THE SUNSET'S GATE.

BY J. C. A. In they came, rariug and tumbling. ita faces and voices forlorn. With hair all toss'd and disheveled. And garments all streaming and torn. "For.oh'said the weary children. "We have rambled afar to-night, Along the path by the river. Where the meadow-sweet flowers are white "And we've climbed the hill of the fairies, Where, they say. if you only wait. You will see, on a Summer's evening, The opening of sunset's gate; "And the wondrous magic castles, With turrets of jewels and gold. And kntehtc in their glittering armor. Like the stories of days of old. "When. oh. such a radiance mother. Came flooding all through the air! Everthing around grew golden fiold above, beyond, everywhere; "And far away in the distance, A I shaded my eyes with my hand, Not castles we children speak of, But the gates of the Better Land. "But the way was hot and dustv. And the hill was so hard to climb. With tangle of briars and brushwood. We took such a weary time, '.'That when we had reached the summit All was dreary and chill and gray: No vestige of pold or crimson The castle had faded away." Then a voice came from little Army, With a happy secret confessed: "I am not sUong, like the others. So i could not climb with the rest. "I tat down beside the river To wait, on a mos.-y stone, f could not help giving a little, As I found iu) elf all alone ; "For I saw bright bands of angels. With their wiugs all radiant white. And I think 1 heard their singing; They will come in my dreams to-night." The mother smiled as she listened. While she comforted and caressed. And saw each tired wanderer Gathered safe iu the household nest. She sat in the fading twilight. As the murmur of Day grew still. And thought how life rinds an emblem In the children climbing the hill. Ah. the dreary ways we traverse Through the storm and tempest and heatr Ah, the briars which clog our footsteps. And the stones which bruise our feet! As we pant and toil and struggle For the long-cherished hopes of years As vain, alas! as the castles The children bemoaned m their tears We find but the chill of failure. Disappointment, and sorrow's blight. While the evening's creeping shadows Tells of death's approaching night. But, thank tiod. there comes so often. To the patient hearts that wait. The gleam of God's blessed angels Through the opening of Heaven's Gate. Good Words. MAliniY'S 1V00IXG. The Romance of a Winter Evening. Boston Courier. "We lived not two mile from a busy little city whose bells, mellowed by water for the river ran between it and us blew cheerily over to our ears; whose roofs ami steeples flashed in our eyes all day under the warm sunshine; and whose lights, red and glancing, cheered our sense of isolation on lonely night. We were isolatedfindeed. There was no house on either side. The village at our back was as far away as the city in our face, and on either side of us were waste land, through which ran the wide, white turnpike, climbing high hills, and getting lost between tall trees as it left the river. In the daytime wheels rumbled busily enough along its track in summer, and in the winter sleighs and farm sleds, with their merry bell-. But after nightfall few vehicles passed, with the exception of the belated stage, which, with its gleaming lanterns, was an enchanted spectacle to us children as it rolled away into the unseen country beyond. No travelers were abroad, especially in the winter evening3, with the exception of tramp?, but these were sometimes numerous ;and ai our house stood upon the top of a high hill, its lights were seen at a long distance, and beckoned all sorts of vagrants to our door. It was a wild February evening, with a fierce northeaster hurling a blinding sheet of snow against the windows, hiding and mufUirg the city noise and lights, and obliterating all signs of the highway in its drift and whirl, i'eeling as far removed from the world as if we were keeping a lighthouse on a desolate island, the family were congre gated in the wide, low wailed sitting-room, which was cheerful enough with lamplight and fire, in spite of the imprisoned feelings which a snow storm will give even those who live in thickly populated neighborhoods. One pl .yed on the piano the fitful, half-sad, halt-merry strains of an old waltz. One worked with an air of absorbtion in bright-colored worsteds, while all the others, with the exception of us children, were contentedly walled behind books and newspapers. Ilaving been kept in the house all day by the storm, we were beginning to find picture books and dolls monotonous, and not being alive to the beauty of the passionate strains of Chopin, we retired to the kitchen hoping to find "Marthy," our chief help, in a sto y-telling mood. But one glance at her face assured us that the situation was hopeless. Her fingers were engaged in too solemn operation to allow such frivolous use of her tongue at the same time. She was sewing Methodist buttons on to a Methodist apron, with strong, even Methodist thread. That is, to speak