Is'r+ n the deacon'$standpoint, the
'minister's salary was large, indeed,
"enormous," as the deaeon used to. say.
In point of fact, it wins very moderate,
"'mug only KM a year, ,anct $59 of that
had to be taken for woait glut we
iwust, look at it from the deacon's point
of view.
He lived upon and cultivated a farm
that furnished him .andliis .fanlil t e -
Brost their entire livi g.When h y
wanted groceries, or any kind of
"store" goods, he would make a trade
of butter or eggs, and supply their
wants.
This left very little to sell for cash,
and consequently the good deacon
handeiled but very little actual money
from one year's end to another. Two
hundred dollars and sometimes fifty or
seventy-five more, was alt the real
cash the deacon saw in the year; and
his necessities not requiring this much
he usually hada considerable', sum to
his credit at the bank. How his minis-
ter, without a large family, could spend
$400 in cash every year, was more than
he coiled possibly comprehend. There
must be, he thought, great extrava-
gence somewhere, to his opinion the
minister did not earn his money.
What does he do, anyway?" he
said, addressing a neighbor who sat in
his store amusing himself by tossing
tip a couple of beans. "Most of the
time he wears his best clothes, and
goes around 'visiting on the people,
atakin' tea with the women, and a-
havin' a good time. while me and you
is hard a-workin'." The man of the
beans nodded his head, and flung the
beans more assiduously, as though
they had something to do with the
work referred to by the deacon. "And
then as to preachin'—I'd like to know
what there's in that?" he continued.
"If a man couldn't write in half a day
enough to read in half an hour, why,
I think he'd better quit the business,
wouldn't you?" The thrower of the
beans not being disposed to take issue
with the deacon, he continued: "Now,
I don't set up pretensions to be smart-
er than most of folks, but if I can't
write with this very hand (holding out
a hand that did not look as; though
it had been got up• with any special
reference to holding a pen) as good a
sermon in half a day as the minister
preaches to us, I'll quit being a deacon;
and I'd preach it, too, in the church, if
he'd give me the chance."
This last remark, in the course of
time, got round to the winister's ears,
and he determined at the first oppor-
tunity to give the deacon a chance to
try his "gifts." This soon occurred.
Only a few weeks after the conversa-
tion referred to, it happened that the
minister was called to be absent from
home for a Sabbath; so, ':going over to
the deacon's house early on Monday
morning, he stated to him the necessi-
ties of the case, and insisted that he
should prepare a sermon and preach it
in the pulpit the following Sunday.
A view of the deacons face at that
.moment would have been highlyamus-
ing. The first tinge of surprise soon
gave way to an expression of pride,
confidence and triumph most refresh-
ing to contemplate. Laying hold of
the lower of two buttons that held
his vest together, he comment twist-
ing it as was his custom whe aboring
under great mental excient, and
,replied: "Well, domin• , —that was
a term he always used on state occa-
sions—"if you really think I must, I
will do the hest I can." And then he
added after a moment's hesitation,
"I hain't got the books, I suppose you
will let me ge into your study to
write? I'll go home for dinner."
"Oh, certainly." replied the dominie,
"and my wife will be pleased to have
you take dinner, and supper, too, with
her, if you should not get through be-
fore meal -time."
"Very good," said the deacon, "I'll
go over as soon as I get my morning's
work done."
An hour later, but yet early in the
morning. found the deacon in the
minister's study, preparing for work.
He had left word at home to keep
some dinner for him, as he Might pos-
sibly not/ get hie sermon written as
he expeceed, but still expressed the
opinion that he had only to write
enough to keep him reading half an
hour; he would, if he had no bad Iuck,
get through by noon. To give the
deacon the credit due to him, it must
be said that he did have, with all his
failings, a foundation of good sense in
his mind, and was a pretty good judge
of what a sermon ought to he.
