Obedience to Parents.

Show me boy who obeys his parents
who has respect for age, always has friend
ly disposition, and who applies himself dill
gently to get wisdom and to do good toward
others, and if he is not respected and belov
ed, then there is no such thing as truth il
the world
"Even when parents are i'll tempered and
unreasonable they should be treated with
respect and forbearance by their children.
Olympias, mother of Alexander the Great,
was woman of ambitious disposition, and
occasioned much trouble to her SON New
ertheless, when pursuing his conquests in
Asia, be sent her many splendid presents
out of the spoils which he had taken, as to-
kens Of his affection. He only begged that
she should not NEEDLE with the state affairs,
but allow his kingdom to be managed peace
ably by his governor, Antipater. When
she sent harsh reply to the request which
he had made. he bore it patiently, and did
not use sharp language in return.
On one occasion, when she had been un-
usually troublesome Antipater sent him let
tiers. complaining of her in very grievous
terms. Alexander only said, ''Antipater
does not know that one single tear of my
mother is able to blot out six hundred of
his epistles.'
A boy was once tempted by some of his
companions to pluck ripe cherries from
tree which his father had forbidden him to
touch
you need not be afraid" said one Of his
companions, ''for if your father should find
out that you have taken them he is so kind
he would not hurt you"
"That is the very reason" replied the
boy ''why would not touch them 1t is
true that my father would not touch me,
yet my disobedience, I know, would hurt
my father and that would be worse to me
than anything eise''
A boy who grows up with such principles
will be man in the best sense of the word
1t shows regard for rectitude that would
render him trustworthy under every trial.

Did he ever have the jumping toothache

Did he ever get up in the mornin' auful

Did he ever undertake to milk kicking

Poetry.
Only Il Word.

A frivolous word, a sharp retort,
A parting in angry haste,
The sun that rose in a bower of bliss,
The loving look and the tender kiss,
Has set on barren waste,
Where pilgrims tread with weary feet,
Paths destined never more to meet.
A frivolous word, a sharp retort,
A moment that blotS out years,
Two lives are wrecked on stormy shore,
Where pillows of passion surge and roar
To break in spray OF tears;
Tears shed to blind the severed pair
Drifting seward and drowning there.
frivolous word, sharp retort,
A flash from a passing cloud,
Two hearts are scathed to their lnmost core,
Are ashes and dust for evermore;
Two faces turn to the crowd,
Masked by pride with q lifelong lie.
To hide the scars of that agony.
A frivolous word, a sharp retort,
An arrow at random sped,
It has cut in twain the mystic tie
That had bound two souls in harmony,
Sweet love lies bleeding or dead.
A poisoned shaft with scarce an aim
Has done q mischief sad as shame.
frivolous word a sharp retort,
Alas! for the loves and lives
So little cause has rent apart;
Tearing the fondest heart from heart
As a whirlwind rends the rives,
Never to reunite again,
But live and die in secret pain.
A frivolous word, sharp retort,
Alas that it should be so!
The petulant speech, the careless tongue,
Have wrought more evil and done more Wron
Have brought to the world more woe
Than all the armies age to age
Records on histIy's blsod-stained page.

COP BLESS YoU.-Who has not felt the
power of these words ? Who does not trea-

revocable past when from the lips Of SOME
loved one fell upon your ears "God bless
YOU" that found an echo in the truest and
purest feelings of the heart ? A God bless
you that will 60 with US through life, and
bring peace and comfort when all things else
are shrouded in gloom and no joy seems
awaiting tho heart SO long acquainted with
sorrow. Dying lips in feeble accents have
murmurcd God bless you. 1t greets the
ear of infancy and reclaims the hayward
youth 1t has been heard at the bridal and
said at the tomb. Loved voices breathed it
in our ears when we parted, and the sonnd
still fingers to cheer our saddened hearts -
Oh may we hear it through life, and when
We stand on the brink Of these waters
which flow between time and eternity, may
the last words that break upon our listsning 3
ears be the God bless you which comes from
the lips Of loved ones left behind

Forgive tbyself nothing and others much.

RICHES. -The man with good, firm health
is rich
So is man the with a good, clear con-
science.
So is the parent of vigorous, happy child

So is the clergyman whose coat the little
children pluck, as he rasses them in their
play.
So that wife who has the whole heart of a
good husband.
So is the maiden whose horizon is not
bounded by the coming man." but who
has purpose in life, whether she ever met
him or not
So is the young man who, laying his hand
on his heart, can say, Il have treated every
woman ever saw as I should wish my sis

So is the little child who goes to SLEEP
with kiss on its lips and for whose waking
