Il GHiIty Conscience.

One day as mCnagCrie was cntcrtaing
a New England town, and tho msjes'c
elephant marching at its head was nearing
particularly muddy creek, one of the 10.
cal doaCons was seen to burst wildly from
the throOg ofSpcCtators, and to fly with
streaming locks and floating coat.tail, ut,
toriog wild apostrophcs to good gosh, :"
of New England worship, and evidently
anxious to escape anywhere out Of the
world. He was pursued by committee
Of selcctmen, who finally stopped after o
chase Of three miles. Then with tears of
repentance, be unlolded his terrible story.
1t seems that, when q boy, he had met
that identical elephants at a circus, and
given him tobacco instead Of peanuts,
which the trusting beast expected. It is
a wol.knowD belief of the small boys that
an elephant once deceived in this way will
lay for his dCceiver the rest Of his natural
life, and whenever he meets him he will
deluge him with muddy wafer Con-
science and this common superstition had
made the deacon acoward and he had fed
from the doom of dirty water which he
faucied had finally ovcrtakon him.

Occupations.

What glorious thing occupation is for
thchuman heart! Those who work hard
seldom yield to fanciod or real SORROW
When grief sits down, folds its hands, and
mournfully feeds upon its own tears, wea
wing the dim shadows that little cxcrtion
mightSwcep away into funeral pail, the
strong spirit is shorn Of its might, and sor.
row becomes our master When troubles
flow upon you dark and heavy, toll not
with the torrent; rather seek BY occupation
to divert the dark waters that threaten to
ovorThelm you, with a thousand channels
which the duties of lie always present, -
Before you dream of it, those waters will
fcrtilizo tho present, aud give birth to fresh
flowers, that will become pure,aud holy in
the sunshine which penetratcs to the path
Of duty in spite of every obstacle, Grief,
after all, is but selfish feeling, and most
selfish is the man who yields himself to the
indulgence ofany passion which brings no
joy 10 bis fellow men.

a lightning-rod man drove up in
front of a handsome edihce standing
in the midst of trees and shrubs, and
spoke to Mr.. Summers, who was
standing on the steps in front He
accosted Summers as the owner of
the house and said:
81 see you have lightning-rods
on this house."
'No," said Summers.
"Are You going to put amy onE'
"Well, ! hadn't thought Of it, .
replied Summers.
"You ought to. A tall building
like this is very much exposed. I'd
like to run you up one Of my rods;
twisted Steel glass tenders, nickle-
platedtip Everything complete
May | put one up to show you? I'll
do the Job cheap"
Certainly you may if you want
to. | haven't the slightest object
ion," said Summers.
During the next half hour the
man had his ladders up and his as
sistants at work, and at the end Of
time the work was done. lIccallcd
Summers out into the yard to adj
mire it. lie said to Summers;
"Now that is well enough, but il
it was my house I'd have another
rod up on the other side, There's
nothing like being thoroughly pro.
tected."
"Thafs true" said Summers, 1T
would be better
I'll put upanother, shall |? asked
the man.
why, of course, if you think it
is best, said Summers.
Accordingly the man went to
work again, and soon had the rod
in its place.
That's a tirst-ratc job" he said to
Summers, as they both stood eye
ing it. q like such a man as You
are, Big hearted, liberal, not afraid
to put q dollar down for u good
thing.
There's some pleasure in dealing
with you. ! like you so much that
I'd put q couple more rods on that
house, out on the north end, and
one on the south, for almost moth
ing"
at would make things safer, |
suppose" said Summers.
"CertainIy it would. I had bet.
ter do it, hadn't I-hey?'
Gust as you think proper said
Summers.
So the man run up two more
rods, and then he came down again
and said to Summers:
There, that JOB is done, Now
"Do WHAT"
"Why the job is finished, and |
will take my money"
"You do not expect me to pay
you, | hope?'
"0f course ! do. Didn'tyou tell
me toput these rodso on your house?
"My house," shouted Summers.
Thunder and lightning. | never
ordered you to put those rods up.
It would have been ridiculous
Why man, this is the Courthouse,
and I am here waiting for the court
to assemble. I am on the jury
You seemed to be anxious to rush
out your rods, and as it was none of
my business, | let you go on. Pay
forit! Come now, that is pretty
good"
The Blossburg people say thatthc
manner in which that lighting-rod
man tore around town and swore
was fearful, But when he got his
rods off the courthouse he left per-
manently. He don't fancy fireplace,
