In tho tlivivinp: villngc of Itollvthom tliiTu were; (UH IH oomiuoii to Htu'li placun) ti church, ])OHt-onU'i», a couple of stolen, imd iltstrict school, the stihl school being taught by a young huly who hiul u will owed mother nnil brother* nml nisterH to ttssist in Mtjtporting

Vol* the Pake of economy* Miss Eva Stanley , lbounletl urouml" among the Rch(ihu*fl, ami was euiiHitleretl a paragon among teaehers, Iler father had been a respectable mechanic, but died nftei about two yearn of illuen**, whicli bitter \y impoverished the family, Eva had, however, (she being the eldest,) received a good plain education before the great calamity came upon them, and noble hearted and unselfish, began her work of usgisting in the support,

The last week previous to tho holiday vacation nhe had boon boarding with u Mrs. Carpenter, whowtismakinggigantic preparations for guests she expected from New York,

"You never met my brothers, Eva," sho said, nnd then began to give the pretty young teacher a description of them* '"There'** Ham, George, and Johnny, the youngest; and such times as they have when they get out here to rest and rusticate, as they call i t ! But, dear me, I don't get much rest or peace, for they are l ike a lot of boys let out ol school. Such tricks nnd pranks no one ever saw. The last time they visited m< all togethrr, John and Sam actually cut a pane of glass from tin* window and pelted (ieorge out of my best room with snow ! You see there is always a regulat strife for that particular room, for tht bed is a spring one, and they say thej don't sleep on any other in the city. But they don't get iu'there this time, thatV certain, for f intern! to keep you in that room, and so end the controversy. T am so afraid they will break or ruin some­thing that T am glad you are here. Tt may keep them in check a little."

"I had just as soon occupy nny other room, Mrs, Carpenter, and do not wish to incommode your brothers—have no right to do so.M

"No you shan't, Eva," peremptorily oxelaiined her hostess ; 'Yuid what is tin use of your going homo vacation week V You can stay here ju*t ns well as not, and do up your sewing on my machine. Your mother has mouths enough to feed, T guess, and Won't miss yours."

The subject was dropped, and the entire household retired 8 irly, for out In morrow the brothers, young, ardent and full of life, were to be there. Hut with­out sending any word of their intention, they had concluded to take the evening train, which would laud them at Holly thorn about bed-time, (Ieorge and Join did so, and when safely seated in the cars began to speculate about tho absence ol Sam.

"No reason tipon earth why In shouldn't have been along," Baid George.

"No, for ho told me this morning h< Would certainly be on hand," replied John,

"I can*t make it out, Unless lie hflL

taken the live o'clock train, by mistake/ "Not a bit of it," laughed John, win

fancied ho understood the entire pro gramme. "It is more likely he took th tt train on purpose to get into HannuhV span* bed-room, and make us take uj with straw ticks and feathers/1

"I didn't think of that, b u t t feckot ton are right, We must contrive, to gel hiin out somehow."

"Bet your life on that.** The brothers put their heads togetlici

and laughed merrily over some schenn for outwitting Sam, and accordingly when the train reached l lol lythom aboui eleven o'clock, they approached tin house of their sister in u very stealth} manner,

Climbing the fence in the pear, they, softly onened a window and obtained ac cess to the pantry, where they demolished a miuce pie nud*u quantity o*f doughnuts Then, with appetites appeased, they re moved their f boots and prepared to investigate the "best room"—stole along the hall, which was dimly lighted by tin moon, ascended tho stairs and reached the door. The faint rays of tho moon disclosed a chair piled with clothing, and they could distinctly trace the outline-of a form beneath the bed-clothes, and had not t l u remotest idea but that Sam was enjoying sweet repose upon Han uah's best bed.

X few whispered WOVIIB Were ex changed, and then as softly and lightl) as if shod with down they drew near.

"All ready 1" whispered George. (Juick as 'thought, they seized uponth*1

form of the sleeper, bed-clotheM and all, bore it swiftly down the stairs, out into the snow, and were just about to deposit it in a huge drift, when a shrill scream broke tho stillness of the night, and oh ! horror—it was that of a woman ! And in their consternation they drooped their burden plump into the middle of the drift.

