PA VST Among the acquaintances of my youth there was one Peter Cox; and I am aorry to say that, from what little stock of patience he may have possessed, he invested none ofit in politeness. At all events be did not do it when he en tered business. Peter was a builder br trade, and one of the most thorough and faithful workmen in the country. If he undertook a contract, he was sure to perform his part punctually and properly. Still he was not always em ployed, for many who might otherwise have hired him were repulsed by his uncouth manner of treating them, and sought assistance elsewhere. 'Peter,' said his wife to him one evening, 'do you know that you have lost a good job by offending Mr. Gra ham?' Peter looked up from his paper and asked her what she meant. 'I mean,' she replied, 'that Mr. Gra ham has hired Mr. Leavitt to build his new house.' 'Well—what of that ?' Baid Peter rather crustily. 'Why, I am very sure ho meant to have hired you for to do the job, and that he would have done so had you not offended him.' 'How did I offend him ?' 'By not listening to him when he wished to describe the plan for the building.' 'His plan was a foolish one.' 'Well, suppose it was, if you had felt it to be your business to tell him 80, you might havo done it in a polite way.' 'Bab!' cried Peter, with a snap of bis fingers, 'don't talk of politeness in business. If I were to bother myself to be polite to everybody who happen ed to call on me I should have my bands full.' 'I think it would pay,' ventured the wife. Peter poohed at tbe idea, and then told bis wife that he wanted to read. About a month after this I'eter came home in unusual spirits, lie bad been out of work for some time, and be had been rather moody and crusty. Ilis wife noticed tbe change and she asked him what had happened. 'There's a prospect of work,' he re plied, 'we are to have better times in town. .Summer Wilkins of By field has bought tbe whole of the water pond on our stream, and is going to .wet a fac tory here. 1 think I'll get tbe job. They say that Wilkins would rather have some one hen- for to do it, and my friends will recommend me.' Mrs. Cox was highly delighted, for she knew that such a job must pay well, and she hoped that her husband might not be disappointed. A few days afterward an order came for some window bliuds; and oue after noon while he was busy at his bench, a man came and watched him at his work for a few seconds without speak ing. He was a middle-aged man, rather coarsely clad, and I'eter suppos ed it must be somu oue who wanted work. 'How d'ye do?' said the stranger, as Peter laid aside the slat which he had just finished. 'How d'ye do?' returned Peter, in a sort of uncouth grunt. 'That looks lilto good lumber you're workiug there,' remarked tbe visitor. 'lt's good enough,' was the response. 'What is such lunlbcr worth here?' 'I don't know,' and as Peter thus answered he took another slat and be gan to plane it. 'I suppose you buy Bome lumber, sir?' said tbe stranger. 'I do when I want it,' returned Peter, without looking up from his work. 'la there any in town to be sold?' 'They'll tell you at the mill. I don't saw lumber myself.' 'But you knoar the value of it,' re marked the stranger, with a slight touch of feeling in his tone. 'Who told you!" retorted Peter. 'I supposed, us you were in the habit of using considerable lumber of yarious kinds, that you would be the proper one to ask.' 'Well, sir,' said our grouty builder, in his uncouth, unkind and ungentle manly manner, 'it so happens that I have something else to attend to be sides keeping tho price of lumber for everybody who may want a few boards.' 'Ah, yes; I didn't koow you were so busy,' returned the visitor in the cold est and most polite manner imaginable. 'Pardon me if I have interrupted you.' And with this he left the shop. Peter Cox hud done no more in this instance than he bad done a greut many times before; but yet ho could not put it from his mind so easv. Somehow it clung to him, and even after an hour had passed he found him self wishing be treated his visitor with a little more decency. But it was too late now. Peter Rot liih blinds all made, and then awaited n«w« from Byficld, aw it WAN expected that Summer Wilkins would soon make arrangements to commence o|«erations. 110 felt sure ol the job, a« hin friend* bad ne«n Wil kiriH and recommended him strongly It would IN- an good an three dollar* a day to him for several months. One morning an Peter ramo out mi the utreet, he heard It remarked that Wilkins had got his hands all en gaged, and would break ground very HOOII. It could not bo poasible, thought our builder. Surely ho would have had Home notice of ttucb a move. Half an hour after that he was stand ing at the door of a grocery, when a man drove up in a carriage, and he came into the atore. lie bowed to one or two who stood there, but gave Peter only a cold look. It wua the man who had called to his shop two weeka before and inquired the price of lumber. Ho waa dressed plainly aa <jver, but he drove a aplendid borne, and the carriage waa a coatly one. 