Kind Words, Charity and Pleasant Smiles Should Be Bestowed if You Want Happiness. A pood merchant will count bis moncv and liaiatmo ?aov. .? ?> - ( lose of every clay. It is a Rood pi 11 for everybody to review the day's work end count up the good of it and the bad of it. Give the Lord credit for all the blessings enjoyed, net forg-' tin ' health and food and raiment, sun ;hin utul shower, good neighbors anil y i schools and liberty of conscien i These are capital stock and do .not \ . . much with the passing days. l$u: in eve ry one's daily life and in our iL'i'.y husim ,-s there is a:i ever rhanging ... ititude of little things?little pleasures and little pains and the^c should 1 | footed up and balanced. What g o 1 have I done, what pleasure have 1 *e- ' eeived and given to others today should be a question every night. For as the poet salth: "Count the day lost If the descending sun SCCS from thv hnn.l no itfnrthv n.-tion done." "Lost" is a sad word?one day Inst shortens lifn ihat much, but how many people los. almost every day. No charity. no kind words or pleasant smiles? no sympathy for the poor, but bo along through life for themselves only, or perhaps muttering ihat seltlsh prayer, j "Lord bles me and my wif??my sail John and his wife, us four and no more." I verilj* believe that selfishness is the most universal sin of mankind. How is it possible for a v<iry,ricb man to covet more when thei^e are tlious- i amis near him who live and languish iu misery and want I calnnot under Ik na.i .1 f.ncui 1UOJ WI1U \v ruiu the "Emigrants' Lament'*, and said: "I'm very lonely now.

Thrso niillionaires deserve little eredit for their gifts to colleges and libra- | rios, while the poor are stf*rvingr in the great cities and are penned up in garrets and hovels and earning a scanty living by working for thij* rich. I was ruminating about this when I read that 1 Mr. Iloldorby. the eonaecrhted minister | in Atlanta, was getting u(> Jtn ice fund for the poor.

Education is a good thing and we are gratified at the r< icent move- 1 ments of northern phlLant hropists, i nt 1 a movement to lift up t.l >e poor and : give thorn a chance woul d bo a more blessed tiling than to educate them in books. Peter Cooper and George Peahcvdy have a higher seat in heaven than Rockfcllcr and Camttfii'. will ever, reach. George Pcabody bellt v hole blocks of tenement housf ? in I.ondtn I for the poor. The rooms w ere alt ventilated and supplied with pi re cold water and the windows looket out upon grassy lawns and flowers nnd shade trees. There were bath ro 3ms attached to every tenement, and 1i few pre ry chromos on the walls at d the .cut 1 charged was only a pltti mce?enough , to make repairs and pay tl if taxes. This was doing more for the pc'or than edu- I cation could do. .? > iv-..it mim i .Hid a corns"1 usum iiinuc will lift a boy up quicker than hooks. It has been said that a r ight hungry man can't get religion, ar d I reckon a hungry child can't study to do much good. Education is not al' vays had in the schools. It is the Ufa \ "Ork Ot' ov? ry one. Education comes by contact, by absorption fiom others, h] ' reading and [ thinking, and by experlenc o and observation. Some of the greate *t men in the I'nited States n.ver hi'd a vear'3 schooling; and my own observation has been that not more than ten college hoys 1)i a hundred m ?de good use of their education. They 11 ved and died and made no sign. But fo r the sake ??f the ton we must give tt p ninety a i chance. These northern gt ntlt men who met in Athens seem intensely In o;cnes; and their speeches *.v sre in good teui and in good temper. ludge 1th ley's sp li was the shori est and best of all.

She came up to spend the day and brought her children. Put that down at iwo hundred. A dear sister who lives at College Park is coming to see us tomorrow. That news is worth a credit of lifty. The mail has brought good, cheerful letters from two of the far-away boys. That is worth fifty. A good neighbor sent me some fine tomato nbmts! that Is twonty-llvc; and it is worth twenty-five to look at my strawberry Harden, and 1 look several times a day. A visiting friend said it was worth twenty-five a day to see the long trains go by with their doubt engines. 1 ran sit on my veranda and count the (Mrs, from forty to sixty on every train, an I not strain my mind. Kvcry evening after school is out a dozen or more children rather in my lawns under ih? big oak trees am! play t nnis and hl-ic and seek, and romp and swing, and 't is worth twenty-five to sec tin n so happy.

It was the turn of the Columbia law student who had figured successfully a3 an intercollegiate debater. "True sympathy sometimes crops out where you least expect to see it," he said. "One cold day last December 1 was walking through a greenhouse in Harlem. As I passed down one of the walks near the outside I noticed a little girl with her face Dressed attains* the frosty winodw looking wistfully at the flowers. The gardener's attention being drawn to her, he asked her in. She was crying. dnd the longing way in which she looked at the flowers touched us both. The gardener asked her if she would like very much to have some of them. The look of gratitude that came Into her glistening eyes needed no words of interpretation. He gave her a hunch of carnations freshly cut that j morning. "We both ook an Eighth avenue oar down town. She sat near the door and as the cold wind blew In she would i shake and the fears caused by the cold and her sad erraud came unchecked.

"I had to cave the car at Thirtieth street, and vben I reached the curb 1 noticed tha- she. too, had left the car. ' By that time I was very much interested in her, and decided to follow her and see what she would do. She walked toward tte North river, and then turned down the avenue and stopped before a barker's shop. 1 thought to myself this ij a public place, and I'll go in and set- what is the cause of her sorrow and tc whom she is taking these flowers. She timidly approached the first barber, and between her sobs told hini that she nad brought these flowers .. At. -A. iui max poor man who had died. The ' harbor looked up surprised and said: " 'My child, von have made some mistake." j " No. sir," sae sobbed, '1 want to give ( these ilowers to him." " 'Hut you have made a mistake,' he replied. 'There has been no death j here.' "With the utmost assurance she looked up at him and said, 'Oh. yes. sir. lie did die here. and I want you to give him these flowers.' " 'You must be mistaken.
