Quick at Kepartee.

lboston lranstTlpt]
A friend and neighbor has son who
is 30 quick at repartee that it is little
dangerous to cross swords with him. He
was out riding with his father the other
day, when, noting the name of the street,
he asked if it was named for Mr.. B.. a
well-known but not altogether popular
citizen
"By no means" said the father; "it
was not named for him, but for his ia
ther, who was very popular and very
much esteemed The boy said nothing;
so his father, who thought he saw a
chance to preach little sermon, contin-
ued: ats very apt to be SO: A boy has
father, whom everybody loves and re-
spects for his good qualities and abilities,
but in too many cases the boy don't
amount to anything" Said the boy, af-
ter a pause, "your father was very much
esteemed, wasn't he, sirf'

I.Ove's Ingenuity.
lEDglish PaDer.l


A couple, not 100 miles from Manches,
ter, carried on their courtship in rather e
novel manner.
A young man had fallen in love with
the daughter Of his employer, but from
certain ideas of wealth match was op.
posed by the father. The consequence
was that the young man was forbidden to
visit the house of his employer. The old
gentleman was in the habit of wearing
cloak, and the young couple made him
the innocent bearer of their correspon-
dence. The lady pinned letter inside
the lining Of the old mans cloak every
day, and when the father went into his
counting house and threw off his cloak
the lover took out the lady's epistle, and
read it, then returned reply in the same
manner. 1t is needless TO add that love
and ingenuity were finally successful.

Death Is Birth.

No man who is fit to live need fear to
die. Poor faithless souls that we are!
How we shall smile at our vain alarm
when the worst has happened! 10 us
Death is the most terrible word we know.
But, when we have tasted its reality, 1t
will mean to us birth. deliverance, new
creation of ourselves. 1t will be what
health is to man. 1t will be what home is
TO the exile. 1t will be what the loved
one gives back is to the bereared- As
we draw near to it solemn gladness
should fill our hearts. 1t is Gods great
morning lighting up the sky. Our fears
are the terrors of children ir. the night
The night, WITH its terrors, its darkness
it's feverish dream is passing away, ano
when we awake it will be into Gods sun
light.

SelfsIlness.

Selfishness is the mother Of sorrow.
When one is on the stretch to secure
personal aims, he is exposed to failure.
When one acts as a guardian for self, he
is in perpetual anxiety. Anxious only
for tine cause, and seeking only to be eX-
pended in the best way for its publication,
anv thrusts made for self are harmless
Thus anxiety for self is a useless burden,
which NAV be cast off. Have you this
freedom? 1t is part Of the divine plan.
If YOU have not reached the repose where
YOU can free yourself OF any CALLING cares
that NAV be weighing YOU down you are
missing your privilege.

Perfect Love.

Holy and beautiful indeed is the smile
of tathomiess and perfect love. Too sell
dom does it live; too seldom tighten heavy
cares and earthly sorrows. Too seldom
does it gladden. burdened hearts, give re-
freshing dews to thirsty souls. Too sell
dom, indeed, does it have a birth. Too
often does it soon leave lite's pathway,
even if fairly born and dearly welcomed
there.
On the other hand, as the preacher
would say, the house of man happily
married is paradise. He never leaves it
without regret, never returns to it but
with gladness. The friend of his soul,
the wife of his bosom, welcomes his ap-
proach with smile and word that sends
JOY to his heart; and the longer he fingers
in the atmosphere of her love, the more
he desires to dwell there forever.

He Won't Have 1t.

A sensitise Vermont man has thought
It necessary to publish the following card
in his county paper: "Some people have
the vulgar habit of calling me Bill; that
is not my name, nor any part OF II. Wy
name is William Palmer ! forgive all
past offences; but if any person ever calls
me Bill again after the publication OF this
letter, shall take it as downright insult
and lust as much OF an insult as though
he had called me by any other hatetu
name that is not my own"

Don't aatter yOurelf that friendship
authorizes you to say disagreeabie things
to your intimates. On the contrary the
nearer you come into relation with per-
