Washington as q Fireman.

In 1774 the Friendship Fire Com
pany, which still exists, was organized.
It at first consisted of citizens who.
out of mutual friendship" agreed to
carry to every fire 1.-TWO leathern buck
cts and one great bag of oznaburg or
wider innen." Washington was made
an honorary member, and when he went
as delegate to the Congress of 1774,
at Philadelphia, he examined the fire.
engines in use there. On bis return to
Philadelphia to the Continental Con-
gress, in Its, be bought from
one Gibbs a small fourth. class engine
for ESQ los, and just before he set
out for Boston Heights to become COM
mander-in-cnief he dispatched this lit
tit engine to the Friendship Company.
When in Alexandria, during his
younger days, he always attended at
fires and assisted to extinguish them.

Danger in Proverbs,

The proverb, "Never put off till to-
morrow what may be done to-day" has
gotten me into Understandable trouble.
It was about the first thing my school
teacher told me, and when I took my
vacation on Friday, instead of putting
it off till Saturday I was arranged in an
uncomfortable position over that school
masters knee and padded in manner
that thought should have been put off
till next day.
The more I see of this life the more
I am satisfied of the danger of proverbs
in general, and particularly of this one.
Why, last week, when Elias Dumfrey's
first wife died and he buried her that
afternoon and married the Widow
GushingtOn before shutdown, I declare
the very people who had been teaching
their children to never put off till to-
morrow what might be done to-day
said it was an outrage on society, and
talked OF building superstructure of
feathers on him.
Consistency, as I may have remarked
before, is jewel, but people seem to be
drifting into the modest, unpretending
ways of Free Methodism that scorns or
namental jewelry.
1 suppose man might possibly eat
six meals to-day and 60 hungry to-mor-
row, but these same people won't do it,
and don't blame them.
presume railroad conductor might
carry tramp over the road to-day just
as we'll as to put him off till tomorrow,
but he won't do it.
Probably I could write q great deal
about proverbs to-day, but I know you
will feel relieved if I put it off till to-
morrow, or even later.-"Ben Wil1e,"

IS Amazing Grace -

The following is vouched for by one
of the most reliable of Philadelphia d.
vines:
A young clergyman, having agreed to
supply the pulpit of an older brother
absent from home, escorted to church
the daughter Of the pastor, and, after
seeing her safely in her fathers pew,
assembled to the pulpit, unconscious
that this natural attention to the young
lady was sufficient to excite lively i'm
aginations and inquiries in the audi
ence.
Upon reading the hymn to be sung,
the young clergyman was surprised to
perceive evident efforts in the conere-
cation to suppress laughter. The
daughter Of his friend possessed the
melifuous name of Grace, and, all un-
suspicious of that fact, he had chosen
tho hymn beginning with the words
Amazing Grace, "and proceeding with ::
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear.
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear

Through many dangers, tolls and sn,res
have already come:

And grace will lead me homei

Fashionable Barbarity.

The author of "Camps in the Carrib-
bees," while in the Caribbean woods,
unexpectedly beheld vision of lowell
ness seldom vouched to the jewellers of
the icy North. Close at hand, within two
feet Of me, sat tiny humming- bird on q
downy nest. Fearlessly it glanced at me
with its bright black eyes, and curiously
1t followed my every motion with its
shapely little head. A buzzing OF wings
attracted my attention, and I beheld the
mate of the one on the nest, who darted
at me with unmistakablc fury, his gilt
tering crest erect, and anger shooting
from his eyes. Verify, had his diminu-
tive body been in proportion to his heart,
/ should have been destroyed. Satisfied
that he could not drive me away by dart
ing at my eyes, he rested a moment on q
twig near the nest, where he was at once
Joined by his mate, who seemed to Ell
deavor by caresses to soothe his temper,
and assure him that my intention toward
them was not evil. Touched to the heart
by this exhibition of trust and love, I would
not have harmed these little innocents
for fortune. Exposed for a moment
were two eggs, white as snow, and small
as seed-pearls."
Now look about you in church, and
ask what that charming young lady with
the humming- bird in her hat would have
done had she been there. She would have
caught the little broodlng mother-bird
and choked it to death. She would have
taken advantage of the chivalry heroism
of the little husband, to catch him as he
charged down upon her, and have wrench
ed his soldiery neck. Then she would
have robbed the nest, blown the specks
of gold out of the pearly eggs, skinned
the two little birds and put the whole on
her hat! No she could not be such a saw
age as that you may say. But she has
and worse! She has paid a savage Ca
rib or Brazilian not only for doing so,
but also for skinning the birds alive, for
that is exactly what they do in order to
preserve and enchance the brilliancy of
the plumage. Don't he hard upon her.
She has not seen it IN this light before.
We will warrant that she will buy no
more humlning-blrds for her hat.-Inte-
rtOr.

