"Our minister needs a new ooat," said Miss Hirandy Stebbins, rattling her knitting-needles in huge delight at first producing an idea ; "hedoes, most . dreadful bad, an' that's a fact. Hain't any of you noticed how shiny it's got ? " She cast a reproachful glance on all of the circle--who, while they waged war on unbleached cotton and red flannel, also carried on admirably the war with tongues--and then proceeded : " An' I say it's a oryin' shame to see him git up into that pulpit another Sunday with that old coat on. Sometliin' must be done. I'm awful glad X thought of it." " You hain't though^ of it any quicker'n anybody else," spoke up little Mrs. Bis- ' bee, a stout, buxom matron, with flam­ ing cheeks ; and her black eyes flashed volumes. " 'Tain't alwua talkin' folks gits the first idea. I've ben a-thinkin' of that same thing for some time now," she added, with a venomous snap at the • placid figure behind the rattling needles. " An' I shall do my best to git the par­ son one," she added, the best rye-bread premium, which Miss Mirandy had suc­ cessfully* carried off before her very eyes at the County Fair, urging her V on. " I shall begin a subscription right - straight oit, this very minute," cried Miss Mirandy, with great determination, V $ und star ting from her chair, ignoring IMift ker rival completely. " How much will you give, Mrs. Bassett?" she asked, going into the center of the group to attack the " Square's-wife." " An* I shall start one, with my owa name first, before I ask other folks to give," exclaimed little Mrs. Bisbee, tri­ umphantly, with an unpleasant laugh at Mirandy, who was known to be "tight as the bark of a tree." ** I'll give $5," she added, in a loud voice, determined to go without her new winter bonnet sooner than that her rival should carry the day. " Ajo.' I'll join you with another $5," spoke up the " Square's wife," looking l-f V.'; sure. There was DO show vmr for the MINS­ ter's side, tinct?, for various reasons of ,her own, the "Square's wife" had gone over to her rival. So she stalked back to her rockiug-chair grimly, took up her knitting work and watohe<l, as best she j ijiighti the .subscriptions grow enthusias­ tically uuiler other hands than her own. II At last, ;<& the laughter and excite-iduty had been done and full rsparation th» deacon's wife favoring employing the village tailor, and, as he was second cousin to her husband, family reasons might h^ve something to do with her Opinion. Some of the ladies falling in with her. the idea would soon have been carried, but for the warlike, deter­ mined at: itude of the other party, who decidedly favored the ooat being made out of town. "'Twill be lots more stylish," said Urs. Bassett, the "Square's wife," with an undeniable air that took immensely. I shan't approve in the least its being done here. When we crive :inv< hint?, let's; give a good one. How we should feel to see the parson up in the pulpit with anything but the best on ! " The view of the parson from his high perch dispensing spiritual things, with #ny thing less thau a town-made coat adorning his person, waa a sifjfht. th«t even in imagination so filled the circle frith disfavor that the whole roomful i»i "i body went over immediately to the *ide of the " Square's wife." All but Mrs. Deacon Higby. She remained firm, frhite the round visage lengthened omin­ ously, and the little eyes snapped. "Ail' if you think 'Biah Williams would make any but a good coat, vou're much mistaken," she cried, with Indig­ nation. " I must take back my sub­ scription. then, for the deacon never'd hear to my givin' his second cousin on his mother's side sech an insult, ef the parson never saw a coat." And, all her feathers ruffled, she sat straight up, and glared at them all. Now it never would do to offend Deacon Higby in all the world; everybody saw that at a glance ; so, with many side- long looks at each other, each lady be­ gan to cast about how she might grace­ fully wriggle back on to the other side without arousing the wrath of, the "Square's wife." " I s'pose we had orter employ our own church people," said little Mrs. Bisbee, thoughtfully, seeing no one else was willing to take it up. "An', besides," she added, brightly, "p'r'aps, seein' it's for the parson, 'Biah Williams may do it considerable cheaper. 80 we'll sa«&a good deal" "I don't know whether he will or n°t," said the deacon's wife, sturdily. " I ain't in 'Biah's business, an' I ain't a-goin' to say what I don't know nothin* about. But I do say, if the job is taken away from hid, an' he a church member in good an' regular standin', to give it out down in the citv, whv, the deacon '11 be so mad he won't gat over it in mm spell, I can tell you." " • Yes, I do think," said little Mrs. Bisbee, reflectively, and giving a swift, comprehensive look at the "Square's wife" at the same time that she adneiin- istered, under the big table where the work was being cut out, an admonitory pinch on that lady's toes, " that probw- bly 'Biah Williams won't charge sear so much. Wo don't know, you know, but probably ho won't. An' then, besidas, 'twould look rather queer to her us go outside, you know, to git some one Hse to do the work. They'd think thfe 'First Church in Buzzville' had quarreled, maybe," and she finished up with a laugh. "So they wonld, so they would," cried every lady present, delighted to find that some one else had done them the good service of whirling them over safely. " We wouldn't <?o out ef Buzz­ ville for am/thin1; an' 'Biah Williams is jest the one to do it," they added, de­ termined to do nothing by halves. So, oil having been poured urpon the troubled waters of Mrs. Deacon Higby's spirit, she oonsidered her husband's family honor to be thoroughly vindica­ ted, and, resuming her former jolly ex­ pression, she set about preparing to pas* around the fragrant tea and the abun­ dance of good -ebeer that accompanied it; and a committee of three--Mrs. Squire Bassett, Mrs. Bisbee, and, in compliment to her relationship to the aforesaid 'JSiah Wdliams, Mrs. Deacon Higby--WAS unanimously appointed to confer with the tailor and order the coat. Feeling quite mire at this point that of th»t outlook; 00 he was forced to content himself with conjuring up new dark plans on the floor.