more intelligibly, she was making an apron for the fair in aid of the Methodist church across the river, of which " she was a member, with buttons and thread which came from the store of a Methodist brother. Marthy scorned to sev with secular thread; she seemed to think that her labors would not be blessed in that case, and as for buttoning her garments with secular buttons, it was not to be thought of for a moment. So, though the buttons sne was fastening to the child's apron were much too large and coarse for the delicate blue cambric of which it was fashioned, that it came from the Methodist brother's establishment, and the orphan who was to wear it would not be buttoned out of the Gospel, were sufficient reasons to her for using them instead of procuring more suitable ones at another shop. Marthy she would not allow any one to pronounce her name .Martha was always doing things in tho Gospel. Fifteen years before when she bought her black silk she still called it her new black silk my mother advised her to discard thofrail and extremely ugly and unsuitable buttons which she bought at Turner's the Methodist store, for those of a better quality which could bo procured at the largest establishment in town. ''Should like them better buttons. Miss Jones," said she, "the best is alius cheapest in the end, I calcilate, but I don't hold to . buvin' of 'em out of the Gospil, 'n Turner earn t afford to keep no better, meetin' is poor, you know," Folks in our But you bought your dress at Hunt's," said my mother, half puzzed, half amused. Yis, I hed to do that or go without the eownd. Turner don't hev silk, but I'm kinder 'Iraid 'twas extravagant buyin' of it at all; 'n sinful, too, to pay so much money out 'o mv own meetin'. Goodness knows I am keerful enuff as a general thing about paying out anything what ain't strictly useful, though, an' I do kinder injoy the silk Sundays, 'or it s the fust one 1 ever hed. elder's wife, thet's the salt of the Even the earth 'n dredful unwourldly, wears one. But, Miss Jone, ef I should buy the buttons at Hunt's, too, I should feel as if I was but toned clean out o' the Gospil, true's you live. You see flunt's gains goes to s'port wordliness 'n frivolty, but Turner, what he gits, poor soul, goes to the Gospil." Mv mother did not exactly understand this, as it was well known that all poor Turner's gains vhich did not go for bread and butter were spent by his dissolute son in riotous living; but ehe said nothing, and Marthy wore lengths of purple Methodist

ribbon to hide the ugly bnttons. "When I marry I shall marry in the Gospil," she very frequently said, with unconquerable determination. And she was still preparing for matrimony, and had been for thirty years or more (she was past fifty now) with the most matter-of-course zeal and prudence. The stock of household linen which she was storing away from yer to year was something remarkable, and though a great deal of it had grown old and yellow with age, she was very fond of displaying it to her admiring friends, and was not in the slightest degree disturbed by any unfounded and ill-natured insinuations that she might never have any u-e for these household treasures. Marthy had not been without her oppor-

I tun i ties it is true. She was not beautiful to look upon, her features having the appearance of being unnaturally elongated, like a face in the bowl of a spoon, a queer, candle-mould figure, and a skin both red and wrinkled, like tha of a froät-bitten apple. But she was as industrious as a bee, neat as wax, and her friend remarked, 4 she was spry as a cricket, 'n didn't 'pear no older than she did twenty ers ago." Then, though she did work for a living, she was by no means obliged to do so. She possessed quite a fortune, well invested in bank and railroad stock, and was quite famous in her "meetin" as a woman of means. In the first place the railroad had seen lit to cross one corner of the snug little piece of land bv tho river which her father had left her when he died twenty-five years before. Then they took a notion to build wharves on the remainder ot the land as the little city increased in size, and Marthy shrewdly held on to her possessions up in that direc tion. Then she cot what prices she saw fit to demand for it; and found herself richer and of more consequence than she had ever dreamed of being, even in her extravagant youth, when she wildly asp.red to marry a fresiding tlder. "But 'taint no sign that I should set'n twiddle my thumbs coz I've got a little property,' she said, and she still kept house for Deacon Hobbs, who lived out in the country and was a widower with seven children. D?acon Hobbs expressed himself of the opinion that they had better marry as they got along so well together, but Marthv felt obliged to differ with him on this point. "I could n t never feel jestined in inerrm out o mv own meetin'.' she sighed. 