LYMAN BEECHER'S ABSENT
MINDNESS.

DIR. Beecher was frequently alb
sent-minded. On one occasion, aft
er an evenings service, he started
for home in brown study. The
houses in his block were of the same
pattern. He entered the wrong
door. The house which he mistook
for his own was occupied by a well
known halter by the name of
Rhoades, Unitarian. The doctor
put his hat on the stand in the hall,
went into the back parlor, where
Mrs. Rhoades and her family were
gathered, drew a chair to the fire,
put his feet to warm on the mantle
over the CRATE, tipped back his chair
and his head-simply thinking. Just
then he happened to notice French
clock under the glass upon the man.
tie, and exclaimed: "Wife, where
in the world did you get that clock"
No answer. No one could answer,
for they were ready to burst with
merriment at their neighbor's absence
of mind. II say, wife, where did
you get that clock? ?" Mrs. Rhoades
was lady. Putting her hand gen
tly on his shoulder, in the sweetest
tone she said: s'Dr. Beecher, you
have got into the wrong house"
He cast quick glance around upon
the family circle, sprang from his
chair, and with bound was out of
the house, without a word Of expla-
nation or excuse Church Union.

A GHOULISH INCIDENT.

The ghoulish matter just unearthed
at Philadelphia recalls to the minds of
many incidents that even here, in the
immature days of medical science
were legally as capable, though per-
haps more justiiable, because the alb
sence of subjects were a retardation
of the young ''sawbones'' on the
road to matriculation and a diploma.
''Now other arrangements" are de-
pended upon, and all suspicion of the
practice has long ago ceased. All
your old Boston readers will remem-
ber Tom Waits, at the Province
House, where, as younglings, they
gathered Saturday evenings and
drank Waits punch and told stories.
Perhaps some of them remember the
story told there, for truth, some fifty
years ago, of two young students
who, as impecunious as Bob Sawyer
and Ben Allen, undertook to supply
themselves with subject. On
dark and intensely cold night they
started, with horse and wagon to
put their scheme in practice. They
knew just where to go, having, per-
haps, been there before, and made
quick work of it, starting to return,
when one of them proposed going
into wayside inn to procure some
thing hot. They accordingly drove
their wagon under shed, sat their
subject in the wagon as near living
attitude as they could, and went in.
AS soon as they were out of sight a
hostler, who had not been visible,
came along, and, seeing the figure,
addressed it. Getting no answer he
touched it and found out what it was.
Insensible to fear, he took the OBJ
ject out and assumed its place. The
young men came out and started,
feeling very merry. The one who
was not driving, and who sat next
the supposed subject, jocularly struck
him, saying, "Wasn't that Tom and
Jerry primer" "Bully!" came the
response, and the two were over the
side in an instant, ON their way across
the fields, while the subject drove
back to tell the story.-Bostoa Letter
! an Hartford Post.

HOW A MAN SEWS ON A
BUTTON.

Did you ever see man in the SOL
itude and privacy of his study attempt
to sew button on by himself! 1t
is in all its details one of the most
interesting performances in the world.
First he hunts for button. Gener-
ally to secure it he robs Peter to pay
Paul, and cuts one from another
garment. This may be much larger
or much smaller than the size he is
wearing. Next, he hunts needle.
Probably he goes out and buys pa
per of needles. He always chooses
the largest needles, having an inn
preston that large needles will sew
stronger than small needles. As to
thread, he gets the coarsest he can
find, and this he doubles. He would
thread his needle. He takes his big
needle in one hand and his coarse
black thread in the other, He bites
off the thread to the desired length.
Then he tries to twist it to a fine
point. Generally in this he succeeds
in making two and sometimes three
fine points out of one end. Of course
he can't get all these points through
the needles eye at once. He tries
hard to make that needle and thread
get on friendly terms with each other,
but they won't. They dou't want to
get acquainted. They do not wish
to have anything to do with each
other. Sometimes it is the needle
that kicks; sometimes the thread.
Sometimes he really imagines he has
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1883-01-22
threaded his needle. 1t is an ocular
delusion. The thread has missed

