CIeanlnga a Quaker Meeting House.

DIR. H, one of the skilled physi--
clans of old-time Philadelphia, was a
member Of the Society of Friends, though
not always strictly obedient to their
rules. He was called on at one time by a
committee of the -" Meeting," who ex-
postulated with him upon his want of
conformity in some respect. He heard
them patiently, and in silence, and then
said:
I" Friends, have had dream which
would like to tell you.''
They agreed to hear him, and the old
gentleman proceeded:
dreamed that the whole Society of
Friends were collected in our great
meeting house, and attending to the
business of the Church. The subject
under discussion was the filthy condi-
ton of the meeting house, and the
means of cleansing it. Many plans
were proposed and discussed by the
prominent members, who sat in the up
answer the purpose, until one little man
who occupied seat on the floor of the
house, and had not taken part in the
discussion, got up and said Friends,
think that if each one of US would
take broom and sweep Immediately
around his own seat, the meeting house
would be cleaned"
A good lesson for every one. I'M
provements may go abroad, but should
begin at home. Let each man improve
himself, and he will be better fitted to
improve others.

A Fish Story.

Land and Water relates the following,
concerning a remarkable battle, lasting
for sixteen hours, between plucky
sportsman and an obdurate salmon, be-
fore the latter was conquered: "On
Friday, P. NJ, Mr.. Crawshay hooked
fish below Houghton Castle, but did
not land him till Saturday morning, the
oath inst, at 8 A. M. Immediately after
being hooked, the fish went down the
river, taking out upwards of one hum
dred yards of line. The water being
strong and the fish determined, it was
impossible to get him back. A wood by
the water-side made it equally impossi-
bic for Mr.. Crawshay to follow his fish,
and so things remained until boat
was brought at daylight the next morn
ing from some distance, by which means
the wood was passed and the fish at last
landed on gravel bed, in the presence
of many spectators, some of whom had
passed the night with the angler. The
fish was a splendid male, forty inches
long, and twenty-five inches girth !;
weight, 25b pounds.

Strike the Knot.

"Strike the knot ~ said a man one
day to his son, who, tired and weary,
was leaning on his axe over alog he had
in vain been trying to cleave. Then,
looking at the log, the man saw howt
boy had hacked and clipped all round
the knot without hitting it. Taking the
axe, he struck few sharp blows on the
knot, and split the log without difficult
ty.
Smiling, he returned the axe to his
son, saying, Always strike the knot"
That was good advice. 1t is good for
you, my children, as it was to the boy
to whom it was first given. 1t is cap
ital maxim to follow when you are in
trouble. Have you hard sum to do at
school," Have you got to face the diff
ficultyp Are you leaving home for the
first time to live among strangers p
Strike the knot Look your trouble in
the eve, as the bold lion hunter looks in
the face of a lion. Never shrink from
painful duty, but step up to it and do it.
Yes, strike the knot, boys and girls, and
you will always conquer difficulties.

endure it no longer, and cutting the

his feelings. He says that since these

proceed with service when q dog was

centrated on his duties. = EDITORS
