faro Ia q Bed.
Ned and Charley are two room-mates,
but they occupy different beds. Ned s
sleeping apparatus was so situated that he
could get in on either side-that Is to say;
there were two fore-sides which Ned
found very convenient.
One night, Ned and Charley had been
out, and on returning, which they did
near morning, both were considerably Ella
ted However, they walked to their room
with an air that seemed to say, not so
drunk after all, and sought long and
patiently for matches and lamp. After
knocking the pitcher off the wash-stand,
and smashing the loOking-glass, they final
" gave up the search and went to bed.
Went to bed-yes that's the word, but
owing to the darkness and confusion Of
their senses they made a slight mistake.
In short, n eds bed had the honor of re-
ceiying the two friends-Charley getting
in on one side, and his friend rolling in
II say Ned" cried Charley, touching
somebody's calf, there's a fellow in my
bed y
Wonderful coincidence, exclaimed
Ned, feeling a strange elbow in the neigh
borhood of his ribs; there's one in my
bed too
rs there ?'' cried Charley ''let's kick
'em out
Agreed - said Ned.
And accordingly the two friends began
to kick It lasted about a miBute and a
halt, and Ned was sprawling On the floor.
Charley was left in possession OF the bed.
For a moment all was silent.
Il say, Ned, cried Charley.
''What?'' asked Ned, sulkily
''I've kicked my fellow out
''You are luckier than | am. said Ned
s'for mine has kicked me out.

A WOMAN'S STRATEGY.
BY CHAs. GUTTERFIELD.

moved to the southern part of ILL
nois from North Carolina My aged moth,
er was with me, and younger brother,
when | left the old North State, and
sister onl two years younger than my
self Soon after reaching our destination
my mother died, and shortly after this
sad event, my younger brother returned
Go Carolina. He was only eighteen years
old. and the hardships incident to new
country. and the want of society, induced
in him home sickness SO he went back
over the road we had travelled, and my
sister and myself were left alone, to face
the rough scenes of pioneer life.
We lived in a log cabin, situated near
the timbe and facing one of the richest
prairies of the State, and we were only
seven miles from ncighbors. The popu-
lation then in that section, was made up
of rough and somewhat desperate class
of people, quite different undoubtedly,
from what it is at the present time :;
though, as we have not visited the State
in these twelve years | cannot speak with
certainty of the morals of the inhabitants.
We found no trouble, however, in getting
along, as we associated little with our
neigh bors. and made it point to attend
to our own affairs.
Ny sister was small woman, but ex
cccdingly courageous and energetic. |
have seen few women who possessed such
tenacity of purpose when her mind was
once made up. and few women able to en-
dure the hardships and exposure, which
she bore easily. She was feminine, in the
highest sense of the word, but knew
nothing of timidity. She had been edu-
Gated to sclf.reliance, and she gloried in
her power to do her part in any enterprise.
Though born and bred in the South, she
had been educated in the more prosperous
days of our family, at the North. ] wish
to speak justly of my sister. know she
had the qualities to win love. as we'll as
the power to inspire hatred.
We had been there less than year,
when. at the close Of an oppressively hot
day in August, stranger called, and ask
ed shelter for tho night. IL so happened
that was about to start for the village
not expecting to return before midnight
I chose that evening for the journey part
" because my time was precious at that
season Of the year, and partly on account
of the heat The evenings were cooler
and therefore the trip could be made mor'
comfortably in the evening 1t was
little singular, | thought that maj

specially so. and Of coor'e we could no

KIND.


Thou wilt go thy way and will go mine;
The cold world will step out between thee and
me;
Yet sweet round my life l will ever eRtwine,
Remembrance of kindnesses given by thee.
Small things the world calls them, but o, in my
heart
The joy they have wakened shall never depart
Words, when the heart felt the need of them most,
Kindly, and freely, and tenderly said
They come back to me now, bright, fragrant
host,
Sweetness and beauty around me to shed.
Though tones of all music should breath in my ear
The words thou hast spoken will ever seem near.
Deeds, when none n oticed them needful but thou,
Kindly, and gladly, and thoughtfully done
I'm gathering up the sweet memories now,
And none shall eiface them or wither them
Though men should give homage and brave acts
of love,
Thy sweet deeds of kindness would stand far
above.
Smiles, when the shadowed heart needed their
light,
Kindly and sweetly and hopefully shed
Fragrant with sympathy, earnest and bright,
More than all language from others had said
Though friends through my life should all loving
ly ,mie,
The mem'ry of thine would be swecter the while.
Thou wilt go thy way and I will go mine
! Chances and changes will come unto each
Yet pray | our Father all blessings be thine
! All love and all sweetness thy pathway Ger
reach.
May friends give a thousand-fod over to thee,
The kindness thou always hast shown unto me
