Cumbered About Much Serving*. Christ never asks of us such busy tabor As leaveB no time for resting at His feet; The waiting attitude of expectation He ofttimes counts a service most complete He sometimes wants our ear?our rapt attention? That He some sweetest secret may impart; Tls always in the time of deepest silence That heart finds deepest fellowship with heart. We sometimes wonder why our Lord doth place us Within a sphere so narrow, so obscure. That nothing we call work can find an entrance: Thwo'i nniv rr?nm to suffer?to endure ! Well, God loves patience! Souls that dwell in stillness. Doing the little things, or resting quiet. May lust ub perfectly flulflll their mission, Be Just as useful in the Father's sight. A* they who grapple with some giant evil, Clearing a path that every eye may see! Our 8aTiour cares for cheerful acquiescence, Rather than for a busy ministry. And yet He does love service, where 'tis given By grateful love that clothes itself in deed; But work that's done beneath the scourge of duty, B? sure to such He gives but little heed. Then seek to please Him, whatsoe'er He bids thee, Whether to do, to suffer, to lie still! 'Twill matter little by what path He led us, If in it all we sought to do His will! Sam Jones on Dudes. Listen: When that girl began the giddy whirl of the dance in the ballroom, that was the time to get scared. When you found your boy spending more money than you ought, that was the time to get shocked. Sow cards and reap gamblers. I know I'm called a transcendentalist and called a Puritan, but God save my family from cards and profanity, and whiskey and dances, and let the world call me what it will. Sow parlor-dances and reap ballrooms. Sow ball rooms aud reap round dances. Sow round dances and reap dudes and dudines. Sow dudes and dudines and reap half a thimblefull of calves'-foot jelly. (Applause and laughter renewed again and again.) I wish you wouldn't laugb any more to-night, for I never felt so solemn in my life. For God's sake hear me with a solemnity and earnestness worthy of the cause. But you say I say so many funny things. If ----- you only knew how many I have to keep back you wouldn't blame me for the few which creep out. Hear me, boys, girls, young ladies of Kansas City! I used to dance. I've danced many a night with the girls of my town. Hear me. If I was a fair, average dancing man, and I think I was, then no pure girl can go out on the floor and dance another set. (A voice, "Hurrah !") Young woman, if you could but follow the young man, after be has seen you home, to some barroom or club and hear the discussion of your form aud person and your virtue itself, you'd never lose your respect and go on a ball room floor. [Sensation.] The dudes get mad at m? in some places and talk about wanting to slap my jaws. rLaughter.1 But ^to^s&jrrfa-iheir credit, they know better ^ .-Chan to slap. I'm not afraid to drop down into a hundred acres of dudes and not a thing to fight with and all of them armed with six shooters. [Laughter. The tendency of the Nineteenth century is to dudeisra. You dress a young buck out, part his hair in the middle, put on an eye glass, give him pants which look as though his legs nad been melted and poured into 'em, f?ut on tooth pick shoes, and every girl n the town admires him. [Prolonged merriment.) God help you, girls; I'd rather see my daughter dead to-night k than sitting in a parlor talking to a Hilda T Annfana* 1 The cood "Rishon O r of New .York says the confessional shows that nineteen out of twenty girls meet their downfall in the ballroom. In all my observation I never knew a poor, ruined woman who did not go to ruin through the ball-room and the theater. A woman who has lost her character has lost all, but the boy is lionized by society. If there's one deeper, blacker hell than other its for the man who crushes purity and virtue under his unhallowed feet. [Applause.] The only thing in the world which deserves a double barreled shotgun and load of buckshot is such a man. A round dance is an ante room to damnation. I never want to see the arm of a lecherous man around the waist of my wife or daughter. I ape no man. I'll be myself, be true to myself, and true to truth. All I want to do is to stand on the barrel, knock the bung out, and let nature cut her ca pers. [Applause and laughter. J may be an idiot and a fool, but if I am not an idiot and a fool you'd better ?