She Resigned.
"You see how it is, my .-dear," he ^
said, taking her soft hand which bad 1
never done very hard-work, and pat- r
ting it reassuringly; "I'm poor ?only
a thousand a year, dear?aud we shall P
have a struggle to get along at first?" "I
don't mind tnat in the least,"
she interrupted, stoutly, rubbing het
cheek softly against his hand.
"And," he pursued, graciously hav- f
ing allowed her interruption?"we *
shall have to come down to economy. 3
But, if you cau only mui.ageas my
mother does, we snail pull through
mImIm 99 ' r
mucij.
"Arid bow does your mothqr man- 8
age, dear?" she usked smilingly?but
very bappy?at the notion of the
inoiher-iu-ltiW cropping out alriaily.
"I don't kuow," replied the lover,
radiantly; "but she always manages
to have everything neat and cheerful, d
ana something delicious to eat?and |,
she'does it all hereelf, you know ! So <i
that we always get along beautifully, t;
and make both ends meet, and father p
audi still have plenty of spending, 1
money. You see when a woman is a
always hiring her laundry work done o
and ber gowns and bonnets made, and t
her scrubbing and stove-blacking done
and all that sort of thing?why, it just t
walks into a man's income and takes t
his breath away." i
The young woman looked for a momeut
as if her breath was also inclined
for a vacation ; but she wisely con- v
cealed her dismay, and being one of t
the stout-hearted of the earth, she de- o
termiued to learn a few things of i
John's mother, so went to her house J
for a longvisit the next day. Upon ^
the termination of this visit, one tine
.T?iin tpi.pivpii to liis blank
amazement, a little package contain c
iug bis engagement ling, accompanied
by lhe following letter: o
I have learned how your mother j
"manages," and I am goingto explain
it to you, since you confessed you s
didu't know. I find that sheisa wife, c
a mother, a housekeeper, a business t
manager, a hired girl, a laundress, a c
seamaire?s, a mender and patcher, a t
dairy maid, a cook, a nurse, a kitchen f
gardener and a general slave for a fam- (
i ily of Ave. She works from Ave in the
imorning until ten at night; and I almost
wept when I kissed her hand? j
it was so hard and wrinkled, and cordjed,
and unkinsed ! When I saw her
polishing the stoves, carrying big buck- i
e:s of water andgreat arm fu is of wood,
often splitting the latter, I asked her i
why John didn't do such things for ?
iter. ''John !" sbe repeated, "John !" t
- and she sat down witha perfectly daz- (
ed look, as if! had asked her why the <
oi<nr?.iu <iiri 11 't cimip down and scrub
for her. "Why?John"?she said in 5
I a trembling, bewildered way?"he
works in the office from nine until 1
ifcrtir, you know, und. when he comes c
| home, be is very tired, or else?or else I
|? lie goes down town." Now, I have i
| become strongly imbued with the c/n.
viction that [ do not care to be so good i
a "manager" as your mother. If the '
wife must do all sorts of drudgery, so <
must the husband ; if .?he must cook,
he must carry the wood ; if she must
scrub, he must carry n>e water; if she),
must make butter, he must milk thej,
eews. You have allowed your mother j t
to do everything, and all that you',
have to say of her is that she is an, j
"excellent manager." I do uotlj
care for such a reputation, unless1
my husband earns the name also ; and
judging froui your luck of conaidera-j
tion for your mother, I am quite 'sure i j
that you are not the man I thought.]
you were, or one whom I would carei,
I to ruarry. As the son, the husband, is,! j
is a safe'and happy rule to follow.
So the letter closed, and John pon- .
! dered; and he is pondering yet. ,
We think it is Warburton, who
draws a very just distinction between .
a man of true greatness and a medio- |
erist. "If," says he. you want to ree-j.
commend yourself to the former, take : |
care that he qui Is your society with a |
good opinion of you ; if your object is j
to please the latter, take care that he |
leaves you with a good opinion of him \
self11
It is not until we have passed |
through the furnace that we are made t
to know how much dross there is in ;
our composition.
When you find yourself overpower- 1
ed, as it were, by melancholy, the besl ?
way is to go out and do something >
kind to somebody.. 1

