At -such times it was Will's duty to appriee) the parishioners of this change of the hour of service for the day. On one of these occasions, somewhat to the the rin of 1 the minister officiating, a very small umber the parishioners were p esent. With some irritation he accused the beadle of having failed to make dile in- timation, Will stoutly maintained that he had faithfully fulfilled his dutiesby not only naming the hour of meeting, but also announcing the name of the minister who was to conduct the ser- vices. Still unsatisfied, fresh doubts were insinuated regarding the veracity of Wilrs statement, which being more than Will could endure, he quietly in- formed the minister that if he would have the true reason of the small attend- slice'"it was that he was not very popular in the, parish." A meat that Will thoroughly relished, and was never in living memory known to mise, was his Sunday dinner at the manse. It was a hearty one, and doubt- less eeeved to make up for the homely fare of the Saturday previous, and the Monday following. It was a dinner . given most ungrudgingly by the minister, who, regarded Will as part of the Sab- bath household. Moreover, he general- ly had share of whatever had been on the minister's Own table. On one oc- casion Will had rather the best lof the dinner. The minister's family weife from home. A modest steak, intend d for the minister, had been prepared by the thrifty housekeeper, and was stiuthng ready on the kitchen table wh n the beadle arrived. While the servapt was making the necessary arrangements for dinner in the minister's parlor, Will in the interval despatched the steak. When the housewife broke out in indig- nation, he quietly remarked that he had used it under the impression that it was the "bit bit" prepared for him. The ministenenjoying the unconscious humor of the situation, firet congratulated Will on his good foitune, and then good- huraoredly dined on bacon and eggs, which, it may be mentioned, is a never -- failing resource in remote country manses. Poor old Will's step gradually got slow and slower;.but nearly to the very last he carried the minister's books up to the pulpit, and with his own peculiar twitch of the rope made the bell Speak out its metallic ding-dong, ding-dong. Even during the few weeks when he was confined to bed, he would show symp- toms of keen interest in his duties and reminiscences, when some of his old friends led. him to tell again some of his experiences. When the end was visibly approaching, poor Will wondered who would dig his grave. The minister touched his heart by telling him that he would like to do that service for him with his own hands. For as Will always loved his minister., and would bravely stand up for him whenever any one hint- ed a, querulous or disparaging word, so, like a true -hearted man, the minister loved old Will, and felt that he was losing a true friend. This offer of the last service being the expression of true regard, deeply touched the heart of the failing man, who, after that, seemed content to die. Although the church- yard was very crewded with graves, Will had reserved a spot in -Which to rest beside his pld mother, On his fun- eral day .the whole perisleyoung and old, assembled to show their respect for the good old creature. I The church seems now scarcely like itself since the old quaint form departed from it.

Ye drawing -rooms and palaces, I recognize your splendors, Your ladies bright and beautiful—the wer of their defenders-; The while I creep across the -,field, and toil for man's existence, And see his roofs and minarets that sparkle in the distance. But well 'tis known that in the soil your best foundations be; ' What would you do, what could you do, and were it not for me ? Unless I pierce the darkness where the golden grain has birth, Your beauty and your brightness will go orurnb- ling to the earth! So drawing-roorns and palaces, Lay by your social fallacies, And listen for a moment, till you've heard the cheerful song Of the old plow, the bold plow, that moves the world along! Ye rumbling manufactories, that loom as beld as mountains; And send your streams Of smoke aloft in raven - colored fountains, I see your fiery temper gleam, in flakes of cinders burning, I strike a spark of flinty fire, the bright salute returning; But think, bow closely coupled in -our varied works are we: What would you make, what could you make, and were it not for me? I build you and I feed you, and your eervants all I keep; My stalks and blossoms toil for you when others are asleep. To recognize my royalty in honest, earnest loyalty, And see a burnished sceptre in the sharp and gleaming prong Of the old plow, the bold plow, that moves the world along. Ye sailors of the argosies that miles of ocean measure, Trade's never ceasing pendulums are swinging to your pleasure, Your cities decked with spire and dome, in spite of waves and weather, Go traveling from shore to shore, a thousand leagues together! And