Let Us Help One Another.

This little sentence should bo writ
ten on every heart and stamped on
every memory. It should be the
golden rule practiced not only in
every household but throughout the
world. By helping one another we
not only remove thorns from the
pathway and anxiety from the mind
but we feel q sense of pleasure in our
knowing we are doing q duty to q
fellow creature. A helping hand or
an encouraging word Is no less to us,
yet it is q benefit to others. Who
has not felt the pewer of this, little
sentence ? Who has not needed the
encouragement and aid of q kind
friend? How soothing, when per-
picked by some task that is myster-
Eous and burdensome; to feel q gen.
tie hand on the shoulder and to hear
q kind voice whispering: do not be
discouraged; see your trouble; let
me help you. What strength Is
inspired what hope createdi what
sweet gratitude is felt ! And the
great difficulty is dissolved as dew
beneath the sunshine. Yes; let us
help one another by endeavOring to
strengthen and encourage the weak
and lift the burden of care from the
weary and oppressed, that life may
glide smoothly on and the fount of
bitterness yield sweet waters; and
He whose willing hand is ever ready
to aid US will reward our en-
deavOrs and every good deed will
be as 'bread cast upon the waters"
to return after many days.n if not to
US, to those we love.

The shah's Jewels.

The jewels OF the Shah have quite
surpassed the reports of their size and
value which preceded their owners
arrival. The Treasury of Persia, we
all know, was rich to an incredible
richness with accumulated wealth of
the sort; but no one was prepared to
see 8loTtdlibus ocaitis, a diamond near
ly twice the size of the Koh-i-uoor, or
Mountain of Lightp (Row in the pos
session of the Queen of England, once
Runjeet Sing, the Lion of Lahore's
greatest glory, stuck in front of q
mans sword belt. and five diamonds,
each larger than that jewel of jewels,
en- eclteLon up his coat from waist to
shoulder. These stones are scarcely
cut, and do not show as they ought,
but they are Of surprising purity. The
Shah's sword belt is q treasure house
in itself. The sheath Is studded with
rubies, emeralds, and diamonds, which
shame their setting Of purest gold.
The front of his coat is gernished with
rows of brilliants instead of lace. The
collar and sleeves are crusted with
them, and his orders are of the most
precious jewels. His spurs flash like
sunbeams. ALI this on the person Of
a man who has nothing noble in mien
or face, although he is above the
average height ofthe Indian Mussul-
man noblesse.

A soso yoa THE surnxn.r1,.r.

The shoemaker sat on his Ieathern bench,
And sang as he pegged hfs shoe;
He worked SIS he sang and sang ~ he worked
While he drew the wax ends through.
Perchance his song was not SO sweet
AS the nightingale's sweetest triIl;
Bat he sang as he worked ana worked as he
sang,
And sang and worked with will.
1t was not of love and Cupid's power,
That the shoemaker daily sang;
But he worked as he sang and sang as he
worked,
While the shop with the echoes rang.
He did not sing to Italian strains
Those words that none can tell;
But he beat the time to his own hearts s
rhyme, "a
With the hammer that rose and fell.
The words that he sang are known to all,
And are known the whole world through;
But little he dreamed OF his coming fame
As he sang and pegged his shoe.
He had left the door OF his shop ajar,
For a breath OF the cooling breeze,
~-1b AAuEiuuHAue hlSneu III the lOreSI Wl1e1
ofthe gently whispering trees.
From the clover red In Its crimson bed,
The breeze It's fragrance bore,
And swept 1t along with the stream of song
That flowed from that open door.
And this was the song thai the shoemaker
sang,
As he sang and pegged his shoe,
While a fy lit on the end OF his nose,
As he drew the waxed ends through.
His hands were full and he could not stop,
So what to do was he?
Then he sang in the words that echo yet
''Shoo, fly don't bother me-" i
And he beat the time i'm kind of chime,
With his hammer that rose and fell;
And the words of his song were borne along,
Wherever the breezes swell.
When now so soon the sun OF fJune,
And Summer'ssultry sky.
Shall work on man the curse and ban
By bringing back the hy.
Then wheresoe'er the breezes swell,
On land or DER the sea,
This song shall rise In countless cries
''Shoo, fyl don't bother me-"

1t will save young men and women
desirous of serving the Government,
a good deal of needless expense to re-
member that passing 8 successful ex-
animation for an Office does not se-
cure the appointment. There are nu-
meFous candidates for all vacancies;
often eight or ten times as many ap-
plicants as Offices. While many are
excluded by the examination as ineom-
petent, there are still many more who
are qualified than can Be supplied
with places. Recently lady was de-
sired in the Postoffice Department In
WsshingtoH, and forty yonng women
appeared from different parts OF the
country, each one supposing, il she
passed successfully, the place was Sc
cure. But nearly all passed hence,
all but one. even Of the successful
thirty-nine disappointed young wo-
men-paid car fares, hack fares, hotel
fares, and then returned home, sad
but wiser.

