A JIfty 3forninsr. MRS. ANNIE DOCGI,AS REM.. Buttercups and daisies Star the meadow grass ; la amongst the clover Flitting shadows pass. Bees are gayly humming, , Songs of birds declare * Summer days are coming. We've no time to spare. Pretty Robin Redbreast Holds bis bead so bigb ; Pipes his saucy whistle To tbe passer-by. *> Soon he spies a June bug On tbe dewy lawn ; O, how bright his eyes are. Though 'tis hardly dawn. !, .Ipnnv Wren is troubled About a biding site: How tbat idle robin Wastes the moriog light! She must have a home nest Sheltered snug from view. Where the boys can't find ber: Tbat larch tree near will do. Such a lively chatter Foretells a busy day ; What is more enchanting Than a morn in May ? ?Sunnv Hour, j Thackeray somewhere warns young people that the world is a looking blotto and will return such looks. whether of sweetness or sourness, as they cast into It. This is recalled by the following suggestive passage whicb a secular paper furnishes : "There are many plain young girls whose faces are lined with discontent and unbappiness. There is a drawn, perplexed expression between the eyes, and the corners of'the mouth have a decided droop. These are the girls who have a settled idea thattbey are plain beyond remedy, and the distressing belief has deepened the liues of dissatisfaction ; but in reality there is only a cloud over the face, cast by the j habit of unhappiness. ' "One morning a certain girl whose face was under this cloud walked out across the sunshine of the common. For a moment the gloom had lifted in, the lightness of the morning and her thoughts were unusually pleasant. " 'Whata pretty, happy girl that we have just passed," she heard one o the two ladies passing say to the VUIV&* "She looked quickly around, with envy in her heart, to see the pretty girl, but she was the only girl in sight. "Why, they mean me! No one eyer called me pretty before! It must be because I am smiling," "Again, as she was getting on a horse car she heai d (the fates were out in her favor): 'Do see that pretty looking girl !' "'Well, I declare, I am always going to look happy if this is what comes of it! I have been called homely all my life, and here twice iu one day I've been called pretty.' "From that memorable day a new beauty has graced her social circle." Our best blessings fail of appreciation by us because of their very common ness. Only when some temporary intermission of their beneficent influence brings to our mind a sense of their real value, do we see them as they are. It is when we are sick that we realize how good ordinary health is. If we lose our breath for a single minute during some spasmodic constriction of the throat we have a fuller knowledge of the blessedness of breathing, in those sixty burdened seconds, than we y have gained in six years of uninterrupted lune power. When we are away from home, we see home in a new light. A temporary estrangement from a dear friend gives to us a fresh consciousness of the worth of the frianrinhin that now seems imperiled. So of all the blessings that we owe -v. most to. A little boy lay sick at home while his mother was away. She had been sent for, but the hours dragged wearily while he waited for her. By and by, after a troubled * sleep, the little fellow opened bis eyes to see bis mother's loving face bent over him. Throwing bis tired arms around he neck, he drew her down to him, with the whispered word from his overflowing heart, "Mothers are great!" Yes, mothers are great; aud the boys and girls who do not realize this while their mothers are near them i will realize it by and by, when in their j loneliness they reach out their arms after "mother," without finding the dear neck to clasp and the loved face to kiss once more.? S S Times. . George Washington] i vs. > ss. Benjamin Harrison*. J George Washington, iu his farewell address, said : "Avoid the necessity of those overgrown military estab- j lishments, which, under any form of; oftwriimpnt. are Inausnicious to liber- ! ty, and which are to regarded as particularly hostile to Republican Liberty." Again, "against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens,) the jealousy of a tree people ought to be constantly awake; since history and experience brove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of Republican ' government.,, Benjamin- Harrison 6ays : "Noth- j inrruHII on mnnli nirt t.r? cnlarnr mir I State militia aDd to give it efficiency and character as the plan proposed. The military taste and training acquired in the school will carry our best young men into military organizations, and make those organizations reliable ' conservators of public order, ahd ready j and competent defenders of the na-! tional honor." i Certainly President Harrison's ad dress is directly opposite President ' Washington's. If he knows any reasons, eiiberat home or abroad, why the school boys and Boys' Brigades aud i Epwortb Leagues should drill and: arm, he should inform the public ; ill' not, he should encourage them in the Washingtonian ways. Has he iufor- 1 mation that warrants him in forwarding this European craze for arming. |( which is taking hold, of the United r States??C. A. and Mes. Peace. i' " ' !< The St. Louis Globe Democrat re-1 cently devoted several of its columns j1 to an article from the pen of a most.;' remarkable eastern adept entitled, 11 "The Theosophical Theory of Vital !1 Prolongation," which says, among j' other innovations upon modern cus- \1 toms : "Meat-eating, even in a minor'' i degree, is open to the same objections j1 ? as alcohol drinking. It increases the ' rapidity of life, violence of the pass-j( \ ions and tends to make coarse both i, i\ the moral and physical nature ; hence j' the meat diet must go as man develops M his higher nature. Meat may do for * the warrior who would fight and die, 1 ; \ but will never support the sage whoi< !$1 would think and live." 1 f r - ' ::.i ? i T A commercial traveler, who occu i ft pied the same compartmeut with a'j clergyman, asked him if he had eveijy heard that in Paris as often as a priest' .. was hanged a donkey was hanged at! i at the same time. The victim of theji joke replied in his blandest manner. i "Well, then, let us both be thankful | ( that we are not in Paris " ., ' .