threaded his needle. 1t is an ocular
delusion. The thread has missed
the needles eye by half an inch. 1t
Is harder work than saving wood.
At last the needle is threaded.
Now he tries to sew the button on
without taking his trousers off, This
proves failure. He twists himself
into an uncomfortable position, and
so would sew. But he can't sew so.
He runs the needle into himself. And
the contrary thread always insists on
fouling or doubling round the next
button. Then one part of the doub-
led thread won't work harmoniously
with the other part. One part draws
through the buttons eye first and
leaves the other part behind. Then
it gets hitched up and the ambassador
swears. Or the needle breaks. And
then he swears. He may not swear
audibly, but the recording angel
knows what is going on inside of him,
and debts him with every item. He
sews hard. He has forgotten all
about the necessity for thimble.
He jams his thumb down on the nee-
dies head and it punctures his thumb
or runs under the nail. By and by
he sews the buttons eye full of thread.
His big needle don't pass through
any more. He must stop. He ends
by winding the thread as many times
as it will 60 under the button. And
perhaps he leaves off with two or
three inches of thread sticking out
side. A woman can, through many
outward Indications, tell when a man
has been trying to sew on button.
He doesn't know the shibboleth of
needle and thread, and it catches
somewhere every time. At last the
button is scwed on and he is proud
of his work.-NeU York Graphic.

THE SLANDERER.

Slander is defined to be "a false
report, maliciously put in circulation
to injure another's good name"
Good people may think it not possi-
BILE for any one to degenerate enough
to be guilty of such crime, but
there are such no doubt. Those
living to three score and ten proba-
bly, know, from observation, that
those living in trespasses and sin for
many years and striving against the
good spirit, and that finally their
consciences become scared and God
will give them over to hardness of
heart and reprobacy of mind; send
ing them strong deluslons that they
may believe lie. Thus prepared to
serve the devil, they look about for
vocation in which they may embark.
1t becomes evident to them that there
is no sphere in life in which they can
create more misery with less means,
than engage in a work of SANDER.
Their venomous tongue slowly and
gradually poisons the mind of civil
community, prejudices the opinion of
neighbors against an innocent one
without a single cause save the
promptings of a degraded mind.
while enjoying the free use of scan
dalous tongue which they claim to be
theirs and boldly will use it as they
please. They pry into the private
affairs of families in neighborhood
know the exact feelings and opinions
of neighbors. They understand all
the rules of good breeding and are
constantly instructing some one of
the many obligations due each other,
and to those they chance to meet;
but at the same time claim to be
sincere friend of those they seek to
ruin by suspicious mods and winks.
If grown people will not give heed to
their tales, they will, if possible,
| place them in the ears of children.
They will stealthily walk into your
private residence without giving no.

Many people are Jealous Christians
yet they are often guilty of this very
thing, Lord who shall abide in thy
taberancle? Who shall dwell III thy
holy hill? He that walketh upright

speaketh the truth in his heart. He
that back biteth not with his tongue,
nor doeth evil to his neighbor, nor
taketh up reproach against his

THE COUNTERSIGN

Twas near the break of day. but still,
The moon was shining brightly;
The west wind as it passed the flowers
Set each one swaying tightly.
The sentry slow passed to and fro,
A faithful night watch keeping.
While in his tents behind him stretched
His comrades all were sleeping.
Slow two and fro the sentry paced,
His musket on his shoulder,
But not thought of death or war
Was with this brave young soldier;
All, mol his heart was far away
Where, on western prairie,
A rose-twined cottage stood. That night
The countersign was MARY"
And there his own true love he saw,
Her blue eyes kindly beaming;
Above them. on her sun-kissed brow,
Her curls like sunshine cleaning.
And heard her singing, as she churned
Her butter In the dairy,
The song she loved the best. That night
The countersign was "Mary."
'Ohi for one kiss from her!" he sighed,
When up the lone road glancing,
He spied slender little form,
With faltering steps advancing,
And as it neared him, silently
He gazed at 1t in wonder;
Then dropped his musket in his hand.
And challenged, "Who goes youder p
Still on it came. Not one step more.
Be you man or child, or fairy,
Unless you give the countersign.

A sweet voice cried and in his arms

HOW THE ROSE CAME.

In the green pastures sporting,
A lamb, in needless glee,
Tore from thorny twig
Its fresh green drapery.
The twig. its sharp fingers,
Snatched from the tender eve,
A little tuft of fleece,
To clothe itself anew.
A nightingale came seeking
Soft things to line her nest,
And thought this snowy fleece
Was prettiest and best.
"Oh give me the fleece,
To line my nest" said she;
"And when I've finished it,
I'll sing my thanks to thee"
1t gave; the nest was finished;
And as the sweet bird sang,
Out of the bush for joy
The lovely rosebud sprang.
