MisquOted Lines.

1t is q peculiar faculty of human
memory to misquote proverbs and poe
try, and almost invariably to place the
credit where it does not belong.
Nine men out of ten think that "the
Lord tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb" is from the Bible, whereas,
Lawrence Sterne is the author.
Pouring oil upon the troubled wa
tersn is also ascribed to the volume
whereas it is not there; in fact, no one
knows its origin.
Again, we hear people say "The
proof of the pudding is in chewing the
string" This is arrant nonsense, and
the proverb says: "The proof of the
pudding is in the eating thereof, and
not in chewing the string"
Nothing is more common than to
hear: ga man convinced against his
will, is of the same opinion STILL"
This is an impossible condition of
an opinion and at the same time hold
to an opposite one. WhatButler wrote
was eminently sensible: "He that
complies against his will, is of his own
opinion STILL"
A famous passage of Scripture is Of
ten misquoted thus: ''He that is with
out sin among you, let him cast the
first stone." 1t should be: "Let him
first cast stone"
Sometimes we are told: "Behold
how great fire little matter kind
leth," whereas st. James said !:
"Behold how great matter little
fire kindleth," which is quite a differ
ent thing.
We also hear that "a miss is as good
as a mile" which is not as sensible or
forcible as the true proverb: "a miss
of an inch is as good as a mile"
Look before you leap" should he !:
"And look before you ere you leap"
Pope is generally credited with hav-
ing written, "Immodest words admit
of no defense, for want of decency is
want Of sense" They were written by
the Earl of Roscommon, who died be-
fore Pope was born.

The New England deacon Of the
olden time was gifted with piety, good
sense and an epigrammatic way OF
speaking. In the Tradition of the
Bellows Family" mention is made OF
a Deacon Foster, of Walpole, who pro-
posed to an aged widow by offering
"to go the rest of the way to heaven
with her" The offer was accepted.
One morning he rode up to the door
of lady in great haste, and told her
that a neighbor, Mrs. Carter, was in
sore trouble, as she had been violently
taken with a "serious and painful
breaking-out about her mouth"
The lady at once went to her house,
and discovered Mrs. Carter going
about her duties, and nothing unusual
on her face. Surprised, she told her
of the deacon's message.
"Well," answered Mrs. Carter, II
know what he meant. When he came
this morning, was giving Ben Carter
piece of my mind for his careless
ness, and the good deacon thought my
temper made my speech little un-
scriptural."

Early Prohibition In New York.

At the annual meeting of "the
American Social Science Association,n
which we had the pleasure of recently
attending at Saratoga Springs, N. ".
the following was read by the Rev.
Henry R. Traver, of Saratoga, from
documentary History of New York."
vol.2, page 592. The occasion describ-
ed being a Council held at Albany,
July 9th, l754, by the chiefs of the
Five Nations" the Commissioners
from Massachusetts Bay, Connecticut
and Virginia, and the Governor and
officials of New York. ... ,..-.-
Extract from address of "the Chiefs
of the Five Nations": ~
Brethren-There is an affair about
which our hearts tremble, and our
minds are deeply concerned. This is
the selling of rum in our castles. 1t
destroys many, both of our old and
young people, We request of all the.
Governments here present that it may
be forbidden to carry any of it among
the "Five Nations
Brethren-We are in great fears that
it may cause murder on both sides.
The Cayugas here present now declare
in their own name, that they will not
allow any rum to be brought up river,
and those who do must take conse-,
quences. 49,, ... ....,, .,...... - .ss.a
Brethren-We, the Mahawks, Of
both castles, have also one request to
make which is, that the people who
are settled round about us may not 6e
suffered to sell our people rnm. 1t
keeps them poor,-makes them idle,
and wicked, and if they have any
money or goods they lay it all out for
rum. 1t destroys virtue and the pro-
gress Of religion among us. We have
friendly request to make to the
Governor that he will help US to build
a chapel at Canojohery, and that we
may have a bell in it, which together
with the putting stop to the sale Of
rum, will make US religious and lead
better Hves."- "-Docssn.enta1y History

rive are glad to send the above
through our columns to about eight

wars might have been prevented by
the prohibition of the sale of rum to the
Indians.-Our Dumb animals. -

Conveying m Idea Delicately.

