But give me a sly fl Irtatlon.

Good reader, supposo n man comes to
your house to dinner. You ask him to
sit with you, and, taking your places at
tho table, the meal begins. Ail that is
necessary for tlio enjoyable refreshment
of tho Inner mon is beforo you, well
cooked, and decently served. You and
your family are seated in comfortable
chairs, with cushions on them. Your
places aro furnished with tho requisite
knives, forks, and spoon", to nsslst you
in disposing of your eatables, and to
promote your comfort as you eat.
But your guest is not so well provid
ed for. Instead of giving him u cush
ioned chair, you ask him to sit on a
hard board bench, or on n comfortless
stool with no back on it. You hand
him Ills food, It Is true, but glvo him
neither knife, fork, spoon, nor napkin.
At first ho thinks thcro Is soinounintcii-
tlonal omission, which ho hopes you
will presently supply; somo mistake,
which you will rectify. As ho gazes
around tho table, however, iio sees all
your family supplied with tho rcqulslto
table furniture, and enjoying their din
ner with it. And ho further notices
that his uiifurnlshcd condition awak
ens no surprise on tho part of any body
nt tho table.
With embarrassed mood, and sadden
ed heart ho docs his best ut partaking
of Urn food set beforo him, but of course
fulls to enjoy It. Ho hurries through
as rapidly us homay, and, even though
ho may not verbally express his deter
mination, yet ho Inwardly resolves that
ho will never again take a meal in a
house where tho hospitality is of tho
peculiar sort you have shown him.
llut you say you cannot supposo such
u ease. You never treat peopio in lliai
way when they conio to dlno with you.
It would bo very bad manners.
Conio then, from tho dinner tablo to
the church.
Tho church bell rings, and tho church
doors aro thrown open, welcoming all
who may feel disposed to enter and par
tako of tho free Gospel feast. A stran
ger, attracted by tno entering uirong
of tho church forboro to furnish his pow
with a hymn book, becauso they feared
ho might steal It.
Tho hymn Is done, and In duo time a
chapter of tho Itlblo being announced,
our stranger looks through his pow for
a copy of tho sacred book. Finding
none, ho begins to regard himself as n
suspicious character; but ho thinks that
at tho modcrato prico at which tho lil
bio Societies furnish copies of tho Scrip
tures to tho destitute, they might havo
risked a copy on htm
Tho collection boxes nro carried
around, and our friend supposes that
he, at least, Is exempt. But, to his sur
prise, tho collector thrusts the box at
him I Ho thinks It Is a very mean trans
action, under tho circumstances, and
makes no addition to tho collector's pilo
of caslu k
When tho sermon is delivered, lot it
bo over so flno n discourse, it is not In
human nature for tho stranger to enjoy
It, or to bo profited by It, as ho might,
If tho inexpensive courtesy of a hymn
book had been extended to him. When
tho blessing is pronounced, at tho close,
ho departs with n senso of n lack of tho
blessedness which might, under other
circumstances, havo beon his. Deter
mined never again to set foot lnsido of
such an Inhospitable church, ho tries
another tho next Sabbath, and yet
another and another, only to meet, in
tho most of them, thosumochilllng ex
perienco.
Christian peopio, consider I If you
want your churches to ring with tho
full chorus of sacred song, an important
step to bo taken 13 to furnish every
worshiper with a hymn book. Tho
mombers of tho Church own them, per
haps, and havo them either at their
houses or in their pows. It is as un
courteous to tho stranger to ask hlin to
worship with you and to furnish no
hymn bookforhim,asitwouldbo to ask
him to your tablo, nnd withhold from
him tho table tools which would min
ister to his comfort. You havo no moro
reason to expect him to bring his hymn
book to your church, than his fork or
spoon to your dlnner-tablo. Perhaps ho
would not sing if ho had a book. Try
him rather than forcohlm into speech
lcssness. Perhaps ho understands not
a noto of music. Ho may not bo so
terribly behind your Japaneso choir In
that respect. Common courtesy tic
mauds that you give him tlio oppor
tunity to ti'st his powers of sacred song
whatever they may bo,
Supply every seat In the church with
a hymn book. If tho favored sitters In
tho front pows aro using a now edition,
bearing tho dato of tho present year,do
not glvo tho impecunious stranger In
tho back pew an old ono of 1835, with
tlio back broken, or sldo off.tho corners
dog-eared, and tlio fly-leaves scribbled
on by tho small boys, who thus improv
ed tlio tlmo during tho delivery of tho
borinon, which they could not. under
stand. Provide good, clean hooks; let every
body who comes feel welcome to tiso
them. JIako tho stranger enjoy tho
blessing of free Christian courtesy, ond
it will add not only to tho volumo of

A Strange Dream. A friend of

since. Ho dreamed that ho went to
sleep and slept lor fifty years. When
ho awoko from his half-century slum
ber, he heard somo men talking about
a now amendment to tho Constitution.
Wondorlngly, ho asked them "what
amendment ?" They replied "tno is-
675th." From a conversation with
them ho learned that a mulo had boon
elected to Congress from Georgia, and
thero wero somo contesting his seat.
Tho omeudment was proposed to meet
tlio exigencies of tlio easo and lot tho
mulo In, From tho emigration of mules
Into Georgia In tho last year, wo havo
no doubt but that they aro largely In tho
mnJority.-lf("aiia (7.) Constitution.
Tiiky have a fellow living in Lafa
yetto,Ind.,who is humility personified.
Tho other day ho asked a young lady
if ho might "bo allowed tho privllego
of going homo with her," and was in
dignantly refused; wheroupon ho in
quired, very humbly, If ho might bo
"allowed to sit on tho fouio aud boo her
go by."
