Ruthie Aldeu was the sweetest cbih in the whole world, at least so Irei happy mother and father thought, an< her cousins, Miriam Clark and Su< Walton, taid soquite decidedly. Sh< wasjust about to celebrate her fiftl birthday. Her mother had baket small biscuits and cakes, and frostec a beautiful big sponge cake that ol( hlupfe ChristiH. the cook, had made. Four tiny girls had beeD invited, s( that, including Ruthie, there would b< "'zackly as mauy as I'm years old,' Ruthie said, clapping her dimplei hands in her joy. They all came In due time: Flossii Harris, Bessie Farley, Bertie Suov and Dorothy Austin. They all brough birthday gifts to the little hostess. Flossie's was a lovely bisque dol with sweet blue eyes and shiuing yel low hair. It was dressed with a won derful pink silk dress, ruffled and trim med with lace. Bessie's gilt was i great picture book full of biigh stories. Bertie brought a tiny set o furniture, and Dorothy a tine birthday booklet. Of course, Mr. and Mrs. Aldeu gavi their daughter beautiful gifts in hono of the eventful day, so with her man.' loving remembrances and her party the child fairly glowed with happi nets. The children ate their supper at i small table by themselves. Five can dies burning in the center of it?blue green, pink, yellow and white. Fivi Liny bouquets were arranged arouni it, one at each plate. There were tin; biscuits, cold chicken and pressed bee sliced on small pink-edge, platters olives, frosted cakes, and so man; other good things that I cannot men lion them all in this space. Ana a course there was a wonderful birih day cake, all gaily frosted, wiih tivi caudles burning on top of it. Such a happy, happy time these fivi little girls had from four o'clock unti seven, and then the four little guest weut home." Soon after that Ruthie's aunt, Mrs Seldon, a lady of fashion, entered tin house, bringing her maid with her The latter untied the chord of a pack age she had brought, revealing a beau tiful hat, upon the crown of which i bright-eyed red bird was poised grace fully. "See here, dear, what- T havi brought you for your birthday," sai< Auntie Seldon, taking the dainty ha from the box and holding it up fo Ruthies admiration. But what was the matter with th child? Mamma Alden and Aunti< Seldon were astonished, for the brigh child-face suddenly clouded, and tear stood in the sweet blue eyes. "Ruthie, darling, what is the mat ter?" asked mamma, anxiously. "Dovou not like that hat. dear?' questioned Auntie Seldom "I do ; 1 tink it is ve'y pretty," ans wered Ruth quickly, "but I dess don't fink I better take it. I toul< not wear it, you know." "Well, of all things?" exclaimei Auntie Seldon in a vexed tone. "I fank you, auntie, very much,' Ruthie said warmly, running and kis* iug her aunt fondly. "I fink you'ri [sweet and dood to bwing the hat t me. but I touldn't wear it. I jus touldn't." Ruthie was quite old enough to tall straight," but for some reason sh never had, and now she said, he voice trembling a little: "I b'loug to Auntie Soughter." "My dear, how strange you ict,1 tier mamma said. "Who under th sun is Auntie Soughter?" "Tousiu Sue'll tell you." "Oh!" from Auntie Seldon, a ligh breaking. "Mrs. Walton has a nev cook, an old colored woman froii down South. Perhaps her name i Auntie Soughter.

"I do love you auntie," asserte< Kuthie, stoutly, und then she brok down and sobbed. The outer doo opeued and closed, and in came Su Walton and Miriam Clark, brintdn some gifts to their little pet. Tliei surprise was great when they foun her in tears. Sue lifted her to her )ii| and put her arms around her lo\ ingly. "Tell cousin Sue the trouble dearie," she begged. "Auntie Seldon doesn't love me an, more'cause I b'long to Auntie Sougli ifi. it ui.liKo/l tlio 'Pull liur nhnn her, p'ease." ' But 1 never heard of her eithei dear?who is she?" gently. "Don't you know, in tlie little blu room over to your house, how I prow ised." Oh, you darling !" and Sue gave he little, cousin a squeeze, and then lau^l ing and crying at the same time, sh made an explanation in the child' behulf. "You know," she paid, "our p?

