C'.cse, Hard Man, A hard, close man was Solomon Bay, Nothing of value he gave away; no noarlinil and oared; Ho pinohed and shaved; And the moro he had, tho more he craved. The hard-earned.dollars he toiled to gain Brought him littlo but care and pain; For little he spent, And all he lent He made it bring him twenty per cent. Such was the life of Solomon Bay. The. years wen*- by; and his hair grew p?y; His cheeks grew thin. And his Boul within Grew hard.' as the dollars ho worked to win. Bat ho died one day, as all men must, For life is fleeting, and man but dust The hoira were gay . That laid him away, And ithat wss the end of Solomon Bay. They quarreled now, who hnd little cared For Solomon Bay while his lifo was eparod. His lands were sold, And his hard-earned gold All went to the lawyers, I am told. Yet mon will cheat and pinch and save, Nor carry'their treasures beyond the grave. All their gold some day Will melt away Liko tho selfish savings of Solomon Bay. !? %i ? Thuth Will Out.?Jokey crept up and sat down by his mothers uide, as she Was looking out of the window. After a few minutes of silence, he broke out with? '?Ma, ain't psi's pame Jacob?" "Yes, Jakey." "If I was called young Jacob, he'd be called old Jacob, wouldn't he?"; "Yes, my dear; but what makes you ask each a queotion as that?" '"Nothing, only I heard some? thing about him last 'night." Mrs. Watts suddenly became in? terested. "What was it, my son?" "Oh, nothing much; something the new Sunday school teacher said." "You oughtn't to have anything your mother don't know, Jakey," ooaxingly plead Mrs. Watts. "Well, if you must go poking into everything, Fll tell you. The now teacher says to me, 'What's your name, my .little man?' and when I said Jacob, he asked mo if I ever heard of old Jacob, and I thought that was pa's name, so I told him I guess I had, but I'd like to hear what he had to say about him. He said old Jacob used to be a little boy once, just like me, and had bean-shooters and stilts, and used to play hookey and get licked, and to tend cattle"? "Yes, I believe he said Iiis father rased to keep a cow," interrupted Mrs. Watts. "And he hogged his brother out of some thing or other, and he got struck with a young woman named Rachel, (Mrs. Watts became still more interested,) and was going to marry her, but her old man fooled him and made him marry bin other daughter; but pa said he guessed he was nobody's fool, and married them both." u "The wretch!" ejaculated , Mrs. Whtte,iBhaking her fist at Mr. W.'s slipper. ? /"M " "jtto' said oj?'1 'ffjt?p,?ad,atfpjfeq or two children,.andy-TTi- ,'. i. .

Jakey ifcitf he didn't know what she iSarridd him'$r, .buijSfo'd, not* catch him teUiog her Anything very soon agairjj if she was going to kick up such x '^W 'about it; and wenf out of tho room highly indig? nant. When Mr. Wa$* came home, he met Mrs. Wattd in the hall, with a very red face, who pointed her finger and- jerked Out the word "vfllainl" and asked him if ho could look his innocent wife and infant son in the face. Mr. Watts showed that he could by staring very hard 1 "Iliriow wnere1 you go, sir, when you' efcaV away from home," conti? nued Mrs. Watts. "I've heard the story of your perfidy. Can't you teil me how Rachel and that dther w?man is to-day?" she. asked with forced .calmness. Mr. Watts con? fessed his inability to enlighten her on the health of the ladies about whom she was so solicitous. Mrs. Watts said that she always know that something liko this would oc? cur, and ended with another hyste? rical interrogation after the chil? dren's health, but not receiving any satisfactory answer, she threw herself on the sofa again, and sob? bed and askod herself a few times why she ever left her mother; and then she called Jakey to her, and told him that they would have to live alone in a little house and be very poor, and may-be not havo enough to eat, which made that hopeful utter a series of most dole ful.howls, and hasten down to the kitchen to examine the larder. Later in the day, Mrs. Lewis happened in, and Mrs. Watts con? fided to her the story of her hus? band's villainy. Of course, Mrs. Lewis wua very properly shocked, and tried to impress upon Mrs. Watts the necessity of being philo? sophical, and left with the observa? tion that she had never seen a man with a mole on his noso who did not sooner or later prove to be a rascal. Towards evening, Jakey was sit? ting on the steps, having recovered from his grief of the morning, when the Sunday school teacher chanced to pass by, and Jakey ac? costed him with, "Say, mister, I told my mother what you told mo about old Jacob last night, and the old scratch has been to pay ever since. Ma called pa a villain and a bloody thief, and tried to break her back on the sofa, and said that there wouldn't be anything to cat, and there ain't been such a time since pa offered to kiss Aunt Jano good-bye. May-bo you had better drop in and see the old lady, mis? ter; though she ain't so bad as she was." The teacher, after some pressing, accompanied Jakey into the house, and was presented to MrB. Watts in the parlor. Mrs. Watts began to thank him for disclosing her husband's per? fidy, but he disclaimed having done anything of the kind, and at length, after considerable talking, it was discovered that Jakey had misap 5lied the story of the patriarch acob. Mrs. Watts started right out to hunt up Jacob, and when she found him, astonished him again by being as loving as she had been distant. Jakey is contented in the fact that there is no immedi? ate prospect of a lack of supplies in the family, and Mrs. Watts would be perfectl}' happy, if she could only shut Mrs. Lewis' mouth. Practical Christianity.?That I was a practical sort of Christianity which the Rev. Mr. Williams, an I old-time minister at Dudley, Mass., is said to have taught. It is related of him that when midway in his sermon on a sultry Sunday, he heard tho sound of distant thun? der; he glanced out of the window once or twice, stopped preaching, and remarked: "Brethren, I ob? serve that our Brother Crosby is not prepared for the rain. I think it our duty to help our Brother Crosby get in his hay before tho shower." Stepping down from the pulpit, he went with several of tho brethren to the hay-field and work? ed there for half an hour, when the hay was housed. Then, re? turning to the church, he took up the thread of his sermon where he had left it, and preached straight through to his "lifteenthly" and I "finally," without an omission. A. little girl braids tho hair of one who Bits in front of her, instead of studying, when, tho teacher re? marks, "Home is the place for ar? ranging hair?not here. What would you think of my braiding my hair in school?" Presently Susan's hand is raised, and the teacher, supposing she wished to ask some question about the les? sons, nods, when she hears the fol? lowing: "Mary says your hair is false, and you wouldn't dare to do it here."
