] The Little Word that was Lost. I lost a very little word Only the other day ; A very naughty little word I had not meant, to say. If only it were reatty lost, I should not tniud a bit; I think I should deserve a prize For really losing it. For if no one could ever find Again that little word. So that no more from any lips Could it be ever heard, I'm sure we all of us should say That it was something tine With such completeness to have lost That naughty word of mine. But then it wasn't really lost When from roy lips it flew ; My littie brother picked it up. And now he says it. too. Mamma said that the worst would be I could not net It bad:; But the worst of It now seems to me, I'm always on its track. Mamma Is sail, papa looks grieved ; Johnny has said it twice; Of course, it is no use for ine To tell him it's not nice. When you lose other things, they're lost; But lose a naughty word, And for every time 'twas heard before Now twenty times 'tis heard. If it were only really lost, Oh, then I should be glad! I let il fall so carelessly The day tbat I got mad. Lose other things, you never seetn To come npon their traek: But lose a naugbty little word, It's always coming back. Early Lessons in Etiquette. importance ok the tkopkk training of children pa the table. The manner of eating is. without doubt, one of the surest tests of refinement. This test is as applicable to brutes as to men. There is as much difference in the refinement of individuals of the canine and equine and bovine and feline species as in those of the human species, aud the difference is seen most plainly iu their personal habits, and particularly in their habits of eating. There is no pain of the social sorts more exquisite than the pain endured by a sensitive and refined nature when by stress of circumstances it is compelled to feed on husks with swine. This was the crowning agony that brought the prodigal son to himself, and influenced him to return to his father's home, where the servants even had good food and to spare. The mother who would have her children form correct habits at the table should begin early and keep up the training till it becomes second nature to them to eat properly and behave faultlessly. She must create a proper sentiment in them by having the tabic well ap]>oiuted, the food prepared ami serveu daintily and the order of tin service unvarying. As to the table appointment, tiie cloth should be scrupulously clean, though it be only coarse material; it should be nicely starched and ironed and put on straight, its folds parallel with the side of the tablt and they with the side of the room. The napkins, of however coarse mate rial, must also be clean, carefully ironed and put on in place. The arrangement of the dishes on the table must be uniform, regular and tasteful; each di9h, plate, spoon, glass, beiug in its appointed place and kept there. Any one accustomed to orderlv appointments by habit soon learns to feel the necessity of taste and exactitude. These arc fearfully neglected in many families. Table furniture of all sorts*is hustled on without regard to appearance or order, the naperv is disgusting, the carelessness in disposing it equally so, ana me ivsunn un, w.,v such as might l>e expected. Children who are required to behave at the table every day as they are taught to behave when company is present, must sii down every day to as well set a table as is set for company. As to food it is impossible to feel polite and well mannered over unpalatable, coarse, ill prepared, indigestible food. Every mouthful of it provokes ill humor, resentment, dissatisfaction. The bouse mother who insists on good table manners must give her family good food. How can one be gentle and polite and sweet tempered on a diet ol sour bread, muddy coffee, soggy potatoes, heavy piecrust, leather batter cakes? Chesterfield himself would forget his manners if compelled for any length of time to subsist on such a diet. As to the methods of eating, with the assistance of the knife and fork, the food may be so divided as to reliew the incisors of part of their work, and make small mouthfuls a pleasure. Tlu grinders indicate that grinding in tliei ic a ?art of the process of nutri-j tion. Animals destitute of grindersbolt their food. It is not fitting thai human beings should eat as eats and dogs do, since they