When Ht.e mipleaaant tilings in life Come Socking round our way. The weaklings try to leave the strife Until "torn, other day," While brave U, with undaunted front. Meet them as they appear. And face them out, and bear the brunt Without a show of fear. Take trouble when it shows it head. And crush it at one blow ; Don t give it time to thrive and sprsati. X jt one houi older grow ; Bui fsce it, kill it at it I.irji. Without a stop or stay, Tne moet iatlaciou thing on earth Is that '-Some other day." We never pui our pleasures off As they come passing by ; At half our troubles we could scoff If e would only try, Whea pkatcre come or troubles rise Mett ihtm the selfsame way ; Take them when here, If you are wise. And not "some other day." SHINING LIGHTS. If there id any thing that does make me fairly Firk, it is to see girls who gave fair promise of developing a noble intel k'tl, dropping down to mere douitslic Mints the uioment they are under the control of a uifin." Miss Helen Ferguson's finely-chiseled nose and daintily curved lips executed s surb sneer, aud Mrs. Hunt, w ho was knitting socks fur a ucwly arsived mem ber of tke great human family, looked up with a Einiie. "Some must run the domestic affaire, Helen," she eaid quietly, "while the others attend the great public duties." "Oh, it is all very well for you to laugh at me, Aunt Lizzie," Helen said, "but the fact remains there are plenty of wo men of average intelligence quite capable of making puddings, and running do mestic aflairs. But when a woman like Amabel Lowry can sit for one mortal hour saying 'cutchycon didsy-widy' to a little pink idiot of six weeks, I a va dis gusted." "Oh ! You have been to see Amabel," said Mrs. II ant. "Do you think these socks will lit her baby ?" "I am sure, I ' can not tell ! I did not examine the proportions of itit iuU-re-t- Ing young man's feet ! ' exclaimed Helen loftily. A soft little laugh from her aunt an swered her. "Your time will come, my dear," she said. "Sever, Chauncey does not expect it. He understands that marriage between ui is a union of souls devoted to lofty aimes, of minds eager to obtain and util ize knowledge, and be will never expect me to sink down to the level if t do mestic drudge." "How about hearts in the anion you epeak of!" asked Mrs. Hunt. "Rubbish !" said Miss Helen. "We are not a pair of love sick idiots." ' She sailed out of the room as she spoke her head well np, chin out, and should ers set back squarely. A gaunt-raw bon ed old maid ef forty ? Xot a bit of it. A delicious maiden of nineteen, not too tall, gracefully slender, but well rounded, with a beautiful face, large, liquid-brown eves, a profusion of chestnut hair, and dimples that were simply distracting. A Yassar girl, who had graduated with such honor as prot ed that the lovely head held brain above the average capaci ty. Mrs. Hunt laughed aain when she was alone. "Wb at a dear, absurd darling she is 1" she thought "And Chauncey is just a match for her." This was fortunate, as Chauncey Browne was the promised husband of Helen Ferguson. He was a enthusiast. Having unfortunately Inherited a lare fortune, he Lad no need to exert a really floe mind, a well cultivated Intellect, in any useful channel, and he took np vari ous and sundry "causes" and threw bis whole soul into thetn while the fever lasted. Absolutely devoted to each other, this original pair of lovers prided themselves upon a philosophical contempt of any such nonsense as love. Xot once in their dignified courting had Chauncey Browne descended to a compliment ; not once had be given Helen a caress beyond a regula tion kiss at meeting and parting a kiss so strictly conventional that they would have exchanged it with as much cool ness in a crowded ball-room as in the privacy of Mrs. Hunt's cozy parlor. Tbey never talked of their future home of the bower of love and happiness that makes the Eden of most love-dreams. They conversed upon loftier topics their work together, the noble aims they were to persue hand in hand, the philanthro pic schemes they were to make realities. It was really bewildering to listen and to look ; to hear such lofty senti men ta, to see such young, beatiful faces, soft tender eyes, intended to convey love's messages, kindling with fiery enthusiasm over a "Cause" with an immense C. Helen was an orphan, with a small in come of her own, and her aunt's love and wealth gave her a luxurious home. She had no duties in the home circle. Mrs. Hurt managed her own household affairs, and being in perfect health and full of energy, did not call upon Helen for any service, content to see her happy in her own way, careful only to see that her way never led her out of