"Mama, can't I put on my new nu ; en suit this morning?" asked Ws^Je I Glenn, coaxiugly ; "these old thing jare so warm I know I shall roast be I fore night." oi i ' No ; if what you say is true yoi ! had belter stay at home." "And lose my place in the class ?' 1 said Walter, doubtfully. i "Better lose your place than your iself. Auyone who is roasted is not fi j for much but eating." Oh, mama, I didn't mean that; 1 i-j meant I would be very hot." I "Say what you meau, then. Don' "jjstretch the truth even to gain you i-1 point. It is strange the beat never af i tected you till that new suit was finish ^led." >ei Walter shifted uneasily from side t< | side. "I'd better wear it all I can, fo perhaps it wont fit me next summer.' I "Arn'f, you afraid you'll out-grov | the suit you've got on before winter' Perhahs it will be as profitable to wea it, if you are going to save," saiu Mrs Glenn, laughingly. j "Now mamma, don't make fun n" You koow what I want." o "Of couree I know what you want and why don't you ask for it withou ko many pretences. Go, now, and pu g it on." r" "Beearefql of your new suit, ant l, j remember the Golden Rule," werehei li i parting words at the gate. "Yes, mamma," was wafted back, as Waller skipped gaily down ttie roaii. To his lofty imagination such ar injunction was uuneeded. It wao no possible he would think of soiling hi? iihw suit which had no les; j Chun f<>ur pockets iu il, and then wbai would he nave to quarrel about, fo] wasn't he the best drensed boy it school I Led by such thoughts hii coueeit rose higher and higher, unti it covered all his better self. All went well at school. The bovf praised bis clothes, and even the teach er noticed them; so, by the time b< was ready to go home, he was feeling > us if he were a great deal of conse lc quence, aud worthy of more notice e than a common boy. A river lay between the school anc his home. Half a mile above tb< . school a large bridge spanned it, bui I down at the school the people usually crossed on a long piece of square limber which they called a 4,foot-stick.' As Walter was about to step on thij bridge he noticed that George Gereau 8 the son of a man employed by his fa ther, was part way over. He called loudly, "George, go back I want to cross." ! George pretended not to hear, ant continued looking in at the fish whict | were playing id aoa out among m< ! stones. Angered by his indifferent;, Waltei called again, "Go back I tell you." B "Go back yourself," was the surlj reply. "Dis bridge is as much mine e as yours." o "It isn't your bridge," respondec Walter, with more than usual vigor "aud if you don't go back, I'll tell mj failier." "What do I care for your fader? Di: bridge isn't his." I'll show you whose it is, you little Frenchy, if you don't go back." A contemptuous curl of the nose waf his reply. * Enraged at this, and forgetting him >r self entirely, Walter stepped back > picked up a small stone, and tbrew it, b saying at the same time : a "I'll teach you to make faces at me, y you little pea-soup." ? Dodging the stone, George started i- on, and met Walter half way over. 0 Of course neither would give way, and in shilling, both fell into the wai, t^r. Getting wet was, to George only .4 1 - - ?J i .i AAAn,. " a passing (iiversiuu; ue vuuiu cosuj r dry himself in the huu before goiug home, but to Walter it was an unlook?. ed for miafortune. 1 When his dripping, dirty figure appeared at the door, his mother said reproachfully, "Oh, Walter, what have you beeu doing? Ia this the returu J get for lettiug you wear your new suit?" "I couldn't help it, mother, 'l George Gereau pushed me into the water, and I dirtied myself coming up the bauk." '-Why did he push you In?" ! "Because I wanted to go across the foot-atick." "That is strauge. George is not naturally an ill-natured boy." While she took ofl' his wet clothe* and dressed him in the auit ho so much despised in the morning, she coutin ut'd her questions. 