Two little girls, io the early morning of an October day^ were dressing in a sleepy fashion, or rather one of them wa* dressing, and the other sat on. the side of the bed looting at her. . .There;' said Bess, impatiently, ?now that mean old shoe-string must go and break, and I know that bell's just agoing to ring. Torn over the leaf. O asst, so wc eau be learning the text while we do our hair.* Gussie got np on thc bed, and turned over the leaf on a roll of texts, which hung on the wall, and then stood a ?Haute, reading it to herself. .Wbr don't you burr j V said Bess, looking up at her, 'you'll be awful late. ?Ij senses me! What a text to pick out fer folks ? 'A false batane?is ibomipwtiott ante the Lord/ Toa rs to me if I wa3 V Sunday-school committee, or whoever docs print ont these verses, rd B>d. some that has some sense to'ea/ *Why; Bessie Maynard, that's io the Bible, and I sh/d think- yon wouldn't dare to talk so/ said Gussie, with hor? rified eyes. * . Wefi, I don't mean just that way, of course. I mean sense for everybody. "Bto know yourself there's verses about wives, and husbands, and ministers, sad-and grandmothers, and they don't fit eveiybody. I should think that vern waa meant for grocery men that don't weigh things right, and I j us ft they had to learn it.' 'It's easy-io learn, anyhow,' said ame, 'only I like to think aboat my verse. Some ol them seem just a pur? pose Ibr me, like ?Diligent in business,' and 'Whatsoever thy hand.' .Yes, said Bess complacently, 'you are so slow, Gussie, and snch a put offer, bat there isn't a thing in this terse to think about.' There was a little silence, for Bessie wnw brushing her thick curly locks, tad it took all her patience to struggle through the tangles. ?That's because yon didn't brush it oat last night.' said Gussie. *I i'pose so ; bat it is such a bother. Dear me! I'm just going to braid it this way ; I can't stop.' *0, Bessie ! yon know mama won't like it; and it spoils your hair,' said 'It'll do for once,' said Bess ; it looks all right, anyhow.' .I wonder'--began Gussie, and then sudden ly'stopped. 'What T inquired Bess. *I don't know-I thought maybe that might be what the text meant,' said Gussie, slowly; 'sort of half doing things ; not giving quite so much as yon pretend to' Gussie stopped, afraid of offending the sister of whose superior gifts she stood greatly in awe; 1>ot Bess ou ly laughed as she answered, 'You do think : of the queerest things, Gussie ' That was what they all said of Gussie, but she kept on thinking. It was her day to dust the parlor. .I'M help you,' said Bess ; 'and then j you'll get through, so we can go for chestnuts.' 'Bat you don't do the corners, Bessie^ and you haven't moved any of the books,' said Gussie, as she watched - her sister's rapid whisks of the duster. ?What's the difference T said Bess It looks all right ; you s'pose anybody's, going to peek around after a speck of . dost? There, new, that's done.' Bot Gussie with the thought of that lalee balance io ber queer little head, kept on until the work was thorough? ly dene, saying to herself, 'if I pretend1 to give mamma a pound of work and only give ncr half a pound, Tin sure that's a deceitful balance.' The next thing in order was to pick over the grapes for jelly, and even pa- j tient Gussie sighed over the big basket, bot, as usual, Bessie's part was com? pleted long before hers. 'I wish you could learn to be a little morenimple with your fingers, Gussie,' said her mother, and Bessie added, in an andertone, 'Ifs 'caase you fuss so ; 8'posin' a bad grape does go in now and then who's going to know it when they "re all smashed op "?' don't '.are/ said Gussie, feeling a little touched by her mother's criticism. 'I shan't have any balance 'bout my work, 'canse the Lord can tell a bad grape if ?tis smashed up. and it isu't the grape that matters, it's putting it io. Only one thing more s'ood be? weeti the little girls and the holiday excur? sions for chestnuts. The history les? son mus' be learned for Monday, and then they would be as free as the birds 'How I bato it,' said Gussie-'stupid, dry stuff about ad-min-is-lcr-a-tious. I don't see any use in knowing it, any? how.' .Ill tell you what,' said Bess, ?let's begin aboa* the middle, because the first of it never does come to os.' 'And t*wn,'said Gussie, 'Miss Marcy j will s'pose of course we know the be- j ginniog. .Yes,' needed Bess, beginning to gabble over the words. I'm going to j finish in half .?n hour-'On account ' of these things it was plainly ?mpos- ? ?We'- . - I 'Bot we don't know what ibiugs.' j said Gussie. *3? and I don't care.* 1 .And if Miss Marcy s-'poses we know and gives ss a credit, it'll be a deceitful balance, 'cause we make ber think wc know a pound wlt?n we.only know half half a pound.* 'Bessie's face flushed a ll:tie. 'I just wish, Gussie Maynard, you wouldn't talk any mote about that grocery man's text. It's just nonsense tryiug to make it Ot us.* But after all Bessie did not feel quite comfortable, and she went back and reamed the beginning of her lesson. 'There,' she enid, 'that's good, full weight and ? don't intend to bc a 'boai ioation any more.