what has occurred to-day, and you have no
reason to be ashamed Of it. Now, tell me
what was the temptation ? What did you
most desire to do with it ?"
Nellie hesitated, and then said
" Last Sunday, mother had no dress TO 90
TO church. That would more than buy IT,
| only thought Of IL for moment"
Minnie Hamilton turned aside without
speaking. When she looked again there
was a moisture on the eyelids which had
not often been there before.
" Does your mother require anything else
Does she not want a bonnet, too z"
" Yes, miss but shall earn that by my
berries. Mothers sewing has nearly paid
the rent this month"
"Nelie, you and | must be friends Go
aud sell the remainder of you Strawberries,
and call on your way home"
That evening, Nellie was tripping home
with her empty basket but in it lay new
bonnet and package which she was di.
rected not to open till her return. Nelie's
mother was looking anxiously for her when
she arrived, but what was her astonishmcnt
and gratitude when she heard her story, with
full confession Of the temptation, not a
word of which she withheld.
When the package was opened, il was
found TO contain nice calico dress for each
with a bank-note fastened within. Upon a
slipo paper was written these words
For Mrs Townsend, as an acknowledge
ment for a benefit received from her daugh
ter, whom she has reared to be an example
of truth and honesty"
From this time, Nellie and her mother
were cared for by the Hamilton family
Sewing was supplied, for which they received
good pay, and Nellie was transferred to th,
Sunday-school Bible class, where she wa
regarded as a pattern of truth and integrity
for her associates.
And shall not her example speak also
to our readers, and remind them of thai
which the Bible teaches-to resist evil,
and "to follow that which is good ?"

That was what Harry Day always said
when he was told of any of his bad habits
" can't help 1t y which really meant, II
don't ,ctsh to help it :" because we know well
enough that we can every one Of us "help
doing wrong if we try in the right way.
Once Harry came upon an old story in
worn, soled book which he routed out of a
chest in the lumber-closet, and this story set
him thinking, as it may, perhaps, set some
other young folks thinking about the reason
why it is necessary 10 resist what is bad in
its earliest beginning.
Long ago there lived an old hermit who
had left the busy world Tor cell in the de-
sert, and who was reputed to be learned
and wise.
Many people used to visit the lonely man,
that they might receive his advice, and once
youth came to him who begged to stay
with him for time as his pupil
1.-The hermit consented, and the first day
he led his young companion into a small
wood near to the humble dwelling Look
ing round, he pointed to very young oak
tree just shooting from the ground.
90 Pull up that sapling from the root,
said he to his pupil, who obeyed without
any difficulty. They went on little far
ther, and the old man pointed to another
tree, but also young one, whose roots
struck deeper This was not so easy to pull
up as the first had been but with several
efforts it was accomplished
"The third had grown quite tall and
strong, so that the youth was long time
before he could tear it up; but when his
master pointed to a fourth, which was still
larger and stronger, he found that, try as he
might, it was impossible to move it.
40 Now, remember and take heed to what
you have seen, said the hermit. 'The bad
habits and passions Of men are Just like
these trees OF the wood. When young and
tender they may be easily overcome, but let
them once gain firm root in your soul, and
no human strength is sufficient to get rid Of
them. Watch over your heart, and do not
wait till your faults and passions have grown
strong before you try to uproot them. "
That was the end of the story; but, AS |
have said, it set Harry Day thinking, and
when " can't help it was rising TO his
lips, he was ashamed to utter it, So he set
himself to the work of mastering his temper,
his idleness, and all that conscience told him
was amiss. Though this is work that is
not done i'll an hour or day, a month, OF
even year. it will be effected at last (per
haps after many failures) by prayer and by
perseverance; nay, it must be done, unles,
we wish TO become the servants and the
| slaves of sin

TIE pEpIOREE CORN.


When you saw my piece of Pedigree
corn" before it was harvested, you desired
TO know more of the results. 1t was ripe in
August. | commenced TO cut the stalks in
the usual way, and stand them in stocks,
but the ears were so near the ground that
thought best to pick it. The stalks were,
on an average, no more than five feet high.
The first load picked and husked out, |
saved such ears as we are accustomed to call
good seed ears-that is, those well filled out
at the end, with straight rows and a fair,
symmetrical appearance, The result Of that
load was four hundred seed ears, four and
one-half bushels Of sound corn, TO dry for
common use, and a peck of "pig corn"
braided the seed ears into traces, with seven
teen in trace, and found only one ear in
this lot that had over eight rows-that ear
had ten rows part of the way and then fin
ished with eight. Among the four hundred
ears, there was not one with half an inch of
cob projecting from the small end of the
ear, and the rows were straight and regular.
was surprised. Among other eight-rowed
corn that had planted would fluid ears
with ten rows and twelve rows also irregular
rows. plainly saw that this corn, in three
particulars, had fixed characteristics eight
rows, straight rows aud ears filled out,

sixty-six ears) hung up for seed in my shed,
| weighed three traces, and they weighed
seventeen pounds, so each ear weighed third
of pound. | weighed three other traces,
and found the weight half an ounce greater
per ear. The ears will average about ten
inches long. Several hundred more ears in
the thirty bushels spread to dry are as good
as those saved, but in the haste of husking
were entirely stripped. This variety has a
small cob, generally, although find few
with thick husks and green, sappy stems,
that are as far from right as a soullion is
different from an onion. | have in time
past said, 81 would as soon have a large col
as a small one provided it is well covered
with corn" but upon further consideration
find the small cob is desirable, because II
dries quickly, and makes the risk much less
in saving seed corn. Seed corn upon a col
perfectly dry, will be safe in any degree Of
cold we experience But seed corn upon a
large cob, imperfectly cured, may freeze, aud
cause us to fail Of crop the next season
The corn for meal is also injured II it freezes
before it is cured. My pedigree corn,
this year, came up very well to my ideal Of
perfect corn for this climate, and purpos,
to plant more hereafter. My "Cowles