Ilardlj Ever Without a Smile.
It was a sultry day in August, and a
ired, over-heated woman bad toiled
ill day in the little pent-ap kitchen.
Vt last the baking was all done and
he last dish wax washed and wiped,
ind she pressed one hand on her
hrobhing temples and sighed as she
eached up to take the mop down from
ts hook to scrub the kitchen floor.
I'hings had "gone wrong" all day, a*d
he scolded and grumbled to herself
vhiie she pushed the heavy mop to
rtid fro, back and forth, or wrung out
he thick cloth with achiug fingers.
She felt that her lot was hard, to be
>aking and scrubbing and tainting all
hat day, while her neighbor iu?t over
he fence was lying at ease*iu her hamnock
out under the trees and singing :
"Oh, nobody knows the trouble I have!"'
Presently a door wes opened softly,
ind her little daughter picked her way
vith prudent steps where the floor had
lot been wet aud climbed to a safe
>erch on the table. The mother mop>ld
away, hoping she need not speak
o her. "If J open my mouth I Bbali
ay something cross,'' she thought,
ind kept her lips shut tightly.
The little one watched her for a
ihort time, bending her suuny head
his way and that to study the down:ast
countenance, and flually she
poke.
"Mamma," said she, "I have hardly
sver seen you without a smile on your
ace."
"One time when you looked Borry
vas wbeu I was so sick, aud the other
ime was. now," resumed the serious
ittle voice; and the child leaned her
heiek upon her hand and sighed.
The mop handle dropped suddenly
ipon the floor, and two bare arma torjot
thtir aches aud pains and clasped
he darling in a fona embrace. "'Sing
o me, Alice. Sing :
Nobody knows the comfort I have,'
vhile I finish this patch of dirty floor.
There's one good thing about a little
ucked-up kitchen, it doesn't take long
o scrub it!"
So it came to pass that, out of that
lay of weary toil was learned a timely
esson of self-coulrol and patience that
lever was forgotten. Two times oi
'looking sorry" were quite sufficient
o live in the memory of her children.
-American Messenger.
The mother turi.eJ away for a mo-,
nent's rapid thought. Was it indeed
rue that she had made such an imiression
on that dear child's heart;
nd should she spoil it now? Should
he not rather set herself thenceforth
o keeping a smiling face through all
ife's petty trials? How sweet to be
emembered thus by all the children
nd her husband, too, for pleasant
uoks and ways!

Making Koom.
BY MRS. ELLA BEECH ER GITTINGS.
Jack and Charley sat on the kitchen
loor-step, in the shade of the big wilDW-tree.
eating their morning lunch 8
f crisp soda-craokern. Jack's pet ban- g
ams, forgetting for the time their Irn- i
tor tan t little strut, scrambled so eagery
after the crumbs that every now* j
,nd then the boys' bare toes got a vig- j
rous peck from their greedy little t
ills. i
Little four-yea:-old Matty, hearing
he boys laugh, wanted her share, of s
he fun. She ran to the door, cracker a
n hfind, and paid eagerlv": * t
"Eet me sit there too f" '
But Charley's blue flannel knees *
vere so wide apart that one of them a
ouched Jack's grey jeans, and the t
ither lay against the door casing, t
Against the opposite casing leaned ?
ack's head and shoulder. So it hap>ened
that Charley said hastily: 1
"There isn't any room." s
And in the same breath Jack said '
irossly :
"Oh! go 'way, Matty, and And some i
ither place. It's too crowded with t
fOU."

iracker crumbs across the kitchen t
loor, as she ran to lay her curly head
in mamma's lap, and sob out that the s
joys hadn't any room for her to help
ced the chickies. But in a minute <
Jbarley's voice rang out in the kindist
of tones: <
"Come on, Matty; here's room for
rou." I
And Jack called also:
"Yes, plenty of room, right between I
JS."
Matty brushed away her tears and 1
an back to the kitchen door. Sure
mough, between the blue flannel and
he irrev ieans there was room enough <
'or two such 1 ttle mites of girls as she i
>vas. 1
"How did you happen to And room
>o quickly?" asked mamma, smiling.
"We made it," said Charley, putting
lis arm lovingly about Matty's shoul- 1
ier's, and throwing out a big crumb)
or Mr. and Mrs. Banlam 'to scramble|
ifter.
"Remember, dearies," said grandna
from her corner, "theie's plenty of
nom in this world for every kindly
leed, if only we choose to make it."
It is a mistake which we make, unconsciously
ol'tentimeandyet amistake
kvhen we separate our lives into secular
ind religious parts. We can, of course,
jse the terms for convenience' sake.
But the Christian has no right to really
divide up his life into such parts. ;
It) is mischieveous in the extreme to!
permit one's eejf to think that any |
part?of course, in such a casq it is the |
larger part?of his life Is secular, and j
lience removed from under the control'
if rpla<rious considerations. The whole I
life should be eo. i serrated. If a maul
undertakes to serve God at all, he
hould serve God wholly. The Christian
should be religious at his work as
well as at his worship. To carryon
?ne's daily calling in the spirit of thej
gospel will oftentimes have a more po-j
;ent effect for tne good of others than I1
i great deal of religious talk. What)
the'world needs to-day, perhaps more!
than anything else, is religion carried,
into the daily business, and that sane-,
:ified. The life of the Christian |1
must be of one texture all the wayj
hrouffh.iu business as in devotion.'1

