hoped he wasnt going to be sick Next morning the little cottage was astir very early Mrs Good will would be away all day and the children always liked to see her in the morning as long as they could As they gave their mother a goodbye Joss she said After the garden is weeded and the house up you may go bcr- r as many as yes terday will put them up this even ing ft will out in the winter

understand In a few days the children surpris ed their mother with the dollar and Mrs Goodwill went to the com mittee to say that she would take one of the waifs Wont it too hard for you Mrs Goodwill with all your care to have one asked one of the committee who knew her it is the childrens plan and have earned enough to cure for one I think I could not dis appoint them for anything A week later one of the committee said to a friend think its the berries that have done it At first no one was willing to take the twenty Only two had agreed to take two of them when those Good will children

them Im going to write for them to send us fifty Its all Chris and Minnies work Gorham Maine Times A House Divided 1 Most persons have had the experi ence of walking with a friend out of step and trying to shift just at the moment when the friend also makes the attempt This is an in stance of thwarted harmony much like that which appears in a story told by of an elderly couple They were childless and had never been united by the bond of other lives linked with their own So they were always in a state of well- bred disagreement On the subject of meals they dis agreed thoroughly and each usual ly suggested a dish for the Sunday dinner which the other did not ap prove One Saturday the man came home from market with a basket You neednt worry about to morrows dinner any more Maria Ive got it And so have George You were so undecided Undecided I told you what I wanted Well I mean you didnt decide as I did So I bought a goose Why so have I I told you Id like a goose Well now we are agreed for once anyway Yes and I suppose well have cold goose anl stewed goose for the next two weeks They relapsed into their usual si lence Sunday forenoon the wife asked Do you want a little quince in tho applesauce for your goose Your goose you mean No I dont It seemed o ab surd to have two geese in house that I sent mine to Aunt Jane What I sent mine to Uncle Joe His pee A young couple matrimonial intent fresh from tho green fields of their rural homes went recently to the parsonage of a clergyman in Maryland The nuptial knot was tied In the pause which followed tho newmade Benedict looked cm as he fished in hie trousers pockets as if looking for something Whats the price ho finally blurted out Tho state allows me a dollar said the cler gyman and paused Some pauses are eloquent than words Evidently this was not Well finally the groom as he handed the astonished divine a if the State allows you a dollar take this and job will netted you a dollar and a quarter Good day Dividing a bong of half the eighteenth who used to preach two or hours like Isaac Barrows was ingenious in detaining his congregation On one occasion after preaching nearly two hours as long as he could feel secure in the presence of all his his hearers he remarked that he was done preaching to sinners and that they were at liberty to go The rest of his discourse would be addressed to good people A gentleman who once went to hear him stated that when the was nearly ready to be turned a second time from the com- of his sermon he said much to the relief the person who related it Once more Af ter going on some eight or ten min utes longer he said To conclude and after another about equal in terval he said Lastly The gentleman added that he ex pected every moment to hear him say Everlastingly Thought He Needed It V self Professor in his later years was one of the most pictur esque figures in the streets Even in old age he was erect and vigorous with handsome features and hair falling in ringlets about his shoulders No one who had seen him could possible forget him His peculiarities of appear ance give point to an anecdote which the genial old professor is said to have been fond of telling himself He was one day accosted by a very dirty little bootblack with his Clean your boots sir The professor was much impressed by the grime on the boys face I dont want my boots cleaned my lad said he but if youll go and wash your face Ill give you sixpence A right sir was the boys reply Then he went over to a neighboring fountain and fulfilled his part the bargain When he returned he held out his hand for the money Well my lad said the profes sor you have earned your six pence Here it is I want it replied the boy with a selfimportant air Ye can keep it and get your hair cut To Be Miserable If you want to be miserable sit down and imagine you are worse off than any oneelse Compare your circumstances in life with those of your wealthy neighbor and wish you were in his place Forget