in
the face

WHAT Is A PROFESSOR ?-The learned
Professor F. went into the country last sum-

ing, after the arrival of the Professor, the
two friends went out for a ride in the woods.
They had not proceeded far before they came
to set of bars, and the gentlemen, seeing a
stout boy standing near, asked him to take
them down, when the following dialogue took
place:
"What shall I take them down for?'

a Hartford livery stable keeper who was 10th
to let his best rig to stranger. The German
was bound to have his ride, and agreed to

turned the stable keeper might refund the
money. This was done, and the team re-
turned and money refunded, when the Ger
man started to 60. "Hold on" said the man
of horses, "you have not paid your horse

TIT FOR TAT.-A dashing fellow, who
seemed to think he manifested his superiority
by the disdain he exhibited of anything like
courtesy to the humble, was driving his gig
one rainy day, when he came to toll-bar,
and haug ghtily asked what he was to pay.
"Ten cents, ifyou please" said the civil gate
keeper. Instead of handing the money to
him, our graduate threw quarter of dollar
carelessly on the wet and muddy ground.
"There, take your change out of that" The
keeper stopped for the silver, and placing the
change exactly on the samespot, walked coolly
into the cottage