"Good heaven!1* exclaimed George, **it iniTt Sam, but some woman, as T am a sinner, and she has fainted, l inn and call Hannah.M

With admirable presence of miml he lifted the limp form of Eva Stanley and carried her into the house. Hut her cry had already been heard, and tho inmates came rushing into the hall just as he up pear c il.

"George! J o h n ! for goodnesn Bake what does this mean, and who have you there V asked "Mrs. Carpenter inn breath.

"Hlessed if I know," began Georgo ; "thought it was Sum, so wo concluded i u g l t u l i l iu u i luum; l u Hie) n u u w , l u i getting into tho best bed and trying to euchre us Quick ! I believe sho has fainted/'

"Just like you !M scolded Hannah, n» sho assisted iu depositing Eva once more upon the bed from which sho hud been so unceremoniously taken : "He-ginning your tricks upon each other be­fore you fairly gel lulu tho hci*«e. Clear out now!"

Long before she was done with her tirade her discomfited brothers had bo-taken themselves down stairs, where they almost went into hysterics over the joke.

"A pretty kettle of lish !" said Georgo, rolling over the floor and letting off peal after peal of laughter.

"t should thiuk it was,11 replied John, holding his sides, "Oh ! my. Hut what the dickens is to be done about it, and who do you suppose sho is, G e o r g e f

"Some guest of Hannah's, of course, and young and pretty at that, I don't know how it is with you, but I feel par­ticularly small and* extremely cheap— would sell myself at a very low price. '

"Cheap?" roared John; "Cheap?** I would actually give myself away this blessed minute, and throw something in to boot. What we are to do, I can't say ; but I believe I shall dig out of this place and get back to the city before morning. i haven't got the courage to face tho music, so I'll get up and get."

Ho began hastily putting on his boots, and would have put his tlireat into exe­cution, but for the appearance of Hannah, who at once asserted her authority.

"Vou are not going a single step," Raid she; "butldon't wonderyou feel ashamed of yourselves. What on earth possessed you is more than I can tell/*

"That's right, Han; pitch in, scold away. I'll take any amount just now, fcr I am meek as a lamb. Hut who is it we have played so shabby a trick on V re­plied George.

"Trick? T Bhould think it was. Why, it is Eva Stanley, just as nice a young thing as ever lived. Sho is our school­teacher, and this is her week to board here; and I knew well enough you boys would be squabbling over that room as usual, so I put her in there, little think­ing you would come home in this stealthy manner/'

"Eva Stanley? Whew! A pretty school­teacher !" and repeating his sister s words, he gave a lugubrious groan.

"Hasshe recovered / ' questioned John, vainly endeavoring to restrain his laugh­ter at the wry faces his brother was mak­ing.

"Yes, T soon brought her t o ; but I don't believe the poor girl will ever get over her fright. She said that the first thing she knew she was being lifted up nnd carried out, and sho was so much alarmed that she couldn't titter a sound ; but the moment tho cold air struck her, she realized that she was being abducted or something of tho kind, and had just time to utter a scream when she fainted, ft is too bad, I declare, boys, I shouldn't wonder if sho had taken her death, being dragged out of a warm bed this timo of night and dropped into a snow-drift in that fashion. No wonder that she cried, poor thing/*

"Cried, did B1IO?M repeated George, with a groan.

"I should think she did, I just took her in my arms and let her have Iter cry out, while I explained to her how she happened to be mistaken for Sam, and so became the victim of your mad pranks/'

"That was neat of you, Han. I'm awful glad you hugged tho poor little thing. Wish you had just given her a brotherly squeeze for me—'pon my honor I do, Oh dear! I am iu sackcloth and ashes from this time, henceforward and forever," re­plied George, with another dismal groan.

"And how on earth do you expect us to stay and take the consequences?" asked John, beginning to look serious I am for taking myself off instanter* I had rather face a masked battery thiui this pretty teacher, after making such fools of ourselves."

"I don't care if yon had,** answered his sister, indignantly, "The only way to do is to brave it out, both of you, and apologize for your rudeness. She is not a bit stupid, b\it pleasant and merrv, and no doubt you will have a jolly laugh over the affair."

"Hut Sam ? ITow the deuce are we to $et along with him. You know well enough, Han, wo shall never hear the last of it from him ; that it will be brought up at all times and in all places."

