SMALL THINGS TEST MEN.-In things
small, lie the crucibles and the touchstones.
Any hypocrite will come to the Sabbath wor-
ship, but it is not every hypocrite that will
attend prayer meetings, or read the Bible in
secret, or speak privately of the things of
God to the saints. You shall find the same
true in other things. A man who is no
Christian very likely will not tell you down
right lie by saying that, white, is black, but
he will not hesitate to declare that Whitley
brown is white he will go that length. Now,
the Christian will not 60 half way to a false
hood; nay, he scorns to 60 an inch on that
road. He will no more cheat you out of two
pence farthing than he would out Of two
thousand pounds. He will not rob you of an
ell. Even Pharisee will ask Christ to his
house to sit at meat with him-he is willing
to entertain great religious leader at bis ta-
BILE; but it is not every one who will stoop
down and unoosen his shoes for that very
Pharisee who made the feast never brought
him water to wash his feet, nor gave him the
kiss of welcome. He proved the iusincerity
of his hospitality by forgetting the little
things I will be bound to say Martha and
Mary never forgot to unloose his shoe.latch-
es, and that Lazarus never failed to see that
his feet were washed. Look, then, | pray
you, as Christians, to the service of Christ in
the obscure things, in the things that are not
recognized by men, in the matters that have
no honor attached to them, for by this shall
your love be tried. d.-Spurgeon.

A SKEpTIc's CONFESSIONAL minister
had among his congregation an eminent law:
yer who was an in6del. He had long desired
the salvation of the skeptic, and one day,
knowing that he was to be present in the meet
ing, he prepared a sermon especially for him,
hoping and praying that through it he would
be converted.
The infdel came It was an icy winters
day he listened to the sermon and went his
way, and not long after confessed his faith in
the Lord Jesus Christ The minister rejolced,
and in conversing with him inquired what
portion of the sermon it was which especially
affected his mind, and led to such desirable
result
He answered: ut was not your sermon at
all did not hear it; was making brief
all the time you were preaching. But after
meeting closed, as came out, saw old black
aunt Chloe trying to get down the slippery
steps. stepped forward and helped her
down over the ice to the crossing and as left
her she looked up in my face and said, 20,
massa, l wish you loved my dear Jesus p
Those words rung in my ears, and l could not
get rid of them until | went to my office, and
bowed myself on my knees, and gave myself
to Christ 1t was not your sermon, but it was
old aunt ChlQe's words that led me to the sa-
viour."

A Quick CONFESSIONAL hard old Gus
toner was Badger. He never was known to
attend church, and was considered the wick
eldest man in the small town in which he
lived. One night his old cow was prowlng
about the house seeking what she might de-
YOUR, and stuck her head in the swl l.barrel.
BY the time the barrel was empty, her head
was so far in that she could not withdraw it,
and she made blind rush to free herself
from the incumbrance. As luck would have
is, she struck bee-line for the house, and di.
rectly for the front door. The old man was
sitting inside telling his family all about a
great murder trial, when the COW gave
trightful below, which was prolonged by the
empty barrel into an unearthly roar. At the
same time the front door crashed from its
hinges, and the COW, with her uncommon
headgear, bolted into the room. "Old wick
edness" gave one agonized look at the fright
full demon which confronted him each sepa-
rate and individual hair stood on end shiv-
ering feeling crawled up and down his back /;
his eyes protruded from hishead; altogether,
he was picture of abject terror. Suddenly
his tongue was loosened, and he screamed,
"For heavens sake, take Mary She's better
prepared than 1 amp Since that eventful
nig bit the man has joined an easy-going
church, which is one step progressive, and he
only swears when he sees old brindle or the
swill-barrel. The old COW fetched him."

A MEAN MAN.-Some gentlemen were
talking about meanness, yesterday, writes
eli Perkins," when one said he knew a
man on Lexington Avenue who was the mean
est man in New York.
"How mean is that p I asked.
"Why, Eli," he said, "he is so mean that
he keeps ive-cent piece with string tied to
it to give to beggars; and when their backs
are turned he jerks it out of their pockets!
"Why, this man is so confounded mean"
continued the gentleman, "that he gave his
children ten cents apiece every night for 60
ing to bed without their supper, but during
the night, when they were asleep, he went
up stairs, took the money out of their clothes,
and then whipped them in the morning for
losing it!'
"Does he do any thing else7"
"Yes, the other day dined with him, and
I noticed the poor little servantgirl whistled
all the way up stairs with the dessert-and,
when 1 asked the mean old scamp what made
her whistle so happily, he said:
"Why keep her whistling so she can't
eat the rasins out of the cake"

A WOMAN IN COURT.

A small boy was brought before a magis-
trate in Pottsville the other day upon Sc
rious charge. He was little fellow with a
red head, and his face speckled like guinea
egg. A tuft Of hair stuck through tie top OF
pointed slouched hat, and his knees shone
through holes in those portions Of his pants.
His mother held him fast, and, as she strug-
gled into the Office, the boy swung back like
a contrary mule at the end of halter.
"What's the matter ?" said the magistrate.
"Everything said" the woman. "He's bad !;
he's rotten bad, and thar amt no doing moth
in with him. Thar amt cherry tree round
the town he don't know, and thar amt cat
what shows its nose that he don't let drive

All the trees in the back yard has been killed

all the terbacker that the old man can buy.
He's a-breaking of my heart, and | wants

in an imperious manner, IL am afraid you

affection has endeavored to instill into your

"Now look here, Mr. Judge" said the wo-
man, "that ere boy hain't had much larning
and he can't talk Dutch"
"Well, 1 didn't say he could" replied the
magistrate.
"Waren't that Dutch you we're talking
then"
"No, madam, that was pure Anglo-Saxon."
"What's she got to do with this case?"
"Who?"
"Why Angelina Saxton."
"Who said anything about Angelina Sax

"You did"
"I repeat I did not"
"You did you did did did!!!
did!!!!! did d!!!!!! did !!!!!!! and did, and
did, and you did, did, did, and I'll never give
in."
In the meantime BENJAMIN Franklin sat on
a box and said, "Go in old woman and don't
give up; seen you take down dad that way
many time"
Her breath nearly exhausted, she snatched
the nanesake of the great founder of journal
ism in America and philosopher by the nape
of the neck and swept out of the room declar-
ting she had never been 80 insulted in all her
life, and that too by judge who had had no