the con fines of womanly propriety. She went with her to the lectures on "First Aid to the Injured;" she attended the "Wo man's Temperance Mission," on the reg ular meeting evenings ; she contributed to the "Flower Mission," the "Working Art Class," the "Beauty for the Masses" lectures. Wherever Helen's radiant lovely face was seen, Mrs. Hunt's more matured lieauty was also to be found. And how Helen worked! She gave a weekly lecture to the "Art Class" and hunted np all her authorities in the pub lic libraries, reading all her manuscript to Chauncey, and accepting his criticism and suggestions, as it seemed good to her, not with any lavish submission of the femining to the masculine in intellect. She visited friends for subscriptions to all her undertakings ; she took th ecorre epondenceof the "Temperance Mission" into her own hands, and gave herself no rest. But for Mrs- Hunt, it is appa'ling to imagine the garbs she wou'd have as sumed in sheer, unaffected mdiffere ace to anything so trifling as dress. Bat Mrs. Hant, in her quiet, gentls way, saw that she was fitly and becomingly attired; and Janet, her maid, wss too proud of the young mistress's beauty to neglect its adornment. The wedding day wai appointed ; the inn LilCl SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1892. calm, rational courtship flowed on in its even channels. Together Chauncey and Helen attended to their various public duties, while Mrs. Hunt superintended the preparations of the trousseau, invited the guests, ajid looked about for a suita ble boarding-boase, as Helen refused to li ten to house-keeping. But one evening, when the wedding was but two weeks distant, Chauncy came in an hocr too early for the "Missionary Meeting" and after a hurried word of greeting to Mrs. Hunt, rushed oa to Helen, who was calmly copy insr a "Treas urer's Report" in the back parlor. "Helen," he said, "I have terrible news for you. Put away your papers for a moment. Oh, he cried, his voice quiv tiring with pain, "how can I give you np? My darling? My darling!" Xo wonder she was startled. "Give me op?-' she said, turning very pale. "I must dear. I have lost everything ! I have nothing left to offer you, Helen, but a little house aud five hundred dot lars a year my mother left me. My fath er's fortune is gone in the 'Corn & Oats Bank' failure. I uiuit work now, dear, though I have no knowledge. Heaven help me, of any money-making art. And my wife mutt keep my little house, and help me live honestly by economy and honse-wifely skill V Helen was close beside him. Her col or had come back to her round cheek. her eyes were full of a soft, tender glow Chauncey had never seen before. "I will still be that w ife," she said, and her voice had no hard ring, but was gen tle aud caressing. "1 will keep your li'.tle house, Chauncey, and help you live honestly." "My ftwa, my treasure, I cannot ask so great a sacrifice. We have played in difference, dearest love, but now, when we must part, let me tell you once how I love you, my life's blessing, my dear est!" "Vou cannot give me np. It would break my heart, Chauncey. I cannot live without your love." "Pretty wsll for philosopher !" thought Mrs. Hunt. "I knew their hearts were in the right place in spite of their non sense. Sbs knitted quietly, listening to the talk so near to her, and now and again wiping her eyes. After a time they came into her, making their confessions, as blusbingly as if newly betrothed. The wedding came off at the appointed time, Chauncey having bad an oCer of a position in a large wholesale business. Xot even Helen knew how much of the liberal salary came out of Mrs. Hunt's in come, or how largely her influence with an uncle controlled the offer. But the same energy that Chauncey had thrown into a "Cause" hs threw into his busi ness, mastering the routine of duty, stud icg stock, figures, 'prafits and contingen cies with fervor and enthusiasm and corning borne to the little Louse, thor oughly weary, and ready for Helen's gentle sympathy and petting. Yes, pet ting. Xot the weakeat-minded woman of Helen's acquaintance more systemati cally spoiled her husband. His slippers and dressing-gown were always ready, his dinner carefully cook ed and served, and Helen ever ready to talk, if he was not tired, or to caress and soothe him if he was weary. Out of her own corps of efllcient ser vants Mrs. HunJ had spared a "treasure'' to her niece, so that the actual drudgery of the house was spared her ; but just as carefully as she had conducted the affairs of her mission and societies, just so efficient did Helen manage the limited income, studying to combine comfort with economy, and avoid waste, while providing