have such a "miil'ready for use which dogs have not. The lips are so constructed that the noise of grinding, which is intolerable to ears polite, may be effectually disguised. This is a point that cannot be too urgently insisted upon. Food, whethei liquid or solid, must be conuyed into the mouth, and from the mouth downward, silently. The position at the table should be unconsi rained and easy, the person sitting erect or slightly bent forward wheu eatinir, so that the mouth may be diiectly over the plate ; arni> sliould be held at the side, not extended at right angle to the body. The elbows should be kept off the table. Leaning back in one's chair is a grievous violation of table etiquette. '1 In mouth and fingers must be kept, during the process of eating, absolutely clean. The use of the fork to the exclusion rvf ?iio bnitv? in earrviiur food to tin mouth is insisted on. Leave taking i* permissible only by permission <?f tinhostess. Table talk should be Ibhl, agreeable, general, each person present contributing his or her quota to tlx general fund, and children obscivinj: the excellent rule of being "seen and not heard," unless they are in such majority that the conversation is keyed to their level. Parents who will be at the pains to set their children such examples as they wish to see followed and will hold themselves to a high standard of etiquette, will have no difficulty in attaining the results they desire.?Christian Advocatc. The Unrulj Member. BY RACHKL I)KAX. "Well, here I am at home again after a day's visitiug," said a young lady as she laid aside her hat and gloves. "How did you enjoy yourself?" was the inquiry made l>y a member of the family. "I'm sorry to say not particularly well" was the dejected reply. "Why, what was the matter? Were you not feeling well ?" "Oh yes, as well as usual, but everybody talked too much, and although 1 left home with the intention of being discreet in ' " ^ ti?. my S])Wni (Mumaif; in,* i.MNiip., ,,.v first tiling I knew I was led into saying many foolish, unnecessary things.

The warden of a state prison tells the following pathetic incident of a life convict: "1 was passing out of the prisonyard one bitterly cold Christmas morning. Just outside of the gate and crouching close to the high stone wall, I saw a thinly clad little girl of about twelve years, her face and hands blue with cold. ?Shc put out one <>f her hands to detain mu as 1 passed.

" 'Well, if you please, sir, I'd like to know if 1 eau go inside and see my? my father. He's in there, and 1 lining him something for Christmas. It ain't inueh, and I didn't s'pose you'd mind any if iie had it. His name is Mr. John 11 v.' "1 recognized the name as that of a life convict?a man notoriously had. 1 went back into the prison-grounds, the child following me eagerly, (ioing t<> my office, 1 sent for the convict. He came, sullen and dejected ; in his fare was the look of utter hopelessness, the faces of the prisoners lbr life so often wear. The child sprang forward to meet him, the hot tears streaming over her white face. Ho stepped back, sullen and seemingly angry. No word of welcome came from his Jips for the ragged, trembling little creature who stood crying before him, with something clasped in her hand. " 'I?1?came to?say Merry Christmas, father,' she faltered. '1?I? thought maybe you'd be glad to see me. Ain't you any glad, father?' " 'Christmas!' 'Christ!' What would that man not have given for freedom of body and soul! "The convict's head dropped. The hard look was going out of his face, his eyes were moistening.

Her trembling lingers began imtvrapping the soft white paper in her hand, and she held out a short, shining curl of yellow hair, carefully tied with a bit of old ribbon. 'I wouldn't give ihis to anybody on earth but you, father. You used to truly love little Johnnie?mother said you did?and so?' "The man fell to his knees with both hands clasped over his face. " '1 did love him,' he said hoarsely. 'I love him still; bad as 1 am, 1 love him still!' " 'I know it,' said the child, going closer; 'and I kiiowedyou'd like this, now that Johnnie's dead.' " 'Dead!' cried the man, rocking to and fro, still on his knees with his hands over his face. 'My little boy!' " ' Yes,' said the child; 'he died in the poorhouse only last week, and ihere's no one left but me now.