'Where, on the bridge, were you wheu George met you?" I "Nearly half-way over." II "Ah. I see. Who was ou the bridge I first?" v "George, but I told him to go back." "Indeed! And he would not?" I said Mrs. Glenn dryly. U "No. He is just a hateful boy. 1 ";jwish pa would send his father away, t,! I never want to see him again." o| "I do not wonder," said Mrs. Glenn, . |"Itis bard to meet those we have L.i wronged." s j "I didn't wrong him. it was he that I was so hatelnl." , I "You tried to steal from him." * j -'Oh mother, you know he hasuoih* inc worth taking, besides I wouldn't steal from an.vb dy." "Indeed. Yet he was on the bridge lf first, and had the right to cross first, ? and you wanted to take it from him." "He is only a little, poor Frencby, anyway." ?J "Poor or not he has rights and you jare bound to respect them, if you are ' Ihonest. Acting*such a mean part has I 1 1, 4 1 if . Uliri you 111IICL1 lliuit! mail ncr, auu 11 I thought my boy would continue k through life thus to insult and misuse I, (lie unfortunate, I would wish 1 had laid him away in the liny silkeu bed f- beside his twin brother." Waller's head dropped lower and lower and the ! tears began to fall. 'm How Mrs. Glenn's heart ached to .hake him in her arms and comfort ' him, for she knew he was feeling very p* i bad over her words. She dared not. ..: The whole story had not yet been told, l.itwi ulia ivialmH liiiti ti\ upp fill* pnol* r> mity of his siu. When she went lo bid him fjoo<l night ut bedtime she found him sobbiug. r- ''Oil! maiiima, mamma," he cried, i. "I've been a very, very naughty boy. I threw a stone at George aud called iiim names. He was not to blame at all, it was all my fault." "I am glad to hear you say it. Jfow you are my owo boy once more," and she comforted him as only a mother can. "It all came from thinking too much 1 " of my new suit, and forgetting my ? promise to keep the Golden Kule," aaid Walter, slowly. "I'm sorry, but ( that won't take the bad deed away and make it right with George." "You can make it all right with , George in the morning, but you cannot take away the bad stain on your soul. Who can?" " "Jeaus," said Walter softly. "Let us ask Him." , r Kneeling together, she asked God , for the sake of His dear Son to for- ] t give Walter's sin and help him iu the : future always to remember the Golden [ Rule. i Next morning, with his mother's | consent, Walter gathered together a ( number of his toys, books and clothes , which he bad outgrown, and put them , in a basket. To these bis mother add- , ed some cakes and apples. When he , r> went to school he called at Gereau'e * n.?*K a^aha/1 t Un , Willi LUC UUDIVCU VICUlgC l/pcucu IUW j door, and was about to close it when ' he saw who was there, but Walter shyly offered him the basket, saying, j ' "I'm sorry I treated you so badly last night. I won't do so again." , ' When he came from school his has- , . ket stood covered at the end of the , bridge. Peeping in, he saw a pretty ( . white rabbit which George had snared ( for him that day. He was pleased to , get the bright eyed pet, and still better j pleased to find George was willing to ( ' forgive and forget. H. Wt (J. l > Oat or Work. A good mau.y people are out of work , ' because they do uot like work. They i l hunt for work, but they are none loo { r anxious to flud it. The less work they j have the better they are suited, pro. vided the pay is liberal. . The world is full of work ; but the , men who are willing to do the work 1 are none too plenty. God put man to work on the soil, that In the sweat of j [ his face he might eat his bread. All , , bread comes from the soil. The earth ( _ feeds the human family. Every pris- , " oner, loafer, bummer, tramp andstriker must be fed from the earth. Some j I one must dig and raise the bread for , them all, or they must starve to death , [ together. And there is plenty of such j r such work to do. There are millions , of acres of soil that have never been subdued, have never felt the touch of ( j the plowshare. But the men who are | out of work, as rule, will uot work on , ' the soil. Better men than they are, , are toiling and digging to get the food . which they must eat. Better men , ' than they are have felled the trees, , j broken the sods, lived in rough cabins, , l and made themselves homes, but they , j will not do such work. They will march, tramp, beg, steal, lie outdoors. ' r commit crimes and go to prisons before { thuv will do the healthiest work on I f the face of the earth and become , strong, faithful, independent, useful , men. Says a daily paper: I "The unemployed of Indianapolis, Tnd., who bad been supported at the ( \ public expense all winter, and who re- ( fused to shovel snow, break stones, or , 3 do anything else but draw their ra- , tions, are now demanding to know , ? wby the work, which was promised ; them in the spring is not forthcom, ing." Such men want work ; but someone , must find it for them, pay them for ( doing it, and take c*re of it when it is 1 done; and it must be easy