what he. vras taiicing about
Ar.oiMtotes ot ('hiii-ll-..
I t:i ust tell you (.ne anecdote of our
friend Charlie which is perhaps the
uii'-f c-iiiv.ius of any I have to record,
"there were two young boys brothers,
in the lioii-e, and tlv ir miiher.
Charlie's mistress was in the habit of
eaKiu-t t lictn by name, lieginaid and
Albert, using ceitiiu familiar Con
tractions wucii she did si. It wa- ih
w.-inder tliat. Chat lie caught these up;
but what will In' said of such an ap
plication of them as the following?
The bird, as wilh must parrots, was
not albivvol water in his cage, so
wh -ii thirsty he would call, in what,
may he lernied h's mu voice:
'Keggio! lb gele Keggio or Hcr
t ic! Charlie wants vunn water!"
Charlie has a great fondness for th-.-1
astc of which pie crust is made, and
this being known he was often treat
ed to a pk-c -. It - naturally looked
lor this, ati'.l when forgotten h ; woold
invite hiuiM'if to have some in the
form ( f wordj whi'-li ha l iloubtlo-s
ol'u n l.i.-n uit-.l by his mistress, li.t
would .-ay:
Charlie, d you like paste? Will
you have a bit.-' This would be said
in the voice of his mistress or her
daughter. He would then add, in
quite a changed tttne, 'Oh rather!"

Every thinking mind is liable at
titues to doubt botn a; to truth and
duty. Hut a thoughtful mind wi!!
nut formulat:; its doubts or regard
th''in ;ii com i.'tions. If doub is to
some, a natural phase of thought, it is
a'lso temp irary, unless it is unwisely
wrought into conduct. One who sin
cerely endeavors to live a ight cannot
long remain astray. Act on the truth
which is admitted; do the duty which
is plain ii id dou'-'t as to the next
step in either will soon pass away.
Tho cxi-erience i f life to tho hon -t
la art uearly always works to tip;