^ ahink of these things. Unjust Condemnation. We mothers need to use the greatest caution, lest we deal unjustly with the tender hearts of our little charges. One day I felt very certain that my little girl had done something of which ehe knew I would not approve. It wae difficult to believe her capable of such disobedience, but what I thought I saw, I must believe, so I called her her to me, not, however, without having first asked guidance of my Heavenly Father, for I was utterly at a loss to know how to proceed. As she came to my side I looked into tha faro raispH tn mine arid felt I must be mistaken, but before I had had time to speak, she saw my troubled face, and from the circumstance divining what was in my mind, denied ? having done the act. My heart sank. Surely she must be guilty, or she would not have denied before having been accused. And my baby, the darling of the household, was not only guilty of this wrong act but had added falsehood to her sin! The sweet blue eyes looking fearlessly into mine, and while the pretty lips protested her innocence, no power on earth could have made me believe my child guilty of auch depravity. But here was the 5roof?or at l?ast I thought it was, and felt as if it was almost unbearable. If she had been in the habit of deceiving me I should not have been so much astonished. I felt as if I must settle the matter without further delay, and id order 10 uo so, it was necessary ior me to wade through the wet grass dour a into the garden. Knowing how careful I had need to be of my health, the little one said, waraingly, "You will get very wet.'' "It does not matter." I answered, "I k must go," for I felt 1 could not deleurate the duty to another. Unhesitaffl^^tingly she followed me the foot of the HB^Krden, and there immediately proved HEjgnflflfeinnocence. How small I felt! HjgHH^^n significant! I stooped and HKD|K|Any darling's lips asked her forHQMB|Hg^^Loving little heart, she HBHE|Hw^Kain and again, not one H^QBHrcH^k^nt on her pure face. HHflB|Hra^?lB^^ioubted her! HNGSKHHEBSfflK^^htten that religfflffiK^B^MffiHHnergonal matanoth The Sin of Overwork. The woman who spends her life in unnecessary labor is by this very labor unfitted for the higher duties of home. She should be the haven of rest to which both children and husband turn for peace and refreshment. She should be the careful, intelligent adviser and guide of the one, and the tender confidant of the other. How is it possible for a woman exhausted in body, and, as a natural consequence, in mind also, to perform either of these offices? It is not possible. The constant strain is too great. Nature gives way beneath it. She loses health and spirit and hopefulness, and, more than all, her youth?the last thing that a woman ollnw tn alin frnm hpr* for. no matter how old she is in years, she should be young in heart and feeling, for the youth of age is sometimes more attractive than youth itself. To the overworked woman this green old age is out of the question. Her disposition is often ruined, her temper soured, her very nature changed by the burden which, too heavy to carry, is only dragged along. Even her affections are blunted, and she becomes merely a machine?a woman without the time to be womanly, a mother without the time to train and guide her children, a wife without the time to sympathize with and cheer her husband, a woman so overworked during the day that "when night comes" her sole thought and most intense longing are for rest and sleep. Better by far let everything go unfinished, and live as best she can, than entail on herself and family the curse of overwork. care of a Child. The child should from the first be accustomed to absolute regularity iu regard to his meals; but although this is essential, it is a very great mistake to apply the same rule to other matters?dressing, for instance. I have known many otherwise judicious mothers, with a mania for regularity, insist upon the baby's bathing hour with as much energy as upon its evening meal, and allow of its being wakened to be washed. This is a very serious mistake. An infant's sleep should never be brokeu in hpon. Even when the nursing hour arrives, it is exceedingly injudicious to arouse thebaby for the sake of punctuality; but so easily are habits formed, that if the child is uursed at regular intervals, from the beginning, it will naturally stir about the right time, and can be gently lifted up and nursed without arousing it entirely. Washing and dressing are quite difr A. -? T4- Tl 4ry lereuutuiuus. it ia icauj u^wi ^ the infant remain unwashed than to waken it because the time for the bath has come. It is necessary to insist upon this fact, because calm is the keyhole of training the baby. Fussy nurses and mothers, overanxious and fidgety, never have those sonsy, good tempered, smiling babies whom we all love to see. TheTittle ones in the over, exact nursery are nervous, peevish, irritable; as unsatisfactory- as those on whose training no thought whatever is expended. Little Stuart had spent his first day at school. "What did you learn ?" was his auatie's question. "Didn't learn anything." "Well, what did you do?" "Didn't do anything. There was a woman wanting to know how to spell 'cat,' and I told her." When there is elevation of character there will be fastidiousness. R. M.
