THE DEACON ANswERED.-'Up in
New Hampshire, where l lived when a
boy" says Governor NOyes, "there was
an old deacon who was great deal more
piOus than honest. He was an old hyp-
ocrite, and when he had done any par
ticularly mean thing, he eased his con-
science by going out into a field along
side of which was a stone wall, aud,
kneeling beside it, praying the Lord to
topple it over on him il he had done any
thing offensive to him or offensive in
his sight. Well, we boys found it out,
and one day when we saw the deacon
making for the wall, we got on the
other side and waited. He knelt down,
according to his usual custom, and went
through his usual formula, closing with
the petition to have the wall tOpple over
if he had done anything wrong. We
toppled it. Jumping out from under
the stones, the old man cried in tones OI
mingled disgust and alarm, Good gra-
cious Can't you tell when man is
joking 2n

GOING THROUGH COLLEGE.-Theo-
dore Parker never received diploma,
though he pursued the full college course
at Harvard. Nor did he ever recite 8
single line to a professor. His father
was poor, and could not afford to pay
the college expenses; but Theodore was
evening ne said:
"Father, l have entered Harvard Col
lege."
"How did you prepare?" asked the
astonished parent.
81 studied by myself evenings, after
the days work was done, and mornings
before work" He was then assisting
his father on the farm.
but | cannot pay your expenses in
college,"
81 know that; I mean to stay at home
and keep up with my class"
And he did more than keep up with
the class; part of the time be worked
for his father at home, and part of the
time he taught school, paying his father
eleven dollars month TO hire another
hand in his place. He passed the ex-
animation successfully, but was not
given a degree because he had been a
nonresident, and had paid no fees.
Subsequently a degree was offered him,
on condition of paying the customary
fees; but money was scarce, though en-
ergy and scholarship were ample, and
he was obliged to decline it.
What a reprOach is his example to
those who, having everything to help
them in r college course, waste time
and advantages !-YOUth's Companion
