Wh at ulher class id' people than latin
cm can claim such a blessed season as a
time for lay-by? 11 fore oue hardly real vs
it the crops are nude and a season of rest
and of peace comes lo the farmer. One
more 111 null's work will virtually wind
up the labor of making the cn.ps of
lDII. Al't.r a month now everything
wiil be easy nn the farm, fruit will be in
season, pleasures will be iiniue'irated and
the plow boys and country lasses will be
romping in prj I'ul glee while the old
folk will fold their hands in rest upon
the h.ippy faith that (J...J will do ll.e
balance.
How ble.-sed nr.. such c oidiliuns '
W here else can it be found save in the
rar.il ursiii: s ? The country family that
lias .1 .ne its duty lor the last four mouthx

Along with the oilier pleusiiies will
conic the season id big meetings ai d
caiitp-tn.'ctines These ate uloriniis lor
old and young. O'.J people are like old
o!,.c',s - liny u.-ed winding up, and the
big meeting season is the key that loucbts
the old nun's heart and sets linn to tick
ing with a Mtiuneer lick and happier put
pos', I pity the 111 in that has n. v.t
kuo jro the pleasures of a big meeting iu
the country. There you will find out all
that has happened in die past year. Old
friendships urn renewed. Kvcry death
will be tailed about. If any urn sick
lliey will bo missed. All the matriagis
will he discussed. .New babies will le
there dressed to bo admired and iroud
ywog in oh ira will show theiu to their
old unites with a holy pride that only
cnines 1 liriiugh a mother's love. There
is no matching this. Not on this earth
is found such peace us belongs to the
young country couples who couic for the
first lime wilb llu ir babies to a good uld
nioelin" house in the country. Xo mat
ter how long our fathers and nniibeis
may live, nor how nor where, there wi 1
never be a happier lime lhan llimugb
th. se years when ike children were small
and went and cam.: as the parents did.
1'lie sociability of these big meetings
is beyond measurement. In groups they
nit around undtr the tiees swaiinine
itnsMp till the preacher artives. The
urtiviil of the preacher tnuiks an event id
die i.c 'asiou. After h-i h is tied his
iur.se to a .swiugiug limb ho passes
through the groups shaking hauds, wilb
a word I'm this "sister" and a chut with
that "brother, " making impressions and
bringing pleasures 1 hat will remain h ug
alter dicy have pissed from die fields of
action and odor gcncralioiis have taken
the place of the old. The congregation
now gaihcis inside die church, ulier die
preacher's arrival. A good old hymn is
marled
'All huil die pow.r of Jesus nuuie,
Let aiieels prostrate fall,
Bring I rib tl.e r,.y.il JiaJem
Aud cr. wn hllu Lord ol all."
Whoever has sil in 011,1 of ihcse olo
churches and watched die congregation as
they came iu and took their seals has 11
uieuioiy 10 cherish us long us iite shall
last. Young hoys nud girls, young

old things. And the babies a pr,ttv
babe iu its in other's anus at au old

ibis side ol heaven. If you wiil go lo
where 1 hey carry these babies to church
and walch theiu one after die other as
they nestle thcit liulc faces down in (he
folds of their mother's dress aud fall lo
sleep, you will not think it coarse, not
hit, but yu will find in it a rebuke to
fashion and a promise for die future that
can ucver be found iu the children left
at home with servants to nibble at
Initio and cry fur (licit mother's return.
Children raised ill the arms of a lumber

