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.

"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?

A True Heart.
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

" 'What is it'." J asked.
" 'Well, if you please, sir, I'd like to

my father. He's in there, and 1 lining
him something for Christmas. It ain't

"1 recognized the name as that of a

child following me eagerly, (ioing t<>

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

curl of yellow hair, carefully tied with
a bit of old ribbon. 'I wouldn't give

A Little Uoj's Sermon.
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.

i "Who in the world is that you're
speaking to?" said one young lady to
her companion of the sums sex and
aj;*.* as they walked down one of tlie
avenues the other day.
"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. Christ died for them
as much as He died for me, and perj
haps if some of them had had theoppor!
tunities my birtli and reariug have giv!
oil me ihey would be a great deal better

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

words hurt no one, least of all him or

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

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."

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. J'liiy before, during, and after
the seivicc for the minister and your
fellow-worshippers.
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."

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

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.
