AROUND THE PRESIDE.
HOW THE BEE PAID ITS DEBT.

HOW THE BEE F AID ITS DEBT A tiny honey bee
 (So runneth German fable) Strayed too far out to sea, The pond an ocean seemed to be TO this lost, wet-winged honey bee,
 To save itself unable. A dove paused in it's flight;
 It heard the poor bee crying, Touched by it's piteous plight This sweet winged-heart of vesture white Taught by compassion, proved her might To save the bee from dying. From high up in the air
 She saw willow sweeping The edge Of shore and prayer, She flew, and plucked leaf from there, Then laid it on the water, where
 It's raft made bee safe keeping The leafy boat rocked to the shore, The bee flew to it's hive once more. The dove had long forgot
 (So rnnneth still the fable) It's kindly deed. One hot, Long day, when far from it's home cot, Twas flying slow, and low, and not
 On guard-Fate, the unstable, Changed suddenly the glass.
 ,Seei 'tis the white breast sailing The upper deep. Alas! A huntsman watching on the grass, Just waiting till the dove shall pass,
 For cruel shot, unfailing. Our rescued honey bee,
 Who still it's craft was plying, Poised in the air to see Which flower to sip of two or three, When by it's side, all suddenly,
 Huntsman and gun espying- It looked alott and lo
 Is filled with fiercest ire. That sott, pure breast of snow That it had long remembered so, Toward the gun it seemed to go
 Instead of flying higher. IS quick as flash of thought,
 The bee with poisoned fire The cruel hand had caught, And fiercely stung-tiI, better taught Young Nimrod all his gods besou ght To light his funeral pyre. What bad words Nimrod said,
 This rhymster telleth not; He wished that he were dead, He wrung his hands, he smote his head Then grasped his gun again and fled. The bee full victory got. The dove, white speck in the blue, Had suffered not-nor even knew What love, een through bee, can do! -TIsadore c. Jeffrey in Christian at Work

ONE OF THE SUMMER RESIDENTS.

Richard Storrs Barnes was born in
 Barnes homestead on Clinton avenue,
 November 2l, 1854. He has continued to live in Brooklyn and on the same avenue since that time, with the exception of about two years passed in Chicago in the branch house of A. s. Barnes & Go. MT Barnes became member of the firm of A. s. Barnes & Go. in 1883, and after the transfer of it's school book business to the American book company and upon the formers incorporation, was made it's treasurer and general manager. Aside from his interests here he is also largely interested in the stock of the American book company. Although the business of the old house was sacrificed much in it's transfer to the book company, MT Barnes has succeeded in developing an important trade in the remaining publi- cations, and extending the demand for it's several specialties. MT Barnes is also connected with other financial and com mercial enterprises, prominent among which as director of the Kings county bank, treasurer of the Automatic fire alarm and extinguisher company, New York, and president of an Arizona min ing company. He is a member of the Hamilton riding and driving, Rembrandt, and marine and field clubs of this city, and also of the Down Town association of New York. He is also treasurer of the Congregational club of Brooklyn and one of the trustees of the Brooklyn institute and of the Brooklyn hospital. His resi- dence on Clinton avenue is near Gates avenue, and here he possesses one of the finest galleries of paintings in the city, embracing such names as Diaz, Daubig- ney, Rosseau, Cazin, Detti and Van Marcke among foreign, and De Haas, Gay, Clifford, Wiggins, Moran, Johnson and Blakelock among American artists. His collection numbers about 100 exam ples, and in addition he has indulged somewhat in water colors, bronzes and rare bric-a-brac. He has a beautiful sum- mer place at Washington, Conn.,, which he keeps open good share of the year. A special feature of his grounds is a gent ly sloping lawn of over six acres kept | closely cut; beyond this as many acres more, and beyond this most inviting woods. Brooklyn Life.

SECULAR SERMON.

The Preacher Discourses on obsdience.-A Wore
 to Parents.
 The text, beloved, is taken from the words of Senex Sapiens, 'sHappy is the father who hath taught his son obedi
 ence.n Let me begin my sermon by tel. ling you story of General Havelock He went out on business ill London one day and took with him his son Henry, a lad about l2 years old. Having some particular errand to do he bade his son wait for him on London bridge until he should return. But the father forgot his l boy and drove off home without him. I About o'clock in the evening his wife ! asked her husband, 'sWhere is Harry?" I II declare, l forgot all about him. was l the reply, 1T left him on London bridge" :" And back the father posted to find his boy in just the place where he had been told to await his coming.
 In these days when family government is at discount it is refreshing to hear of such obedience as that, for in family gov ernment we have fallen on evil times as did the Emperor of Rome who ruled the people but who was ruled by his wife and she was ruled by her son. So let us for a little
 CONSIDER THE LESSON
 of the wise old Senex. Possibly he had been into the home of Mr Easyman. He had seen that when John was told to do anything he did it or not, as he pleased; that when little Mary was told to go to bed she answered her mother II wont.'' I know our worthy friend Senex just ached to handle the paddle in that family for about 15 minutes. He would have changed some of those ssI wills" and II wont's'' to ssNo, sir,' and es, ma 'am.' ;
 But, beloved, let me ask you to consid- CT how an obedient son makes happy father. It is the great reason why we should teach our children obedience. It is because an obedient son is growing up to be a good man. 4 parent ought to teach child to obey for the child's sake. What bey who does not obey his own fa- ther is a gentlemen, a pleasant person to meet with, an agreeable companion? Your rough boys, your bullies in school and your rowdies on the street
