“I hain’t got much to do this mornin’, and 1 guess I'll run down to Widder Black’s and see what 1 can do for ’em. It’s a tarnal shame, the luck that womgn has had.” = “Some of us git along and some of us don’t,” drawled Aunt Martha, as she put the meat scraps on a plate for the dog. ' “Durned if we don’t!” “Benjamin, don’t cuss. A cussin’ man’il never come to any good.” “Who'’s a-cussin’? I said it was a tarnal shame, and so it is. Jim Black was a-gittin’ along as well as any of us when that well caved in on him and made his wife a widder. It wasn’t’nuff . that she was hard-workin’ an’ econoniizin’, but she must go 'n’ fall down and break her leg, and her baby hain’t over a year old. Who's takin' keer of liex v “Hanner Bebee.

Hanner Bebee is a purty good gal on pork and beans and:sich, but she ain’t no hand to git up dainties. You give her my luv and tell her she’s got to be right np and down with Hanner to git a full day’s work out o’ her.” When Uncle Ben set out he carried a basket which contained jelly cake, tea, a pumpkin pie and other articles, and as Le pursued his way along the frozen road he drew his old fur cap down over his ears and soliloquized: . “Yaas, darn my buttons, but I’'m sor- ~ ry fur Naney Black. On top of all the cther hard luck comes that four-hun-dred-dollar mortgage on the farm, and it’s my solemn opinion she’ll never be able to raise it. If I was able I'd buy v and hold it, but I hain’t. I've got to see Squar’ Potter, the old skinflint, and tell him he must give the widder anad _ the fatherless a show. The tarnal old eritter is probably countin’ the days tiil he kin turn 'em outdoors, but if he ever - {ries it he'll hear what the folks around here thinks of him.

“She rested purty well last night,” replied the girl, : e “Fed the stock yet?” “No; I was just goin’ out.” “That’s just like the Bebees—allus an hour behind time! When yer father died and his funeral was sot fu» two o'clock it didn’t come off till three. I’ll do the chores fur ye this mornin’, and you see if the widder and the fatherless kin find anything in that basket to tempt their appetites.” Half an hour later Uncle Ben reentered the kitchen and marched through to the sitting-room bedroom to see the unfortunate widow. ; “Say, Nancy, I'm dog gone sorry fur ye!” he said, as he wiggled out of his overcoat and flung his cap on the floor. “Jfere it is Thanksgiving day and everybody gittin’ ready to canter ‘round and stuff their stomachs, and vou a-lyin’ here with a broken leg!

try and not worry overit. Whoknows but what it is all for the best?” ' “Mebbe ’tis, but I'll be hanged if 1 believe it! Aunt Martha sent her luv, and I guess she’ll be down about Saturday-" B “She is very, very kind.” “And she said you'd hev to boss Hanner more or less to make her step around. Some folks hev to be sorter driv, ye Know.” - “Hannah is doing very well, I'm glad to say.” . ; “How’s the young ’un?” *“As good as pie.” i “That’s nice. Some youngsters is all right, and some seem to be possessed of the old Harry. Look a here, Nangy, 1 hain’t no hand to go pokin’ my nose into other people’s bizness, as 1 guess you’ll allow, but.thar’s a matter I'd like to ask about. You remember we went to skule together, and the night we had the spellin® bee you’n me was the last ones up, I went down on ‘docktrine,” and you went ahead ’till the teacher was pretty nigh tuckered out. I kinder feel as if 1 was related to ye, ye know.” _ : o ~ *“Yes;'what do you want to talkabout, Uncle Ben?” :

“About that mortgage. In course I know thar’s one on the farm, fur I was with Jim when he got the money, but how about the interest?” “I won’t be able to pay a shilling of it when due.” : “%You don’t tell mel”

“On the first day of the month the farma will probably be advertised for sale, but I believe the law allows me to stay on for a few months.” “Has Squar’ Potter bin up here lately ?” ; i “He was here yesterday. He will take the place as soon as the law allows.” - “The blamed old skunk! Excusemy cuss words, Nancy, but when I'm excited they slip right out. If that old skinflint #urns you outer house and home I'll go down the road and take off my coat and lick him ’till' he bellers like a calf!” / : “No, Uncle Ben. He lends his money to live on the interest, and it is only right that he should be paid. I was in hopes to be able to pay him the interest, but this misfortune will prevent.” “It's a downright shame, and I don’t keer who hears me say so! Say, Nancy, thar’s a l}eap o’ shelled corn on the barn floor which orter be winnowed out and put away afore the rats lug it oft.” : “1’ was hunting for a box to put it in when 1 fell and broke my leg. If you’ll go up into the attic, Uncle Ben, you’ll probably find something. Ibelieve there’s an old blue chest up there with nothing in it, and it will hold the corn.” ‘ “D’ye mean that old chist which Jim bid oft at auction over to Jackson’s vendue?” ‘ : CdYes"l Y “l was thar’ and bid two shillin’s fur it. Jim raised my bid to thirty cents and got it fur a wood box. Never used it, eh? 1 believe Jackson said he got that chist at a baggage sale in Boston a dozen years before, an’ thar’ was a lot o’ duds in it which hev belonged to some furreigner. Wall, I'll go E up and hev it down and take kéer of that corn. Corn is goin’ to be corn afore next spring. 1 s’pose ‘Hanndd Bebee would walk over that pile a hundred times and mnever see it. The Bebees was a good-hearted lot, but perfeckly shiftless.” ~ - In the farmhouse attic, stored away with quilt frames, broken chairs, ‘bunches of mayweed and catnip, and hingeless trunks and boxes, Uncle Ben found the old blue chest. - There was a thick layer of dust on the Ild, und he - dusted it oft with a bunch of herbs and ERaR e