work, choice ( ' work, and the price they demand, they will beg or steal rathe* than work. ' The BostoD Journal of May 21st, | 1894, gives this fact: "A promine t Boston business man has recently had an experience which L ' has made him a little skeptical in re-j. ' gard to the 'woes of the poor laboring , man.' A part of his plant was recent- { . ly burned. After the fire a chimney j was torn down, which coutained about j (MX) bricks. Many of these would do ; j again after cleaning. "rio when men came along who said j j . they wanted work he said to them : ' "Oh, yes; here is work right here. I'll I, . nive you thirteen cents an hour fori, i z? uMuun I ; ' Cleaning uin-.rvs. , "Upon one day, out of six men who [ came along aud said they wanted work, , , four turned up their noses at the work ? and pay. The other two worked for one hour, then quit and invested their , , earnings in liquor." The Jess food such men get for uoth- j j . ing the better for them and others in j4 the long run. Aud while It is right to; , relieve distress, and deal our bread to to the hungry, and be kiud to the evil and the uuihankful, it is vastly important that we teach such men right- I l fouHiieMB an<i honesty, and faithfully ' i preach to them the gospel of hard j i work. "For even when we were with ? , you, this we command you, that if any i i would not work, neither should be< eat." 2 Thess. iii : 10.?Late Paper. j 1 i t I'Irs us Horics. [ ( 8ixty or seventy years ago New Zeal- j? anders bad never seen a pig or any an-1 c imal larger than a cat. Hut about that f time, one Capt. King, feeling that a i 1 1 nation without pork or beans and sue-1 \ ootash could never come to any good. \ brought them some Indian corn aud ? some beaus, and taught them how to;'J plant and cultivate them, and shortly , u sent them some fine pigs, not doubting 11 iliat they would understand without:1 instruction what to do with them. j t However, the New Zealauders had ; e no idea what tne pigs were sent for, i v aud everybody asked everybody else! i about it, until oue?the smart fellow 1 wboknowsitall?saidthathehadheard f all about them from a sailor, and that; ? they were horses!

L t ho nnlp?i | (; ? | Capt. King dicl not despair.

"Oh, I don't mean that kind lad. r don't mean laud furrows," continued the captain, so soberly that the attention of the boys oecame breathless as he went on : "When I was a lad about the age of you boys I was what they called 'a hard case'; not exactly bad or vicious, but wayward and wild. Well, my clear om motner useu 10 coax, pray md punish?my father was dead, making it all the harder for her, but 3he never got impatient. How iu the world she boro with all my stubborn, vexing ways so patiently will always be to me one of the mysteries of life. I knew it was troubling her, knew it was changing her pretty face, making it look anxious and old. After a while, tiring |of all restraint, I rau away, went off to sea?and a rough Lime I bad of it at first. Still I liked the water, and liked journeying around from place to place. Then I settled ilown to business in a foreign laud, and toon became prosperous, and now began sending her something besides empty letters. And such beautiful letters as she always wrote me during those years of my cruel absence. At length I noticed how longing they [jrew?longing for the presence of th son who used to try her so, and it awoke a corresponding longing in my 3wn heart to go back to the dear waiting soul. "So when I could stand it no longer [ came back, and such a welcome, and juch a surprise ! My mother is not a very old lady, boys, but the first thing I noticed was the whiteness of her uair and the deep furrows on her brow, md I knew I bad blanched that hair to its snowy wnueness ana nau drawn those 1 unes in that smooth forehead. And those are the furrows I've been trying to straighten out. "But last night, while .mother was sleeping in her chair, I sat thinking it ill over, aud looked to see what progress I had made." "Her face was very peaceful and the expression contented as possible, but the furrows were still there! I hadn't ucceeded in straightening them out? ind?I?never?shall!?never ! "When they lay my mother?my fair old sweetheart?in her casket, there will be furrows in her brow ; and I think it a wholesome lesson to teach you, that the neglect you offer your parents' counsel now, aDd the trouble you cause them, will abide, my Jads, it will abide !" "iiut," oroKe in rreaaie noins, with great troubled eyes, "I should think if you're so kind and good now it needn't matter so much !" "Ah, Freddie, my boy," said the quavery voice of the strong man, "you cannot undo the past. You may do much to atone for it, do much to make the rough path smooth, but you can't straighten out the old farrows, my laddies, remember that!" "Guess I'll go and chop some wood mother spoke of; I'd most forgotten." 