A Prayer with a P. S. 
A good old deacon in Connecticut was 
very pious and very fond of clams. When 
once upon a time he attended a Rhode Is¬ 
land clam-bake he overtaxed his capacity, 
and was sorely distressed. But his faith in 
praj'er was unabated. Leaving the party 
and going down on his knees behind a tree 
he was heard to supplicate: “Forgive 
me, O Lord, this great sin of gluttony. 
Restore my health and I will never eat 
any more clams.” Then, after a judi¬ 
cious pause; “Very few, if any. Amen.” 
The Jewell Strawberry produced this 
year from 1-23 acre 678 quarts of berries, 
besides all picked and sampled by visitors. 
Had it not been for very dry weather our 
yield would have exceeded 500 bushels per 
acre.” 
Whenever the minister preaches a ser¬ 
mon that pleases the whole congregation, 
in nine cases out of ten he has preached a 
sermon that the Lord won’t indorse. 
A reputation for happiness wants as 
much looking after as a reputation for hon¬ 
esty. 
The man who has not an enemy is really 
poor.
