THE MINISTER'S MISTAKE.

heard a story the other day about a
mistake made by q prominent divine
whose name Is as well-known in Brook
lyn as that Of DR.. Talmage. The rever
end gentleman had occasion to spend a
few days in a suburban town on the line
Of the Long Island road. He went to the
depot to take the train for this city, and
there met a member OF bis congregation
lady well.known In social circles here.
The lady had valise and a small pack.
age which rested on the floor OF the
waiting room. Beside them were sever.
al crooks of preserves. AS the train
came in the gallant divine took the valise
and package and preserves and placed
them in the seat he had found for the
lady, and then occupied the seat in front.
At one OF the stations an agent came in
and displayed dispatch notifying him
that the preserves had been stolen and
the thief was on board the train. The
reverend gentleman was naturally much
confused. He explained that he thought
they belonged to the lady, while she in
turn thought they belonged to him.
There was considerable laughing on
board the train when the facts became
known. The reverend gentleman paid
the expressage back on the preserves
which he had unintentionally stolen.-

the comforts and shape the pleasures of
all of us. No one can be happy for any
one else. But il the people who cling TO
life in cities and expensive towns could
be persuaded to consider with common
sense the question whether after all life
in the country, with its abundant EN- joy
mentS and employm yments, and its small
expense, is not the life they ought to
adopt, it is probable that we should see
beginning of the repeopling Of aban-
doned farms, and a new growth OF val
liable population. A new generation
might grow up to love home well enough
to live and die in it,
1t is not at sll probable that the New
England States will recall to their homes
the same people, or call to them the same
kind of people, who have left them. A
new age has begun for all the eastern
country. Wealth has increased in cities.
The custom of having country as we'll
as city home is largely on the increase.
Before many years all parts of the coun-
try which are Lealthy and attractive will
draw purchasers of lands for country
homes. Where few will seek such
homes in fashionable localities for sOci
ETY. pleasures, hundreds will seek them
in more economical and quiet as enlnya.

90 into the country for the whole year
More and more men will retire from ac-
tive business on small fortunes, instead
of remaining IL in to increase them, with
the hundred TO one chances of coming to
grief and losing all. People of moderate
means, and people of wealth too, will
learn how much nobler is race Of
children brought up in the country than
a race brought up in the city. And, tn
bring this to close. the man who can
count on an income of $500 year while
he has family to support aud care for,
will be wise enough to go where he can
buy a hundred acres of land for ten or
twenty dollars an acre, and live like a
prince, on his own estate, from its pro-
duce, with an outside income of six OF
seven hundred. But even there ne must
work. The better country than the city
is beyond doubt the free land of fields
and forests. But work and weariness
we must have forever on this soil OF
earth, nor will there be work without
WEAKNESS any ywhere until he shall reach
the better country far away, which the
inhabitants of the old red farm house de
sired and l hoTe found. " Correspond

A POEM IN PIE.


You can talk about your Bartlett pears as glibly
as you please,
And I'll confess they're bout as fine fruit az
grows on trees
And California grapes and plums and all that sort
of thing, ..
That people go abroad to find and cross the ocean
bring
They are all splendid eating and are handy In their
way,
But none of them's entitled to an undlsputed
sway,
For Of all the things that grow on vines or bush or
shrub or tree
A pumpkin when it's made in pies the finest fruit
for me.
Now take it when you're hungry and you're wan
ing something choice,
A pumpkin pie is just the thing to make your
heart rejoice
You'll likely quite forget you owe the world sin
gle cent,
And lay yourself right out to taste a mOrsel Of
content.
Don't stop with just single piece, but keep it up
until
The last of it has vanished or you've eaten quite
your fill.
tell you what it does me good its lucious tints
10 see,
For pumpkin when it's made in pies the finest
fruit for me,
We love to think that il we're good and do the
proper thing
That by and by Wen journey to the palace OF the
king,
And while I'm weary of my load and waiting now
togo
There's some things l shall hate to leave behind
me here below,
And II thought there wouldn't be some pumpkin
patches there
believe I'd rather stay down here and wrestle
with my care.
Without them Heaven isn't what think 1t ought
TO be,
For pumpkin when it's made in pies the finest
fruit for me, Chicago Herald.

his mind by long whistle.

went early in the winter. After his re-
turn he painted picture of the Indian
girl, which attracted good deal OF at
tentioD, but he refused to sell 1t.
He changed sadly in the next few
months. He was no longer the bon
canarade of old. And in the studios il
began to be whispered that Almy was
going mad.
"One night entered his room, and
found him standing before the picture
grasping the fragments OF that broken
cup.
he only replied Let me alone. Mere
dith. / am trying to solve the problem
of existence. Good night, dear friend.
Good night, my boy, / said; and, with
an uncomfortable feeling that was tht
third in that room,I i closed the door anc
came away.
"The next day none Of US saw any
thing of Almy, aud, becoming alarmed
we entered his studio and found hin
lifeless upon the floor before the picture
of Zuli. On the table was package ad
dressed to me. IL contained the volume
of Persian quatrains. Between th'
leaves was a note, which ran thus 4:
