many years after that, and had prosper

more satisfaction than all the wealth and

There was another beautiful ilIu-tra-
ton of this idea last week Henry Ward
B echer and his wife are about the same
age. They became lovers at the age of
sixteen, and were married when quite
young. They have known and loved
each other Tor forty-fve years When
on the witness stand, anon. other ques-
t ons. Mr. Beecher was asked it, in GER
tin conversation, lie had spoken of his
wife losing confidence in him. In his
inimitable way, he looked with loving
kindness upon his gTay-haired wife and
said: ''0h no. l never had the least
fears that my wife would doubt me-
The good woman looked with pride at
the great man, and. for the first time in
three weeks, she smiled. Their married
daughter who sat beside her mother,
took both her mothers hands into hers,
as she also looked with confiding love
upon her sorely tried iather Such an
exhibition of love and confidence was
enough to cause the very angels around
the Throne to clap their hands and shout
for joy.
Children often say very strange, and
sometimes very instructive things
When Miss Edith was two years old her
grand father took her into the woods, in
the month of May, to show her wild
flowers, and other pretty things. AS
they walked along near the creek, the
ground was covered with beautiful white
pebbles. about the size of beans. She
appeared to be in study, when all at
once she looked up and said: Look at
the teethl'
When she was four years of age she
was with her father in the garden, where
he was planting onions. She knew what
the object was-to raise more onions
Her father found dead cat in the gar
den, and as the best means of getting rid
OF it, he buried it in the garden. Edith
watched him until it was covered up,
when she said: Now pa, we will raise
pair of cats, won't weP The idea was
original with this little child. as she had
never heard that the great apostle had
substantially used the same figure nearly
two thousand years ago. when explaining
the resurrection -of the body, and COM
pairing it to the planting of seeds.
Old Martin Dulany had tartar of a
wife. Her name was Hanna. Martin
lay upon his death bed. Friends visited
him. and good people asked him if he
was ready to go. He said he thought he
was. They asked him if he WAS giffTng HIM
to die He said he was, as-.fIis world
had not been very pheasant one for him.
They told they supposed, of cours,
he wanetdto go to heaven. He said he
was not SO sure about that If they
could tell him whore Hammer" would go
when she should die, he could then give
them definite answer.
Rev Mr. Wallace, of the NJ E Church,
once told us the following about himself
He was riding circuit in the mountains
of West Virginia There were no
churches, and he preached in private
houses. or rather cabins Once he was
preaching in cabin built on the side of
a mountain. The door was at the lower
side OF the cabin, and was some five feet
above the ground, and there were rude
steps from the door to the ground He
stood with his back to the fireplace as he
preached. large pet pig, or rather hog,
was in the house, and it came and com
menced scratching itself by rubbing its
side against his leg. He put his foot
against it and gently pushed it away
This appeared to insult it highly, as it
raised its bristles, bowed its side and
looked at him menacingly. Soon it re-
| Tented, and gently came up and again
commenced rubbing its side vigorously
against his leg. Mr. Wallace was large,
muscular man, and he gave it push, or
rather kick, W hich sent it out of the
door, heels over head, squealing down
the steps. The old woman of the house
jerked her cob pipe out of her mouth
threw up her hands, and yelled at the
top of her voice: There now! You
have killed my pigr
Mr.. Wallace said that the whole affair
was so ludicrous that it upset the gravity
Of the balance of his sermon
Coming home from church recently,
we heard couple of young women talk
ing about the hats now worn being so
poor a protection against sunshine, when
one remarked: "Oh, do wish that they
would start the fashion of wearing sun
bonnets The other replied: Lets us
start the fashion" Then | noticed sew
eral young women dressed in neat calico
dresses. Their dresses probably did not
cost more than two or three dollars each,
They looked SO neat and so much like
