Mrs. Dingles, who had now ac- quired more definite knowledge of the delicate nature of the task before her, got 6 case knife, and, by gently inserting it's thin edge, endeavored to pry the clinging drapery loose, while Dingles writhed and groaned and muttered suspicious language; and Mrs. Dingles said: "Hushi Daniel, remember your standing in the com munity," and Daniel, from the depths ot his anguish, said: "Hang the com- munity!"
 Then Mrs. Dingles dropped her im- provised scalpel, and said she wasn't going to stay there and be sworn at, when she was doing the best she could, and founced out of the room, took up, the baby, and sitting down in rocker, began to sing
 And must be to judgment brought,
 And answer on that day
 For every vain and idle thought,
 And every word say.
 Dingles begged her pardon hLmbly, and said he did not mean it and would take it back. He didn't want the community hanged. Then he inn plored her with tears in his eyes not to forsake him in his dire extremity. Something had to be done. He could not go through life halt and maimed in that way, and wanted to know if she could not ravei the thing out and take it off one thread at time.
 Here Mrs. D. was struck with 8 brilliant idea. She said she would run over 10 Mrs. Jones' and ask her what to do, which she accordingly did, and so startled that benevolent old lady with her story of Dingles' predica- ment that she thought he must be dying, and rushed over forthwith to see what could be done to save him.
 Dingles had just time to barricade his door and shout through the key hole that he was not at home to com- pany, or she in her anxiety would have rushed in on him in his unpre- pared state. Then Mrs. Jones told Mrs. Dingles to get some grease and a basin of hot soapsuds; then she di- rected from the outside, while Mrs. D. executed her commands. By greas- ing his back thoroughly and then ap- plying the soap and water, they finally, after an hours hard work, relieved him of his tenacious adherent, and he emerged clothed, but hardly in his right mind, for he said: "If it were not for his position in the community he'd be dinged if he wouldn't thump the man that told him about the plas- ter till his teeth rattled." Then he bound them both to secrecy and went out and resumed his interrupted occu- patton.
 But, through the united efforts of the three to keep the affair quiet, it was spread all over the place before night, and Dingles heard ot it so often, and in such exasperating language, that he got mad and said he was the victim ofa conspiracy, and used forci- ble language and backslid. and his pas- tor had to labor with him long and faithfully before he could be induced to resume his former prominent posi- tion in the church.

 "Among the most singular Of char actors that I have ever metz said . young gentleman who had travelled considerably, 'swas young English man whom ran across In San Diego, l was with friend In that town who was going down to Eneenaila, Lower California, in his yacht Peyton is the name of my triend, aud he owns . huge rancho on that peninsula. We'll, we were going to the yacht when this man of whom l speak came up to Pey- ton and said to him: Il am an Eng lishman, and would like to ship with you as e common seaman Ills lan- guage and his address were that of . gentleman, and we both stared at him. He continued: T am, aa yen can see, somewh hat above the ranks of uaca who follow seafArlng calling. Hut the truth of my story Is I ieft London a few months ago, determined to 70 around the world upon nothing, I have reached San Diego, and intend to travel for a good many years with out taking a flve-cent piece, but by working my way My friend took him. At Enscnada he left us. He refused money, and started to walk across the peninsula with small sup ply of bread. We afterwards heard that he had successfully accomplished that terrible tramp. You know that country Is tho most horrible desert. There is probably not habitation In the interior, and yet that man walked clear aeross the peninsula when brave hearts havo Quailei at tho attempt, even when they were mounted"

"Good Enough"
Exchange.

aGood enough" and "that will do'' have ruined many a boys prospects. When the task has been done as well as he can do it, then it twill do," and not till then. There is an important lesson in the following story for heed less boys. John has taken a shovelful of ashes out of the stove, and says to himself, as he puts tine shovel away, "There, guess that will do. The pan isn't empty, but it's near enough mo- body will see it. If can get the store swept in about five minutes, can fin- ish that story in the Ftreside Com panion before any one comes"
 The store was swept very much as the stove had been cleaned. The open spaces presented very good appear ance, but out-of- the-wa corners and underneath boxes and barrels told a different story.
 However, John said it was "good enough" The story was finished, and the paper hidden out of sight before the clerks arrived. Then MT. Willis, the proprietor, came in, bade them all Good morning" 1" glanced around the store, and went into his private office. Presently he called John.
 "Take these letters to the office as soon as you can. They will be just in time for the nine o'clock mail. Come right back"
 John hurried to the office as he had been bidden, but, having deposited the letters, saw no more reason for haste. Indeed, he even indulged in game of marbles before returning to his work. When he entered the store again, Mir. Willis made no complaint on his tar diDess, but remarked, "Well, John, Eve almost learned my lesson"
 John stared. "What lesson, sir?"
 "Why, the one you've been teaching me lately"
 John was more puzzled than ever, and all day long he wondered what lesson he could possibly teach Mir. Willis. The next morning Johns work was done as speedily as before, and no better. MT. Willis came be- fore the clerks, and sent John out on an errand. While he was gone, the gentleman, with . quist smils, began to investigate the corners that John thought nobody would zee" When he returned, Nr. Willis aid:
 "John, I told you yesterday I had almost learned my lesson To-day I know 1t thoroughly. Would you like to hear it2a"
 1Yes, sir.n
 AYOu have besn teaching me how we'll I could get along without you. I thought the stove needed cleaning and the store sweeping every morning, but it seems they don't So I shall not need you longer than this week,

December Hints.

On most Southern farms December
is a sort ofsupernumerary month. The
work of harvesting the crops is over,
the fall grain has been sown, and there
is strong inclination to relax effort
and anticipate the holidays. This is
especially true of the negro laborers,
and particularly those who have been
under engagements as nants and
croppers. Indeed, the civil division
OF the year does not correspond with
the real farming year, which practi.
cally ends with the month of Novem.
Der. Som, careful and calculating
farmers have adopted the plan of hir-
ing wage-hands until the first of this
month. excepting one or two 10 take
