Plain Talk.

Go out into the open air, young women,
and add lustre to your eyes, bloom to your
checks, elasticity to your steps, and vigcr to
your frames! Take exercise; loose yol.r cor
set strings and run up hill for wager; and
down again for fun; roam the fields, climb
the fences, leap the bitches, wade the brooks,
and after a day Of unrestrained liberty. 90
home with an appetite acquired by healthful
enjoyment. The blooming and beautiful
young woman--rosy checked and bright eyed
who can darn a stocking, mcnl her own
frocks, command a regiment of pots and kct-
ties, feed the pigs, milk the cows, and be a
lady when required, is the girl that can make
a good wife. But the pining, screwed up,
wasp waisted, ,dol-drcssed, ,consumptivc-m mort
eagel, music Numbering and novel devourng
daughters of fashion and ideness, are no
more fit for matrimony than pullett is to
look after brood oflourteen chickens. The
truth is. girls want less fashionable restraint
and more liberty of action; more kitchen and
less paror; more leg exercise and less sofa;
more pudding and less piano; more frank
ness and less mock modesty.

4 Child I'm Heaven.

A clergyman lost child. A brother
minister attended the funeral and at the
close of his remarks, the father Of the
deceased child arose and spoke as follows
to the people who were present.
When | have sought to minister to
you consolation in the time of your nf.
hictiob, and weeping with your dying
children, you have often said to me that
knew nothing of the anguish, and could
not sympathize with yon in your loss -
| feel it now; | never did before.
Then he directed them to the source
of his comfort and support, and invited
all to the fountain of living waters. His
house stood on hillside, overlooking a
beautiful river, on the other side of which
we're luturiant fields. Abiding to this,
he continued:
Often, as | have stood on the borders
of this stream, looked over to the fair
gelds, on the other shore, | have felt but
little interest in the people of the place
in full view before me. The river sep
arates me from them, and my thoughts
and my affections were here But few
months ago, one of my children moved
across to the other side, and took up his
residence there. Since then my heart
has been there also. In the morning
when | rise and look out towards the
east, ! think of my child who is over
there; and again and again through the
day | think of him and the other side of
the river is always in my thoughts, with
the child who has gone there. And nov,
since another of my children has crossed
the river of death aud has gone to dwell
on the other side, my heart is drawn cut
towards Heaven. as it was never drawn
before. Isupposed that heaven was dear
to me, that my Father was there, and
my friends werc there, and that | had n
great interest in Heaven; but | had no
child there, now | have, and | never
think, and never shall think of Ilca5-
en-, but the memory of that dear child
who is among its inhabitants forever

Our Turn Must Come.

Generation after generation, says fine
writer, have felt as we now feel, and theil
lives were as active rs our own. They have
passed like vapor, while nature wore the
same aspect of beauty rs when her Creator
commanded her to be- The heavens shall be
as bright over our graves ns they are now a.
round otr paths. The world will have the
same attraction for our offspring unborn, that
she had once for lis as children. Yet little
while and all will have lnppehei. The
throbbipg heart will lie stifled and we will
be at rest. Our funeral will find It's way and
prayers will be said, and then we shall be
left alone in silence and in darkness for the
worms and it may be for short time we
shall be spoken OF, but the things of life will
creep in, and our names will be forgotten. -
Days will continue to move on, and laugh
ter and song will be heard in the room in
which we died; and the eye that mourned for
us will be dried and glistcn again with JOY;
and even our children will cease to think OF
lis, and will not remember nor lisp our
names.

4 Curious Case.

Last night says the Toronto Leader Of the
2ls, inst, man was seen sitting IN a sleep
ing posture in one Of our streets, by police
man. The policeman shook him, the man
fell over. The policeman raised him up, the
man remained standing. The policeman a.
gain shook him; the man again fell over
lie was again placed on his legs. He re-
mained there. The policeman cnde,vored
to find out who the individual was where he
was going and to where he care from. The
man remained dumb and insensible. and
seemed utterly unconcious Of what was going
forward. His eyes were open and bent on
the ground, his head inclined forward. Az
ter contemplating this phenomenon for some
time, the policeman had him removed to the
station house. There was nos the slightest
appearance of the man being in liquor. Doc
tors were called in but they could make moth
ing of him. Various methods was rcsorted
to, to rouse him up, but withGnt success
Strong smelling salts were applied to his noG-
tils. but not a muscle NOV d. 4 lancet was
pushed under his thumb, not a nerve quver-

American National Airs.