A prominent Albany clergyman,
who lived for some years in the South
and is quite familiar with the typical
plantation darkey, tells of gentle
man of his quondam acquaintance
who had faithful old body servant
whose word, with his master, was
law. Before making an important
purchase, or in fact taking any step
which might have serious consequent
ces, the old darkey retainer was con-
suited and his opinion was usually
final. One day, however, the old SER
want was away f.om home, and in his
absence the master made a purchase of
a horse. Whether or not the animal
was fine bargain the story does not
explain, leaving it rather to be infer
red from the old darkey's comment
upon the matter when he returned.
With some qualms of conscience and
an inexplicable feeling of insignifi-
canoe, the Master led the old servant
into the stable and exhibited his
equine purchase. "Well, SAM" he
said finally, breaking an awkward 81
lence, "why don'tyou say something {?
What do you think of my bargain ?"
The old darkey scratched his white
wooly head and answered slowly {:
"Well, massa, I war tryin' ter t'ink OBJ
a varse from Scripcha dat pears ter
me ter be applicable right heah. 1
can't somehow, git it into my ole
head, but I know it ends wild de
words, AN his money am soon

Your Speciality.

That means "eXcel at something.
Make a speciality of something, and
excel in it. Do not be content to do it
we'll; do it in the very best, or most
rapid, or in some distinguishing way,
by which you will come to be known
in conneXion with it. If it is book
keeping, or sweeping, or drawing, put
yourself into it, and do it as others
have dreamed it might be done. DO
not be content to singas well as Susy,
or to sew as much as Mary, or to walk
as rapidly and easily as your older sis
ter. Find out how they did this thing,
and then apply yourself to bring your
speciality, whatever it is, to perfection.
1t will require patience, industry, and
self-sacrifice; but it will pay in the
long run. Good work of any kind
pays, and it is the only kind that
pays.
Accuracy pays; so does rapidity !;
so, too, of neatness, thoroughness, and
other qualities which you will be cul-
tivating, perhaps unconsciously, while
sounding the heights and depths Of
your speciality.
And it pays, too, to hale Especial
ty." So many people, are 'bright,"
quick" ''intelligent,n; but almost
useless to any one needing skilled
help. because they have scattered their
forces over too much surface. In
twenty years you may learn to do one
thing well, so we'll that you could
command price or a position any
where but you can't have learned
twenty equally well.
Gather up your energies, your time,
resolution, patience, and talent (for
you have q talent for something) for
your speciality, and work right toward
it. I mean, of course, make this your
main business, and others subordinate
to it. Try to do well Whatsoever
your hands find to do," but bestow
your greatest efforts on the one thing.
A good steer is worth more than an
indifferent bull, and keeps with half
the trouble.

Presbyterians On Peace.

A committee on Peace appointed by
the London Meeting Friends, pre-

of Arbitration as substitute for War,
in all cases of international disputes.
Copies of this were presented to the
Pan-Anglican Conference of Bishops
of the Church of England; and to the
Pan-Presbyterian Conference, held in.
London in the month of July. The
bitter body adopted the following favor
able resolution respecting it: e
"At Exeter Hall, Condor, July 18th,
1888. The General Council of the
Alliance of Reformed Churches hold
ing the Presbyterian system being met
and constituted: Resolved inter ALA:
THE Council, having considered the
the Memorial from the Society Of
Friends on the subject of Peace and
the use of Arbitration as substitute
for War, are happy to express their
entire and hearty concurrence with
the sentiments of their brethren. We
hail with joy the settlements of In
ternational disputes already effected
without an appeal to arms, and see no
reason why this method of adjustment
should not be applied in allcases what
soever. In view, therefore, of the
many miseries of war, and of the in
tolerable burdens which preparation
for itimposes upon the nations, they
commend the whole subject to the
sympathies and prayers of the
Churches they represent, in the hope
that He whom we worship as the
Prince of Peace will more and more
incline the hearts both Of people and
rulers to settle all their differences
by an appealto reason and forbearance,
and not by force, ,-Ertracted from the

John CNinaman'S Pen.

The pen with Which John makes bis
tea-marks is curiosity. 1t is a hair
brush placed in quill, and is very
much like the little brushes sold with
toy paints. When he writes he never
touches his fingers nor wrist to the pa
per, but grasps the quill in the middle
and begins to paint very much like an
artist retouchinga 4 picture. Singularly
enough, there IS not al instance OF a
Chinamar being unable to write his
language, and many of the laundry
men who speak pigeon English can
read and write our language quite
we'll.
