that the session had some cans° for praying

absent from the meetings. '
His safety lay in his ignorance. /tut he was
defeated in this plan. The next afternoon;
when the session was to meet, he found, , on
his return from his place of business to dinner,
that his wife had aired his elesn shirt, brought
out hicoat, and made ready his shaving ma
terinis. His fiworite drnner was smoking on,
the table, and his wife said pleasantly- - •
• Our minister has been here, and says that

thirty-Seiesth psalm,- end praying with his
family,t.he good man retired. Mrs. Voodbury,
as was her custom, bustled round awhile. She
prepared her for boiling, washed the po
tatoes, put things in order, meanwhile saying
to herself, 'Never mind; I'll find out their se-
crets.'

Would that her thoughts had been as profits
ble, or of like' nature! But while he fed up
on the precepts of God's word, she 'ate up the
sins of God's people as one would eat bread.'
'lt is good enough for tho Pratt's,' she said;
they need humbling for setting themselves
up above their neighbors. I neverean get her
to make
,a social visit here; and ; when I go
there, she-always nets as if she was.afraid she
should say a word too much. .Indeed, she
once had the impudence to remark, 'I-think it
is better to say nothing about a -person than
to speak evil of them.'' Just as if the truth
shouldn't be told. 'Well, well, we shall see
now.' .
Mrs. Vtroodbury was not slow, in complete
ing her "usnal domestic operations the next
morning. After 'putting things to rights, and
giving a Careful look td her pot of beans in the
oven, she threw -on her blanket Shawl and
hood, and went in to see her neighbor, Mrs.
Todd. The latter was busy in her kitchen;
but Mrs. Woodbury, telling her not to mind
her presence, seated herself by the cooking
stove and took her knitting-work:
- "How nice your wheat bread looks, Mrs.
Todd! I think your flour must be good.-- - -
Pray, where do you get it r
"We alWays buy of Mr. Pratt,' was Mrs.
Tood's answer, as she busied herself arranging
her loaves in the oven. •
Weil so hare answered the elder's
• wife ; ' but, somehow or other, the last we
bought didn't seem to be just the thing--,s
lit-
Itle'runny; and, when baked; full of large
holes. Now breadi to be good, should look
more uniform, full of small boles, like a piece
of nice sponge.' -
Yes, I know that. But I have had no
trouble, if I get the best brand—.Beich's flour.
But it comes very high: , Only Think, eight

place since her last visil.„ de •tts were
not foi gotten. Now, from some sort of moral
affinity, Mrs. Pratt and Aunt Patty were good
friends; not that the foiln,,r confided greatly
in her sociable neighboi-, for she was not one
to 'hew for herself cisterns that could hold no
water: bat the kind heart and native shrewd:
nets of the `batty gossip iron her interest. It
was not necessary, howerer,.to tell any one
now that the Pratts*ere perplexed and trou
bled—l mean any oho as familiar in their fam
ilv as Aunt Patty. _Not 'e word, however, had
lieen exchanged between them on the subject.
When at their house, the lady like reserve of
Mrs. Pratt forbade such alletsiOns, even to
those most in her confidence. But, once at
the minister's, Aunt Patty (who had long thol
about it) resolved upon a boid step. She
wodid learn front the minister himself *hat
the session was going-to do with Mr. Pratt.
'I was determined to ask you. said she, af.
ter making known her errand; for I do feel
so sorry for his wife. -She don't, complain a
word; but I believe she is dying by inehe.s.—
Why, I reckon she's lostten pounds within a
month.'

I declare, I knew you, spent considerable bf
your time poring over books and writing ser

about his sheep than that comes to. And
Aunt Patty opened her snuff-bex to relieve her
astonishment.
'But how did,this story get round, 'Aunt'
Patty r asked the minister, no* a little more
upon his guard, and sitting down by her side,
tia if thoroughly interested in all she had to
say.
This was a nevi• thin^ to the vendef ornews ;