yet from my unceasing toil your grandeur is not free, Where would you sail, where could you sail, and were it not for me! But little might those gallant flights Up you or others yield If lwaskinot for my voyages across the fertile field. So share my grim emotions, Gallant plowmen of the oceans, And ring out a jolly chorus, and we'll make it loud and strong. For the old plow, the bold plow, that moves the world along! Ye potentates of merchandise, ye traders and ye bankers, Into whose capacious harbors wealth is casting all its anchors; I bow to your magnificence—I like your brain and daring; I know your table luxuries, the jewels you are wearing! But lay aside your vanity this humble truth to see, What would you own, what could yOu own, and were it not for me? Look well, I clothe the fellow lands and feathe cattle fold; You will not wear your iron, and you cannot eat your gold; So drop all needless vanity, Good cash boys of humanity; For your Success is fastened with a never -break- ing thong To the old plow, the bold plow, that moves the world along! Ye legislators, governors and dignitaries aw- ful, Who make receipts for keeping men respectable and lawful, Ye tea.cleers and ye Preachers, and you who the presses borrow, To raise your heroes high to -day and pull than down to -morrow; Ye workers in all sorts of brain, on One affair agree; How would you rule, how could you rule, and were it not for me ! • The monarch of this western world would have marched behindthe plow; The boys who yet shall be the same are in the furrew nOw So boweth my utility You men of brain ability. And make me first and foremost of the great - progressive throng, Yes, the old plow, the bold iRow, that moves the world along. Though simple my biography, 'twould fill out many pages; I Was within a tree -top born in very distant ages; They dragged me in my infancy o'er sleeping hill and hollow, But where I went prosperity was ever sure to fol- low. Rich harvests were the children of this bantling of a tree ; Haw would they grow, how could they grow, and were it not for me? So they shod me and they armed me with the metals of the mines Till my loins are iron girded, and my breast with silver shines! So crown me with sincerity As monarch of prosperity, And as the foremost enemy of famine, shame and wrong; I'm the old plow, the bold plow, that movethe world along. Students' Pranks. Some eighty years ago, when Dr. Dwight was president of Yale College, students were much more given to play- • ing tricks upon their teachers than in later years. Two stories of those days are told and vouched for by the son of an old gentleman who was a student under Dr. Dwight, and one of the-- num- ber engaged in playing the tricks on the good doctor. The doctor had what at that time was considered a very handsome close car- riage, of which he was exceedingly care- ful. Some of the students made up a scheme to draw it away the first dark night, and hide it in a piece of wood a mile and a half distant. By some means the doctor got Wind of the students'. in- tentions. 'Just .before the time agreed upon by the young men to play their joke, the doctor went out and got intahis carriage and closed the door. Presently the trick players came in high glee, caught hold of the carriage without look- ing inside, and trundled it away at a rapid pace down hill to the piece of woods. When they had arrived at the place selected, and stopped, the old doc- tor quietly opened the carriage door, and stepping out said, in bland tones, "Young gentlemen, 1 havehad a very pleasant ride, I enjoyed it e-xceedingly, and now I would be delighted to have you draw me back again." The students did as requested, but not half sa joyfully as when running down hill : there are some rules in this world that do not work equally well both ways. Getting the start of the young men in this instance, 'put them to their wits' ends to disco's-cr a way to get even with the old gentleman. It happened that the doctor was very fond of poultry, and thought there was nothing quite equal to green goose for Thanksgiving dinner. It also happened that the doctor had six remarkably fine geese which he was saving for the ap- proaching Thanksgiving. Here then, was the doctor's vulnerable point. Very early Thanksgiving morning, the stud- ents surprised the six fine geese, and topk five of them away, leaving only the old gander. Later in the morning the doctor sent his man out to catch and kill three geese for their dinner, he hav- ing invited several friends to enjoy his green ;goose dinner, Presently the man came back, out of breath, and reported that he could find only one old gander, The thought -of the invited guests flashed across the doctor's mind, Ina springing to his feet he went out Iliad found the solitary eander, as reported, Around the neck of that lone gander was tied a- small shred of linen handkerchief, containing five old-time copper cents, and a scrap of paper on which, were written