"Mothor's Fool." '
nv n. p. bl'ssell.
"Tls plain to me," snld a farmer's wiro
"Those boys will make tholr mark In life j
They never wcro mado to handle a hoc,
And at once to college ought to go.
There's Fred, ho's little botter'n a fool,
But John and Harry must go to school."
"Well, really, wife," quoth farmer Brown
As ho set his mug of elder down,
"Fred does more work In n day for mo
Thau Jioth his brothers do In three.
Book larnln' will never plant one's corn,
Nor mend a rod of broken fence ;
For my pnrt,glvo me common sense,"
But his wife was bound the roost lo rule,
And John nud Harry were sent lo school,
While Fred, of course was left behind,
For hh mother said ho had no mind.
Five years nt school the students spent j
Then Into business each one went,
John learned to play his flute and fiddle,
And parting his hair, of course. In the tnlii,n
While his brother looked rather higher than ho,
iiu iitiiiguuLn sign, "ii, nrown, M. It."
Meanwhile at homo their brother Fred
Had tukcu n notion Into his bend i
But ho quietly trimmed hlsnpplc-trees,
And weeded onions and planted peas;
While some how, either by hook or crook,
He mannged to read full mauy a book-,
Until nl Inst bis falher sold
Ho was getting "oook larnln'" Into Ida head;
"But for all that," added farmer Brown,
"He's tho smartest boy there Is In lown."
Tho wnr broke out, and Captain Fred
A hundred men to the battle led,
Ajid when the Confederate flag came down,
Went marching homo as General Brown.
But he went to work on tho farm again,
Aud planted earn nud sowed his gmln,

Sorao Olio's Sorvaut Girl.
She stood there leaning wearily
Against n window frame,
Her fuco was patient, sad and sweet,
Her garments coarse and plain;
"Who Is (he, pray?" I asked n friend,
The red Bps gavo a curl,
"Really I I do not know her name,
She's somo one's servant girl."
Again I Baw heron the street
With burd en trudging along,
Her face was sweet and patient still,
Amid the Jostling throug;
Slowly, but cheerfully she moved,
Guarding with watchful enro
A market basket much too largo
For her slight nan ds to bear.
A man, I'd doubtagent'.eman,
Went pushing rudely by,
Sweeping the basket from her bands,
But turning not his eye ;
For there was no necessity
Amldthatbusy whirl.
For him to bo a gentleman
To soaie one's servnut girl.
Ah I well It is, that God above
Looks lu upon tho heart,
And never Judges any ono
By Just tho outer part;
For if tbo soul be pure and good,
Ho will not mind tho rest.
Nor question what the garments wcro

It Is In tho nature of most womon to
require continual assurances, Just as it
Is with children ; and very fow hcllovo
In a Iovo which Is not frequently ex

has lost its early fovcrlshness is tho

catiso it looks as it tlid on that evening,
and shivering with incipient catarrh.
All tins is very dreadful to her; worn
en, unfortunately for themselves, re
malnlng young and keeping hold mucl

The first defection of this kind is r
pang tho young wlfo never forgets ; but
sue ii.is many more, anil yet moro bit
ee.1 m i us, wnen tno tieioeuon laues n
personal shape, und some pretty little
intention is carelessly received without
Its duo loward of loving thanks. Per
haps somo usual form of caross Is omit

or some gloomy anticipation of profess
lonal trouble makes him oblivious of
her presence, or, fretted by her Impor-
tunnto attentions, bo buries himself in
n book, moro to escape being spoken to
tnan for the book's own merits. Many
n woman has gono into her own room
nnd had a "good cry" because her hus
band called her by her baptismal namo,
nnu not oy somo nbsuril nlcknamo In