The minister's good wife had prepar-
ed everything to his hand. She had
placed paper and ink on the table, to-
gether with a Bible, Cruden's Concor-
dance, and a most formidable pile of
commentaries. The deacon proceeded
at once to business. He stood for a
moment to take a survey of the situa-
tion, and thea drew off his coat, and,
throwing it over a chair, rolled up his
red flannel shirt -sleeves with as much
energy as though he were going to
chop wood. Then he sat down on
the table, counted out as many sheets
of sermon paper as he would use, and
pronounced himself already. By this
time it was a few minutes past nine
o'clock.
"Well," said he to himself, 'the first
thing,uainisters have to settle is what
tdxt they will select." Here he picked
up the Bible and ,glanced through it.
There were plenty of texts there, be-
yond a question, but which one. This
was a poser. Now he thought of a
certain verse, now of another. He
read part of a chapter here and part
df another there, and then lay back in
his chair and thought; the lower but-
ton was suffering terribly.
Here was a text that would do, but
the minister had preached upon it
lately; there vias another that would
make a splendid - discourse, but the
condition of the church was not such
as to warrant that kind• of a sermon.
After.a great deal of reflection both
these were rejected.
Just their, to the deacon's horror, the
clock "struck eleven. He caught up his
pen and dipped it in the ink; but there
was that stubborn fact—he must have
a text. He wondered how ministers
decided that very important matter.
'Ah, now I have it 1' he exclaimed.—
'No, that won't do either.' The hour
soon passed, and thus ended the flrst
half-day.
Promptly at twelve o'clock the min-
ister's wife called him to dinner, and
although much inclined not to, he went.
'Well, deacon, how have you got on ?
Have you settled upon your text yet?
said the lady cheerfully; 'that is one of
my husband's greatest troubles. I have
known him so ' times to spend a whole
day •in search ,... "z ,e e erepriate text

The deacons wife was a very shrew/
as Well asa very good woman, and elle
knew how to do what very many wo-
ine da not --she knew when not to
tall. And, this evening, she judged
from her husband's countenance was
such a time, They went silently to
bed. About half past twelve o'clock
she was awakened by the deacon ask-
ing her which of the two texts he re-
peated she thought would be best for a
sermon.
The next morning the deeeon com-
plained of a headache, affirming that
he had not slept more than two hours
the whole night. Nine o'clock found
him hard at work again, But, alas!
he soon came to fully realize whaf he
direly suspected during the night—
that he was not familiar with his sub-
ject. It was evident that he must do
what he had so often heard the minis-
ter talk about—he must 'read up'; must
go through that pile of commentaries,
and post up on the subject. But where
was the end? Book atter book demand-
ed this attention, iuntil the second sun
actually went down' upon his dreary
and unfinished task.
Once he was inclined to quote largelyi
from these authorities, but a moment's
reflection convinced him that it would
not do. Then he tried to forget the
words, and yet remember the sub-
stance of their ideas. But this he
found a most difficult undertaking.
He ate no dinner, complaining that his
head ached too severely. At night he
was tired, hungry, and disgusted with
himself. After supper he sat before
the fire -place more than an hour, with
his chin upon his hands and . his eyes
closed; he was thinking. His vest was
held together by only one button; the
lower one was gone. Finally he raised
himself up slowly. A new light shone
in his eyes.
'Betsey,' he said, 'get some paper
and ink, and opodeldoc for my back.'
She placed the writing materials be-
fore him, and a cup of liniment by the
fire to warm.
'Here, John,' he said, addressing his
eldest boy, who had just come in from
the store, where he was clerking,
'Here, John, you are better at writ-
ing than I am, and my head is so tired
I can hardly hold a pen anyway. Draw
up a subscription paper for the minis-
ter to give fifty dollars more a year,
and put your father down ten dollars
—yes, ten dollars, John. Betsey, it's
ten dollars. If that man can get up a
hundred of them sermons every year
he ought to have a thousand dollars.
Betsey a thousand dollars is a good
deal of money; yes, it is; but I say, I
know, that the minister earns it, every
dollar of it. I don't see for the life of
me—and I ought to know—I don't see
how a man can write two of them ser-
mons a week. I worked at mine two
whole days, and I got no farther than
the text.—'Morning Star.'

UNDER NO OBLIGATIONS.
