John Simmons life with noth
ing bat a pair of hands. Hiring him
self out as a common laborer, lie laid
up gradually small stints of money. In
time, lie was enabled to p*y in part
the price of a farm, the r< inainder lie
ing held upon morlgagc —the interest
to be paid yearly, and the principal ir*
installments, till the whole wow liqui
dated.
John took to wife Mary Evans, one
of the prettiest girls iu the parish, and
they two commenced housekeeping to
gether. Mary brought, to the est *.b
-I.saint ut beds and bedding, househ 4d
iiisua, crockery, and china, the fruit t».
her ow n industry, or the wedding g ,ts
of her pare,its. Both imuerstcod t wt
a iile of toil was iiefore them; but b th
were young and hopeful, bred up to
constant industry and economy, und
their toils seemed light to them. John
was renowned in his vicinity as the man
who could do the longest and liar.lost
and *y s work, and Mary soon became cel
ebrated among the housewives for her
-•kill aud prudence in household man
agement. Her bnt*er was known ar<
bringing an extra price; her cheese had
i Venn rknble flavor aud tineness. She
had a wonderful adroitness and skill in
the cutting, shaping and making of
household garments, and her husband
was wont to boast that since his mar
riage his clothes had cost him only one
half what they did before. As to her
own dress, such was her skill iu alter
uig and mending, such her carefulness
in wearing, that her personal expenses
seemed scarcely a perceptible item.
John and Mary became parents of r»
numerous family, fcjix tine boys and
three blooming daughters were sueeess
tuliy added to their household, ihe
care of rearing all these infants was en
tirely borne by Mary without a
;>» f-l
alter The birth of the nrst
child, when a good woman < J fbc neigh-*,
borhood can l4 * 60 look after things
while aiary was getting back her
strength- But after the first fortnight,
yp.rj went back to her work with the
..tided care of the infant. As her chil
dren grew up, she trained them to be
her helpers. The eldest daughter ear
ly became a proficient in houst hold in
dustries, and when only twelve years
of age wars competent to lake her mo
ther’s place in the family at the birth of
a little brother. These boys, when
they were little, were likewise trained
to household labor, and lielpc-1 ; vt
motner m tne nouse **u large
enough to make their services of value
in the fields.
In tune, this family became a perfect
little industrial association, every mem
ber of which was working tow ard one
end—namely : the payment of the
yearly interest on the mortgage, and
the gaining of a turplua wherewith to
pay the principal.
lint so large a family has many ex
penses. There were sic kness and acci
dents to increase labors; there were
bad crops, droughts, mid all the other
disappointments of farming life ; and
sometimes the domestic ark seemed to
roll and plunge heavily, like a water
logged vessel, threatening every mo
ment to go over. John was something
of a hypochondriac, and at these times
would talk bitterty about family expen
ses, and accuse his wife and daughters
of extravagance, lie fell into » way,
that many of the male sex have, of re
garding every thing that is bought for
a woman as of course a superfluity.—
The pretty Sunday bonnets of his
blooming daughters, their nice, lady
like dresses, their little girlish orna
ments, were remarked on with n sev
iige severity. “I work hard for the mo
ney tln*t you spend on finery,” was a
common saying, accepted in silence by
his wife and daughters.
The fact was, that John never, in his
own mind, considered that any work
but his earned the money that paid for
the farm and supplied the provisions
for the family. Every cent that came
into the family colters he regarded as
ins by right of acquisition, and his wife
and daughters as dependents upon his
bounty.
Now comes our inquiry. Who did
earn the money that paid for John’s
farm ? If his wife performed for him
all the service for which he paid a tail
or formerly, did she not earn that mo
ney as really as the tailor? If John
hud been obliged to hire a woman to
perform the labors which Mary per
formed in the house and dairy, how
much a week would he have been ob
liged to pay her? And did not Mary
fairly earn this sum —as fairly as John
earned his day’s work in the lield ?
But suppose John had been ol liged,
in addition, to hire a woman, not only
capable of superintending his dairy,
but of training his children, and in
structing them in morals —a woman, in
short, who should bo nurse, cook,
housekeeper, and moral guardian, in
addition to being tailoress, seamstress,
and daiiy-woman -how much would
he have had to pay for all these things j
united, if he had been obliged to hue
them by money, instead of getting
them for love ? So much as he would
have been obliged to pay, his wife earn
ed every week of her life, and ought to
have Lad freely put into her hands—
not ns a husband s gift, but as her own
lawful, proper earnings. It should
have been her salary, and the choice
left with her to spend it as she pleased.
Then she could, and probably would,
have paid her portion to raise the
mortgage and secuie the family home
stead.
But because this salary, fairly earn
ed, has never been paid her, her hus
band cherishes the idea that he alone
has earned the money paid for the
farm, and that he supported his wife
and daughters.
Query : Has not his wife supported
hru quite as much as he has supported

