that mny principal business is to get
there. I then l.ook down on the earth,
and call to mind how small a space I
shall occupy in it when I come to be
iiterred ; I then look abroad on the
world, and observe what nultitudes
there are in all respects more urihap

true happiness is placed, where all
our cares rust end, how very little
reason I have to repine or complain.

AN amuisin g incident occurred in
1o of our down east churches some
years ago. The clergyman gave out
on a pleasant Sabbath in July:
I love to steal awhile away
From every cumbering carei,
And spend the hours of setting da7
In humble, grateful prayer.
The regular chorister being absent,
the dutv devolved upon the good old
Deacon~ M., who cominienced:
"I love to steal"
And then bagged down, and raising
his voice to a still higher pitch, he sung
"I loye to steal
And, as before, he concloded he -had
got the wrong pitch, and deploring that
he had not his "pitch tuner," he deter.
mined to succeedw if ho died in the at,
tempt.
fly this time all tihe old ladies were
tittering behtind their fans, while the
f aces of the "young 'uns" were all in a
broad grin. At length, nfier a des.
pierate couagh, he made a final demon,
stration, and roared "ut:
"I lovo to steal"

was lauughitng. who arose, and with the~
utmuo-t coohiess, said:
