No Secret, Doctor.

~ noticed" said Franklin, ga me-
chanic, among number of others, at
work on house erecting but little way
from my office, who always appeared to
be in a merry humor; who had a kind
and cheerful smile for every one he met.
Let the day be ever so cold, gloomy or
sunless, a happy smile danced like sun
beam on his cheerful countenance Meet
ing him one morning, I asked him to tell
me the secret of his constant happy flow
of spirits. "No secret, DOCTOR" he re-
piled, " [ have got one of the best wives,
and when 60 to work she always has a
kind word of encouragement for me and
when l 60 home she meets me with a
smile and kiss and then tea is sure to be
ready; and she has done so many little
things to please me, that cannot find it
in my heart to speak an unkind word to
anybody"
What influence then has woman over
the heart of man to soften it, and make
it the foundation of cheerful and pure
emotions? Speak gently then; kind
greeting after the tolls of the day are
over, costs nothing, and goes far towards
making home happy and peaceful
Young wives and girls, candidates for
wives, should keep this in mind; as to
older wives, experience may have already
taught them this important lesson. And
what we say to wives, we say also to
husbands, a loving word and kiss go
very far with woman.

Didn't Take the Papers.

When our troops under General Me-
Clellan, penetrated the mountain range
of West Virginia, in May, 1861, they
encountered in quiet nook on the side
of Laurel Ridge venerable matron
standing in the door of a log cabin. One
Of the men accosted her with
"Well, old lady, where's your fag?"
81 hain't got no flag" was the
prompt reply.
"Well, then, which side are you
for ?"
81 don't know what you mean" she an
swered, in astonishment.
Are you secesh ?" asked the man,
amused at her ignorance.
/" No, l hain't," she rejoined, emphati :
cally:
g Are you Union?"
No, | tell you"
"Well, what are you?"

Advice to Boys.

When about fourteen years of are,
Johny L. was left an orphan. His
father had a few years before died
drunkard; his mother, when dying, call
ed her only son to her side, and placing
her emaciated hand on his head, she said:
"Johny, my dear boy, I am going to
leave you; you well know what disgrace
and misery your father brought on us be
fore his death and I want you to promise
me before 1 die that you will not taste the
poison that killed your father; promise
me this, Johny, and be a good boy, and
and l shall die happy"
The scalding tears trickled down Johns
cheeks, as he promised to remember his
mothers dying words
After his mother was buried, John,
friendless and alone, went to neighbor-
ing city to seek employment. There he
soon fell into bad company, and forgot the
promise he had made to his mother.
So far as mother conld train son
with the bad example of father constant
ly before his eyes, Johny's mother had
trained him and given him good educa-
ton. One day in looking over the pa
pers, he noticed that a merchant wanted
an office lad about his age.
"Walk in, my lad" said the merchant,
as John appeared at the door butsas he
took a seat near him, the merchant OBJ
served a cigar in his hat That was
enough.
"My boy" said he, II want smart
honest, faithful lad, but 1 see that you
smoke cigars, and in my experience of
many years I have ever found cigar
smoking lads to be connected with other
evil habits, and if am not mistaken,
your breath is an evidence that yon are
not an exception; you can leave; you
will not suit"
John held down his head, left and
went to his room, where, throwing him
self upon the bed, he wept bitterly.
But John had moral courage, energy
and determination, and in less than an
hour he was in the merchants office,
whom he thus addressed " Sir, you very
properly sent me away this morning for
habits that I have been guilty of; but,
sir, have neither father nor mother
and though l have not followed the good
advice of my mother on her death-bed,
nor done as promised her l would do
yet l have now made solemn promise
never to drink another drop of liquor nor
smoke another cigar; and if you, sir,
will only try me, it is all ask"
The merchant did try him, and at the
end offive years John was partner in
the business, and is now rich man and
Christian.

FOOTSTEPS AT THE DOOR.

The day is done, and swift draws nigh
The twilight hour, serene and sweet;
The busy crowds go hurrying by
With steady thud of thronging feet,
In many home glad watchers wait,
AS they have oft waited before,
To hear hand upon the gate
And well-known footsteps at the door,
Some list for feet that, still and cold,
No more the paths of life may tread,
And miss the strong arms loving fold,
The tender words so often said.
Alas for such the desOlate,
Who half eXpectant, as of yore,
Still chide the foolish hearts that wait
For those returning, nevermore
Still pass the thronging myriads by,
Nor hear the mourners, watching lone
The babes who for their fathers cry,
The wives whose light of life is gone;
And some their sadder vigils keep
For living lost ones, mourning sore,
And listening, fearand writhing weep,
And dread their footsteps at the door,

A Thrilling Revolutionary Tale.

NOD is everywhere. His words are in
VI the heart. He is on the battlefield
and in our peaceful homes. Praise His
holy name.
1t was in the wilds of Wissahicon, on
the day of battle, as the monday sun
came through the thickly clustered leaves,
that two men met in deadly conflict near
the reef which rose like some primeval
world at least thousand feet, above the
dark waters of the Wissahicon.
The man with dark brown face, grey
eyes, flashing with deadly light, and a
muscular form clad in a blue frock of the
Revolution, is continental named
Warren.
The other, with long black hair droop-
ing along his cadaverous face, is clad
in the halfmilitary costume of tory
refugee. This is a murderer of Paoli
named Delaney.
They met by an accident, and now they
fought not with sword and rife, but
