A REGULAR CUSTOMER.


Many of our readers will remember
Rev, Sebastian Streeter, of Boston
"Father Streeter," we always used to
call him. He was, in his day, most en-
phatically the marrying minister of the
New England metropolis. No other three
ministers-and | doubt if any six-mar-
ried as many couples as he did. When
| was boy I used to spend a holiday
occasionally with his boys, at the old
home on Hanover street. and during one
of my visits the following incident oc-
Cured. 1t must be borne in mind that
Father Streeter was an inYeterate joker,
and if there was a comical side to any
thing, he would be aure to find it.
A young man, evidently fresh from
the rural districts, came with his sweet
heart to be married. The ceremony was
performed, when the new made husband
asked, drawing his wallet:
"Wal, parson, how much hev l got to
pay?"
''That, my friend, | leave for you to
say" returned the clergyman.
"But-don't ye hev price %
''Not fixed one. l generally look
to see man pay according to his esti-
mate of the value of the wife 1 have
given him." @
"Wa-al, meow look here. parson, l
don't want to be mean bout this affair
Jest yeou say what's right, md I'll pay
it"
Very well,-suppose you call it five
dollars
"Five dollars Jerushal But amt
that stick'n it on rayther thick p
That's my usual fee."
"But-parson, | knew a man-Sam
Hyde at yeou married not NOR n month
ago for tew dollars. y
81 remember Mr.. Hyde very well"
said Father Streeter, with smile and
l know that | married him cheap-but
bear in mind that | have married him
five times. He Is a regular customer. "
The youth may have concluded that
one marriage was enough for him. At
all events, he forked over five spot
and went away apparently satisfied.

WHAT ONE FARMER HAS DoNE.--A
correspondent of the Mirror and Far
mer writes Of Hon. Warren Brown, of
Hampton Falls, N. H.:
"A few years since the high portion
of his farm cut about half ton of hay
per acre, and the lower ground was cov-
cred with marsh hay which they fire.
quently carried off on hay poles. Now,
on his 60 acres of moving land, he will
cut, Judge. over loo tons of the best
of English hay. Tiles, muscles, ma
nure and brains have wrought the change.
His grass is worth, | judge, over $50
per acre as it stands. He sells much
hay, and yet makes so much manure that
he hardly knows what to do with it. A
new barn has ventilated cellar and
smooth, four-inch, concrete floor What
a shame and untold loss to the state for
our farming population to diminish year
ly and the young men to leave the farms.
Put good paper in every farmers fam
lily; let farming be studied the same as
any other pursuit. Let the farmers
have no unjust burdens; let them be
honored and respected !; let there be a
rival in farming for the sake, not only
of the agriculturlst's interest. but for
the good of all other useful industries,
and last, but not least, as the birth
place of those men and women who are
alone reared upon the farms.

THE ESSENTIAL PoTNTs OF CHRISTI
ANITY.-Christ is an incxhaustible source
of divine truth to the soul. What that
truth is, must be decided by fnd ing that
which satisfies the reason, conscience
and heart. And this is the way in
which we judge all truth to be true.
The essential thing in a religion, and
the only essential thing, is that which
was in it in the beginning. in its source
and fountain, and which has continued
in it ever since. The papacy does not
belong to the essence of Christianity /;
for that did not appear until the middle
ages. Orthodoxy in doctrine does not
belong to the essence of Christianity,
for that was unknown at first, and is not
to be found in the earliest sources. The
only essential points which remain,
which were in the religion at first, and
have continued in it ever since. are faith
in Jesus as the Christ. the Son Of God.
and the practical purpose Of attaining
that love 70 God and. love 70 man Of
which he is the Mediator.

Be thankful if you know, by your own

Be thankful if you know, by your own
experience, that there is such thing as
peace and love, even though you may
for the time have lost them, if you have
ever really had them. God never takes
back His gifts. If He ever gave you a
sight of His truth and love. you have it
still. Clouds may pass between you and
the sun, but the sun is there, and will
shine forth again. 1t may be stormy
night, and the stars are hidden but
they shine on, permanent and pure, be-
hind the driving rain, and again will
look upon you with their calm eyes, and
say, from their inaccessible and infinite
heights, TBe patient, little child be
patient and wait till all storms and all
darkness shall have passed away forever.

Gypsie was completely overcome.
Throwing herself on a sofa. she gave
vent to her feelings. 20, how could p
she cried. "What does he think of me ?
He is good and noble man, and he
will hate me forever"
This outburst had somewhat subsidized
when Nell burst into the room exclaim-
ing, "Oh, Gyp! Gyp! can you believe
me? That horrid old monster thought
l was in earnest. When | asked him
to accept my hand. he said, Yes, he
would accept it, and should be his for
ever Then he tried to kiss me, but l
jumped up and told him he shouldn't

fun. Then l ran off and left him star
ing after me as though he was losing

you, Gyp?"
''Oh, Nell, what must you think of

"Who, Ross Well, never mind, you

but composed herself in her own room.
A few hours before dinner she venture1
into the library, and shortly after Ross
entered.
'I've come to say good bye he said,
holding out his hand. the old coldness
all gone from his tones.
"YOu are not going to leave?' said
Gyp, her embarrassment all startled
away. "WhY, L thought you were to

you, Gypsie, with my whole heart Your
cruel trihing has shown me that my
love can never be returned, and cannot
endure it longer, so | have come to say
good bye"
Perhaps the scene of the night before
was repeated in earnest. AT all events,
Ross didn't say good bye that day. and
when he did, it was not for a long alb
sence. Cousin Hugh,s s message had been
delivered, the conversation overheard in
the library confessed. and Gyp owned to
having found little peace, although
her money was yet long way from the
bottom of the Dead sea.
To this day, Mrs. Ross and Nell Dale
have lively discussions over leap year
balls. The former in favor of them, the
latter entirely out of favor.

Three Points for Consideration.

During the past five years the VEGETINE has
been steadily working itself into public favor, and
those who were at first NEST incredulous in regard
to its merits are now its most ardent friends and
supporters.
There are three essential causes for those having
such horror OF patent medicines, changing their
opinion and lending their influence towards the adj
yancement of VEGETINE. lst-It is an honestly
prepared medicine from barks, roots and herbs.
ld-lt honestly accomplshes all that is claimed for
1t, without leaving any bad effects in the system.
3d-lt presents honest vouchers in testimonials
from honest, well.known citizens, whose signatures
are sufficient guarantee of their earnesness in the
matter. Taking into consideration the vast guam
tlty OF medicine brought spicuously before the
public through the flaming advertisements in the
newspaper columns, with no proof OF merit gen.
