A Unique of Society.
"Well r et, Bob, come with me,
I was just thiiiking of you, and
wishing that I would meet you."
"But I can't comie now, Josepll,
I promised Ned ann Ton to meet
them at the bridge at io o'clock."
'Yes, but I want you worse than
they do. What are you going to
do at the bridge, Bob?"
"Oh, you are such a 'gooddie'
that you would be shocked if I
should tell you, Joseph."
"I'll tell you what I'll do, Bob,
I will go with you to the bridge to
meet Ned and Tom if you all will
come back with ie."
"But they don't wvant you, Jo
seph, we could not do what we in
tended to if you was with us, so
you had better let me go by my
self."
"Well if you won't let me go
I'll tell you what I wanted with
you-and Ned and Tom too if they
will come-several of the boys are
going to meet around at my home
at one o'lock and I wanted you es
pecially to collie."
"Now, that is good of you, Jo
sephi, I would not dare ask the
boys to my house because they
would not let me."
"I have a room to my self, Bob,
and may ask whom I please, so we
behave ourselves. And now promise
me that you will conime."
",Well, I don't know," said Bob.
Joseph left him and Bob went oil
to the bridge. Ned and Tom were
waiting for him.
"What's up, Bob? You never
kept us waiting before," said both
of them at once.
"I ilet one of the boys and stop
ped to talk to him," said Bob.
"Come on now or we will be too
late, boys," cried Ned. "I-t's
about time for the old ian to comie
along, and if we don't hurry he
will catch us, I have the twine all
ready, imyl but won't lie yell."
"Say, boys, I kinder think-I
believ-'-" stammered Bob.
"Oh, what's the natt - with
you, Bob, I did not know oefore
that you was 'chickenhearted." '
"Neither am I, boys, but since I
collie to think of it, it would be
mean in us to hurt the old nan,
just for us to laugh at."
"He'll never know who stretched
the twine across the bridge, and
w'll not see it until lie falls-lhe
can't see very well anyhow-and
we wvill be hid and see the fun,''
ha! ha! ! laughed Tom.
"WXell, boys, you can do it if you
wanlt to, but I wvill not help,'' said
Bob1, tuirinig arounid and walkinig
away.
''What's got iinto Bob do you
reckon, Ned, I never saw him like
that before, lie was always ready
for any mischlief,'" said Trom.
"W\ell come on and let us fix the
string, my! but we are too late this
time for I see the old chap com
ing,'' so they walked in the oppo
site direction as innocently as if
they had not thought of hurting a
poor old man.
At one o'clock the boys began to
arrive at Joseph's room, but Bob
did not come. The usual crowd
had gathered and they wvere about
to begin their reading when some
one came timidly ini at the door.
Joseph 'glanicing uip saw him and
stepping forward, grasped himi by
the hland, saying, "w~elcome, Bob.
I am so glad you came. Boys, this
is Bob Flemming amid he will here
after be one of our numiber, won't
you Bob?"
"'I don't know what you are driv
ing at, Joseph, so I can't promise,"
said Bob.
"Conic in and see for yoursef
then we will have your answer,"
said Joseph.
After all were seated, John, one
of the largest boys, wvent forward
and turned around so as to face the
crowd and began to read from the
first chapter of St. John: ''And
looking upon Jesus as he walked lie
saith, behold the Lamb of God!
And the t no disciples hleard him
speak, and they followved Jesus * *
They said unto him, Master where
dIwellest thou? He saith unto them.
Come and see * * One of the two
which followed him was Andrew,
Simon Peter's brother. HeI first
findeth his brother Simon * * and
he brought him to Jesus. The day
following Jesus wvould go forth into
Gallihee and findeth Philip and
saIth unto him, follow me. Philipn
findeth Nathanael and said unto
him, we have found Jesus of Naza
reth. And Nathannel said unto
him can any good thing come out
of Nazareth? Philip said unto him,
come and see." After the reading
John said "we have read this spe
cial selection for the benefit of our
nev member, as it explains why we
have met this afternoon. Our motto
is, '1c findeth his brother and say
eth unto him, come and see.' We
meet here at one o'clock each Sab
bath and read a portion of the Bible
and talk about it. Each boy tries
to get some other boy to come and
see for himself, and we are gl-d for
others to join us and take part in
our readings. We hope in this way
to get more familiar with the
Scriptures and persuade other boys
to !,pend an hour with us that would
otherwise be spent in nischief.''
Bob took this last to himself, and
lie resolved then and there to at
tend regularly and to try to get
Ned and Tom to coine. Nothing
was required of him, but to come
and listen to others read, unless lie
wanted to read some particular
passage himself, then lie would
make it known, and some day
would be appointed to hear him
read.
''I wonder what's become of
Bob, I never see him now-a-days,"
said Ned oue Sabbath a week or
two later.
"Oh! yonder he comes now,"
said Tom.
"Why, old boy, where have you
been and where are you going
now?'' both of the boys asked to
gether.
"Come and see," said Bob.
So both of them went with Bob,
and they, too, became members of
th. Unique Society. In this way
the number increased, and after
awhile they went to Sabbath School
and most of them became members
of the church and made good, use
ful citizens.
Her Little Boy.
"Always a !ittle boy, to her,"
No niatter how old lie's grown.
Her eyes are blind to the strands of gray,
8he s deaf to his manly tone;
His voice is the same as the day lie
asked;
"What makes the old cat purr?"
Ever and ever lie's just the same
A little boy to her.
"Always a little boy, to her."
She heeds not the lines of care
That furrow his face--to her it is still
As it was ini his boyhood, fair.
His hopes and his joys are as dear to hier
As they were in his small boy days.
lie never changes to her--he's still
"My little boy," she says.
"Always a little boy, to tier."
And to him shte's the mother fair,
With the laughing eyes and the cheering
smile
Of the boyhood days back there;
Back there, somiewhere in the midst of
years--.
Back there with thn childish joy.
And to tier he is never the man we see.
But always "her little boy."
"Always a little boy, to tier."
The ceaseless march of the years
Goes rapidly by, but its drumibeats die
Ere ever they reach tier ears.
The smile that she sees is the smile of
youth,
The wrinkles are dhimiples of joy,
His hair, with its gray, is assunny as May,
Hie is always "her little boy."

Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and diistress from tortured muscles, aching
.loints anti excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation of
waste matter in the system, andi can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain'
mug food they require. The whole system
feels the effect of this acid poison ; and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to a healthy condition will
the aches and pains ocase.
Mrs. James Kell, of 707 NInth street1 N. 1g.,

I met him on a street corner-a
bright, black-eyed lad of periaps
fourteen summers. I had seen him
there evening after evening and
wondered if there was no one who
knew the temptation he encoun
tered.
I made friends with him, and
won his confidence. Then I ques
tioned him kindly in regard to his
spending so much time in the
street.
"I know," he said, looking up
at ine in such a frank, winning way
that I could not, help thinking
what a noble man he might make,
"the street is not the best place for
a boy, but you see there is no place
for me at home."
I was surprised and pained at the
answer. "[How is that?" I asked.
"W\ell, I have twvo grown-up
sisters and they entertain company
in the parlor every evening. They1
give me to understand I'm a third
party and not wanted. Then papa
is always tired and he dozes in the
it'ing room and does not like to be
disturbed.'
"It's pretty lonesome you see, so
I come down here. It was not al
wvays so," he wvent on. "Before
grandma died I always wvent up to
her room and had a jolly time.
Grandma always liked boys."
There was a quaver ink the voice
now that told of a sorrow that time
had not y'et healed.
"But your mother?" I suggested.
"O0, mama! she is only a reform
er and has no time to spend with
mue. She is always visiting the
prisons and work houses trying to
reform the men or writing atrticles
on how to save the boys.''
"'And her own boy is in danger."
"Yes, I am not half as good as I
was before grandma died. I am
getting rough, I am afraid. There
does not seem to be any one to take
an interest in me, so it does not
much matter.''
It was bad, bitter truth, and yet
I knew that,this was not the only
boy wvho needed a wvise, gen'tle hand
to guide him through the danger
ous period.
O mothers! are you blind that
you can not see the danger of your
own, but look for that of others?
Make home the brightest place
0o) earth for your children. Take
an interest in their sports, make
yourselves young for their sakes,
and then you can feel that you
have done your whole duty.
I think the saddest, most hope
less thing I ever heard from a boy's
lips was that sentence: "There is
no place for mue at home." God
forgive that mother and open her
eyes before it is too late, and help
other mothers to heed the warning I
Howv is It mothers? Are your
boys in danger? Think of this,
ponder over it, pray over it.

Trying.
An engineer on a railway in the
South had charge of a train the
two forward cars of which were
rilled with prisoners. \Vhen they
stopped at a station he got ofT for
his dinner. In the meantime the
prisoners overpowered thei guards,
one of them climbed into the en
gine, and when the engineer glanced
up from his meal, he saw it steam
ing out and away across the valley,
the train behind it. With a cry of
dlismay, lie rushed out and chased
it on foot. The crowd at the station
shouted with laughter at the hope
less pursuit.
"Do you expect to reach it?"
they cried.
"I'll try," he thought, as he
panted on.
At the foot of the hill he found
:i handcar on a siding, and jump
ing on, made his way to the next
station. There was a detached en
gine with steam up. He boarded
it, and continued the chase. In an
hour he actually overtook his train.
IHI saw his duty and followed iL,
no matter how feeble he was, or
hopless of success.
Here is a lesson for the faint
hearted ; you never know what you
can (1o till you try. "'I'll try,''
has done wonders. WVI.en difti

tries may suicceed ; he takes all thie

use,"' lets them slip.-Treasure
