pittwiww ?5pattmcttt. r_ ? w 1 PUTTING. UP STOVES. . AVe do not remember the exact date of the invention of stoves; but it was some years ago. Since then mankind has been tormented once a year by the difficulties that beset the task of nutting them up, and getting the pipe fixed. With all our Yankee ingenuity no American has ever yet invented any method by which the labors of putting up a stove can be lessened. The job is as severe and vexatious as humanity can possibly endure, and gets more so every year. Men always put their stoves up on a rainy day. Why, we know not; but we never knew an exception to the rule. The first step to be taken is to put on a very old and ragged coat, under the impression that when he gets his mouth full of plaster, it will keep the shirt bosom clean. Next the operator gets his hand inside the place where the pipe ought to so, and blacks his fingers, and then he carefully makes a black mark down one side of his nose. It is impossible to make any headway in doing this work, until this mark is made down the side of the nose. Having got his face properly marked, the victim is ready" to begin tne ceremony. The head of the family, who is the big goose of the sacrifice?grasps one side of the bottom of the stove, and his wife and the hired girl take hold of the other side. In this way the load is started from the woodshed toward the parlor. Going through the door, the head of the family will carefully swing his side of the stove aronnd and jam his thumb nail against the door post This jpart of the ceremony is never omitted. Having got the family oomfort in place, the next thing is to find the legs. Two of these are left inside the stove since the Spring before. The other two must be hunted after for twenty-five minutes. They are usually found under the co&L Then the head of the family holds up one side of the stove while the wife puts two of the legs in place, and nextite holds up the other side while the other . two are being fixed, and one of the first two falls out. By the time the stove is on its legs, he get reckless and takes off his old coat, regardless of his linen. Then he goes for the pipe and gets two cinders in his eye. It don t make any difference how well the pipe was put up last year, it will always be found a little too short or a little too loner. The head of the family iains his hat over his eyes and taking a pipe under each arm goes to a tin shop to have it fixed. When he gets back he steps on one of the best parlor chairs to see if the pipe fits, and his wife makes him get down for fear he will scratch the varnish from the chair with the nails in his boot heel. In getting down he will sorely tread on the cat, and *i$y thank his stars that it is not the baby. Then he gets on an old chair and climbs up to the chimney again, to find that on catting the pipe off, the end has been left too big for the hole in the chimney. So he goes to the woodshed and splits one siae of the pipe with an old axe, seizes and squeezes it in his hand to make it smaller. . Finally he gets the pipe in shape and finds that the stove does not stand true. Then him, self and wife and the hired girl move the stove to the left, and the legs fall out again. Next it is a move to the right. More difficulty now with the legs. Move to the front a little. Elbow not even with the hole in the chimney, and the head of the family goes again to the woodshed after some little blocks. While putting the blocks under the legs, the pipe comes out of the chimney. That remedied, the elbow keeps tipping over, to the great alarm of his wife. Head of the family gets the dinner table out, puts the old chair on it, gets his wife hold of the chair, and balances himself on it to drive some nails into the ceiling. Drops the hammer on his wife's head. At last gets the nails driven, makes a wire swing to hold the pipe, hammers a little here, pulls a little there, takes a long breath, and announces the ceremony concluded. Job never put up any stoves. It would Il?

A Devil of a Mistake.?A good story is told of an old gentleman in a Southern State, who, being very ill, and supposing tha? his end was approaching, gave directions that an old slave who had been very faithful to him, should be called into his room. Sam made his appearance, and with a joyful face drew near nis master, expecting that he was about to announce to him his purpose of leaving him free. "You know," said the master, "you have been a faithful servant to me, Sam." "Yes, massa," he replied. Poor Sam expected the next sentence to contain his freedom. But said the master kindly: "You know, Sam I always treated vou kindly." "Yes, massa, you did." v i Sam was now all anxiety to hear, and looked gratefully into the face of his dying master, and waited to hear the charming word "Freedom !" But what was Sam's disappointment when his master said: "In consideration of your long and faithful service, 1 have directed in my Will that when you die you shall be buried by my side." After a loug pause, Sam replied: "Me no like it indeed, massa, for some dark night Debel come, look for massa and take }>oor Sam." A Little Story about Mr. Lincoln.? The Titusville (Pa.) Herald relates the following : Mr. Lincoln was much pestered by officeseekers. A gentleman from Illinois, who thought himself peculiarly fitted to represent the country abroad, followed Mr. Lincoln with great portiuacity, button-holing him at all times and in every place without the slightest mercy. Finally the President, with a pleasant smile, asked him if he could sjieak Spanish. "No." "Well, learn Spanish, and I will tell you of a good thing you cau get." After three months of hard study, the wouldbe diplomat returned to the charge, reminding Mr. Lincoln of his promise, and assuring him he had thoroughly mastered the Spanish language. "Well^! said Mr. Lincoln, "I promised to tell yottef* good thing you could get. Get Don Quixote and read it; it will make you laugh." 