-vv. ' 1-;- b , - .. I Two Wonlo Which Knocked Out flip I nionAnunrv l.nir. 3 ]t is not curious, but it is a fact that the Dispensary law was knocked out by two small words. They were simply "I concur," written by Associate Justice McGowan on the back of the opinion of Chief Justice Mclver. Xo man can count or foretell what _ those two words mean to the people of | a whole State , what will be their ef- J feet on the more thaih one million population; how many days of sorrow and suffering they will cause; how many men will fill the graves of drunkards because they were written : how many fights and how much blood-i shed will be the consequence of them. Two 9hort words of the English language have changed the whole J course of a State government; have A thrown hundreds of people out of em- I ploy ment and have made a portion of I the State a laughing stock and a puz- ^ zle which is harder to solve than any ever presented to an enlightened public. Two words have put all the lawyers -- U..:? to pulling eacu oiuers umi, uiciapuuucally speaking, and have set the municipal administrations against each * other. They have made men scratch y their own heads and want to smash ?! the heads of other men. They have given the policemen of the cities and towns something to do and have opened tho opportunity for many a young man to drink whiskey, play cards and pool and billiards. A thousand and one things could be given as the effect of these two small words, and it is safe to say that no two words have ever been written, unless in times of war, which have had the bearing on so many people as those mentioned.?Columbia Register. Hoys anil Boys' Ways. "Watch that boy now," said Phil. "Which boy?" said Ned. "That boy who was at play with us down on the sand. His name is Will. He knows how to look out lor himself, doesn't he?" "j Phil and Ned, with their parents, J had been spending some time at the seaside. Will was a boy who had come to pasB the evening in the parlor of the boarding house. Here it was that Phil and Ned saw Will taking a great deal of pains to Hud a good place. CI First, he hai noticed a large book full of pictures on the table. After looking at it for p.few minutes, he had y huuted out a largeeasy chair, and was *c tugging at it to get it to the table. J "There, he's got it squared round 2 just to suit him," laughed Ned. "Now he's moving the lamp nearer G it," said Phil. "And?well, if I ever! if he isn't A putting a footstool before it. I suppose T1 he's all ready to enjoy it." Ei It was plain that Will was. With a G pleased look he gazed around the room until he caught sight of a lady who was standing. He darted toward her, and said ? "Come, mamma, I have a nice i>lace for you." He led her to the chair, and settled the stool to her feet as she sat down. Phil and Ned looked a little foolish. Presently Phil sprang out of his chair as his mother came near. "Mamma, take my chair," he J said Ned stepped quickly to pick up a Fl handkerchief which a lady had drop- th ped. and returned with a bow. Tney are wise boy& who profit by u gracious lesson given by a true gentleman. Titkinc Hint Down. A good story is told by the London World of a purse-proud old |nobleman who was traveling through the rural districts of Sweden. In that country bc evidently the people do not have quite ac as much respect for the titled aristo- fe cracy as in some other localities on the continent. One day the nobleman came rolling up to a country tavern, ami as he stopped his carriage lie called out in an imperious tone : I Horses, landlord?horses at once!" | I am very much pained to inform you that you will have to wait over an hour before fresh horses can be brought up," replied the landlord, calmly. 811 "How!" violently exclaimed the nobleman. "Thisto me! My man, I demaud horses immediately." Then observing the fresh, sleek looking ones being led up to another carriage, he coutinued : "For whom are those horses ?" They are ordered for this gentleman," replied the landlord, pointing to a tall, slim individual a few paces distant. Tji "I say. my man," called out the in nobleman, "will you let me have those st horses if I pay you a liberal bonus?" "Perhaps you are not aware who I am," roared the now thoroughly agitated and irate' nobleman. "I am, sir. Field marshal Baron George Sparre, the last and only one of my race." 1 "I am very glad to hear that," taid 1 the slim man, stepping into his car- ' riage. It would be a terrible thing to think that there might be more of you coming. I am inclined to think that L your race will be a foot race." The slim man was the King of Sweden ! Cariosity. fo "Ellen Snell has more curiosity than any girl I ever saw." "That's good," aaid Aunt Nancy, promptly. "Good! Why?Aunt Nancy?" "Certainly it's good. How in the world is a girl to know anything with- _ aut curiosity ??or a boy either?" S "But she opens her mother's notes I and listeus at doors, "and?" | ' Oh ! that! The trouble isn't curi- | asity, then: it's the girl. I think J[ curiosity is a good deal abused. When people want to pry into other folks' affairs, against the golden rule and common decency, it's called curiosity. Well, it may be one kind. There's Lwo kinds of 'mo->t everything, sweet J or sour fruit, for instance. Hut the right kind of curiosity is a good thing, smd people never seem to think ot Lhot. When poor old Widow Burrow's smoke doesn't come out of her it chimney, I know something's the matter. Shall I leave her all alone in Lhe house to die when her boy is away, >r go over to inquire into it?" But, Aunt Nancy "that is interest, sn't it?" "Why, her neighbor, Gray, doesn't wt hink so. She says, 'I saw the smoke wasn't coming out of Mrs. Burrow's jhimney, but I didn't like to intrude; some people are too curious about their neighbor's affairs. Don't you think) jo?" "Intrude! Satan keeps more good w seople apart from each other with that ivord than any other 1 know. If you ;ee any girl or boy in trouble and don't >vaut to bother with them, call it !azi- U less, and don't hide under 'intrude?' 1 \s for Ellen Snell's curiosity, when jrod's grace has changed her heart, it yill be a fine thing." th Rosenberg &[lo|s: i c. aim; ipTi cup he ' headquarters f j FOR i Ming, p * Shoes, *| Tr. j ..i nais, #AND#!
