have by your influence promoted his king
domp No. Because you have hindered his
cause. Your influence has been in the wrong
direction. When you gave yourself to God,
made a surrender Of your soul to him, asked
him to save you from the dreadful guilt and
power Of sin, and when you felt the sweetness
of the forgiving love of Christ Did you not
glory in your choice, and acknowledge your
obligations as servant Of the Most High ~
Where is that love now, which then you felt
to that God who has promised that he wilt
never forsake those that serve him Have
you become entangled In the world, and will
you be lost forever, or will you return to
your God and become oonquerOrs over the
world through the grace which comes by
Jesus Christ? Dancinathen is worldly a.
museinent, and sinful for Christian to in
dulge in. Ye cannot serve two masters. If
it be God serve him, If Baal, serve him.
Think not that there is no happiness only in
the world. Is not conscience void of offense,
the peace Of God, the enjoyment of the chief
good, and entire conservation to the great OBJ
jects for which man should live, and for which
the grace and truth which came by Jesus
Christ, designed to fit us happiness Love
to the Saviour, the truth as it is in Jesus,
forms the source of true happiness-is an or
nament to every character, and combines to
make men and women great and noble, and
blessed among the sons of men.
oh, for closer walk with God
calm and heavenly Frame
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb.

JOSH BILLIxos ON PETS.

Pets ov all kinds are noosance.
All pet children are tyrants, and a pet coon
wants more kluss watchin than fast deakon
duz.
Pet ideas are quite risky, and pet opinyuns,
like sekond hand clothing, are worth Just
what yu kan git for them.
A pet wife soon grows to be capting and a
pet baby rules the whole household.
A pet horse learns to be frisky, and pet
servant bokums cunning at the expense ov his
honesty.
Pet friends are the hardest to keep, and
when yu loze them, change from bunny to
gaul, and pets ov all kinds are very fastidious.
pet crow never knows what hiz next
mischief will be, and oy all pets none are
more nasty and kross than a pet parrot.
Nothing in this world waz made to be pet
ted, for nothing haz been made to require 1t.
Pet hobbys are eazy to mount. but hard to
silk to; the diches all along life's turnpike
are filed with the riders.
A pet lam allwuss makes kross ram, and
what haz been once pettcd IL never happy
agin without It,
Live pets ov all kinds are sure to be lazy,
and very soon afterwards git to be sassy.
| Too much petting brings ruin hav seen
gardin sass even petted SO much that il all
run to vines.
Pet kats are an insult to kats, and an insult
to the party who pets them.
Kindness and luv are great power, but
petting never won viktory yet.
Stranger, If you must hav pet or perish,
git young hedge hog "a male one is prefera-
ble) and keep him housed in barrel, and
Wow him thru tho bung hole whenever yu
feel lonesum, and if it don't make yu happy,
1t certainly IL not what aiIs you.

rected to dun the garb of common farm la

Admitted to Washington's presence he was
directed to take off bis heavy shoes. shoe
maker was present with his kit of tools. who
took the shoe in hand and very soon had the
dispatch pegged up between the two soles.
When the soldier, who had witnessed this
operation, had put on the shoes again. Wash

simply to deliver that shoe to General Put

way through the Ramepo pass.
But, General cried the man in amaze
