"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 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

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 ,

"A promine t Boston business man

was torn down, which coutained about j

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! O certainly they;
1 were horses! The sailor had described r
them perfectly : long heads, pointed c
ears, broad bacKs, rour legs, anu a win.
The}' were to ride upon. Greut chiefs. J
always rode them where the sailors 11
lived. v
So the New Zealand chiefs mounted I
the pigs, and when Capt. Kiug came u
to see how everything was going on, j v
they had ridden them todeath?all but! t
a few obstinate ones, who had eaten up' c
the maize as soon as it grew green, and ;
finished up the beans by way of des-' c
sejrt before the vines were halfway up! L

Capt. King dicl not despair. He took i li
two natives borne with him, taught p
them all about the cultivation of maize; a
and the rearing of pigs; and pork is,o

"SlrnlehteninK Out the Furrows."
CAP'X SAM'S LITTLE SERM0.V TO THE
BOYS.
"Boys," he paid, "I've been trying
every day of my life for the last two
years to straighten out furrows?and
I can't do it!"
One boy turned his head in surprise
toward the captain's neatly kept
place.
"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."

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

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?
"Let me but write the
i hymns of a Church, and I care not
I who compiles its doctrines and disdp- . ..3
I line," is as true as the original maxim
of which ibis is a paraphrase. Some $S
of the weakest, softest* silliest things ,
imaginable are being sung in many of
our churches, and though in most cases
our public congregations are grao*
iou-lv saved so far from this rhyming
froth and tenth-rate munic, yet irreparable
harm is being done to uncoanted
numbers of our young peopleespeoially.
No hymn book should be circulated
in any of our churches without a '-a
warrant from tbe General Conference. . -A