"If you two can keep tho secret, I'll (hid a wav to silence Bridget, and it is a subject Eva will not care to have dis­cussed, and, fortunately, my husband is away from home. So go to bed and rest contented."

Sho showed them to the room she had intended them to occupy, and soon the house was once more hushed in slumber.

Meanwhile their brother Sam had reached the depot a few moments too late, tie found the train ho was to have taken 40110, but upon consulting a time-table, lie ascertained that another started two hours later, and so decided to take it. lie iitftired to himself, as ho impatiently crowded into an empty seat and was being whirled alone; at a rapid rate, how snugly his brothers had ensconced themselves in the best room, which by right belonged to him, he being the eldest, and consum­mated a plan to get even with them.

Sometime after midnight he was de­posited at Hollythorn, and reaching the sister's house, lie scouted around until ho round a way of entrance into tho kitchen, tvtiere he deposited his luggage and re­moved his boots. Then ho quietly stole •ip the stairs and opened the door of tho best room. Sure euough, thought he, "my lino chaps, you are in clover 1" for there were not to be mistaken signs of tho room being occupied. Garments were lying upon chairs, and the bed was pressed by slumbering forms.

To think of coping with their united strength by dragging them forth, was not practicable ; but there stood the pitcher >f water, and ho knew that a good dousing with the icy fluid would bring them out quick enough.

"If I can't have my old quarters,M lie chuckled, "you shan't, that I am deter­mined on. So here goes."

He lifted the pitcher, approached tho bed, raised it high, and suddenly dashed the entire contents upon the sleeper !

Such a torrent of screams as he had never before heard rang through tho house, and before Sam could collect hi* scattered senses door after door opened, and Hannah, George and John rushed in clothed in scanty apparel—Hannah with a frightened look in her face and a lamp in her trembling hand, that revealed the entire scene.

There, sitting tip in bed, with her halt dripping like a mermaid, her night-dress deluged, her face colorless and eyes look­ing terror, was the young school-mistress, and there was rfam, with the empty

pitcher iu hl» hand, the vor? picture of imbecility, startina about like an idiot at Mi»s Eva and the havoc ho hud made.

Hannah, George and John instantly Comprehended tho situation, and the lat­ter, at tho command of their sister, drag­ged Sam away, while sho assisted the drenched andter rifled girl to dry cloth­ing, and then took her to her own room ami bed, explaining, for tho second time, the mishaps of the ni;<ht,

"Ell keep you with me now, my poor child/* she said, though with great diill* culty keeping back her laughter. "Those boys are nicely come up with, at any rate; and if it wasn't for your having beeu BO terribly frightened, and tho way my be»t bed has been used, t wouldn't care. They do nothing when they come home but study up some trick to play upon each other ; and," continued she, by way of apology, "they aro so confined iu their olllees and stores during must of tho year, that they let entirely loose when iliey get uut 'iiuic. l ) t a \ | v « «»»w »-*. now."

Hannah kiflscd her charge, and went down to see about the boys, who, as soon as they were fairly shut up in the regions below! began to thoroughly appreciate the joke ; and now that Sam was as deep in the mud as they in tho mire, gave no quarter.

"I'll be blamed if I know what it all means," said Sam, looking in confusion at his brothers, who were rolling and kicking in convulsions of laughter,

"Wait," replied George, "until Han Comes, and see if you don't find out!" At id he gave vent to another peal.

Sam iiad not smiled, and sat looking the very picture of discomfort and per­plexity, but answered :

"For heaven's sako hold on, boys! I'm willing to admit that I am badly Bold— gone dog cheap to tho highest bidder; but hold up long enough to tell a fellow what it means/*

"Means? Of course I will,*' continued George, still holding his sides. "It means that you have stolen like a thief into Miss Eva Stanley's bed-chamber—who is a young lady teacher and 'boarding around;' that this is her week hero; and thinking it was your humble servant and Johnny snug iu* bed, you attempted to drown us out, and nnufea graud mistake. How do you like it, Sam / '

"I confess I see tho point, but can*t the joke. It is a most outrageous shame. ' • At this juncture Hannah came in and

began rating them soundly, thereby let­ting out the whole story, It was Sam's turn then to laugh, He struggled man­fully to retain his gravity, but the whole thing was so supremely ludicrous that he was compelled to join his brothers.

