A Dyspeptic's Dinner.

There came to tie dinner table at the
Lawrence house the other day two stranier.
ers, one a lean and hungry looking Gus
toner, the other decent appearing
young fellow. As they reached the table
the Older man clu,chca frantically at the
bill of fare and remarked as follows:
''hets see what they got. You know
| cant eat everything. Been nearly
dead for ten weeks with dyspepsia. All,
Soyster SOUP guess that won't hurt me. d
To waitcr-"Brine me some oyster soup
and, let's see, boiled whitetish,' yes, iii

The soup and the fish were RAPIDLY
eaten. "Now, let's. see what else they've
got; you know I can't eat everything
Roast turkey that ought not to hurt me
III have some O. that. Roast beef YES,
I'll have some o. that. Chicken potpic,
yes, that's easily digested I'll have some
Let's sec, l can't eat everything; I'll take
a bit OF the boiled ham, some mscaroni,
and ah, some chicken livcrs and veg

The waiter had been taken the order
and the man with the weak stomach
reached this way for crackers, that way
tor butter, here took piece of bread,
there pickle and stalk ct celery, and
frequently remarking that he couldn't
cat every thing, stayed his stomach until
his dinner was brought. He looked it
over, sent the waiter back for some roast
veal and another oni n, rcmarking that
his stomach was weak. he had been suf-
fering terribly from dyspepsia, and
couldn't eat everything, but at last got to
work and cleared the dishes.
The matter cf desert troubled him
some because his stomach was so weak,
but he finally ordered mince pie, plum
pudding and ice cream, with a cup of
coffee.
They were brought and devoured, and
then he called the waiter and made her
a confidential communication that he had
been sick with the dyspepsia, that his
stomach was weak, he couldn't cat every
thing, and would she bring him bowl
OF milk?
The milk was brought; he crumbled
some bread therein, and as his younger
companion had departed, the man with
the weak stomach remarked to the gentle
man across the table from him that it was
darned rough to have to come down to
bread aud milk. but he had been sick, lie
couldn't eat everything and had to he

Influence of Sensible Women.

IL is 4 wondrous advantage to a man,

of tact, and q plain soundness Of judy
ment, which are rarely combined to an
equal degree III man. A woman, If she
be really your friend, will have u sensi-
tive regard for your character, honor and
rcpute She viii seldom counsel You to
do q shabby thing, for u woman-friend
always desires to bc proud of you. At
the same time, her constitutional timid-
ity makes her more cautious than your
male friend. She, therefore, seldom
counsels you to do an imprudent thing

THE FIRST DAY SABBATH IT'S
LAW.

Under this title, DR.. G.. IL. Atkinson
has prepared q very able discourse,
which viii soon appear in pamphlet
form, and deserves to be generally read
and considered He traces the law of
the Sabbath, the seventh day of rest, I'M
der the early Hebrew dispensation; it's
need to weary man as a day Of rest from
care and labor, and its dedication to the
worship of God. He proceeds to show
the Interpretation given to the Sabbath
by the Savior, that the Sabbath was
made for man and not man for the Sab
bath; that Christ delegated all power to
His disciples and they dedicated the first
day of the week to HIM, calling it the
Lords Day, observing it upon the day
Of the week when He was restored to
them. He shows, in an interesting series
If sketches from Roman history, the
writings Of Pliny and Trajan, what per
secution Christians endured for its OBJ
servance and how the Christian Church
with unanimity commemorated the first
day of the week, under the example set
by the Apostles. The need of the Sab
bath for rest and reflection are well set
forth and the fact sustained that the
Sabbath question is one of quality and
not Of quantity. Travel around the
world westward and day is lost; travel
eastward and day is gained, Towards
the Polar Circle there is six months of
day and six of night These facts show
that the world cannot celebrate the iden-
teal day in unison and it follows that
identity is less important than the pro
per observance Of some day as the Lords
Day, rest, Sabbath. This discourse
is calculated to strengthen the Christians
faith in the Sabbath, and satisfy the
minds of all that they properly celebrate
the day the Savior rose from the grave,
and upon which, at subsequent times,
he repeatedly appeared to his disciples