'Who la that man?" Peter aaked af ter the atranger had gone. ■That,' returned a byatander, in evi dent surprise; 'don't you know him T' 'Why, that ia Mr. Wilkina.' 'Summer Wilkena, of Byfleld? The man who in going to build the fac Tory ?' 'Yes.' Peter Cox left the room with a 9ink ' 1 ing heart; and by the time he had . reached the shop was almost sick What a fall it. was. He went home dinner, and ere long his wife had heard the whole story. She had al ready learned that the great job had been given to another, aud knew why 1 it had been done. 'Why didn't he let me know who he was when he came into my shop?' said Peter, in a petulant mood. 'That isn't the question,' suggested bis wife, speaking as considerately as possible. 'lt would be better, Peter, if you would ask why didn't you treat him respectfully ? It seems from your own account that he asked a very sim ple and proper question—as any ought to answer with pleasure. I tell you, my husband, politeness pays. If you could only overcome your habit of treating strangers so uncouthly, yon would be greatly the gainer thereby.' For some days Peter Cox was sore and morose. He saw the work com menced on the factory without his as sistance and he feared he should have bnt little business for some time to come. He had at first been inclined to think very hard of Summer Wil- 1 kins; but when he came to reflect more calmly he thought differently. He could not wonder that the man had been repulsed by his rudeness. It was Saturday afternoon and Peter was in the shop doing nothing but thinking, when some one entered. | He looked up and saw Mr. Wilkins. i 'How d'ye do ?' said the capitalist. 'How d'ye do ?' returned the builder, i 'You are not very busy, I take it,' I added Wilkins. A quick, rough answer was making its way to Peter's lips ; but he did not speak it. He recollected himself in season. He had taken a solemn obligation upon himself that he would not allow any more such words to go out from his mouth upon his fellow meu. 'No, sir,' he replied, as soon as the old spirit had been quelled ; I am not very busy now.' 'Perhaps you would like to work for me.' 'As you wish it.' 'Well,' said Wilkins, 'I am in want of help, and should like to employ you. I meant to have employed you before; and perhaps you can imagine why I did not. However,' he added, as he saw Peter's countenance fall, 'there is no need of referring to that only for the lesson it teaches. I felt the cut of your rudeness very deeply, and the more so because I could not nee where in 1 bad given you uny occasion for it.' 'I WHS rude,' returned Peter frankly; 'and, as you hare intimated, I found a lesson in the result; und I hope I may profit by it.' 'That's enough sir. And so we'll let the past go.' Wilkius extended his hand as he spoke, and Peter grasped it warmly. 'And now,' the visitor continued, 'let's come to your business. The man whom I engaged to superintend the erection of my mill has so much other business that ho would be spared from this; so if you will take it I will let him go.' Of course Peter took it; and when the mill was done, HO well and faith fully had he performed his work, that he hud more offers of valuable contracts than he could possibly attend to. But Peter Cox did not forget the prime secret of his new success, lie knew that be was eminently qualified as an architect and builder; but this was not ali. lie also knew that the first lesson be had leurned was the most vuluable one—that investment he had mude was yielding him the greatest interest. And, moreover, the income from the politeness which he had come to possess was not ull gross und material. No, no—one of its highest and purest fruits was that which remained with him to bless him wherever he went. Kottirantcd. iMessrs. Uorbett and Murphy, ex- Commissioners of Armstrong county, made application to Judge Neale, shortly, to strike off the judgment cer tified against them by the County Auditors, on account of illegal infor mation. The motion was argued before Judge Neale, Monday and Tuesday of this week, and on Wednesday morning the Judge filed an elaborate opinion reviewing the matter, and refused their motion. Unless the ex-Commis sioners take an appeal from the decis ion of the Court before the 21st of April, the judgment certified by the Auditors becomes final. Should the ex-Commissioners conclude to appeal it will be necessary for them to li!e bail bonds to double the amount now charged against them, therefore the county will be safe either way. The best legal talent of the county has been engaged on this suit and the attornies for the ex-dommissioners worked hard to upset the Auditors' Report, but,thus fur were unsuccessful, conclusive evi dence that the legal light engaged by the Auditors were men of ability, well versed in law points. Much praise should be given to the County Audit ors and their legal advisors Messrs. .1 P. Colter and <J S. Crosby for the able manner in which they have de feuded the tax payers of Armstrong county uguinst the high bunded care lessness if nothing worse of the ex- Commissiouera, whereby nearly twenty thousand dollars had been, or proposed to be stolen from the county treasury. —l'arlcr.r Phirnix, April 21.