liberally. She did not drop all her outside da lie, but home was first with her. Two years after the wedding day Mrs. Hant enterea a sitting room where Hel en, in a low rocking chair, was nursings tiny mite of a baby. UI was afraid you were not well," Mrs. Hunt said. "You were not at tbe ball last evening to hear Mr. Jordan ! Such a splendid lecture! I am sorry you miss ed it!" "Baby was not well," said Helen. "There! there, donteeky, mamma's own precious! I think she is teething Hash, hush, tootsey-wootsey ! Cliauncey says I humor her too much, but auntie, how can I help petting my own baby?" "Don't try, dear. All my darlings have gne before me to the better land, and my greatest comfort, my deepest happi ness, is to know that all a mother's love could give them was theirs while I bad them. I would not recall one kiss, one word of love. "Aunt Lizzie !" This was after a long silence. "Yes, dear." "What a horrid little fool I was!" When I stack np my conceited nose at the womanly woman, and tried to be a manly one. When I talked as if Chaun cey was merely a fellow-worker in a "Cause," while I loved him better than my life. When I did not see that while women may do noble work in public a u ties, may use their brains for tbe bene fit of humanity at large, the happier ones, if not the most osefu!, and those who use their brains aad bands to make home life cheerful, to train to Gl's sen ice the tender young souls committed to their charge, and keep from temptation the little feet tbey are permitted to guide." "I never thought you were a fool, Hel en. The work you did was noble work, and there are many who will perform it faithfully and well, having no other du ties to distract them. Bat I am glad yon realize that a woman can give her no blest aspirations, her truest wisdom to home, husband and children, and is not an idiot, even if she spends hoars talk- icg baby nonsense to her baby." "Do you hear that Miss Lizzie Mamma can call you toosy-wootsey, precijus pet, and sing Mother Goose to you now with a clear conscience." And just then Chauncey Brown, ex president, ex-treasurer, ex-librarian, ex secretary to a dozen causes, the calm self possetsed lover, the energetic business man, entered hastily, asking : "Is papa's pretty puppet better, and is its horrid old toothy pegs done aching ? Oh, Aunt Lizzie, pardon me. I did not sea you." "You are forgiven. I will leave yon to comfort the what is it, Helen? little idiot?" "Xow, Aunt Lizzie !" protested Helen. "Well, the future president of the Woman's Emancipation frern the Tyran seiL On tq E8TABLISHK1) 1827. ny Man Society," then. Good-bye dears. Be sure you train that youthful maiden's mind to be a shining light in the future to her misguided sisters who prefer to be good wives and mothers." Your Eyes and Brows. Of coarse, my dear girls, you want your eyes to look clear and bright, and brows to be well shaped. About your eyes: They will never be clear unless your digestion is in good order, and they will never be bright unle you have made up your mind to give happiness to some one else, and then it is reflected in them. As to your eyebrows : If they have an aggressive way o." standing np, and do not shape themselves well, just dip your finger ia the vaseline every night, press them down to place, making them shape the desired curve. If they are very heavy, brush them with a tiny soft brush, but do not, under any consid eration, permit anybody to induce you to cut them, for they will only grow in thick, atiffand ugly. If, throrjgh some accident, you have an absolute lack of eyebrows, I do recommend one simple deception, and that is the soft eyebrow pencil, which may be gotten in any col or, only coats ten cents, aad yet drawn cleverly over tho brows, or the place where the brows ought to be, will give tbe expression to your face that was there when the brows, had not disap peared. By the by, I wish that none of my girls would ask me about depilato ries. I think all of them mora or leaj in jurious, and when the use of them is once commenced it hag to be kept up. If you do what is right, it ii going to look out straight from your eyes and '.ell the story to all the world ; it is going to make them beautiful, bright wells of thought ; it is goinf to make, in reality, the win dows of the soul of the soul that is good and pure. For my beauty training I rec ommend nothing that will do any harm ; but there is plenty of time in life plen ty of time between working hours for the girl to take care of herself, and to make herself lovely, and that is what I want all my girls to do. I want them to be full of love in their hearts, and I want this love to speak out in the loveliness of their