No More of It.

'1 am 5S years old, and this is the first time ever made fool of myself l"
 So spoke Farmer John Dayton, as he stood before the bar of justice, and his look and manner went to prove that he meant what he said.
 Seems rather strange that an intelli- gent man of your age should get in this fix" replied the court.
 "It does, and no mistake, and can't account for it had finished my trad ing and was ready to go home, when a chap wanted to sell me dog. In the course of half an hour I drank two glasses of beer, and the last remember I felt awful good and was stepping high and waving my hat.

Notes from Beecher's Sunday Sermon.

Mir. Beecher's text on Sunday was Exodus, xxxiv., 6, '. Below are given some passages taken here and there
 "When I read in some of the books of the Old Testament that God spake to His servant face to face, and then see what He said, don't believe word of it. |"
 "When you consider what the true mission of pain and penalty is in this world; that it is not revenge; that it is medicine; that it is direction; that it is education; that it is an influence that keeps men from things bad and incites them to things good; when we consider that this is the mission of pain and penalty, it is subject of as much grati- tude as tho direct mercy of God him. self"
 ''The laws of God are Gods roads for peoples thoughts to walk on and for their feet to tread, and the declaration that He will enforce those laws, and so seek the welfare of men here and here after, is a declaration that should be ranked as Gods benevolence.
 "Meanness is the very bottom and dripping of sin"
 "Society, and largely public senti- ment, is inidel, is atheistic-not on purpose, but through weakness. So- ciety stands in the way of the return from evil by public sentiment, andwhen you hear the utterances of men about criminals, or about the downfall of any man, their language is full of butchery, scorn, contempt, suspicion. Men won't touch him-no, not with a ten foot pole."

The Cork Duck.

A pleasant trick to look at was one given us by au Egyptian iuggler. He took a cocoanut shell with one end cut of, and filled 1t with water. In the wa ter he placed little piece of cork, hay ing a bent pin on one side, and two straight pins on the other side, so that the cork as it foated roughly resembled a lilhputian duck. The cork lay dead in the water, and it was difficult to think what magic could possibly be got out of it. Presently the iuggler, sitting about two yards of, took out a musical instrument and began to play lively tune. Instantly the imitation duck commenced to dance violently in the water, suiting its motions to the music. The dancing continued till the tune was ended; then the iuggler ordered the duck to salaam, and he was at once obeyed. He even requested the buoy ant cork to dive to the bottom of the wa- ter, and his request was immediately complied with. While the performance was going on the cocoanut shell was standing almost at our feet, and the per former was not only sitting beyond reach, but both his hands were employed playing the instrument.

GIVING AWAY THE BABY.
Touching Little story Told by M. Quad.

A Touching Little story Told by M. Quad.
 Some weeks ago family consisting of husband, wife and baby about 3 years old, reached Detroit from some Eastern point in a destitute condition, and finally got 8 room in house on Catharine street with a citizen whose sympathies had been aroused. For a time both parents were ill, and the man had scarcely recovered when the wife died. Unable to work, and equally un- able to care for the child, he permitted a woman living near by to take it home. A day or two ago, having vainly searched for work in Detroit, the man decided to go farther west. Three or four different families offered to take the baby and adopt it, and he was forced to realize that he must part with it Poor, desti- ute, friendless, and with only money enough to take him to Chicago, what could he do2 When the time came to make a decision there was a crowd of women appealing to him and promising to be mother to the little waif. He took the child in his arms and wept for it, and said in a broken voice:
 "Poor Billyl I'm putting you away forever !"
 The child clung fast to his neck with one arm, and with the free hand wiped away his tears and said:
 "Pa's crying-pa's crying Is pa sick ?"
 The man pressed the boy to his heart, kissed him again and again, and to the woman who was to take him he said:
 "It's tearing my heart out, but it must be donel He'll grow up to forget his dead mother and me, and never to hear our names spoken; but I've got to let him go. One more kiss, Billy"
 "Papa doin' away?"
 "Yes good bye"
 "Dood bye. Hurry home"
 The women sobbed and the men shed tears, and all of sudden the father rushed from the house and hurried from the neighborhood without one glance behind him, doubtless fearing that if he tarried a moment longer his love would prove stronger than his pledge.
