Marthas.

Martha is a generic term. 1t applies to
all ages and conditions. 1t means every
one who, for lack Of trust in Providence is
over-suxious about the things Of this world.
1t means every one who is peevish and fret
ful, because as he may say, his affairs do
not 20 smoothly. IL means every one who
always looks down on the dark side Of
things, forgetting if he would raise his eyes
a little higher he would see the sun of
heaven shining. 1t means all those who
magnify their molehill OF discomfort into a
mountain of aifliction. 1t means all those
who are bedraggled in the mire of worldly
cares, because they will not view them from
a heavenly standpoint. Martha is the
uame Of those who, to their actual troubles,
add many imaginary ones-who are always
taking thought for the morrow, though the
Lord has said that 80 the morrow shall take
thought for the things of itself" All those
are Marthas, who, absorbed in self and its
immediate surroundings, make them the
center Of the universe, aud their own ef-
forts its motive power. No wonder that
when they fail in any undertaking, or meet
with unexpected obstacles, they are dis.
turbed, irritated, disheartened. Martha is
in the nursery, the kitchen, the counting
house, the workshop, the school-room, the
temple--in every place where men and wo.
men may attempt to carry out their own
ends by their own strength, and may en-
counter opposition and discontinue. - Rer

That Boy.
BY LILLIAN 4. FAULKNER.

After the snow and the rain and the cold,
our sidewalks are so slippery that it is a
hazardous thing for lady to attempt "a
walk down the street, especially if the wind
blows, for it whiffs out her skirts like sails,
and sweeps ber along without waiting for
her feet to keep up. So, when | turned
the corner on my way home yesterday, and
saw on the next block group of noisy boys,
some on skates aud some with sleds, |
wondered how | should steer safely through
them. But | soon forgot myself in watch
ing an old lady who was creeping cautious
ly along little way ahead of me. Surely,
| thought, she cannot keep her footing
among those shooting sleds and jumping
boys, aud quickened my pace to come to
the rescue, should my own treacherous feet
fail me.
Just as she neared the group, one Of the
wide-awake boys noticed her, and stepped
forward, his shy courtesy dashed with boy
ish brusquoness.
"sha'n't help you along? It's awful
slippery here"
could not hear the old lady's answer,
but she took the boys arm and with man
ner as gentle as it was manly, he led her
down the length of the block to the house
on the other corner, and then rushed back
into the thick of the frolic, as if nothing
had happened.
wondered, not only at the thoughtful
kindness SO often lacking in needless boy
hood, but at the easy grace with which the
thing was done. Boys who would not be
intentionally rude, are often thoughtlessly
SO, or if they have an observant eye and
kind heart, feel awkward in offering cour-
tesies or rendering little services
They shrink from the ciyilities expected
of them and actually have not the courage
to volunteer helpful attention to lady.
The habitual exercise of kind disposition,
the everyday practice of politeness, is the
only way in which a boy can acquire that
unaffected ease and grace which make the
little attention a pleasure to himself and
others. So, as watched this merry fellow,
leaping and shouting with the other boys, |
wondered. He seemed sturdy boy of
fourteen, the awkward age as mothers
say, and there was no trace of priggisbness
about him.
This morning | rode with the doctor as
he made the round of morning calls among
his patients, and while was sitting in the
sleigh on B. street, this same boy went
running up the steps into the next house,
carrying bundle of neatly strapped books,
and his whole appearance wore that uDmis-
taxable just-out.ofschool air, which boy
unconsciously puts on when his lessons are
recited. In a minute be rushed out with

across the street sweet-faced lady came to
the door calling to him.
Charley, my dear, do you know grand
ma has not come 2"
Well, mamma ?" said he, interroga-
lively. aud yet as if he was 10 great hurry
to be of
What do you suppose is the reasoni
Charley ?"
It's fact, it is too slippery for her to
step out, but l'm just going skating"
" Wouldn't my boy enjoy his skating bet
ter if he made somebody happy before he
starts2'
The boy came back aud laid his skates
on the doorstep, and was going of in a
jifiy," when his mother detained him mo-
ment.
If grandma is not quite ready, don't
make her feel that you have anything else
to do, but wait her convenience She will
not keep you more than five minutes, and
when We do little service for others we
must make it a pleasure for them to re-
ceive it,"
Charley scampered of, and in a short
time appeared again carefully guiding the
steps Of bright looking old lady, who lean
ed on his arm as proudly as if he had been
prince, while he cbatted gayly aud his
boyish laugh told Of the sweet confidence
underlying the respect with which be treat.
cd her. just then the doctor came out
and we drove of, but that glimpse of the
mother and grandmother revealed the se-
cret of the boys frank and easy grace Of
kindness. - Christian Union.