faces. Home Journal. Railways Instead of Roads. The road-wagons and short-lived top buggies and carriages of the farmer cost him a very pretty penny in the course of a year, or a term of years, and they rep resent a service which th electric rail road can largely abolish. But against this savicg must of course be set tbe cost of the railroad, the electric-power station, the rent of electric wagons, and operat ing expenses. What would be the amount? An accurate estimate cannot ol course be mad here,' becatue condi tions differ so widely in different sections of tbe country ; but as close a calculation as we can make in advance, founded on the cost of the electric railroads already in operation, warrants ns in saying that probably 90 per cent, of the roadwaya in the United States could ba equipped with necessary tracks, poles and wires at a cost of $ !,500 per mile. In a district 10 miles square the sur face that could be served from a single central power-station there would be, in the larger part of the Union, about 100 miles of railway. Then the total cost of track for a district 10 mile square would be f 150,000. This represents a capitali- zit on of only $5 to the acre, and an an nual interest charge of 30 cents per acre. With a central power 6tation large enough to operate all the wagons or cars that would be called into use at onetime in the district, the capitalization need not be more than (10 per acre. This would mean an annual interest charge of ?G0 for each 100 acres of land. It must be conceded that this does not seem like a very heavy tax when we consider the nature of the service rend ered available, the great saving in the cost and maintenance of horses and w ag ons, the enormous economy of time, and the greatly enhanced value of improved farm lands. If the interest charge amounted to $100 per year, and the farm ers were themselves chiefly the stock holders of the electric companies, it would still represent an economy. En- gingering M'lgnzine. Judicious Reading:. Almost any one who thinks a moment upon bis literary tastes, and the manner in which he has gratified them will be astonished at the vast amount of reading he has done ; an 1, if he read hastily, he w'il be surprised at the little thought he has given to bis mental food. Too much attention cannot be given to entertaining and instructive litera ture. From books a man may learn hat the closest observers and the ablest thinkers in all past aes have learned only by painful experience and thought, he may learn what the most phenome nal geniuses of the lat century never dreamed of. Or, if his tastes lie in a dif ferent direction, he may find in books and newspapers entertain;, spirited com panions, illumining life with beauty, ro mance, wit and sympathy. The nature, science and his'ory of a man's occupation may be shown him by the characters which tbe metal types have stamped on paper. By a judicious course of reading the professional man (he man in public life, the journalist, the scientist, the merchant, -the mechanic, the farmer, in brief, any worker in any field may gather stores of knowledge, which will be of tlie most immediate and practical value to him. Philosophical Cogitations. So many silly sheep go to wolves for protection. The man who amounts to the most took the least time to hope. Every man's definition of happiness is description of the life of his neighbor. Xo on will take advice, bat every one who makes a mistake complains because none was given him. Hindsight is like looking through a microscope at something' we looked at through a telescope before it happened. Every man who takes part in yoar pro cession expects in return that yoa will some day blow a horn in the band in his procession. People are too much inclined to wait until sosaething pleases them before they laugh, and to cry without waiting for something to cry about Mother's Patience. Was there ever anything so exhauat- less as a mother's patience? The pretty baby cries and squirms about just when everything is being done for its comfort, yet she does not, as an outsider feels like doing, give it an emphatic little shake or a pat that might be called a slap if be stowed by another. Xo, she bears with it sings to it, murmurs sweet words into the unheeding ears and would think anyone utter'y ridiculous who saw anything re markable in her increasing goodness. It must le a pa t of motherhood, for it comes to the very youag parent as well as to the woman who has raised many children before the last vexatious atom appeared. The society girl who looked positively aghast when a baby was brought in for her inspection and would leave a car if any small creature commenced to cry, takes her