Mis* Eva was not visible at tho break­fast table the next morning, an 1 Hannah announced that she was sick with a severe cold; whereupon George groaned out and called for a handful of peas to put in Sam's shoes, while that gentleman looked very contrite, and John declared he wanted to shoot himself. Hut Hannah had the unruly crew under her thumb for once in her life, and had the satisfaction, also, of seeing them behave with some thing of dignity, They appeared to never forget that there was an invalid in the house, and went on tip-toe about; and Sam, who seemed to take tho entire re­sponsibility upon his shoulders, sent off slyly to N\»w York for choice fruit and Uowers, which ho induced his sister to convey to the young lady with tho most abject apologies and regrets.

In a couple of days Eva was able to Come down stairs. She was looking very pale, but lovely, and of eoursG blushed divinelv when presented by Mrs. Carpen­ter to her three brothers* who behaved quite well, considering the unpleasant­ness of their situation.

But Sam, who had broken the ico by means of his presents, was the most at ease, and by virtue of his age and expe­rience, constituted himself tho propitia­tor, and was constantly on hand to offer Miss Eva a thousand nameless at tent ions; and before; tho week was out John do elared in confidence to Hannah that "Sam was done for !"

"Gone under Completely!" echoed Georgo with one of his dismal groans. "Just think of it, Han—if it had not been for that pitcher of water, Sam would have been heart-whole this blessed min­ute. The fellow meets lots of girls much prettier than she everyday, and with lots of stamps, too. They say pity is twin sister to love, and I believe it "

"Sour grapes / ' whispered John, puck­ering at his mouth.

Hunnah sang Eva's praise, and secretly Commended Sam's choice. She recom­mended marriage to all of them, us being tho only sobering process she was ac­quainted with. It is a piece of advice, however, they do not appear inclined to follow, notwithstanding Sam's happy lot with the pretty school-mistress of Holly-thorn.

She often reminds her brothers-in-law of her unceremonious introduction to a snow-drift at tho dead of night, and they retaliate by tho shower-bath giveu her by Sam And she twines her arms about Sam's neck, and with tears in her sweet blue eyes, declares that but for that epi­sode she fears sho would never have had a husband.— WuviV* JIuuHthold Maya* z1ne>

Hero is a petty shadow game that Iff at tli and 7/om<; thinks good for amuse­ment;

Hang a sheet upon the wall, or in any place that is convenient; arrange your lamporeaudleso that strong shadows may be tlirown upon tho sheet. Then let one of the party sit near it on the floor with his back to rest. Now stand behind iu such a way as to throw your shadows up­on the sheet, and ho will try to detect one of the shadow-makers, As soon as he is successful, or thinks himself so, he calls out the shadow's name. The boy or girl who is thus found out must change places with him, and take a turu at guessing If tho players assume fantas­tic positions, or dross themselves iu somo odd way, or move very unnaturally, they can quite bewilder the poor guesser Even a piece of moist paper pressed against the side of the nose, so as to make a comical shadow profile, will prove a complete disguise.

Another way of playing this game is to hang tho sheet in a door-way. Tint "guesser** takes a seat on one side of it, in the dark, while tho shadow-makers re­main on tho other side with their candle, Tho shadows show through the sheet very distinctly.

An H o u r * ! < i t* fo iner , An anecdote worth laughing over is

told of a man who had an infirmity, as well as an appetite for fish. He was anxioun to keep up his character for honesty, even while making a bill with his merchant, as tho story goes, and when his back was turned tho honest buyer slipped a codfish under his coat tail. But the garment was too short to cover the theft, and tho merchant per­ceived it.

"Now," Baid the customer, anxious to Improve all the opportunities to call at­tention to his virtues, "Mr. Merchant, I have traded with you a great deal, and have paid vou promptly and honestly have n't I? '

"Oh, yos,M answered the merchant. I have no complaint "

"Well,"said the customer, "T always insisted that honesty was the best policy, and tho best rule to live and die by."

"That's so," said tho merchant, and the customer turned to depart. "Hold on, friend," cried the merchant; "speak­ing of honesty, I have a bit of advice to give you. Whenever you come to trade again, you had better wesr a longer tailed coat, or steal a shorter tailed cod­fish!"

