FOR GOOD OR EVIL.

One fine afternoon, Clara and her father
we're seated on the balcony of hotel, over
looking the sea. They had come to spend a
few weeks, and they enjoyed watching the
great ocean, the waves of which brokea their
feet. Vessels of all shapes and sizes were sail.
ing before them-some going north, some
south-some lighted up by the sun, Others
under the shadows of the clouds, but all in
movement.
"Father," said Clara, 81 never could un.
derstand how the wind should drive the YES
sells in more than one direction at the same
time. Look, there are two with their sails
filed, and yet one is coming near to us,'while
the other is going away from U.S."
Everything depends upon the way in which
the sails are set" said her father, and he ex-
planned the various ways of setting the sails.
Clara became very much interested in the d.
rections in which the different vessels IN view
we're sailing, and her father, pleased by her
attention, continued:
"It is Just the same with men and their
lives in the world. Some are going toward
heaven driven by the same wind that sends
others toward ruin. To become rich makes
one man generous, and another mean. Sor-
row hardens some, and softens others. l have
been thinking of poor Fred Merrill, who ap'
peared to learn so much that is bad in the
same school in which our Edmund was only
taught good"
II understand now," said Clara; 81 remem-
ber going to church with one Of my friends.
and | was much interested in the sermon.
came ont Of church full of what heard, and
resolved to practice it. was astonished when
my companion said, What a stupid sermon
thought it would never end ="
"Yes, my DEAR" said her father; "the gos-
pei itself saves some, and condemns others.
1t solemn thought that every good we re,
fuse is no good to u.s. Every warning that we
attend to is benefit but if it is neglected
we only grow hardened in evil. Every gift
of God is good if we use it without abusing it.
We ought to try to get some good out of every
experience we have, and then we shall grow
and be strong."-Child at Home.

The Chronicle of that city tells the incident {:
We. lately met an old negro trudging along
with heavy side of bacon that he had bought
swinging over his shoulder. Noticing that he
was miserably clad we felt sorry for him, for
a cold wind was blowing, and asked:
"Why do you spend your money for meat? ?
You'd better buy coat"
The old man stopped, looked us full in the
face, and said, in solemn tones:
"Massa, when I ak my back for credit, it
gives it; when I speak to dis Qaying his hand
upon his stomach, it calls for de cash"

climbed up into the hayloft, and was pulling
the ladder up after him.-Norsoich Bulletin
