Sarah called herself a Christian, and was one of the most active members of the Calvary church; every Thursday evening her voice was heard in prayer-meeting, and she held prominent positions on va rious committees appointed by the el ders. She was always ready to join in plans tu pay the church debt; she was the chief worker in every fair and soci able; her contributions to the poor box and to the foreign missions were always large, and the miuister depended great- •ry scheme as required, i drop from ly upon her help which practical energy Bnt her religion seemed her heart like a cloak from her shonl ders when she entered her own home. She did not appear to think it necces- aary to exercise it there at all. The gentle reproofs of her good-natured hus band and the rebellion of her pretty daughter only irritated her without ery angry now, and began to clear the table with unusual energy. But as John took his hat and went out on some errand at the village postoffice and she was left alone, she grew cal mer, and by the time the dishes were all washed and put away her irritation was almost forgotten. “I guess I’ll run over and see Mrs. Marsh a minute,” she said to herself, as she took off her big gingham apron and hung it up. “Like as not that Tom fold her all I said lie’s one to enjoy making a fuss, and I don’t want any hard feeling. So I’ll ju6t step over and tell her myself why 1 can’t sit np' with her mother.” Mrs. Marsh and Mrs. Baker were very near neighbors, and had always been very intimate. They were accus tomed to ruuniug into the houses cf each other at any hour without the ceremony of a ring or a knock, aud so Mrs. Baker went around to the back of the house when she reached Mrs. Marsh and finding the kitchen door open, step ped in at once.

Theoow was the old lady’s only support. I was thinking, Sarah, if we couldn’t lomcthing for her? Yon being or elief committee, you know, could ly—” “John.

She’d know you’d forgiven the past, aud that your religion meant something.” When ehe comes to me and asks my pardon for what she did ten years ago, I’ll think about helping her,”* said Mre. Baker, coldly, ill-pleased at her hnsband’e criticism. “Ido v my duty [ see it, and I flatter myself I’m as good as the general ran o’ folks. The entrance of Madge prevented farther conversation on this subject, and rith a heavy sigh John Baker took hfs sat at the sapper table. He noticed that hie daughter's eyes were very red but did not question her about them, for he suspected the cause of their con dition. But he was more than usually kind in his manner to her, and on rising from the table slipped a silver dollar in her hand, whispering: “Boy yourself some little trinket, darling.” The unexpected gift, conpled with the tender words, proved too ranch for Madge in the over-strained condition of her nerves. Throwing her arms about her father’s neck, ehe laid her bead hia breast and bnret into a tempest of aobs and tears. And the eyes of the father were dim at he tried her. “This is perfectly ridiculous,” said Mrs. Bsker, exasperated at the scene, “One would think the girl was ae 1 en years old instead of seventeen. Leav tho room, Madge, and don’t come back again nntil yon can behave yourself. “You're too hard on thechild, Sarah said John Bsker, as Msdge went “And do yon pretend to say that I make it nnhappy?' demanded Sirs.

She could not say inongh in Mre. Baker’s praise. The first step is always tho hardest. Mrs. Baker found it not at all difficult keep on in tho new path into which she had stepped. There were very naturally times when she forgot her new resolutions; but the thought of Miss Tilly’s remark about her religion as always sufficient to begin again. “How good of you, Mrs. Baker, to take up the cause oh'that poor Mre.

It exhorta temperance, but there are several .ys to be tem[>erate and soma of the roost intemperato men I have ever teen tho advocates of prohibition. They may not become intoxicated with liquor hut they become angry and are intem perate in speech ; or it may he that they intemperate means to secure perate measure of prohibition, their over-zeal being the result of epir- ltual drunkenness- If our liberties are guaranteed in this grand republic and noble commonwealth, why should any attempt to deny us the boon ? Thu is only a beginuing to end none knows where, perhaps in despotism.

Was it not true that it was kept more for show than for wear** Bottled up, as Tilly hail said, and the cork taken out only on Sunday in prayer-meeting. Had her religion made her more lenient to the faults of hei daughter? Had it caused her to b« more gentle and kind to her husband?
