STICK TO YOUR BUSH
4 True story.

Mr.. Morgan was rich and, also,a
good man. The people of the town
respected him, sent him TO Parli-.
ment and seldom undertook any
thing without asking his advice. If
a school house was to be built, the
plan had to be talked over with him.
Willow asked him what she
should plant in her field; farmer
s. always got his advice in buy
ing cattle, and Mrs, R consulted
him about bringing up her boys.
When asked how he was so sue
cessful, Mr.. Morgan replied: 81
will tell you how 1t was. One day,
when l was a lad, a party of boys
and girls were going to a distant
pasture to pick whortleberries. L
wanted to go with them, but was
fearful that my father would not let
me. When l told him what was go
ing on, and he gave me permission
to 90 with them, | could hardlycOn-
tain myself for joy, and rushed into
the kitchen and got a big basket
on my ann, and was just going out
OF the gate, when my father called
me back. lie took me by the hand
anu Sdlus III Il SCAAAG NOANC
"JOseph, what are you going for,
to pick berries, or to play :"
ITO pick berries,' ] replied.
"Then, Joseph,I want to tell you
one thing; it is this 4: When you find
a pretty good bush, do no not leave
it to find better one. The other
boys and girls viii run about pick
ing little here and a little there,
wasting a great deal of time, and not
getting many berries. Ifyou do as
they do, you will come with an
empty basket. If you want berries,
stick to your bush.
Il went with the party, and we
had a capital time. But it was Just
as my father said. No sooner had
one found a good bush then he
called all the rest, and they left their
several places and ran of to the new
found treasure. Not content more
than n minute or two in one place,
they rambied over the whole pasture
got very tired, and at night had but
very few berries. My fathers words
kept ringing in my ears, and stuck
to my bush. When had done with
one, | found another, and finished
that then | took another. When
night came. had a large basket full
of nice berries, more than all the
others put together, and was not
half so tired as they were. | went
home happy; but when l entered.
found that my father had been taken
i'll. He looked at my basket full of
ripe berries, and said:
"Wel done, Joseph" Was il not
just as told you? Always stick
to your BUSH"
"He died a few days after, and !
had to make my way into the world
as best l could. But my fathers
words sunk deep into my mind.and
1 never forgot the experience of the
whUrtlebeTry party-I stuck to my
bush. When l had a fair place, and
was doing tolerably well, l did not
leave itand spend weeks and months
in finding one little better. When
other young men said, come with
US, and we will make a fortune in a
few weeks" l shook my head and
stuck to my bush. Presently my
employers offered to take me into
business with them. l STAYED with
the old house uptil the principals
died, and then l had everything l
wanted. The habit Of sticking to
my business led people 10 trust me,

4 Pathetic Picture.

George William Curtis paints the
following pathetic picture, which ev-
cry one could wish were less true to
nature: Il think of many a sad
eyed woman have known III soli-
tary homes who seemed never to
have smiled, who struggled with
hard hands through melting heat
and pinching cold to hold back pow
erIy and want that lowered like
wolves about an ever increasing
flock of children. How it was scour
in the morning and scrub at night
and scold all day long! How care
blurred the window like a cloud
hiding the lovely landscape! How
anxiety snarled at her heels, dog
ging her like a cur! How little she
knew or cared that bobolinks, drunk
with blithe idleness, tumbled and
sang in the meadows below, that
the earth was telling the time OF
year with flowers in the woods
above. As l think of these things, OF
this solitary incessant drudgery, OF
the tacituTn husband coming in
heavy with sleep, too weary to read,
to talk, to think, and do not won
der that mad houses are so richly
recruited from the farm houses a.

Gone OUT Forever!

Like dropping, dying stars, our
dearly loved ones go away from our
sight. The stars Of our hopes, our
ambitions, our prayers, whose light
ever shine before US, suddenly pale
in the armament of our hearts and
their place IS left empty, cold and
dark. \ mothers steady, soft and
earnest light, that beamed through
wants and sorrows; fathers strong,
quick light that kept our feet from
stumbling in the dark and treacher-
GUS ways; 4 sisters light so mild, so
constant and so firm, shining upon
Us from gentle, loving eyes, aud per-
suading Us to grace and goodness: a
brothers light forever sleeping in
our soul, and Illuminating our
goings and coming; a friends light.

No, the light has not gone out. Il

there is no light and no darkness

which comes is but the natural Sc

TBIID PEOPLE.-It is the habit
OF some people TO laugh at the ter
ror which is experienced by Others
at a heavy thundercrash or the flash
ing lightning. This is both cruel
and wicked, since the victim j. no
more TO blame for il than the color
of his ewes and hair-in fact, like
them, it is hereditary. Such per
sons should be pitied and soOthed,
and allowed during these periods TO-
be always near some one whom they
love and coBfide in. More especial
" is this true Of children, some OF
whom suffer more than words can
tell from this as well as from other
causes of fear. Deal gently with
such: il is the only way to eradicate
heir fears; ridicule aud harshness
will only confirm them. The child
"afraid of the dark" should never
be forced to encounter it unatteDd-
ed and unmatched. Idiocy has Of
ten been the sad result OF contrary
treatment. Let both parents aud
teachers, then, be thoughtful IN

From Parton's Life OF jefferson
JuuIvs rEads-sas-

Bat there was a new member in
the House this year, a young man OF
twenty-five, small of stature, vast
ed by too much study, not in The
least imposing in appearance, and
too modest as yet TO utter one word
in debate, who was destined TO be
Jefferson's most efficient ally during
all his career. This was James
Madison, to whom we all Owe so
much more than we know, whose
services are so little remarked be-
cause they were so great. lie never
shope resplendent in debate; he
never wrote or spoke anything that
was striking or brilliant; but few
countries ever possessed so useful a
citizen as he. From 1875 TO 1917,
look where you will i'm the public
affairs of the United States, you
find this little man doing or helping
TO do, or trying TO get u chance 60
do, the thing that most wanted do
ing. He was the willing horse who
is allowed TO draw the load. His
heart was in the business of serving
his country. lie was simply intent
on having the right thing done, not
to shine in doing il. Among his
virtues was his JOYOUS love Of a
Jest, which made him one Of the
most agreeable of comrades, and
preserved his health and spirits to
his eighty-fifth year, and lighted up
his dying face with smiles.
