golden fruits thereof. The young man
who was in the habit of giving his arm
to his sister as they walked TO and from
church, will never leave his wife to find
her way as best she can. The young man
who has been taught to see that his sister
had seat before he sought his, will never
mortify neglected wife in the presence
of strangers. And that young man who
always handed his sister to her chair at
the table, will never have cause to blush
as he sees some gentleman extend to his

About Children.

DIR. o. w. HOLMES, in the February At

The Old Master, who is a bachelor, has
a kindly feeling for this little monkey,
and those of his kind.
81 like children" he said to me one
day at table. 81 like 'em, and | respect
'em. Pretty much all the honest truth
telling there is in the world is done by
them. Do you know they play the part
in the household which the kings jester,
who very often had a mighty long head
under his cap and bells, used to play for
a monarch? There's no radical club like
a nest of little folks in nursery. Did
you ever watch babys fingersg ] have,
often enough, though never knew what
it was to own one.' The Master paused
half minute or so, sighed-perhaps at
thinking what he had missed in life
looked up at me little vacantly. / saw
what was the matter; he had lost the
thread of his talk.
"Baby's fingers" intercalated.
'Yes, yes did you ever see how they
will poke those wonderful little fingers of
theirs into every fold, and crack, and
crevice they can get atY That is their
first education-feeling their way into
the solid facts of the material world
When they begin to talk, it is the same
thing over and over again in another
shape If there is a crack or flaw in
your answer to their confounded shoul-
der-hitting questions, they will poke and
poke until they have got it gaping, just as
the baby's fingers have made rent out of
that atom of hole in his pinafore that
your old eyes never took notice Of Then
they make such fools of us by copying,
on small scale, what we do in the grand
manner"

Guard Your Health and Life.

How inconsistent is human nature. Men carry

against disease in the most unhealthy seasons.
Thousands of dyspcptics and other invalds are
now languishing IN sick rooms, feebly and list

forlorn condition solely to a want OF common pru-
dence. Far more inimical than the roughs and
rowdies, against whose possible attacks the timid
arm themselves. are the morbid elements that per-
wade the atmosphere at this time of the year, and
yet although II is an undenied and undeniabe fact
that Hostctter's Stomach Bitters afford per

any weapon Of Oifcnse can afford against lawless
violence, the reckless and inconsiderate continue
to brave the danger with positive safeguard with

Every day, however. the number of these mar.

the inestimabe value of the Bitters. both as an an

Paper Toys.

CHILDREN find wonderful pleasure in
the use of scissors. Give them something
that it is lawful to cut, or they will proba-
bly, cut off ther eye-lashes or the front
locks of their hair, or scallop their own
little frocks. AT first they cut for the
pure pleasure of cutting, but soon they
want to "make something" Paper-cut-
ting is one of the occupations of the

If any one has ever wanted to laugh
when it would have been the height of
impropriety to have even smiled, they
may be reminded of their feelings on such
occasions by the following good story: In
an Episcopal boarding-schoo few years
since, the scholars and teachers were assem-
bled for morning prayer. The reading and
singing were over, and all were resumng
their seats, when one of the young ladies,
of very short and thick stature, missing
her chair, seated herself with "thud "
ON the floor. Nobody smiled. All were
too decorous for that. The fallen one,
embarrassed into momentary loss of COM
mon sense, retained her lowly seat, open
ed her prayer-book, and appeared to be
earnestly engaged in examining its con.
tents. This was almost too much for her
companions, and smile began to strug.

scholars turned red in their faces, and

Morbid Sorrow.

Too often it is the case that men re-
member their sorrow, and do not register
their joy. But even under afflictiOn, if
men did but know it, there are musical
tones which might strike through the re.
quiem's wall. There are lights that might
illumine their dark, Rembrandtian sor-
rows. Men fall into mania. Sorrow
takes on diseased form. 1t becomes
morbid 1t whets and stimulates itself.
1t ferments. 1t Overflows. 1t tinges the
whole mind from top to bottom with its
color. As just after a drenching rain
every twig on the tree is fringed with
drops, and every leaf weeps; and, as
when some gust of wind strikes it, the
tree rains again, as if it were a cloud;
so, when sad experience comes upon us,
we are apt to be remorseless with our
selves, and to work upon our own sus-
capabilities. We do not put hope over
against despair, and cheer over against
gloom. Therefore, much of the suffering
which men have in life, much of the
gloom which they are under, results
from the not using of themselves wisely.
| see in many who come TO me morbid
taste for suffering. Ii is hideous form
of excitement, Persons at last even come
to a state in which they want to suffer-
or rather, want to be thought to suffer.
They want to reap in the fields of SYM
pathy this abnormal, and, what seems to
me, hideous praise of seeming to suffer.
Sometimes no greater offense can be Civ
en- than to compliment persons on their
health, and happiness, and prosperity.
For they are martyrs, and they walk un
der cape of sadness; and not to recog-
nize that, is to deny them the chief pleas
ure, almost of their life. To be misera-
bic is their joyl-Beecher.
