The Deacon's Week

Rose Terry Cooke.

The communion service of Jannary was just over in the church at Sugar Hollow, and people were waiting for Mr. Parkes to give out the hymn, but he did not give it out: he laid his book down on the table, and looked about his church.

He was a man of simplicity and sin eerlty, fully in earnest to do his Lord'i work, and do it with all bis might, but he did sometimes feel dlsfsuraged. His congregations was a mixture of farmers and mechanics, for Sugar Hollow was cut in two by Sugar Brook, a brawling, noisy stream that turned the wheel of many a mill and manufactory, yet on the hill around it there was still a scattered population eating their bread in the full perception of the primeval cur«e. So he had to contend with the keen brain and skeptical comment of the men who plq#*l themselves on power to hammer at theological p: ierns as well as hot iron, with the jnal ousy and repulsion and bitter feeling that has bred the communistic hords abroad and at home while perhaps ho bad a still harder task to awaken the sluggish souls of those who u?ed their days to struggle with barren hillside and rocky pasture for mere food and clothing, and their nights to ileep the dull sleep of physical fatigue and mental vacuity.

It seemed sometimes to Mr. Parkes that nothing but the trunk of Gabriel •could aron«e his people from their sins and make them believe on the Lord and follow His footsteps. To-day—no—a long time before to-day he had mused and prayed till an idea took place in his thought, and now be was to put it in practice yet he felt particularly responsible and solemnized as he looked about him and foreboded the success of his experiment. Then there flashed aero

hi

him, as words of Scripture will

a come back to the habitual Bible reader, the noble sentiment of Gamaliel concerning Peter and bis brethren when they «ko(l before the council: "If this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nafight but if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it."

So with a sense of strength the minister spoke: "My dear friends," het»nid "you all know, though I did not give any notioe to that effect, that this week is the Week of Prayer. I have a mind to ask yoa to make it for this one a *eek of practice Instead. I think we dixoover some things, some of the •^"5# of God, in this manner, that a boj&ssion of pruyer-meetings would not WMrhap» so thoroughly reveal to us.

Now when I say this I don't mean to have you go home and vaguely endeavor to walk straight in the old way I want you to take the 'topics,' as they are call«d, for ibe prayer meetings. For instance, Monday is prayer for thetemperance work. Try all that day to be temperate in speech, in ant, in indulgence of any kiod that is hurtful to you.

The next day is for Sunday-schools go and visit your scholars, such of you as are teachnrs, and try to feel that they

have living souls to save. Wednesday is a day for fellowship meeting we are cordially invited to attend a union meeting of this sort at Bantam. Few of u« can go twenty-five miles to be with our brethren there let us spend that day in cultivating our brethren here let us go and see those who have been cold to us from soiuo reason, heal up our breaches of friendship, confess our short-comings one to another, and act as if in Master's words, 'all ye are brethren, jt "Thursday is the day to pray for the family relation let us each try to be to our families on that day in our measure what the Lord is to' his family, the church remembering the words, 'Father, provoke not yourchiidreti toanger,' 'Husbands, love your wives, and be not ^bitter against them.' These are text rarely commented upon. I have noticed in our conference meetings, we are more apt to speak of the obedience due from childrou, and the meekness our wives owe us, forgetting that duties are always reciprocal, "Friday, the church is to be prayed for. Let ut then each for himself try to act that day just as we think Christ, our great Exemplar, would have acted in our places. Let us try to prove to ourselves and the world about us that we have not taken upon us His name lightly or iu.v«Uu. Saturday is prayer day for the heathen and foreign musssion. Brethreu ycu and I know that there are heathens fat our doors here let every one of you (who will, take that day to preach the gospel to some one who does not hear it ^anywhere else. Perhaps you will find work that ye kuow not of, lying In your midst. And let us all on Saturday eventing meet here again and choose some one brother to relate his experience of the week. You who are wllliug to try this method, please to rise."

Everybody arose except old Amos 1 Tucker, who never stirred, through his wife pulled at him and whispered to him imploringly. He only shook his grizziefi head and sat immovable.

Let us sing the doiologysaid Mr. Parkes, and it was sung with rail fervor.

Saturday night the church assembled again. The cheerful eagerness was gone from their facea they looked downcast, ,weary—as the pastor expected.

