And his lung gown floated oat behind,
Ae down to the stream hi* Way betook,
Hi* pala hand* clasping a gilt edged book.
" t I'm bound for heaven ; and when I'm there,
1 shall want u?y book of Common Prajer ;
And though I put on a (tarry crown,
I should fool quite lost without my gown."
Then he Axed bi? eye on the ahining track,
But his gown war heavy, and held him back ;
And tho poor old father tried in rain,
A tingle flap in the Aood to gain.
I aaw him again on tho other aide,
Bat hU ailk gown floated on tho tide;
And no one Askod, tn that blissful spot,
Whether he belonged to " tho Church " or not I (
Then down to the river a Quaker strayed,)
Kit dreaa of *%ober hue waa made;
" My coat and hat must be all of gray,

Then ho buttoned his eoat straight ur> to his

And staidly, solemnly, waded in ;
And hU broad brimmed bat be palled down

Over hie forehead eo cold and white.
Bat a etrong wind carried away hie hat ,
A moment be silently elghed ever that;
And then, aa he gated to the fuithcr shoro,
The coat clipped off, and wee eeea no more.

Went quietly calling away, away;
And none of the aagete questioned him

Tied nicely np in hi* aged arm*.
And hymn* ae many, a very wl*e thing,

But I thought that he heaved an anxious eight
? Aa k? aaw the river ran broad and high,
And lookad rather surprised aa, one by one,

The water haa soakod thorn through and

And I bet* on tha river far and wide.
Away they went down the #wollen tide;
And the saint, astonished, passed through

Without hi# manuscript*, np to lb* throne.

They let'them alone til! thcV got

and would not he caught, aud Bruno
laid down again as before.
Next day they rode agsin prepared
to shoot the cur or scare Tiitu from hh
evil practices. A short distane^fioin

farm house appeared in sight. Out
came the cur. Uncle prepared to shoot,
when all of a sudden overcame Bruno,
seized the cur by the neck, fhook him ,
severely, and made him yell like fun ;
so much so that the family came out to

some words, or rather rubbing noses

When they all got home again the
animals had another conference and a

Never mix diflarent qualities in ihe

ibe poorest quality in the barrel o'r bag.
tlaireis are niucb preferable to bag* for

ittg mark upon each package of the
different grade*. L*-t all barrel* be
carefully and correctly tared, wiih each
tare marked on side of barrel, as well
as on tli# tread. If the above direction*
are dnaely followed, the frttft will daw
with the best grardea, and the Increase
of price over poor, mixed Xnd carete*?ly
packed fnilf, will amplv pay fhr the
extra trouble. This applies to almost
everything that is sent to market. Tt
matters not how dull an article may be,
when of good quality and !n good order,
it will not fail Yo bring highe*l
market prices. Then remember this,
and pack ail goods in neat order; mark
plain 'detections on every package, with {

how and when shipment* are made.
