A METHODIST minister once started
a church in a young western town
but for want of pecuniary support was
soon obliged to abandon it. His fare
we'll sermon to the lukewarm brethren
was characterized by more heat than
elegance. He ended thus: "At the
last day the Lord will say to Peter,
Where is your flock ?" and ST. Peter
will answer. Here, Lord He will
say to Calvin, And where are your
sheep?' and Calvin will reply, Here,
Lord and so all the shepherds can
answer. But when he asks me,
Where are your sheep?' how will you
feel when am compelled to reply,
Lord, I haven't any; mine are all
hogs?"

The King and the Child.

King Frederick VI, Of Denmari
while travelling through Jutland one
day, entered a village school, ant
found the children lively and intellig
ent, and quite ready to answer ques
tions.
"Well, youngsters" he said, "wha'
are the names of the greatest kings IL
Denmark ?"
With one accord, they cried out
"Canute the Great, Waldemar ano
Christian ""
Just then a little girl, to whom the
schoolmaster had whispered some
thing, stood up and raised her hand.
"Do you know another?" asked the
king.
"Yes-Frederick VI"
"What great act did he perform"
The girl hung her head, and stam
mered out; II don't know"
"Be comforted, my child" said the
king; II don't know, either. ."-'Sel.

This and That.

Benjamin Franklin, when lad oi
eighteen, had a bit of advice literally
"beat into his head" He went, at one
time, to call upon Rev. Cotton Mather
who received him in his library, but
when his guest left showed him Q
shorter way out of the house through
narrow passage, which was crossed
by q beam overhead. They were
busily engaged in conversation, when
the minister suddenly cried out,
"Stoop, stoopn; Not understanding
what was meant, Franklin bumped
his head against the beam. MI. Math'
er never missed a chance for moral
instruction, so he said to the boy
"You are young, and have the world
before you stoop as you go through
it, and you will miss many hard
thumps." Franklin was often re-
minded, in after years, of the advice
so forcibly given, and said that it did
him good service.

How to Get Cinder out of the Eye

Nine persons out of every ten, with
a cinder or any foreign substance in
the eye, will instantly begin to rub
the eye with one hand while hunting
for their handkerchief with the other.
They may, and sometimes do, remove
the offending cinder, but more fire.
quently they rub till the eye becomes
inflamed, bind handkerchief around
the head, and 60 to bed. This is all
wrong. The better way is not to rub
the eye with the cinder in at all, but
rub the other eye as vigorously as you
like.
A few years ago I was riding on the
engine of the fast express from Bill
ghamton to Corning. rhe engineer,
an old school-mate of mine, threw open
the front window, and I caught a Gin
der that gave me the most excruciating
pain. I began to rub the eye with
both hands. ''Let your eye alone and
rub the other eye" (this from the en-
gineer). I thought he was chatting
me and worked the harder. II know
YOU doctors think you know il all, but

The Old Rail Fence.

Let others in their songs rehearse
The beauties they may see,
And build monument In verse,
So that 1t fitting be.
But will raise my voice to sing
A fact without pretence,
That much despised. old-iashioned thing,
The honely old rail fence.
What would our dreams Of childhood be
Without its Zigzag path?
And there what flowers we used 10 see
Before the aftermath!
The fields are there like grass aolaZe
The fireweed flaunts from thence,
But almost gone from out the gaze
We find the old rail fence.
The rapid march of progress has
Erased the landmarks Of old;
It is to-day q thing that was,
a story that is told.
The pruning knife Of Time has cut
With energy intense,
With other childhood relics, out
The honored old rail fence.
1t was the squirrels sale retreat
The chipmunk's chattering oft
Made US advance with hurrying feet
Where he was perched aloft,
There Nature stored her wealth away
And oft we carried thence
A thousand jewels in day.
Found by the old rail fence.
Arbutus, mullen, golden rod,
Felt its protecting care.
And though with hands full homo VIC tro
We had o world to spare.
Life gives, know, so much to-day
The past to recompense,
But with sweet memories laid away,
keep the old rail fence.
