A Boys Composition OH Parents.

Parents aye born to be a great
trouble to their offspring They up
set all fellows plans. 1t would be
jolly not to have any. When | was
ever so little, remember, | tried to
hang up the kitten by my whiplash,
and mother took the kitten away,
boxed my ears, and went and drowned
it herself the next day. So she had
al! the fun herself-and fathers worse
than mother. He told me to take
care of the pennies and the pounds
would take care OF themselves, so |
and Ben Smith formed an anti-swear-
ing club. We lad 4 rule that for
every profane word we used we
should pay farthing into the treasury.
We had seventy four (arthings in the
first day, but when we divided and l
brought rinepcnce farthing home ia.
ther said it was bad business and
whipped me, and broke up the club.
How is fellow to know when he is
doing right? If was an orphan |
know what I'd do tomorrow. Ben
Smith and me would go straight to a
desolate South Sea island and stir up
the goats and monleys and things,
crack cJcoanuts, fry toadstools, eat
oranges a spell, then we'd make q
ship and sail round the world. What's
the use Of drying up in one place
| told mother one day when she
wouldn't give Inc sixpence that
meart to go whaling AMI | hoped q
whale would swallow me up as one
did Jonah, and then she W ouldn't nev
er see me again, for | can't swim. She
said I wouldn't be likely to make
such visit, for l would turn the
, whales stomach mighty quick after
got there. Wasn't she bully? If
was a parent, 1 know what Id do
I'd keep still and mind my own busl
ness, and let my children have some
fun. There's Tom Cults lives will
his aunt and has grand time. H'
goes bird catching and ceiling on Sun
days, has no best clothes, and no pock
ethandkerchiefs to bother him, crawl'
under the canvas of every circus tent
earns money at the theatre, sleeps ii
, the stable when he likes, and Away
has his pocket full of nuts. He says

The Rev. Edward Irving minis
ter of the National Scotch church IN
London, once managed to inveigle IN
to his church by talking TO him about
leather, cobbler who professed inf
deity. Irving's father was tanner,
and his acquaintance with leather was
Of old standing. "Whot do ye ken
aboot leather I" was the first word
from the cobbler that indicated a
breach in his impregnable disdain of
the clergy, As the discourse advanc-
ed, the shoemaker exclaimed, "Odds,
We are decent kind of a fellow ! Do
ye preach 2" Finally he was induced
to 60 to church, and he defended him
self for so doing by pronouncing the
opinion on Irving: "He's sensible
man-he kens aboot leather"

spurs to his horse and galloped away
toward Norwalk.
He disappeared in minute, and
Barbara Bidlack re-entered her house
with a smile of triumph on her face.
81 allow that he will not soon forget
me !" she said to herself, and then quiz
ctly resumed discussion of the re-
past which the naughty Briton had
interrupted.
After dinner she gathered up few
articles which she called valuable, and
destroyed the others which she
thought might be called prizes by the
plundering soldiery. Having done
this she left the house to the mercy of
the foe, and satisfied with her victory
over Tryon, sought safety in flight.
A longer stay beneath her roof would
be the height Of folly, for she knew
that Tryon would carry his rage to at
tempts on her life.
Abolt sundown a company OF the
governors troops swooped down upon
the house like 50 many destroying
-
eagles, and having ransacked it from
cellar to garret, applied the Invaders
torch. Tryou was not among the de.
stroyers he feared the giantess who
had give him such warm reception,
and her last threat admonished him to
keep his person aloof.
Mrs. Bidlack lived to help her hus-
band build a new house over the ruins
of the old one, and to recount to
amused listeners, long after the war
her story of Governor Tryon's recep-
ton.

Beecner's Invitation to the
Communion.

And now invite all here who de-
sire it to remain and partake with us
in the sacrament of the Lords supper,
whether they belong to this church or
to any other; to Catholic or Prot
estant church, or whether they belong
to church or not. 1t is said that l
thus invite the whole world. | do no
such thing. l simply refuse the de-
nominational test. This ordinance
does not belong to any church, it is an
individual right-as much so as the
right of an individual to read the
scriptures or to talk upon religious
subiects-and you are invited because
in your own soul you feel the need Of
Christ the Saviour. If there are ary
here that are sinful and know it, and
are determined to overcome their sins
if there are any willing u accept help,
and if they thiuk that to partake o
this ordinance will give them that
help, them invite, because they are
sinful, and because they need help.
