Pick out the folks you like the least and watch ’em for a while; They never waste a kindly word, they never waste a smile; They criticise their fellow man ai every chance they get, They never found a human just to suit their fancy yet. From them I guess you’d learn some things if they were pointed out— Some things that every one of usshould know a lot about. ; When some one “knocks” a brother, pass around the loving cup— Say something good about him if you have to make it up. It’s safe to say that every man God made, holds some trace of good That he would fain exhibit to his fel- lows if he could; The kindly deeds in many a soul are hibernating there, Awaiting the encouragement of other souls that dare To show the best that’s in them; and a universal move Would start the whole world running in a more helpful groove. Say something sweet to paralyze the “knocker” on the spot— Speak kindly of his victim if you know the man or not. The eyes that peek and peer to find the worst a brother holds, The tongue that speaks in bitterness, that frets and fumes and scolds; The hands that bruise the fall, though their strength was means to raise The weaklings who had stumbled at the parting of the ways— All these should be forgiven, for they “know not what they do;” Their hindrance makes a greater work for wiser ones like you. So, when they scourge a wretched one who’s drained sin’s bitter cup, Say something good about him if you have to make it up. Real happiness oftener looks out of the window of an humble home than through the opera-glass in the egilded box of a theatre. A happy home, whether it consists of two or twelve members, is one where love presides at the board and watches over the couches; where each person loves himself last and considers the other first ; where the irritable word is restrained and the affectionate thought given utterance, and where each is glad in laboring for the others comfort and relieving the others cares. The grandest luxury God ever gave man is health. He who trades that off for all the palaces of the earth ischeat- ed. Many have envied Napoleon, but he would gladly have given all his hon- ors to have been freed from the gout. A dinner of herbs tastes better to the appetite sharpened on a woodman’s ax or a scythe, than wealthy indigestion experiences seated at a table covered with venison and allthe luxuries-of the season. With good health we can sleep sweetly on a straw mattress, while fashionable invalids get but little rest on a couch of eagle’s down. Let us remember Paul’s advice to the He- brews,.and if we have health, in all other respects “Be content with such things as ye have.” There is a great deal of sentimental cant, one must allow, in the common talk about the ‘beauty and glory of motherhood, but very little practical appreciation of the beauty and glory among the talkers. The accepted form- ulas would lead one to believe that the whole thing was a mere exhibition and enjoyment of loveliness and tenderness without responsibility, or work, or weaYiness ; without a moment of ter- ror, or agony, or despair. Art has so far taken up the fancy and helped it forward that its perpetual preseuta- tion of the motherhood is either the blissful young being aureoled with hap- piness, and holding her young babe in her arms, or else the saintly old woman who, with her silver hair and serene smile, sits down for a placid breathing spell at the end of her journey. But with the intermediate mother, the real mother, the mother of many cares, of constant effort, of daily and nightly anxieties, neither art nor poetry oc- cupies itself ; and though her children may some day rice up and call her blessed, yet for long and weary years Let us lay aside discontent, petulance and moroseness. These are the worst enemies that can dwell within a home. If we can reach philosophy in no other way, let us do so by contemplating the ill fortunes of those who are more af- flicted than we, and so we may acquire 2 certain negative content that will suffice until we can cultivate a more positive virtue. Discontent saps the strength and is an enemy to progress Petulance accomplishes nothing. It injures the influence of those who in- dulge in it, alienating those about us. A word of encouragement at the right time is of more real worth than an ounce of gold. 1t is more nourish- ing to the soul than meat and drink to the hungry. Itisbetter stimulant than the richest wine, and the strongest lever to life from the ruts of despond- ency. Many a poor overworked wife is pining for a word of sympathy from her husband. Just one word, one look, to show that the toil of weary hours are appreciated, and the light reflected would more than recompense the giver. What is it that sends the miner into the darkened pit? Into the mills and factories? Upon the farms and oceans? Not the love of gain, not to live for self. It is, that when the days of toil are past he can fly to some sympathetic arm for praise and encouragement. CHEERFULNESS. Cultivate a cheerful disposition. Do not wrap up all your interest, all your thoughts and ambitions in self. Seek to please those with whom you associ- ate, and above all strive to lighten the burdens and hours of the ones at home who call you husband, father, or broth- er. Whatever be your disappoint- ment, or how heavy the cross you bear, donot go over the threshold of your home with a sullen, cheerless counte- nance. A cheerful word or smile will fill your fireside with pleasantness, re- kindle the fires of love in your wife's bosom and brighten the hopes and as- pirations of your children. §Cheerful- ness is better than a doctor’s medicine, and a cheerful home is an earthly heaven.

