A BIT OF A SERMON.

Whatso'er you find to do,
Do it, boys, with all your might!
Never be little true;
Or e little in the right.
Trifle even
Lead to heaven,
Trife makes the life of man;
Soin all thiHgs,
Great or small things,
Be as thorough as you can.
Let no speck their surface dim
Spotless truth and honor bright
I'd not give fig for him
Who says any lie is white!
He who falters,
Twists or alters
Little atoms when we speak,
May deceive me,
But believe me,
To himself he is a sneak!
Help the weak if you are strong,
Love the old ii yon are young,
own fault if you are wrong,
II you're angry, hold your tongue
In each duty
Lies beauty,
II your eyes do not shut,
just as surely
And securely
AS kernel in nut.
Love with all your heart and soul,
Love with eye and ear and touch,
That's the moral of the whole.
You can never love too much!
IT'S the glory
Of the story
In our babyhood begun;
Our hearts without it,
Never doubt it,,
Are the worlds without sun,
If you think word will please,
Say it, if it is but true,
Words NAV give delight with ease,
When no act is asked from you.
Words mry often
Soothe and soften,
Gid a Joy or heal pain;
They are treasures
Yielding pleasures
1t is wicked to retain!
Whatsoever you find to dc,
Do it then with all your might
Let your prayers be strong and true
Prayer, my lads, will keep you right.
Prayer in all things,
Great and small things,
Like Christian gentleman;
And forever,
Now or never,
Be as thorough as you can.

"A suit brought by John Martin
against j. l.. Duttolph which was tried

erroneous stories az to the action

his case upon the evidence afforded by
his book. The suit was brought before
Justice Stapleton.

that time kept Buttolph's books, |
showed TO mean that the barrel Of flour
had been returned TO Martin. After |

which was explained to mean that he |
procured a second barrel of flour of
Martin. Buttolph's journal showed a
single credit OF one barrel of the same
date of Jan. Z. There was, however, Il