4,If you was a deacon p' the Methxlist Church 'stead o' the Baptist I might consider the matter." Since she had lived at our house, a period ol sixteen years or so, the household on several occasions had fallen into quite a panic for fear of losing this neat, deft-hande l servant. At one time it was a sturdy young farmer from the back country; at one time it was the stage driver, who had taken shelter from a wild storm in her kitchen, and had fallen in love with her equash pies. Aud at another time it was a tin peddler, between whom and Marthy the rag trade had progressed with a tender smoothness which was amazing, considering the native shrewdness of both. But after a few weeks of most earnest and devoted courtship, each of these admirers, emulating the Arabs, folded his tent, that is got into his wagon, and silently stole away, haunting our back door-yards no more when the witching hour of twiligh; made shadows of the lilac and syringa bushes by the kitchen windows. But never since my memory, had a lover appeared to woo sur gray-haired maid, and I arn sure that Marthy's friends considered her situation hopeless, as far as matrimony was concerned, in spite of her money and her thrift, for the unmarried men in the "meetin " were all too young. Marthy scorned youthful iwains, and for some unaccountable reason the elder men died before their wives, and a widower was a being unknown. On this particular evening Marthy was all alone in the kitchen, the hired man being occupied with a sick horse in the stables, and Pheby, her assistant, of wnom 6he contemptuously epose as ''that hired girl," had become the victim of a toothache and gone home lor a few days. Marthy did not approve cf 'hired girls." "Oh, Marthy, do tell us a story," I exclaimed, determined at least not to give up this pleasure without making an effort. 'Git outl I dont know no stories, 'n don't you see I'm busy on work much more important than story telling?" "Why, Martha, you know heaps of them. Tell us how your house was all covered up with snow once, and you liked to smothered. "Children shouldn't never contradict. I ain't agoin' to tell no stories, 'taint profitable." Here the sound of heavy footsteps on the doorsteps arrested her speech, and a lond rap at the back door caused her to drop her work and hastily repair to har sitting room. "Mr. Jones 1 wish you would be kind ernutl to go to the back door," she said to my father, "bornebody knocked, 'n 1 leel kinder skittish to-night, 1 m sure 1 Kent tell why." 'It's some tramp who has lost his way in the storm, I suppose," said father, hastening to investigate. The wind rushed in at the open door piercing cold, and hurling & great cloud of sleet and snow. Nothing was to be seen but darkness, through the blinding drifts, but on being invited to walk in the darkness took the shape of a little man very much tied up in mufflers, and wearing a rustic and rather shabby looking overcoat. Bee your pardon for iLtrudir.' sr. but you see I've got lost in the itorin. 1; does storm considerable." This wo thought was stating the case mildly. "It stormed when I but home, the stranger continued. I live in Whitneyville, out back here, but ny darter lives over to the city, n seem' ez her husband was away, n' I could as well not, I thought I'd go'n spend the Sabbath with her, n' here I be dependent on cherity fur a night's lodging. My old mare was lame, you see, else I should ha' drive her'n reached my destination afore now, but " "Yes, I think you might have," said father, smiling. "But sit up to the fire and warm yourself, you must be very cold and very much exhausted, too. I'll bring a glass of brandy, and " ''No, sir, thank you, but no spirit for me. I'm dretful ahainst drink, though occashunc may be pressin'. I would like er cup of toa, though, seein' as 1 hain't hed no supper nor nothin'." Marthy, who had folded her work with a sigh, and with sad resignation to her duty in aiding the unfortunate. had procured meat and a very dry piece of dried apple pie from the pantry, on hearing sentiments against "spirit" which her soul approved, hastily substituted a whole mince pie for the un favorable piece of dried appl3, and cut a loaf l ot fresh bread. But she did not favor I tramps of any kind, and prepared the repast, even for this light of temperance, with the air of a martyr. Father went back into the sittinc-room, and the little mm, who had a bald head fringed by a row of -light auburn curls streaked with gray, and very rosy cheeks, began to be conversational. "Sorry to trouble you, I'm sure, marm," he said, rubbing his hands and speaking in a soft, drawling tone, which he evidently in tended to be polite. Marthy regarded him with a look which said, plainly enough, "Well, you certainly ought to be. My daughter, Mrs. Jooly Stebbint 'll be dretful put out by my not appearin' at her h.use to-night. With her husband up river and her little girl sick, she won't enjoy the conserlations of tho Sabbath to-morrow very much. I'm afeared. "Sakes alive 1 is Mrs. Jooly Stebbins your daughter? Why, she belones to my meet ing," exclaimed Marthy, with a countenance changing to sudden graciousness. And seizin cr the teapot which she had placed upon the stove, filled with the cold