"'Well, brethren," he said, "I dono why I shouldn't tell it. I am pretty well ashamed of myself, no doubt, bat oaght t» be. and maybe I shall profit by what I've round these six days back I'll tell you just as it come. Monday looked about me to begin with. I am amazing fon4 of coffee, and it ain't good for me, the doctor says it ain't but dear me, it does set a man up good, cold mornings, to have a cup of hot, sweet, tasty drink, and I haven't had the grit to rufuse. I knew it made me, what folks call nervous and I call cross before night come and I knew it fetched on spells of low spirits when our folks couldn't get a word out of me—not good one, any way so I thought I'd try that on to begin with. I tell you it came hard I hankered after that drink or coffee dreadful! Seemed as though couldn't eat my breakfast without it. fell to pity a man that loves liquor, more'n I ever did in my life before but I feel sure they can stop if they try, for I've stopped, and I'm a goiu' to stay stopped. "Well, come to dinner, there was an other fight. I do set by pie the most of anything. I was fetched up on pie, as you may say. Our folks always bad it three times a day, and the doctor he'd been talkin' to me about eatin' pie. I hare the dyspepsy like everything, and it makes me useless by spells, and unreliable as a weather cock. An' Doctor Drake he says there won't nothing help me but to diet. I was readin' the Bible that morning while I sat waitin' for breakfast, for 'twas Monday, and wife was kind of set back with washin' and ail, and I came acrost that part where it says that the bodies o# Christians are temples of the Holy Ghost. Well, ttklnks I, we'd ought to take care of 'em if they be, and see that their kep' clean

I'd feel for him and help him, for I see just how it was. So that day's giv" out, but it learnt me a good deal mor'n I knew before. "I started out next day to look up my Bible-class. They haven't really tended up to the Sunday school as they ought to, along back, but I was busy here aud there, and there didn't seem to be a real chance to get to it. Well, 'twould take the evenin' to tell all, but I found one real sick, been abed for three weeks, and was.so glad to see me that I felt fair ashamed. Seemed as though I beered the Lord for the first time saying, 'Inasmuch as ye did it not to me.' Then another man's old mother says to me, before he come in from the shed, says she

He's been a sayin' that if folks practiced what they preached you'd ha' come round to look nim up afore now, but ae reckoned you kinder looked down on mill hands. I'm awful glad you come Bretheriug, so was I. I tell you tliHt day's work done me good. I got a poor opinion of Josiah Emmons, now I tell ye, but I learned more about the Lord's wisdom than a month o' Sundays ever showed me."

A smile he could not repress over Mr. Parker's earnest face. The deacon had forgotten a'l external issues is coming so close to the heart of things but the smile passed as be said, 'Brother Emmons, do you remember what the Master said, 'If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of .God or whether I speak of myself?'" "Well, it's so," answered the deacon, it's so right along. Why, I never thought so much of my Bible class not took no such iut'rest in 'em as I do today not since I began to teaeh. I believe they'll come more reg'larnow, too. "Now come fellowship day. I thought that would be all plain sailin' seemed as I'd got warmed up till I felt pleasant towards everybody so I went around seein' folks that was neighbors, and 'twas easy but when I come home at noon spell, Philury says, says she, Square Tucker's black bull is into the orchard a tearin' round, and he's knock ed two lengths o' fence down flat! Well, the old Adam riz up, you'd better b'lleve. That black bull has been breakiu' into my lots ever since we ot in th' aftermath, aud it's Square 'ticker's fence, and ho won't make It bull-strong as he'd oughter, and that orchard was a young one just eomln' to bear, and all the new wood crisp as cracklins with frost. You'd better believe 1 didu't have much feller feeling with Atnos Tucker, I just' put over to his house and spoke up pretty free to him, when he looked up and says, says he, 'Fellowship meetin' day, ain't it, Dacon I'd rut her he'd ha' slapped my face, I felt as though I should like to slip behind the door. I see pretty distinct what sort of life I'd been llvin' all the years I'd been professor, when couldn't hold my tongue and temper one day!"

Bretb-e-reu," interupted a slow, harsh voice, somewhat broken with emotion, "JTU tell the rest on't. Josiah Emmons come around like a man an' a Christian right there. He asked me to forgive him. and not think 'twas the fault of his religion, because 'twas his'n and nothing else. I think more of him to-dsy than I ever done before. I was one that wouldn't say I'd practice with the rest of ye. I thought 'twaseverlastin* nonsense. I'd ruther go to fortynine prayer meetin's than work at bein' good a week. I b'lieve my hope has been one of them that*perish it ha'n't worked, to-day. I mean to begin honest, and it was seein' one honest Christian man fetched me round to't."