This must l>e a sermon, hecame it has a text: "1 keep my body under." Little Bertie iilynn had just finished nisdinner, lie was in ti;e cosy library keeping slill fur a few miutuea- atiei eating, according to his mother's lttie. ?he got it from tne family doctor, ami .1 good rule it is. Bertie was sitting ii> lis roekmg-cliair before the pleasant ^rate lire. He had in his hand two line apples, a rich red and a given, tits father sat at a window reading the newspaper. Presently he heard the child say : "Tbanu you, mitv master. Dropping Ins paper, he said : "1 thought you were alone, iJjrtic. Who was iiere just now?" ".Nobody, papa, only you and I. "Didn't you say just now, ''ihankj you, lit lie master V " 'iheehild did not answer at first, hut laughed a shy laugh. .Soon Insaid : "I'm afraid you'll laugh at me if 1 loll you, papu." "Well, you have just laughed, and why mayn't I ?" "Hut l mean you you will make fun of me." "No, I won't make fun oi' you. hut perhaps I'll have fun witii you. That will make us digest our roast beef." "I'll tell you ahout it, papa. 1 had eaten my red appicand wanted to eat my green one, too. Just then I remembered .something 1 learned in sehooi about eating, and 1 thought oni big apple was enough. My stomach will be glad if I don't give it thegieen one to grind. It sietmd for a minute jttst as if it said to me, 'Thank you, little master;" but J know 1 said it myself." "Bertie, what is it ^liss Ai'Laren has been teaching you aiiout eaung." ".She told us to be careful uot to give our stomachs too much food to grind. I f we do, she says, it will make bad lilood, and that u ill run into our brains and make them dull and stupid, so that we can't get our lessons well, and perhaps give us headaches, too. It we give our stomachs just enough work to [do, they will give us pure, living blood that will make us feel bright and jcheerful in school. MissM'Laren say> that sometimes when she eats too much of something that she likes very much, it seems almost as if her stomach moaned and complained ; but when slit denies herself and doesn't eat too : much, it seems as n n were uiuukiui ami glad." "That's a.s good preaching as the minister's Bertie. What more did Miss M'.Larch tell you about this matter V" "She taught us a verse one day about keeping the soul on top. That wasn't just the words, but it's what it meant." At this papa's paper went suddenly right up before bis lace. When in a minute it dropped down there wasn't any laugh on his lace as lie said ; "Were not these the words : 'I keep my body under?" "Oh, yes ! that was it, but it means just the same, if 1 keep my body under, of course my soul is on lop." "Of course ft is, my boy. Keep your soul on top, and you'll belong to the grandest style of men that walk on earth."? rnxhyleriau.

"Thai man? lie is the man that i mentis my shoes when they need it," i was l he lvply. ! "Well,'' said the first speaker, "I wouldn't speak It) him; don't think it's niee," "And why not?" queried the other. ["He is a kind, faithful, houest, liard. working man. I never pass his winidow hut 1 see him on his bench work! ing away, and when I bow to him and !give him 4(jood-morning' he looks as ! pleased as can be. Why shouldn't I jspeak to him?" I "1 never speak to that elass of peo pie," said life othsr; "they're not my kind." "I do," was the rejoinder. "I speak to every body 1 know?from Dr. Brown, our minister, to the colored man who blacks our stoves and shakes our carpets?and I notice that the humbler the one in the social scale to whom I protler kindly words, the more greatful is the recognition I receive in return.