AID YOURSELF.
AID youreH, and God will aid you,"


AID yourelf, and God will aid you,"
Is saying that hold
Should be written not in letters
Wrought Of silver or gold.
But upon our hearts be CRAVEN
A command from God in Heaven.
TITS the law of him who made you:
Aid yourself and God will aid you.
Aid yourself-who will not labor
All his wants Of life to gain.
But relies upon his neighbor,
Finds that be relies in vain.
Till you've done your utmost, never
Ask a helping hand, nor ever,
Let the toilful hand upbraid you:
Aid yourself, and God will aid you.
Aid yourself-you know the fable
OF the wheel sunk IN the road;
How the carter was not able
BY his prayers to move the load,
Till, urged by some wise beholder,
He moved the wheel with lusty shoulder.
Do your own work-your Maker babe you.
Aid yourself and God will aid you.
1t is we'll to help brother
Or sister when in need,
But believe me- there's another
Not-to-be-forgotten creed.
Better lore did never science
Teach to man than self-reliance.
IT'S the law Of Him who made you:
Aid yourself, and God will aid you.
Aid ycurself-bc not like ivy
Clinging still to wall or tree.
That can only rise by striving
For support Increasingly.
Rather be the oak, maintaining,
Heart and bran hes, self-sustaining;
For this, "the Great Task Master made got

Ffndlnx 6 Girl, IN tho Bible.

EAnU108 UA1 IL mo OAWA0A
An English town missionary, some
time ago, related . remarkable incident.
There Was . lodging house In his dis
trict, which he had long desired to on
ter, but he was deferred from 10 doing
by his friend, who feared that his life
would be thereby endangered. He be-
came ct length 10 uneasy that he de-
termined to risk all consequences and
try to gain admission. 30 one day he
gave somewhat timid knock ct the
door, in response to which q coarse
voice roared out: Who's there1" and
at the same moment Q vicious-looking
woman opened the door and ordered
the man Of God away.
"Let him come in, and sec who he is
and what he wants" growled out the
same voice. The missionary walked in,
and, bowling politely to the rough-look-
ing man whom he had just heard speak,
said:
II have been visiting most of the
houses in this neighborhood to read
with and talk to the people about good
things. I have passed your door as
long as feel I ought, for I wish also to
talk with you and your dodgers"
ionary?"
II am, SIR" was the reply.
"Well, then," said the fierce-looking
man, sit down and hear what I
am going to say. If you answer me
right you may call at this house and
read and pray with us and our dodgers
as often as you like; but if you do not
answer me right, We will tear your
clothes off your back, and tumble you
neck and heels into the street. Now
what do you say to that? for 1 am man
of my word"
The missionary was perplexed, but at
length quietly said:
II will take you"
"Well, then" said the man, "here
goes. Is the word girl in any part of
the Bible? If so, where can it be found,
and how often? This is my question"
"Well, sir, the word girl is in the
Bible, but only once, and may be found
in the words Of the Prophet Joel, iii. 3.
The words are: And sold a girl for
wine, that they might drink"
SWELL" replied the man, " I am dead
beat; I burst to have bet 25 you coulo
not have told" "And could not have
told yesterday" said the visitor. "For
several days I have been praying that
the Lord would open me q way into this
house, and this morning, when reading
the scriptures in my family, I was sur
prised to find the word girl, and got the
concordance to see if it occurred again,
and found it did not. And now, sir, /
believe that God did know, and does
know what will come to pass, and surely
His hand is in this for my protection
and your good"
The whole of the inmates were
greatly surprised, and the incident has
been overruled to the conversion of the
man, his wife and two of the dodgers

Hen and AlligatOrs.

A Lady residing at Cow island, in
Louisiana, and wishing to ~set" hen.
went into a field adjoining her resi-
dence, where some of her chickens had
been LAYING" and produced some
seventeen eggs and placed them under
the hen. When in the course OF
human events" the chickens were
Matched, 10 and behold! there came
forth four small-sized alligators. It is
supposed that alligators from an adj
joining marsh had deposited their eggs
in the field, and she, not knowing the
difference, placed them under the hen.

aligators follow the mother hen around
