A Weak Bell.

The following anecdote of DR.. Ly-
man Beecher was told by former
student Of Lane Seminary, present at
the time. Even now he cannot refer
to it without laughter.

Of cases of tardiness in chapel attend

chapel bell. DR.. Beecher waxed sar-
castle over the frequent recurrence Of
this excuse, until one morning the stu
dents, assembled as usual, found the
services unaccountably delayed. At

and slippers, with hair like the quills

jerkily down the aisle, mounted the

following explanation:

HOW I MADE $1,000

what a jolly farmer said as he entered
our sanctum. How is that? Why,
says he, Salzer's seeds not only grow
but they produce enormously. Had l
planted q few acres more of his oats,
wheat, corn, potatoes, grass and clover
seeds, 1 would have had to double the
capacity of my barns; that would have
cost me 81, 200. 1t is u fact that il you

able crops, you must sow Salzer's seeds.
