SPARKLE'S SKELETON'. Dr. Philaletlics Sparkle w as a great man in a small way. He was the vi < ur of an important suburtstneliureh, wherein u higlily respectable and not wholly unintelligent congregation was wont to assemble for worship. In that eougregution the pastor had no enemies, w hile he could boast of a large numlierof thorough-going and ardent ndmirers. The man was ad mittedly well til ted lor hi* post. He was kind-hearted, lilierul-rninded, quick-witted, a fluent speaker, and, in the opinion of many, a thoughtful ns well as eloquent preacher. Hut. in truth, •■thoughtful ’was just what Dr. Sparkle was not. His great dif ficulty, and one tlmt increased week ly, was about ideus. When he knew what to say, he could say it well. No man could produce a more “bril liant rormsention" or effective dure lip irum ii puiii'.viitiiouiii in materiiii; lull then, tlie fuel hint to come from somewhere, nml tlmi was the doctors difficulty. Ilcliml ii rcpiitntioii to maintain, ami lie mum fully, almost painfully, conscious oil lie Ind. ruder these circumstances, and fie ing sorely harassed by the recurrent, drying up ol the well-spring of his ideas, Dr. Sparkle Imd his attention wire*ted oim* morning by un art fully worded circular which was found among his letter*.

Ifr. Sparkle smiled a* he read tin* bombastic document, and was about to throw it into the waste basket when runnel hitig st ayed Ids hand. “ 1 wonder whether many clergy men a vail themselves of t ins sort oi tiling, my dear?" lie said, t ossing the circular to Ids faithful wife, who gen erally sal with him for an hour of a morning. “To deliberately get up and read a not her mini’*sermon seems to me absolutely willful.” “Ifni nil uieii are not gifted like you, I/'t lie, dear; and I sup|ioseth"re are some who tlmi it very difficult to preach a good sermon,'’ suggested Mrs. Sparkle. “it is the dishonesty ot (lie tiling that, aho'-ks me,’’explained the doc tor, “ff n man can’t write a sermon, or nSisii't time, let. him honestly say so. i/'t Iiim fal;e a printed bool; and lead from it; but logo into the pulpit, with a lilli igmph and deliver it as ins own, is a tiling I can't con ceive any Christian man daring lo do.” #*##<* Some time after tIiim, Ilia vicar found it necessary to appoint a nev. curate, the old one having married a rich wife and forth wit h kicked over the traces. Among several appli cants, the doctor’s favorite was the Kev. .lonnihaii Crihlier, Hut as it was necessary, inappearaneeatl ast. to consult tlie wishes of the congre gation I who were expected to find the funds), it was arranged that, be fore arriving at the decision, the young man should be invited to preach on a certain Sunday evening. When the day arrived on which Mr. Cribbcr was “to try Ids voice." Dr. Snorkle was suffering from a Imd cold. In the morning, lieing single linnih d, lie had no choice but to get through the service as well as lie could; and, lieing a man who, when put lo it, uiim always eipial to tlie x ii 'iMikii ill 11«• -11 ■< 111 i t f i • i I liiiiiw.rll' i al'V I creditably, lli> ilnlivetvd a ntrikitig aiaJ pathetic add renx from thewordn. “the loolinhm-nn of preaching," and the ph.YMiml diwibility under which won evidently laboring, only Served to highteli the ellect ol hi* elu •dotiH to the “earthen vennele" to which celeeHal trcnnuren were no oft en eutrunted.

Only last week Dr. Briggs said that if ever a man laid earned a holiday you had.” On Monday morning the vicar was solar recovered that he was able to receive Mr. (irundy in his study. The worthy churchwarden was evi dently ill at ease. IDs inquiries ns to tin* pastor's health were profuwed and long-drawn out; hi*observations on the weather diffusive and incon sistent. At lengt h Dr. Sparkle found it necessary to bring him to the point. “Well. Mr. (irundy I am waiting to hear how everything went off last night.” “Oil, first rate, sir, first-rate. Large congregation, beautiful an them, offertory above the average,” “And Mr. t'rujber?” “A most excellent young man, ns I believe, sir. Fine voice, made a good impression—that, is on those who hadn't heard you in the morning." The vicar smiled, and looked well pleased at what he deemed to he a neat compliment, intended for him self. “Well, my friend, you must remem ber lie is but a young man and with out much experience. We ought not, lobe too critical. We all had to make u beginning once.” “It isn't that, sir. It wit* the coinci dence i lint, st ruck t he people." “The wlmt?” exclaimed Dr. Sparkle, n vague sense ol uneasiness creeping over Inin. oTl,,. ../Olx.i.li.imo tu'tf III. irilf'O Mltf ‘The foolishness of preaching' over again.

