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.'

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 lost, that Mrs. Erskino at last bogan to suspect that the handkerchiefs wore 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 tho minister, on one occasion, ns he] lolled over the side of the pulpit? in fact, unable to stand upright?said' that he loved his people so much thutl he would carry them all to heaven on! his back, 1 asked him, 'Now Jolin, whorij you heard him say so. what impression! did so strange a speech make oil you ?\\ Cithers, to the same question, as uffl willing witnesses as John, had alre idyl said that tlinugh they would not say he] was drunk at the time, tliej certaiulyj thought so. 'Hut ?lohn showed hiuHelf equal to] the occasion. 'Well,' he replied, 'Maisler (juthrio, I'll just tcll you wliat I thought.
