PREACHER AND LANDLORD. The Lew
iston (Me) Journal tells this story
When the Rev. DR.. Tappan was the
agent of the American Home Mission
Society he once made trip through
the northeastern part of Maine on
horseback. On arriving at Mattawam-
keag, where he was pleasantly enter
tanned, he was told he had better re-
main over night there, as the place
which he intended to make his next
station was rather rough and uncom-
Portable, and the landlord was a rude,
blasphemous man who might not use
him well. But DR.. Tappan was anx-
ious to carry out his itinerary as he
had planned it, and journeyed on. He
arrived at his destination at dusk.
The landlord came out, greeted him
cordially, took his horse and put him
up, hastened in to help entertain his
reverend guest, prepared nice warm
supper for him, and was as polite as
hghtning-rod agent.
just before DIR. Tappan retired the
landlord and all his family, arranged
in procession according to their ages,
filed into the room with much de-
corum, and the doctor was asked to
lead them in family worship, which he
cheerfully did
The next morning, after the doctor
had dressed, the host, his wife,
his boys, and his girls, all neatly
attired, came in again and the same
request was made and granted.
After a good breakfast the doctors
nag was brought to the door, saddled
and bridled, and the good man pre-
paired to go his way. He asked for
his bill.
''Not cent" said the landlord,
cheerily.
The doctor thought this reply was
strange from landlord preceden by
such an ill-reputation, and said, ''Whyl
1 must pay you for my entertain
ment"
"You don't owe me cent" said
the innkeeper. 1.-THE fact is that tin
peddlers, butchers, drovers, fishmen,
and all classes Of people come here to
stop with me, and make it point to
take my pay in their own line when
ever can. I've done the same by you.
You have paid. Good morning, sir !"
The good old divine used to tell
this anecdote himself with great
relish.

IT Is WELL TO REMEMBER

That every path hath puddle.
That the fruit of success ripen
slowly.
That he is richest who wants the
least.
That million dollars will not buy
ray of sunshine.
That the greatest faults is to be
conscious of none.
That the brightest thoughts some
times come from the dullest looking
men.
That Methuselah, even, never COM
planned of time hanging heavy ON his
hands.
That all of the good things of this
world are of no further good than MS
they are of no use.
That newspaper may be sewer,
or stream of pure, water according
to its source.
That what man gets for nothing
he is very apt to value at Just about
what it costs him.
That we often unlock the door of
fate with our own hands, and then
throw the key away.
That compliments and congratula-
lations cost nothing but pens, ink and
paper or-words.
That the easiest way to outwit the
world is to let it believe that it is
smarter than you are.
That there can be no greater mis-
take than the stopping to worry over
mistake already made.
That with contentment the lowest
hovel is more of a place than the loft
lest mansion without it.
That while few are qualified to
shine in company, it is the power of
most people to be agreeable.

How TO Cook PoTAToEs. pota-
toes should never be pared before
cooking. The most nutritious portion
of the potato lies Immediately under
the skin and this is generally all pared
away. A small slice should first be
cut from each end, this lets the water
out, and the potatoes are then put
into cold water and allowed to heat
slowly. They should boil as slowly as
possible until done. Never throw
away cold potato, but cut it in thin
slices and lay it in bowl, with few
slices of unions, little pepper, salt
and vinegar, teaspoonful of oil, and
you have relishing salad for lunch.
The best way to cook sweet potatoes
is to chip off piece of each end and
roast in the oven. They should never
be boiled; they are very nice stewed.
If any are left over, they make nice
breakfast dish if sliced lengthwise
and fried ON the griddle, each piece
] by itself

