A STORY is told of an old-fash-
Toned farmer who had an old axe
and saw stolen from his shed. At
first he was disconsolate, as he had
the tools in use nea rly fifteen years,
but necessity obliged him to pur-
chase new ones in their place. He
was so much surprised at the ease
with which the new tools worked
that, of his own accord, with no
agent urging, he went to the hard
ware store and purchased a new kit
of all tools that he wanted and
threw the Others away. He had
lost more value in time working
with poor tools than would buy
new ones twice over.

There is but little of interest to
say of our market for December.
Receipts and sales were small, and
the offerings as rule embraced
only low and common grades, the
condition of which was unusually
good for this season of the year.
The latter part OF the month show
ed some falling off in prices, except
that very common Tugs at our last
sale, on the 23d of the month, were
a fraction higher than the week
before. For the past several days
the weather has been remarkably
warm for this time OF year, with
frequent and copious showers,
making the only good handling
season we have yet had therefore,
as the planters generally seem in
clined to market their crops early, /
shall expect soon to see receipts and
sales increase rapidly.

bold, original speaker, with II play

points stand out with brilliancy
that genius can only impart. 1t
was none of your orthodox, stereO-
typed rhetoric, clothing mouldy
sentimentalism, and turning off
every sermon like chair rounds,
alike. 1t was not batch of illus
tratiOns, failing the kite of worn
out and self-evident maxim. The
inimitable touches that lit up the
mountains background OF rich new
thought, displayed the skill of II
master genus. We are not excited
when we say that if DIR. West
ranges anywhere up to this in his
common ministratiOns, we haven't
his equal in the HOIston conference,
and if the "old Jersualem" can pro-
duce one, we have yet to hear him.

A Rural Dissipation.
Boston Record.


Speaking of wet-weather vacations, there is
one sport that is practiced in the back sheds of
Vermont that the city visitor always appreciates
for while. A hole is bored with pin
through kernel of corn. Then the corn is
threaded upon horsehair and tied there; at one
end of the hair there is tied about foot and
half of cotton string and at the end of that half
a newspaper. Then the kernel of corn is thrown
down with others for the chickens to pick up. A
sedate old Brahma eats the kernel with the
horsehair, and about half dozen other kernels
to make it good and fast Then she
discovers that something is hanging to her.
whereupon she fops gracefully sidewise about
six feet. The newspaper Aops after her. Then
she lops ten feet the other way. The villain
still pursues her. She leaps several most un-
Brahminical leaps into the air, soaring the other
chickens almost TO death. and runs off wildly in
a straight line. 1t would make a horse laugh,
much more city visitor to see the gyrations
she goes through before that horrible kernel is
finally dslodged, and is ready to be eaten again
by the other hens, or the same one, if she can
get at it before any of her sisters can grab it.
1t isn't an intellectual amusement, and prob
ably the Angel of the Humane Society wouldn't
altogether approve of it; but it isn't as cruel as
fox-hunting, and is rather more exciting.

A Thankful Heart.

BY L. M. p, in New York Advocate.
In one of the side streets of Brooklyn can be
seen little house standing back from the street,
in which there lives child with her mother.
the little girl lies on the bed cripple in every
sense of the word. Suffering is no stranger to
her, for she has known its pangs from babyhood-
And yet it is an inspiration to go into that plain
home. A lady one day said to this little girl,
for whom she felt the deepest sympathy:
my darling, shall be thankful when God re-
leases you from this terrible suffering"
90" and the little face frightened, II am so
thankful for this life it is so beautiful, and God
is so good to me, to let me see some of this
beautiful world"
The poor child had seen only glimpses Of it
from her window, but she had thankful heart.
A sweet little girl was invited to take lunch
with FRIEND she had always been used to hear
ing blessing asked before commencing to eat,
but as she waited quietly the gay talking did not
cease, and the waitress commenced to pass the
cold chicken; she watched each one help them
selves, and saw no heads bowed in thankfulness.
Finally it came to her. and she looked at the dish
and saw wing the part to which she was par

taking any, bowed her little head, and said in
low voice: ethan you, Jesus, for my wing, any

Mr.. Shaftner's Silent Church.

Baltimore sun.
A correspondent, writing from Flint Hill, Rap
pahannock county, Virginia says One of the
finest and largest church edihces ever erected in
Virginia may be seen at Sandy Hook, about four
miles from here 1t was built by John Shaftner
a few years ago. Shaftner was a poor boy of
this neighborhood who thirty-fve years ago,
made his way to New York City and there
accumulated large fortune. About ten years
ago he came back to Sandy Hook and placed
1000 in the hands of friend for the erection
of a Gothic temple in honor of his mother
The church is an immense building of pressed
brick and brown stone, with a tower over 100
feet high. The windows, twenty in number,
were glazed with the finest stained glass, the
doors, window frames and pews were of the
most expensive woods. and the choir contained
fine organ. The church was dedicated with
imposing ceremonies.
The agent of Shaftner completed the church
with large debt remaining it. An appeal
was made to Shaftner. but change in his cir
cumstances prevented his responding to it. The
contractors land others seized the stained glass
windows, the doors, pews, organ, etc, and left
the church mere shell, since which time it has
been unoccupied. At the side of the road ap-
preaching the church for over mile are rows of
the choicest shade trees, bought by Mr.. Shaftner
and planted here.