T u n i n g iltt* Klur< h Out , A lot of idlers .stood upon the end of

a pier which ran out into the Hudson River, in one of the small towns near Al­bany, N. Y., a few years ago, amusing themselves with throwing stones into the broad stream, each vicing with tho other iu tho endeavor to pitch tho missile at the farthest distance from tho shore, when a tall, rugged-built Vermouter, di­rectly from the Green Hills, suddenly made his appearance in their midst, and for u while remained a quiet observer of their movements.

He was a brawny, good looking Yan­kee, and was decently clad. The efforts of the little party hail been exhibited ov­er again, when the stranger quietly pick­ed up half a brick which lay near him, and giving it a jerk, it fell mto the water a long way beyond the line which had as yet been reached by the foremost of the crowd. At the conclusion of the feat a a large bravo went up from a half a doz-

It was a clear day in October, and the men determined not to be outdone, re­newed their attempts; but the Vermout­er without saying a syllable to any one, continued to pitch the pebbles far into the stream, which seemed to annoy one of them in a green jacket, the apparent leader of the gang, who declared that he wouldn't be beaten by a "feller right straight out o* the woods, Do how," and bid ling up to the stranger, he determin­ed to make his acquaintance.

"Whero do you come from, neighbor?*' inquired the other.'*

"Me ? Wat, I hails from Vermont just it'tw, my friends."

"You haven't been in these parts long, I reckon?"

"Wal, no. Not exactly yore—but up an 1 down, sorter."

"Yes—so I 'spose." "Yaas," continued the green, 'un, care­

lessly ; seizing a big billet of wood, he whirled it over his head, and landed it several rods from the shore into the water.

"You've a little strength in your arms, neighbor ?"

"Some punk ins in tho flipper, strang­er. Up in our town, not raore'n a month ago, T drive them are knuckles right thru a board morc'n a nich half thick !"

"Haw, haw!" shouted his hearers, the man iu tho green jacket laughing the loudest.

"Maybe you don't b'licve it." "Not much," answered the crowd. "We ain't very green down here in

York—we ain't,'* said he in the green jacket.

"Wal, jest TOU look yore, friend;*' continued the Vermouter in a plausible manner, "up in our country wove a pur-ty big river, considering, Iuyun Uiver it is called, and may be you've heard on it. Wal, I hove a man clear across that river t'other day, and he came down fair and square on the other side."

""Ha ha, h a l " yelled hiB auditors. "Wal, nowf you may laff, but I can

do it again." "Do what?'* said the green jacket,

quickly. "I cau take and heave you across that

river younder, jest like tho open and shet."

"JM you ten dollars on *V* "Done,** said the Yankee; and draw­

ing forth an X (upon a broken down east bank,) he covered one of the bragger's shin-plasters.

"Kin yon swim, feller?" "Like a duck," said the green jacket;

and without further parley the Vermont-er seized the knowing Yorker stoutly by the nap of the neck and the seat of the pants, jerked him from his foothold, and with almost superhuman efforts dash­ed the bully heels over head into the Hudson.

A terrible shout ran through the crowd as he floundered in the water, and amid the jeers and screams of his compan­ions, the ducked bully pulled back to shore from his Midden and involuntary bath.

"I'll take that ten spot, if you please," said the shivering loafer, advancing rap­idly to the stake holders. "You took us for greenhorns, eh ? We'll show you how to do things down here iu York," and the fellow claimed the twenty dol­lars.

"Wal, I reckon you wont take no ten spots jis yit, captain."

"Why, you've lost the bet." Not exzactly. I didn't kalkilate on

deuin it tho first time, but I tell you I can do it;*' and in spite of the loafer's*) utmost effort to escape him, ho seized him by the scuff and the seat of his overalls, aiid pitched him three yards further into the river than upon tho first trial.

Again the bully returned, amid the shouts of his mates, who enjoyed the sport immensely.

"Third timo never fails,** Baid tho Yankee ; stripping off his coat, I kin deu it, f tell ye.

•Hold on'*! said the almost per tilled victim.

"And I will deu it if I try till to-mor­row morning."

