SUNDAY READING.
Fretting.


Fretting is both useless and unnecessary
it does no good and a great deal of harm,
and yet it is almost a universal sin. More
or less, we are given toit We fret over
almost everything. In summer, because
it is too hot, in winter, because it is too
cold F; we fret when it rains because it is
wet, and when it don't rain because it is
dry when we are sick, or when anybody
else is sick. In short, if anything or
everything don't go just to suit our partic-
ular whims and fancies, we have one gen
eral refuge-to fret over it. l am afraid
fretting is much more common among wo-
men than among men. We may as well own
the truth, my sisters, if it isn't altogether
pleasant. Perhaps it is because the little
worries and cares and vexations of our dali
ly life harass our sensitive nerves more
than extensive enterprises which generally
take the attention of men. Great wants
develop great resources, but the little wants
and worries are hardly provided for, and
like the nail that strikes against the saw,
they make not much of mark, but they
turn the edges terribly. think If we
look upon all the little worries of one day
as great united worry, self control to
meet it would be developed. But as they
generally come one or two little things at
time, they seem SO very little that we give
way and the great breach once made in the
wall, soon grows larger. Now don't be-
in fho hot al
ways, under all circumstances, wear a
smiling face when her husband comes home,
or that she needs to take her hands out of
the dough, or drop the baby on the floor to
run and meet him at the door. But | do
believe,-nay know, for 1 have seen it
with my own eyes among my friends
that many woman has driven kind hus-
band away from her, away from home and
its sacred influences, and caused him to
spend his time at a billiard table, or in a
drinking saloon, by ceaseless fretting over
trifies which were not worth word, much
less the peace and happiness of home.
know that many mother has turned her
son against her own sex, and made him
dread and dislike the society of women, by
her example, constantly before him.
know that many mother has brought up
and developed daughter just like herself,
who, in her turn, would wreck and ruin the
comfort of another family circle. And
knowing all this, my sisters, and brothers,
too, if they need it, know that we ought
to set our faces like flint against this use
less, sinful, peace-destroying and home-dis-
turbing habit of fretting.

Very Exact.

A case Of rather troublesome exactness
on the part of down East lady is report
ed. q woman called at grocery store re-
Gently and made some purchases, paying
cash therefor. An hour or two afterward
she returned in some agitation, inquiring
if a pocket-book had been seen she had
lost hers and hoped they had found it.
Nothing had been seen of it, and search
was instituted, when the lost article was
found behind barrel in front of the coun-
ter. Another half hour passed, and again
she appeared, this time asking if any one
had tampered with her pocket-book while
it was at the store, as the money was not
all there.
f" How much is missingP" inquired the
trader. 'I- -el rHI
Gone cent" was the reply.
Here, john" said the store-keeper
give the lady one cent from the drawer.p
She took it and went on her way rejoic-
ing ta.W
Later-Next day, we understand, the
woman brought back the money, saying
she had bought cents worth Of hairpins
the day before, and forgot it when she miss
ed the pocket-book.

Worth Repeating.

A presiding elder of the United Brethren
Church was preaching in Minnesota, and
was much annoyed by talking and laugh
ing. He paused, looked at the disturbers,
and said
g am always afraid to reprove those
who misbehave in church. In the early
part of my ministry made great mis-
take. AS was preaching young man
who sat before me was constantly laughing
and almost continually making uncouth
grimaces. Ipaused and administered a Sc
we're rebuke. After the close of the SER
vice, one of the official members came to
me and said Brother, you have made a
great mistake that young man whom you
reproved is an IDIOT Since then have
always been afraid to reprove those who
misbehave in church, lest / should repeat
the mistake and reprove another IDIOT
During the rest of the service, at least,
there was good order.

/" Gods Flag"

AS one of the brigades of the reserve
corps which came up to the rescue of Gen.
eral Thomas at Chickamauga was march
ing through the town of Athens, bright
eyed girl of four summers was looking in
tently at the sturdy fellows as they tramped
by. When she saw the sun glancing
through the stripes of dazzling red and on
the golden stars of the flag, she exclaimed,
clapping her hands: "oh, pa pa God
made that flag !--see the stars tits Gods
flag p A shout, deep and loud, went up
from that column, and many bronzed
veteran lifted his hat as he passed the sun
ny-haired child Of bright and happy
thoughts, resolving, if his good right arm
availed anything, Gods flag should con-
quer. Whata sweet and happy christen-
ing the glorious ensign received from those
artless lips-"God's flag p and so it is.

Romance of Arithmetic.

The most romantic of all numbers is the
figure 0, because it can't be multiplied
away or got rid OF anyhow. Whatever you
do, it is sure to turn up again, as did the
body of Eugene Aram's victim. One re-
markable property of this figure (said to
have been first discovered by Mr.. Green,
who died in 1794) is that all through the
multiplication table the product of nine
comes to nine. Multiply by what you like,
and it gives the same result. Begin with
twice 8, 1S; add the digits together, and 1
and make 0. Three times are 81 and
2 and are nine. So it goes on, up to
eleven times o, which gives 90. Very
good add the digits and are 1S, and
Sand are 8. Going on to any extent it is
impossible to get rid of the figure 0. Take
a couple of instances at random. Three
hundred and thirty-nine times are 3,051
add up the figures, and they are nine.-
Five thousand and seventy-one times are
As, 639; the sum of these digits is 27;
and are 9.

That they may do so is one of the reasons

he said, "sooner than child of mine

THE COMING WOMAN.
a Community In Which Men VIII be
Disqualified from Voting.


The estab ishment of 3 womsn's COM
munity within the limits of the town Of
Woburn, about twelve miles from Boston,
was begun yesterday by the formal raising
of the frame of the first building. In this
community all the land is to be owned by
women, and so far as the management Of
the affairs of the village is con-
cerned, woman suffrage is to be re-
allied to the extent of the utter political
disqualification of the sterner sex. The mem
bers of the community are obliged to assent
to constitution which is TO govern it, but
further than this they are unrestrained; ex-
cept, however, that they are expected to
attend st least once a week upon the un-
sectarian service to be held. The occupa-
ton of the residents in Aurora viii
lage will be varied and industrial schools
are provided to fl persons for the differ
ent kinds of work to be done, including
q domestic school for instruction in
home duties. Each homestead is to be &C.
eompanied with garden, and gardening
aud fruit-raising will be favorite occupa-
ton. Cooperative schemes are also plan
ned. One of these, aid that which has
been pushed nearer to realization than any
other connected with the enterprise, is the
establishment of a laundry where full
facilities are to be afforded for doing work
on large scale, and bringing money into
this thus far needy village by COM
peting with famous Troy laundries. About
one thousa- persons are committed to the
enterprise, though they are not all women
and not to be residents. The site Of the
village is q wilderness, and it offers all
manner of obstacles. The community is
called 81 he Women's Economical Garden
Homestead League" and l. is established
by act of the State Legislature.