Amos Tacker sat down and buried his griuled head in his rough hands. "Bless the Lord!" said the qaavering tones of a still older man from afar cor ner of the house, and many a glistening eye gave silent repose. "Go on, Brother Emmons," said the minister. "Well, when next day home I got up make the fire, and my boy, Joe, had forgot the kinalin's. I'd opened my mouth to give him Jesse, when it come over me suddin that this was the day of rayer for the family relation. I thought would say nothing. I just fetched in the kindlin's myself, and when the lire burnt up good I called wife."

'Why, JoBiar Emmons, how you talk Well, I do he's so everlastin' pleasant an' good natured 1 can't but think he's struck with death.' "I tell ye, brethrin, I set tight down on them sullar stairs and cried. 1 did really. Seemed as though the lord had turned and looked at me jest as He did at Peter, Why, there was my own children never see me act real fatherly and pretty in all their lives. I'd growled, and scolded, and prayed at 'em, and tried to fetch 'em just as the twig is bent thetree'sinclinec ye know, but I hadn't never thought that they'd got right an' reason to expect I'd do my part as well as they their'n. Seemed as thought I was findin'out more about Josiah Emmons' short-comings than was real agreeable. "Comearound Friday, I got back tothe store. I'd kind of left it to the boys the early part of the week, and things was a little cluteiipg, but I bad sense not to tear round and use sharp words so much as common. I began to think 'twas getting easy to practice after five days, when in come Judge Herrick's wife after some curtin calico. I bad a han'some piece, all done off with roses an things, out there wasa fault in the weavin', every now and then a streak. She didn't notice it, but she was pleased with the figures on't and said she'd take the whole piece. Well, just as I was wrappin' of it up, what Mr. Parkes here said about tryin' to act just as the Lord would in our place come across me. Why I turned as red as a beet, I know I did. It made me all of a tremble. There was I, a door-keeper in the tents of my God, as David says, really cbeatin', and cheattn' a woman. I tell ye, brethren, I was all of a sweat. 'Mis' Herrick,' say* I, 'I don't believe you've looked real close at this goods 'taint thorough wove', says I. So she didn't take it but what fetched me was to think how many times before I'd done such mean, unreliable little things to turn a penny, and all the time sayin'and prayin' that I wanted to be like Christ. I kep'a trippin" of myself up all day just In the ordinary business, and I was a peg lower down when night come than I was on Thursday. I'd rather, as fur as the hard work is conncerned, ljy a mile of four-foot stone wall than undertake to do a man's livin' Christian duty for twelve workin' hours and the heft of that is, it's because I ain't used to it, and I ought to be. "So this mornin' came around, and I felt a mite more cherk. 'Twas mission ary mornin', and seemed as if 'twas a sight easier to preach than to practice. I thought I'd begin to old Mis' Vedder's. So I put a Testament in my pocket and knocked to her door. Says I,'Good morn in', ma'am,' and then 1 stopped. Words seemed to hnng, somehow. I didn't want to pop right out that I'd come to try'n convert her folks. I hemmed and swallered a little, and fin'lly I said, says I,

We don't see you to meetin'very frequent, Mis' Vedd&r.' 'No, you don't !'ses she, as quick as a wink. 'I stay to homo-and mind my business.'

Well we should like to have you come along with us and do ye good,' says I, sort of conciliatin'. 'Look a here, Deacon!' she snapped,

I've lived alongside of you fifteen year, and you knowea I never went to meetin' we ain't a pious lot, and you knowed it we're poorer'n death, and uglier sin. Jim he drinks and swears, and Malvlny done her letters. She knows a heap she hadn't ought to, besides. Now what are 3 ou comiu' here to-day for, I'd like to know, and talkin' so glib about meetin'? Go to meetin'! I'll go or come jest as I dern please, for all you. Now get out this!' Why, she come at me with a broomstick. There wasn't no need on't what she said was enough. I hadn't never asked her nor her'n to so much as think of goodness before. Then went to another place jest like that—I won't call no names and sure enough there was ten children in rags, the hull on 'em, and the man half drunk. He ive it to me too and I don't wonder, 'd never lifted a hand to servo or save 'em before in all these years. I'd said consider'ble about the beaten in foreign parts, and give a little for to convert em, and I bad looked right over the heads of them that was next door. Seemed as if I could hear Him say, 'These ought ye to have done, and not left the other undone.' I couldn't face another soul to-day, brethren, I come home, and here I be. I've been searched through and through and found wantin'. God be merciful to me, a sinner!"