I Parliue Iroiu the Bible Soelel) The great body of christian l)elievera in this country known as the Baptist denomination I as broken at last from the powerful religious corporation, the American Bible Society, representing all other Protestant denominations The cause of the separation has been the revised edition of the New Testa ment. which, in the opinion of Baptist divines and other scholars, does not present the subject oi baptism in the spirit of the original text. After a careful consideration of all the differ ences and after repeated conferences with the Bible Society the Baptists have resolved that "aoy union or co operation with the American Bible Society is now impossible" and havo taken some important steps a? the re sult of that conclusion. They have already published in this city several editions of the New Testament as last revised, introducing into the body of the work, however, all the readings of the American revisers and discarding the English. These renderings, among other differences from the work published by the American Bible So sciety, instead of saying "baptize with 1 water,' give 'baptize in water,' ard are therefore in conformity with the doc trine which- Baptists teach and are as 1 accepted. DEVISING WAYS AND MEANS. As the issue of this edition is ex pensive, involving a greater cost than the other Bibles can be bad from the Bible Society, the extent to which their publication and distribution will be carried depends upon a question of ways and means. A meeting has been arranged, to take place in New York on Thursday evening next, 'to agree upon measures,' as is said in the letters flent out, 'that will command the confidence of the entire Baptist denomination, that will meet promptly the pressing demands for the Scrip tures and especially supply the wants of six millions of freedtuen, a great | majority of whom are counected with our denomination and have claims ' upon us as Baptists.' If this meeting carries out what is expected of it the | new Baptist Bibles containg the literal | translation of the American divines and scholars—only two of whom were Baptists, by the way—will be printed and circulated on an extensive scale, although the basis ol supply and dis tribution for home use at lirst will be ' copies of the old King J union version, I purchased in large quantities from lli*i American Bible Society. While the Baptists will cuiitiuue Id buy from the Bible Society copies of the old version they reserve the right to issue a dif ferent revised edition of their owa and do not mean to let the Bible Society do their missionary distribution for them, but will take up that work them selves and push it with all tho energy and persistency they can command. If a revised edition is to be put into tbe bands of the millions of negroes of the south just beginning to read, the Baptists say that they do not want it to be one which will invalidate or question the accuracy of the position they hold, that immersion baptism is one'of tbe first Christian qualifications. THE BAPTISTS' ABUU.WENT. As an argument against their treat ment at the bands of the Bible Society the Baptists have defined their posi tion in a statement as follows : Uod honored tho Haptists by mak ing them the leaders in the modern missionary enterprise and in tho work of giving the Bible to the world. Wil liam Carey, a Baptist, was the first modem missionary. 110 and his as sociates published and translated the Bible in the luuguag A of more than one-third of the human race, and, as expressed by tho London Quarterly Review, 'did more for spreading the Scriptures among tho heathen than had ever beeu accomplished or even attempted by all the world besides.' Joseph Hughes, a Baptist minister, was the chief organizer of the British and Foreign Bible Society and was its secretary as long as ho lived. Bap tists were prominent in founding and enriching the American Bible Society These great societies aided in circulat ing the versions of Carey and Judson until in an evil hour and in a sectarian spirit further help was refused, except on condition* humiliating to Baptists and at the expense of their convictions. Baptists were then compelled to work alone, and for years they exhibited great zeal and abundant liberality. Divisions subsequently caused their zeal to languish, and for twenty years past they have done nothing worthy ofsoirreata body of Christians with such a history. Baptists were earnest and efficient in promoting the work of procuring a corrected version of the Knglish New Testament, which re sulted in the recently 'revised' uditioa. The American revisers, but two of whom were Baptists, hove furnished a version which uniformly teaches that believers wore baptised in water. This revision, which does so much honor to the Christian scholarship and candor of the American committee, and is the most perfect edition of the New Testament, has lieen published and widelv circulated by our Baptist Publication Society Haptlstn were lend to believe, recently, by men not Baptists, prominent in the councils of the American Bible Society, that the barriers to their return would Ist re moved—that Baptists once drivou out would be welcome