I For twenty years and over our good parson has been toiling, To chip the bad meat from our hearts ahd keep the good from spoiling ; But finally he wilted down, and went to looking sickly, . . And the doctor suid that sotnething must be put up for him quickly, So we kind of clubbed together, each accord- ing to his notion, And boughta circular ticket in the lands across the oce: we thought would easy do him-- And appointed me committee thati to go and take it to him. I found him in his study looking rather worse than ever, i And I told him 'twds decided that his flock and he should sever, Then his eyes grew wide with wondet, dnd it seemed almost to olind 'em ; And some tears looked out o' window, with some others close behind 'em. Then I handed him the ticket with a little bow of deference, And he studied quite a little ere he got its proper reference; And then the tears that waited, grew un- managable creatures, Let themselves quite out o' window and came climbing down his features II. I wish you could lave seen him coming back all fresh and glowing, His clothes so worn and seedy, and his face so fat and knowing ; I wish you could have heard hith when he prayed for us who sent him, And payed us back twice over all the money we had lent him, "Twas a feast to all believers, 'twas a blight on contradiction, To Lear one just from Calvary talk about the ctucifixion ; Twas a damper an those fellows who pre- tended they could doubt it, To have a mun who'd been there stand up and tell them all about it, Paul maybe beat our pastor in the bible knots unraveling, And establishing new churches, but be couldn't touch him traveling | Nor in his journeys pick up half the general information , But then he hadn't the railroads and the steamboat navigation; | And every foot of scripture whose Jocwtion used to stump us Was now regularly laid "out, with the dif- ferent points of compass, When he undertook a picture, he quite natural would draw it; He would paint it out so honest that it scem- ed as if you saw it, | An' the way he chiseled Europe--oh, the way he seampered through it! i Not a mountain dodged nis climbing, not a tity but he knew it ; | There wasn't any subject to explain in all | creation, | But he could go to Europe and bring back | an illustration, So we crowded out to hear him, much in | structed and delighted ; "Twas a picture show, a lecture, and a ail 4 80 sermon, all united; 2 26 | And 83% wife would wipe her glasses, and | 8 00 serenely pet her testament, 1 is And whisper, 'that 'ere ticket was a very 2 00 good investment,' 24 00 111, 10 00 2 00 | Now after sfx months' travel we were most 5 33 of us all ready 8 96 | To settle down a little, 80's to live more 5:83 staid and steady ; g81 84 | To develope home resources, with ho foreign cares to fret us, Using home-made faith more frequent; but «1611 51 the parson wouldn't let us, . 218 27 : 7462 09 | To view the selfiame scenery time and time a 883 50 agatt he'd call us, . 132 78 3806 50 1500 00 "es 27 60 + 2180 00 Over rivers, plains and mountaius he would any minute haul us; : 261 97 | He slighted our home sorrows, and our . 414 14 spirits' aches and ailings, "es 81 84 To get the cargoes ready for his regular Sunday sailings.

Balky Horses. The Socicty for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals puts torth the following rules for the treatment of bulky horses: 1. Pat the horse upon the neck; oxamine the harness carefully, first on one side then on the other, speak- ing encouragiongly while doing so, then jump into the wagon and give | the word go; generally ho will obey. 2. A team: ter in Maine says he can start the worst balky horse by taking him out of the shafts and making him go round in a circle till be is giddy. If the first dance of this sort dosen't cure bim, the second will. 3. To cure a balky horse, simply place your hand over the horse's nose and shut off his wind till Le wants to go, and then let nim go. 4. The brain of the horse scems to edtertain bau one idea at a time; therefore continued whipping ouly confirms his stubborn resoive. If you can by any means 'give him a new subject to think of, you will generally have no trouble in start- ing him. A simple remedy is to take a couple of turns of stout twine {around his foreleg, just below toe knee, tight enough for the horse to feel, and tiein a bownot. At the first check he will go dancing off) and after going a short distance you can get outand remove the string to prevent injury to the tendon in your further drive. iii epa---- < The day betore a Turkish girl is married she is taken to the bath by her lady friends and lumps of sugar a9 broken over her head as a fore- cast of the sweots of matrimony .-- A year or two afterwards her hus- band breaks the whole sugar bowl over her head.

The meat may be served in a tureen if approved of.
