Sally eyed it a little doubtfully when the clerk, at Jake’s request, had taken it to show them. Untutored as her taste Was turned as naturally to quiet plumage asawood-pigeon. Thered slashes rather alarmed her. However, she said nothing against her husband’s decision to purchase the She turned pale at the price; it was nearly the whole ef her precious store. But she took up her stocking-purse determinedly when Jake began examining his pocket book.

**I pays for this,’’ said she to the clerk, lifting up her little face to him with scared resolve.

“Why, no you don’t, little un!’’ cried Jake, catching hold of her arm. “I’m agoin’ to pay for it, o’ course. It's a pity ef I can’t buy my own wife a dress.”’

Sally flushed all over her lean throat,

‘‘Other folks does that way. When they gits merried they buys their own close ef they kin.”’

“But it took pretty nearly all you'd got didn’t it?’’

‘*That ain’t no matter.”’

The peddler stared at her half in con- sternation half in admiration.

The pair remained in Derby about a week: then they started forth on their travels, the blue silk, which a Derby dress-maker had made up after the prevailing mode, and the white bonnet. stowed away in a little new trunk in the body of the cart.

The peddler, having only himself fo consult as to his motions struck a new route now. Sally wished to keep away from her late mistress’s vicinity. She had always a nervous dread of mecting her in some unlikely fashion.

She wrote a curious little ill-spelled note to her, at the first town where they stopped after leaving Derby. Whether or not Mrs. King was consoled and moliified by it she never knew.

“Their way still lay through a thinly settled country. tin-peddler found readier customers in those farmers’ wives svere far from stores. It was the late spring. Often they rode for a mile or two through the lovely fresh woods, without coming to 4 single house.

WESLEY’S BAREFOOT SERMON,

The Founder of Methodism Rebuked Van!- ty While Teaching Physiology.

A trifle more than 150 years since John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, organ- ized a Sand iy SX hool in the town of Sa- vannah, ‘Lhe rules of that Sunday school were different from those that prevail now- adays. The children were compelled to at- tend excepting they were ill. A lack of fine clothing was no excuse, and so it hap- pened that many of the boys and girls pre-

scnted themselves in their classes without phoce or stockings.

Lhe colonists were, many of them, too poor to buy shoes, or even much clothing of any kind. But the climate in Georgia is mild and it is no hardship to goscantily clad.

Hiuman nature, however, as it showed

T

itself in John Wesley’s Sunday school was the same as itis now. ‘The children who rd shoes fell into the habit of say- ing disagreeable things to the barefooted boys and girls, When Mr. Wesley heard of

1) the parents of the children whose feet were bare and whose pride was sensi tive, he pondered for awhile as to what

. sist aft COU aii

course it would be wisest to pursue. First he thought he ought to insist on all the ehil

iren coming to the Sunday school bare-

footed ‘i’ ben he considered lecturing the offend- ers soundly on the sin of vanity. He did neither, but the next Sunday what was the ry of teachers and pupils to see Wesley walk softly in with bare, ‘ , white feet! in fancy that those who wore shoes ar: ‘fect far back under the benches, a ooted ones, conscious of being in good rainy, set yery straight and ] wu aud happy. i tbe course of the session Mr. Wesley tork « on to speak of the fearfully and WET uly made human body, and, plac-

.° root on a convenient chair, he gave >t. of Lhe bones, tendons and joings, with rauch other anatomical knowledge. He told the school thatno human being could possibly make a piece of machinery as marvelous as the human foot.

He called attention to the clumsiness and ugliness of shoes and stockings, as compared with the natural foot, with its white and pink coloring, the blue veins showing through, and each toe protected by a beautiful, transparent shell.

Even the tan on the feet of children or grown people who ran barefooted all the time spoke of the goodness and kindness of the Creator. This tan was made by the great sun, and the soft, odorous winds.

The school thought this little lecture very interesting, and it had a much better effect than a scolding for the folly of van- ity. It may be supposed, too, that later in life these boys and girls, when finding themselves at a disadvantage, tried to find out if there were not some compensation, even in what seemed to be real misfor- tunes. —Chicago Inter Ocean
