Friendly Feelings.
ooh, says seine man here, THAT is

impossible No. I cut outof paper
this: lone Of the ploasantest incidents
recorded ina long time isreported from
Sheffield, England. The wages Of the

whose decision both masters and men
arc bound. For some time PAST the iron
and steel trade has been extremely un-
profitable, and the employers cannot,
without much loss, pay tie wages fixed
by the board. which neither employers
nor employed have tie power to charge
TO avoid this difficulty the workmen in
one of the largest steel wogI;s i'll Sheffield
hit upon Il device as rare az ii Was gen.

houses and costly enterprises where this
Christlile injunction OF my text is fully
kept, aud you could no more get tho

to be lifted, perhaps for some fortress,
and a corporal was overseeing the work,
and he was giving commands to some |
soldiers as they lifted; "Heave away,
there! Yo heave" Well, the timber
was too heavy; they could not get it
up. There was gentleman riding by
on horse, and he stopped and said TO
this corporal: "Why don't you help
them lift? That timber is too heavy for
them tolift. - "Eo, he said, ~ won't.
am corporal. y The gentleman got
off his horse and came up 10 the place.
Now" be said to the soldiers, AL |
toeether-yo heavew and the timber
went to its place. Now, - said the
gentleman to the corporal, when you
have piece of timber too heavy for
the men to lift, and you want help, you
send 10 your commander i'll chief" 1t

all the gospel I know-the gospel OF
giving somebody lift, lift out OF
