PADDY's PIG.-As a shadow to all these
sunny southern lights, I must here mention
that did meet with few extraordinarily
mean men in Sydney. There was one, mer.
chant prince, who made it boast that he had
never given away shilling in his life. So
far as know, he only departed from his ex-
treme sel6shness on one occasion, and the cir
cumstances are worth relating. One morning
a poor Irishman stepped into his counting
house, and looking the very picture of misery,
said: "Oh! may it plase yer honor, I've lost
a pig-the only pig had-and misthress -,
the governess, has given me pound, and sent
me to you for another. She says you have
enough gold to build sty wild, and will be
sure to give me little" At first old hard
fist refused; upon which Paddy threw him
self on stool, and raised such pteous wall
that the merchant, thinking hs was mad
about the death of his pig, gave him the
pound to get rid of him. Next day the pro-
prietor of the defunct porker was passing the
warehouse, and seeing his benefactor at the
door, pulled his hat to him. "Well, did you
get drunk with that pound, or buy another
pig?" asked the rich man grufly. Bought
pig, yer honor-a darling little thing wild a
sweet twist in his tail, like lady's cur"
"Well, it's to be hoped you'll take better
care of him than you did Of the other. What
did he die Off" Die Of? Did you say die of
now? Why get out wild ye, he was so fat l
killed him."-Lits in Australia--By Frank
Fowler.
A SISTER IN TIGHT PLAcE--At n,
one Saturday evening, fatigued by his long
journey, WAGNER, with his son John, drove
his team into good range, and determined to
pass the Sabbath, enjoying season of wor-
ship with the good folks of the village.
When the time for worship arrived, John
was set to watch the team, while the WAGNER
went in with the crowd. The preacher had
hardly announced his subject before the old
man fell sound asleep. He sat against the
partition in the centre of the body slip. Just
over against him, separated only by the low
partition, sat a heshy lady, who seemed all
absorbed in the sermon. She struggled hard
with her feelings, until, unable to control them
any longer, she burst out with loud scream,
and shouted at the Cop of her voice, rousing
the old man, who, but half awake, thrust his
arms around her waist and cried, very sooth.
ingly:
"Wo, Nance wo, Nance, wo. Here, John,
calling to his son, "cut the belly-band, and
loose the breeching, quick, or she'll tear eve
rything all to pieces !"
1t was all the work of moment, but the
sister forgot to shout, the preacher lost the
thread of his discourse, and the meeting came
prematurely to an end while, deeply morti.
fed, the old man skulked away, determined
not to 60 to meeting again until he could man.

servation of it (chastity) in ourselves and
others, watchfulness over the eyes and all
the senses; temperance, keeping of chaste
company, modesty in apparel" God, in his
word, requires US, in our association with our
fellow.creatures, to be men-not brutes.
The sins forbidden in the Seventh Com.
mandment are-"besides the neglect of the
duties required-adultery, fornication, rape,
incest, sodomy, and all unnatural lusts; all
unclean imaginations, thoughts, purposes and
affections all corrupt or filthy communica-

prudent or light behavior, immodest apparel !;
prohibiting of lawful and dispensing with un-
lawful marriages; allowing, tolerating, keep
ing of stews and resorting to them entangling
vows of single life, undue delay of marriage,
having more wives or husbands than one a.
the same time; unjust divorce or desertion /;
idleness, gluttony, drunkenness, unchaste COM
pany; lascivious songs, plays, books, pictures,
dancings stage.plays, and all other provoca-
tions to or acts of uncleanness, either in our
selves or Others" The language in the above
quotation may not be as smooth as some mod

BY the word of God, and it is in perfect har.
mony with the principles Of a we'll regulated

DEAR FRlENDs-Not SO many years ago, when
was young and charming and the highways
of the Capital City were in state Of adheav,
isness, one day about midnight, there appeared
to me welldefned aprarition: Sad sub
stance being enclosed in homogeneous night
mare. As well as can remember, this gh0stly
glare presented itself in the shape OF streamers
OF golden letters floating about in space, with
the bright blue sky as background. Now and
then lightning flashes would dart in between
these Ango-Saxon representatives and would
seemingly sweep them out OF sight--onlv to
leave more distinct and more fascinating
than ever these two words WttIng's
Wares! also romember seeing an excited
populace--say a cool hundred th0r,sand-wit1
uplifted s-bewilderef at this heavenly dis.
play and eagerly debating its influence on those
most concerned Need Itell you of The iiresi5ie
discussion 1t brought into play -innotently and
Indirect! Said one: "At Wrr1INGs arc new
arrivals. Thoy have the best Mince Meat
Cranberres and Now Flour, fresh supplies OF
each" "Oh, that's nothing" replies another
Il can testify that they have the best Five
Cent Cigars in the city, And the walls seemed
to echo--"Buy WRITINGS Wares" And also
remember that the ne wspapers. Of that period
seemed to vie with each other In setting forth
| the merits OF WRITINGS Wares.