Miss Thornby was a veritable butler
Ily iso every one said wiih a fortune al
the command ol her owu capricious fancy.
Judson had uevei seen her, but he hud
heard of her, lor the humble collage dial
treasured all he bad in tbe world be
longed In In r. The usual kind y light
had long since died out of Judson's eyes,
and the only spoil.- d.at ever came
from iheiu glanced from a silent leir.
The winter was not yel over, but die
poor coin missioiiers funds were exhausted.
There was no work to be had; no otic lo
look lo for help; and three liny babes
aud an invalid wife to care for.
Oue of die children had just opened
ihe stove d our und had put something in.
Judson looked away from it to l.is wife
Their eyes met in silent converse. It
was the last stick of Wood and they were
both thinking of it.
"Never mind, John," said his wife, iu
a faint, broken voice. "Perhaps somc
ihiug will come (0 us before (he day is
over."
A few gruff, inarticulate words were
ull he could offer. Judson was strong
aud able-bodied, but misfortune hud so
bound him down that he was as helpless
us the little lu. Idler that lugged in vaiu
al his boot strap.
Suddenly he got up from his chair and
left die house leaving no word as to
where he was going, lie was frenzied
with grief, and, laboring uudcr excessive
energy of strained emotion, walked brisk
ly und fast, finally reached bis destina
tion the Thoriibv home a magnificent
stone structure al the sides of which the
splendid lawn sired hed away (or hun
dreds of feet.
Judson's frci.zy hardened into anger as
he rculiz d the unjust fate that had made
her an heiress, ami hiui, the guardian ol
so many lender, innocent dependents, a
pauper !
"It is useless," ho said to himself,
despairingly, "to usk f..r help here, hut it
is my lust chance" lie even thought
the echo of bis footsteps mocked hi 111 as
ho luouulcd to ihe door, aud as he pressed
the bell ho wished that il might ho the
km I! that would summon her and all like
her lo another world.
It was 9 o'clock. .Miss Thoruly hud
just finished dressing for the ball when
die maid rapped at her door and said :
"There's a workingiiKin down iu tin
hall tbat insists 011 seeing you, and. say:
(but he won't go away until be docs."
"What in the world can he want of
un' 'said she, und then added : "Well,
if ho won't go uw.iy take liim into tl
library and I'll be there in a moment."
Soon she came fluttering in iu a cloud
of tulle aud ablaze with diamonds. Jud
son had never seen such a vision and he
hated her iiu.ro lhan ever, lie wauled
to strangle her and wrench off her jewels
to sell for bread lo feed his slarvin
family. He stood near the door with
his cup iu his hand aud was looking hall
doggedly out from his half-bowed head
when Miss Thoruby crossed to where he
stood and said with die airiest good ua
lure :
"Hid you wish to sec mu?"
Her tone confused him. Somehow he
had expected to be ill-treated, if not 01
dercd out. Collecting himself, he said
tremblingly: "Yes, miss, I came to ask
if you would let us slay a liulc longer iu
your house. I am out of work and can
uol pay a cent, and your ugent is goin
to dun us out into the slicct to-niorrow."
"My agent is going to put you out
your house ?" said she, excitedly.
"Out of your house," ho corrected,
ol
"Why, how perfectly horrible," sh
exclaimed, iu uuinzciucut.
Jod-uti caught at a ray of hope in hel
sympathetic manner, and urged on by
he went on rapidly :
"Ifyou'd only let 111c stay in it a litll
longer in n lut t can get work soon, auc
(hen, miss, t 11 pay you as last as I can.
Il's hiird enough lu starve "
"lo starve! " she echoed, diopping her
hands and siaring at (he man, as though
straining her mind to conceive the idea.
"Yes, miss," suid Judson, iu a low,
resolute voice "My wife and children
and me wit arc starving."
Miss Thoinby looked al him wiih un
accustomed hut sincere distress. Sud
denly she cross, d die room to die wiiiing
desk.
"Here," said she, bunding him a leal
from a check hook, "I hope this will help
vou out. I inn sorry that il happened. 1
didn't know that I had an agent who
would be go cruel. I am Very sorry for
you.
Judson was overwhelmed wiih grateful
surprise. He did not know how the check
road, but ho knew by Miss Thornby's
generous manner that it was enough to
help him out of trouble.
Miss Thoruby was scaroely oonscious
of having conferred a favor, (he effort
had bceu io light, until she saw the man's
trembling blind as he look the paper
from her, and listened to his tearful voice
a he thanked her again and again.
Judson went hurriedly down the street
in the effort lo reach ihe first electric
light. Then he slopped to read the
number on die cheek. He read il once,
and 1 hen looked closely and carefully at
again. His heart gave a sudden
bound. There was no mistake -it read
one hundred dollars."
Judson's angry thoughts of a few mo
ments before flushed over him and struck
lim lo lint heart. His eyes filled wiih
lours, "'tud bliss her, suid ho liruv-
; "she saved 1110 from somclhing

A PIOUS EDUCATION.!

Ail Knglish peer called upon the fa
mous Jusiah Wcdgcwooil. who was an
ui iiest, religious tiiun, and desired lo see
his great pottery factories. With one of
employee", a lad nf about fifteen years
I age, Mr. Wedgewood accomnanied
0 nobleman through die works.
The visitor was a man of somewhat
reckless lilc, and rather vaiu of his
religious unbelief. Possessing great
nutural wil, he was quite t-ntertaioiug in
conversation, and after a while forgot
himself in expressions of "polite" pro
fanity aud in occasional jests with sacred
names and subjects. This seriously dis
turbed Mr. Wedgewood.
The hoy at first was shocked by the
nobleman's irreverence, but he soon be
came fascinated by his flow of skeptical
drollery, and laughed heartily at the
witty points) iLudc.
When the round of the factories had
en made, die buy was dismissed, and
Mr. Wedgewood selected a beautiful vase
I unique pallcrn, and recalled the long
tid careful process of iis making, as they
;ad secu it at the vuts and ovens.
The visitor was charmed with its cx-
pusiic shape, its rare coloring, its pic-
lured designs, and reached out his hand
t take it.
Mr. Wedgewood let it fall on the floor
and broke it to atoms. The nobleman
uttered an angry oath.
"I wanted dial for my collection," he
id. "No ait can restore what you
have mined by your carelessness."
My Lord," replied Mr. Wedgwood,
"there are oilier ruined things, more
precious than this, which can never ba
restored. You can never give back to
the soul of that boy who has just left us
the reverent fccliug and simple faith
which you have destroyed by making
light of the religion which has been his
most sacred memory and inherilanno
or years his parents have endeavored
to teach him reverence for sacred things,
and so to luHuenco his mind that his life
and conduct should be governed by rc-
gious principles. You have undone
their labor in less than have an hour."
The nobleman, (hough greatly aston
ished at such plainness of sm-ech from
"mechanic," respected a brave and hon
est man, and did not 00 noun
wilhout expressing his regrets, and ad
mitting Ihe justice of the reproof.
A common acknowledgment of God,
and the prevalence of a reverent spirit
are society's safeguard and the State'a
defence.
None hut those who forget how much
the country owes lo religious feeling will
ever trifle with it in the young, or sneer
at a "pious education." A single scof
fing speech may do mischief for a life
time. Y'outh's Companion.