becaii3o pressed for time, lie huiricd out
of tho house without going through tho
established formula of leavo taking.
The lover has merged in tho husband ;
security has taken the placo of wooing;
and tho woman does not take kindly to
tho transformation. Sometimes sho
plays a dangerous game, nnd tries what
flirting nnd other men will do. If her
sclicmo does not answer, and her hus
band is not mado Jealous, sho is revolt
ed, and holds herjelf that hardly-used
uemg, a neglected wife. Sho cannot
accept us n compliment tho quiet trust
which certain cool-headed men of n
loyal kind plnco In their wives; und
his tolerance of her Ilirtiug manner
which ho takes to be maiiueronly, with
no evil in it, and with which, though
ho may not especially liko it, ho does
not interfere seems to her indifference
rather than toloraneo. Yet tho confi-
denco implied in this forbearance Is in
point or fact a compliment worth all
tho petits soins ever invented, though
this hearty faith is Just the thing which
annoys her, and which shu stigmatizes
as neglect. If sho wore to go far enough
sho would ilnd out her mistake. But
by that time sho would have gono too
far to profit by her experience.
Nothing Is moro nutioyiiig than that
display of affection which somo hus
bands and wlvo4show to each other in
society. That familiarity of touch.
thoo half-concealed caresses, those nb-
surd nnines, that prodigality of endear-
ng oplthets, that devoted attention
which they flaunt in tho fuco of tho
public as a kind of clmlleiigo to the
worltl at largo to comoandadmiro their
happiness, is always noticed and laugh
ed ut, and sometimes more than laughed
at.' Vet to some women this parade is
the very es-enco of married happiness
and part of their dearest Driviletres.
They bellovo themselves admired and
envied, when they are ridiculed nnd
scoffed nt ; and they think their hus
bands aro models for other men to copy
when they nro taken ns examples fornll
to' avoid. Men who have any real man
linos, however, do not glvo In to this
kind of thing; though there aro somo,
as eifeminato and gushing m women
themselves, who liko this sloppy effu
siveness of love, and cury It on Into

grandmother with gray hnlras lavishly
as thoy had fondled tho youthful brldo,
and seeing no want of harmony in call
IiU n withered old dame of sixty nnd
upwards by tho put names by which

uance of Iovo from youth (o old ago Is
very lovely, very cheering ; but oven
"John Anderson my Jo" would loso
his pathos if Mrs. Anderson had Ig
nored tho difference between tho raven
locks and tho snowy brow. This pub
lic display of familiar nffectlon Is nover
aeon among mon who prldo themselves
on making good lovers ; ns certain men
do thoso who liavo reduced the prac
tice of love-mnklng to an art, n sclonco,
nnd know their lesson ton letter. Thoso
men nro delightful to women, who liko
nothing so much us being mado Iovo to,

men who tuko matters quietly, nnd re

take matters quietly too, sail round
theso seroutille udorcrs for both depth
and manliness. And If women know
their best Interests they would caro
moro for llio trust than tho sclouco.
All that excess of Ildttcrlng and pot
ting of which women nro so fond bu.

of tho dally habit of llfo. Out In tho

and theso by no means tho coldest or
tho least loving, nro wise enough to
understand this need or rest In tho
mnn'a harder life, nnd, ucccptlng the
quiet of security ns pnrt of tho condi
tions of tnnrrlago, content themselves
with tho undemonstrnllvo Iovo Into
which tho fever of passion has subsided.
Others fret over it, nnd mako them
selves nnd their husbands wretched bo
causo they cannot bellovo In that which
Is not forever paraded beforo their
eyes. Yet what kind of homo Is It ror
tho man If ho has to wnlk as If on egg
shells, overy moment afraid of woun fl
ing tho susceptibility of n woman who
will tako nothing on trust nnd who
has to bo continually ntsured that ho
still loves her, before sho will believe
that to day Is as yesterday? or ono
thing sho may bo certain ; no wlto who
understands what Is tho best kind or mar
riage demands theso continual atten
tions, which, voluntary offering of tho
lover, becomo enforced tribute from tho
husband. Sho knows that ns ti wire,
whom It Is not necessary to court or
flatter, sho has n noblor plnco than that
which Is expressed by tho attentions
paid to n mistress. Wifehood, liko nil
assured conditions, does not need to bo
buttressed up ; but a less certain posi
tion must bo supported from tho out
side, nnd an Insecuro self-respect, nnun
certain holding, must bo perpetually
strengthened nnd reassured. Women
who cannot llvo happily without being
mado love to are moro like mistresses
than wives, nnd come but badly ofr in
tho great struggles or llfo and the cruel
handling of time. Placing all their
happiness in things which cannot con
tinue), they let slip that which lies In
their hands, and in their de3lro to re
tain the romantic position or lovers,
lose the sweet security or wives. Per
il np?, ir they had higher aims in llfo
than thoso with which they mako shift
to satisfy themselves, they would not
let themselves sink to the level of this
folly, nnd would understand better thnn
they do now tho worth of realities as
contrasted with appearances. And yet
wo cannot but pity the poor, weak, cra
ving souls who long so pitifully for the
freshness of tho morning to continue
far Into tho day nnd evening, who cling
so tenaciously to the fleeting romance
of youth. They aro taken by tho glit
ter of things lovo-raaking among tho
rost ; and the man who Is showiest in
his affection, who can express It with
most color, and paint it, so to speak,
with tho minutest touches, is tho man
whoso love seems to them tho most In
tense Thoy often mako the mistake of
conToundlng this show with tho sub
stance, or trusting to pictorial expres
sion rather than to solid Tacts. And
they often mako the mistake or cloying
their husbands with personal half cliild-
ish caresses which wero all very well
In tho early days, but which becomo
tiresomo as tlmo goes on nnd tho gruvl
ty of llfo doepens. And then, when
tho man either quietly keeps them off
or more brusquely repels them, thoy
nro hurt nnd miserable, nnd think tho
wholo happiness of their lives Is dead,
nnd nil that makes mnrrlngo beautiful
nt an end. What is to bo done to bal
ance things evenly in this unequal
world of sex '.' What, Indeed, is to bo
dono at nny timo to reconcllo strength
with wenkness, nnd to give each its
due ? Ono thing nt least Is sure. Tho