He dropped Into bis seat, and bowed his head and many another bent, too. It was plain that the deacon's experience was not the only one among the brethren. Mr. Parkes rose, and prayed as he prayer before the week of practice

Qred his heart, too. And it began a memorable year for the church in Sugar Hollow do, a year of excitement or enthusiasm, but one ^when they heard their Lord saying, as to Israel of old,

Go forward," and they obeyed His voice. The Sunday school flourished, the church services were fully attended, overy good thing was helped on its way, and peace reigned in their homes and hearts, "imperfect, perhaps, as new growths are, but still an offshoot of the •ace past understanding.

And another year they will keep another week of practice, by common cohsent.

They were married lovers, had been married nearly two hours, and were taking their first lunch on the cars. And the rest of passengers did not rise up and slay them either, which shows the degeneracy into which, as a people, we have fallen.

REMEDY FOR COLD FEET, All that is neemsary, says the Freeman's Journal, is to stand erect and very gradually lift oneself on the tips of the toes, ao as to put all the tendons of the foot at full strain. This is not to hop or jump op or down, but simply to rise— the dower the better—upon tiptoe, and to remain standing on the point of the toqa as long** possible, and then gradually coming to the natural position. Repeat this several times, and, by the amount of work the tips of the toe are made to do in sustaining the body's weight, a sufficient and lively circulation is set up.

THE HOME CIRCLE.

•r.• OKK'S KOTHBR.

Around the idea of one's mother the mind of man cling* with fond affection It is the first dear thought stamped upon our infant hearts, whep yet soft and capable of receiving the most profound impressions, and all the after feelings are more or less light in comparison Our passions and our willfulness may lead us far from the object of our filial love we may become wild, headstrong and angry at her counsels or opposition but when death has stilled her monitory voice, and .nothing but calm memory remains to recapitulate her virtues and good deeds, affection, like a flewer beaten to the ground by a rude storm, raises up her bead, and smiles amid her tears. Bound that idea, as we have said, the mind clings with fond affection and even when the earlier period of our loss forces memory to be silent, fancy takes the place of remembrance, and twines' the image of our departed parent with a garland of graces and beauties and virtues which we doubt not that she poss

FAMILY COURTESY.

It is painful to notice in many families a lack of courtesy and politeness on the partof husband and wife in their manner toward each other, and, on the other hand, most delightful to see each member of the family circle treating every other member with true politeness, and the parents evincing at all times, in manner and Bpeech, the love and esteem in which each holds the other.

On this point it has been truly said that children almost invariably follow as their parents lead. Their good breeding, their politeness, courtesy, respect, and affection are largely patterned after the example.of their parents. If the mother shows by her daily lifetbatshe looks up to the father with loving deference as the head of the family, and manifests unmistakable pleasure in seeking his comfort aud assisting to carry out his wishes the children will, in a large degree, follow her example.

If the father invariably treats the mother with respect and courtesy quite as noticeable as he shows to his most esteemed guests, listening to any remarks or wishes of hers with deference, be sure the children will follow his lead

It is well, therefor^ that all parents should be more thoughtful witn reference to their conduct and influence, so that they may bear testimony to modern as well as to old-time courtesy of manners.

GOVERNING CHILDREN.

The truth is, the generality of children are much more overgoverned than the opposite. On this subject a shrewd observer and intelligent writer in the Alliance News, published at Columbus, Ohio, sapiently says: Children are often brought up without any particular bab its of self-government, because the governing is done for them and on them A girl that is never allowed to sew, all of whose clothes are made for her, and put on her until she Is ten, twelve or fifteen, or eighteen years of age, is spoiled. The mother has spoiled her by doing every thing for her.

The true idea of relf-restraint is to let the children venture. A child's mistakes are often better than its no mistakes because when a child makes mistakes, and has to correct them, it is on the way toward knowing something. A child that is waked-up every morning and never wakes himself up, and is dressed and never makes mistakes in dressing himself, and is washed and never makes mistakes about being clean, and is fed and never has anything to do with Its food, and Is watched and never watches himself, and Is cared for and kept all day from doing wrong—such a child might as well be a tallow candle, perfectly straight, and solid and comely and uuvital, and good for nothing but to be burned up.

