HELD HIS HAIR.

All the pews in our church were paint
ed and vanished during the past month,
and while fixing DR.. Clamm's pew the
workman accidentally left a large splotch
of varnish upon the back of it. Last
Sunday, DR.. Clamm's son, Johnny, had
his hair pulled once or twice during the
service by Bullets boy in the next pew
in the rear. After awhile Young Mr..
Clamm became quiet and placed his
head right against this one mass of un-
dried varnish, while he amused himself
reading over the ten commandments up
on the wall just back of the pulpit.
Presently he attempted to move, but the
varn1sh had got among his hair and it
held him tight. After making one or
two desperate but Intellectual efforts to
release himself, he became very angry,
and supposing that Bullets boy was
holding him, he shouted out, Let 90 O.
my hair Let 60 O. my hair. tell you =
The minister paused just as he entered
upon the consideration of 'thirdly, and
the congregation looked around in amaze
ment, just in time to see young Clamm
with his head in 'statu quo,' aiming
dreadful blows with his fist at some un-
seen person behind him. And every
time he struck out in this manner, he
screamed, I'll go for you, Bill Bullet,
when l ketch you alone Let 60 O. my
hair, I tell you, or I'll smash yer nose !
etc. The deacon came running up, and
thought the boy had the nightmare and
was talking in his sleep, and old Jones
in the pew in front, screamed for the
doctor, under the impression that Clamm,
junior, was involved in series of fright
full commissions, while Bullets boy sat
up at the end of the pew looking as SOL
emn as if the sermon had made a deep
impression on him. Finally the sexton
took out his jack knife and sawed off
enough of Mr.. Clamm's hair to release
him, and dragged him out into the ves-
tibule, while the victim kept glancing
round at Bullets boy and shaking his
fist at him. The contest. however, has
been averted by an explanation, and we
were glad to see, on Thursday, young
Clamm playing hop-scotch with Bullets
boy, in apparent forgetfulness Of the
sorrows of the sanctuary.-Mar Adeter

Snake stories are beginning TO come
in. The latest Is from Sussex county,
Delaware. In that vicinity, not long
since, curious and deadly snake was
killed, which measured twenty-eight
inches in length. About FIVE inches
from the end of the tail were two thick
protuberanees, each containing eighteen
'.horns" about one-eighth Of an inch in
length. They we're hollow, and supplied
with poison. A strange story is told of
horned snake which some years ago at
tackled a man IN the same vicinity. In
order to escape. the man jumped be-
hind large tree. and the snake struck
with such force that it buried its horns
into the trunk about one-eighth Of an
inch. In thirty minutes thereafter a
dulIness In the leaves was pereeptible,
and. strange TO say, in another hour they
commenced falling of, and to-day it is
nothing but witbered, naked trunk.

SOUL LABOR.

o, struggle to live a holy life
For that struggle shall bring the joy;
Shall I'LL thee with conscious dignity,
As doth great employ;
Not the holy life which hypocrites feign,
But that which is one with right:
Not that which effeminates the SOUL
But fills it with masculine might.
o, struggle to live life of Truth,
Responsive to thy soul
Let 1t direct thy destiny,
Its voice alone control.
Fear not, though thy pathway lies
Through poverty, peril and pain:
1t leads where even ambitious eyes
Have struggled to look i'll vain.
o, struggle to live life of Hope;
Who walks among the stars
Shall not be shaken by worldly Winds
Nor earths distracting Jars.
beneath his feet, the clouds which gloom
The gaze of the soaring sight,
He lOoketh down on earth's highest hills,
Who dwells on Heavens height.
O, struggle to live life of Faith,
Let thy forehead face the sky.
And ever walk the way you gaze,
The feet will follow the eve.
o walk no longer behind the great,
Nor wear the worlds imagery,
Enthrone thy soul, let it keep it's state,
Degrade not thy dignity.
o, struggle to live life of Love,
'Tis love that maketh great,
Genius is but a living love,
Love only can create.
Like the latent fire in the hidden seed,
Love breaketh the stubborn soil.
Grows up in the face of pickering blast,
But seemeth not to toll.
Love maketh the world its own,
Age, more, even Heaven above
Love is the legitimate monarch of might,
The spirit of love is love.
o, sternly struggle on,
For all things yield to the soul,
Even Time, and Fate, and Destiny,
All bow to this control.

THE REAL GENTLEMAN.

He is above mean thing. He can
not stoop to a mean fraud. He invades
no secret in the keeping of another. He
betrays no secret con6ded to his keep
ing. He never struts in borrowed plu-
mage. He never takes selfish advanta-
ges of our mistakes. He uses no igno-
Bile weapons in controversy. He never
stabs in the dark. He is ashamed of in
nuendoes. He is not one thing to a
mans face and another behind his back.
If by accident he comes in possession of
his neighbor's counsels he passes upon
them an act of instant oblivion. He
bears sealed packages without tamper-
ing with the wax. Papers not meant
for his eye, whether they futter at the
windows or lie open before him in un-
guarded exposure, are sacred to him.
He inyades no privacy of others, howev-
er the sentry sleeps. Bolts and bars,
locks and keys, hedges and pickets,
bonds and securities, notices to trespass-
ers, are none of them for him. He may
be trusted alone out of sight, near the
thinnest partition-anywhere. He buys
no offices. he sells none, he intrigues for
none. He wouId rather fail of his rights
than win them through dishonor. He
will eat honest bread. He tramples on
no sensitive feeling. He insults no man.
IF he has rebuke for another, he is
straightforward, open, manly /; he can
not descend to scurrility. In short, what
ever he judges honorable he prac tees
towards every man.
