apt. This action, which was on account an
nexed fer an overcoat Sl7 and interest 81,
total SIS, was originally brought before
Judge Palmer OF the Gardiner Police Court,
and comes here by appeal of the defendant
from the judgment of that court. The def.
admits that he bargained for the coat at the
price charged, to be made from a certain
piece of cloth which he had selected, or from
a piece like it. But he says that when the
garment was sent to him it proved to be of
inferior quality, made up of cloth that pulled
and cockled, and was only worth 50 to $lO
which he has offered to pay He kept the
coat and never offered to return it. Decision

but says it was obtained by fraud. and was
without consideration, and that the plaintiffs
knew this when they became the holders of
the note. He says that the paper he sup
posed he was signing was some sort of obi
CATION to account for a lot of pruning shears
which he was to receive from the payees of
the note and sell for them. The public have
already heard good deal about this pruning
shears concern which went through the State
year or two ago swindlng the unwary farm
ers. After the trial was closed the judge re-
marked that there could be no question
about the transaction between Yancy and the
defendant being fraudulent one, but on the
question of the right of Colburn & Taught to

TWO CHILDREN.

Two children sit ut an open door
And play with the sunshine on the floor;
Both are happy and free from care,
Both have scanty and haxcn hair.
One in an arm chair hath a seat,
The other is playing about her feet
A wrinkle is drawn across this cheek,
A dimple on that plays hide and seek.
This one leans on worn old stan,
The other is tugging at it with alaugh.
Bent is one, while the other sways
With lissome form and baby ways.
One hath blurred and faded eyes,
VIII L. the upturned ones reflect the skies.
One hand is strong in its baby grasp,
The other hath furtive and trembling clasp.
And there they st through the summer day
And chuckle and laugh in childish play.
Ny God, as gaze hide my tears,
Their ages differ four score of years.

No MAN breaches his sermon well to

his own heart ~ oven.
THE mild splendors of the rising sun,
the ruddy, glowing tents of the evening,
the moons calm radiance in serene
night-all these swell our bosoms with
pleasures; but sweeter, still sweeter, my
son, is the recollection of benevolent
Decd eSsner. .......-...
If men and women would only arise
every morning with the firm purpose to
live better than they did the day before,
and every day take step forward by
the experience of the past and the help
of the ever-present Spirit, how few
would fail in life's duties, or become
unworthy of its rewards!-G Golden Rule.
PATIENCE is the endurance of any evil,
out of the love of God, as the will of
God. The offices of patience are as va
ried as the ills of life. We have need of
it with ourselves and with others; with
those above and below us, and with
equals; with those who love us, and
those who love us not; for the greatest
things and the least; against sudden
trouble, and under daily burdens; dis
appointments as to weather or the break
ing of the heart; in WEAKNESS of body,
in wearing of soul; in our own failure,
and others failure to us. In all these
things, from childhood's little troubles
to the martyrs sufferings, patience is
the grace of God, whereby we endure
evil for love of Him, and keep still and
motionless not to offend Hmm y
Observer
The daily life of every one of us
teens with occasions which will try the
temper of our courage as searchingly,
though not as terribly, as battlefield or
fire or wreck. For we are born into a
state of war; with falsehood and disease
and wrong and misery, in thousand
forms, lying all around us, and the
voice within calling on US to take our
stand as men in the eternal battle
against these. And in this lifelong
fight, to be waged by every one of us
single-handed against host of foes,
the last requisite for a good fight, the
last proof and test of our courage and
manfulness, must be loyalty to truth
the most rare and difficult of all human
qualities. For such loyalty, as it grows
in perfection, asks ever more and more
of us, and sets before us a STANDARD of
manliness always rising higher and
higher. And this great lesson we
learn from Christ's life, the more
earnestly and faithfully we study it,

Very Suggestive.

A HARTFORD daily paper contained
the following: At weekly prayer
meeting lately of church not a thou
sand miles from Hartford, one of the
brethren related vision he had, in
which two brethren in that church met
in Heaven, and one of them incident
ally remarked that he came from
earth. The other Immediately caught
at the idea, and said with much inter-
est: "Indeed! 1 also came from
earth" A replied: '1s that so? Say,
from what portion of the earth did you
Gomez" B answered.: 'From the
United States of America" The other
replied: "Ah! you did. also came
from there. How happy 1 am to meet
you and make your acquaintance.
Now, pray tell me from which of the
States you came" B said' 81 came
from the good old State of Con-
necticut, the land of steady habits"
More interested than ever, A ex-
claimed: Is it possibleP If you will
believe me l also came from that
State" Here he proceeded to inquire:
Excuse me, but may | ask further:
From what place in Connecticut did
you Gomez" Certainly" B respond
ed: 81 came from -" More as
tonished still, A exclaimed elbow
strange! Why, l came from there, too,
and lived there during all my sojourn
on earth, and yet we never made each
others acquaintance" The next in
quiry was: "With what particular
church in - were you connected?"
B renlied: with Rev. Mr.. IS
church, Astonished, A exclaimed:
+" Is it possibleP l was member of
that church, and yet we never became
acquainted or ever yet spoke with each
other" The two brethren implored
each others forgiveness, and asked
God to help them set aside earthly dis
tinctions and to live more in the spirit
of Christian fellowship.