An exchange says: An economical
lady in Oberiin, Ohio, recently en-
gagged an old man who has a wife and
six children To support to dig and
fix her acre garden. The old man
worked about \ week, and on asking
for his pay, the ''lady" handed him =
bundle which she said contained a
valuable waterfall which he could
sell. He took the fixin' to q hair
dresser and found to his ehagrin that
it was not worth q quarter, being an
old jute concern which had done long
service. He declined to go back to
the lady, as he said, "f0r she might
poison him for the purpose Of steal
ing his old boots.".

The real cause of the fall OF man
would seem, according to recent Oh
servatiOns, to have been not the cider
yielding "malum prohibitum," but
the tomato, known to our fOrefathefs
as the 'love-apple. Everybody
knows the disastrous effect of "ehOpS
and tomato-sauce" in Mr.. Piekwick's
case, but everybody does not know
that even more direct toxic agency is
attributable to the vegetable in ques-
ton. Not long ago DIR. Dio Lewis an
nOuneed the important discovery that
eating tomatoes makes all the eaters
teeth fall out, and now an 1ndianian
hygienist has evolved the still more
startling proposition that habitual in-
diligence in such diet produces insani-
ty. DIR. Lewis once met q young w0-
man who was fond OF tomatoes and
who had lost her teeth, and the Indi-
ana philosopher las known of two or
three tomatoes eaters who became in
sane. II in the majority Of instances
such dire consequences are not noticed
it must b5 remembered that "the ex-
eeptions prove the ruler and mani
testify the more exceptions there are
tine more concIusiveiy is the rule
proven. Hence, if it can be shown
that any or all Of the numerous gen.
tlemen now under the protection of
the law for murder were ever addict
ed TO the use Of tomato sauce with
their chops the task of counsel for the
defence may be greatly simplified and
the plea Of emotional insanity estab-
lished without the contradictory
intervention Of medical experts.

Rev. Samuel J. May was once jock

Died YESTERDAY.

Every day Is written this little SEN
tenee "Died yesterday" so-and-so.
Every day flower is plueked from
sunny home-a breach is made in
some happy eirele-a Jewel stolen
from some treasury OF love.
Each day, from the summer fieIds of
life, some harvest disappears-ysa-
every hour some sentinel falls from =
the ramparts into eternity. Even a.
We write the funeral OF one s'died YES
terday," winds like winter shadow
along the streets.
"Died yesterday" Who died {?
Perhaps Il was \ gentle babe, sinless
as an angel, pure as the zephyr's
hymD-One whose laugh Was ~ the
gush ofsummer rills lettering in the
bower Of roses-whOss life was bat q
perpetual litany-a Maytime crowned
with the passion flowers that never
fade.
Or mayhap it was = youth hopeful,
happy and generous, whcse path was
hemmed by flowers with not = serpent
lurking underneath-One whose soul
painted FOR communion with the great
and good and reached for the garden
IN the distance-But the heart is still
now he "died yesterday
"Died yesterday" A young girl,
pure as the orange flowers that clasp
ed her forehead, was stricken down as
sne stood at the altar and from the
strong aisles Of the temple, she was
borne to the garden of the slumber-
ers.n
a tall, crowned man girt with the
halo OF victory, and at the days close,
nnder his own vine and fig tree, fell To
dust even as the anthem upon his lips;
and he, too, was laid "where the fore
fathers Of the hamlet sleep"
An aged patriarch, bowed with age
and cares, even as he looked out upon
the distant hills for the coming of the
aged hosts, sank into dTeamless sum-
6er, and on his door post is written ::
"Died yesterday"
"Died yesterday" Daily men,
women and children are passing
away, and hourly in some graveyard
the sod is flung upon the dead. As
often in the morn we find some flower
that blushed swee.ly in the sunset was
withered up forever, SO daily, when
We rise from the bivOuae to stand
against our posts, We miss some broth
er soldier whose CHEEKY cry IN the
sieges and struggles OF the past has
been as fire from heaven upon our
hearts.
Each day some pearl drops from the
jewel thread of friendship-sOme Tyre
TO which we,have been wont to listen,
has been hushed forever. But wise is
he who mOnrns not the pearl and mu-
sic lost fnr lifc VIII him shall pass
away silently a. an Eastern shadow
from the hills, and death be triumph

Sleepless people should court the
sun. The very worst specific is laud-
anum, and the very best, sunshine.
Therefore, it IS very plain that poor
sleepers should pass many hours in
the sunshine. and as few as possible in
the shade. Many women are mar
tyrs, and yet they do not know il.
They shut the sunshine out Of their
houses and hearts, they wear wells,
they carry parasols, and they do all
possible TO keep off the subtlest, and
yet most potent influence which is
to give them strength, beauty and
cheerfulness.
