A CLERGYMAN's APPEAL.-A ministcrin
a Massachusetts, town near the New Hamp-
shire line, whose salary is somewhat in ar
rears, is reported to have astonished his
congregation on a recent Sunday by saying
to them from the pulpit, "Do not, my dear
hearers, delude yourselves with the idea
that am an angel, for am far from hav-
ing arrived at that blssful state. If were
an angel, would fly away to heaven and
get my dinner, and come back and preach
TO you again; but as am yet only of the
earth, earthly, must have something to eat,
and in order to do tiat must have some
money TO pay the bills"

AN IMPORTANT ART.-The art Of conver-
sation is the finest Of fine arts II Is not the
art of saying much, but OF saying we'll.
There are preaching men who talk, but
listen not, or who speechify in private, or
gossipping men, who think little and are
never still, and yet are not eonversable
men. The real art OF conversation consists
not only in expressing your own thoughts
freely, but in drawing out by encourage
ment the thoughts of Others You never
will be liked for long talking by anybody !;
but YOU are sure to be liked, IT, by your
talking, you encourage and stimulate 9TH
ers to think and talk in response to your
thoughts.

The yellow Cottage.

Mid fields with useless daisies white,
Between a river and wood,
with not another house in sight
The low-roofcd yellow cottage stood,
whereI,
Long years ago, little maid,
Through all lifcs rosy morning played.
No other child the region knew
My only playmate was myself,
And all our books, treasured few,
We gathered on a single shelf;
But obi
Not wealth king might prize could be
What those old volumes were to me!
On winter nights beside the fre
In summer, sitting in the door,
turned, with love that did not tire.
Their well-worn pages o'er and o'or;
In me,
Though sadly fallen, Il ia true,
Their heroines all lived anew!
One day, about my neck a run
OF elder flowers with fragrant breath,

To suit the part, Elizabeth;
The next,
Ensnared by many willy plots,
sighed, the hapless Queen Of scotsl
Whore dArting swallows used 10 lit,
Close to me, on some jutting rocks,
Above the river, l would sit
For hours, aud wreath my yellow locks,
And trill

That overhung the orchard wall,
While watching, one by one, to sec

Would make truce with care,
No more Of queens In bright array

In thought,

Who round the yellow cottage played!

TIM WELLER.


Outside-a mud-colored cottage, one of
twenty, comprising the little fisher village
off CULTS Head-a tumble down fence, en-
closing sundry heaps of fsh-bones and
| oyster-shels. In one corner a rose bush
and a weedy bed, with here and there an
aster or a poppy striving to brighten with
sturdy bloom the dismal surroundings. A
long, low coast stretching southwark, and
| to the north the ledge and lighthouse of
Gull's Head, standing out sharply against
the desolute gray of the sky. Inside-a
scolding woman. What wonder that little
Tim Weller stood long outside the door
waiting for his father to come up from the
beach, evidently preferring the chilly
dampness of the gathering night to the
light and warmth of the cottage, shared
with his step-mother's tongue.
You never would have called him a hero
this red haired, eckled-faced Tim, who
spent his days watching the lobster puoys
up and down the coast. lie didn't look in
the least heroic, as he stood by the half
hung gate, the darkness falling about him.
He shivered as he listened to the "swashl
swash y OF the rising tide dashing against
the foot of the ledge, and looked down the
beach impatiently for his father.
His life seemed dreadfully dwarfed and
crowded as he thought of the days that
were past and the days that were coming,
all just alike-the eating and sleeping and
watching traps-nothng 10 mark the years
as they slipped slowly by-spring and
summer, fall and winter--no going TO
school-Tim had learned TO read alittle and
that was all-nothing to help make a man
of him, nothing for him TO do but follow
straight in the track Of his fathers fishing
brogans, and perhaps-it was the height of
every fisher-boy's ambition-to become the
| lighthouse keeper. Tim glanced along
the low, black iIne of foam-flecked rocks
running far into the sea-as dangerous a
ledge as was ever Stunned by mariners
half-wondering why the lamps were not
| lighted.
Just then his father and old Dec Greg
gett came slowly up from the beach.
Looks jest as it did afore the big storm
year ago" Greggett muttered, barring his
head and pointing to the long, low line of
white clouds rolling up in the West like
smoke. "See them white-capsr
"Yes," Mr.. Weller said, throwing her
ring net across the fence. "Yes sir, it'll
blow great guns afore mornin; wonder
Thurlow han't set the light. Come, Tim,
lad, as a puff of warm air redolent with
the scent of golden Sorncake and smoking
fish fried brown, came from the open win
dow. Come let us go in TO supper; night

| hind them.