tea which was left for eupper, she instantly disposed of its contents by the way of the waste bucket, and proceed dOtnake a fresh draught, using the fragrant hyson generously. "bho, glad to meet you, sister. The Goepil

is a sacred tie that binds us altogether in love. When I meet a sister in the gospil feel as if I had been acauainted with her a alwavs." The acquaintance was surely progressing and Marthv was deeply touched. "Which kind er preserves do you like best, damson or strawberry. Brother 1 forgit the name?" "Brother Parker, mann. Preserves is im material, yet I might say strawberry, if I was to be pressed Lemme see, 1 ve heard Joolv sneak of the friends she has made since she came to the city to live. There's one, Miss Marthy Hopkins, thet she seemed to be dretful fond of. They say she s a charitable lady 'n imminently pious. Marthv blushed like a eirl. -I'm Marthy Hopkins, myselfc 'n I set great store by Jooly, too; as lur the rest. Brother, we hain't none of us perfec'. The human heart is deceitful 'n desperately wicked." Brother Parker expressed a great deal of delighted surprise. "I feel ter home now.' said he. "more ter home than es if I was in my own house, in fact, for it's dretful lonesome there since Abbv died. Lernme 6ee. your husban "I never had no husband," said Marthy, cherrullv. at the same time tvins a spotless j , - w white apron, with, a girlish trimming of pink, over the dark calico one which she alwavs wore unless it were a holiday, and sttaling an anxious glance in the lookiagglass Brother Parker looked astonished. As if the wily little man wasn't acquainted with her whole history, as if he hadn't planned to spend the Sabbath with Jooly solely on her account. To be sure, he had not intended to make her acquaintance that evening, but the fates had been propitious and stranded him at the door. "Don't yea mver feel kinder lonesome?" he inquired, with a deeply tender tone and glance between two mouthfuls of chicken. "Women ain't tit to brave the sorrers of life alone." Marthy cast down her eyes with a look of prim propriety. Maidens should be mild and meek, Swift to hear aud slow to apeakl 'AVell, yes, I do, sometimes," she confessed falteringly, after a little pause '-But, then, I hold it's sinful to repine, 'n I'm too busy, generally speakin' to know whether I'm lonesome or not." "I dare say, but then it's natural for a woman to cling." Marthy looked a little grim, and Brother Parker saw that he was on the right track. Now I should enjoy this excellent meal a good deal better ef I had somebvidy a settin' opposite to me at the table. Contrary to Scriptures, bread eat in secrit hain't pleasure for me. S'posin you set down here ef you don't like ealin inuch of anvthing." "1 shawl" exclaimed Marthy with a blush and a nervous giggle. Nevertheless she did as he requested, and Brother Parker was so engaged in making eyes at her over the top of the urn, that he put mustard in his tea instead of upon the cold meat, and committed all sorts of eccentricities. "Now, hain't this cosy?" he said, as the meal progressed, after the state of the Church and the warmth and coldness of the meetings had been discussed. Marthy smilingly admitted that it was. "Just like a little bit of Heaven aforehand," he continued. Don't you think. sein s we are both oi us alone in tne woria, and members of one family in the Gospil, we d better jine hands 'n pull on together through life 'n alius set opposite on tother same's we are now?" They were not opposite each other, for the brother had hitched his chair by degrees until it had quite reached Marthy' side, but that made no difference. One expects flights of the imagination in the speech of an ardent lover. 'Well, I don't know what 'twould be for the best. The Gospil seems to pint that way." And Marthy blushingly allowed one arm of the brother to remain around her waist while the other aided in the employment of eating plum cake. A tew moments later, one of the family suddenly opening the door, behold this astonishing scen6 in wide-mouthed horror and amazement. But Marthy was equal to the occasion. Quickly extracting herself from the embrace of her joyous lover, she rose to her fret and spoke with more than her usual majesty. "I spose I may as well give Miss Jones warnin' now as any time. I alius said how I wasn't never goin' to marry out er the Gospil, 'n so I hain't!" "What a romance," said my father, when he heard the tale. "Well, the brother did reach his destination, after all." An Old Saw A dear little maid came skipping out In the glad new day with a merry shoot; With dancing feet and with flowing hair She sang with joy in the morning air. "Don't slug before breakfast, you'll cry before night V What a croak, to darken the child's delight! Aud the stupid old nurse, again and' again, Kepeatd the ancient dull refrain. The child panned, trying to understand; But her eyes saw the great world rainbow-spanned; Her light little feet hardly touched the earth. And her soul brimmed ovi r with innocent mirth. "Never mind don't listen 0 sweet little maid! Make sure ot your morning song," I said; "And if pain must meet you, why, all the more Be glad of the rapture that came before. "O, tears and sorrow are plenty enough. Storms may be bitter and paths be rough, nut our tears should fall like the dear earth showers. To help to ripen the fruits and flowers. 