4SF" A small darkey of Montgomery, AJ?, sent out to pick berries the other day, buttoned himself up closely in the remnant of a Yankee overcoat. When he returned to his mother, she observed it and accosted him: "What vou wear dat thick coat for, sicli a hot i . V no ur\ ?? .I i (lay as cus : i^ause, wuuuuv, suiu me loyal hoy, "de Yankees does it." "You're a little fool," said the indignant old mammy; "do you s'jjose de Yankees got as much sense as we 'Mericans has!" ? + flsBf A Yankee in Paris, who was listening to the boasts of some English aud French about the wonderful genius of their respective countrymen, at last "broke out" and said: "O pshaw! yeou git out! Why, there's Billy Devine, of our village, who kin paint a piece of cork so exactly like marble that the minute vou throw it into the water it will sink to the bottom jes' like a stone."8?" A hen in West Winsted, Conn., has been sitting for several weeks on seven potatoes, which have sprouted and grown above her head. fUatfttuj fat the $aMratb. ORIGINAL AND SELECTED. REPENTANCE. Ministers of the gospel urge, very frequently, upon their hearers the duty of repenting. This is right and proper, but it is very important that the hearer understand what is meant by repentance. The standard to which we must resort for a definition and explanation of this term, is the word of God. We must not devise a meaning which is consonant with our notions of the doctrine, for in most cases this will be wrong. From the Bible we learn that there are two kinds of repentance, one of which is not pleasing in the sight of God, and not followed by spiritual comfort to the individual. This repentance is a mere external reformation, and is well calculated to deceive us. If God had no regard to the emotions of the heart, this external reformation would be pleasing to him; but He looks at the heart. The leading characteristic of this kind of repentance is that it is selfish in its ends and aims. Sin is forsaken from motives which are purely selfish. Sin is viewed merely as a temporal evil, affecting the body and not the soul. It is regarded as ruinous to the transgressor, but not as dishonoring to God. Hence the drunkard quits his bottle; not because he regards drunkenness as a sin against God, but as only jeopardizing his health and tarnishing his reputation amongst his fellow men. The profane swearer often ceases to use blasphemous language; not because he reverences the name of God in his heart, but because he has learned, by experience, that profane swearing is attended with no profit, and is, withal, an evidence of vulgar manners. The thief often leaves off his pilfering habits, and before men lives an honest life, from no higher -motives than the dread of the whipping post, or the penitentiary. No doubt many of those who are included in the classes mentioned, think they have repented; but it is clear, from a very cursory observation, that all of them want but the opportunity, and they would return to their old ways and become more degraded than ever before. Sin may thus be covered up and concealed for a time, but something else must take place or it will discover itself again. /Sometimes there is combined with this selfish principle spoken of before, a principle of fear and dread. The offender trembles when he thinks of God visiting him with his righteous indignation. Hell, with its awful agonies, are viewed with horror and with the fear which characterizes the offending slave; the sinner quails and cowers before God's law. Like one of old he turns his face to the wall and goes gently; or, like another, he trembles when righteousness and the judgment to eo?e are spoken of. This kind of repentance is beautifully described by the Scotch poet thus : "The fear, o' hell's the hangman's whip, . To hand the wretch in order." The other kind of repentance spoken of in the Scriptures is very different from this selfish and legal repentance. Externally they have some general resemblance, but the motives from which they spring, and the ends'at which they aim, are totally different. The former may be called a spurious repentance, and "needs to be repented ofthe latter may be called true and evangelical repeutance, and is pleasingin the sight of God. The characteristics of true repentance are many and obvious. It is distinguished by this peculiar feature, that the sinner has correct views with regard to sin. Out of God's word he is instructed relative to the nature and consequences of sin. His eyes are enlightened and he sees that he has dishonored God and imperiled his own soul. But he not only has intellectual discernments of these facts, but his emotional nature is aroused from its slumbers and he weeps over his sins. He feels like the child who has insulted a kind and affectionate parent He weeps. His heart is ready to break, his soul is filled with anguish and grief. But another characteristic of true repentance is that the subject of such divine operation upon his mind has communicated to him that there is mercy with God. Like the prodigal son, he feels that he has nothing, but that there is plenty in his father's house ; he is convinced that he has forfeited all claim to sonship, but still he is anxious to take the position of a hired servant in his father's house. In true repentance there is a literal returning to God. The affections are placed upon Him, and the law of God is obeyed and honored. The necessity of repentance is clearly taught in every part of the Bible. The neglect of it will be attended with results which will fill the souls of the impenitent with utter dismay. Do You Pray in Your Family??This question may perhaps meet the eye of some head of a family who neglects this duty. II so, I know you feel guilty. It is not necessary to argue the duty to you. But suffer me, my dear friend, to ask you why it is so? You have a family whose life, health and prosperity depend alone on God's blessing. Have you a right to believe he will continue his blessings upon them if you do not acknowledge him in prayer before them? You know moreover, that there is a fearful declaration in God's word, which applies to you and youi family, as long as you neglect family prayer "Pour out thy fury upon the heathen thai know thee not, and upon the families that cal not on thy name." I know, however, thai while your conscience is not at ease on thii subject you find some mode of easing youi neglect. You perhaps say that you cannoi pray before others. We should be cautiou: as to what we say. Can you really not speal before your family and your neighbors ? Whj not, then, pray before them ? Y ou say yoi have not the gift of prayer. But does th< Bible require gifted prayer ? We see no grea' gift in the words, "God be merciful to me i sinner." A broken and contrite spirit wil not be despised, let the language be what ii may. Many words are not necessary. Scrip ture prayers are generally very short. Tin great fault with most persons in family ant social prayer is continuing too long in prayer If you are neglecting family prayer, I woulc entreat you to delay no longer. Begin thif night. The cross will soon vanish. It ma> be the means of the temporal and eternal sal vation of your offspring. If you can say nc more, then simply say, the Lord bless us foi Christ's sake, Amen! or, God be merciful tc us sinners!?Exchange. V&F "It was my invariable custom in my youth," says the celebrated Persian writer, "tc rise from my sleep to watch, pray and read the Koran. One night, as I was thus engaged, my father, a man of practiced virtue, awoke. 'Behold,' said I to him, 'thy other children are lost in irreligious slumber, while I alone am awake to praise God.' 'Son of my soul,' said he, 'it is better to sleep than tc awake to remark the faults of thy brethren.'" ?li? ftrtkvin? (Shipiw.
