THE STOCKING Toon.

A pretty little story tells Us of the
invention of the stocking loom: VIII
liam Lee was q gay young student at
Oxford, who saw among othe Greek
letters. Of his Had only the bright
leyesof theinn-keepeFls daughter, and
heard in the professor g ZONES but the
lcltokO of her swift knitting needless
In despair be threw away his books,
hurried 10 his mistress, and with her
to the parsons When gthe Oxford
dona heard Of the prOceedings ct the
rectory, they decided inigra7e council
that this crime of marriage must be
made an example Of, aud accordingly
the young man, was xpelled.f Dis
gfaced End dishOnOFed, he and Peggy
were leastOut into the world With only
four knitting needles to look to for
bread lBuf Peggy went merriiy to
work ; her eyes growing brighter, her
fingers playing fastef, while her en-
amOursd husband sat before her in
helpless inefhciencY, watching the
CLEANING needles as il sntranced.

sense of his superi0rity- He got some
wires and went to work while Peggy
watched, and soon her aiming nee

which CrevOlatiOnized the whole in

visiting one another, and by helping
the weak with money, and by hold
ing fellowship meetings among them
whenever they should need it. 1t
was unanimously resolved ''That we
are all willing, when practicable, to
assist church in fellowship meet
ings, when the Church or the Home
Missionary Committee desire us so to
do.u
In the afternoon essays were read
by Dea. w. G. Savage and Rev. ]. B.
Dawson. on Systematic Benevo-
lenee" These strongly urged a large
increase of contributions to religious
purposes, that those contributions be
given by thorough system, that each
Individual, young and old, give by
system, and if possible according to 1.
Cor. I6 2. ION the first day Of evely
week ;" that it be done as an act of re-
ligious worship, and that all be urged
to acknowledge Christ's claim to a
definite proportion Of their income,
in all ordinary cases to be at least one
tenth. Then followed an earnest
discussion Of the subject. Rev. ]. G..
Burnell gave an interesting account
of the Revenue system" recently
adopted by the church in West Far
mington, by which they intend to
raise all the money needed for sup
port of the minister and other church
work, and for benevolent purposes
Each man, woman and child deposit
ting such sum as they see fit each
Sabbath, in q box in the vestibule.
The discussion was postponed until
evening, and Conference united in
celebrating the Lords supper, Rev.
John Holway and S. Manning ad-
ministering the sacrament, assisted
by Deas. Benz. Maltby and G. ].
Hickok. In the evening the above
discussion was continued, and the
following resolutions were adopted
unanimously.
WHEREAS: We hayelong thought
that giving to replenish the Lords
treasury should be systematized, and
now believe that weekly giving for
religious purposes is in accordance
with the teachings of the New Testa-
ment, and will be found both con-
venient and profitable; therefore,
Resolped, That we, ministers and
delegates of Trumbull and Mahoning
Conference, in Conference assembled,
do warmly recommend to the several
churches within our bounds, the
practice of regular weekly offerings
for the support Of the gospel among
themselves, and for all objects of gen. :
eral benevolence to which their
hearts incline. -
Resolved, That we would urge all
to consider the propriety of recogni.
zing Gods especial claim to one-tenth
of their income.
Conference was then closed with
an able and spiritual, as well as prsc-
teal sermon n, by Rev. VIM. p. Ed
wards, on Fellowship with Christ, !"

How IIeauen'S First Best GIFT to Nan Saws


PO0d.
The Danbury NcrS says:
did you over see woman undertake
to saw wood 1t is always Il little whim
before dinner, when the pies won't bake,
and the potatoes absolutely refuse to come
to the boiling point, and the only stick of
wood is exactly three inches too long. Af-
ter vain attempts TO prove the elasticity of
matter putting two-foot threeinch stick
into two-fOot stove, she goes out to the
saw horse, puts her knee OH the refractory
stick in the way she seen meu do. But the
edges of the wood are sharp, and she takes
it down with an ejaculation, and with u
growing disregard for appearance, puts her
foot on it instead. Her hair never fails to
come down at this juncture, and She has
to stop and twist it>iuto tight knot be-
hind before beginning to saw. Here the
saw commences frantic jumping and
skipping on its own account, the whole fe-
minnie mind being concentrated upon
keeping up the foot that is up, down the
foot that should be down until, in an un-
lucky moment, the centre of gravity is lost,
the stick flies up and launches blow at
her nose just as somebody is going by. She
stops and preteuds to be looking for some-
thing, while dark thoughts of divorce and
separation flash through her mind, and she
vows IN her lnmOSL soul tnat she never VIII
attempt to saw wood again if there never
is any dinner. But her pride and her din
ner are at stake, and all her obstinacy
comes to the surface; she will conquer
that stick or die. Fired by new fury,
she succeeds in saving two-thirds of the
way through, and breaking off the rest Of
tit is Il rotten rail-she goes into the
house to find the pota toes boiled dry, and
the pie in Il state Of sudden uncertainty.
The children come home from school and
the husband from his shop, and finds u
kind of hushed solemnity in the air, and no
pie for dinner. The miridual meal is eat
Ell in silence AMI bitterness of heart, and
then the wife of his bosom inquiries if she is
expected to take of the stables and feed the
pigs as well as saw wood. Tue man says:
"llang it all, ! forgot" and the woman
drops sarcasm and breaks down in the de-
caration that she newer w-i-ll do 1T
again, ,tlrc,-but she will /; she will do
Tomorrow, and the next day, or the day
after, for one Of the things that woman
never will learn is that she cannot saw