'So gladden the day with your blissful song. Sing on while you may, dear, sweet and strong! Make sure of your moment of pure delight. No matter what trials may come before night." Celia Thaxtek. Edmund Kean. IBelgravia.J From his early practice in pantomiiru Edmund Kean derived, no doubt, much of the ease and grace of attitude and gesture he displayed as a tragedian. Uazlitt specially commends the actor's impressive and Titanesque postures, yet objects to the gesture ho employed as Iago in the last scene of "Othello." when he malignantly pointed to the corpses of the Moor's victims. "It is not in the character of the part, which consists in the love of mischief, not as an end, but as a means. Besides, it is not in the text of Shakespeare." When Kean as Kichard. in his familiar colloquy with Buckingham, crossed his hands behind his back, certaiu critics held the action to be "too natural;'' while his pugilistic gestures in the concluding scene, though censured by some., were much applauded bv others. Hazlitt wrote of him: "He fought like one drunk with wounds, and the attitude in which he stands with his hands stretched out, after hi sword i taken from him, had a preternatural and terrific grandeur, as if his will could not be disarmed, and the very phantoms of his despair had a withering power." Dr. Dören has noted certain of the actor's 'grand moments," when, at the cloße of his career, he appeared a pitiable sight: "Genius was not traceable in that bloated face; intellect was all but quenched in those once matchless eyes; he moved only with difficulty, using his sword as a stick." Yet there arose a murmur of approbation at the pause and action of his extended arm when he said as though consigning all tho lowering clouds to the sea "in the deep bosom of the ocean .buried I" The words, "The dogs bark at me as I halt by them," were so suited with action as to elicit a round of applause. Mr. Gould's es

says upon the hi trionic genius of Junius Brutus Booth make frequent mention of the "manual eloquence" the impropriate "band-

play of tbe tragedian, ana nis inventiveness in that respect. WThen as Shylock, re plying to Salarino s question touching Antonio's flesh, "What that good for?" he said ''To bait fish withal, he was wont, in his tamer moods, to employ a "gesture ai is holding a fishinff-rod." When as Cassius he said of Casar, "His coward lips did from their color fly." Booth illustrated the text by a momentary action as though he were carrying a standard, "lhe movement was fine as giving edge to the sarcaam,'' but te essayist admits "pointed to a redundancy i: action which sometimes appeared in this great actor's personations, marking the excess in him, however, of those high histrionic powers, keen feeling and shapiog imagination." Further, Booth's Cassius wa "sig nalized by one action of characteristic ex cellence and originality. Alter the mur der of Caesar, Booth "strole right across tbe dead body, and out of the scene in silent and disdainful triumph. As Iago when saying, 'Such a handkerchief (I am sure it was jo ir wife's) did I to-day See Cassio wipe his beard with," Booth, while pretending to lay his hand n his heart "to enforce asseveration,'' tucked away more securely in his doublet the very handkerchief which "with fiendish purpose he intended Cassio should wipe his beard with." When he exclaimed, "The Moor; I know his trumpet," he seemed to imitateJA" . . ' A - . . . J . very souna oi tne instrument; "tosscu ii from his lips with the careless grace of an accomplished musician." When as Othello he declared, "I know not where is that Pomethean heat," it was as though the adjective had but just occurred to him, and the passage was "accompanied by a wander ing and questioning gesture." At the words, "It is tho very error of the moon; she comes more near the earth than she wa? wont," etc., his gesture "seemed to figure tbe faith of the Chaldean and to bring the moon morfltiuiar." He slew himself by means of a dagger he had worn concealed in his turban. Daniel Webster's First Plea. Kbenezer Webster, father of Daniel, was a farmer. The vegetables in his garden suf fered considerably from the depredations of a woodchuck whose hole and habitation was near the premises. Daniel, some ten years old, and his brother set a trap, and at last succeeded in catching the trespasser. Ezekiel proposed to Kill the animal and end at once all further trouble with him, but Daniel looked with compassion upon the meek, dumb captive, and offered to let him go. The boys could not agree, and each appealed to their father to decide the case. "Well, my boys," said