"She never even said 'Tbank you !' but, 'Set the cup on tbe table, child, and don't knock over the bottles. Wby don't your mother conie herself, instead of sending you?

" 'TIs as crooked as the letter 8, and has been for twenty years. You _ ure just twenty years too late, Mr. fil" Daws," said Joe, as he dropped the rope, and wiped the sweat from his face. ' "Are you sure you have not begun twenty yeara tooJate on tobacco and rum, Joe?" asked Mr. Daws. "That is a true word, master; and it is hard to break off' from them as to ~~ make this old tree straight. But I signed the pledge last night, .and, with God's help, 1 mean to keep it."

No one need despair so long as we have such pro- 1 mises of grace to help." "That is my comfort sir," said the man, humbly, "but I shall tell the boys to try and not get crooked at the begiuning." 1 "Mother," said Molly, as she stood by the window again at her mother's side, "I know now what is the mat- ' ter with old Mrs. Barnes. She need 1 not try to be pleasant and kind now, 1 for she is like the old tree?it is twenty years too late." "It is never too late with God's help to try to do better, but ray little girl _ must begin now to keep back harsh I words and unkind thoughts. Then 1 she will never have to say, as Joe I said about the tree, 'It is twenty years ! ' too late.' "?Sunday School Herald. 1 Win tiirlH Have IleniuloheM. r Helen Evertson, in Harper's Bazar, 1 explains the cause and suggests the remedies for a great and growing evil, as follows; j _ "When I went to school," paid a | 6 charming grandmother of ouracquaintance, "I never knew what it meant to have a headache. Yet my grand- , daughters complain of them almost * constantly. Something must he I wrong. What is it?" In the search for causes thus institu- j ted It was at first suspected that lack , yof proper ventilation in school or sleep? . ing-roonjs was to blame. This not proving t<> be the case, the food was ! _ inquired about, and several things ap- t peareu lO Hie bqiaiuic |;iauumui;uu( vw , be wrong. The girls were allowed to eat what, when, and what c^uautity they chose, not seldom omitting tlieir meals eu- [ tjrely. "Don't force them to eul," ' had beeu the parental {injunction, ' 'Young people will always eat ua bs- much as is good for thorn." Unforth lunately this is not always the case. There are many young girls who J have no appetite for their breakfasts, j the really most important meal of the h. day, and* if unchecked will start upon their day's work with no better pro. vision to meet its demands than a cup ' of cofFee and a cracker. The blood is ar- called to the brain by the first hours | a. of study; and the lark of nourishment ie, though not felt as such, is very per- j ceptlble in its effects After two or three hours of work the girls c^n do no more, They are exhausted, fretful, 1Cr unreasonable; their "heads ache." lte They feel but little more appetite for ] ve luncheon than for breakfast, aud that . at little they satisfy with the least nour- j lld laliing Boris of food which nre placed' lfir before them.

"It is interesting," he said to the dyspeptic young man, "to observe the different names we have for the same thing." "la it?" "Ofcourse it is." he went on with the persistence of the man of research. "Take 'lamb,' for instance. When it crets old it is called sheen.'" "Anybody knows that." "And the sheep, after it is killed, is called'mutton.'" "You're getting right around to where you started from." "How?"

With wealth going to waste all around them they cannot find it in their souls to be patient. They are not content to plod along as their fathers did before them and rflowly lay up a fortune. They must have it now, today, this in.-tant. When they go into an enterprise they want capital, and lots of it. They want to begin on a big scale and elect.ir.. A Tl 4>lw. irny tuc wuiiu, xi to uut tiio ugc ui 9aving br ">f spending. Speculation, in the opinion of the New York Tribune, is the erase of the hour. Every tnau wants to make more than he can earn by the sweat of his brow. He must double his money in a night, ami quadruple it the next day. It is an altogether artificial existence. Contentment is not sought nowadays. Ail the men want is excitement. What A Woman Never Admit*. That she is in love. That she ever flirted. That she laces tight. That she is tired at a ball. That she is fond of scandal. That her shoes are too small. That she cannot keep a secret. That it takes her long to dress. That she has kept you waiting. That she uses anything but powder. That she Bays what she doesn't mean. That she blushed when you mentioned a particular gentleman's name. Ilin Wit Saved Hiin. ' A certain Irishman, having been challenged to fight a duel, accepted the conditions after much persuasion. His autagonist, a lame man, walked on orutches. When the place for the shooting had been reached, the lame man's seconds usked that he be allowed to lean against a mile-stone which happened to stand there. The privilege was allowed, and the lame man took his stand, The Irishman and his seconds drew of!' to the distance agreed upon, one hundred feet. Here Pat's courage suddenly failed him, and he shouted to the lame man: "I've a small favor to ask of ye, sor." "What is it?" asked the cripple. Pat answered: "Itouldye that ye miglu lean agin the mile post, and now I would like the privilege of leanin' agin the next one." The laugh that followed spoiled everybody's desire for a fight, and the whole party went home without a shot having been fired. God Acknowledged, Mammon served. The sciiooi journal declares i great truth : ''The nether history of he Church may be written iu one significant sentence; Its leaders re* lognized <God, but served Mammon. Phis reason that eighteen centuries of Jhistianity have failed to produce an ethical human society. A study of :he reasons why the powerful have served Mammon while recognizing iiod, would reveal something of that .mderlying the persistent formalism in idnoation which the organization of >ur schools still exhibits, while all iclmnl leaders preach a different gos? pel." ?An UHUIH UlUrrieti lllilll SUJ n, i lo not like my wife to stay too closely it home.

