sunday morning his father was surprised
when, in reply to Are you ready, john the

the deacon again asked his son to 20 to the
First Methodist but John replied that he had
already made arrangements to attend the Sec

and John, with three companions, who had
been i'm waiting, went to the cellar, where they
had been all along secretly indulging in the

PeppercOrn Rental.

In medieval timer feudal lords often
found it necessary or ~eXpedient to part
with portions Of their estates so far as
all receipt Of rent was concerned, but
to reserve to themSelve the many
other advantages pertaining to the
~vassalage Of the people living upon
them. The simplest way of accom-
plishing this was to grant a perpetual
lease of the land at a mere nominal
rent. Sometimes the nominal rent
would itself be of a kind likely to i'm
press itself upon the attention Of all
parties concerned-as, for instance, in
the case of the now familiar pepper
corn rental. When that was first
adopted peppercorns were curiosities

contrary there is now, in Yorkshire a
farm held s long as the tenant can or

The Nation OF Almanac Makers.

In France there are publishing firms
that have=no time to turn out anything
bat almanacs, and this season there are
more than ever, The almanac for moth
ers is one that mothers could not be ex-
pccted to do without, and the almanac
for daughters is presumably not to 20
into the hands of mothers. There are
comic almanAcs and serious almanacs,
Though not so many serious ones, and
a popular almanac counts its sale by mil
lions. Perhaps this is one of the things
they do better in France than in Eng
land. The almanac for boot and shoe
makers is quite as readable as our trade
Journals; 1t IS often more digcstible
thar our banquets, and now and then is
almost as useful as our literary or scien-
tfic congresses. An English Wit said
that if there was another flood there

would contrlve t. meet somewhere and
celebrate it in a dinner. The French
would issue an almanac.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

It is in men as in soils, where some
times there is a vein Of gold which
the owner knows not OF.
That which seemeth most casua.
and subject to fortune is yet disposed
by the ordinance of God.
What is berth to a man if it shall
be a stain to his dead ancestors tc
have left such an offspring?
A good worlds an easy Obligation;
but not to speak i'll requires only our
silence, which costs us nothing.
The proper way to check SANDER is
to despise it; attempt to overtake and
refute it and it will outrun you.
There is a due respect 70 mankind
which should incline even the wisest
Of men to follow innocent customs.
Recollect what disorder hasty or
imperious words from parents or
teachers have caused in a childs
thoughts.
BE pleasant and kind to those
around you. The man who sths his
cup with an icicle spolls the tea and
chills his own fingers.
1t is good for US to think no grace
or blessing is truly ours till we are
aware that God has blessed some one
else with it through US.
Complaisance renders a superior
