Tie First Fruits.

A beautiful and significant instance of
translating the Bible into present applica-
ton and action, was lhe osse of Il little girl
who had read the old Jewish law about Civ
ing first fruits to God. She had 4 strawber-
ry bed in her garden, and when the first ber-
rios were ripe her sister said: go, that's 50
nice! Now, you will have these sweet red
berries to eatp
But the other answered: 90 no. don't
cat the frst fruits; shall giye;hem to God"
Her sister asked, How can YOU give them
to God?"
And she answered There is poor Old
Mrs. Gray, who is so sick and poor and ne
yer has anything nice; l shall carry them
to Ler, for Jesus hss said; Inasmuch as ye
haye done It unto enc Of the least Of these,
We have done it unto me That is the way
shall give the fret fruits TO God"

Judge Hoge's Declinatiom.

A Washington correspondent Of the
Wheeling Register refers as follows to the
declination Of Judge Hogo to serve on the
Committee of Accounts to which he was ap-
pointed by the Speaker.
Judge Hoges declina;ion grows out OF
what hc humorously terms hls inability to
comprehend the duties of the position. Ihe
Chairman Of the Committee, trncr Of Ma
ry!and is apparently new to the rights and
privileges of member of Congress, and
when. some time since, the Committee on
WAYS and Means made rcquisition on the
Stationery Clerk Tor fourteen Crascrs and
the Clerk erased that par; Of the order, he
apparently did not know what to do about
il. 1t seemed to him that a committee so
august as that of Ways and Means should

COIIPENSATION.

It was in the time of autumn,
When leaves are turning brown
Green 10 yellow and pied and black;
And some were tum5ling down.
i was the time ofautumn,
When fruits are gathered in,
S mc for the press, some for the vat
And some for the miller's bin.
Then poor mon fell playing,
For that their work was o'eri
And rich men fell a sighing,
That they could play no more.
For the summer tincis merry time,
ia man have leisure To play;
But the summer tilce is q weary time,
To him WHO must work all day.
Then thanks to God the Giver,
Who loves both great and small;
To every one he something gives,
But TO no man gives all.
The rich who ,aicth for himself
Finds after pleasure pain;
But the toiicr whom God carcth for
Rests, and IS glad aglin.
