The greatest praise bestowed on a business man is not that he has cleared a large amount in his business, that his profits have come in at all seasons and under all circumstances. But such expressions as these are praise indeed : "When I was starting out he helped me much by his advice, but mucn more by his character for kindness, punctuality and strict integrity." In all labor, from making brick without straw to the grandest achievements of greatest men, there is always a i choice place for him who does his work best. Unconsciously his influence is fpit far And wide. It is not confined to his own little circle of friends and acquaintances. That thought is enough to inspire men to do their best in this life. When a great statesman was closing up the work of his life he was asked what was the greatest thought that had ever entered his mind. He said: "My responsibility to God." Next to that is man's responsibility to his fellow man. It is a great thing in mis me 10 oe irue auu uuum auu upright ; it is much greater to so live that others may be influenced to leading grander and nobler and better lives. Activity Better Than Idlenesw. The law "In the sweat of thy face thou shalt eat bread" is not altogether a curse. With our fallen, sinful, restless nature enforced toil is better than * the privilege of spending our time in idipnftss. The latter would increase r our discontent and be a fruitful source of misery to ourselves and others. We feel this constant, unremitting toil to be a hardship and we envy men of leisure, but those who can and do spend their time in seeking pleasure have less real happiness than those who are compelled to work. It may be considered drudgery to have to labor day in and day out for bread for ourselves and families, but it is far more noble than to lounge around trying to eatisfy a restless longing for rest or to be a slave to a morbid crav 1U(J IUI pi&CKU**.. Keep the Heart Pore and Sweet. A single bitter word may disquiet an entire family for a whole day; one surly glance casts a gloom over tbe household, while a smile like a gleam of sunshine, may light up the darkest and weariest hours. Like unexpected flowers which spring up along our path, full of freshness, fragrance and beauty, so kind words and gentle acts and sweet dispositions make glad tbe sacred spot called home. No matter how humble the abode, if it be sweetened with kindness and smiles, the heart will turn lovingly towards it from all the tumults of the world, and home, if it be ever so homely, will be the dearest spot beneath the circuit of the sun. The Divine meaning to be Sought. Divine power is not exercised to do that for which human power is sufficient. God's blessing on tbe field does not do away with the necssity of tilling the soil. It is the dilligent man, not L the slothful, who received the blessiug. / His blessin? on the Church does not take the place of earnest, faithful work on the part of Hie people. It is when they do the work given them so that He sends forth His power and causes the work to prosper. The divine blessing resting on the worldly, idle church would be as hard to find as a good narvest in a field unploughed and unplanted. 4^ ? A Precious Memory. It is an old admonition, but it cannot be too frequently repeated : Do your best at home in dress, manners and spirit. Life is too short to waste its holy hours in criticism, fault-finding and unkind words and acts. Only a few brief years do family circles remain unbroken by the invasion of marriages, removals or death ; and, if our retrospect of the time spent together is to be a precious memory, let its hours be filled with all that is loving and generous and noble. \ Headaches v. County Newspapers. It is remarkable that some men will freely spend the last red cent they have for whiskey, get drunk aud have the headache and feel awful sick, and then swear that they are not able to pay for their county paper. Lots of them do it. True am tiospel.

In a class of sixteen * ; " boys and girls, from six to ten years of h age, the definitions given to "strive to )n_ enter in," "he that is faithful," and ? "fared sumptuously," were so very abrs sured that the teacher could with difticulty restrain the amusement they ' u called forth. The best definition given __ to "fared sumptously" was "had a fine house to live in." ' The Sunday-9chool lessons and songs ncj unmeaniug repetition of words to most of the children, even those from intel 1(^ ligent families. A little girl who atj tended a Sunday-school in the vicinity of the writer asked her mother, upon her return from church, "Doyou think it is nice to sine about bed-clothes at Sunday-school?" "Of course not. f "Why do you ask such a question?" 0, Because, mother, they sang about ck bringing in the sheets [sheaves] this evening", and I thought if the teachers could siug about sheets I could too, so I saug as loud as any of the rest."

In the same way we can say, "blessed )9S is sorrow, for it reveals God's comfort." The floods washed away home and { )e> mill?all the poor man had in the 3 5 world.

