SEDUEk 'rO BETSY ANDH ARE
OUT.

And when went In the house the table was
As good suppcr's ever saw. or can want
to see;
And | crammed the agreement down my
pocket us well ns | could
And fell to eating my victunls, which some
how didn't taste good.
And Betsy, she pretended to look about the
house,
But she watched my side coat pocket as a
cat would watch IL mouse;
Aud then sho went to foolin' a little with her
cup,
AND in,ently reading newspaper, a'holdin'
1t wrong side up.
And whom I'd dono my supper drawcd the
agreement out,
And give 1t to her Without word, for she
knowed what twas about,
And then Ihummed littlo tune, but now
and then II note
Was bu'sted by some animal that hoped up
In my thront.
Then Betsy sho got her specs from of the
mantle.shclf,
And rcad tho article over quito softly to her
self;
Rcnd itby little and little, for her eyes Is get
ting old,
And lawyers wrIttn' aiu't no print, especial
ly when It's cold.
Aud nftor she'd rcud littIe she give my arm
touch
And kindly said she was afraid was 'lowin'
her too much;
But when she was through shc went for nc,
her face u'strcamin' with tears,
And kissed me for the first time in over twcn-
ty years!
Il don't know what you II think, slr-I didn't
come to enquire
But picked up that agreement and stuffed it
IN the fire;
And told her we'd bury tho hatchet along
side Of the COW;
And we struck M agreement never to have
another row.
And told her in tho future wouldn't speak
cross or rash
If half the crockcry in the house WAS broken
all to smash.
And sho said in regard to heaven, wo'd try
and learn its worth
Ny starting branch establishment and run
ming II here on earth.
And so we sat a'talsin' threc.quartcrs Of the
night,
And opened our hearts to each other until
they both grew light;
Aud the days when | was wisliin' her away
from so many mon
Was nothing to that evening courted her
over again.

ALMOST SUNDowN.-When in
college n young student, who SUBJ
scquontly became a missionary,
deemed himself fill.treatod by fol-
low.student, and in consequence
got very angry. TO the surprise
and grief of his brethren, he gave
somewhat FREQ expression to his
feelings. No one ventured to re-
bulko him, or to demonstrate with
him, while he was uttering things
very little adapted to promote tho
edification Of tho hoaror.
Towards tho close cf the day, q
judicious friend was passing his
room. Pausing before the open
door, he said in significant tone,
"lt is almost sundown." Tho re-
proof, SO kindly and dolicatoly ad-
mlnistered, was tolt by his erring
brother. Tho divine command
ment, "het not tho sun go down
upon your WRATH" was called to re-
membrance. Tho perturbation Of
passion was exchanged for that Of
conscious guilt.
1t is our to duty arouse tho con-
sclonco to a perception Of wrong
DONG, and to a senso Of guilt. TO
DO this successfully, and so as to
secure beneficial results, requires
wisdom. Wisdom seldom prompts
tho direct and stern rcbuko. 1t
novor assumes tho attitudes of q
prosecuting attorney; it never al
lows tho robukor to assume m air
OF superiority. In the example
given above, tho rebuke was indi.
rect, and by means Of an allusion
to passage Of Scripture. There
is nothing comparable to Scripture
in power to convince of wrong do
ing, and yet much doponds on the
skill with which it is applied
When bluntly or boistorousIy pre-.
scntcd, it is moro likely TO rcpel

many boys arc made perfectly
worthless for any practical pur.
pose in life. You can know tho
boy who devours such literature
by his slouching gait and absent
manners; by his crossnoss when
called away from his enchanting,
visionary world, and obliged to
take part in tho roal.
Boys, if you over wish to bo
successful and honorod mon in tho
world, shun such reading. If an
agent urgos you to subscribe for
such trashy papor, tell him once
tor all, "no." Ask if oshas some
good substantial papor that will
give valuable knowlodgo-that will
mako You bolter and visor. If
ho has, invest your money in it,
and you will find Of all tho in.

their influence is not half so per-

care, root out those mischiof.mak-

respects from the original draft of Senator Sum.
ner. The first and second sections, fOrbidding the
denial Of the privileges and accommodations fur
nished by inns, theatres, public conveysnces
schools, cemeteries and benevolent institutions
supported IN whole OF part as public expense to
any person by reason of race, color, or previous
condition OF servtude are subst tantially the same
in both bills. Thy third section OF the commit
tees bill provides more explicitly tor the execu-
tion OF the laws of the United States, and is sut-
stantially as follows: The courts of the Uniteu
States shall have, exclusive OF the State courts
cognizanee of the offences and violations Of the
act, and the federal officers of the United Stat
Circuit and Tel .itoral Courts are specially requi
ed to institute proceedings against persons violat
ing the act, and cause such offenders TO be held

section shall be construed to deny any right of evil
action aecruing to any person in spect to matter
contained in this act Any district attorney falling
to prosecute the requirements of the bill shall for
every offense pay the sum OF $500 to the person
aggrieyed. and be deemed guilty of misdemeanor