There was given into his keep- . ing one day the case of a young min- ister then rapidly ascending the lad- der of renown in the city by the great lake. It chanced that his particular . client was gifted with bright red hair and mustache and had suffered the loss of a great portion of his left arm. Gifted beyond the majority of men of the cloth, Mr. J. had succeeded in charming the eity with his eloquence and the freshness with which he clothed the doctrine he promulgated. In an evil day, however, he became in- volved in a scandal. Certain inflien- tial members of his congregation claimed to have seen their’ minister in places where he should not have been. The matter grew worse and worse, until he was sued for divorce and expelled from the church. Later he was arrested, and Mr. Trude was exrected to rehabilitate him. : The lawyer undertook the task with the interest of a Sherlock Holmes, for he saw at once that he must be resourceful and ingenious. The out- come of the matter depended entirely uron the ability of the witnesses to identify Mr. J. as the man they claimed to have seen in certain places. One day he startled his client by demanding: : “How many red-headed men do you suppose there are in the world who have lost their south paws and who drn’t weigh over ten pounds more tLsn you do at your height?” “Not many, I fear.” “Well, there must be a few of you in the whole world, and if there are we're got to get ’em.” Within a week agents of the law- ver were in every large city in wae United Statés. They began operations by inserting advertisements in the nevrspapers, which read as follows: “Wanted — Red-headed, one-armed, right-armed men. Must weigh within ten pounds of 165 and be no more than 5 feet 10 nor less than 5 feet S$ inches tall. No work and good pay to those who fit the bill. : When the day of the justice court ‘rial came Mr. Trude had twenty Mr. J’s in town. When the time arrived for the first witness, who happened to be a sedate deacon of Mr. J.’s for- mer church, to make his identification Mr. Trude said: ; “Mr. Bailiff, bring in the prisoner, please.” ik The door opened, and in marched a line of twenty red-headed men minus their left arms. They were so like to one another as peas in a pod-—so startlingly alike, in fact, that Mr. Trude himself gasped in astonishment as they solemnly filed into the court- room. The room of utter amazement on the good deacon’ face was & . study for an artist. He tried to speak, but his tongue clove to the roof of his mouth. “Deacon, you said you could pick Mr. J. out of a crowd aywhere,” sald the lawyer in a caressing tome. “I d--d,” stammed the astonished witness. “Will you, then, kindly tell the jury, deacon, which of these men you saw on the night in question?” “l cannot, but I think it is t-h-a-t one in the c-e-n-t-er.” “Are you positive, deacon?” “] did not believe there was anoth- er man in the whole world just like him,” declared the deacon. “Are you positive in your identifica- tion?” demanded the court. “I am not, your honor, but I am rea- sonably certain.” The farce comedy was continued during the entire afternoon, the 20 red-headed men filing in and out of the court room with never a smile, as each witness was sworn and in turn dismissed. Some of the women witnesses grew hysterical when con- fronted with that solemn row of brick- topped, crippled men, and told Mr. Trude to his face that it “was a mean shame.” Before the last member of Mr. J."s former congregation disappeared the foreman of the jury arose, and, laugh- ing, said: “Your honor, the jury returns a ver- dict of not guilty.” “Prisoner discharged,” sald the jus- tice. . “If my client will step out of the ranks, your honor,” said Mr. Trude, “I shall be pleased toc congratulate him.” “Me, too, Mr. Trude. Mr. J, step forth.” Whereat twenty red-headed, ome- armed, welldrilled men advanced two paces and saluted the court—S8. G. A. in Chicago Record-Herald.