What Came of A Boy's Smartness.
A few mornings siuce. while waitng
at the station of a large oountry
own, I witnessed a little incident that
[ think wili interest some young peojif.
r
The ticket agent had gone to breakfast,
leaving the office in charge of a
right-looking boy of fourteen or flf;een.
The boy was reading whaC
mist have be?n a very interesting
)ook, judging from the reluctant manier
in which he laid it aside Io wait on che
passengers.v x
Hhortlv afler my arrival an old lady.
xidly dressed and evidently not acbusoaied
to traveling, came in, and aftir
leprisiting her bundles and procuring
ler ticket, inquired civilly of the boy:
"What time is the up-train due?"
"There1* a time-table on the wall belind
you," wa?*thesuriy reply. . 4,You
?n read, I reckon,"
\yithout a word the old woman put
>n her glasses, and after a long search

rnve given her in less time than it had
akeu to giVe the ungracious answer.
"7 : 35?7 : 33? It must be most that
Ime now," she soliloquised. Young
nan, will you please tell me what time
t is?" ?he asked timidly, glancing at
he boy again.
4 Why don't you look at the clock ?*'
neered the smart lad. "My business
s to tell tickets, not to, answer quesions."

And old gentleman, very plainly
Iretsed, who had been sitting in a corler
with his bat pulled ov,er his eyes,
ooked up quickly when he heard jthe
joy'sijnpoliieresponse; but he said
lothing. and after fhe lapse of a few
ninutes sauntered slowly across the
oom to the ticket-window.
"What is your name, my boy ?" he
(aid kindly, after nodding^intelligent

"I don't know that it is any of your
business; but if you have a fortune to v
eave, you can just name Dick Moron's
kid Jack, and it will be ail Ot K/ i
"Your father ought to be prood-of,.
lucb a promising boy," returned ths
jentleman dryly. "Is Mr. Johnson
n ?" lie asked a little sharply.
"You can find out by making u.?e of
,*our eyes, 1 gu?s?," said rhe boy,
glancing around under tables and
)enches, apparently very much av*
non/l
MJ uovhi,
. Jupt.then another boy came in with
wuie papers lor the agent, and his
imart friend ."aid, loud enough to be
leard all over the v?riting-room.
'Here, Fred! don't go away till John
on comes. Attend to, the tickets.-if
my arts wanted. I have been hored to
leath answering questions, and I want
o finish tiiis book before ?be boss gets
iround.
The new-comer quietly hung up his
jat anr? coat and went to wajt uj oh
some ladies who were standing at the
window.
" ' * i^.1/4 rt<mt]'o.
A few minutes inter me ??iu |icuv<?
man asked, somewbatsbarply: "What
line is the train due, Bub?"
"7:35," was the prompt answer. " .
"And what time is it now ?" deman- '
led the same impatient voice that had
jpoken before. g :
"It is junt fifteen minutes past
(even," replied the boy cbeerfulJy.
"Ape!" sneered smart Jack. "Why
lon't you blufl'bim ofl'?'
"What is your name?" persisted the
>ld man, stepping up a litile closer. %
"Fred Myer^," responded tbe boy
politely.
"Is the boss in?' was the next Inquiry
iu a much lower tone.
"No, fciir; he has gone to breakfast,
but will be back in few minutes," was
the uitffc answer.
"Seeing that your master is uot in,
can't you give rae cut rates to Wheeling
? I'll see that you are not found
uut." .
"My Master is a'.way a in," was .the
boy's quick reply.
Just then Mr. Johnson, the ttgent*.
came in; and addressed the plain-looking
9tranger as Mr. Hays, and the boys . N
both knew that the superintendent of
the railroad had been talking to them,
and before they had recovered from
their confusion they heard him say:
"Mr. Knox, your telegraph operator
has been appointed to take charge of
an office in the city, and I came down
to look after a suitable a boy to take his
l<lace here. Ilemembering the information
you gave me some time ago,.
I had made up my mind concerning
whom his successor should be, but af
ter what I have witnessed una muruing
I have come to the conslusion that
Dick Morton's kid Jack is entirely ton
smart for our use, and that is this boy,
w^iose Master is always ill, can be trusted
to take charge or' the responsible
position.
Smart Jack tried to mutter an excuse
for his impoliteness when he reali&cd
what he had lost, but the indiguanl .
superintendent coolly informed him
that his roughness towards passenger*
could not be tolerated, and that he
must seek other employment until he
learned to apply the small courtesies
of life.?Herald and Presbyter.
The prophecy of success for the Prohibition
party is in the fact that it. was
not born of circumstance, but of principle,
and therefore has a singular vitality
and persistency because of Ike
depth of the soil in which we are:
planted. The best cause will draw to
it the best men by a law of gravitation.
But parties of principles arc o'f
a slower growth than parties born of
circumstances.
