A Lightning Rod Man's Mistake.
Up in Walhalla, tlie other day, a
lightning-rod ronn drove up in front of
a hnndsome cdiOee standing in the midst
of ticcs and'shrubs, and spoke Mr. Sum
liters, who wag siting on the s'eps in
front. Ho accosted Summer, as the own
er of the rcsidcuce, and said)
?I sec you have no lightning rods on
this house.'
'No,'said Summers.
f
'Are you going to put any on?'
l *Wcll, I hadn't thought of it,' repPod
Summers.
'You ought to. A tall building like
this is very much exposed. I'd like to
rim you up on ? of tuy rods} twisted s eel
glass fcudcrs, ntcklo plated tips, every
thing complete. Muy I put up one to
show you? I'll do the job cheap.'
'Certainly you may if you want to. I
havn't the slightest objection,' said Sum
in era.
During the next half hour the mm
hud his ladders up and his assistance at
work, and at the cud of that time the
job was done. He culled S uuimers out
iuto the yard to admire it. He.said to
Su miners.
?Now that is well enough, but if it
was my house, I'd have another rod Oil
the other side. There is nothing like
being protected throughly.'
'Thnt's true, said Summers, 'it would
be bettor-'
?I'll put up nnotlior?shall I ?' a>;ke J,
the man.
'Why of course, if.youthink it's host,
said Summers.
Accordingly the man went 'to work
again and soon had the rod in its pine t,
''That's a fiist <r?ii?e .job,' he said to
Summers, as they both jd eyeing it;
'I like such a man as you are. Big ho>r
ted, liberal, not afraid to put a. dollar
down for a <;ood thing. 1 here's souiv
phasunviii rte:>lj^?asfti^ you . I_ 'J.k
you so intuit i'hat I'd pttl a ?double rn?^
rods on that house, one mi the north isii'i"
and one on the south, almost for noth
in.'
'It should make things safe, 1 sup
po-e.1 said Sum nur?.
?Certainly it would. I'd better do it,
hadn't I ? hoy?'
'J.ust as you think proper,' sui.l Sa ?
ninrn.
So the men ran up two more rodi*,
and then came down and said to Sum
mors:
"*Tberc?that's done. Now Jot's settle
up.''
?^VW'---_..
'Whj the job iu finished, nnd now TTT"
take my money
?You-dou't-expect me <to pay,you, I
hope ?'
?Of course I do. Didu't yon tell me
to put those rods on your house ?'
'My house?' shouted Summers.?
I 'Thunder and lightning ! I never or
dcred you to put tho&e up. It would
have boeu ridiculous. Why, man. this
is the court hou.*e, and I 'in here waiting
for the oourt to assemble. I'm nn the
jury; You seemed to bo anxious to
rush out your rods, nnd ub it was none
of uiy business I let you go ou. Pay
for it 1 Come, now, that's pretty
good!'
The Wnlhalla neople say that the
mnnuer in which that lightning rod man
tore around and swore was fearful. Hut
when he got his rods off the court house
he lest permanently. He don't fancy
the place.
Power of Kindness.
A driver, pclon'jing to tho great
Northern Ruil*vay goods station, hail oc
ension to pass up the Quadrant Head
highway, Now York, to deliver a pack.
?go, On approaching one of the houses
he wno aeon by a lady in the window,
who immediately said to some friends
bluying with her :
'Here comes tho kind driver; do
come and Bee what power ho has over
his horses.'
The friends accordingly en no to tho
window, when Boujainin Sm'uhson, the
driver in question, was asked to 'shake
hands' with his horses. With great
good humor ho at onco complied. Stand
ing in front of the pair of horses ho
called out,
'Tom, Bhake bunds.'
Instantly the noar horso liftorj up his
right toot After a shako; the driver
said.
?Now, Tom, the other foot,'
Up went the foot instantly. Tho
driver then went in front of tho other
horse, when a similar soeuo ocourrod'
Perhaps, however, the most pleasing
incident remains to be told. Retreating
backwnrds several yards from the hor
ses, he called out;
'Now, Tom, turn round, and corue
on.'
Instantly the horsns pulled away at
their load, turned tho van rouud with
out the slightest need of so much as
the crack of u whip, and followed the
clever driver, as the dog would the
shepherd.
Such nn instance shows clearly how
much can be done with animals, but es
pecially with the horse, simply by the
power of kindness.
Mr. Giles' Home.
'You have done the chores, haven't
you, wife?' said Mr. Giles, coming in
one nifiht. about sundown.
'No, dear; 1 bad supper to get, and
the baby was so cross.'
'You haven't been getting supper all
the afternoon, 1 hope.'
'No 'r I had some washing to do. and
tho windows to clean, and piis to bake,
and?'
'Oh, stop that, please! To hear you
talk one would think you bad more
than your share of woik. I'm sure
there is no man tries harder than I do
to flava his wife's steps, and this is all
the thanks I get for it. Don't go to
contradicting tnc. Give mo the milk
buckets. If I ask you to milk, you will
have a dozen escases. I want Katie to
go with me to keep tho bogs off while I
milk.'
Katie goes, and her father keeps her
throe quarters of an hour, and then tells
her she can po and take cn re of the
?balvy -while her 'mother attends to the
milk. I>D -about 6ve -ruinates .dr. Giles

Pulpit Anecdotes.
Dr. Guthrie, the celebrated Scotch
minister, has left behind him a pleasant
autobiography. It wns written in tho
decline of his life, and yet bus the fresh
ncss of superabundant animal spirits. He
tells two eapital stories which illustrate
ecclesiastical lifo in Scut land, aud the
quiet humor of Scotchmen. One is of
Dr. Erskine, u great preacher iu his
day,
'Dr. Ei ski mi was remarkable for bis
simplicity of manner and gentle temper.
11c returned so often from the pulpit
minus his pockot liandkerohief, aud
could tell so little how or where it was

stolon us he ascended tho stairs, by some
of the old wives who lined it. So both
to bulk aud detect tho culprit, she sowed
a corner ofu handkerchief to one of the
pockets of his coat-tails. Half way up
tho stairs the good doctor felt a tug,
whorcupou he turned round to tho old
woman who wai tho guilty hand , to say
with great calmness and simplicity, 'No
the day, honest -woman, no the day
Mrs. Krskine has sewed it in.'
Another -is of Dr. Outline's ox par
icnce in examining a witness in a churol*
trial, who did not wish to tell all lie
knew. The caso was that of a minister,
charged with drunkenness J
-'Besides other proofs of drunkenness*
having drawn this out of witness, thatj