That cobbler is really quite an intelligent man. I've lent him books to read, and he likes quite a high style of leading, too." The two girls were cousin?, and they (innlly agreed to leave the question as to recognizing day laborers, mechanics, and tradesmen to a young lawyer of whom they had a high opinion. .So the first time the three were together one of the girls asked him : "if you met Myers, the grocer, on Broadway, would you speak to him?" "Why, yes, certainly; why do you ask?" "And would you speak to the man 'vtliltlou Willi* slll?f?s?" "Certainly, why not?" "And (lie janitor of the building where you have your otliee?" "Of course." "And the boy that runs the elevator?" "Certaiuly." "Is there any body you know that you don't speak to?" "Well, yes; I dont speak to Jones, who cheated a poor widow out of her bouse ; or to Brown, who grinds down his employees and gives them starvation wages; or to Smith, whom I know to be in private any thing but the saint he seems to be in public. J speak to every honest man 1 know whom I chance to meet. Why do you ask ?" "Because we simply want to know,") replied the young lady who had taken her friend to task for speaking to a cobbler. In fact, site was ashamed to tell him that lie was referee in the discussion on tiiis point held a day or two before. It is the privilege of nobility to be yeutle and courteous to all. Kindly words hurt no one, least of all him or Iter who speaks them. Tho Test oMIic I.oisnrc Thought. When the Psalmist prayed that the meditation of his heart might be acceptable in the sight of God, he had al???ut reached the limit of consecration; lie was ready to surrender the la^t stronghold of self. 'J he chronological succession of the I'salms can not now be ascertained, hut there is strong internal evidence that this prayer came after the affair i f Uriah the Hittite. David had probably not then learned to appreciate the dangers that threaten even a good man in his hours of ease. But Bath-slie'?a's presence in the royal house was a daily reminder to him of that fatal hour when, in a leisure walk upon the h >use-top, he was surprised into a sin which shadowod his own life and put into the mouths of God's enemies a launt lb; t has served its evil purpose | from that day to this. 1 lut activity can not continue alI wnvs. There must needs be intervals [of rest in our daily life; moments (t\ hen the mind turns in upon itself, or eeks recreation in realms of fancy, or falls into musings upon the pa*t or the future. At such times the enemy of souls is unusually alert, and the world and the flesh are apt to allure us with a fascination that it is hardest to resist, l o he strong, then?to forego the sensuous delights of unrestrained reverie ?is a severe test of Christian character. The wonder of Job's constancy s, that lie coultl sic down in enforced inactivity for days, and years, perhaps, of suffering, anil yet without sin. Hut possibly it was Job's boils that saved iiiiu after all. Ileinight have found it harder to be patient if he had been condemned to sii there and merely hold his hands?physically capable of enjoyment, and yet surrounded by the ruin of all that inigh have given him pleasure. This habit of holy contemplation and communion is what the ascetics of old so often vainly sought by fast and vigil. The mistake they made was to msiunifv sacrifice at the expense of ser vice, not knowing thai "the heaven within develops only us heart mul inilid and hands are busied in creating heaven around us. A word of eheer to a despairing sou), the cup of cold water to a thiist}- pilgrim, count for more in this development than all the dramatic suH'crings of .St. .Simeon on his tower. A living sacrifice and service of love, a consecration that includes Uie profoundest emotion of [the soul, is that, which Paul declares to be "acceptable unto Clod." What say you, brother; can you stand the test of the leisure thought? For C'luirch-<?oers. In an lip-town church in New York, the writer found the following "Hints for Church Attendants" on printed >lips scattered among the pews : 1. Prepare for divine service in your closet, not at your toilet. i?. lie earlv at church, and occupy I lit* inoiiH'iits lie*fore service with meditation and prayer. Consider tlie sermon, no matter who may he the preacher, as a message from Cod, not as an effort from man. 1.

In (lod's house all .should he ! kindly afrectionned one t?> another, with brotherly love, in honor preferring oik* another, Creel cordially those around you; welcome strangers into your pews; hut let all he done revcieiitly, and for the glory of Cod. ??. (iive accordingly to your means. If you spend money for dress and luxuries, do not stint your offering for Cod's house. Always hegin to economize with self first, and with Cod hist. 7. Carry your religion into your daily life. The respectable opponents of a reform are more hurtful to it than the more extreme and wicked class. The latter would soon bring their cause into disgrace ami failure, except for the former. Man can do everything with himself hut lie must not attempt to do much with others. 