exactly; they couldn't tell themselves within

pa If you say that many Of those who make
a profession of religion do not live in accord
ance with that profession, my reply is that it
is with this as with other things. You never
saw an apple tree that did not have fifty
blossoms where there was one that set and
came to fruit. And it may be true that in a
community where fifty men are impressed
with religion, only one will become ripe
Christian, while all the rest will, more or less,
lose their impressions, and relapse into differ
ent degrees of inferiority all the way down.

THE OLD SNAIL AND THE FLY.

Dreaming in the sunshine, reposing on a
dock-leaf, was as beautiful fly as ever
spread wing. He was awakened by the
sky lark's song and hurried out to view the
glores of the day, uttering no thanksgiving,
but boasted as he few-"who 50 beautiful as
1? The golden cups and primroses are all
mine to hold my breakfast, so I'll just help
myself"
The old snail, crawling on a stony wall,
warned him of the swallow flying in the lane,
and of the spider making his net, telling him
they cared nothing for beauty, and if either OF
them caught him, he would surely die. But
the silly young fly said mockingly, eff were
a dull, old stupid thing like you, might
fear. Get back into your Shiny shell, you are
an old slow-coach am young and bold?"
So the proud fly flew away, but soon being
tired and thirsty, sparkling dew-drop at
tracted him. It lay on carpet, spread over
bush, carpet soft as velvet. "And this is
for me" he boasted, show nice! Old Snail
ought to see this!" Then waving his plumes,
he lit down on the carpet so soft; but alas
When once his feet touched it, he could not
get away and out from its. hiding-place a
hideous spider came. Here was the very
danger the snail foresaw.
The spider bound him with cobweb chains
he knew he was doomed to die, and in his
latest moments made penitent confession Of
his folly.
"What proud, foolish thing was, despi.
sing the wise old snail, who would have kept
me safe. If had not Knocked his age, |
might still spread my wings, and share my
Creators bounties."
Now, dear little friends, if you know of any
who are too wise in their own conceit, tell
them this story of the "Old Snail and the
Fly" and when old people warn you, don't
despise them because they are slow, but be
guided by their counsel, and you shall walk
safely.

while on bender, recently, made mistake
very natural to one in his condition. He i'm
agined that he was indulging in copious liba
tions of benzine, when, in fact, he was drink
ing genuine linseed OIL Shortly after John
felt queer taste coming into his mouth. The
first idea that occurred to him was that he
was poisoned. A physician was sent for, and
he applied a stomach pump.
"Is there arsenic in it, doctor?" family en-
qured the patient.
"No," replied the Esculapus, ''it smells
like newly painted house"
"What" screamed John.
"It smells like newly painted house" re-
peated the physician.

Amendments to the Constitution.

The Constitution of this State
Art. xiv, sec. /, (too long to quote)
provides for amendments to the same
by a bill of the Legislature, to be
passed by three-ffths of all the mem
bers elected to each of the two Houses !;
which bill shall then be presented at
the next general election, to the peo-
pie of the State for ratification, for
which a majority simply, OF the votes
cast, suffices.
We make note of this provision on
account of the frequently expressed
opinion by many, that amendments
were to be had only through conven-
tions called for the purpose--a tardy
and expensive method indeed. This,
however, was the only means under
the Constitution of 1851, and one OF
the three means provided by that OF
1864.
In our case, therefore, the amend
ment would be finally passed upon by
both Legislature and the people In
ten months from the meeting OF the
former in January next, as our con-
gressional election takes place next
fall; CITIZEN.