back. Later events have shown that while there are many in that society who regret what was formerly done, any union or co-o|s?ru tion of Baptists with the Americun Bible Society is now impossible. ritI!ITI<EHH RKKORTH TO PREVENT IT. The tranalationa of Carey and Jud aon were made in 1835, nearly fifty ycura ago, and were both from the original (ireek. iludaOn translated in to Burroose and Carey into Hlndos tanee and they each made the verb baptize to mean 'in' the water. Carey waa associated with the British Bible Society and J tuition with the Ameri can. When the aocietica found out how they bad translated baptism tbey refused to pay for printing the Bibles I and the translatora had to fall back on the Baptists, wLo o g nizei a Foreign Bible Society of their own. The work j of distributing the foreign translations has since bet-u done by the American Baptist Missionary Union and the dis ' triliution for tbe home field by tbe American Baptist Publishing Society 'A year ago,' says tbe Rev. G. J. Johnson, tbe missionary secretary in charge of foreigu Bible work, 'we sup- I posed the Bible Society was going to I be more liberal and co-operate with us !in foreign translation, but they have j lately reaffirmed their old position, leaving us nothing to do but go to j work ourselves. The new version we I consider unfair to us. The old Bible j was good enongh for us. It pimply said, 'baptize,' and on that our denom ination has grown from 25,000 at the birth of our country to 2,250,000. List year wo distributed 30,000 copies of thu Scriptures, mostly New Testaments.' The Ilev. l)r. Griffiths tbe chief secretary of the American Baptist Publication Society, an organization fifty-eight years old, with property and investments of half a million of dollars, says that if the reunion and reorganization of all Baptists, North and South, for .Bible work, which is expected, takes place, the denomina tion will have no trouble furnishing its own Bibles everywhere that they are needed. The call for the New York meeting is signed by somo of the wealthiest and most influential mem bers of the Baptist persuation in tbe United States. Tiro Speech©*. A practical jokor is justly served when his victim pays him in bis own > coin. Among the humors of tbe "stump" is told a capital instance of this sort of retribution. The charac ters in the story were tbe late Senator Morton and Gen. George A. Sheridan of Louisiana. Some years ago when Mr. Morton made a famous campaign in Indiaua, ho was accompanied by Gen. Sheri dan. The Senator's health was at that time yery poor, and whenever he did not feel equal to making his speech Mr Sheridan took bis place. Upon one occasion, both orators were to deliver speeches, and Mr. Mor ton, who had a remarkable memory, by way of a joke, delivered Sheridan's speech The ground being thus taken from under the General's feet, ho was for a moment nonplussed. Hut as soon as the fpplauso had died away he arose and began to deliver Mr. Morton's speech. In this speech Morton discussed Urn subject of hard and soft money, aud bail a dramatic way of producing a sil ver dollar and a greenback. Sheridan hud so often heard the speech that ho was able to imitato it exactly. Thrust ing bis baud into ono pocket he pro duced a dollar uote, and holding it up to the audience, exclaimed, — 'Whit is this ? Is this money? No, r.:y fellow-citizens, this is not inonoy. Lot me read it to you: 'The United States promises to pay bearer one dol lar.' That is not money. That is merely a promise to pay money.' When Mr. Morton was making this speech, and arrived at this point, he would return the note to his pocket aud produce a silver dollar. Sheridan was about to do *,he same thing, bnt found to his dismay that he had no silver dollar with him. The audience began to titter at this, when Sheridan, turning to Morton, who was listening to his own speech, said,— 'Senator, lend me that silver dollar which you use when you deliver this speech!' It is needless to say that this was as good as a play to the audionce.— New York Sun. A citizen who had an office In tho top story of a block bad half a ton of coal dumped on the walk the other day, and the cart had not yet disappeared when a boy came puffing up tho stairs and called out: 'Say, want that coal luggjd up?' 'That's no way to address a person,' replied the man. 'Why don't you ad dress me in a civil and polito man ner?' 'Dunno how,' answered the boy. 'Well, I'll show you. Sit down here and suppose you are the owner of the office and I am the boy who wants lo bring up your coal.' Ho stepped into the hall and knocked on thn door and as the boy cried, 'como in,' the man entered the room with his hat in his hand and began: 'lieg pardon, sir, but you huve some coal on the walk below.' ' Yes.' 'Shall I bring it up for you ?' 'Oh, certainly!' 'How much will you pay?' 'Well,' replied the boy, as he looked around at the scanty furniture, 'I gen orally promise n boy fifteen cents and shove n bogus quarter on him but see ing its you, und are the only support of a large family, if you'll brin* up that coal for me I'll give you my whole in come for a year and a httlf and a pair of old boots in tho bargain.'