'Mic Inspiration of Cheer. Half the battle of life consists in keeping up a cheerful spirit. When depression comes and the clouds, when the spirit is loa.led with deadening ' pain, all work becomes a drudgery, and life is a burden and difficulty. I Whatever is done is carrieu on uuuci p compulsion, with a wish that it could i be avoided, and a feeling of pleasure ?if so mournful a kind of congratulation can be called a pleasure?that it is at last completed. And even if?because there is will-power enough to ] drive it along and favorable circum- i stances to make it successful?it will afford but little satisfaction, .for the spirit will be loaded with forebodings and the mind be full of the prophecies of coming evil. If any good work be well done, it must be amid buoyancy and hope. With this experience, no matter how hard the task may be or how unpromising, there will be energy given to it, aud that facility of skill and tact that, unless the hindrances are invincible, will carry it through to a good end. Our religious work very often lags and fails, not because J we are not in earnest in it?perhaps we expend unnecessary labor on it? but because it is done under a cloud. Hope is wanting. There is no enthusiasm, no spring and eager onlooking and vision of inevitable accomplishment. Hut if the heart is bright, it ...in i.q ?i,i? to in, cliHorfuUv through an experience, and also bear ils disappointments, rejoice in its tribulations, and not only believe, but know, that Ciod makes all things work together for good to those who love Him. It is not possible, not for all of us, all the time. Moods are many, and we are liable to fall into dull ones betimes; but it ought to be a part of our Christian effort to drive away the clouds if possible and turn to the beautiful and inspiring light. A Mnn in the Ditcli. About eighteen years ago, three ministers were walking on country road a little north of Aberdeen. It was late at night, and they had been attending a meeting in the country. As they went along, they noticed a countryman in a state of intoxication scrambling on all fours out of a ditch. , One of the ministers said," I must i go and speak to that man." The two tried to djssuade him, tellintr him it wa9 of no use, and he would get nothing but abuse. But the minster said, "The Spirit j of God bids me, and I must speak to him." By this time the man had got out of the ditch. The minister began to : speak to him, whereupon the fellow 1 took oil' his coat, and wanted to light him. ! The minister said, "I can flight, but not with your weapons and getting down on his knees, he began to pray1 very earnestly for the uian. As lie J pleaded, God touched the man's heart i and he got down 011 his knees beside the minister. By the time the minister had liuished the prayer, the drunkard was ready to be spoken with ; and he was pointed to a sinforgiving Saviour. They stopped at the first cottage on the road, and asked the people if they could lodge the man for the night. After looking at him, the man said, "Why, we have just been holding a prayer-meetiug for that very man. He is my brother. We have had a special prayer-meeting to-night to ask God for his salvation." -?? . ft ....... - m Jc. a ?vi! n i ofor ?

To build a fire scientifically; To fill the wood box every night; To shut doors in summer to keep the flies out; To shut doors without slamming; To shut them in winter to keep the cold out; To do errands promptly and cheerfully; To get ready to go away without the united efforts of mother and sister; To be gentle to his little sisters; To wash dishes and make his bed when necessary; To sew on a button and darn a stocking; To be kind to all animals ; To have a dog if possible, and make a companion of him; To ride, row, shoot and swim ; To be manly and courageous ; To let cigarettes alone. There is nothing more sad in life than the disappearance of familiar faces, the closing of hospitable doors, the sudden emptiness which takes possession of a spot once warmly filled with a pleasant image, As life goes on, this is what happens to us all. Often, after long tranquility, there will arise a great wave of loss, sweeping away one after another of those whom?where they stood in the prospective of our lives, which seemed impossible without them?we had felt to be "as steadfast as the scene."" It is so natural that life should go on, and eve ? ' 1 - * rything be as it nas aiways uet-u. i t-t,. 1?! in a moment, desolation and emptiness, and what was is no more. No true woman will allow any man, no matter what his profession, no matter what his previous life, no matter what his age, no matter how innocent his intentions, to treat her with undue familiarity. Her instinctive womanly feeling will always and quickly tell her that, so far from perfect love excusing such things, it is rather designed and calculated to prevent them. Perfect love is a synonym for perfect purity, in thought, in feeling in motive, in word, in act. Perfect love is pure love. Perfect love abstains from the very appearance of evil. The late Kmperor of Germany disliked to hear anybody speak slightingly of women. When he was Crown Prince, an officer once remarked to him of a wounded comrade that he was "weeping likeawoman." "Never make that comparison," said the Prince, with a frown. "Crying like lit child won III be bet for. women j have more fortitude than men." An Eastern potentate once asked a group of his courtiers which they thought the greatest man?himself or I liis lather. At first he could elicit no reply to so dangerous a question.
