ture in the village, and my friend went,
not to hear Cough, but to see Miss Jennie
Morton at distance. Somehow, in the
stupefaction of revived hope, he had not
thought of going to the house to see her
yet. He had postponed his departure, and
had thrown away his scruples. Knowing
how much opposition he would have to
contend with, he thought, if he thought at
all, that he must proceed with caution.
But some time after the lecture began, he
discovered the Morton family, without
Jenniel Slowly it dawned upon him. She
was at home, waiting for him. He was
near the front of the church, in which the
lecture was held, and every inch of aisle
easy. But as he thought of Jennie wait
ing, it became matter of life and death.
If the house had been on fire, he would
not have been more intent on making his
exit. He reached the door, he passed the
happiest evening of his life, only to awake
to sorrow, for Jennie's father is dead set
against the match"
He has no right to interfere" said the
doctor, vehemently. "You see stand by
my principles"
"But if tell the story out, am afraid
you would not" said Hubert
"Why, isn't it done?''
"I beg your pardon, doctor, for having
used little craft. l had much at stake I
have disguised this story in it's details. But
it is true 1 am the hero"
The doctor looked quickly towards his
daughter. Her head was bent low over
her book. Her long hair hung about it
like a curtain, shutting out all view of the
face. The doctor walked to the other
window and looked out. Hubert sat like
mummy. After minute, DR.. Hood
spoke.

She lifted face that was afame Tears
glistened in her eyes, and 1 doubt not there
was prayer in her heart.
You are brave girl. I had other
plans. You have a right to choose for
yourself. God bless you both. But it's a
great pity HUI is not lawyer. He pleads
we'll" So saying, he put on his hat and
This is the conversation that Hubert re-
peated to me that day sitting in his own lit
tie parsonage in Allenville. A minute after
his wife came in. She had been prescrib-
ing for the minor ailments of some poor
neighbors. She took the baby from her
crib, and bent over her till that same long
hair curtained mother and child from
sight.

who write love stories make great mis-
take in stopping at marriage. The honey
moon never truly begins until conjugal af-
fection is enriched by this holy partner
ship of loving hearts in the life of child.
The climax of love story is not the we'd
ding. 1t is the baby"
"What do you call herr" asked.
"Hope," said the mother.
"Hope Valentine" added the father
with significant smile.
And you spell the hope with an "a ]

At this point he hesitated, put the cor
ner of his apron to his eye, burst into
tears and sat down, totally overcome by
the allusion to himself and by the novelty
of the situation. Cicero, who was lad at
the same school, made fun of Demosthenes,
asking him, derisively, if he hadn't better
go and hire out for an orator.

Preservation of Boots and Shoes.

THE extreme heat in which most men
and women expose boots and shoes during
winter deprives leather of its vitality, rem
dering it liableto break and crack. When
leather becomes so warm as to give off
the smell of leather, it is singed. Close
rubber shoes also destroy the life of leather.
All varnishes and all backing containing
the properties of varnish should be
avoided. Shoe leather is greatly abused.
Persons know nothing or care less about
the kind of material used than about the
polish produced. Vitrol backing is used
until every particle of oil in the leather is
DESTROYED. To remedy this abuse the
leather should be washed once month
with warm water; and when about half
dry, a coat of oil and tallow should be ap-
piled. and the boots set aside for day or
two. This will renew the elasticity and
life of the leather, and when thus used the
upper leather will seldom crack or break.
What Business to Enter Upon--A
Young man who says he is about to enter
upon business for himself, does not know
what To do. He does not like farming,
but thinks he would like to be mechanic,
if that is as profitable. Asks what he shall
do. We answer, do that which you think
YOU like and can do best. Decide; go to
work and struggle to excel; be honest,
faithful, industrious and economical and
YOU will find one business as prontaole as
the other. 1t does not depend so much
upon the kind of business whether you
succeed or not, as it does upon yOursetJ.-

My only recoollection of Demosthenes
is his attempting to speak piece at dis

and breaking down. He was reciting the
familiar lines:

The Education of Boys.

A WRITER in the Providence Or. ~
Journal offers wellconsidered advice, as
follows:
Each child has natural aptitude for,
and qualification in, some especial study,
employment or pursuit. One takes to
music, another to mathematics; some boy
turn spontaneously to mercantile under
takings, others are born book worms; it is
the duty of parents to acquaint themselves
with, and direct these inherent tastes Few
people can do many things well, but almost
all, with the proper training, could perform
successfully, if not with marked auperiori-
ty, In some one line of life. Superadded,
then, to the general education requisite I'M
all conditions, there should be the full
development of any particular valuable
faculty.
Excellent are our common and high
schools, and important as may be col
leg1ate education, there is the further neces-
slty-f the highest attainable point is to
be reached-that the dedication of the life
be made to that calling which the natural
capacity of the youth best fits him for.
A large proportion of those who are
stranded in the early part of the voyage of
life, are wrecked because they, or others
Tor them, have mistaken their vocation.
They go on year after year, like an axle
that is always either rubbing in its bear
1ngs, or hot from friction. They may rub
through with decent success, but it is by
hard effort and with an abiding dissatis-
faction. We are inclined to think that the
rage for entering professional life is some
what abating, it having given place to that
thirst for gold which is promised speedier
satisfaction in commercial life. But every
youngsteI desires to begin where his father
left oil, and most are likely to leave off
where their father began-in poverty.
