"A parsOn who missionary had been,
And hardships and privations Oft had seen,
While wandering far on lone and desert strands,
A weary traveller in benighted lands,
Would often picture to his little flock;
The terrors of the gibbet and the block;
How martyrs suffer'd in the ancient times,
And what men suffer now in other Chimes;
And though his words were eloquent and deep,
His hearers oft indulged themselves in sleep.

Within the port ais of the house of God,
And once the new experiment thought he'd take
In his discourse, to keep the rogues awake
Said he, " while travelling in a distant state,
WITNESSED scenes which win here relate;
Twas in deep, uncultivated wild,
Where no0ntide glory scarcely ever smiled;
Where wolves in hours of midnight darkness how'd
Where bears frequented, and where panthers prowld
And, on my word, mosquitoes there were found.
Many of which think, would weigh pound

The audience seem'd taken by surprise
All started mp and RUBBED their wondering eyes;
Al such a tale they all were much amazed,
Each dropping lid was in an instant raised,
And we must say, in keeping heads erect,
1t had its destined and desired effect.
But tales like this credulity appalled,;
Next day, the deacons on the pastor call'd
And begged to know how he could ever tell
The foolish falsehood's that from his lips fell,
Why, sir, said one, think what monstIous

Were they as large as you were pleased to state?
You said they'd weigh pound. It can't be true;
Wen not believe IT, though tbs told by you,
All, but it is. the parson quick replied;
: In what l state you may well conhde.
Many, said. sir,-and the story's good
Indeed think that many of them would -
The deacon sawat once that he was caught,
Yet deemed himself relieved, on second thought.

Acting Uuder Excitement.
TDr. Holland, in April scribner. |

49, hCh"hof III Apin ctfiDutr.l
There is great fear, on the part OF
some amiable persons who write for
the public, lest, In certain excited
movements or reform, there should
be those who will take steps for
which they will be sorry. They ar
que from this, that it is not best to
have any excitement at all, and es-
pecialIy that nothing should be done
under excitement. 1t so happens,
however, that the path Of progress
has always been marked by sudden
steps upward and onward. There are
steady growth and steady going, it is
true, but the tendency to rut-making
and routine are so great in human
nature that 1t is often only by wild
excitements that whole community
Is lifted and forwarded to new level.
Men often get into the condition Of
pig-iron. They pile up nicely in bars,
They are in an excellent state Of
preservation. They certainly lie
still and though there is vast capaci-
ty in them for machinery, and cutlery,
and agricultural implements,-though
they contain measureless possibilities
OF spindles and spades.-there is
nothing under heaven but fire tn at
can develop their capacity and real
ize their possibilities.
There are communities that would
never do anything but rot, except
under excitement. A community
often gets into stolid, immovable

He was in church in a strange city
once, and the sexton showed into the
same pew another person, whose
looks impressed Mr.. Cough unfa-
vorably. The stranger had a face
like melted soap, which twitched as IL
a sheet OF lightning had run all over
it, and every now and then his lips
would twist and give utterance to a
strange, spasmodic sound.
Mr.. Cough continues: I got as far
from him as 1 could. Presently the
hymn was given out, and the congre-
cation rose to sing
Just as I am without one plea,
But that thy blood was shed for me-"
l saw that the man knew the hymn,
and said to myself, 'he can't be so
disagreeable after ALL 1 got nearer.
He would sing. 1t was awful-posi-
lively awful. never heard anything
like it; and occasionally he would
make that strange noise with his lips.
Then he'd commence again, and sing
faster to catch up with the other
singers, and perhaps he'd run ahead.
They came to the next verse. He'd
forgotten the first line, and while the
organist was performing the inter-
lude, he leaned toward me and whis-
pered, would you be kind enough to
give me the first line OF the next
verse; / did So
Just as / am-poor, wretchetl, blind
That's it, said he; Il am blind
God help me- and the tears came
running down his face, and thu tear
lids quivered; and / am wretched,
and l am paralytic.' And then he
tried to sing
Just as I am-poOr, wretched, blind
At that moment it seemed to me
that never heard Bethovan SYM
phony in my Life with as much music
in it as in that hymn sung by that
poor man, whom christianity had
made happy in his lot

THE INFLUENCE OF SELECTION IN BREED
ING.
The Importance of careful selec-
ton Of breeding stock cannot be over
estimated. 1t is the magic wand with
which the breeder may change at will
the form OF his stock, and perpetuate
qualities that have proven Of excep-
tional value. 1t has been the princi-
pal secret OF the success of all who
have attained to eminence in the
business of breeding, and the most
potent Of all agents in creating i'm
proved breeds. A careful selection
of animals Of superior merit is essen
tial to Improvement in any breed;
and constant attention to the same
process is absolutely necessary to
prevent deterioration after q breed
has been formed. The breeder whose
admiration for particular pedigree
or family or breed, leads him to use
all the animals OF his favorite race for
breeding purposes, without regard to
individual merit, is treading upon
dangerous ground; for, notwithstand-
ing the well established doctrine that
the general characteristics Of the race
are more likely to be transmitted
than individual peculiarities, it must
always be borne in mind that these
peculiarities are also transmitted
with a greater Oh less degree of GER
tainty; and that, as we carefully Sc
lect the best for the purpose of effect
ing improvement in a breed, we must,
with equal care, reject the poorer
specimens to prevent retrogression.
That the exceptionally bad qualities
of an individual are quite as likely to
be transmitted as the exceptionally
good ones, is as we'll established as
any principle can be in breeding; and
no man who seeks to improve his
stock, or even to maintain the degree
OF excellence already attained. can
afford to ignore the importance Of a
rigid selection OF the best.-Ndtional

With this issue our connection with
the Democrat ceases-be calm!-be

When the stockholders of this paper
unanimously requested that we as

consented deliberately and malicious