own baby as though brought up to the situation from childhood. She does not get excited or ill-temred when he wriggles and squirms, cries or kicks. She has learned the jargon of the nursery and whispers and sings to the tearful baby until the cries cease and the little ir responsible bit of loveliness decides that he was sleepy and cuddles dow n content edly in its mothers 's arms that bad been waiting patiently for this result all along. She will rise ten times in a night without one murmur, even when eyes are heavy with aieep and weary limbs would so much enj jy repose. It ii to be regretted that fathers a a rule do not possess an un limited supply of patience, and growl fre quently at the demands of the latest arri val in the family fatherhood is not mother-hood by a great deal. With the latter comes that irreat well spring of love in which abides an enduring patience that to an outsider seems positively an gelic. Take the Sunny Side of Life. Xever relinquish the great object of your ambition, whatever it may be. Let it be, more or lee distinctly, ever pre sent in your mind. Let it exert a control ling influence over all your actions. In the first place, have some definite aim to your life game distinct and leading ob ject of your ambition and be ambitious to accomplish it. An aimless, objectless life is a dull and dreary, waste. It lacks stimulus and piquancy and zest and en joyment In choosing an object of am bition choose a worthy one, in behalf of which all your strength, your higher and nobler faculties of your nature, may be- enlisted. Have an aim that you may un- blushiugly aud proudly exhibit to the light of day, and for which you may safely challenge the respect of all. Then pursue it earnestly and steadfastly. Xo matter what discouragemants assail you or place themselves in your way, keep right on in the pursuit of your knowl edge. If your progress be slow, still per severe and make it sure. Do sorrows come to you ? They come to all. The continued adherence to the great plan of usefulness which you have laid out will do as much as anylli ing to brighten your path even when grief and gloom over shadow it Press oc, through good or f.vil report, throuxa darkness or through sunshine, amid storms or under peaceful skies still press on, and never relin quish the great object of your ambition. Oire- a JfVi. Only a Coup. The two souls w ith hot a single thought and hearts that beat as cue, had been iu executive session In the front parlor since 9 o'clock, and it was now verging on the witching hour of 12. Possibly it was the fiction of imagina tion, but it seemed to Harold as if a large body stirred uneasily in the room above theirs. Harold w as not an athletic young man, and he listened in great consterna tion for a confirmation of hia fears. It came. The large body fell over a chair and swore. " Latitia !" called a voice which Har old instinctively associated with the movements and the profanity overhead. " Yes, papa." The brave girl strove not ta betray in her voice the f;u.-t, patent to the most cas ual observer, that she was almost scared to death. " Is that fellow here yet?" demanded the voice. "Yes, papa." Harold felt himself to be the individu al to whom refeience was made. He shrank from the publicity. He looked sick at heart and deeply agitated. " When is he going?" With a wild look in his eye the lover sprang forward and seized his hat "Right now, sir," be hnrriedly exclaim ed, "right now." An ejaculation of impatience waa waft- el down the stair. " I say," the voice waa louder now, when is he going" "Directly, sir; directly. Xo violence, I hope, sir. Xo violence, please." Harold was hastening toward the door, with an apprehensive glance at the stair way. Letitit stood rooted to the parlor carpet in agony. "Shut up," roared the voice. '"Isay Bhut op." Harold was having an awful time with tbe lock. It looked as if he might not escape without assistance. "Letitia!" "Ye-es, papa." "When is that fellow going to propose? Will it be this season or not till nest?" And papa had to get into his trousers then and there and come down stairs to bless the blissful youDg cotple. It was merely a coop on the old man's part. Effects of Fishing. They look pretty closely after their daily walk and conversation of their clergy down in Ohio, according to the St Paul Pioneer frexs. A story comes fiom there of the deacon calling on the pastor with the complaint that he swore. The good man was dumbfounded and ask for a bill of particulars, whereupon it was explained to him that tbe week before h had gone fishing with a worldly man aad when the latter yelled: "Parson, I've had a damn good bite !" the good man responded cheerfully, "So