Living Better.

A Western brother writes his ex-
porience in a religious meeting:
"In one Of our settlements lived
John Rogers, and very clever
man he was; his chief and only
fault seemed to be in occasionsion-
ally taking little too much bad
whisky.
"He generally attended the re-
ligious meetings at the schoolhouse,
and one day be took his seat near
the door.
1.-THE brethren one after another,
told their experience and made their
confessions.
"One Tom Brown told his expe-
rience (he was well known in
the community as a cold hearted,
close-fisted, selfish man, who COM
PEELED his family TO live principally
on hog meat and corn-doggers,
hardly ever treating them to the
taste Of wheat bread, though
abundantly able). He went to con-
fess his sins and short comings to
his brethren and sisters, and asked
their prayers that he might be en-
abled to live better than he had
been living.
"He said 'he knew that he had
lived in a very poor way, and, in
short, 'he had not lived as well as
he ought to live
"This last centence caught the
ear of Rogers, who sat listening
in half dreamy state, and forget
ting the time and place, he ex-
claimed:
"Then why in the world don't
you buy barrel Of flower and live
betterl" and Immediately darted
out Of the door. The congregation
was thunder-struck, and so was
Tom Brown; but the effect was
good, for Brown ever after lived
better"

None There.

The average Detroit boy sees his
opportunity in winter as well as
summer, and he makes the most OF
it. Yesterday afternoon, as an old
man was driving stout sled up
Michigan avenue, having two or
three kegs of beer in the box, a
boy called out to him:
"Say, there. Wheels coming
Off"
The old man pulled up, looked
around, and the boy said:
"You'd better look out-hind
wheels coming off,"
The driver got down, looked his
sled all over, felt Of the braces and
inspected clear to the dash board,
and then asked:
"Vhat you sayl What proke y
81 said that hind wheel was COM
ing off," replied the boy.
The man made another inspec-
ton, gave the sleigh a shake, and
all at once called out:
"Vhy, dere ish no hint wheel on
herd !"
He heard the boys cheering as
he climed into the sled, but didn't
look back.