WIVES, KEEP UP YOUR MUSIC.

It is a great deal better to have music in your home-home-made music—than almost anything else. Keep up your practice at the piano, even if some other things do get less attention than you wish. Practice every day. In our sprightly contemporary of tho Rerformed Church, Aunt Marjorie says that one hour a day conscientiously given to the piano will keep the beautiful accomplish ment which you acquired by so many years of study and devotion.

You area busy matron, with something to fill in all the flying moments, and you are contentedly letting your musicgo, now that the children are taking lessons. The girls monoplize the jiano, and tbey are learning to play beautifully, and your pride in their progress is very great.

Nevertheless, it I? not well that girls should excel their mothers in everything. It is not well that girls sbeuld have the drawing room especially set apart for their evenings and their guests, while mother sits upstairs or in the basement. The mothers of to-day are quit too prone to retire into the shadowe background, leaving the young ladies to queen it in the front.

We always like to visit a boose where the mother keeps her true place of gentle We think mothers would [y slip from this, if they cared a very little more about not becoming rusty.

A

woman should grow

more and more charming as she goes on ili life also fuller of resources, and rather than lose any acquisition once gained, she should add to her stock as she approaches middle age.

Onenour a day, dear madam, will enable you to surprise your hasband, as he site beside tbe table in the evening, with the same sweet old melodies which you used to play to him in the long ago. One hour a day will so give to fingers and brain the power and magic of harmony,that you will be able to play merry little polkas and jigs for tbe children's entertainment, and to criticise, to their delight and profit, the ambitious performances of the older ones.

What else will one hour, set apart to a special use, accomplish It is qnite safe to say that, devoted faithfully to the reading of good literature, it will broadeo your outlook upon tbe world, and add and conversa-

books. Want of time Is usually pleaded in excuse, whereas it is quite as probably want of inclination or indifference to reading, which is tbe true reason for tbe mind's lying fallow. One hour a day, religiously dedicate either to good secular books or to devotional books, will in tbe course of a year tell upon your mental life in many ways.

CHILDREN'S CHATTER.

One evening, when there was a severe thunder shower, Kitty said, "Mama, guess God is putting his little children to sleep, for I heard hi«o pull out the trundle bed!"

A

gentleman who observed Johnny carefully taking the census of a company assembled in the parlor awaiting a call to sapper, inquired: "What is the matter, Johnny?" "Why," returned th$ urchin, with a troubled air, "here's nine of us, counting me, and mamma has gone and cut the two pies into quarters, and that only makes eight pieces."

Tom, six years old, noticed one winter morning after sunrise, the moon in the western sky. Having never before seen both orbs at the same time he was deeply impressed and ran to his mother with: "Oh, mama, I got an awful joke on our Father who art in Heaven!" "Why, Tom, what do you mean?" said tbe mother, in a rebuking tone, greatly shocked. "He forgot to pull his moon in!" cried Tom, his voice quaking with glee.

A few days ago a teacher in one of our uptown puDlic schools was exercising her class in definition of words and the writing of sentences. "Deceitful." said she, "means false and she told one of the scholars, a tow-beaded boy, to write on his slate a sentence with "deceitful" in it. He scratched bis cranium, looked at the ceiling, and then ran his pencil over the slate. "Read what you have written," said the teacher. "My ma has deceitful teeth," was what he read.

A writer in a jr venile magazine lately gathered a nuuber of dictionary word sas defined by small people, of which the following seem to be genuine

Dust—Mud with the juice squeezed out- Fan—A thing to brush warm off with. Ice—Water that stayed out in the cold and went to sleep. Monkey—A very small boy with a tail. Pig—A hog's little boy. Salt—What makes your potatoes taste bad when you don't put aiiy on. Snoring—Letting off sleep. Wakefulness—Eyes all the timo coming unbuttoned."

Neuralgia Rheumatism is the hardest kind to treat. The only way to get at it is to go right from the cause of it. The quicker you get your blood in good condition the less you will suffer in body and mind. Athi,ophoro9 moves directly on the enemy in the blood. It purges the vital fluid of the poisons and acids which give rise to neuralgia and rheumatic pains aud inflammations. As soon as the work of cleansing begins you feel the pain departing, and by the time that work is done the disease has fled.
