An Anccdete nbsut Immersieu

The children Of the Sabbath school i.
----- were in the habit of attending, at
different hour, ncighboring school
where the doctrine of INN, rsion. as the
only mode of Christian baptism, wa, very
zealously taught. Under these instruc,
tions some Of the little ones had become
very much interested in the subject.
They had been told that Philip and tho
Eunuch went "down into the water, and
came upout OF it, that Christ was "bap.
tised in Jordan" and "came up out Of
the water" and that oil this meant inn
mersion. Some Of the children had be-
come quite converts t, the doctrine, and
showed much opposition when the sib.
ject was c)n.roverted. Ga one OCCASION
when the pastor was saying, that going
into the water did not necessarily mean
going lnder it.. bright little girl, be-.
came quite excited, and exclaimed aloud,
10 yes, it does, Christ went down ins
the water, and that means that he was
immersed. Grandma says i does, and
my other teacher says it does, and Mr..
- says it does,aud know it does, and
sou cant be baptised unless you follow
Christ and be immersed as he was,' aud
the little thing shook all over with excite.
ment.
Well, said the pastor, l will tell the
school story, and then you can judge
for yourselves, whether "goiug down int
the water" means going under it. wa.
riding down on the bank Of the river the
other day and | met little boy with a
very short fishing rcd and wet feet, com.
ing up the bank. I said to him. "well,
my n,where have you bcenY l,okin at.
his wet feet. Il have. been down in
the rive-, SIR" "No" said l, "you
haven't" "Yes," said he, II have, nv
pole was short, and / waded into the
water to get my hook into that deep hole. ;
Hooked at his wet feet, LAID my hand on
his shoulder and felt his hair, "Nov said
l."you haven't been into the water. {"
Looking me full in the face, he said,
"Yes, sir, ! have" "No." said I, "your
coat is dry, your hair il dry, you canno,
have been in the water" Looking at me
for moment with sort Of contemptu,
GUS air, he said "0ld man, don't YOU
know the difference between going iais
the water. and going Under it," as~s-
Some people it seems, do not. WhaI

stockings, ard wades into the waters

An Engaging Manner.

Politeness is to man what beauty is to
q woman. 1t creates an instantaneous
impression in his behalf, while the oppo.
site quality exercises us quick prejus
dice against him. The politician who has
this advantage easily distances all the ri
val candidates, for every voter be speaks
with becomes instantly his friend. The
very tones in which be asks for a pinch Of
snuff are often more potent than the logic
Of a Webster or Clay. Polished man.
ners have often made scoundrels successful,
while the best Of men. by their hardness
and coldness, have done themselves in>
calculablo injury-the she'll being so
rough that the world could not believe
there was a precious kernel within it..
Had Raleigh never flung down his cloak
in the mud for the proud Elizabeth to
walk on bis career in life would scarcely
haye been worth recording. Scores Of
men have been successful in life by pleas.
ing manners alone. A trait OF character
is we'll worth cultivating, lads. Never
forget the value Of true civility.
