The CongregationaiiSt gives the following
pertinent advice to any one who may be busy
about the mperfections of his pastor: "lt your
minister docs not seem to be quite perfect, CON
slider whether you are perfect yourself Wheth.
er you have done what you might easily have
done to make him less imperfect; whether un,
der all eli circumstances, he is not quite as good a
man, as faithful minister, as you yourself
would be apt to be, if you were take his place
and try your hand at his duties; and whether,
on the whole, instead of going to your neigh
bors and getting up caucus of disaffection
against him, 1t would not be much better to 90
to him, speak 10 him frankly and kindly of the
things which grieve you-and considering your
self lest you also should be temptcd-this seek
to help him to help himself, and to help you
all, up and on toward heayen.n

DON'T BEIN A HURRY To GO.

Come boys, saye something to tell YOU,
Come here, wouli whisper 1t low
You re thinking of leaving the homestead.
Don't be in hurry to 90.
The city has many attractions.
But think of the vics and sins,
But when once Ia the vortex of fashion
How soon the course downward beginsl
You talk of the mines of Australia,
They're wealthy 10 treasure, no doubt,
But, all there's gold ia the fam, boys,
If only you'll shovel It out;
The mercantile life Is a hazard,
The goods are irst hign and then low;
Better risk the old farm awhile longer
Don't be III hurry to go.
The great busy west has inducements;
And so has the business mart;
Aud wealth is not made In a day, boys
Don't be hurry TO start.
The banker and broker are wealthy,
Aud take in their thousands or so;
Ah think of their frauds and deceptious,
Don't be in hurry To 90.
The farm is the safest and surest;
The orchards are loaded TODAY;
You are free as the air of the mountain.
And monarch of all you survey.
But stay on the farm awhile longer
Though profits Come in rather slow.
Remember you've nothing to risk, boys,
Don't b. i'll a hurry to go.

During the journey of the Emperor JOSEPH

down on the road, so that 1t was with difficulty

his majesty got out at the door of the only
blacksmlthshop the town afforded, and desired

"fhat would do very willingly replied the
smith, "but it being holiday, all my men are
at church the very boy who blows the bellows

"An excellent method then presents Of warm
ing ones self" replied the emperor preserving
his incogn,to; ; and lie immediately set about
blowing the bellows while the blacksmith forged
the iron. The wheel being repaired, six soils
we've demanded for the job hut the emperor
gave six ducats. The blacksmith returned them
to the traveller, saying,
"Sir, you made a mistake and instead of
six soils have gwen Inc six pieces OF gold, which
no one in the village can change"
"Change them when you can" said the en-
pcrr, stepping into the carriage. "An emperor
should pay for such pleasure as that Of blow
ing the bellows"

What distressing spectacle is that OF man
OF talent approaching to old age not only with
out the consciousness OF having employed his
abilities To any permanent good purpose for the
benefit of mankind, but with the sense of hav-
ing written in behalf of errors and exploded
fallacies all the time, and III favor OF a party
which has come TO natural ruin in the course
oftlme, and can now do nothing for him-not
even give him sympathy in his MISFORTUNE
When snch man reflects on his wasted exis-
tence, and compares his position with that of
one who took directly opposite course-that
is, worked for good and not for evil, or, it may
be, worked uselessly and misspent his life-how
painful must be his feelings, if at all sensitive!
