Let no petty, factional differences

Why is it that the talent Of your

Justly deserves? This question is
easily answered when you take a
candid view of it. There is so
much strife between members o!

!" Singing Joseph"

It is well-known fact that STAN
Eerer can sing without difficulty,
though he can't speak six words With
out suffering. The fact explains this
incident: n
When the supper was on the tsble, I
suggested that we wait for his father
and mother to cosae before We should
eat supper. The po0fellow immedi-
ately piped up in 8 plbtive strain:
"Theyll not come whsnethe rain is falling,
Falling, falling, falling, falling;
They're at Deacon Potter's calling,
Cilling, calling, calling, calling.
While still singing he seated himself
at the table, and motioned me to draw
up opposite him. After pouring the
tea as handily as woman, he turned to
me and sang in still different tune:
\ "Mill you please, sir, ask blessing,
On the bread and meat aud pudding,
On the bread and meat and pudding,
Will you please, sir, ask blessing?"
Much surprised, and ashamed that I
had not anticipated the request, said
grace, and. much reassured by the little
incident, made hearty supper.
After my strange companion had done
up the chores, and made everything
snug for the night, he sat down in the
CORNER of the fire. place aud looked at me
steadily. His fixed regard made me
nervous again, and I said somewhat
impatiently:
"Why are you so obstinate as to an
swer me in this saucy, sing song way
whenever I speak to your"
The tears rushed quickly to the
youths eyes; he essayed to speak, but,
although he made the most frantic ef-
fort, he could not utter o word.
Soon he recovered himself, to my
great relief, for thought he was going
into fit, and to my astonishment, sang
moro musically than ever:
"Don't you see, sir, how stutter2
lean neither talk nor mutter;
So God lets me sing my say.
And thank him every day.
never felt so chagrined in my life
as when I found out the truth in re-
gard to the poor fellow. It WAS good
lesson to nae. I have never formed
hasty judgment since.
Singing Joseph" he was called,
and I conversed with him until late
hour. I found him very intelligent,
although his ideas, always without
moments hesitation on his part, set
themselves to music, some of the strains
the sweetest and most pleasant I ever
heard.

Japanese paper air cushions are impor-
ted, which have some advantages over
those made of rubber. They may be
rolled into packages of smaller dimen-
sions when not in use; they will not
stick together as rubber does after it is
wet, and for pillows they are better
because they have no odor. Their
strength is marvellous; a man weighing
100 pounds may stand upon one without
danger Of bursting it. They are said
to be waterproof, and to make excel
lent life-p.eservers.
