One time a preacher had a little
negro servant by the name of
Sam, and the preacher bought
some butter from one Of his neigh
bors by the name of Paul, and he
bought it on credit. One Sunday
morning the preacher told Sam to
60 over to Paul's and get pound
of butter and then come on to the
church. just as Sam was coming
up the aisle the preacher said in
the course of his sermon: What
did Paul say?" and he was look
ing straight at Sam. Sam thought
he was talking to him and said:
He say, boss, you can't get no
more butter till you pay for what
you done got.'

Some Evening Reveries.


sensitive in this respect. Nothing
can discourage a child more than a
spirit of incessant fault-fnding;
and perhaps nothing can exert a
more baneful influence upon both
parent and child. If your little
one, through the day, has been
pleasant and obedient, and you say
to him, my son, you have been
good today, and it makes me very
happy" and if, with more than a
usually affectionate embrace, you
say, Good night, my dear child"
a throb of suppressed feelings fills
his breast, and he resolves on
always earning such approval. If
your grown son or daughter have
accomplished some difficult piece
of work, rendering you essential
assistance; or have climbed some
step in the daily drill of study, or
have acquired some new accom-
plishment, or added grace; or
better than all, have gained the
victory over some bad habit or be-
setting sin-acknowledge it, see it,
praise them for it. Let them see
by your added tenderness, the deep
joy and comfort it gives you.
Thus you will create a great in
centive to right conduct, and lay a.
broad foundation for a character

The universal expectation of
married people is that their mar
ried lives will always be happy ones.
Deluded dreamers! They imagine
that they are different from other
people, and that when they enter
the portal of matrimony, love,
peace and prosperity will ever be
their attendants. Such ones had
better by far consider themselves
the same as others, but form iron
resolutions that will keep them
from the dangerous coasts upon
which so many have been wrecked |
and ruined. Unhappy marriages
depend upon many causes. Pre-
vious to marriage, many are amiable,
or more accommodating than they
really are. Depend upon it, that
love brought into existence by a
moonlight stroll strengthened by a
deceit and fashionable displays,
and finally consummated through
the influence of intriguing friends,
will fade in after life almost as
fast as the flowers which compose
the bridal wreath.
