Use the bitter elements of life
medicine, and feed on the sunshine.
Time is never lost that is spent
#.ading ‘any person into a better life.
Don’t neglect your children until
hey are grown, and then complain be-
-ause they neglect you.
Give your children good books and
slenty of them, and then help them
.nderstand what they read.
, Habbits formed in youth are very apt
*) stick to you in after life. Young
.eople who now spend every dollar
.hey can raise, are not apt to be thrifty
y after life. Those who go in rude
-ompany and use rude language will
aturally associate with the ruder class
a years to come. Many parents never
sem to think of those things, but al-
yw their children to drift along just
.3 it may happen.
Sympathy does not lighten a burden
-f sorrow, but it does help the burden-
.d one to bear his load. If, therefore,
you know of a sorrow which presses
.nother’s heart, give expression to your
-pmpathy with him, even though you
inderstand that he alone must strug-
le under the weiglit of his burden. In
ne sense your words cannot help him;
a another sense they can. Speak them
at, therefore, for what they may be
vorth. He will be grateful for them,
.nd you will be the better for their
“peaking.
Parental love, conjugal love, filial
.ove are the keystone to that arch that
supports the pillars of government and
ieeps our social system secure. As a
ule anarchists have no children. No,
othing to love but themselves. As a
ule the poor love their children better
han the rich, for riches will in time
bsorb a man and absorb his best emo-
ions. With the poor the children are
irst, with the rich they are second.
‘he law of compensation comes into
wverything in this life, The good and
he bad, the joys and the sorrow are
.indly mixed by a wise Providence.
‘hen let us all be content with our lot.
.et us not look over the fence to envy
wr neighbor, for we know not his
ecret SOrrows.
Honor the dear mother. Time has
:attered snowy flakes on her brow,
lowed deep furrows on her cheek, but
: she not sweet and beautiful now?
‘he lips are thin and shrunken, but
hose are the lips which have kissed
nany a hot tear from the childish
.-heeks, and they are the sweetest lips
in the world. The eye is dim, yet it
lows with the soft radiance that can
ever fade. Ah! yes, sheisa dear old
mother. The sands of life nre nearly
.. out, but feeble as she is, she will
of rther, and reach down lower for
oughean any other upon earth. You
-annot voter a prison whose bars can
«vep her out ; you cannot mount a scaf-
41d fo high for her to reach, that she
aay kiss and bless you in evidence of
or deathless love. When the world
hall despise and forsake you, when it
aves you by the wayside to perish un-
oticed, the dear mother will gather
ou to her arms and tell you all your
irtues, until you almost forget that
our soul is disfigured with. vices,
ove her tenderly, and cheer her de-
dining years with holy devotion.
HOW WOULD IT BE?
If an authoritative bulletin were to
ve issued this moment from the court
.f heaven, that in just seven days the
arth would be destroyed, what pas-
ion do you think would survive the
vord? Would it be hate or envy, or
1mbition, or the love of gain? Oh, no;
»f all the passions that animate the hu-
nan breast, the one to endure would
we love. There would be a rush to
rrasp love’s final opportunity. Moth-
ars would gather children about them,
nd ‘there would be no impatience, no
putting aside of bothering little arms,
no withholding of caresses because
they disarrange hair or lace. There
would be no turning the boys out into
rhe street for the reason that in their
play at home they were prone to make
havoe with the tidies on the chairs and
the bric-a-brac on the shelves. There
would be no lack of knowledge as to.
where the girls are in the evenings.
Indifferent husbands and nagging,
bickering wives would forego their
coldness. and their quarreling, to vie
with each other to redeem the past
during the brief time allotted them.
Friends would be more faithful, lovers
more true, associates more thoughtful
of each other’s comfort as the swift
hours sped away. But we need no bul-
letin from heaven to acquaint us with
the briefness of love’s opportunity:
The span of our day is already set,and |
we wonder if the thought of home to us
may not quicken ‘us to improve the
chance to brighten our homes with the
fall and constant shining of love that
is in our hearts, although dimmed and
corroded by the sordid environments
of life.