4 From the New York Musical Review |
We believe that not one of the three
national airs of the United States is
strictly an original American compos =
ton. Their history is not in every case
fully ascertaiued, but is somewhat as
follows: Yankee Doodle is said, by most
critics. to have been the composition of
an English physician, aud to date back
to the French wars, when it was compo-
sed in dcrision of the appearance of the
volunteers from the colonies who assis-
ted the British regulars. by others it
il said to date as far back as the time of
Cromwell. 1t was certainly known in
England before the American Revolu-
ton, and was sung in derision Of the
Bostonians by the .oldicrs who garrison
cd that city. But the laugh turning to
the other side at the retreat of Concord
and Lexington, and the people thus in
Iauguratins the revolt, made the troops
dance their way back to the same tune
their bands had playet as they marched
Since that time the air has been ma
iional one and American hearts have ex-
ultingly responded to it in every age,
and in all lands,
The music of the 'Star Spangled Ban
ncr' is an old English air, unce bearing
the title We believe. of 'Anacrcon in
Heaven Robert Treat Paine adapted
ito this air one of his popular songs,
Adams and liberty during the life Of
Washington, one verse of which was in
ipraise of his Country. But it was not
until 1911 that Francis Scott Key, then
a young lawyer, composed the present
worls in remembrance of the lombard
went of Fort McHenry, when Baltimore
I vas besieged by the British feet; the
sight of the national banner proudly
floating amid the carnage and destruc-

4 Generous Criminal.

4 young man recently made his es-
cape from the galleys at Toulouse. He
was strong and vigorous, and soon made
his way across the country, aud escaped
the pursuit He arrived next morning
before the cottage in an open field, and
stopped to beg something to cat, and for
conccalment while he reposcd little. -
! But he found the inmates of the cottage
in the greatest distress. -Four little chill
dren sat trembling in corner: their
mother was weeping and tearing her
hair, and the father walked the floor i'll
agony.
The galley slave asked what was the
matter, and the father replied that they
were that morning to be turned out OF
! doors because they could not pay the
| rent.
You see me driven to despair said
the father, my wife and little children
without food or shelter, and [ without
means to provide any for them
The convict listened to this tale with
tears of sympathy, and then said.
i will give you means. | have iust
escaped from the gaIleys; whoever secu-
res and takes back an escaped prisoner
is entitled to reward of fifty francs
How much does your rent amount to-
Forty Francs answered the father
"well," f" said the other, put cord a
round my body; will follow you to the
city; they will recognize NE, and you
will get fifty francs for bringing me
back
No, ncvcr" exclaimed the astonishcd
listener my children should starvc do
zen times before | would do so base a
thing.
The generous young man insisted, and
declared, at last, tha. he would 60 and
give himself Up, if the father would not
consent to take him After long
struggle, tho latter yielded and taking
his preserver by the arm led him to tho
city and to the mayors Office.
Everybody was surprised that little
man like the father had been able to
capture such a strong young man but
the pto,f was before them The fifty
francs were paid, and the pris,ner sent
back to the galloys. But after he wac
gone, the fathe 7 asked the private inter
view of the mayor, to whom he told the
whole story.
The mayor was much affected, that lie
not only added fifty mere francs more to
the fathers purse, hut wrote immediate
y to the minister of justice begging the
noble young prisoners release. The
minister Examined into the affair, and
finding that it was comparatively small
olieuce which had condemned the young
man to the galleys, and that he had al
ready served out half his time, ordered
his release. Is not the whole incident

And the patient. pale face hid

But thy image dwells in our hearts to-day
Looking as thcu didst ere thou passed away

And the faith that in them lies,
Telling of the fair, bright place
Where saints see a Saviour's face
There thy spirit dwells free from care to day
Lovely, good, and pure, as thou vert already
Happy in thy hallowed place,
Seeing here his holy face,
And his praises all day long
Chanting in thy heavenly song.
When ycxed by cares and harraSsed by dS:

The storms of Fortune chill the soul with
dread.
Yet Love. consoling Love shall swectly bless
And his assuasivc balm beniguly shed;
His downy plumnse DER thy pillows spread.
Shall ull thy weeping torrows to repose:
To Love the tender heart hath ever fled,
As on its mothers breast the infant throws
l,s sobbing face, and there in sleep forgets its
woes