havel!" Wife I want to talk with yoa about some things we nee I in the house. Husband What aru they. Wife Well, to begin with, dear, ont yon think we need a new bonnet? De troit Fitt Pre. eralo. Pearls cf Thought. Folly's pains are wisdom's gains. Money is rarely a substitute for mind. . What is useful is intrinsically orna mental. Love bath no dearer privilege than his service. An indulgent confessor makes a poor reformer. She that wasteth crumbs throweth away pleasures. An idea is more prolific than a grain of mustard seed. The true philanthropist belongs to the largest brotherhood. The value of an article varies accord ing to stress of need. We make our to-days of yesterdays ; our to-morrows of to-days. When a man's word is not as good as his bond, keep watch on his bond. When marriage w anything but an equal partnership it is a mistake. Some men convert the "brass" in their systems to gold in their pockets. To please people with whom yoa talk, always know a little less than they do. A suspicious circumstance connected with pride is that it is apt so often to be misplaced. There ara few people who do not at some time shy when they run suddenly upon tbe truth. Discussion hath its purposes that of convincing each man of the correctness of his own views. In maturity reason sometimes builds a palace out of the ruins which the pas sions of youth have left. The best maxim for the guidance of an inquiring mind', is this : Try to see in every error the deeper truth which alone can explain it An old man once aaid of a young man who had recent'y become his friend : "I love him for his spirit of joy." The spirit of joy is a disposition to easy de light in simple things. Sometimes we see a maiden in the transition period between girlhood and womanhood, so innocent lovely, so unconsciously graceful, that we know not whether to deem her sc'd the trans parent robe of her body or her body the dissolving dress of her soul. The Triumph Was Hers. There is just now a triumphant little lady on Dearborn avenue, near Chicago avenue, and only a block away U a gla zier who U suffering the horrors of de feat Ia the Dearborn avenuo house were two broken window panes. One of these was entirely destroyed and the other had only a small corner broken off. The glazier was sent for to replace theox. Xow the lady It ad two small pictures in need of glass and the big pane waa just the thing.- She woald-have- it cut to fit them and would be so much ahead. Bat w hen ehe had paid the workman tho big pane of glass was gone. She sent the domestic over for it but the glaier refused to give it a?. "It vbas der rules of der shop," he explained, blandly. Then the little woman went over. "Se here, I paid yoa what yoa asked for putting ia those panes and you'ye carried off my own glasi. I want that glass no w." "Vhell, you pay feefty cent. Der rules of der shop say so." "I don't care anything about the rules of the shop. You've taken my glass and I want it" "Vhell, yoa ged ondt," he retarned, and the little woman retreated. Lter in the evening she went back, accompanied by her husband. The hus band, without any preface, walked up to the counter, took up the window-pane and started out with it. "Pjlice ! Tolice !'" shrieked the excited workman, rushing out on the sidewalk. The husband laid the glass down as two officers from tbe Chicago avenue station hurried np. The situation was explain ed, and the po ice told the husband to take the glass if he was certain of the property. When he looked around how ever, it had disappeared. They were outwitted. Justice Kerstrn was appealed to recover the property under a criminal warrant It wouldn't stick. Then the little woman decided to bide her time. It came. Three mornings later thegl. s'er's boy rung the bell. Did the glazier leave a hammer there the other day ? "Oh, yes," replied the landlady, stout ly. The glazier needed it very badly. "That's all right Tell him it's the rules of this honse that we keep all the tools left here. If he wants his hammer tell him to return my glass." Ten minutes later the boy was at the door with the pane of ghiss. The land lady took it "Tell your bosi I was m.suken he didn't leave his hammer here !' And the door closed with a bang. Later it was learned that the hammer wan left next door. Chicjo Seat. Cat Worship. In the middle ages anima'.s formed as prominent a part i" the worship of the time as they had done in the old religion of Egypt The cat was a very important personage in religious festivals. AtAix, in Provence, on the festivals of Corpus Christi, the finest torn cat of the country, wrapped in iwadding clothes like a child, waa exhibited in a magnificent shrine to public