"Geel l'Il bat that'e a mean anan,"1 said the boy who bad sold a paper and had been caiied back te give up the cent whlch had beau missing in the change., " Somle peeple's awfui stingy, ain't they?" ventured his companson. "Well, 1 shonld say yes," responded the first. "What's a cent to a man any WaY? And jt's a lot te a kid. Vve been trylng to save enough for a reali'dead' bail almost ail summer now and ain't been abie to gat enough yet." "Huh! that's nething. So did L." "~Say, you going te schooi when it takes up?" "I dont know. Daddy says I amn if he gets a job." "Ain't your daddy--" Off tbey rushad, each striving to beat thea other te a customer iu the middle of, the block. Rach morning the mean man took the car at th- same corner. Rach mornlng hu bought a paper from the sanie boy, axacting invariabiy correct change. One morning the mean man was lata. Nearly ail the boys bad sold ont or had turned their papers lu. A game of bal] was iu progress iu front of the mean man's bouse. As ha camne ont and stood on the steps the boys saw hlm and vent- ed slight impracations on bis .haad. "Aw, go ahead, " hissed the hatter te the piteber, la an nudertone; "ha can't make us stop." So the gaine went ou and the mean man carne dowu bis steps aud starteq te walk away. Sornêthing caused him te stop. That somethiug was a musby rmg baIl, whioh bit hlm falrly ln the back of the nack, The mean rnan stoppad and picked it up. Gazing at fiearnestly,, a look of cou- tampt stole ovar bis face as hae bore the rag hall in triuntpb away. "Sea that; 1 told yen te be careful about batting until he got past," vocifer- ated the pitcher with gesturas of daspair.1 "Now you'va gene and broke up the gains." It was indaed a disconsolate gathering. The batter sat on the cepiug on the adge of the street and peunded at the gutter. "Aint ueobedy got another bail?" he asked. "No', that's the iast oe. We made it yasterday. Hey, Jimnmy, there&s a cus- tomer up on the corner wants a papr. " "Aw, that aini't ne customer. That's the felarS that took our bail. Ha dont want ne paper; he's --ot a paper iu bis baud new." "Weli. he wants semetbing. H's wbistlng at you. Go ou aud sý what ha wants. ' went.

" THE CHIEF END 0F PREACHING.' leu Maelaren Says It là Inspiration; Its Chef Dsaster là Indifféence. Ian Maclanen, lu the first of a sarias ef articles on the relations of the paster aud cengregâitiolà, writes of "The Art of Listaulng te a Sermon," lu The Ladies' Home Journal. "-Aboya ail thlngs," ha sayý, "the Christian preacher makes two damauds. aud bath can be justified only hy the obedience of the bearer. Hae invites bis audience te beceme disciples sud servants of Jesus; ha assures bis feliow- men that te, trust iu Jasus and te foiiow Hlm' is te live. If the bearer arguas and debates about Jesus ha eaun eyer arrive at the facis, and ha has net deait fairiy witb the preacher. Let hlm put the mat- termo eb test and make the adveutura wlih Jases as did the first Christlaus. If ha doas, then ho wiii ha able to judge the preacher; if uot, ha ougbt t e ha llant.

It lias upon thes bearer te verify 'this corn- maundment for bîmself, and te find oui whethar serviug othars, sud not one's self, doas make enae happier aud strenger. The chiaf eud of pneacing is, aftem ail, Inspiration, aud the inuwbo bas beau set ou fire la the vindication of the pul- pit. The chief disaster of preaching is datacbMeut sud indiffarance.
