crowd ofpitying gossiping neighbors, pushed
his way up stairs, and found himself stand
ing by his own bedside. There lay little
Willie, his eldest-born his pride and dar-
ling his golden hair dripping with water,
his eyes closed, and his face as pale rs the
white-washed walls around him. His mother
was rubbing him with hot hannels, and
Roger Saunders wife was helping her. Mark
grasped convulsively hold Of the bed-post,
and turned away in agony.
lie is coming TO, now !" exclaimed one
Of the women, joyfully.
Mark was overpowered on hearing this;
the sudden revolution Of feeling was too
much for him, and he would have fallen TO
the ground, had not strong arm caught
him at that moment. II was Roger
Saunders, the blacksmith, who supported
him.
When Mark recovered his consciousness,
his little Willy was lying in warm, quiet
sleep, with pink flush on both his cheeks
and the thankful father soon became com
posed enough to hear the particulars Of the
accident II appeared that Willy and sew
eral of his playmates were running over the
bridge after each Others and one OF the boys
had snatched hold of WHY'S cap, and pre-
tended to throw ii into the river; Willy
balanced himself and fell into the water.
His companions ran screaming for help, but
the bridge was some distance from the cot
tages, and poor Willy might have perished
before assistance could have been procured,
had not Roger Saunders happened to come
along lie plunged at once into the river,
and happily succeeded in rescuing the little
fellow.
Mark looked up when his wife had got
thus far, and his e7es net those of Roger
Saunders. There was no occasion T. speak
for Marks glance showed at once that all
pride and resentment had passed away, and
that love and gratitude filled his heart. He
held out his hand, aud Roger squeezed it
with most heartfelt cordiality. 1t was
enough the rivals were friends - nay,
brothers
The next afternoon there was little tea
party at Mark Buffers. Roger Saunders
was there with his bright tidy, little wife
and our old friend, Miles jackson, was another
Of the guests. What a pleasant evening
they spent together 1t was not the cake,
nor the tea only, which made them feel so
happy but it was the love and kindly feel
ing which pervaded every heart. The black
smith had gained his revenge at last The
prejudice and ill-will which covered Marks
better feelings as with barrier of thick ice,
had gradually melted away, and the warm
streams of brothery kindness and affection
now gushed freely forth.
If any of our readers, young or old, are
cherishing in their hearts, and manifesting
in their lives, dislike toward some disagree
able companion or neighbor, let them be per-
suaded to take lesson from Roger Saun-
ders The best way to get rid of an enemy
is to " heap Goals of fire on his head" Just
give it a trial, and satisfy yourselves that we
are right.

We have more than once seen a woman

scream that she utters may leave no visible

Good Advice,

All the young women in the country would
do well to heed the words OF Bishop Foster,
addressed to the graduating class Of the
Wesleyan Female College, in Cincinnati.
lie said "Learn your obligations to the
past; be careful of the present, and prepare
yourselves for the great future before you.
The reign Of brain has come, Though you
may not be found on the battlefield or at
the ballot.box, you eau build up the future
by building up the men. You live in par
ticularly exciting time, when you have
placed in opposition u. you one of the great
est OF vices, and you women will conquer if
all of those OF your sex who are real women,
viii combine. Beware of coxconibs and lib
ertines. They are fools, whether they know
it or not, by your conduct towards them
send them from your presence, Reserve
your hearts and love for men, lie not what
is known as fashionable woman. There
is nothing so foolish as such woman, and
none but fools admire her."

Hitting the Wrong Man.

The following amusing incident occurred
not long since, in a denominational book
store not thousand miles from Cornhill
(Boston). Amusing, it certainly was, though
the hero Of the occasion has not yet regained
his equanimity.
The clerks in this store had acquired the
habit of playing off little tricks upon each
other-praetical joking they called it-and
one Of tho tricks was this II one Of the
clerks chanced 10 see another in n STOPPING
posture, selecting books from the lower
shelves, he would seize board, perhaps part
of a box cover, aud smartly spank the stoop-
ing victim.
Jerry P was one OF the clerks a
smple-minded, good-natured fellow, from
Vermont, always ready and willing for the
hardest kind of work, and priced by his en-
ployers accordingly. Jerry had of late been
the chief victim of the spanking process,
and he was determined upon revenge-not
with malevolence nor yet with indignation,
but simply in the way of fair play. To this
end he lay low, watching an opportunity.
One afternoon, upon returning 10 the store
from an errand, the longed-for opportunity
seemed to present itself, and Jerry seized It
instanter. At the far end of the long coun-
ter he saw an individual overhauling books
on the very bottom shelf, his body bent at a
most tempting angle jerry was sure it was
Tom S., from whose hands he had re-
ceived many an emphatic spank, and now
was the time to pay off old scores. So he
selected a splendid board, and creeping noise
lessly along TO the spot, he gave the STOPPING
man a blow that sounded through the store
like the bursting of retort, and brought
him to an erect position, like a Jack-in-a-box.
Here was fix. Tom s., at the sound
of the blow, appeared from another part Of
the store, while the gentleman who had been
struck stood in utter bewilderment, rubbing
away at the aching part most assiduousy;
and poor Jerry then discovered, to his dismay
and deep regret, that he had struck his em-
ployers parson, the Rev. Dr. B., who
had been curiously searching among lot OF
old Greek and Hebrew books. Jerry wept
with shame and confusion, and was forgiven;
and from that time that particular species Of
amusement was discontinued in the store.

THERE are two classes Of Christians
Workers and Drones. The Workers need
not be described but a Drone, to sum up, is
one who makes attendance on the appoint
ments of the church matter of inclination
or convenience one who makes the TAX
ing part in social meetings matter OF in
elination or conyenience--is one who is in
different to the financial burdens Of the
church.

As long as you let any fear or any doubt
or any secret hankeriug for sin, keep YOU
away from the Saviour Himself, you are
icilom hope You will perish where you are.
Christ waits for you with open ear and open
hand. lie asks your confidence. Every
hour spent elsewhere is an hour lost. Every
hour with pastor or In an inquiry.mesting,
that You spend in getting relief from human
aid, is utterly wasted. 1t is the solemn
duty of that pastor, or Of the friend with
whom you converse to shake YOU off from
clinging to their skirts or their prayers.
There is such tendency to hold TO some
body else than Jesus only, that we warn you
against it.
When you have honestly and persistently
sought out Christ and confessed your sins
to Him, and put yourself wholly in His hands,
then stay there Follow Him Keep close
to Him, and Him alone In your store, in
your shop, in your field, in your home, or
wherever you are, be ever saying, Now
Jesus, lead me Teach me thy way! Hold
fast to my hand Keep conscience quick
and active and my will in submission to
thy will If my old sins come back to

This is Bible religion--this is doing all
that You possibly can "do TO be saved"
These steps exhaust Divine requirement.
Paul must have meant just this when he
commanded the enquirer to "trust ON the
Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved"
A vague idea is floating before many minds,
that if certain famous preachers come 10
preach or sing 10 them, or if certain services
are attended in their own town or church,
they will receive some underlined benefit.

forgiveness for an act Of dishonesty while
the ill-gotten money was hidden in the purse,

bored in the heart, God will not listen to
your confession, be it ever so loud or long

Him that you so loathe your sins that you