admiration. Every knee was bent every hand strewed flowers or poured incense, and Grimalkin was treated in all respects as the god of the day. But on the festival of St John poor Tom's fate was reversed. A number of the tabby tribe were put into a wicker basket and thrown alive into the midst of an im mense fire kindled in the public square by the bishop and his clergy. Hymns and anthems were sung, and processions were made by the priests aud people in honor of the sacrifice. The ilUlion. "What is woman for?" asked a cor respondent cf the X. Y. Suit. . EJitor Dana lays aside his grave p ilitical prob lems to give this beautiful answer: "he is for soul, for thought, for love, for bewitchment, for romance, for beauty and for man. She is for this world and for otht r worlds. She is for all time and after time. She is for everything thit is worth anything. She is for life. She is for earth and heaven." The great value of Hood's Sarsaparil'a as a remedy for catarrh is vouched for by thousands of people whom it has cured. WHOLE NO. 215G. Seeing the Point. A boy returned from school one day with a report that hia echolarship had fallen somewhat below the average. " Well," said hia father, "yoa have fall en this month, have you?" " Yes, sir." "How did that happen?"' "Don't know, sir." The father knew if the son did not He had observed a number of dime nov els about the house, but had not thought it worth while to say anything until a fitting opportunity arrived. "Empty out those apples, and take the basket and bring it to me half full of dry chips." Suspecting nothing, the boy obeyed. "And now," he continued, "put those apples back into the basket" When half the apples were replced, the son said : " Fathei, they roll off; I can't put on any more." "Put them in, I tell yon." 'Bat, father, I can't put thetn in." "Put them in ! Xo, of course yoa can't put theia in. Do you expect to fill a bas ket half full of chips and then fill it with apples? You said you didn't know why you fell behind at school, and I will tell yoa. Yoar mind is like that basket. It will hold only so much, and here yoa have been for the past month filling it up with cheap dirt miserable dime nov els." ' The boy turned on his heel, whistled and Eaid : "Whew! Ise.the point." Xot a dime novel has lieen seen in that houe from that day to this. Other and older persons might well see the same point A mind filled with fic tion bates and rejects truth. A person reading history, ait science or travels may grow wiaer every day ; but a man may read fiction a hundred years, and know no more when he Ca shes than when he began. There is real sin and sorrow and suffer ing enough in the world for as to pity and relieve, without wasting our teats over the trouble of some fictitious "Ma tilda Jane," and there ia work and ent erprise and energy enough in real life to engaT our powers, without resorting to cheap novels for inspiration and excite ment But unfortunately, the girls who will shed as many tws over sotut heroine's iictiiiotu sorrow, as they wt uld while peeling a panful of onions, are the very persons who would turn up their noees at a suffering beggar, and let a sick per son starve unvisited, in a garret. And the boys who wax heroic over the great doings of some count, hero or cut-throat, are too lazy to earn an honest living, and are willing to let their mothers wait on them, and black their boots while they lay in bed after sunrise, or smoke cigars or a wear to prove that they are men. Epicurean Morsels. Worcestershire sauce over hot Iamb chops is held to greatly improve the pal atableneds of them.

Xo matter what appearances may be there is no such thing as real prosperity to the wicked. The devil cheats ns out of a great many blessing by teaching us to bo cloe with oar money. The man who is not thankful does not know half the time whether he really has any God or not. The more housa a man builds on the sin.' the more he will have to lose when the storm comes. .

"Haven't you got anything solid to eat?" said a traveler, discontentedly eye ing the prof niou of pies and small cakes on the counter cf a re-taurant at one of the way stations. ' Shall I g; . e yoa some beans V said the proprietor, with his most persuasive smile. Tbe traveler assented, and making short work of them, asked, "How much?" "Twenty-five cents," was the bland response. "What r cried the traveler ; "twenty five cents for a spoonful of cold beans?" Tbe proprietor continuing firm in bis pri.-e, the man paid it and departed. Bat late that afternoon a telegram was banded to the restaurant keeper, for which he paid tweuty-tive ceala. It ran thus: Don't yon think your price a little high on beans?" Taavkleb.