"I give it u p ! " shouted the sufferer between his teeth, which now chattered like a mad badger's, "take the money,"

The Vermonter very coolly pocketed the ten spot; as he turned away ho re­marked ;

"We aiid much acquainted with your smart folks daouu here iu York, but we sometimes take tho starch out of 'em up our way, and p'raps yecti won't try it on tn strangers again. I reck'n yeou won't," he continued, and putting on a broad grin of good humor he left tho company to their reflections.

A ftltnri* Boy* A lad was about to incur the penalty

for disobedience. The father deliberate­ly prepared a rod, while his son stood a sad silent spectator. As the parent approached the unpleasant duty, the boy started at a brisk run toward a neigh­boring hill. Tho father pursued, for a time tho youngster increased the dis­tance between them; but gradually his strength began to fail, and when ho reached the hill and began to ascend, soon lost his vantage ground. Nearer and nearer the irate father approached, and just as the top of the hill was reach­ed, and as he came within arm's length at the little fugitive, who was ready to fall from exhaustion, the boy quickly faced about, dropped upon the ground, and with tin iudiscribabte cast of coun­tenance, H exclaimed ; — " Papa, that— makes a fellow—blow—don't it?*1 This "changing of tho subject" appealed BO strongly to tho parent's risibility as to unfit him for tho dtity he had been iu such haste to perform a moment be­fore.

One day one of the boys was describing tho manner of a hanging he had witnessed, to which all seemed very attentive except this man, whose thoughts seemed some­what divided.

I t r v . W i l l i a m T a y l o r . The friends of temperance in tliis

country have recently had a valuable ac­cession to their ranks in the person of Rev. William Taylor of Liverpool, Eng. lu compliance with a callfrom Broadway Tabernacle CongregationalistChurch, iu New York, Mr. Taylor has assumed the pastoral care of that Church. From the Otapyow JAXxgue Journal we learn that he was, in Great Britain, a very devoted worker in the temperance reform and that it sustains a severe loss by his re* nioval to this country.

The Journal says in view of his antici­pated departure:

"The temperance cause in these king­doms is about to lose one of its ablest champions, and one of its foremost men* No section of the temperance host has more cause to feel and appreciate the extent of this loss than we of the Scottish Temperance League. By reason of Mr. Taylor's residence in England, which precluded much opportunity of his taking a prominent part in our public demonstrations, the general constituency of the League are not iu circumstances to guage the amount and value of the services which he has all along rendered it. He has, it is true, preached annual sermons for us, and taken an effective part at our annual meetings, and done yoeman service at other meetings, especially in relation to young men ; but these personal acts of championship were inconsiderable in amount, (though always sterling in value,) compared with the copious and impersonal service he has rendered to us by his pen. Not to name his contributions to our pictorial and other serials, we shall mention two organs into which more particularly his able advocacy has overflowed, one of the highest the other the lowest of our serial publications, the Scottish Revietv, and the Adviser. Like the steam hammer

can smash an anchor or an egg shell, our friend could bear himself with equal mastery on the higher levels of temper-auce or literary argument, and in the lower sphere of attractive juvenile in­struction."

On the occasion of Mr. Taylor's leav­ing Great Britain, he was invited to a farewell meeting in Glasgow, under the auspices of the Scottish Temperance League, in order that his many friends might have an "opportunity of bearing testimony to his long and valuable services In the promotion of the temper­ance causo." A large number of the representative men of temperance and religion in Scotland were present and gave expression to their high regard for him as an earnest and successful laborer in the cause of God and humanity. We are confident that the temperance work­ers of our country will heartily welcome Mr. Taylor as a co-laborer. We have great reason for rejoicing in consequence of his coming among us.

W h a t to D o W h e n i n T r o u b l e . The Scientific American says: Don't

try to quench your sorrow in rum or nar­cotics. If you begin this you must keep right on with it till it leads to ruin; or, if you pause, you must add physical pain and the consciousness of degradation to the sorrow you seek to escape. Of all wretched men his condition is the most pitiful who, having sought to drown his grief in drink, awakes from his debauch with shattered nerves, aching head and depressed mind, to face the same trouble again. That which was at first fearful to contemplate will, after drink, seem un­bearable. Ten to one the fatal drink will be again and again sought, till its victim sinks, a hopeless, pitiful wreck.