these lineal: Dr. Divight , We this night Thought to take a wander We've got your geese For a penny a piece, And left for you the gander. Cleaning Willow Chairs., Mypretty willow rocker showed de- cided signs of wear, in contrast with fresh ribbons in its open-work, and clean, new paper on the walls. I thought of sending it to be varnished, but the sight of a bottle of ammonia used in cleaning woodwork induced me to try an experiment. On the wet, soapy towel I had been using I poured'a few drops of ammonia and rubbed a lit- tle spot on the chair; it came out clean and white, . and thus encouraged, I speedily removed the tokens of use, making the chair as clean and neat as when new. Perhaps others may be glad to know how easily and cheaply such articles, now so fashionable, may be re- , ; ne wed. Broke Into Smithereens. Sir Astley Cooper relates the follow- ing anecdote of an Irish candidate before the Examining Board of a London Col. lege: "What is a simple and what is a compound fracture ?" asked the examin- er. The reply was, "A simple fracture is when a bone is broke, and a compound fracture When it's all broke." Sir Astley Diked him what he meant by '11%11 broke. "I mean," he replied, broke into smitheneens, to be sure." I ventured to ask him what was "smithereens." He turned upon me with an intense expres- sion of sympathy upon his countenance. "You don't know what is smithereens? then I give you up." 1 Personal Liberty. - "-I am a temperance man, but I have my doubts whether you have a right to pass such.a law as you Prohibitionists arc after," 1 " Why ?" "Veil, if peeple want to sell what others want to buy, I don't think the law has a right" to prevent. You haven't a right to say that people shall not drink if they want to." "Of course, then, you object to the law, that closes the saloons on Sunday ?" Oh, no. That is another matter. That is done simply to preserve the san- ctity of the Sabbath." "You admit, I suppose, that the Sab- bdth was made for man ?" " Certaihly." "You admit then that it is proper to close the saloons for the sake of the Sab- bath day, while you -deny that it is proper to do the same thing for the man biinself, for whom the Sabbath is made ! Is a part greater than the whple nowadays?" A Deacon Demoralized. Country housewives are invariably solicitous in the morning -particularly Sunday morning -regarding the chores being all done. Good Deacon Smith resided with his family near Dayton, Ohio. One Sunday morning last summer, after the spring wagon was at the door 0,nd the family loaded in for church, Mrs. Smith sudden- ly turned to her husband with, "John, have you fed the calf ?" "No, mother," responded the deacon; "the calf can Wait," "Now, John, you know I can't take a bit of comfort going to church, and leave that poor calf blatting around the yard." All the good deacon could say did not satisfy his tender-hearted wife, and finally, for the sake of peace, he jumped out of the wagon, got a pail of nilk, and started for the calf. The de con had on -his black Sunday clothes, aml to climb over a six -rail fence with a ail of milk in hand, is not an easy task, as some of our readers'can testify. The calf on the other side of the field saw the deacon climbing the fence, and started:on a keen run, tail sticking out as straight as an arrow; the deacon, seeing the calf coming, braced himself, and planted the pail of milk firmly be- tween his legs. 'The Moment the calf arriyed, it ram- med its head (as calves always do) to the bottom of the pail. The good deacon tried to catch the animal by the ears, to hold its head down and keep it from soiling his Sunday trowsers. But nothing could prevent the , splash. By this time the deacon's ire was con- siderably up, and as, all too late, he grasped its ears, he addressed the calf thus: "If it were not for the respect I have for ' the holy Sabbath, I would punch your blasted head through that pail !" Laborers Who Never Strike. There is one class of laborers who nev- er strike and seldom complain. They get up at five o'clock in the morning and never go back to bed until 11 o'clock at night. They work without ceasing the whole time, and receive no other emolu- ment than food and the plainest cloth- ing. They understand something of every branch of economy and labor, from finance to cooking. Though liar- rassed by a hundred, responsibilities, though driven and wqrried, though re- proached and ooked down upon, they never revolt, and they/ cannot organize for their Owti protection. Not even sickness releases them from their posts. No sacrifice is deemed too great for them to make, and no incompetency in any branch of their work is excused. No naive or books of poems are written in tribute to their steadfastness. They rue in harness, and are supplanted as quickly as may be. These are the housekeeping wives of the laboring men. -The death is announced of Benjamin Ouimet, of Montreal, one of the French Canadian patriots of 1837. IMPORTANT NOTICES.
