Two Harvard youths were making
a pedestrian tour in the Scottish High
lands and in the habit of stopping at
small farm-houscs and asking for
milk, the charge for which was invari-
ably a penny a glass. Calling on Sun
day at romantic looking cottage in
Glen Nevis, they were sourly received
by the cottcr's wife, and though the
milk was supplied, the proftered two
pence was refused, with the solemn adj
monition as to the impropriety of such
doings on such q day. The collegians
were turning away with a courteous
word of thanks when the woman made
her meaning clear. ma, na!V she
cried, "I'll no. talk less than saNpence

Sheep Stealing.

There are some things that happen
to a man too good TO keep from the
public. We sometimes get caught in
our own trap.
When 1 was Presiding Elder on the
Elisabethtown District, my first Quar-
terly Meeting at Letchfield was held
Just at the close of protracted meet
ing ar the Baptist church. During
this meeting was told that the Bap-
tist minister made a very earnest effort
to proselyte some of our Methodist into
the Baptist Church ard in fact got a
most excellent sister, who had been a
Methodist elsewhere, before she mar
ried leading Baptist of that place.
On Sunday, at IL o'clock, [ took an
occasion to speak of religious prose
iyting and the proselyters. | de,

it moral sheep stealing. Using Key.

"If you had neighbor, cne who lived
on an adjoining farm, and you both
had flock of sheep, and your neigh
Dor would get salt, go among your
sheep, call them around him, sprinkle
some salt down, then catch a sheep,
lift it over the fence, put 1t IN ms
mark, and claim it as his own, what
would you call him? You would call
him II Sheep thief; and sheep thief
he would be p' At the close of the
sermon I opened the doors OF the
Church; and to my surprise Baptist
sister walked up and Joined. OF
course there was nothing left for me
to do but to take her in and put her in
to the Methodist fold, call her our
sheep. There was general buzz all
over the house. Our sexton was an
old oldRsp Rssiptti1st darkey, an intelligent old
fellow. by the name of Matt. Ine
next day I met Matt OH the street; tax

his face, he said, "Good mornln'

Can God See Through the Crack.

A lady came home from shopping
one day, and was not met as USUAL by
the clad welcome of her little SON.
He seemed shy of her; skulked into
the entry, hung about the garden, and
wanted to be more with Bridget than
was common. The mother could not
account for his manner.
When she was undressing him for
bed, "AIother," he asked, "can God
see through the crack in the closet
doorm
eyes" said his mother.
"And can he see when it is all dark
there"
"Yes,n answered the mother. "God
can see everywhere and in every
place." =,
'"Then God saw me aud he'll tell
YOU, mother. When you were goEe, ]
got into your closet, and l took and
ate up the cake; and | am sorry, very
sorry,n and bowling his head Oh his
mothers lip, he burst out crying.
Poor little boy all day he had been
wanting to hide from his mother, just
as Adam and Eve after they had dis
obeyed God, tried to hide from his
presence in the garden of Eden. Guilt
made them afraid. 1t put gulf be-
tween him and his mother. You see
how his wrong doing separated him
from her. He was no longer at ease in
her sight. His peace was gone. This
is the way sin divides us from God.
We are not happy there. We hide
away from Him, and try to forget
Him.
How did George get back to his
mother? How did he get rid of his
feeling of guilt and shame? ? He took
the best, the only true way, by repent
ing and confessing it. His mother
forgave him, no doubt, and he tasted
again the sweets of nesting close be-
side her, and loving to be in her dear
society. He was restored to her conf
dence and love.

Natures Compass.

How can I find my way in the
woods if | have no compass and am
entirely unacquainted with the re-
gion? $3.50,
In reply it may be said that there are
three quite sure ways of knowing the
points of the compass, which every
one should learn:
First, three-fourths of the moss on
trees grows on the north side.
Second, the heaviest boughs OF
spruce trees are always on the south
side.
Third, the topmost twig of every un-
injured hemlock tips to the east.
BY signs like these the Indians
know their way in forests through
which they have never passed; and
if you will only remember these signs,
you need never get lost in the woods.

The Two Sexes.

The men do not love the women SO
much as they love to have the women
love them.
When you have found a poor girl
who is said to be pretty, you have
found a really pretty girl.
Women are most sensible when
among women, and men are most SEN
sible when among women.
Some women are never pleasant to
their husbands except when there is
some other women around.
The man with the greatest joy, and
the man with the heaviest sorrow, arc
the men who say the least.
The man never rcnews his youth but
once; woman renews hers every
time she puts on new dress.
Times are changing to such an ex-
tent that it will only be few years un.
til parents will be sent to bed for talk
ing back.

A Funny Problem.

1t was warm, sleepy afternoon and
the scholars in Miss Plummer's school
looked and acted as if they wished four
O'Clock would hurry along.
The class in mental arithmetic were
lazily droning through their lesson,
when Deacon Day popped his CHEEKY
face in at the door. All the children
loved him, and were glad when he
came to visit the school.
Perhaps he saw they needed some
thing to wake them up, 50 when the
class was through with the lesson, he
gave them this problem.
"If eighteen cows were going
through q narrow gate where only one
could pass at a time, which cow
could look back and say, There are
eleven pairs of horns behind me""
The class thought busily fora min
ute; then up came Tommy Tufts
hand.
(which one, Tommy?" asked the
deacon.
The seventh"
NO"
Another minute of study, then Celia
Brown put up her hand.
"What do you think, Celia?"
II think it might be the eighth, for
when the cow turned her head to look
back, her own horns would be behind
her wouldn't they?"
mo, it isn't the eighth" the deacon
said.
About this time little Johnny Harris
horn OH the front seat, began to snick-
er.
"What are you laughing at, john
nyW asked Miss Plummer.
"Cows- can't talk ~ giggled john
ny.
Deacon Day laughed, too then.
Johnny has answered it," he said,
"None Of the COWS could do it, OF
course.
Then all the scholars laughed and
woke up for the rest of the day, and
Deacon Day bowed himself out.-N

Turned to the Light.

However dark the day,
However bright,
My plants upon the window ledge
Turn to the light;
The stems, the leaves, the bractS
Seem well to know
The certain principle of life
BY which they grow.
How strange it is that l.,
With active mind,
And soul that pain or pleasure feels,
Not seldom find
My heart turned quite away
From life and light,
And often for itself doth make
A gloomy night.
When floods Of sunshine stream
Across my way,
Or clouds Of sorrow come to mark
The passing day.
Still teach Inc, . my plants,
Dark days or bright,
To stand as ye. with hopeiui lace,
Turned to the light.
