My Foe. BY ELLA WHKELER WILCOX. Not from my foes without, but those within, I pray to be protected, hour by hour; For that aggressive self that leads to sin, And lureB to pleasure with seductive power, Stands ever by tlie portal of desire, Aad mocks tuy spirit wheu it would aspire. From that most subtle foe. disguised as frieud, i need tie ever on my guard; and when 1 cease for one brief moment to defend The castle ot my soul, be seeks me tlieu In some unlocked for way, with mten so fair And voice so sweet, the while he sets his onoro With honeyed words and sophistries and lies He argues on the pleasures of the sense; t He pictures duty in a hideous guise, J And laughs at labor's paltry recompense, "Let Dullards toll," he cries, "Ihlne Is the right To gather all life's blossoms of delight." Again, In mask of teacher be appears. And cries: "Why seek to lift another's load? Each soul that Journeys down the vale of tears Must carry bis own burdeQ o'er the road ; Accept thine own, but let all others go," Despite his mask, I know him as my foe. My base foe, self, which, envious of the goal Jt cannot reach, since formed of dying clay. Would hinder and oppose my striving soul That longs and labors for the better way, And with this foe my spirit must contend Hy prayer and vigil, even to the end. ?Copied from the World's Advanced Thought, bj? Longfellow. Thoroughness.?The world today ha* do room for plodder* with their ''it will do" kind of work ; hut it calls for energetic workers. Those that underntand and appreciate the great value of thoroughne>s The goal to be reached hy man is "only to Kft through," no matter how or the quality of work that is turned off. This is the great reason that so many of our sewing women, our kitchen girls and many of our working people | are failures, l'ney wouw use 10 ofclassed as good workers and demand good wages ; but tbey are not willing to give the time and labor necessary to attain this success. Many people we find are unfit for their obosen work and their places could be filled at an hour's notice. Tbey do your work well only while it I is a novelty. If work is not well done the rapid method employed never rec deems it. "Quickly" is not what we want. "Well and thorougaly" should be our motto. Slip-shod, rushing methods never pay. If we find a person that has had a successful career we will find that the way was paved with hard, close work, and the great desire for accuracy and thoughtfulness. Thoroughness is one of the principal eleraents of success and applies to the highest of work as well as to the smallest routiiiedetailof kitchen work, aud no one need hope for success who j lacks it. There is always room at the , top, and the demand for workers who | are willing and capable is always greater man iue sujipiy. Do you know the Scriptures better tbaD you did a year ago ? You ought to. Have you more places iu the Bible to whicb you go as the bird goes to her retreat ? You ought to. Are there more precious spots in the Bible than there were once? There ought to be. Suppose some one had intrusted me with a great matter, and had given me written instructions as to how to conduct it: and suppose that when I felt like it I went aud read a sentence, and then, after a week, half a dozen sentences. I should have only the most fragmentary knowledge of the instructions. But how many Christians treat the Bible thus !?Hoyt. m m The earliest woman'9 rights convention was held at Seneca Falls, ElizabetkCady Stanton, Frederick Douglass ana Amelia Bloomer, of Bloomer costume fame, being the originators. The ftronnri vrh held at RnuheHter in 1848. And trom these small beginnings the most radical changes of thought and felling about woman and her sphere have gradually come about, changes which only the ultra-conservative can regret, for we have slowly but surely learned that it is not what a woman doef>, but the way in which she does it, that makes her admirable or otherwise.

Gerty had been sick, and was getting well. The days were Ions, she felt cross, and thought she had a hard time. "() mamma! I wish Dick wouldn't sing; he makes mylhead ache, she cried, a? the canary burst forth into a glad son p. "Poor Dick ! You see that he sings, although he is a prisoner," said mamma. Gerty still fretted, so mamma covered Dick's cage with a cloth. The birb did not like this, and for some minutes was silent. Mamma had not covered the cage very closely, and soou the I ird. spying ray a of sunlight, again raised his glad song of thanksgiving. "There, Gerty." said mamma, "is a lesson for you. ' Dick is thankful for one ray of sunlight. Don't you think you should be as grateful for your blessings as birdie is for his?" Gerty raised her face from the pillow, anrt said: "ves, mamma; 1 am ashamed of my crossneps. I will try to look for I he sunbeams."?Helen Sornerville. ? The CliilUren'N Prayer. "Pray God, bles9 my dear papa, mamma, brothers aud sisters, and auntie, and all my relations and friends. "Make me a good little girl. Let me uever be naughty or tell a lie, which is a mean and shameful thing. Make me kind to my nurses and servant*. ami to all poor people. "Let nie never be cruel to any dumb creature; for if I am cruel 'to anything, even to a poor little fly, thou, who art so good, wilt never love me. "Pray God to bless and preserve us all this night and for evermore, though Jesus Christ our Lord. A men." This prayer Charles Dickens wrote for his children, and each one of them was taught to repeat it night and morning as soon as they could speak. It Altered the C'Hue. The late French Senator, Renaud, was an earnest Chistian, and some one tells a good story of his practical application of Christianity to daily life: When Renaud first came to Paris from his home in the Pyrenees, he engaged a room at a hotel aud paid a month's rent?in advance. The proprietor asked him if he would have a receipt. "It is not necessary, replied Renaud. "God witnessed the payment." "Do you believe in God ?" sneered , the host. "Most assuredly," replied Renaud, "don't you?" "Not I, moneieur." "Ah," said the Senator, "In that case, please make me out a receipt!"
