asg~ A wee bit of a girl in Cusco, Wisconsin,
while at the breakfast table, a few mornings
since, made loud and repeated calls for but.
tered toast. After disposing of liberal
quantity of that nourishing article, she was
told that too much toast would make her sick.
Looking wistfully at the dish for moment,
she thought she saw a way out of her difficult
ty, and exclaimed, "Well, give me anuzzer
piece and send for the doctor"

MAJORITY.

1t is common for those who are on the side
of the majority to think that they are on the
side of right. This is natural. Every one
feels that, in some sense, the voice of the null
titudc is the voice of God. We should be
careful lest we make grave mistake by fol-
lowing blndly the multitude. An old eccen-
trio Greek philosopher, Diogenes, said he had
discovered that the multitude was always
wrong. Whilst it would hardly be safe to
say that the multitude is always wrong, there
is certainly no risk in saying that it is far
more frequently wrong than right. This is
especially true with respect to questions of
great and vital Importance. When God sent
Noah out to preach Righteousness to the an
tedeuvians, the majority called the patriarch
an old fool. The majority Of the inhabitants
of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities of the
plain were wrong. The majority cried out
concerning Jesus Christ, "Crucify him, crucfy
him." To-day, the great majority of the hu-
man family are wrong, and are going down
to hopeless ruin. The overwhelming majority
of the human family look upon the pious
man of the present day, as the antedeluviaus
did upon good old Noah. That man who
has no better evidence of being right than
that he is following the multitude, has scarce
ly any evidence at all. In fact, it is almost
certain that he is wrong. 1t is congenial to
human nature to be associated with the null
titude but it is far better to be on the side
of truth and right, than to be associated with
thousands on the side of falsehood and wrong.

THE CHRISTIAN LIFE SUpREME.-We
want to have life so developed in us that it
shall be supreme. A Christian in the old
times was, first of ALL Christian, and then, a
long way down, perhaps he was shoemaker.
He was a Christian, and perhaps he might
belong to Caesars household, but that you
might hardly know. Nowadays what are
we? We are bankers or merchants; every
body knows that. Then after little inquiry,
perhaps it may be found out that we are
Christians. The thing ought to be reversed.
Our religion should be the first thing. Too
much, the Lord Jesus gets the scraps and the
spare victuals, and the world gets the ban
quets. Men give to the Lord Jesus their odd
minutes, and to money-getting the main
strength of their lives. I do believe that will
have to be altered before we shall see any
great work done in the land, and mutitudes
Of conversions.

Music In Rock Creek.

On Tuesday evening, Dec 7th, par
lor concert was given by MISS Liza Lati-
mer and her music class in Rock Greek.
at Mr.. G. ST. Johns residence. A pleas
ant company of about forty invited guests
were present. The young ladies engag'
ed in the concert were the Misses Latel
la st. John, Luella Clark, Thalia Wood
ruff. Carrie Watkins, Emily Harrington
and Eva Nevison. The performances
consisted of instrumental and vocal solos
and Duets. Miss Latimer's programme
was very entertaining and the perform
ances certainly did credit to the young
ladies. The concert WAS heartily enjoy
ed by the guests. some admiring one
part and some another more than
the rest, and all the guests expressing
themselves graIified beyond their expec-

for the evening. Miss La!imer played W.

and our townsman, Mr.. b. Noble, sung
two or three of his ever welcome pieces.
We hope for repetition of this musical
soclable in Rock Greek. If Shakespeare
is right in saying

Nor is not moved with concord Of sweet sounds,
Is 1t for treasons, stratagems and spOlls,"
then it is certainly of great consequences
that musical taste be cultivated, and
musical influence be extended aud just
such pleasant parlor concerts as this is
one of the very best m cans Of cultiVating
a good musical taste, both in the per-
formers and those who listen. The re-
fning influence of good music is Of great
value to, and needed iu. every communi-
tY. Therefore, we return our thanks to
Miss Latimer and her class for this musl-
cal entertainment, and hope that they
will favor Us with another parlor con-
cert as soon as may be convenient