One day on Powell's River, in the
Tennessee Mountains, I rode up to a
comfortable -looking farmhouse to en-
quire the way and 2 ran plump into a
one-sided scrimmage between a sharp -
visaged woman and a measly little
man at a wood pile. She was scolding
him right and left, and he was taking
it silently.
"Hello,' 1 broke in. "How far is it
to Tazewell?"
She looked up and stopped scolding.
"Fourteen miles the way you've got
ter go," she replied.
"Who lives here?"
"I do."
That wasn't very definite, but I did
not let it bother me in the slightest.
"Thanks," I respontted. "Could I
get, my horse fed and a snack for my-
self?"
"No. But you kin half a mile furder
down the road."
By this time she had come nearer
theate.
"You seem to be having some trouble
with your farm hand,' I said at a
venture.
"Yes, be's the laziest, orneriest white
man in these parts."
"How long have you had him?"
"About four years."
"Why don't you discharge him?"
"Cant do it very well, muster."
"Why, is labor scarce?"
"No, not skeerce, edzactly, but I'm
kinder use ter him an' he don't give me
no back talk."
"But I wouldn't be annoyed by such
help."
"Well, mister, yer can't quite call
him help. I reckon ha's too ornery fer
that."
"Then why not send him off?"
"Didn't I tell you I couldn't?"
She was getting hot again.
"Why not?" I persisted. "Are you
under any obligations to him?"
"In course I ain't; he's my husband."
"Oh," I laughed, and I got away in
time.—Detroit Free Press,

A QUICK RECOVERY.
The doctor of an hos itai ship com-
plained to a visitor ofp a lazy colored
man whom he could do nothing with.
"We don't like to throw the rascal out,
but it is easily seen he is only sham-
ming. He finds, no doubt, his present
quarters too pleasant—no work and
plenty to eat. I wish I could get clear
of the fellow without creating a dis-
turbance."
"Wei:, doctor," said the visitor, after
a little reflection, "Iend mea few yet ds
of strung, that nigger will be mites
away before night.
"You don't mean to strangle hire, I
hope?"
"Oh, no," replied the visitor; "I pro-
mise to do him no injury."
He got the twine, and putting on a
melancholy air he went to the darkey's
berth.
"Very bad?" he said.
"Yes, massa," replied Sambo; "dreb-
ful sick."
The visitor made no further remark,
but placed one end of the twine at his
head, and drew it slowly—very slowly
—until it reached his toes. Then he
measured him across his chest. The
fellow looked the picture of astonish-
ment and terror, and gasped:
"What dis for?"
The visitor never answered ham, but
was walking away, when Sambo sat
bolt upright and called after him, im-
ploring an explanation. The visitor
pretended to relent, and whispered:
"My poor fellow, the doctor knows
you are not going to recover; and it is
only an expense keeping you here
without any chance of doing you good.
I have just been taking your measure"
—here he lowered his•voice still more
—"fora coffin. We'll bury you with
honors to -morrow; it's the custom here
iu a case like yours. 'Tis best for all
hands, you know."
No one knew how or when that nig-
ger got clear of the hospital ship, but
there was no trace of him in the morn-
ing.
HOW TO DRY WET SHOES.
When, without overshoes, you are
caught in a heavy rain -storm, perhaps
you Dave known already what to do
with your best kiirl boots, which have
been thoroughly wet through, and
which, if left to .dry in the ordinary
way, will be stiff, brittle and unlovely?
If not, you will be glad to learn what I
heard only recently, from one whose
experience is of value.
First wipe off gently with a soft
cloth all surface water and mud; then,
while still wet, rub well with kerosene
oil, using for the purpose the furred
side of Canton flannel. Set them aside
till partially dry, when a second treat-
ment with oil is advisable. They may
then be deposited in a conveniently
warm place, where they will dry grad-
ually and thoroughly. Before apply-
ing French dressing -kid, give them a
final rubbing with the flannel, still
slightly dampened with kerosene. and
your boots will be soft and flexible as
new kid, and be very little 'affected by
their bath in the ram.