Was Qut of Danger.
Dr. Whipple, long Bishop of Min-
resotanesota, was about to hold re-
ligious services near an Indian vil-
lage in one of the Western States,
and before going to the place of
meeting asked the chief, who was
his host, whether it was safe for
him to leave his effects unguarded
in the lodge, says The Woman's
“Tome Companion.
‘Plenty safe,” grunted the red
;an. ‘No white man in a hundred

INTERVIEWED THE BEST MAN.
Pat Was Willing He Should Have
the Honor.
Pat was invited to a wedding. He
arrived at the house faultlessly at-
tired in full evening dress, a huge
white chrysanthemum adorning his
buttonhole. He was shown upstairs
to the gentlemen’s dressing-room.
The guests assembled below were
suddenly startled by hearing .a great
commotion above. Rushing into the
hall to ascertain the cause they were
somewhat startled to behold Pat
come tumbling head first down the
stairs, completely dishevelled:
Upon the amazed host's exclairh-
ing, ‘“Why, Pat, what ig the mat-
ter?” Pat answered.
‘Shure and I wint upstairs, and
whin I wint into the room I seed a
swell young dandy wid a white car-
nationarymum in his buttonhole and
"kid gloves on his hands, an’ I sez to
im, ‘Who’s you?’ ‘Shure,’ he sez,

Her Opinion of Mrs. Stowe.
It was only natural that in the
Beecher family the name of Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Stowe was often
quoted to the younger generation as
one having authority.
On one occasion a grandniece of
Mrs. Stowe became very angry at
one of her little playmates, and,
stamping her foot, said: “I hate you,
and I don’t want anything more to
do with you, nor your man-servant,
nor your maid-servant, nor your ox,
nor your ass.”
Her mother, overhearing the out-
burst, sternly reproved her offspring,
asking if she knew what she was
saying.
Little Miss Beecher promptly re-
plied: ‘Yes, the Ten Command-
ments.”
“Well,
them ?”’
The child, looking much disgust-
ed, answered: “Goodness, yes!
Aunt Harriet did, I s’pose.”
do you know who wrote
The Proud Father.
‘““Yes,”’ said the old man, address-
ing his young visitor, ‘I am proud of
my girls, and would like to see them
comfortably married; and as I have
made a little money, they will not
go to their husbands penniless.
There's Mary, twenty-five years old,
and a real good girl. I shall give her
$5,000 when she marries. Then
comes Bet, who won't see thirty-five
again, and I shall give her $10,000;
and the man who takes Eliza, who is
forty, will have $15,000 with her.”
The young man reflected a moment
or so, and then inquired: ‘You have~
n't one about fifty, have you?’'—

Loss Not Serious.
A professor of sciences, well
known for his absent-mindedness,
was engaged in a deep controversy
one day with a fellow student when
his wife hurriedly entered the room.
“Oh, my dear,” she cried, ‘I've swal-
lowed a pin.” The professor smiled.
“Don’t worry about it, my dear,” he
said in a soothing tone. ‘It is of no
consequence. Here—" he fumbled
at his lapel, “Here is another pin.”

To prove unquestionably, and beyond any Ronin
that Catarrh of the nose and throat can be cured
I am furnishing Daclenite through druggists, smal
free Trial Boxes of Dr. S8hoop's Catarrh Cury.
Ido this because I am so certain, that Dr. 8hoo oop
Catarrh Cure will bring actual substantial help.
| Nothing certainly, is so convincing as a physical
| test of any article got real, genuine merit. But that
| article must possess true merit, else the test will
condemn, rather than advance it. Dr. S8hoop's
Catarrh Cure is a snow white, healing antiseptic
balm, put up in beautiful nickel capped glass jars
at 50c. Such soothing agents as Oi calyptus,
Thymol, Menthol, etc., are incorporated into a
velvety, cream like Petrolatum, imported by br.
Shoop from Europe. If Catarrh of the nose and
throat has extended to the stomach, then by. all
means also use internally, Dr. Shoop’ $ Restorative.
Stomach distress, a lack of general streagth,
bloating, belching, biliousness, bad taste, etc.
surely call for Dr. Bhoop's Restorative.