fic resort, the language of conduct is,
" | don't know you, and what do care
fore you! l am not going to sacrifice
anything, or take pains for anybody
whom l don't know" This kind of
courtesy is more common than is to be
desired.
Christian courtesy, or, if you please,
true courtesy, is the outworking, under
all circumstances and in alterations, of
genuine love. Peter hits it when he
says, Live as brethren, be pitiful, be
courteous. 1t is readiness to take
pains that another may have comfort,
and it matters not who that other may
be. There may or there may not be
an observance of rules of etiquette.
There may or there may not be elegance
of manners and grace of movement.
True politeness goes deeper and has its
roots in character, in unvarying prin-
ciples. No man or woman can be
really uncourteous when controlled by
an atfectionate interest in those by
whom surrounded. The old squaw had
the genuine article when she secretly
poured some tea into her dish, sweeten-
ed it, and with kind look gave it to the
captive white woman brought into
camp. 1t was not particularly pleasant
to see her stirring the tea with her filthy
finger, but even this did not prevent
the deed being one of true courtesy. We
shall never forget the carefulness with
which one of the toughest rough in
dress, and rough in speech, and awkward
in movement-laidth the firstshovelfuls of
gravel upon little coffin in the West
ern backwoods. In a solicitude in the
feelings of others we read the true
gentleman, and what are clothes and
manners in comparisonP Very natur-
ally we prefer the nicely-bound book,
with unsoiled pages, to the one with
cover torn, leaves dog cared and
stained; but that which gives chief
value is what is on the pages. 1t were
more pleasing to see loving heart
manifesting its sweetness in graceful
ness of motion and neatness of dress,
and in accordance with the general
rules of society; but what are these,
after all, compared with the contents
and outworkings of the heart? The
teacher of etiquette and grace may,
indeed, polish diamond; he may also
manufacture an imitation out of worth
less paste; he may give ease to BASH
fulness, or put mask on selfishness.
Let the diamonds be polished if pos
sible, but better an unpublished diamond
than cheap imitation. Let there be
etiquette and grace if possible, but
better ignorance of rules and awkward
ness, with love in the heart, than mean
selfshness with fair exterior. Golden

Christian Courtesy.

THERE is courtesy and there is
Christian courtesy. There is courtesy
that can be put on and left off to suit
circumstances. There is a courtesy
that is an essential part of the individ-
ual and can no more be left off than the
delicate complexion or the mild blue
eye. .l..
The contrast between the elegant
toilet worn at an evening party and the
slovenly one in which the same indi-
vidual appears at breakfast-table next
morning is often no greater than the
contrast between the manners of the
individual on the two occasions. In
fact, the contrast between society dress
and home dress is often not SO great
as between society manners and home
manners. The assumed courtesy con-
trolls in the parlor, but not in the dining
or supper room, for often in society the
signal for refreshments is only the sig
nal for the removal of masks. This
kind of courtesy is only mask. We
have seen, even in the best society,"
scramble for best seats and best
dishes, not unlike what is seen about
the swine's trough at feeding time.
Every man for himself and the devil
take the hindermost."
This assumed courtesy runs no risk
of getting soiled in the kitchen for the
mistress who has worn it in the parlor
puts its off when it becomes necessary
to give orders about meals or cooking.
1t is worn with customers, but not en-
ployees. 1t will not be injured in the
cars, or in crowds, whether about the
door of church or amusement hall, for
it is not worn in railway travel or in
crowds. Men and women would be
ashamed to be seen without it by ac-
quaintances, but care not how many
strangers see them in all their native and
naked boorishness. On the street, on
cars, at hotels, and in all places of pub

Useless Anxieties.

IT is better to 90 to bed tonight
thanking God for what he has helped
us to-day than asking him to help us do
as much more tomorrow. "Give us
this day our daily bread;' three is moth
ing in the Lords prayer about to-mor-
row. 1t is Christian to feel as the nigat
traveller does, who knows that the road
before his feet will become light Just as
fast as it is illuminated by the candle
which he carries and which moves as he
moves. How much we admire serenity
becomes evident by rejecting how i'm
possible it would be to conceive of Jesus
Christ as worrying. One instance OF
Christ's worrying would break the pow
er of the gospel, and we weaken it when
we do worry. The mirage makes dis
tant things seem more beautiful than
they are. Why should not the heart be
as generous as the eye? But anxiety is
a chill that strikes back from tomorrow
into to-day 1t multiplies i'll, and at
the same time subtracts comfort. 1t
doubles evils and halves JOYS, and so
quadruples life's duties. 1t divides our
power and doubles our burden. 1t
spoils our work and spoils us. Anxiety
as to how we are going to get along to-
morrow wears out more lives than con-
sidering how we are getting along to-
day. And to-day's failures brought
about by to-day's worry go far towards
breaking us down by to-morrow's bur
dens when they come. The days all lit
into each other. To-days success is
half parent to to-morrow's success; and
failure too often genders after its kind.
And so life is, after all, matter of to-
day" Give us this day our daily
bread" Each moment is crisis, and
all eternity is the child of time. That
life is blessed that is made up of days
that are manly, and that day is manly
whose moments are severally filed with
the strength of God.-C. II, ParkhurSt.
