Too Big for Sunday School,

- Mr.. Spurgeon has word for boys
who, feeling toe big for Sunday School.
have taken to strolling on Sunday after.
Moons:
Perhaps you say TO me, whats the
harm Of walking ont on Sundays"
Well, ! will tell you. / have seen some
Of the best lads | ever knew, whom
really hoped were converted, who have
taken to this walking business, and not
one of them is now worth button, for
any good purpose whatever. My nope
was that by this time they would have
been among my best workers, hourishing
in business and happy in the service OF
God, but it is not so. The day they lett
the house of God for pleasant strolls "
was the day of their doom; !; they became
by degrees careless, idle, boastful, loose
in talk and loose in life, and make Satan
more and more their lord Wethcr q
thing is bad or not may be seen by its
fruit, and there's the fruit Of being "too
old for Sunday Schools and classes. .

Stick to the Farm,

i, r. Mounts, secretary of Lockhar
grange, West Virginia. is the author of
the following adyide, which we copy from
the Farmers Friend:
Within the last year or two we can
number a half dozen of our farmer &C.
quantanccs who have been lured to fnan-
cial destruction by the glamour Of spec
ulation. Going back ten years. and care
fully looking up the history of the men
we know who have left the farm to en-
gage in trade, we find that one in ten has
succeeded. A recent ease has come to
our knowledge that is full Of instruction
to those who are tempted to leave the farm
BY his own exertions alone, this farm.
er had accumulated handsome compc
tcnee; and at the age of fifty could lsok
with pride over his broad acres Of rich
land, his fine hcards. 1ocks' and comfort
able buildings. He was out of debt, and
had handsome surplus is the bank.
Two years ago, in an evil hour, he was
induced to invest in = dry goods store.
Last fall his farm and stock were sold
for debt, and he is reduced to the ncces-
sity of day labor to support his large and
yet dependant family, All accumulation
of over twenty years hard toi-many of
them years of privation and the closest
economy-swept away in few months
by this demon speculation And this is
not solitary case. Every reader can
count similar enes in his list OF acquaint-
ances. They all teach one great lesson
-- stick to your legitimate business in
which you have succeeded. "Let well e.
nough alone A man who has liAed all
his life on farm stands but little chance
to compete successfully with the men who
have been educated and trained for spec
ulative pursuits, The two occupations
are extrcmes-honest toll at one end, and
the tricks Of trade at the other. If you
have a good farm keep it improve it a.
dorm it, be proud of it and when you arc
done with it hand it down to your chill
drcn-the best inheritancc(with 4 good
education that you could leave them.
All that we have of wealth all that we
have OF art all that we have of culture, is
the result of labor. Therefore no man
should be afraid Of work, or neglect to
teach his children how to work, even if
he has to employ some one else to do it.

His New Catechism.

- Bobbe was sitting quietly in the
shadow of the well house reading dime
novel His mother called out to him five
times to bring in some stove wood, bu,
he was 50 absorbed in the tale that he i'm
agined he heard only the Indians calling
for wood to pile around the "White Lii,
ly,,. about to be burned at the stake.
But his father came around under the
well house shadow and demanded to
know:
"What book is that, sir p
Bobbie remembered that the old man
couldn't read and that he was awfully
down on dime novels, to boot, so he re.
piled:

Exaetly!' said the old man, and
pointing to the picture on the back:
"What' that picture thar, sir? v
"Why, that s,the angel in the bnrnin
bush, pa; thought you'd know'd that y
ats nasty, sinking dime novel, that's
what it is " interposcd Bobbie's ma.
And the next minute Bobbie was spin.
ming around like fellow hung with a
shirt collar, and the old man was tanning
him with slipper, and asking Bobbie al
these hard conundrums
That's new kattykism, eh 7" And
