She ate some more with J bread and ehee-se for her tea ' I never did taste nothin' that went to tiie right sj.t like them plums,' said siie. "It ain't because they're relishnin'; it's because they make one feel like I was a g d ag'in out in Wisconsin, with the sa.ssafras leaves tumin'yelierjind the wind blowin' in my face." Leah did not know until a neighbor's child brought lack the jar, neatly wrap ped in an old newsiiuper, what a treat she had unwillingly afforded her neigh U.r. "What is it, Willie?" she said to the boy. " It's the jar that had wild plum sass in it, said Willy ; " and Miss Akerly says she's much obliged and she gave me a ginger eookey for bringing it riark, she did." " Father." said Leah, turning reproach fully to the old man, " this is thy doings! Thee is always thinkin; of some one else." " It has done me more g.io.1 than if I had eaten it myself, Leah." said Friend Decker, apol.rgeticaliy. Leah ran to him and gave him a h -g. " Thee is an old -lariing, father," said she, "and thee makes me ashamed of my own temper sometimes." And she put the jar on the top shelf of the little pantry, and never thought any thing more of it until one day she wan ted a jar to put some stewed cranberries in. She was in a hurry, for Miss Anastasia Akerly was to lie buried that afternoon. She had died as she had lived sitting alone before her I'm and this was the ! day apjiointed for the funeral. Friend Decker had expressed a desire to attend the olisoquies of the kinswo man who hail been so li'tle to him, and Leah was hurryiug through her work, so that she mig it brcsh his well worn suit and take a much needed stitch or two in bis course worsted gloves. As she tore off the newspaper wrip- nin"s she stooped suddenly. "Father," cri.si she, "here is a piece of thick, yellowish paper rolled up and pat inside this j.ir that came from Friend A na.sfa 4a's ! What does thee suppose it is? Father. father, it's a will!" She ran eagerly with it to Frien 1 Deck er. He looked dubiously at the outside. "Thee is right, Leah,"said he. "Friend A nastasia's heart has softened toward ns. This is doubtless the will she mentioned the will in favor of Moses Sawyer. She has sent it to us to destroy. Nay dau 'h- I ter. nay," a Leah eagerly caught it up and hastened toward the fire; "give it to j me. It is not for us to make or meildle. ! If Friend Anastasia wished the will des- t roved, she should have destroyed it her self. 1 shall tike it back to Friend John son, tiie exivntor." " Father," cried Lech, " thee never would give back the will?" " I toes thee think it would he a right and honorable thing to destroy it Leah?" "If she wanted as to do so father? " " But we have no right to presume any thing of the sort, daughter," reasoned Friend Pecker, bnttoning it up under his coat. "Xay, nay ! do not fret." Poor Leah, overcome by the su l len blaze of hojie, after the darkness of despair, had burst into a food of tears. "It will 1e well w ith us never fear." Judge Johnson, the great man of the neighborhood, received the paper with some surprise. "PecemW ttth" he said. "Hum! ah ! this is the latest document she has executed. Oh, yes, I remember it very well ! I drew it np myself! But why did you brmg it here, Friend IVcker?" The old man briefly explained the cir enmstan -ea. " Oid people are apt 'o be capricious," said he, " Doiibtlem the trifling matter of the plum aance pleased her, and she sought to reward us. But I should never take base advantage of Friend Moses by burning the wilL" " But why in the name of common sense should yoa bnrn it?" cried Judge Johnson.

For what thou cans't do thyself rely not on others. A bridle for the tongue is a necessary piece of furniture. What we charitably forgive will le re compensed as well as what we charitably gi ve. The chains of habit are generally too small to be felt till they are too strung to he broken. The greatest pleasurs often originate in pain ; and the worst pains usually spring out of pleasure. To all intents and purp.ses, he who w ill not open his eyes is, for the time 1-e-ing. as blind as be that cannot. There are two sides to all memories, a bright side and a dark s de ; and the gain or loss from memory depen.ls on the side of it which we have in our minds as it is recalled by us.

Happiness in the Home. These words of Rev. Dr. John Hall sug gests wondrous possibilities of happinese in the home: "I have peeped into the quiet " parlors " where the carpet is clean nd not old, and the furniture polished and bright ; into "rooms" where the chair are neat ami t le floor carpedess; into " fcitcnf,'--i " where the family live and the meals are cooked and eaten, and the boys and girls are as blithe as the sparrows in the thatch overhead, and I see that it is not so much wealth and learning, nor clothing, nor servants, nor toil, nor idleness, nor town, nor country, nor station, as temper that render homes happy or wretched. And I see, too, that in town or country good sense and God's grace make home life what teachers or accomplishments or mean or society can make it the opening stave of an ever lasting psalm; the fair beginning of an endless exiten-e ; the goodly, mmlest, well proportioned vestibule to a temple of (iods building that shall never decay, wax old, or vanish away."