I There seemed to be a number of tear- ^ wet cheeks in the parlor just then, but A presently all was sunshine again, for Auntie Seldon crossed the room and ' lifted Ituthie from Sue's arms to her tjie own. f "You are a brave girl, my blessed tj . little dear," she said, "and I love you more uow than I ever did before, for . , you have taught me a lesson that I shall never forget." p .

Mrs. Sanders has the read much about crinoline in the pa- Pa* ' pers of late, and she naturally saw , that if she were to retain her position sut , at the bead of the best M;lan society I she must not longer delay taking up the crinoline. Accordingly, last Sunday am she arrayed herself iu it and started ren . for church. Her appearauce caused Pre considerable consternation, and we , fancy that even the runaway lions, ''p, vagrant tigers and astray leopards " ceased switching their tails for the ' lime being. Uufortunately in enter" ingihe Church Mrs. Sanders steered hei too close to a young man named An- 1 f drew Watson and.brusbed him oft* the tha platform into the mud. As Watson bni ^ floundered back on the plank he was fac< little enough gentleman to make a f?n ? "disrespectful remark about the lady." She went on into the church and told evi( ' her husband, who not having had any 1'tt ? atpiintrp wonrinv annarfl to ndiust. had bef( proceeded her. Mr. Sanders put down ple his hymu book auiJ took up his revol- " ver, which, of course, lay on the seat (l?l beside him. He then went outside ' and addressed an open air meeting, er. ?

Be ye steadfast, unmovable. always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. (Corinthians xv :58.) There is no greater mistake in the direction of the Christian life, than to give the nelrn to feeling. It would be as wise always to steer a ship in the direction the wind is blowing. It is a fine thine to have feeling and princi pie coincide in tbeir direction. In neaven they no doubt will thus coincide. But steering against the wind, acting right in spite of feeling, belongs to this life. For instance, in the omission or the performance of a religions duty, some give too much weight to . reeling. They dislike a routine of duties, becaust they do not find that tbeir feelings coincide with this. But the routine is the school in which right feeling attains its best development, as men learn to pray through the habit of saying their prayers. He who will not pray, except when feeling prompts, who is not determined to pray even in dryness, and darkness, and distraction of spirit, will often omit his prayers, when he most has need of them. "When prayer delights thee least, Then learn to say : 'Soul, now is greatest need That thou shouldst pray.' " S. 8. Times Silencc about Ourselves. Think as litcle as possible about auy good in yourself; turn your eyes resolutely from any view of your acquirements, your influence, your plans, your success, your following?above all speak as little as possible about yourself. The inordinateness of our selflove makes speech about ourselves like the putting of a lighted torch to dry wood which has been laid in order for burning. Nothing but duty should open our lips upon this dangerous theme, except it be in humble confession of our sinfulness before God.? Bishop Wilberforce. God waits long and Patiently. God walks with us so long as we try to keep with Him. But we must try and not trifle. He who sits down in the sand to play or runs after every butterfly that comes in the way will / jj i_ f I* _ 11 _ 1 ^ T> soon nna nimseii uu uiuue. uui mi the weak God waits long and patiently, and when we fall He stops long enough to pick us up and brush the dust from our clothes; and wheu we are thirsty he has time to lead us be* side the still waters; and when we are tired and hungry, to the greeu pastures ; ami when we "can go no farther and hold out our hauds to Him, He will take us in His arms and carry us. War crushes, with bloody heel, all beneficence, all happiness, all justice, all that is godlike in man. It suspends every commandment of the Decalogue ; it setsat naught every princi pie of the gospel; it alienees all law, human as well as divine, except only ! that blasphemous code of its own, the Laws of War. Beauty and duty are convertible terms. The beauty that violates the canons of duty is ugliness. Aud duty that takes up the humblest service Is beauty. We make our fortunes, aud we call them fate.