"I fear it would have embar rassed I he poor young fellow had he known about it; but, after all, the thing might, ensily happen. The words nre in the evening lesson, though I took them for my text in the morning. You see, the arrange incut for Mr. I ribber to preach was somewhat hurriedly made.” “Ihit it isn’t only the text—it is the sermon itself the people* are talk ing about, sir. I didn't pay much attention myself but Mrs. finitely will have it that, though tie* words Were different, the nuhstnnce, the backbone, the skeleton was junt the sane*.” “The skeleton!” exclaimed the vicar, inn horror stricken voice. • Well that's the word my wife lined.” said the church warden, apologetically. “I didn’t quite fol low her myself; for. though I veheard of p**ople having skeletons in n cup board, I never knew of one in a pul pit.’’ Mr. (irundy laughed at bis own smart ness, hut a dark clpud set t led upon t he broad brow of Dr. Sparkle. Poor l)r. Sparkle was in a terrible fix. There was (irundy waiting to he gulled, and it was incumbent on him to say something, lie gave a little sigh, and spoke in Ids softest accents; "Well, you see, Mr. (irundy, not having heard (las wonderful sermon, I cannot discuss the matter in detail; nor would I wish to think anything to the dispnrngcmcntofu yotingman who lias been very highly recom mended to me. Several partial solu tions occur tome, none of them re flecting unduly on Mr. Cribber. Pos sibly, we may have looked into the same commentary—” Mr. (irundy gave a knowing nod. “Possibly Mr. Cribber may have read some art icle of mine in one or other of the religious periodicals treat iag of this subject.. I say possi bly. though I do not at Ibis moment recall having writtcnaiiythingabout it.” Mr. (irundy gave another yet.more know ing nod.

A few words uncut one of the most common forms of skin discuses among us. Ha Id ness is so widely spread and ho universal among us, that if is quite fashionable. Nevertheless, I slmll give a couple of recipes for t hat form t hat is accompanied by fulling of dandruff, what is technic ally know us dry seborrhea of the scalp, la nine-tenths of these cases; a cure is possible, t hat is, hair may be restored if sufficient patience is al lotted with other treatment. Owing to barbers'failure to give back to a man his hair, a general impression exists tlmt it. is no use to try; once bald, always bald. This is seurcely ever t rue of seborr hea, not in fifty pet.. of eases from other causer, and whosoever will try these recipes will be convinced of their efficacy. For a week, at the outset of treat ment, the scalp is to be thoroughly washed with a reliable tar soup, such as any apothecary sells, drying the hair thoroughly, but not rinsing out the tar. II Imir has vanished let the lather dry upon bare spots. Then begin with a wash com posed of resor cin |mre. oik* drain; castor oil. one half ounce; buy rum. 7% ounces. Mix. This is to be applied morning and night, and well rubbed in. After two weeks of lotion, have the following pomade prepared, and rub into the scalp and hair a portion the size of a hazel nut every morning: Salicylic acid, ten grains; nmmoimted mercu ry, five grains; cold cream, one ounce. Mix. After one week's careful attention to this treatment, the bald spotswill lie covered with u flue, thick, silky growth, that is forerunner to a crop worth having.

On ii wild mountain road between the Yadkin river and Salisbury, N. <\, I came upon an humble cabin in which resided the Widow Watkins and her three children, the oldest ls> ing a hoy of fifteen a ad the youngest a girl of o. I had heard of the widow while ten miles awny. Her husband was a justice of the peace and some thing of a religions exhorter, and what he didn't know about the his. tory of America wasn't worth look ing up. His mule ran away with him one day, and fell into a ravine imd both were killed The widow,as I on# of the mi t’vcs expressed it, was “the well lixedesl woman in four counties," having a small farm all clear and considerable personal prop erty. Half a mile from Hie house I met .lereminli, the boy spoken of. lie was bareheaded, barefooted, coni less vestless, and so freckled that it was hard to say what his natural com plexion was. lie rose up off a rock as 1 approached, made mi awkward bow and said: “I lihbins, si ranger.” Tribbin* lo you, my boy. And who may yam be?” “Jerry Watkins." “Hon of l he widow,eh? “Yuan, lie yaai'n he 'an?" “Yes," “From ilieao'th.” “Yes.” “I'ome to see mil?” “Yes; I'll hIop for dinner." “Hind on'I.