Upon one occasion, when ooraiuu' niou services were being held and the Duke of Wellington walked up the aisle and was about to kneel around the communion table, a shabbily attired old man started to kneel beside him. A pompous and important ohurch official hastily motioned the Did man away, whereupon the Duke of Wellington, himself well stricken in years, suid softly, "Stop?all are equal llfiTH." The necessity for him who would gorw old gracefully is a cheerful disposition and the habit of looking,on the bright side. Passion strains the heart to its unmost, melancholy freezes ihe blood, and worry wears the best years of a man's life. No one who habitualy indulges in these or kindred pmotions has half a chauce of reaching advanced life. It is not silver or gold; it is not land or houses; it is not a flourishing business or hoauled funds that constitute true riches. The true riches are health and a pure heart, and the love of Christ. .EASE 5, &c., I have added 6.GONS AND PRICES.' >oor to Oi i NeedleHM Wawte. A few hints in regard to careless wastefulness are well worth considering. Waste in the kitchen is often 1 very great from apparently trivial p sources. e Id cooking meats the water is ii thrown out without removing the n grease, or the grease from the drip- d ping pan is thrown away. 1< Scraps of meat are tnrown away. p Cold potatoes are left to sour and a spoil. t Dried fruits fruits are not looked t after, and become worm v. f Vinegar and sauce are left standing v in tiu. v Apples are left to decay for want of k "sorting over." ' I The tea canister is left open. e Victuals are left exposed to be eaten 1 by the mice. n Bonea of meat and the carcass of v turkey are thrown away when they a could be used making good soups. v Sugar, tea, coffee and rice are care- o lessly spilled in the haudiing.

Brooms and mops are not hung up. si More coal is burned than necessary a by not arranging dampers when not d using the fire. D Lights are left burning when not n used. * Mustard is left to spoil in the cruse, w Pickles become spoiled by the leak- b ing out or evaporation of the vinegar, k Pork spoils for tbe want of salt, and c beef because the brind wants scald- t< iug. - a Hams become tainted or filled with o vermin for want of care. li Cheese molds and is eaten by mice s< an J vermin. y< Tea and coffe pots are injured on A the stove. I Woodenware is unscalded and left b to warp and crack. c And so on and on indefinitely, and t! it is important that the eye of the mis- b tress be ever viligant. no matter how n competent the "help*' may be consid- t< ered or how thorough the house- tl keeper. b To keep the jellies from moulding cover them over with pulverized sugar t to a depth of a quarter of an inch.

I never heard so much noise n my life. In my home wo do not aake great noise. Our emotions are lsplayed, but they are <juiet and mead ious; here joy and displeasure ap?ear to call forth harsh sounds. They 11 seem to be in great hqste and hey they chew something all the ime. The ladies are the most Ibeautlul things in America, but they are ery strange to me. They always rant to shake hands. Then they ;iss each other. I do not like that, n my country we only kiss our mothrand sisters. Their dress is beautiful. Tieir form is strange. I think they nust wear something around the caist to hold them rigid. They are 11 much larger than we are, yet their waists are smaller. The other day ne of the lady visitors asked to come ato my house to arrange her dress. !be was as beautiful as the Java twiigbt. Her dress was the same. But ery strange?She wore jewels beeath her garments where no one ould ever see them. .This seemed trange tome: If the American womn wears jewels on her knees, why oes she not wear her skirt short so eople can see them ? This one had . luch lace on her clothes. We never rear any but a single piece on the raist. She had great quantities. She ad on so many skirts that I do not now how she walked. She never ould run, I an) sure. It is a wonder 3 me how they keep their bats on. I m sure that the thin cloth they wear ver their faces would choke me. I ke the children the best.

Her house was as retty as possible, and always in perjct order; she kept it on a very small icome and kept it beautifully. She iade all of her own clothes, and those f her child; she trimmed hats for erself and sisters; shedid fancy work; be painted cbairs, thereby saving as men as seventy five cents; she taught class in a mission sewing-school; she )ok lessons in cooking; she belonged ) several charitable organizations? d the end of that woman was nerous prostration and a sanitarium. Amid her occupations she had someow lost sight of the fact that a cerlin amount of amusement is neces iry for the human mind. She had ever "had time" for rest or diversion, .nd her husband, as he paid the bill >r medical services, possibly reflected ow much better, and not only better, ut cheaper would prevention have een than the cure. Prayer has in its keeping all good lings, "There is no way," said the iteDr. Alexander, "in which we can tore surely increase mutual love than y praying for one another.