the old gentleman, "I will be the Judge and you shall be the counsel for and against his life and liberty." hzekiel opened the case with a strong ar gument, urging the mischievous nature of the animal, the treat harm he had already done, said that much time and labor had been spent in his capture, and now, if suffered to eo at large, he would renew his iepredations, and be cunning enough not to be caught again, and that he ought now to be put to death; that his skin was of some value, and that, make the most of him they could, it would not repav half the damage he bad al read v done. His argument was read)', practical and to the point, and of much greater length than our limit will allow us to occupy in relating the story. The father looked with pride upon his son, who became a distinguished jurist in hismanhood. "Now, Daniel, it's your turn; I'll hear what you've got to say." It was his first case. Daniel saw that the plea of his brother had sensibly affected his lather, the Judge; and his large, brilliant black eyes rested upon the soft, timid, exEression of the animal, and he saw it trenile with fear in its narrow prison house. His heart swelled with pitv. and he appealed with eloquent words thet the captive might go free. God, he said, had made the woodchuck. He made him to live to enjoy the bright sunshine, and pure air, the fields, the woods. God had not made him or anything in vain. Ihe woodchuck has as much right to live as any other living thing; he was not destructive animal, like the wolf; he simply ate a few common vegetables, of whicn they had plenty and could well spare i part: he destroyed nothing except the ittle food he ate to sustain his humble ife; and that food was as sweet to him and as necessary to his existence as was to them the food on their mothers table. God furnished their own food. He eave them all they possessed, and would they not spare a little for a dumb creature who really had as much right to his small share of "God's bounty as they themselves had to their portion? Yea, more, the tfnimal had never violated the laws of his nature, or the laws of God, as man often did, but strictly fol lowed the simple instincts he had received from the Creator of all things. Created by God's hands, he had a right from God to food, to liberty, and they had no right to ueErive him of either. He alluded to the mute ut earnest pleading of the animal for that life as dear to him as were their own. and the just judgment they might expect if in selfish cruelty and cold-hearted ness, they took the life they could not restore again. During the appeal the tears had started in the old man's eyes, and were fast running. down his sunburnt cheeks. Every feeling of a father's heart was stirred within him, and he felt that God had blessed hira beyond the lot of common men. His pity was awakend by the eloquent words of compassion and the strong appeal for mercy; and, forgetting the Judge in tne man and the father, he sprang from his chair (while Daniel was in the midst of his argument, without thinking he had already won his case), and, turning to his eldest son, dashing the tears from his eyes, he exclaimed: "Zeke, Zeke, you let that woodchuck go!" Quinces, oranges and apples make the best marmalade. Apples make a very nice foundation for marmalades, flavoring with other fruits. One large pineapple or two or three quinces (or the peelings and cores of the latter left from preserves), to half a peck of apples make it very nice. If apples are used alone they should be washed and cut in quarters, leaving both peelings and cores to give it a flavor. If used with other fruiC peel and core. Put the apples into a porcelain or granite iron kettle; if flavored with other fruit add that also. Pour in just water enough to prevent its sticking, half a fnnt will be enough to half a peck of fruit; et it cook till soft enough to mash easily, then cool and sift it. A large mixing box is nice to sift 5 1 intc never use tin for any fruit. When sifted measure it, and to each pint allow a pound of sugar. Put together in the kettle and heat gradually, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Let it boil gently for three quarters of an hour, stirring nearly al! the time. Put it in bowls or glasses pint bowls are the best, as it is apt to dry in smaller ones and after a day or two, if dry upon the top, cover with sugar and paste, or tie paper over them. Quince marmaiaae is maae in ine same manner. A severe home-thrust was once given to a young country clergyman, who happened at tbe time to be walking home from Church with one of his elder parishioners. It was a very icy day, when the latter suddenly slipped and fell at fall length on his back. The minister, at a glance feeling assured he was not much hurt said to him, "Ah, my good sir, pray give me your hand : sinners stand on slipery places." The old gentle man looked up and immediately answerea: ''So I perceive; you certainly keep your footing remarkably well." SOCIETY DIRECTORY. United Brotbers of Friendship.