I Is anything stranger than the hu man heart? Nature sends a frail, green vine creeping across the earth to reach a grim wall and cover it with life. We bless nature as we see these things, and yet we do not realize that i human hearts are ever doing the sama. ' One day, months ago, a rosy-faced child looking from a window saw a queer old man go limping past. It tapped on the pane and the old man looked up. The sight of that sweet face opened his old heart, and he went on his way feeling richer than for many a month past. He was tbe grim wall—tbe child was the trreen vine, lie passed again, and again the child was at the window, and for days and weeks they never missed seeing each other. At each meeting the vine crept nearer to the wall—the wall appeared less grim and forbidding. | One day the "wall" laid aside his old hat for a bet ter one. Another day he had a new coat. Again he was clean shaved, and the "vino" scarcely recognized him. No one knew the old man, but all knew that he was feeling the in fluence of the vine. A week ago as the old man passed he missed the face at the window. Was he too early or too late? He lingered and looked and seemed lost. It was the same next day, but a kind heart pitied him and sent word that the child was sick. The green vine had reached the wall only to be blight ed. Two days more aud there was crape on tho door. Tho child was dead. It had fallen asleep in death without a struggle, knowing nothing of tho grand hereafter, but having no fear. On its pale cheek was a tear—a single tear which glistened like a diamond. Xo hand dared wipe that tear away. It seemed n tie between the present and the past—the living and the dead. 'Please can I see the—the child ?' It was the old man—the grim wall— who knocked timidly at the door and spoke thus. They knew him by sight, end they led him into the room where the vine lay dead. He stood over the coffin for a moment lips quivering and eyes full ot tears, and then he bent over and kissed the face which would watch for him no more. When he had gone away they looked tor the tear, lie had kissed awav! Old and poor and unknown, he had reached a treas ure such as nil the millions of tho world eould not buy.—- Detroit Wer Prrn*. An 011-IIIIIMI M'liy lo JMciiHim* mi Acre. Few farmer ' know the site of their fields or how many acres they contain. A itold of the writer's before it came into his possession had been plowed und reaped by contract for fifteen acres. On measuring it, it was found to have but twelve acres. It is desirable, iu fact indispensable for good work, that a farmer should know how many acres each field contains, for other wise he cannot apportion seed or manure for it, nor can ho tell how much time it should require to be plowed. A measuring cord should bo part of tho furniture on every farm. To make one, procure sixty-seven foot of strong ropo, one inch aound ; make a loope or fasten a ring or a bar at each end, and make these precisely sixty-six feet apart. Then tie a piece of red rag in the centre. One acre of rroun 1 will be a piece four of the cords (chuins) long and two and one-half wide, equal to sixteen by ten rods, making IflO square rods to one acre. The advantage of the ring or loop is that one person can measure alone by driving a stake iu the ground to hold the rope while bo stretches it out. Tho ropo should bo soaked in tar and dried, which will prevent it from shrinking when wet. I always keep your medicines in stock.
