DroWning ; the Squirrel. When I was about six years old, one morn ing going to school, a ground squirrel ran in to his hole in the road below,me.' like to dig boles in some open space, where they can put out ibeir heads to see if any danger is near. [ thought: Now [ will have some fine fun. As tjiere was.a stream of water just at band 1 dfeterrained lo pour water inio the hole till it would be-£t{f. and force the little animal up so that I might kill it. I got a trough from beside a sugar maple, qsed for .catching .the sweet sap, and was soon pouring the water in on the poor squir rel. i could hear it struggle to get up, and diid: “Ah, my fine little fellow, I will soon have you but.” ~• Just then. I beard a voice ,behind me : “Well my bov, what have you there?” •-1 turned and saw one, of my neighbors, a good old man, with-.long white locks, that had seen sixty winters, ; “Why,” said I, “1 have a ground squirrel in here, and am going to drown him out, if 1 can do It.** Said he, , “Jonathan, when I was a little boy, more than fifty years ago, I was engageoune day just as you are, drowning a ground squirrel, an old man, like me, came along, and said to me: “You are a little boy ; now if you were down in a narrow bole like that, and 1 should come along and pour water on you to drown you, would you not think it was cruel 1 God made that little squirrel, and life is as sweet to it as it is to you, and why will you torment to death a little innocent creature, that God has made 1” “I have never forgotten that, and never shall. I have never killed any harmless creature for' fuii since. Now my dear boy, I want you lo remember this while you live, and when tempted to kill any poor little an imal or bird, think of this ; and mind, God don't allow us to kill his pretty little creatures for fun.” More than forty years have passed, and I have not forgotten what the .good man said, nor have t- ever killed the least animal or bird for fun since. Now, you see it is ninety years since this advice was first given, and it has not lost its influence yet. How many little creatures it has saved from being tortured to death I can no- tell, but I have no doubt a great number ; and I believe my whole life has been influen ced by it. Now, I want all the little boys, when they read this to keep it-in mind; and when they see pretty birds or harmless animals playing, or hunting their food, not to hurt them.— Your Heavenly Father made them, and He never intended them lo be killed for fun.— Child’s Paper. A Flacky Preacher. A Methodist preacher well known for his uncompromising hostility lo all intoxicating drinks, bad made an appointment to preach in a neighborhood notorious for its intemper ance. It was generally understood that his remarks were lo be- chiefly directed against the'besetting sin of the district in which he was to preach, and several noted bullies had given out that they Intended to whip him if ' he touched on what they meant should be for bidden ground. The day appointed for the preaching arrived, and the preacher appeared on the aland. A large number of his breth ren from adjacent districts, bearing of the threats against him, had come to the meeting in order to protect him from violence, but the preacher had no intention that any of his friends should fight on his account —he was able to do his own fighting. Accordingly, on mounting the stand, he had thrown off his coal and vest, and rolled op his shirt sleeves, displaying the arms and chest of a Hercules. He said he had heard there were several men present who had threatened to whip him; that he had many friends present who were able arid willing to protect him. He said that he did not like fighting, but if there must be fighting on his own account, he would rather do it himself than have his friends fight for him, and (hat as be did not wish the services interrupted," he would prefer it should take place before the meeting was opened. “And therefore,” said he, “if there is any man here who thinks he can whip me and intends to try it, if he will have the goodness to step forward, [''will flax him with as much ease as I now lift brother Smith saying which he seized, a preacher who stood by his side, and who was a small sized man, by the waist band of the breeches, and lifting him from the ground, held him out at arm’s length with one hand. This exhibition of his physical strength prevented any demonstration on the part of his enemies, and the meeting proceed ed without interruption.- Starting in the World. —Many an ''unwise parent labors hard and lives sparingly all his life for the purpose of leaving enough to give his children a start in (he world, as it is called. Selling a young man afloat wilh money left him by his is like lying bladders under the arm of one who cannot swim ; ten chances lo one he will lose his bladders and go to the bottom. Teach him to swim and he will never need the bladders. Give your child a sound education, and you have done enough for him., See that his morals are pure, his mind cultivated, and his whole nature made subservient to laws which govern man, and you have given whai \ will be of more value than the wealth of the Indies. You have given him a start no mis fortune can deprive him of. The earlier you teach him to depend upon his own resources, the better. To produce amiability and happiness, the mind and heart must act together ; they must be the impartial judges, the gentle monitors, and the hind encouragers of each other : and wo of them.