* Preaching. A plain farmer iu a country congrega? tion, over which was settled a very dull preacher, was on?c asked how lie managed to get along with his dominic. 'Oh, ^ .11,'was thc reply, *he aiut above us for one thing, and then he always preaches the gospel.' There is more in this reply than would appear at first. Too much of the preaching of our day is 'above' the people, and runs off from their ears.like water from a duck's back, and this not because tho speaker studies so hard, tut because bc does not study in the right way. lie does not take ;;.?ins to be so lucid and plain that his hearers must understand him. Daniel Webster used to address tnass-meefings in a political campaign in such a way that country people un? derstood him with ease. If a mau will make himself master of a sar jed and then set it forth with directness and simplicity, and without taking too much for granted as to the kuowledge of bis hearers, be will get and keep j their attention. But not a few are un? willing lo bestow the pains needed for this, and so their words go above the people and pass into the empty air. A^ain, it is certain, that^ it takes .a great deal of stupidity to kill t-he Gos? pel's power. Even accomplished theo? logians,, as Drs. Livingston or Archi? bald Alexander, who are af the same time truly devout and spiritual men, will s?t.undcr a series of 'distressing platitudes, and yet be refreshed. The tflitb, the precious truth of God, deliv? ered on his own day and iu his own house, comes to their ears, and how? ever wearisome its accompaniments, they rejoice in it as they that Sud great spoil. And so with many of lesser abilities. They get no intellectual stimulus, their minds are not r< used by new or fresh aspects of truth, yet famil? iar doctrines, precepts or promises are set before them, aud they absorb spirit? ual nutriment They get what they come for, another presentation cf old and familiar truth, and this feeds their souls They are not astonished with eloquence, orginality or force, but they have what is far better, such an utter? ance of the Word as quickens their j memories and warms their hearts - ' Christian Inteligenc.er. - - I > ll ll IIW - Oar Influence. Every spoken word, every outward act, is a help or a hindrance to those with whom we are associated. Every word or action sets iu motion a wave of influence which flows on into eternity. O that we fully realized this, that loug after .we have died and been forgotten, others will be guided iu certain direc- j tions and led to do certain things, j either'for good or evtl, because we to? day were patient and kind and honest and conscientious, or cross and dishon? est and wicked and faithless. We may live an outwardly reputable life, may? at last, by the mercy of God, reach heaven, while others, influenced by our example, may be forever lost, 'f?ow earnestly ought we to pray on this, the threshold of another year, that our lives may be so pure and true that otheis may *take knowledge of us as we follow Christ. Let us do nothing we would not be willing our dearest friend should imitate. No life Can be pure in its-purpose and strong it its "thought And all life not be purer and stronger thereby. COMPTROLLER.

FREMONT, Ohio, Jan: 25th, 1881. Dr. B. J. Kendall & Co., Gents;-I think it my duty to render you my thanks for ben? efits and profits which I have derided from your invaluable and far fame of Spavin Cure. My cousin and I had a^aluabie stallion, worth $400 \vhif!i had a very bad spavin and was prono?riced oy four eminent veterinary surgeons, beyond any cure, and that the horse was' done forever. Asa last resort I ad? vised my cousin to try a bottle of Kendall's Spavin Cnre. It had a magical effect, the third bottle cured it and the horse is as well as ever. Dr. Dick of Kdinburg, the eminent veterinarj* surgeon was an uncle of mine, and I take great interest in assisting his pro? fession. JAMES A. WILSON, Civil Engineer. SPITBALL'S SPATttT G?BS. CHARLESTON , S. C., July 22, 1833. Dr. B. J Kendall -fe Co*, Dear Sirs :-I pur? chased at Louisville, Ky., a very fine bred colt, and in shipping he got his hock badly hurl on the outside of the joint which caused it to swell three or four times the natural size, which made him very lanie. 1 ?tried a great many liniments which fa?ed ?o benefit tho injured part. " Af IasT rwh?lT*"disgu8ted, and ready to gire up the colt ns ruine?, I happened to see your advertisement of "Ken? dall's Blister and Spavin Cure,''* and thought I would give it a trial, I first applied the ?'Blister" to the hock which by this time hud become calloused, and to my surprise fonud it work like a charm. In twenty four hours the part that was bard became soft and the tameless began toTeare. I then got some of "Kendall's Spavin Cure'' and applied it ac according to directions , which has made a perfect cure, and the colt is now as sound as any horse alive. 1 merely write this letter to you, HS I think it a duty I owe to you, and also for the"good of the public at large. The foregoing staTerrHyiLi-itili_ davit tu, and can aiso have the sam? by the best horsemen in our city who saw the before and after treatment. Very Respect full v, . 12 Chapel St., JOHN K. ARNOLD.
