doing well and the expenditure would not embarrass him With a nice new Brussels carpet and new furniture Mrs little lor looked exceeding pleasant and table Besides it looked as though her husband was prospering in his business It was so nice that the young wife not bear the idea of having the lor shut up so that no onu could see it till the furniture had grown rusty she made up her mind that must

In the meantime Ben had paid as much for as friend had for new furniture ard tbe party seph laughed at him and camo to believe that he was insane and would tainly come to ruin in another 3 ear Mrs Ben

entered the store sume months past the intercourse between the young tb bo it Jn a merchants had not been as cordial as for- Joe's nice had rather set There is an old-world delusion man clings to very fondly and builds up and propounds most whenever he has an it is the idea that he las degenerated in size and stature and that there were in other days and that he is gradually dwindling down to The past is ever ving th's In this museum we saw proof on proof that man is very much ttc same now as he has been since the flood Ours is not quite a fist and yet we could scarcely squeeze our hand into the hilt of Odin's sword We are not a Goliath of Gath and yet we not think the knight's weapon such an unmanageable weapon We remember once being disappointed in the weight of an iron-studded flail in the armory of the Knights of St John at Malta A com- rade however who saw it through the old delusion exclaimed There's a weapon It would task our degenerate thews ami sinews to wield that 1 think Eli said a highland corporal who was with us there's a chiel in our company who oar wurl it round his head like wusp ot straw Yet spite of those evidences the discovery of a few gigantic bones here awl

can afford the table and chairs Xay my dear I will not spend a dollar for while I am in debt Mrs Ben Weston felt very bad about it but her husband was firm and she was forced to content furniture Joe's nice things had rather lim up some of the upper ten had to visit him and he attended the Alma parties his wife He was getting along fast in own estimation and cherished a supreme empt fur the motion of But when in the middle of the year he uund himself running hill and dis- that Ben's store was crowded with shoppers while his own was empty a ng of envy took possession of him Ben be he concluded and sooner or later the consequence would loar Tim could lot but notice the sad and dejected mien jf his frierd as he entered the store are you Joe Ymi are almost stranger lately do you keep

If I pay this note there is hardly a that I could get through with the herself with the plain Sirs Joe Weston enjoyed her nice lar until the novelty wore away and then she discovered that there were a great many other articles wanted to make look uniform The two windows must have drapery curtains a pier glass needed and some pictures were to relieve the waEs Her husband who advertising but had

has been very dull for the last sixth mouths Haven't you found it j it has been driving with me Joe knew it had indeed his present visit was not to borrow money but to pre- pare his friend for the which now unavoidable continued he My sales have been J can't account for it Ben took down his ledger and pointed to the account whore the sums paid for advertising had been On up a slip of paper he had footed them Five hundred and sixty-five dollars for advertising That's what did the am free tu say that I know of no mentality at the hands of the church that is so well adapted to meet tho

Missionary for this State Wo understand from Mr B that ho has five Missionaries Baptists Methodists and ists already engaged to assist him in the work of establishing Schools The above testimony as to the wants of our State and the adaptation and ciency of tho American Union is worthy of attention Joe was astonished It was quite as much as he had paid for fine things in his house and for parties ind the opera but the investment had been profitable in as much as taken in tion with his careful management of iness and economical manner of living it had been the foundation of his future for- tune It had given him a good start in business and a good start is half the tle Joe Weston failed and paid only twenty cents on the dollar lEs fine furniture was all sold and he was obliged out But in his

our common nature At the point on the side of the ain where occurred the transhipment of from the west was moored a anal boat waiting the arrival of the rain ere starting on its way through 0 the east The captain of the boat a all rough and sometimes profane man stood by his craft the labor of his men when he ears came aud a few moments after 1 party of about half a dozen men came rut and deliberately walking up to addressed him Sir we wish to go on cast but our urther progress to-day depends you n the have just left there is a iek man whose presence is disagreeable Vc have been appointed a committee y the passengers to ask that you will ly this man a passage in your It le goes we remain what say By this time tbe others had Some from he cars said the captain I mo heard the through your committee Has the sick man a 1 wish to hear both sides of the question To this unexpected interrogatory there was no when without a moment's ause the captain crossed over to the uid entering beheld in one corner a poor emaciated worn out creature whose was nearly eaten up by the consumption The man's head was bowed n hib hands and he was weeping The captain advanced and spoke to

be spread in the choicest part of the cabin where lie laid the invalid with all the care of a parent Then scarcely deigning to look at crowd alongside he shouted to his hands Push -off the boat But a feeling seemed to possess the of shame and contrition at their inhumanity With one common impulse each seized his gage and walked immediately on board the boat In a short time another committee was sent to the captain asking his presence the cabin He went and from their midst arose a white haired man who with drops starting in his eyes toM the rough and sturdy captain that be had them a lesson that they felt humbled forc him and they his It was a touching scene The fountain of true sympathy was broken np in the heart of nature aud its waters welled kiu the utterance of all present On the
