SOMETHING INSIDE A PIG.-Said Edward
Everett once: "The common people will al
ways understand speaker who understands
himself and uses simple language" But
some speakers seem to possess the incurable
faculty of always shooting over the common
peoples heads. The story is told Of a
city minister, who, afterpreaching for a friend
in the country, was told by the latter:
"You have given US very good sermon,
with one exception, and that is, you used some
words our people don't understand"
The former thought the latter was certain.
ly mistaken, and asked what single word he
had used that all could not easily understand.
why" replied the other, "you said 'felici.
ty' instead of happiness Now, all our people
know what happiness is, but great many Of
them. l assure you, do not know the meaning
of felicity" AS the preacher doubted this,
the country minister said: There comes one
of our plain, sensible farmers; we will ask
him."
And as the farmer came up he said: awe
were just speaking about word-the word
felicity can you tell us what is its mean
ing?"
"Why, yes" said the farmer; "certainly, |
know what felicity is; it is something inside
u pig, though don't know exactly what!'-

pa~ Tom Marshall was using quite abusive
language in a Kentucky court at one time
and the judge, after one or two reprimands
fined him SO for contempt. Mr.. Marshall
looked at the judge with smile, and asked
where he was to get the money, as he had not
red. Borrow it of a friend" said the court
"Well, sir" answered Mr.. Marshall, "you are
the best friend have; will you lend me the
money!" "Mr. Clerk" said the judge, "you
may remit the fine. The State is as able to
lose it as am"

p9- The death of our Saviour, like every
other part of his marvellous history, reveals
his divinity and glory. While the darkened
sun, and quaking earth and rending rocks
emphaticalIy announce their sympathy with
their suffering Lord, His divinity shines in
still brighter glory in the working of bis spir-
it and grace in the heart of the penitent thief.
Here his glorious grace shines in all its beau
ty and grandeur; here it works with effica-
cous power for the salvation of soul. In
this picture we have strkingly presented
three crosses and three divine victories first,
Jesus our Saviour, the object of worship; sec.
ond, the penitent thief believing sinner,
and third, the unbelieving, rallying, hopeless
reflector of Christ. While the whole picture
is intensely absorbing and attractive, we in
stinctively gather about the praying penitent,
and join our hearts in his prayer of faith

TENDER Footed HoRsEs.-An old man,
who has had much experience in handling
and dealing in horses for more than half d
century, said to me recently that he had nev-
er known horse to get "tender-footed" that
was kept loose in a shed and yard, or in a
OK stall that turning round and treading
with their toward feet in the manure, kept
them constantly moist and soft. His theory
appeared perfectly reasonable to me. l have
no box stalls, but use shavings for bedding,
and every morning with large shovel |
move the wet shavings under the horses
front feet, and then the last thing at night
cover these with dry shavings for him to lie
on. He remarked that he had never known
hat.footed horse but what was great worker

fact that the stomach was not able to digest

par A glue for ready use is made by adding
to any quantity of glue, common whisky
instead Of water. Put both together in a
bottle, cork it tight and set it away for three
or four days, when it will be fit for use without
the application of heat. Glue thus prepared
will keep for years, and is at all times fit for
use, except in very cold weather, when it
should be set in warm water before using.
To obviate the difficulty of the stopper getting
tight by the glue drying in the mouth of the
vessel, use tin vessel with the cover fitting
tight on the outside to prevent the escape Of
the spirit by evaporation. A strong solution
of isinglass made in the same manner, is an
excellent cement for leather.

HEALTH UNDERvALUED.-Such is the
power of health, that without it's cooperation
every other comfort is torpid and lifeless as the
power of vegetation without the sun. And
yet this bliss is commonly thrown away in
thoughtless negligence or in foolish expert
ments on our own strength. We let it perish
without remembering its value, or waste it
to show how much we have to spare. 1t is
sometimes given up to the management of
levity and chance, and sometimes sold for the
applause of jollity and debauchery.

The haphazard of life and death was
illustrated in many ways by the Tay
Bridge calamity. One lady, who trav.
eled with her maid, had ordered cab
for the morning train, which reached its
destination in safety, but the cabman
oversight, and they were obliged to take
the next train-the one which was
buried in the quicksands at the bottom
Of the river. Another instance of train.
missing turned out more happily. A
gentleman was determined to 90 te
Dundee, Notwithstanding his wife's en-
treaties, and that prudent lady took pains
to have the cabman behind time so tha,
her husband lost the ill-fsted train. He
was angry at the time obut is reconciled
to the situation now, and entertains a
favorable opinion of his wife's weather
wisdom. Another man lost his life
through the business shrewdness of the
girl to whom he was engaged. He was
visiting at her house in Endinburg,
and was anxious to remain until Mon
day, but she persuaded him to return
rather than incur the displeasure Of his
employees by breaking faith with them.

Enoch Arden has been outdone in
Council Bluffs, Iowa. Some time prior
to the war young couple met and loved.
After short courtship they were mar
ried and lived happily together. When
the war broke out the husband shoul-
dered musket in defense of his country.
Letters came regularly for a time, and
then ceased. Word was sent home that
he had been taken prisoner, and soon af-
ter the dread news came that he was
dead. The news was considered so authen-
tic that the Government allowed the
widow and her children a pension. Al
ter reasonable time she listened to the
pleadings Of another suitor and married
him. The second husband proved to be
worthless drunkard, and she got di-
vorce on the ground Of intemperance'
Not content with her bad luck, she con-
cluded to marry again, her third being
even worse failure than her second hus
band. After the third had abandoned
his home the first unexpectedly turned
up and resumed his responsibilities.
