WAS NOT SATIsFIED.-Dean Ramsey, in
his "Reminiscences of Scottish life and Char
acter," gives the following anecdote: A lad had
come to his minister for examination previous
to his receiving his first communion. The
pastor, knowing that his young friend was not
very profund in his theology, and not wishing
to discourage him, or keep him from the table
unless compelled to do so, began by asking
what he thought a safe question, and ons that
would give him confidence. SO he asked him
how many commandments there were. after
little thought, the young man put his answer
pe,af ,fe ea%tlSSsssiyf %%t4lSssi form Of supposlicn and re-
Perhaps hundred) The minister was veAeu,
and told him such ignorance was intolerable,
that he could not proceed in The examination
and that the youth must wait and learn more
so he went away. On returning home, he met
friend on his way TO the manse, and on learn
| ing that he too was going to the minister fol
examination, shrewdly asked him, swell, wha
will ye say moo if the minister speers q. e
asks) hoo mony commandments there are ?"-
"Say why shall say ten, to he sure" tt
which the other rejoined with great triumph
"Ten Try ye him wi ten tried him VII
hummer. an he wssna satisfied"

OccUPATioN.-Wbat glorious thing occu-
patton Is for the human heart ? Those who
work hard seldom yield to fancied OF real sor-
row. When grief sits down, folds its hands,
and mournfully feeds upon Its tears, weaving
the dim shadows that a little exertion might
sweep away iuto funeral pail, the strong
spirit is shorn ofts might, and sorrow becomes
our master. When troubles flow upon you
hard and heavy, toll not with the torrent; ra,h-
er seek by occupation To divert the dark wa
ters that threaten to overwhelm you, with a
thousand channels which the duties of life al
ways present. Before you dream it, those wa
tels will fertlize the present, and give birth tc
flesh flowers, that will become pure and holy
in the sunshine which penetrate to the path OF
! duty In spite Of every obstacle. Grief after all
| is but selfish feeling, and most selfish is th'
man who yields TO the indulgence of any pas
sion which brings no Joy 10 his fellow men.

PERPLExirIE5 OF PLAGIARIsM,-TheS Sun
day at Home for January gives some interest
ing stories about DR.. Guthrie's published SER
mons. Some years ago he was advertised to
preach for DR.. Cooke, Of Belfast, on particu-
lar Sunday. Before he left home he received a
letter from an Irish clergyman begging him not
TO preach to DR.. Cookies congregation his ser.
mon on the text: "Behold, stand at the doeI
and knock, " because, being pressed for time to
prepare, he had, on former occasion, used
that text and sermon before Dr. Cookies con-
gregation.
The writer tells another story about that
Same text. There was vacant charge to
which probationers were appointed to preach
as candidates. The first came and preached
from "Behold, stand at the door and knock, ,
and repeated as many of DR.. Guthrie's words
as he could remember.
The next Sunday the second candidate fol
lowed with the same text and the same dis
course.
The third Sunday the elders asked the
| preacher who came II he would kindly tell then
| the text he was going to preach from. "Witl
the greatest pleasure" he answered. at is =

Not long ago we stopped at the parsonage Of
worthy brother, who was kind enough to in
sist on displaying to us its various attractions.
Aftdr taking us through the commodious and
well lighted and well-ventiated apartments,
he said: "The choicest roein OF all is yet to be
seen." He then opened the door of neat aud
pleasant little room just over the hall, which on
looking, we noticed contained but three things
a chair a table and a Bible. This" said he,
''is our room for prayer. Any one, at any time,

for none other--always inviting those who
need it TO pray and communion with God. And
said he, sour experience Is that 1t Is the mos
popular aud the most used room in the VIII BE
house." Why not? Such a room would spol
become Bethel to old and young. Hallowed

New Hampshire, unlike most other
States of the Union, requires majority of
all the votes cast to elect a Governor, As
no one of the three candidates voted for
last Tuesday Received this majority, the cleo
tion is therefore remitted to the House OF
Representatives of the Legislature. This
body having a decided Democratic majority
it is presumed that it will elect James w..
Weston, Democrat, for Governor, repeating
the same course that was followed in 1871,
when that gentleman was previously chosen
Governor. The New Hampshire State
Councillors and Senators require the SAINT
majority choice as the Governor, and the
House of Representatives similarly act:
when there is no choice by the people. A
this election it will therefore have to choos
one Councillor and four Senators, MAXIM
both those bodies Democratic. There is NJ
United States Senator to be chosen this yea
/ in New Hampshire, the earliest expirin
term from the State being that of Senate

The poor sexton generally does the best he
knows, and just as he is expected to do. The
first thought with him, and usually, with those
who employ him, is TO economize heat; that at
the same time they are economizing pestilen-
tial, disease-producing atmosphere they do not
seem to think. Many people loo, are afraid of
taking cold if there is much ventilation during
service, but the Saturday remedy, Of throwing
open the windows till the confined air of the
week has been replaced by that which is pure
and sweet, is available in all cases. and there
can be no reasonable excuse for negleciing 1t.