“Whew! but how the dast does git {into a house! Ya-as, that's the same old chist, and 1 laffed at Jim all the way home for buyin’ it, Come outer here

and downstairs and be sem good fur sumthin’! Guess you'll hold all that corn and a bushel or so-more. If Hanner Bebee had bin the right sort of gal she’d hev—" : o © “Durn my hind buttons and gosh-all-fish-hooks! Hannper, whar be yel Struck my hide if I hain’t broke every bone in my body and busted myself all to flinders! Hanner! Hanner!” “What’s happened?’’ shouted Hannah from the foot of the kitchen stairs. “This blamed old chist has went and gone and knocked'me head over heels down them attic stairs and killed me as dead as a door nail. Hurry up and git the durned thing off’'n me!” “Why, Uncle Ben!” ex¢laimed Hannah, as she reached the chamber floor and found the old farmer doubled up at the foot of the attic ladder and the old blue chest holding him fast. “Git it off’n me!” he shouted. “That’s jest like a Bebee! The time your father’s cow fell in the well he tcok two

hours to think of it and let her diel Hang it, do ye want to break my back!” “You’ll soon be a pirate if you keep on cussin’,” said Hannah, as she pulled the chest away and helped him up. , “I'm a pirate now, and dog-gone me if I don’t cuss all the rest of the day!” shouted Uncle Ben. “Thar, durn ye, take that—and that—! Why, I’ll bust yve all to smagh and throw the pieces into the fire!” ~ It is needless to explain that he kicked the chest instead of Hannah, and that the busting and smashing also referred to the ancient-looking receptacle. The bottom was turned toward him, and the third kick from his heavy cow-hide a portion of it gave way and Hannah uttered a shriek of surprise. g “Lemme at it! Lemme bust it all to kindlin’s,” shouted Uncle Ben, as he danced around. - “lLook, Uncle Ben—see there!” “Money—gold and silver—dog-gone my steers!” e : Yes, it. was money—gold and silver coins of Holland and Germany. There was a false bottom to the chest, and they had been hidden under it for a dozen years or more. It was the chest of a Holland .immigrant, but how it had gone astray and finally been sold as unclaimed no one could have found out, had they wanted to. There was just seven hundred and fifty dollars in the “find,” and Uncle Ben carried it downstairs in his old fur' cap and poured it out on the bed before the eyes of the wondering and astonished cripple, and said: “Nancy Black, it’s ali yours—every dollar of it, and thar’s 'nuff to pay the mortgage and the doctor and leave ye sumthin’ to boot.” v ' . *And you found it in the old chest?” ‘“fhat’s whar’ it was, but if the blamed thing hadn’t fell on me nobody would hev knowed about it. Nancy, I'm doggoned glad!” “Oh, Uncle Ben, the Lord has not deserted me, after all!” she sobbed. *No, 1 guess not, but if I hadn’t got mail and cussed and kicked you’d never hev got it. The Lord sorter helped, I s’pose, but cussin’ did the most of it, and from this time on Martha may blow all she’s a mind to, but I'm goin’ to say all the gosh-all-fish-hooks I - wanter.”—Detroit Free Press.