3aid lively Jim Hollis, in a strangely quiet tone for him. "Yes, and I've some errands to do!" suddenly remembered Billy Bowles. "Touched and taken !" said the kindly captain to himself, as the boys hpftmnpd off. kpwninpr sten in a thought ful, soldier-like way. And Mrs. Bowles declared a fort ight afterwards that Billy was "really getting to be a comfort instead of a pest; guess he was copying the captain, trying to be good to bis maLord bless the dear, good man !" Then Mrs. Hollis meeting the captain about that time, remarked that Jimmy always meant to be a good boy, out he was actually being one. "Guess your stories they like so much must have morals to tliein now ami then," added the gratified mother, with a smile. As Mrs Hollis passed, Cap'n Sam, cvith folded arms and head bent down said softly te himself: "Well I shall be thankful if words of nine will help the dear boys to keep he furrows away from their mother's jrow ; for once there, it is a difficult isk straightening out the furrows."

D. SYMPATHY WITH CHILDBBN. JrM The very first principle necessary as. ; $3 | the foundation of any true science of ;V'*S motherhood is the principle of sympa- .'yj I thy. I mean by this that the motner , must be abls to enter into a real sympa- -} ,r> thy with her children, tfhe must be "\fM ! able to put herself in their place, and must look at things through their eyea. M : Without this it will be impossible for . $= i her to be either just or wise in her training. We teem sometimes to for- J I get that children are human beings; that they do not grow up unto human i beings, but are born such, and as such . j have all the human characteristics. We cau, therefore, judge by our own sensations just how a child would be affected by any given manner of treatment. The common nature is too little recognized. Many people seem to think that : V53 in their bevavior to children accepted standards may be set aside. Children as a class are in a sense helpless and j defeneele**. The power which oon- <fM trols them in absolute. Not infrequently parents and others take advantage JSB j of this absolute power, and treat cml uren wun a discourtesy ana rudeness, with an uukindness, injustice, and an- ::% fairness, that they would be ashamed 10 exhibit toward grown people, and V:&| which, if shown, would be judged ; worthy of general condemnation. | "Do as you would like to be done by,'r , I is a pretty safe ruie. Adults do not '>v$ ; like to be fouud fault with before others; .,;s| ! do not like their peculiarities of face or ':m figure or disposition to be made the subject of remark ; do not like to be everlastingly nagged; do not like $1 harshness, rudeness, impoliteness, rid- V>.s?j icule, injustice", unfairness. It is ] surely a grievous violation of the Goldlen Rule when adults take advun *?? ":'*M of tneir position of authority to.iuflict 'jjg this same unkiud and uucourteoas t --S treatment upon children The great mistake is to judge the child's .-1 conduct from the adult's standpoint. As well might one judge the catter- "?? piilar from the standpoint of the batterfly! But since thfey cannot help being children and we cannot help being adults, things must necessarily go wrong between us an less one or the , other laabletostep into the other'ssboefi. Children manifestly cannot step into our sheos, and there is nothiDg for it, Hvffll therefore, but for us to step into theirs. . //M We must manage somehow to pat oar selves in the child's place and to look at things from the child's standpoint. } The science of motherhood will teach Vila us how to do this. We shall learn to consider, not how any given matter or i event in the lives of our children will affect ourselves, but how it will affect % them.?The Science of Motherhood, - ' j by Mrs. Hannah Whitall Smith. ("Stylus" In N. Y. Advooate.) In view of the mulitude of hymn books which are being published from ; Dau to Beersbeba, and which are be- " ! ing introduced in our Sunday schools ' ; and prayer meetings, is it not time for^. ! for our General Conference to take this" 1 matter up and give it some serious attention?