Boy-Training.

Why should We teach our boy that be is
TO be a mere whisting, romping, tearing
and wearing member of the household, while
his own sisters or women-seryants work
around him from weary chime 10 chime ?
IL is not necessary to define the limits,
- thus far shalt thou 20 aud no farther. "
Every thoughtful mother can adapt her iu-
structions TO the need, or to the strength
and deftness Of her boy. Why should be

to the best Of my recollection, his father
showed him how A very picture of q
manly boy he was, growing up evidently to
be Guy Lussac or Prince Rupert of our
day. Why should the boy leave his room

iuky pocket-handkerchiefs If be be made
occasionlly to set it 10 rights himself, to get
dust-pan and sweep up the sticks and stuff
he will at least have an Intelligent compre-
hension, another time, of the cost Of the
confusion. Teach him all the little con-
yenances, how to deport himself before his
elders, and the courtesy be owes to ladies,
old and young but teach him, also, why
he is better fitted to carry home the heavy
basket than Sophy, the servant-maid, and
when he should lend helping hand to wo.
men, young or old. We hear a great deal
Of imperfect sympathies, nowadays, as a
sort Of bitter drop in the cup Of welded
life. These imperfect sympaibes, are
charged generally, we believe. to the account
Of the masculine race. Tones Of poetry
and hecatombs Of bleeding hearts are laid

disillusions Of married life Shall we lay

Grandfather's Chair In the Home.

When one has gone through the strug.
giles of early life, and the combats and ri.
valries and strifes of middle life, and by
discipline, step by step, has risen to a state
Of serenity toward the end Of life, is there
anything more beautiful than that ripe, rich
character Of the matron or the patriarch ?
They are DO longer able to work with the
hand and yet, in all the world there are
none that work as they do. Yet, they are
pictures Of divine beauty, and they stand
over against the eyes Of those who see them
children and neighbors representing, in
a concrete form, the beauty of virtue and
the beauty Of piety. Therefore God often
prolougs their days and though they can
add nothing to the worlds store, although
they consume much and produce nothing in
the physical world, they are treasure that
cannot be estimated. They are the joy Of
the household; for no family is well equip.

grandmother's chair, and the baby's cradle

The latter represents sweetness and inno-
cency, and the former represents the vic
tory that has been gained over fear and the
ripeness that is characterized by peace, and
trust, and holy joy, and love,---H. w.

more than two thousand years old When

Mistakes.

The following mistakes SO commonly
made are worthy of note. 1t is a great
mistake to set up our standard of right and
wrong, and judge people accordingly. 1t
is great mistake to measure the enjoy.
ments of others by our own ; to expect
uniformity of opinion in this world /; to
look for judgment and experience in youth;
to endeavor to mould all dispositions alike
not to yield to immaterial trifcs to look
for perfection in our actions; to worry our
selves and others with what cannot be re-
meded not make allowance for the intirln-
tiles of others to consider everything i'm
possible which we cannot perform; to be-
lieve only what our finite minds can grasp;
to expect to be able to understand every
thing. The greatest of all mistakes is, to
live for time, when any moment may launch
US into eternity.

Four Coon HABITS. There were four
good habits wise man earnestly recon-
mended iD his counsels and which he con-
sidered to be essentially necessary for the
management oftemporal concerns and these
are punctuality, accuracy, steadiness, and
despatch. Without the FIRST of these, time
is wasted; without the second, mistakes the
most hurtful to our own credit and interest
and that Of others may be committed with
out the third, nothing can be well done ;
and without the fourth, opportunities, Of
great advantage are lost, which it is impos.

The oak in the middle of tho forest If
surrounded on every side by trees that
shelter and shade it, runs up tall aud COM
paratiyely feeble; cut away its protectors,
and the first blast will oyerturn IT, But
the same tree, growing in the open field,
where it is continually beaten upon by the
tempest, becomes its own protector. So
the man who is compelled to rely on his
own resources forms an independence of
