To appeal to the women of the coun-

financial troubles may at first seem alb
surd but there is q reason for it that
more speclous calls have not. 1t is not
asked of them to be more economical
to save money, and contribute it to the
poor; Or to change their expenditure a
whit but to turn their monetary brook
lets into different channel--in short,
to bay domestic. instead Of imported
goods. No great perspieacity is needed
to comprehend that, while the Repub-
lie is paying, yearly, millions and mill
ions more Of gold for imports than it
gets for exports, it can hardly return to
specie payment; and just so long as
that is deferred, we must have panics
and all sorts of monetary derange-
ments.
So, if the buying of imported goods

them, and keep the gold we need in
stead of sending it abroada There is
no need of leagues and clubs and
much palayer to make this q practical
movement. All that the wisest and

to ask for domestic brand when she

'Its shame said Mrs. togg, as
she hurried av ay after the funeral Of
Mrs Grant, escaping from the poor,
desolate room where two children, al
most babies, were sleeping, unconscious
that they were motherless. "Its a
shame thai nc body1l take 'em!"
"Yes-a bitter shame!" replied &
neighbor, who was going off as fast as
she could, so as to shift the responsible

''There's }! u.s. Grove, she might take
them as well :. not. But they'll go to

Mrs. Cole did turn away from the
sleeping babes, signing aloud, with a
forced sigh Ii at others might hear,
and give her credit for sympathy snd
concern she did not feel.
At last all W ere gone-all but man
named Wheat on, and poor woman

and looked pitiously about the room

A great cho king sob came into the
man s throat.
Then the other child awoke and said
Don't cry, sis BY, Mammals gone away.
AT this the little one began crying
bitterly.
81 can't stand this no how" said the
man speaking in a kind Of desperate
way; and, going to the bed, he gather
ed the two children in his arm, hushing
and comforting them with soothing
words.
"What on earth have you got there?
exclaimed Mrs. Wheaton as her hus
band came striding in the room, where
she sat mending one Of his well worn
garments.
1.-Two babies" he answered in a
voice so unusual that Mrs. Wheat on
dropped her W ork on the floor and
rose up in anna cement.

Mrs Grants two babies. I've been

in his arms, and let their tender, tear
full, half frig htened, half wondering
eyes plead their cause with his wife
and they did not plead in vain.
Surprised as she was, and with al
instant protest i'll her heart, Mrs
Wheaton could not in the presence o
these motherless little ones, utter
word of remonstrance. She took tn,
youngest one from her husbands arm
and spoke to it tenderly. The chill
sobbed two or three times, and the

We met, lip to lip,
We clasped hands close and fast,
As close oak and ivy stand,
But it past;
Come day, come night day comes at last.
Ne locsed hand from hand

At even pace,
Each went to Ill separate place.

We shall clasp hands the accustomed way, =

''Ellen and | talked it over last night.

so before; BUTT just the hard truth.

"Well, we haven't just settled that.
But Ellen heard yesterday of a poor

county if some one don't take it; and

her heart, for she's a motherly body. u
"W here is it," asked Wheaton.
'Down at the Woodbury. Mills"
Wheaton reflected few moments,
and then said: Look here, Frank:
take my advice, and put this baby
between you and MeBrides-between
you and lost days-between you and
idle thrif;essness, and, my word for it,
in less than two years you'll have your
own roof over your head"
Only for little while did the man
hesitate then with an emphatic manner
he exclaimed: I'll do it."
DO it at once, then, said Wheaton.
Put on your coat and goover to the
Mills and get the baby. 1t will be All
angel in your house that will help and
bless you in every hour Of temptation.
Go at once. God has opened for YOU
this way of safety and if you walk

DREAMING TOR BREAKFAST. Once
upon time a Scotchman and an Irish
man happened to be journeying to
gether through an almost interminable
forest. BY some mishap they lost their
way, and wandering about for long
time, whtn they fortunately came across
a miserable hoyel, which was deserted
save by lone chicken. AS this poor
biped was the only thing eatabIe to be
obtained, they eagerly dispatched and
prepared it for supper. When laid be-
fore them Pat concluded that it was in
sufficient for the supper of both himself
and Sawney, and therefore made a
proposition to his companion that they
should spare their chicken until the
next morning, and the one who had
the most pleasant dream would have
the chicken, which was agreed to by
the Scotchman. In the morning Saw
ney told his dream. He said be
thought angels were drawing him to
heaven in basket, and he never was
50 happy IN his life. Upon concluding
his dream Pat exclaimed: "Och, sure