nature of men, tho fewer mistakes they

temperament of women, lUafemmes in

Tlm Slanderer.
It has been said of ovil speaking of
another: "The philosophy which could
bear it, wo would despise. Tho relig
ion which can bear It wodaro not do
splse, but wo would bo compelled to
say, its origin is not or this world."
And so it is. That mnn ne'er breath
cd whoso heart did not wither under
tho baneful inflttrnco of slander. It is
a mean, n cowardly thing. liy tho aid

though tho heart bo breaking. Tho
man conscious or rcctltudo may bo too
proud to let tho world know that tho

est ban on tho head of tho slanderer.
If ho ho a Christian, ho will, on bended
knee, imitating tho example of his DI

spitefully use nnd persecute" him.
Without nny exception, slanderers nro
poltroons. They never pour on (ho
head of tho victim tho " vial s of wrath"
unless they aro 6aroly In somo sato re
treat. Tho slanderer would as soon at
tempt to scramblo up tho side of n vol
canto mountain amid burning streams
of lava, ns to faco tho man ho is seeking
to Injure.
Thero Is another sort of slander tho
man who stands by, und knowing the
truth, falls to correct tho falso report.
Is ho not moro guilty than tho skulking
snoak-thlef or character, tho prowling
miscreant who strives to Injuro others
for his owii solflsh purposes ?

Thero is n fault which docs not get It

which is experienced by others nt the

Sympathy.
Till wo havo reflected on It, wo nro
scarcely awnro how much tho sum or
human happiness In this world Is In
debted to this ono feeling sympathy.
Wo get cheerfulness and vigor, wo
scarcely know how or when, from mero
association with our fellow-men, and
from tho Iooka.rellectod on us of glad
ness and enjoyment. Wo catch inspira
tion and power to go on from human
presence and from cheerful looks. Tho
woman works with additional energy
having others by. Tho full family clr
clo has n strength nnd life peculiarly Its
own. Tho substantial good and tho ef
fectual roller which wo extend to an
other Is trifling. It Is not by these, but
by something Tar less costly, that tho
work Is done. Ood has Insured It by ft
much moro simple machinery. Ho has
given to tho weakest and tho poorost
power to contribute largely to tho com
mon stock or gladness. Tho child's
smile and laugh aro mighty powers in
this world. When bereavement hag
left you desolate, what substantial ben
efit is there which makes condolence
acceptable V It can bestow upon you
nothing permanent. Hut n warm hand
has touched yours, nnd its thrill told
you that Idero wni n living rcsponso
tbere to your emotion. Ono look, ono
human sigh, has dono more for you
than tho costliest present could.

over a wretched road, to tho Klltock