Crock Of Ages, cleft for me-"
Thoughtlessly the maiden sung
Fell the words unconsciously
From her eirlish, gleeful tongue
Sang as little children sing;
Sang as sing the birds in June;
Fell the words like bright down
On the current Of the tune
Rock of Ages, cleft for me-
Let me hide myself in Thee"
Let me hide myself in Thee"
Felt her soul no need to hide;
Sweet the song as song could be.
And she had no thought beside;
All the words unheedingly
Fell from her lips untouched by care,
Dreaming not that each might be
On some other lips prayer;
Crock of Ages, cleft for me.
Let me hide myself in Thee.'
"Rock Of Ages, cleft for me,"-
Twas a woman sung them now,
Pleadingly and prayerfully
Every word her heart did know;
Rose the song as storm-tossed bird
Beats with weary wing the air,
Every note with sorrow stirred,
Every syllable prayer.
Rock Of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
"Rock of Ages, cleft for me-"
Lips grown aged sang the hymn
Trustingly and tenderly,
Voice grown weak and eyes grow
dim,
'Let me hide myself in Thee"
Trembling through the voice, and low
Ran the sweet strain peacefully,
Like a river in its flow,
Sung as only they can sing
Who life's stony paths have pressed;
Sung as only they can sing
Who behold the promised rest
"Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
"Rock of Ages, cleft for me-"
Sung above a cofin-lid
Underneath all restfllly,
All life's joys and sorrows hid.
Nevermore, o storm tossed soul
Nevermore from wind or tide,
Nevermore, from billow's roll,

The Village Beauty.

Dora Maxwell was the prettiest
girl in Dacre-a village which pro-
duced crops of pretty girls, just as
naturally as it did big rocks, shaded
roads, cool glens, and picturesque
and highly dangerous waterfalls.
Everyone liked Dora The young
men, because she was handsome
and unaffected; the girls, because
she was amiable, and always had
the prettiest patterns of any one in
the village, and was quite ready to
lend them and the mammas, on
account of her substantial charms
such broad meadows, such goodIy
cattle, such stores of linen made up
by the hands of the thrifty Dora,
such wealth of massive silver and
oId-fashioned china as belonged to
Deacon Maxwell, and a goodly por-
ton of which must go to his eldest
and handsomest daughter, would
have made even u squint, red hair,
and bad temper endurable in their
eyes.
So all the village regarded her as
a sort of personal property, and
every mother who had a marriage
able son watched over her with a
vigilance and interest truly surpris-
ing, and which ought utterly to con-
found those who don't believe in the
natural goodness and purity of hu-
man nature. Spite of which, in her
twenty-third year, Dora was Dora
Maxwell still-a fact which she
didn't take at all to heart, though
some OF the envious had COM
menced to whisper, "old maid"
1t was the first Sunday in June, a
warm, balmy, smiling, fragrant
morning, just deepening into noon,
as the deacon and his family came
home from church. Mrs. Maxwell
had on her loose dress, and was fan
ming hersef by the window, while
Dora and her two sisters, having
laid away their hats and parasols,
were getting dinner, when their
mother exclaimed: "Dear me, if
there amt Eph Schenck comm up
the walk" " The girls giggled, and
Dora redeemed.
Eph Schenck was a long, tall,
shambling, freckled, red-haired
youth. who had a disagreable way
of driving over to church from his
fathers farm (ten miles distant),
and then concluding to take dinner
with Deacon Maxwell. She knew
just how it would lie. He would sit
there, in that corner, by the eight
day clock, his chair tipped back,
his huge mouth open and his eyes
fastened on her in stupid admira-
ton. He would choke himself at
dinner, and break out in a perspira-
ton, trying to say something tender
in her ear. He would go with them
to church and tumble up the steps
he would tread on her dress, ani
tear it; he would insist on singing
out of the same book with her, ant
to a doleful tune of his own imag

EDITOR K. C.. LIVE STOCK RECORD
AND FARMER:-The twenty-ninth an
nual meeting of the Missouri State
Horticultural Society was held last
week at Lexington. Mo.
The session was sald to haye been
one of the best and most interesting vet

to the excellent programme of exercises

and generous hospitality accorded by
the citizens of Lexington and the fsv-
orable weather all taken together,
helped to make the meeting a grand
success.

A OaILD's INFLUENCE.

III Mariposa, Cal, there lived a large
eyed, beautiful prattler. Mary Cameron.
One evening when all was silent she
looked a%nxiously into the face of her
backsliding father, who had ceased to
pray in his family and said:
spa, is God dead?'
"No, my child, why do YOU ask
that?'
''Why, pa you never talk to Him
now as you used to do"
These words haunted him until he
was reclaimed.