and the egotistical eould not and would
not accept the snbiime system He in
stituted, tha poor eagerly sought for
opportunities to listen to the words of
Hun “who spake as never man spake.”
And such have been the characteristics
of Christ’s gospel from that day to this.
A lapse of nearly nineteen centuries re
veals the same state of things to-day.
The gospel inculcates as one of its car
dinal, fundamental truths, humility of
heart and life. And where this grace
is wanting the truth falls upon the col
as “sounding brass or a tinkling cym
bal.” How can those who glory in
their intellect, in their self-righteous
ness, in their princely surroundings,
stoop 1o embrace a system which re
quires the sacrifice of a “broken and a
contrite heart”! And, in our opinion,
the main reason why the preaching of
the gospel is attended by such meagre
results m these latter days is because
of the insuperable barriers erected to
keep the common people from the
house of God. The mania for extrav
agance in personal attire has become
great that the poor, seeing their in
abiiity to stand the pressure, and feel
ing nnwilling to become the laugliiug
stocks of tlie giddy rotaries at the
shrine of fashion, have relapsed into an
indifference to sacred things that wiH
be imrd to shake off. The people to
whom the gospel would be most accept
able never hear it. In their humble
homespun and calico attire they are
compelled to avoid contact w T ith those
who adopt the worldly maxim that
dress makes the man. \\ e should like to
sec one place, besides the grave, where
the rich and the poor meet together on
terms of equality. We should l.ke to
see conventionalities, which virtually
exclude the common people, broken
down. If fashion must be inexorable,
let it not presume to invade the sanc
tuary and dethrone Deity. There are
other arenas where it can more prop
eiiy hold high carnival. Let there be
a lowering of the style of dress at

A LtUle Roj’s Prayer
Last Sabbath, says a minister, in the
Youth’s Temperance Banner, forty-two
persons united with my church.—
Among that number was one roan of
whom I wish to speak to the children.
When he came to me to see about uni
ting with the church, I said to him:
“Can t you tell me what it was that
led you to seek the Lord ?”
The poor man burst into tears, and
said:
“My little boy’s prayer.”
I asked him to explain himself. He
then said:
“I was a short time ago, a miserable
drunkard, and made my family very
unhappy, and my home, if it could be
called such, was truly wretched. 1

and told his mother that you had been

never taste any kind »f intoxicating li
qour, and, if they had parents who
drank, they should pray fur them, that
God would teach them to give up the
drink.
“And” added the little boy, *my
father drinks. I don’t wan't to be a
drunkard; can’t I sign the pledge and
pray for father
“Yes, said his mother.

listened, and heard him praying in ear

ears, —
“O Lord, please to bless me for sign

blet% my dear father, and help him to
sign the pledge and drink no more; for
Jesus’ sake. Amen {
“Ah, sir, there was no sleep for me
that night That prayer rang in noy
cars; and before morning I had inward

me, I would never drink again. The

I think the Lord has given me anew
