Burdette's Sermon on Contentmsnt.

Be contcnted, my son. You need not
be satisfied with what you are: you don't
want to live without ambition; so long as
you live. strive to be something better
and higher and stronger tomorrow than
you are to-day, but don't worry; don't
fret. Wear your ready-made clothes with
the air of a prince, until you can do bet
ter: eat your twenty-five cent dinner with
the manner of man who is accustomed
to fare sumptuously every day on course
dinners, and like this sort of thing for
a change. Keep the sunshine in our
heart and it will shine out on your face.
The world is always grateful to q sunny
tempered man, just because he is good
enough and glorious enough to live in it.
Laugh, my son, if your stomach is SO
empty that you cannot tell whether your
pain is i'll your liver or your backbone;
wear your hat jauntily if it is so full of
holes that you can t see the grease and
weather stains that cover it; speak cheer
lily, though You have to wear your over
coat every time your shirt goes to the
laundry. 1t won't be All easy thing to
do, right along; the days will come when
good indulgence in the blues would
seem like paradise; there will be hours
when you would rather swear than laugh,
when you would rather growl and wall
than look pleasant there will be times
when in spite of your strength and man
hood and good resolutions, you will 90
away by yourself and groan and bury
your face in your hands and cry like
girl; | know it, son.-Rut don't make a
habit of it and don't let any one see you
do it. It is a dangerous luxury son, and
should only be INDUCED i'll at very long
intervals and on rare occasions. Guilt
vatc contentment; if you have no gloves,
put your hands in your pockets; if your
coat is out at the elbows back up against
the fence; ifyou have no hat, you will
never become bald. And when prosperi-
ty comcs-not if, but when-you will be
prouder of your good nature in the dark
days of your adversely, my son, than you
can be of all honors and all the fame and
position that prosperity and success can
bring you. Never worry, son; don't
fret it will only make your face thin and
your heir turn gray.

THE CROOKED TREE.

''Such cross old woman as Mrs.
Barnes, | never would send her jelly or
anything else again. said Molly Clapp,
setting her basket down hard on the
table. she never even said Thank you,'
but Set the cup on the table, child. and
don't knock over the bottles. Why don't
your mother come herself, instead of
sending you9 I'll be dead one of these
days, and then she'll wish she had been

DAVIS straighten the old cherry tree"
called Tom through the window; and
old Mrs, Barnes was forgotten rs Molly
flew out over the green to the next yard.
Her mother watched with good deal
of interest the efforts of two stout men
as, with strong ropes, they strove to pull
the crooked tree this way and that; but
it was OF no use.
Its as crooked rs the letter S, and has
been for twenty years. You're just
twenty years too late, Mr.. DAVIS" said
Joe, as he dropped the ropes and wiped
the sweat from his face.
Are you sure you haven't begun
twenty years too late on tobacco and rum
Joe:' asked Mr.. DAVIS.
That's a true word, master. and it's
as hard to break off with them as to make
this old tree straight. But l signed the
pledge last night and with Gods help
mean to keep it,"
''With Gods help, you may hope to
keep it, joe responded the master.
Our religion gives every man a chance
to reform No one need dispair so long
as we have such promises of grace to
help"
That's my comfort sir, said the man
humbly. ''but shall tell the boys to try
and not grow crooked at the beginning"
Mother" said Molly as she stood by
the window again at her mothers side,
Il know now what is the matter with
old Mrs. Barnes. She needn't try to be
pleasant and kind now, for she's like the
old tree; its twenty years too late

must begin now to keep back harsh words
and unkind thoughts; then she will never
have to say, rs Joe said about the tree,

ENGLISH PROPERTY,

The god of English social life next in
dignity to mammon is propriety. Now
propriety, rightly worshiped, is very
good god: his very rites are sweetness,
order, decency, and in their practice they
involve that consideration for others
which is the highest form of morality, and
even of piety. But the British Philistine
(and all England is more or less given over
to Phiistnism, which invades the very
social regions i'll which it is most dreaded
and decriedl makes propriety Moloch,
before whom he prostrates himself, and
before whom he often makes his very
children sacrifice some of the beauty Of
their youth lives. The highest social
aim. the greatest social law 10 this sort OF
Englishman, is to do the correct thing.
Having attained this, he feels that he has
ahsolved himself of every social duty, and
clothed his soul in panoply of proof

Wherefore he lives his life surrounded by

One was handed him. He lighted IT,,
and then descended by the orlflce
through which the three figures had
emerged. After short distance he
found passage way, which went down
on the side of a cliff that had been sever
ed In twain. The path sloped steeply
for one hundred yards or so and ended
in cavern. Here and there were bar
rels and boxes In great numbers, filed
with contraband articles. The cavern
was just underneath the gibbet, the
latter having been of service in frlghten-

A Strict Omoer.

IN the year 1862, when the army Of the
i Union was filled with citizen-soIdiers
unaccustomed to strict army regulations,
regular army officer as commander
was very much dreaded by the volun-
teers. Colonel c., regular army
officer, was assigned to the command
Of the brigade was in, and, after being
subjected to his strict rules as TO duty,
we felt that there was reason to dread q
regular. We soon learned, however, to
love and respect our commander. One
of the first incidents related In camp
that led US to think favorably Of our
Colonel was the following:
A soldier of my regiment had captured
six-weeks-old pig, and had been him
self captured by the division provost
guard. General W, who command
ed the division, sent the soldier, under
guard, to Colonel c., with verbal
order that he be sent to his regiment
and severely punished. The guard did
as ordered. The Colonel sent the guard
back from whence they came, and the
soldier stood in the presence of the
Colonel, expecting the worst. The
Colonel said:
"Where in hi did you get that
pig 2"
II stole it down the road there at
farm house" replied the soldier.
Amy more there2"
Yes, plenty"
The Colonel arose, took the pig from
under the soldiers arm, and, looking ut
it, said, SEQ and steal another one,
d-n you; will keep this one"
