Tlie Outcast. cbureli bells were all ringing bright Sabbath morning, and .r tones seemed to hold a more yous sound than usual. And the sun shone warm and clear, and all the people wore a happy? although solemn?look. Then the bell ceased and services began. There were flowers everywhere; all v the air was heavy with their fragrance, tall white lilies stood in their beautiful purity overlooking the smaller bios' som. For 'twas Easter morning?thai morning that should be bright and fail to all. But outside, in the sunshine, the illclothed figure of a girl moved slowly, wearily on. Not for her was the brightness, the sweetness that made all Ml so happy within. A ud, as she shrank nearer the walls of the buildings, sht woudered if she could be the same girl fc-. who had been so happy one year ago. Then she had friends and home ; aud everything had looked so fair to the thoughtless young girl. For it was thoughtlessness, and not wickedness that caused the little indiscreet act K?. in which there really was no wrong. But the stern, hard father, stitling the voice within, which whispered "mercy'' angrily thrust her out, aud left her in the unsympathi/.ing world to battle alone. Who was to blame, then, when she did wrong? who g? would have to answer for the wronged girl's soul, and for the death of the ;.*E, dear loving mother, who could not live under the blow? W Who, when the last day comes, and the great Judge is deciding all questions for eternity, will be pronounced the guilty one? So, on she went in the sunlight, and something seemed to draw the tired tnmo i./l ihu ohiiwli nprlijins h JCTTL lUn?IU wuv vuu> v>>i x?' ? stirring of the old feelings which were, that morning, so strong as the poor shattered body was weak, made hei step timidly inside the door, and drop onto a seat. Out on the air rang the glorious anthem "Christ is risen ! Chist is risen!" and she listened breathlessly as the grand tones of the pipe organ swelled through the building, and the choir sang on. Then the gray-haired minister rose and told sweetly and simply the story of the Christ child. Surely the Divine Spirit was prompting him what to say, and with touching pathos he treated of the life of the Saviour. To the weary outcast on the back seat the words came like balm. "Even for me," she murmured, and the poor tired head sank back against the wall, and the troubled life went out with that last sigh. So there they found her, when the service was over, a peaceful smile on the worn young face. Thev eazed with Ditvinir eves on the pale features, and laid lier" away iu a pauper's grave. But the soul went upward, and there, by the side ol the pitying Christ, who sees all struggles and knows the heart, with her sins blotted out, and the torn, soiled garments changed for spotless ones, she is at rest. Bertha May Bkmis, Deerfield, Michigan. Three (iood BiinIiicnm Hints. Lloyd's Commercial (luide gives the following advice to its readers : Never sign a paper without reading it; and if, after reading, you do not understand it. have it thoroughly ex plained before you put a signature to it. It is best to get some third person who is not interested in the matter at all. to explain the meaning of what is not clear, or point out words that may have two meanings in the document. Always make a memorandum in your little book of any contract you undertake for money or any agreement to work. It saves much trouble to keep a memorandum book and put down the dates you either pay or receive money. Whenever money passes on account, set it down. If any money ?r thing of value passes through your hands, give a receipt for it, and make a memorandum. Your receipt settles the amount that passes, and that cannot be disputed. When you pass it to a third party, get a receipt and keep it. This form is as important in the transfer of income, trust money or valuables among your own family as with other persous. Never allow a third person to do any service for you without first agreeing upon the cost to you. This rule, strictly adhered to, will save you many annoyances. The Hard. Hard Iron. "I shall make it give in yet," said ine axe, ana neaveu a mi^uiy uiow ai the iron. But with each blow its edge became bluuter, aud presently it had to leave off*. "Let me try," said the saw ; and persistently it worked with its iron teeth upon the surface of the iron. Hut at length its teeth were completely worn out. "Ho! Ho," cried the hammer; "I knew that was no go ! Now you shall see how I shall do it." But with the first blow the head flew ofl' the shaft, and the iron remained just as before. "May I try?" said a hot little llame All the rest laughed at the fire ; but it curled itself tightly round the iron, nor did it desist until it was thoroughly melted under the irresistibly melting influence. There are hearts upon which the most violent anger makes no impression ; who will not yield to the most malicious persecution or the fiercest hate or scorn, while the evil rebounds upon the perpetrators. Rnf there is a nower stronger that) they. It would be bard to firfd a heart bo hard that could in the long run resist constant kindness. "Do you suppose," said Johnnie, as his little cousin laid away her largest, t rosiest apple for a sick girl, "that God cares about such little things as we do V He is too busy taking care of the big folks to notice us much." Winnie shook her head and pointed to mamma, who had just lifted the baby from his crib- "Do you think," said Winnie, "that mamma is so busy with the big folks that she forgets the little ones? fshe thinks of the baby first, 'cause he's the littlest. Surely God knows how to love as well as mother.' Madame Adam, well-known as editor of the Parisian Novelle Ilevue, insists that the musicals that have of late years become so popular in the French capital have materially injured conversation. .She intends to gather about her the thirty or forty women still in Paris who, in her opinion, can converse, and, in accordance with this design, has her cards to receptions and at homes inscribed with the words "to talk," instead of with the words stereotyped "music" or "dancing."

Often this is the reason tbey * il to give satisfaction when they W ach full growth. If these trees ap;ar healthy, and yet make no growth, w ;ry likely it is because they are jngry for fresh plaut food and need m be manured. ? The benefits of subsoiling are now sing recognized by farmers generally, i? it the poin is not sufficiently empha- sc sed that it is best to subsoil only in ie early fall. To attempt the work lis spring will, in most cases, result ? ^satisfactorily. Of course.it depends mewhat upon the soil, but experience a ' date decidedly favors fall subsoiling. J It is very important, not only that 4 1 tbe stable manure made on the 4 rm shall be used, but that it shall be J jt where it will do the greatest good. J [ost farmers who grow hoed crops J rgely use a great deal of manure on r leir corn and potato ground.

"Barbarism, ray boy," answered the d man, "is killing your enemy with J hatchet at a distance of a step, and vilization is killing him with a bomblell 12 miles away!" This cynical answer applies well lough, without doubt, to the differice between civilized warfare and bi lat of a period when the world was ss advanced than now, but the cometest civilization looks toward the jolition ol warfare forever.
