THE STRANGER.

An aged man came late to Abraham's tent.
The sky was dark and all the pain was bare.
He asked for bread his strength was welnigh spent
His haggard look implored the tenderest care.
The food was brought. He sat with thankful eyes,
But spake no grace, nor bowed he toward the east.
Safe-sheltered here from dark and angry skies,
The bOunteous table seemed royal feast
But ere his hand touched the tempting fare,
The Patriarch rose. and leaning on his rod,
stranger, he said, 'dost thou not bow in prayer
DOst thou not fear, dost thou not worship God?"
He answer ed, may" The Patriarch sadly said:
Thou hast my pity. Col eat not my bread"
Another came that wild fearful and night
The fierce winds ragged, and darker grew the SKY;
But all the tent was filled with wondrous light,
And Abraham knew the Lord his God was nigh.
Where is that aged mangn the Presence said,
''That asked for shelter from the driving blast?
Who made thee master Of thy Masters bread9
What right hadst thou the wanderer forth to cast!'
Forgive me, Lord, the Patriarch answer made,
With downcast look, with bowed and trembling
knee. !
All mel the stranger might with me have staid,
But, o my God, he would not worship Thee
I've borne him long " God said, ''and still wait:
COuldst thou not lodge him one nightin thy gate!"

The miserable custom that mauy
teamsters have of sending their teams
on alone, while they stop for a little
business or a social chat with some
friend, ought to be made punishable
by fine. The unfortunate individual
who meets one of these teams, is
obliged to give the whole road, no mat
ter what the time or circumstance, al
though for that matter the mules
manners are often quite as good as are
those of their masters. If anybody
enjoys having a pair of mules with
their heavy wagon meander around
his front yard treading down flower
beds, breaking down choice plants and
sending his wife's flower pots. and
her temper all to flinders, he is well
come to the pleasure; but as for us, if
