PRAISE YOUR WIFE.

Praise your wife, man for PHYS sake
give her little encouragement; it won't
hurt her. She has made your home
comfortable, your hearth brig ght and shi
ming, your food agreeable; for pity's
sake tell her you thank her. if nothing
more. She don't expect it, it will make
her eyes open wider than they have fol-
these ten years, but it will do her good
for all that, and you too.
There are many women to day thirst
ing for the word of praise, the language
of encouragement. Through summer
heat, and winters tell they have drudg.
ed uncomplainingly, and so accustomed
have their fathers, brothers and hus-
bands become to their monotonous Ia
bors that they look for and upon them
as they do the daily rising of the sun
and its daily going down. Homely ev-
cry day life may be made beautiful by
an appreciation of its very homeliness.
You know that if the floor is clean,
manual labor has been performed to
make it so. You know that if you can
take from your drawyer a clean shirt
whenever you want it, somebody's fin
gers have ached in the toll of making it
SO fresh and agreeable, so smooth and
lustrous. Everything that pleases the
eye and the sense has been produced by
constant work, much thought, great care
and untiring efforts, bodily and men
tally.
1t is not that many men do not ap-
preciate these things, and feel flow of
gratitude for the numberless attentions
bestowed upon them in sickness and in
health, but they afe SO selfish in that
feeling. They don't come out with a
hearty "Why, how pleasant you make
things look, wife," or, II am obliged to
you for taking so much pains They
thank the tailor for giving them ''fts;''
they thank the man in the full omnibus
who gives them seat; shey thank the
young lady who moves along in the
concert room, in short, they thank eve
rybody and everything out of doors, be-
cause it is the custom and come home
tip their chairs back and their heels up.
pull out the newspaper, grumblc if wife
asks them to take the baby, scold if the
fire has gone down, or, if everything is
just right, shut their mouths with q
smack of satisfaction, but never say to
her II thank you"
I tell you what, men. young and old,
if you did but show an ordinary civility
towards those common articles of house
keeping, your wives, if you gave the one
hundred and sixtieth part of the COM
pliments you almost checked them with
before they were married; if you would
stop the badinage about whom you are
going to have when number one is dead,
(such things wife may laugh at, but
they sink deep sometimes, } if you would
cease to speak of their faults however
banteringly, before others, fewer women
would seek for other sources of happi-
ness, than your cold so-so-ish affection
Praise your wife, then, for all good
qualities she has, and you may rest as
sured that her deficiencies are fully
counterbalanced by your own.

STOLEN AWAY.

Stolen awayl At the hushed hour
of twilight, while light was gathering
round the earth her mantle of shadows.
From a stately mansion enshrouded
with trees and all the surroundings that
wealth could buy, from chamber where
the curtains fell in graceful folds, the
brilliant carpet seemed like a garden of
flowers, the bed draped in pure white.
"Stolen away from there" The brill
fancy of the eye the dimpled cheek, the
ruby lips; ringing laugh and "#ihsom
way of a haxeh haired girl Of few
short years. But peace with its snowy
wings kissed the maiden, then she smil-
ed and prayed for strength to meet the
conflict. Yes stolen sway. From the
fond mother, kind father, and home cir :
Gle, this heart idol! the soul filled with
agony, the death damps gathered upon
her brow, and bitter tears of anguish
were shed as the dark angel took her
away. Stolen away. That poignancy
of grief that was mingled in the bitter
cup of woe. 'Those whom God loves
die early" and hope points upward to
heaven, where the cherished one shall
awake enraptured. On her brow an
impress of an angels kiss; and BY. her
side, company of loved ones, who tell
of joys unutterable, the gates of pearl,
the crystal throne, and multitudes in
white, who are baptised by that hallo%-
ed fire, the presence of the Lamb of
God who takes away the sins of tho
world.

"AND FIND YOURSELF. Two men
were talking in the street. As we ra-
pidly passed them, one of the speakers
finished a sentence with "and find your
self" The theme was undoubtedly
work and labor-something that some
body must do for so much a day, week,
a month, and find himself.
That '' find yourself is true of all
success in every department of life. A
man must " find himself" in a good
stock of resolution to begin with, a
steady purpose, and deal of patience:
He must " find himself" in everything
except the work to be done-the duty
to be performed and of work and labor
there can always be enough.
Many man seems to assume duty,
or attempt the performance of task,
with the idea that the ability to accom-
plish it, comes with the work-somc-
how 20 thrown in " to the bargain and
many a mans failure is attributed to
this queer halucination fact which
he discovers Just early enough to find
himself-nowhere

no, I will not hatter myself with vain

hausted upon the straw again, to court
Death.
Again was the sound repeated. She
sprang to her feet, and peeped out
through chink in the logs. Itwas in

eyes to her dungeon window, while man
ly tears streaked down his cheeks. go,

my stalwart fist, and snatch thee from

And he sank upon the ground in the
impotence of his rage and despair, and
hiding his face in the burdock leaves, he
howlcd aloud. I" Weep not my Rudolf
phus," said she, '' 1 will come to thee. -
So saying, the heroic girl descended to
the stable, and while the gnats and mos
quitoes thundcred about her fair head,
tearing up with her tiny hands an oaken
plank from the floor, she soon emerged
in the cow-yard. In an instant the
lovers were clasped in each others arms.
The donkey of Rudolphus stood near,
and folding his lovely burden to his
breast, the youth sprang into the saddle,
and murmuring in her ear sweet tales
of love in foreign cline, they galloped
away like streak of creased lightning.
TIE end!

THEW1LL AND THE WAY.-I learne

THE WILL AND THE WAY-I learned
grammer when I. was private soldie
on the pay of sixpence per day. The
edge of my berth, or that of my guard
bed, was my seat to study in, my KNAPP
sack my book case, and bit of board
lying on my lap was my writing table.
L had no money to purchase candle or
oil; in winter it was rarely that 1 could
get any light but the fire, and only my
turn even of that. To buy pen or
piece of paper I was compelled to fore
go some portion of my food, though in
a state of half starvation. I had not a
moment to call my own and had to
read and write amid the talking, laugh
ing, singing, whistling, and bawling of
at least half score of the most reckless
men, and that too in their hours of free
dom from our control. And say if I,
under these circumstances, could en-
counter and overcome the task, is there,
can there be, in the whole world, youth
who can find an excuse for the non per
formance p Goblet.