all your blessings and re member all your trials Dont tli ink anyone who does you a kind deed but blame him for not doing more If there are any poor and suffer ing about you dont lift a finger to help them but let some one else look after them Grumble about the weather and think you could make it better Never speak a kind word to a child but forget that you were one yourself Dont give to any charitable ob ject but save all your money you may it some time Never smile if you can help it but frown on everything you meet Dont feel obliged to work but consider that the world owes you a living Choose for your associates those who aro as near like yourself as possible and see how much sun shine you can keep out of other peo ples lives If you follow strictly all those rules you will surely bo miserable yourself and help to make other people so A good word is as soon said as an ill one sparrows on one ear of corn never agree Spanish proverb Every man thinks he is ono of a thousand and ho is of tho ciphers Sow the seed of a neglected duty and you will reap a harvest of re morse Thero are moro who hear tho voice of God at the ago of Samuel than at the ago of Eli There aro church members who work harder for a than they do for a revival is the vehicle of thought but it is up to some thoughts to take a rid on tho water wagon No load is heavy enough to crush tho man that is conscious of his in tegrity and trying to do will of God The His Matt A poor wayfaring man of grief Hath often crossed me on my way Who sued so or relief That I could never answer nay I had no power to ask his name Whither he went or whence he Yet there was something in eye That won my love 1 knew not why Once when my scanty meal was spread He entered not a word he spake Just perishing for want of bread I gave him all he blessed it brake And ate but gave me part again Mine was an angels portion then For while I fed with eager baste crust was manna to my taste I spied him where a fountain burst Clear from the rock his strength was- gone The heedless water his thirsV v Ho heard it saw it hurrying on I ran and raised the sufferer up Thrice from the stream he drained his cup Dipt and returnd it running oer I drank and never thirsted more Twas night the floods were out it blew A winter hurricane aloof I heard his voice abroad and flew To bid him welcome to my roof I I elbthd I cheer my guest Laid him on my own couch to rest Then made the earth my bed it An Edens garden while I dreamed Stript wounded beaten nigh Ho death I found him by a highway side I roused his pulse brought back his breath his spirit and supplied Wine oil refreshment he was heal ed I had myself a wound concealed But from that hour forgot the smart And peace bound Up my broken heart In prison I saw him next condemn ed To meet a traitors doom at morn The tide of lying tongues I And honor him midst shame and scorn My friendships utmost zeal to try He asked if I for him would die The flesh was weak my blood ran chill But the free spirit cried I will Then in a moment to my view The stranger darted from disguise Tho tokens of his hands I knew My Saviour stood before mine eyes He spake and my poor name he Of Me thou has not been These deeds shall memorial be Fear not thou didst them unto Me The we were poor remarked the prosperous man rerltiveW we looked forward to the when wo could a Well

keeps them all shut up and spends moat of her time in Europe but she knows she has them The Sin Fretting There is one sin which it seems to Tad is everywhere and by every body underestimated and quite too much overlooked in valuation of character It is the sin of fretting It is as common as air as speech so common that unless it rises above its usual monotone wo do not oven observe it Watch any ordinary coming together of peoplo and see how many minutes it will bo before somebody frets that is makes more or less complaining statement of something or other which most probably every in the room or in street car or on tho street corner it may bo know beforehand probably nobody can help Why say anything about it It is cold it is hot it is wot it is dry somebody has broken an appointment illcooked a meal stupidity or bad faith somewhere has resulted in discomfort it is simply astonishing how much an noyance may bo found in tho course of very days living if only keeps a sharp out on that side of things Even Writ wo aro prone to trouble as tho sparks fly upwards But oven to tno sparks living upward in tho blackest smoke there is a blue sky abovo and the less timo waste on tho road sooner they will reach it Fretting is all timo wast ed on tho road Tho best of men but men at tho best Many a man is anxious to make a good profession than to make his profession good If souls to bear

Bethlehem And while men commemorate the fact of God manifest in the they will keep open the door of faith in a supernatural revelation and a su pernatural religion Christianity is bound up with the
