and gave him a good summer suit Of
clothes, which made him very happy.
Toward evening Joseph Phelps received a
notice, through Bridget Malone, the cook,
that her master, Mark Harrington, wished
to see him.
He entered that gentlrman's presence
trembling. He had committed grave
ofense by taking seat beside him I'm

Catlin preach yesterdayl' asked Mr. Har-
rington with an amused smile.
s'No-yes-I guess I did don't

with wild, frightened eyes, and face
spotted like an adder. a low CYCLE came
from Miss Fannie, who was sitting in the
bay window with Miss HELEN 'sDo YOU

"Yes, sir"
"Then you shall. I'll give you an or

and I'll pay for them" A joyful light
bsunded into Joseph's eyes.

''l'm in luck" went on Joseph eailv
"You gave me suit Of clothes for sitting
in Mr. Harrington's pew, and they've

behind a spruce tree, and every word
came straight to her ears. She went into
the house and faithfully reported them

s'He wanted tc prove our profession. We
haven't been kind or considerate enough
oThim. He is good man and we ought
to treat him ditferently-just as if we
were in his place, and he in ours.''
Hiram Lynde's experiment proved
highly beneficial, in three ways. He
learned by it that fashionable Christians
even, who wear velvet, silks, and Jewels.
have often noble hearts which beat in
helpful sympathy for the needy. It Was
the means OF introducing Joseph Phelps
to MIR. Harrington and his family, and
they ever after took a deep interest in his
welfare. Finally. it revealed to the
Harrlngtons the duty of being more con
siderate towards those serving them, and
the lesson was never forgotten.
On sped the years, bringing many
changes. Hiram Lynde IS respected,
useful man. By carefully saving his
earnings, and the loan of few hundred
dollars from Mr., Harrington, he has
been able to purchase fine little farm
which made him very happy.
