There seems to be four styles of minds:
lst Them persons who knows it's SO
ID Them who knows it amt so.
Sd. Them Phellers who split the diff
ference and guess at it.
4th. Them who don't care wich way a
thing goes
Thare is but few men haz character I
enuff to lead life ov idleness.
Them who retire from the world on ac- |
count of its sins and peskincss must not
forget that they have yet to keep COM
pany with person who wants as much
watching as ennybody else
Necessity bcgot invention, invention
besot convenience, convenience begot
pleasure, pleasure begot luxury, luxury
begot riot and disease, riot and disease.
between them, begot poverty, and power
ty begot necessity again-and all this is
u revolution OF man, and is about all he
can bring on.

An individual, to be fine gentleman,
has either got to be born SO, or brought
so from infancy; he can't learn it sud

THE WILL FOR TIE DEED.-''I must
not forget those stockings there is a bas-
ket full this week"
Jennie's mother said this in wearied
way. The little girl was playing IN her
roo IN, and began to think about helping
her
f'Where are they ?" she asked.
tIn the sitting room, the mother an
swered, and thought no more about It.
An hour later she went down stairs
There sat Jennie in the large arm
chair by the open window, the basket on
the table before her, and her little fingers
very busy.
Mother" said she looking up with a
bright smile, ''you have twelve pairs OF
stockings and I've done half of them :
Jennie had given ur whole hour 5
play to help and relieve her mother !;
but she was a very little girl and she had
made a mistake She had sewed the
holes over aud over. And she meant to
do her best, the stitches were close and
tight Her mother knew that it would
be at least an hours work to rip them
out, but she would not disappoint the
loving heart by letting her know she had
not fully succeeded. She said only.
"well, you're dear, good little girl, and
now you may run out and play
Away went Jennie, very happy in the
thought that she had helped her mother.
And she had for the kindness and love
she had shown her ware more precious to
that mothers heart than gold, aud light
ened her care. Pleasant thoughts kept
company and made her needle move faster.
All Of US little folks, and grown folks,
are liable TO make mistakes, even when
We really try to DO right But the love
of Christ is only shadowed forth feintly
by that mothers love. He, too, takes
the will for the deed; whItever IS done
out Of love as done to him, and sees that
no true effort is lost, but makes it to do
good some time, some way, whether We
see it or not ermoHt Chronicle.
