KEEP THE GATE SHUT.
A farmer was one day at work in
his fields when he saw a party of
horsemen riding about his farm.
He lead one field that he was spe-
cially'snxioue that they should not
ride over, as the crop teas in a con
dition to be badly injured by the
tramp of horses. So ho despatched
one of his boys to the field, telling
him to shut the gate, and then keep
watch over it, and on no account to
suffer it to be opened.
The boy went as he was bidden,
but was scarcely at his post before
the huntsmen came up, peremptor-
ily ordered the gate to be opened.
This the boy declined to do, stating
the ordersjbe had received, and his
determination not to disobey them.
Threats and bribes were offered,
alike in vain ; one after another
came forward as spokesman, but all
with the same result : the boy me-
mained immovable in hie determin•
ation not to open the gate. After
a while one of noble presence ad-
vanoed and eaid, in commanding
tones : "My, boy, you do nob know
me. I am the Duke of Wellington,
one not accustomed to be disobeyed,
and I command you to open that
gate, that I and my friends may
past through."
The boy lifted his cap and stood
uncovered before the man whom all
England delighted to honor, then
answered firmly : "1 am sure the
Doke of Wellington would not wish
me to disobey orders. I must keep
thie gate shut and not allow any
one to pass, but with my masters
exprons permission."
Greatly pleased, the sturdy old
warner lifted his awn hat and said :
'I honor the matt or boy who can
o neither bribed nor frightened in.
b
voice : "hurrah I hurrah 1 I have
done what Napolean couldn't do :
I've kept out the Duite of Welling
ton."
Every boy is a gatekeeper, and
his Master's command is "Be thou
faithful unto death." Are you
tempted to drink, to smoke or chew
tobacco ? Keep the gate of your
mouth fast closed, and allow no evil
oompauy to enter.
When evil companions would
counsel you to lie, to deal falsely,
to disobey year parents keep the
gate of your ears fa -t shut against
such entloemeute, And when the
bold blasphemer would instil doubts
of tate great truths of revelation,
then ltecp the door of your heart
looked and barred against his in.

that it is only the fool that hath

Household Hints,
Sprinkle cayeune pepper in the
resorts of rats, and they will leave
the promises.
Electric silicon powder is very
nice for polishing brass.
White and pale shades of paint
may be beautifully cleaned by using
uniting in the water.
Plenty of clothes pins should be
kept handy. Have a box for these
and drop them into the suds once in
a while, and then wipe them dry,
as they are apt to get dusty, and
soil the clothes.
Much sickness in farmei a fem.

rooms.
To clean oil paintings, first brush
them, then wash with warm milk
diluted with water ; rub with a
piece of flannel dipped in tarpon.
tine and then with a dry flannel.
Green corn and Lima beans de•
teriorate more quickly than any oth
er vegetables ; they should be spread
out singly on the cool collar flour
as quickly as possible after they
come from the market.
Good eggs may be quickly desig•
naiad by their dull shell and clean
appearance. An old or etale egg,
as a rule, has a dull, porous -looking
shell.
In using a rough chamois to
touch up highly polished silver, it
is frequently observed to scratch the
work ; this is caused by particles of
dust, and even hard powder, that
are left in the leather, and must be
got out.

We can hardly learn humility

her eyes only to the end.—Bishop
Hall.

Melville.
God does not always bring the
help he might nor as soon as he
inight; but he asks us to trust him
alike when ho comes and when he
tarries, when he eosins to be watch-
ing tsnd when he seems to be sleep•
ing.— [Abbott.
All the sin that hat darkened
human life and saddened human
history began in believing a false-
hood ;• all the power of Christianity
to maks men holy is associated with
believing the truth.—[3. A. 13roadus.
Remember, dear reader, the love
of men and women is very sweet,
but all must pass away ; and what
will you do if you have no wealth
but the wealth that fadeth, no love
but the love which dies, when death
shall come 7—[Spurgeon.
We hold reunions not for the
dead, for there is nothing in all the
earth that you and I can do for the
dead. They are past our help, and
past our praise. We eau add to
them no glory, we can give to them
no immortality. They do not need
us but forever and forever more we
need them.—[Garfield.
A calm, self.possessed captain of
a vessel was asked : "Captain, I
suppoee you know where every rook
and shoal is along this whole coast,
do you not ?" "I know where they
are not," was his reply, which is a
more important thing. Admirable
answer. I£ your faith is fixed on
God; and your heart is wedded in
hie service, you will know where
the dangers and difficulties and
mysteries and oontradiotions aro

ally deranged, and threatened to take
his life rather than be a burden on
his friends. He built a coffin for
himself, took it into the woods some
two miles from home, dug a grave
and planed the coffin in it. When
found the coffin lid was raised, rest -
mg on a stick, with boughs and
sods on top of it. The would-be
suicide moved the coffin farther
away. Three weeks ago he distal).

to have contained poison, were found
in the coffin.
A remarkable instance of feline
daring was observed in Mount For.

gan's son held the opinion that

order to eatiefy himeoif as to this
wotched the oat, which went to the
river, and going out on a log,
crouched there and soon reached
out quickly with its two front paws
and snatohed a good sized fish from
the water—fully six inches in length
—which is transferred to its mouth
and -walked ashore. When it is
taken into considerittion that can
aro invariably averse to water this
feat of Mrs. Morgan's cat is all the
more remarkable.
