SELECT.
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.

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

Commissiouera, whereby nearly twenty
thousand dollars had been, or proposed
to be stolen from the county treasury.

I B IPTISTS' OM VERSION.
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

of old boots in tho bargain.'
'Hoy, what do you mean?' demand
ed the man as he (lushed up.
Itut the boy dodged him arid reach
led tho stsirs, and as he paused at one
of the lundings to look up, lie called
out:

I Is anything stranger than the hu

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

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.
