which seemed to enter tbs cabin by
the sidelight which was left open
foe ventilation. The cry was heard
by tbe second officer, who was oo
the quarter deck, and by Chester,
who was at tho wheel, neither of
whom would throw light npon tbe
incident to the enptain, who had
rushed on to tbe deck in a state of
terror, and demanded in vain for the
production of the offender.
From tnat uay it wag cisar to an
that Captain Philips was tormented
by opproheosiona of coming disss
tor. A.a idea was fixed in his mind
that big gbip was visited by a spirit
from the invisible world, which pre
ferred to make Itself hoard rather
tbaa seen. And this idea was
strengthened by tho fact that when
ha was oa deck and became angry at
the oondact of any of the men. es
pecially whoa his anger was made
manifest ia oaths and blows, the un
seen bat aver-vigilant visitor from
afar, would perched apparently oo

man would rash off to big cabin with

and there abide autil tbs gale in bis

That it as asgry with ao oas else
bat ihs esptsia was slsar, from the
fact that it aever took notion of ika

But most sf thos who livsd io tbs

This anestion wag put to a
who
gen-
tleman wbo bod been in
business
forty years. After reflecting a while
be replied i
"Not one. I have seen many meu
become rich aa if by mogio and wit
golden opinions, whea some little
thing led to gn exposure of tbeir
frsud, oad they hove fallen into dis
grace and ruin. Arson, perjury,
marder and anloide ore common
with those who mske baste to be
rich regardless of tbe means."
Boys, etiok a pin here. Yoa will
soon be men, ond begin to oot with
those who moke money. Write
this good man's testimony ia your
mind, end with it put this word of
God i "He tbot bostenetb to be
rich both on evil eye, and eonaid
eretbnot toot poverty shall ooroe

Our distinctions do not lie in tbe
ptsees oliicb we occupy, but in the
grace and dignitv with which we
fill them.
Monday is ths golden glaap that
binds the volume of tbe week.
Not being untutored in snfToring,
I learn to pity those in affliction.
No place, no company, no ago, no
person is from temptation free. 1et
no man boast that be was never
tempted let bim not be high min
ded, but fear, for be may be snr
prised in that very inatsnt wherein
be bosstoth that be was never tempt
ed at all.
We all dread a bodily psraljsia.
snd would nutko nao of every con
trivance to avoid it, but none of us
are troubled about a paralysis of tho
soul,
Doraan natnro is so constituted
that if it has an ache or pain whicb
ceases on oocaaion it must needs do
something to find ou' weather it is
still there. Ten minutes after a
raging toothache has stopped you
always try an experiment in order
to aeo wotber the ache has takon its
final depurturo. We are like tbe
Russian pennant wbo said, "Doctor,
wbenovor shake my bead I have a
terrible shooting in my brain."
"Why in tbo world, then,'' repliod
the nhraician. "do vou Blinks vonr
, -,, .
hoad f" Tbe peasant thought a
moment ftud then answered t "Why,
loctor, J bsve to shake my head to
soe whether the psiu is still there."
I ho hardest thing to do is to "let
well enough aloue. "
A Fbarmui. W arnimo. Onco upou
a time "not very long ngo o certain
man got road at the editor and stop
pod bis paper. The next week be
sold bis corn ot four cents below the
market price i then bis property was
sold for taxes bocause be didn 't read
the sheriff's sales t ho was arrested
and fined $H for going bunting on
Sunday, simply bocause be didn't
know it was Monday, ond he paid
300 for a lot of forged notes that
bad been advertised two weeks and
the public cautioned not to negoti
ate tlioin. He then paid a big
Irishman, with a foot like o forge
hammer, to kick him all the way to
tho newspaper oflioo, whore be paid
four years' subscription in advance,
and made the editor sign ou agree
ment to knock bim down aud - rob
bim if ho ever ordered bia paper stop
ped again. Such is life without o
newspaper. t'x.
I envy no quality of the mind or
intellect in others nat genins, pow
er, wit, or fauey i but if I could
choose what would be mont delight
ful, and I believe most useful to me,
I should prefer o firm roligious be
lief to every other blessing ; for it
makes life a discipline of goodness,
creates now hopes wben all earthly
hopes vanish, and throws ovor the
decay, the dostruntioa of existence
tho most gorgoous of all lights ;
awakens life oven in doath, and from
corruption snd decay calls up boati
ty and divinity i makes an instru
ment of torture snd of shame the
ladder of ascent to paradise ; ond,
far above all combinations of earthly
hopes, calls np the most delightful
visions of palms and amaranths, tbe
gardens of the blest tbe security of
everlasting joys. S Bmiijihrey

The yonng moa were rbums and
intimate friends in colloge. One
became o Baptist mioister, and the
other an Episcopalian. Tbey did
not meet again for years. Wben
tbey did, it was in tbe pulpit of tbe
Haptist, wben tbe Episcopalaio
preached, to tbe groat satisfaction
of tbe congregation. Sermon over,
tbe two divines ducked their beads
behind tbe breastwork of the proach
insr desk ond held tbe following
colloquy 1 "Fine sermon, Tom, ronob
obliged. Sorry I can t repay your
kindnesa for preaohing, by asking
you to stay to onr communion.
Can't though, you know, because
yoa wers uever baptised " Ob don't
conoern your self about that, Jim I
oouldo't receive the communion at
your bands, as yoo have never been
ordained,'
Between male ond female, says a
modern writer, tbore is 0 difference
of kind only not degree. Man is
strong, woman is beautiful 1 man
ia daring and confident, woman is
diffident and unassuming 1 men is

man shines abroad, woman at home 1

man prevents misery, woman re
lieves it t man has science, woman

tice, woman an angel of mercy.
