CHARCOAL AS PURIFYER.- The Countr,

CHARCOAL AS PURIFIER. --The Country
Gentleman says: All kinds of utensils
can be purifedfrom disagree1ble oders
by rinsing them, out with charcoal dust
wet into d soft paste. Putrid water
is Immediately deprived of it's bad smell
by its use. When meat flesh, etc., are
liable to become spoiled from long
keeping, charcoal dust will keep them
sweet; and if there is a single faint tc
meat, it can be taken out by putting
three or four pieces of it as large as al
egg into the water in which it is boiled
This will effectually purify what seems
too far gone to use.

parsonage said, - No. little boy, don't
want little boy" The little boy,
whose heart was too full for ntteInnce.
chewing n piece of licogice sick he had
bought with n cent lie had stolen from
his good and pious aunt. with sobs
plainly audible, and with globules Of
water running down his checks, Glided
silently down the marble steps of the
bank. Bending lis noble form, the
bank man lodged behind door, for he
thought tbs little boy WAS going to shy
a stone at him. But the boy picked up
something and stuck it in his poor
but ragged jacket. "Come here, little
boy" and the little boy did come here;
ard the bank man said, Lo, what
pickest thou up?' And he answered
and said, a pin And the bank man
said, Little boy, are you good?' and
he said he was. And the bank man
said, " How do You vote EXCUSE me,
do you go to Sunday SCHOOL, and he
said he did. Then the bank man took
down o pen made of pure gold and
flowing with pure ink, and wrote on a
piece of paper, {" ST. Peter" and asked
the little boy what it stood for, and he
said Salt Peter" Then the bank
man said it meant Saint Peter" The
little boy said oh
The bank man took the little boy to
his bosom, and, the little boy said
con- again, for he had squeezed him.
Then the bank man took the little boy
into partnership and gave him half the
profits and fll the capital, and he mar
ried the bank mans daughter, and all
he has S his. and all his own too.
STORY OF ANOTHER LITTLE BOY.
Ny uncle told me this story, and I
spent six weeks picking up pins in front
OF bank. / expected the bank man
would call me in and say, Little boy,
are YOU good:' and was going to say
Yes" and wien he asked me what
"St. John" stood for was going to
say "Salt John" But l guess the
bank man wasn't anxious to have u part
ner, and I guess the daughter was a
son, for one day says he to me, Little
boy, what's that you are picking up?"
" Says 1, awful neekly, Pins. . Says
he. Lets see EN-" And he took 'em,
and I took off nay cap, all ready to go
into the bank and become partner
and marry his daughter. But l didn't
get an invitation. He said, "These
pins belong to the bank, and if catch
you hanging around here any more I'll
set the dogs on you!' Then l left, and
the mean old cuss kept the pins. Such
is life as T find it.