Time is the stull* life is made of, says Benjamiu Franklin. Every man has exactly the same amount of it in a year. One improves it and reaps great results Another wastes it and reaps failure. The tirst class they call luckly; the second, unfortunate. The unfortunates form the mass of mankind, it should be noted. To use time aright, have a system. Shape everything to it. Divide the twenty-four hours between work, recreation, sleep, and mental culture, according to a scheme that suits your judgment and circumstances. Then make things go that way. The scheme will quickly go to pieces unless backed by persistent purpose. When you work, work. Put the whole mind and heart iu it. Know nothing else. Do everything the very best. Distance everybody about you. This will not be hard, for the other fellows are not trying much. Master details and difficulties. Be always ready for the next step up. If a bookkeeper, be an expert. If a machinist I* m a ?<*n f K n r? f Vt/> U aoo T f r> n n 4Ti r\ ft LI U W 3 LUUI O IUUU tUC UUflO. 11 uli UlllUC boy. surprise the employer by model work. If in school, go to the head and stay there. All this is easy when tjie habit of conquering takes possession. It is wholesome in this connection to read what men have accomplished who have once learned the art of redeeming the time. Study the causes of the success of Benjamin Franklin, of Lincolu, of Garfield, of Sir Michael Farady, of Agassiz, of Edison. Learn the might of minutes. "Every day is a little life, and our whole life is a day repeated. Those that dare lose a day are dangerously prodigal; those that dare misspend it, desperate." Emerson says "the creation of a thousand forests is in one ncnrn " Sound and wholesome recreation is important in our scheme; but in this age of athletic frenzy the danger of neglect on that line is not excessive. The real fact is that athletic sports are educating the muscles too often at the expense of the brains. It is the mind work that differentiates you from the herd. Mental culture calls for study carefully planned, regular, persistent. One or two hours a day, aiming at some distinct object, mastering what you learn, adding little by little, like a miter to his store, will in a few years make of you a broad, educated man, no matter what your schooling. * To abuse time, have no system. Chance everything. Do your work indifferently. Growl if too much is asked. Huut for an easy job. Change often. Dodge obstacles. Always come ?j 15 H lo atarvrf r\ f flin efonHnr/i n iiuviv auuiu vi iuc ou*uuuiu away in silly thing the few golden moments left for 9elf-culture. Then you will not crowd anybody very hard in the contest for leadership. Time abused i9 bad luck. Trntliful Tommy. "If you won't whistle again for two days Tommy, I'll give you ten cents," said grandma. "Well, I don't, granny," said Tommy, glad to earn ten centB, for he had been saving his pennies and putting them in his little bank, and papa had told him that when he had $5 they would take the money into the savings bank, and have a book made out in Tommy's name. The thought of this made Tommy feel that he was soon to become a very important that a very rich man. He was quiie proud, too, that he had earned most of his money; he had done errands and picked berries, sometimes mamma had paid him for ways in which he had helped her. Only that morning be had counted up his cash and found that he had $4.50 and ten cents more would be quite a help. And what an easy way to'earu it?just to keep from whistliug! All day Tommy played around the house, and grandma wasn'taunoyed by a single whistle, but the next day he was away most of time, playing with a neighbor's little boy. Cln thp mnrnincr nf lhf? fhiril! rlnv grandma said: "Well, Tommy, I haven't heard any whistling for two days. I suppose you are ready for your ten cents." "No, grammy; I've whistled," answered Tommy. "I didn't the first day. but the next day when I was up to Charlie's, I forgot and whistled. He told me not to tell you, and said you'd never know it, but I told him I should tell;*so, grammy, 1 can't have the ten cents." "No you haven't earned the ten cents, Tommy," said grandma, "but 'm so proud of having such a truthful erandson that I'm coinc to give you The ten cents just the same." w In ru Americeiicy. In case of fainting place the body in a horizontal position, with the bend low ; sprinkle cold water on face, neck and chest; loosen the clothing, and expose the patient to fresh air. Camphor or ammonia applied to the nostrils will also prove efficacious, though the latter must be used with caution. Broken limbs should be placed in natural positions, and the patient kept quiet until the arrival of the physician. Cramps in the stomach usually yield to a teaspoonful of ginger, stirred in a half glass of hot water, in which a half tea spoon fuljof soda has been dissolved. Nervous spasms are usually controlled by a little salt taken into the mouth and allowed to dissolve. A patient suffering from sunstroke should be carried into a cool room, and cloths wrune out of cold or ice water armlied te the head. These should be large enough to envelop the whole head and changed often. A bladder (or bag of oiled silk) partially filled with pounded ice and placed on the head is very beneficial. dash cold water freely over face and For apparent death from lightuing, the whole body. Ifthi3does not revive the patient, place the body in a freshly-made opening in the ground, in a half-sitting posture, with his face toward the sun, covering him all over, excepting the head, with fresh earth. For poison by poison oak or ivy, take a haudful of quicklime, dissolve in water, then paint the poisoned part with it. Two or three applications will ordinarily cure the most stubborn case. For stings of insects examine the parts with a magnifying glass, and if the sting is left in the wound, extract in with a small pair of tweezers or a sharp pen-knife. Then apply ammonia camphor, mud, baking soda moistened or even ouiou juice. You should see tbose beautiful silk and wool dress patterns. No two alike. Cheaper than ever known. Haddons.