Work is your true remedy. If misfor­tune hits you hard, hit something else hard; pitch into something with a will. There*s nothing like good, solid, absorb­ing and exhaustiug work to cure trouble. If you have met with losses, you don't want to lie awake thinking about them. You want sweet, calm, sound sleep, and to eat your dinner with appetite. But you can't unless you work. If you say you don't feel like work, and go a loafing all day to tell Tom, Dick and Harry the story of your woes, you'll lie awake by your tossings, spoil your wife's temper and your own breakfast in the morning, and begin to-morrow feeling ten times worse than to-day^

There arc some great troubles that on­ly time heals, and perhaps some that can never bo healed at all; but all can be helped by the great panacea, work. Try it, you who are afflicted. It is not a pat­ent medicine. It has proved its efficacy since first Adam and Eve left behind them with weeping their beautiful Eden. It is an official remedy. All good physicians in regular standing prescribe it in cases of mental or moral disease. It operates kindly and well, having no disagreeable sequel, and we assure you that we have taken large quantities of it with the most beneficial effects. It will cure more com­plaints than any nostrum in the materia mndiva, and comes nearer to being a "euro all" than any drug or compound of drugs in tho market. And it will not sicken you if you do not take it sugar-coated.

The Bible is our book of songs. It is not only our fountain of doctrine, but our fountain of devotion. Mark how much there is in it to sing! Mark, too, how much there is in it to make us s ing! Out of its sixteen hundred chapters, about two hundred are mainly lyrical. Same of them are mere birdgushes of melody. Others are tender "songs in the night," for God's children of sorrow. Others are spirit-rousing battle-hymns, to be chanted by Christ'b soldiers as they wind up the fortified steps, or hurl them­selves on the foe. Cromwell went into the fire clouds of Worcester and Dunbar singing the war-psalms of David. Lati­mer mingled the sweet songs of victory with the crackling of the flames at the martyr's stake. The whole range of sa­cred music is in the Bible, from the mag­nificent Oratorio of the 104th Psalm to the lark-like carol of the 46th. The sweetest of all is that plaintive nightin­gale—the 23d Psalm. Through how ma­ny a dark, weary hour of trial has she poured her celestial strain. To millions this has been a song in the valley of the death-shade—a prelude on earth to the "now song" in tho Paradise of God. For one thing is incontestable, and that is that we shall sing in heaven. Even our beloved brethren, tho Quakers, had bet­ter take a few lessons by way of rehear­sal on this side of the pearly gates.

Our Sunday schools are tl ietrue train­ing schools for church music. And what­ever else you fail to teach the lambs of the Hock in the Sunday school, don't fail, I entreat you, to teach them how to sing.

—Rev. T. L. Cuyler. '•• < • >

' B l o w i n g for ihe Sett lement ." "I organized the first Sunday-school

in this county and ran it myself," said a shrewd but dissipated Wisconsin law­yer. "A few of us Americans came here early. We wanted to get in decent, in­dustrious Bottlers, and keep the rowdies out. Ho I said, *A Sunday-school will draw the folks we want. It will be the best and cheapest way to blow for the settlement." They all agreed to it. There wasn't a soul of us that pretended to have a grain of piety. So they pitched upon me to carry out the plan. I did it, sending to Mr. Rice of tho American Sauday-School Union for a library, and ran the Bchool all summer. I t did the blowing for us splendidly. Several Christian families came in, and as they had a better stock of piety, I handed the Sunday-school over to them. It was a grand thing for ua. We Becured a good moral settlement. In fact, sir, it got to bo so pious that I couldn't live there myself."

" Q u e e r S c h o o l M n r m . " A little girl in the South, old enough

to attend school, had never heard a prayer. A missionary persuaded her go to a Union Sunday-school he had recent­ly started, and which was conducted by a lady. When tho little girl saw the school was opened with singing and prayer, she slipped out and ran home, saying, "Mother, mother, we've got the queerest school marm you ever saw or heard on. She sings songs and speaks pieces in school, and tho fun of it is, she gets right down on her knees when she speaks her piece/*

The Sunday-School Union might find work for a few moro of its pioneer missionaries in that region.
