A Miser Brought to Terms.

DOBERT CARRACI<, of the renown-
IN ed Glasgow Ship Bank Company,
was one of the greatest scrubs in money
matters that Glasgow ever knew. He
died about fifty years ago worth nearly
a million sterling, leaving no family of
hissown, and not farthing to any one
of the charitable institutions of his CITY,
His housekeeper, an elderly dame, Miss
Painsley, was his favorite niece. They
lived in q dark, dingy building and,
while Robert Carrack was famed for his
great banking negotiations in the flat
below, Miss Painsley was notorious for
the most miserly management in the
flat above. She would haggle with the
shopkeepers in the neighborhood about
the price of pound of cheese, and if
Robin" as he was called, had dinner
party (of rare occurrence), she would be
seen hurrying from the meat market in
King street with sleeps head and a
string of founders, and she invariably
stipulated with the green grocers in the
Candleriggs that if any apples or pears
should be left over after the dessert at
Robins table they should be taken back
on the following morning and full value
allowed for them.
No wonder Robin amassed riches by
this way of livingl On one occasion he
was waited on by deputation of three
citizens for a subscription to some public
charity or other, then of pressing import
ance. They expected that he being Q
banker, and well knowing the urgent
circumstances, would head the list with
a handsome snm. To their modification
he would only give twa guineas."
When they pressed him little he re-
piled she could not afford to give them
any more," and bowed them out of the
room. Not far from the bank was the
warehouse of John M'Ilquham, then
doing good business in Glasgow. When
the deputation waited on him, he glanc-
ed over the list of subscribers, but unused
and remarked on the trifing amount
given by Banker Carrick. The gentle
men told him the reason they had got
SO little, viz. "That he could not af
ford to give any more"
"What is that you say ?" exclaimed
old M'Ilquham, rising from his seat
with bristling indignation.
They repeated the answer truly.

HIs First ExperIcnce vim a Stove.

A SHORT time ago an English emf
IA grant family arrived at Chatham,
Ontario, and being destitute of every
thing, few kind hearted people gave
them sundry articles to help them to go
to housekeeping,and among other things
a stove. The donor forgot however, to
send along the necessary pipe. The
day being very cold, the first thing the
father of the wandering flock turned
his attention to was the making Of the
fire. With grateful eyes he surveyed
the stove (the first he had ever seem
and then glancing ct the stove pipe hole
in the chimney, which was about two
feet from the ceiling, wondering how the
smoke could get up and out that small
hole. His eyes rested on some hooks in
the ceiling, which former tenant used
for drying apples thsreon, and he natur-
ally came to the conclusion that they
were intended to hang the stove upon
There was no time to be lost, and so
with the aid of chairs and a table, and q
good deal of exertion, the able bodied
man lifted the stove up so that the
stovepipe hole, which happened to be at
the side of the stove, rested nicely in the
hole in the chimney, while his better
half lashed it to the afore mentioned
hooks with rope which came around
their scanty luggage. After everything
was secure the patient housewife hasten
ed to prepare some wood wherewith to
make fire, while the prespiring father
was designing in his perplexed mind
some kind of scaffold whereon his
wife could st and to cook the frugal meal
But his ideas were overthrown by the
sudden appearance of the donor of the
stove, bearing the forgotten pipe, An ex-
planation was in order, and after hearty
laugh the bewildered Englishman was
thoroughly initiated in the mysteries of
the American way of putting up stoves.

ETAt Cape of Good Hope, near Table
Mountain, the clouds come down very
low now and then without dropping any
rain. AT such time, if traveller
should go under tree for shelter from
the threatening storm, he will find him.
self in drenching shower; while out in
the open, away from any tree or shrub,
everything would be as dry as bone.
The explanation of the phenomenon is,
that the cloud or mist is rather warmer
than the leaves and SO, when it touches
them it is changed into clinging drops,
which look like dew. Fresh drops keep
forming, which run together, and at
length the water drips off the leaves like
rain. And this process is continued
until the clouds lift, and the sun comes
out again.

must look at them if you would know
the time. Some men do not talk their

a man need not be inconsistent because

The Lords Prayer.

The Lords Prayer is short, mysteri-
Gus, and like treasures of the spirit, full
of wisdom and latent senses; it is not
improper to draw forth these excellencies
which are intended and signified by
every petition, that by SO excellent
authority we may know what it is law
full to beg of God-Jereny Taylor.
A maiden knelt in the twilight hour
and, clasping her hands, ,ferventIy breath
ed forth, "Our Father who art in heav-
en-, hallowed be thy name"
A mother, in deep agony of grief,
gazed on her child, sleeping her long,
last sleep, smile wreathing her soft
lips, and white hands folded across that
still and pulseless heart, and kneeling
there, the living beside the dead, she
prays: Thy will be done"
AS the early beams of the orient gild
the sleeping land, widow with her
suffering little ones, called by poverty
and woe, bows at the Throne of Grace,
and fervently prays: Give us this day
our daily bread"
An aged father, as his loved and low
ing boy goes forth from the paternal
care to brave the cold frowns of life,
kneels beside him on the eve of his
departure, and pleads: g Lead him not
into temptation, but deliver him from
evil, for thine is the kingdom, the power
and the glory, forever and ever. Amen"

vailing sentiment that if the appropriation bill
is passed first much difficulty will be experienced
in passing an apportionment bill. There was