~ THE+ SUNDAY SCHOOL. International Lesson ioMDecember 1, 1898 —David Anointed King—l Sam. 16, 1-13. | - Specially Arranged from Peloubet’s Notes. | GOLDEN TEXT.—Man looketh on the outward| appearance. but the Lord looketh onthe heart. | —1 Sam. 16:7. ; * THE SECTION includes chapter 16 See also Psalm 78:70-72 ‘ TlME.—About B. C. 1065 to 1088 Not long after the last lesson. The exact time is un-’ certain. : o :PLACE —(1) Ramah, Samuel's home four miles north of Jerusalem. (2) Bethlehem, six mil9s south of Jerusalem. : EXPLANATORY. ; In ¢ur last lesson we learned that Banl was rejected from founding a line of kings, because he proved himself unfit for the place and the work. Samuel, after giving his last faithful warning to Saul, returned to his home at Ramah, and henceforth saw him no more. ° 1. ““And the Lord said unto Samuel:” not a great while after He left Saul, and yet the expression: ‘“‘How long,” ‘implies that some weeksor perhaps months had elapsed. ‘“Wilt thou mourn for Saul?” God gave Samuel time for the natural expression for his greif; 'but, too long continued, his griet ‘would imply dissatisfaction with God and His providence. ‘‘Fill thine horn;” the horns were hollowed out and polished, and used as cups or bot~ tles. Hence the horn became the symbol of power and plenty (cornucopia). “With oil:” either the usual olive oil or perhaps the sacred oil used for the tabernacle lights and for anointing priests, and composed of olive oil, cassia, cinnamon, calamus and myrrh, “I will send thee to Jesse, the Bethlehemite.” Jesse was the grandson of ‘Boaz and Ruth, and was probably the chief man of Bethlehem, ‘‘the sheik of the village.” “I'or I have provided me a king.” He had not only selected one, but had endowed him .with the needful training and talents, and had found him making a right use of them. 2. “An? Samuel said, How can II go? If Saul hear it he will kill me:” for the act of anointing another king would be regarded as little less than high treason. ‘Take a heifer with J thee and s 2 , I am come to sacrifice.” Samuel wi. ; accustomed to go on a cir- J cuit to judge, and it is probable that on such occasions he held religious | gervices, taught the people and oftered sacrifices. It may have been the customary annual sacrifice at Bethlehem | (20:6). 1 3. “And call Jesse to the sacrifice:” The sacrifice was religious service, rep- | resenting communion with God,.and F was accompanied with acts of dewation, | prayers, and sometimes, at least, with | addresses. “And 1 will show thee; what thou shalt do:” So usually God| shows us the way a little at a time. 4. “And the elders of the town| trembled at his coming,” perhaps because friendliness to Samuel might bez regarded by Saul as taking sides against him, and the royal displeasure| would be visited upon them. ‘‘Comest| thou peaceably?” Does your coming] betoken peace, good-will, the favor of God, or otherwise? : | 5. “Banctify yourselves:” by the pre-i scribed ceremonial cleansing, whichl. was a symbol of the purification of théi heart by repentance, obedience,—andl} consecration to God. “Called them tq the sacrifice:” All were present at the public sacrifice, but the sacrificial feasts ing that followed would be by families, and Samuel went to Jesse’s house for this purpose, doubtless as a welcome guest. f 6. “He looked upon Eliab:” Jesse’s eldest son, tall and ' fine-looking} “Surely the Lord’s anointed is before Him.” Even Samuel still judged by outward appearances, and this sta.lwarfi soldier-like, middle-aged man .seemed ‘“‘every inch a king.” : i “The Lord seeth notas man seeth:” | For the Lord sees all; knows all. The most hidden things are as plain to Him as the sun at noonday. ‘“‘For man looléeth on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart:” Godknowis the real man, his inner nature and possibilities, and these depend far more o(’n on the heart and intellect than on outward appearance. | 11. “There remaineth yet the youngest:” If some one must care for the sheep, David would be'the least misse;f. 12. “Now he was ruddy:” Red hair and fair skin are regarded as a mark of beauty in southern countries, where the hair and complexion are generally dark. ‘“‘And withal of a beautiful countenanca:” Literally, of beautiful eyes. His countenance was beautiful with that kind of beauty which belongs to expression rather than to features; ;!zs power and attraction lay in the eye. 13, *“Then Samuel ¥ % % apoint?d him in the midst of his brethren:” In their presence. The anointing was the symbol of a setting apart for some special mission appointed by God. It is not at all probable that Daviél’s brethren knew the high destiny ﬂor which he was anointed. The anointing might be fora successor to the aged prophet or to some position in the schools of the prophets. It is doubtful if the meaning of the act was then revealed even to David. : |

‘“And the Spirit of the Lord came (mightily, R. v.) upon David:” The g?*ift of the Holy Spirit is the greatest and best gift of God to man through Jesus Christ. David, even if he knew at this time that he was to be king, could not possibly foresee the great work he was to do. He ‘“knew not where he was going,” but he knew that, wherever it was, faithfulness in present duty was was the only way to reach it. Theonly way to large things is through faithf;ulness in little things. o MULTUM IN PARVO.” | Generosity is catching.—Greville. | An extreme rigor is sure to arm everything against it.—Burke, L A page digested is better than a volume hurriedly read.—Macaulay, | Responsibility walks hand in hand with ¢apacity and power.—Holland.| I read the newspapers to see how God governs the world.—John Newton. | Thought is troublesome to him who lives without his own approbation.— Johnson.

Gracc before Mcat. There’s a difference between being full of thanks- ~ giving, and being full of Thanksgii'ing dainties. But the one thing generally leads to the other. How ' can it be helped when the turkey is so good, and the _pie so enticing? Here’s a helpful hint. For that full feeling.after Thankshiving — take a pill. Not any pill, mind you. There are pills that won’t help you. Take the pill that will. It’s known as Ayer’s ~ Pill —and it’s perfect. It is sugar-coated, pleasant to the palate, and its oper'ation, like that of nature, is effective and without violence. Keep this in your mind if you want ‘to enjoy the holiday season: Grace before meat, but a Pill after Pie.