When they had finally eaten until not another crumb was possible they each grasped his cap, and flew as fast as pos­ sible on their pleasant errand. "I wouldn't 'a believed it." Mr. 'Biah Williams brought his hand down hard On his knee, then stared at hi^ wife. "I would," she Said, spitefully. " They're a mean, hateful set. It's jest what I've ulwus told you, 'Biah, only you would have your own way. Now X guess you'll go over to the Methodists." "Ill go to the Methodists next Sun­ day, Sarah, if you want ter," said Mr. Williams, decidedly. " I'll jine a church where the folks ain't too big for their clothes." " Ain't too big for your clothes, you mean," said his wife, with a bitter laugh. "To think that stuck-up Miss Bassett, whose father used to peddle soap, dared to turn up her nose at your taflorin'!" " An'that Miss Bisbee, who don't know what a good coat is when she sees one," cried the tailor, in the greatest exasper­ ation, "^settin' heraelt up to tell me how much I was to charge!

That life is a poor one which »s with- out ambition--which has no object to work for, no height to strive to vcach. A person may be good and kindhearted while willing to live in idle ignoriince, and let the world go on growing in wealth and wisdom, without his taking an active part and interest m its onward movements. He may be good, but most certainly he is dull of mind and sluggish of body. No individual destitute of ambition will make his mark in the world.

Don't you think the enemy wonld bftzz wild there, like bees in a hive, and when he was well into the heart of the country don't jou fancy they would swarm out and harass hitp terribly ? Just so, I want you to remember, will it l»e with yon, if you skip over the hard places in your lessons and leave them unlearned; you have left an en­ emy in the rear that will not fail to harass yon and mortify yon tiiBM with­ out number. " There was just a little bit of my Latin I hadn't read", said a vextd student to me, "and it was just there the pro­ fessor had to call upon me at examina­ tion. rhere were just two or three ex­ amples I had passed over, and one of these I was asked to do on the black- bovd." The st a lent who is not thorough is never well at his ease ; he cannot forget the skipped problems, and the con­ sciousness of his deficiencies makes hia nervous and anxioas. Never laugh at- the slow, plodding student; the time will surely come when the laugh will be turned. It takes time to be thorough, but it more thau pays. Resolve when you take up a study that you will go through with it like a successful conqueror, taking every strong point If the inaccurate scholar's difficulties closed with his school life it might not be so great a matter for his future ca­ reer. But he has chained to himself a habit that will be hke an iron ball at his heel all the rest of his life. What­ ever he does will be lacking somewhere. He has learned to shirk what is-hard, and the habit will grow with years. THE forest acreage of North Carolina is probably greater than three or four oi the Northwestern States combined.

On the first .Suudaj in Dec; iiih<-r--a bright, beautiful day--the " First Church in Buzzville ** was crowded to its utmost capacity. The presentation had taken place the evening before, and con­ sisted m the coat being sent over by the hands of the tailor's boy, with a note containing the names of tho fair donors. All eves and ears were therefore agog to sen the parson in his new habiliments and to hear'how he returned thanks. As he went op the broad aisle, every neek was craned to catch a sight of the new coat, and many nudges and smiles were {riven to express the general satis­ faction that was bubbling over in the audience. After the first prayer, with a few pre­ liminary " hems," the parson stood up and began to unburden his mind of the deep debt of gratitude that teemed to weigh hioi down. "Heai! It gives me great pleasure," he mumbled ; then sought relief in his handkerchief, whi'-h. being in the depths of his left-hand pocket, required a "strong pull and a long pull" to get it out. "Hem!" Whiz--rustle--went some small white object out beneath the parson's hand up into the air ; then it settled slowlV- and made its way down, down, toward the floor, when it fluttered a moment, to land in the second pew from the front, directly in Deacon Higby's lap. The two boys leaned past their mother to see the sight, and almost laughed aloud. They didn't laugh again for many a day !

There was one striking case of i the conveyance of diphtheria to a new | locality, by a person who had been in j contact with a diphtheria patient, but | had not herself contracted the disease. This would show that the poison can I attach itself to the person or clothes of a visitor or occasional attendant, and be thns transported for some distance. Dr. Airy concludes that dipntheria is caused by an organism which caajnultiply both within and without the human body, its increase in the latter case being pro­ moted by clay soils, by the season, and by moisture' It is also capable of in­ fecting both water an<J uiilic and seems to flourish best ia the autumn months.
