There is law in human nature which
causes the greatest interest to be felt for
the object which has caused most sacri-
fee. Very often this interest amounts
to downright affection. This is easily
understood by the teacher who has Ia
bored zealously for an unruly pupil, or
by the philanthropist who is giving his
life to the reclaiming of the lost. 1t is
philosophical, too, for the more we pro-
ject our thoughts into other lives. the
more lenient can we become towards
failipgs, seeing as we then do, the oppos-
ing strength which they must resist.
Then besides, there are many beautiful
but shadowed traits in every character,
which only the careful hand can find.
They are like the sweet, dewy violet,
hidden away under the rubbish of brush
and leaves. A casual observer will nev-
er suspect these to be there. So human
nature is often represented to be entirely
depraved. Oh, if only these hard souls
would do something for those condemned
nes-something which would cause the
doer a real self-denial-how much lovli-
er might they not become to his sight !!
Rare qualities may be discovered there,
whose existence was never dreamed.
And so we recommend charity-the
largest charity Many souls die out of
all moral good every year because they
are not appreciated. A damaging trait
may chance to stand outmost upon GER
tain natures, concealing much of real
worth which actually exists. A too
boasiful self-confdence, too ready re-
partee, an over-weaning love of display,
often has caused prejudice toward per-
son who has rare excellencies of char
acter. We all need the kindliest consid-
Grafton for one another, remembering
our own weaknesses; and there is no
surer way of creating an interest in the
mind for others than by doing some
good thing for them. Have you care
to test the truth of this p Recorder.

TREATMENT OF THE AGED.-A little

the old They have outlived most of the
friends of their early youth. How lone
ly their hours Often their partners in
life have long filled silent graves; how
often their children they have followed

call shall reach them. How often they

jesse Pomeroy Again.

HE is SUSPECTED OF ANOTHER MURDER.
A NOVA SCOTIA GIRL THE VICTIM.
Suspicion is again attracted to the no.
torious Pomeroy boy on account of the
disappearance at Boston, just made pub
lie, of young girl named Margaret
Lank, who has not been heard from by
her friends since the murder Of the Cur.
ran child. Margaret had been employed
in the family of Mrs. Pomeroy previous
to her disappearance. She came from
Londonderry, N. S., where her parents
reside, and who, up to last spring, were
won't to receive letters from her quite Of
ten, but since the disappearance of Katie
Curran, neither her parents nor friends
have heard from her. She had cousin
living in East Boston with whom she
was quite intimate, the two girls ex-
changing visits quite often, and this
cousin, though making diligent inquiry,
has not been able to find her. On Fri
day last her father came to the city to
search for his lost daughter, but has
thus far been unable to learn anything
of her whereabouts. 1t is now remem-
bered that Mrs. Curran, while seeking
for her lost child, called at the store o.
Mrs. Pomeroy to inquire for the young
girl, Margaret Lank, who had been sew
ing for Mrs. Pomeroy. She was prompt
ed to do this on account of the statement
made by the Rohr boy. that he saw Mar
garet enter the store few minutes after
Katie went in. Mrs. Pomeroy gave hel
a very short answer, saying that Marga
ret had been gone for two weeks, ant
then asked" What do you want to se'
her for ?" Mrs. Curran made no an
swer, and left the store. 1t is supposed
by many that the Lank girl heard Katie
Curran scream, and was killed by Pom
eroy to prevent discovery.

people have best rooms for. IL really is
a mystery; tor they always keep them
closed aud dark-no ray OF sunlight ev-
or peeps through the curtains or falls
upon thec carpet or pictures. Everything
is cold and stiff, and Bort of awe-in-
spring atmosphere pervades the whole
room and you feel involuntarily like
raising your hat and making profound
bow when you enter.
A few times year the apartment is
aired, and two or three times opened for
(" grand company" But how uncongen-
ial everything is One feels like walk
ing on tip-toe the children are sure to
talk in whispers, and there is pervad-
ing feeling that the carpet is too nice to
walk on, the chairs too easy to be en-
joyed, the pictures too beautiful to be
commented upon, the books are too
handsomely bound to be looked at and
read. So you sit bolt upright and talk
politics and theology until you get as
rigid as your surroundings
Now, l don't like such roomsl l don't
believe in having things that are too
nice to be used they always make one
nervous. If have nice dress l want
to wear it; If | have nice. pleasant
room l want to enjoy it when have lei
sure, and not when have a roomfull of
company to entertain.
always think soft carpets are to walk
upon, easy chairs to lounge in, beautiful
pictures to look atand admire, handsome
books to read and talk about.
How / love to throw open the best
rooms now and then and spend quiet
evening there; have father and brother
put on their dressing gowns and slippers
mother bring her knitting, and sisters
their crochet and embroidery have
some one read good entertaining story,
or sketch from some fayorite author
then play an innocent game of some
scrt, laugh and talk just as much as you
please, or sing pleasant, CHEEKY song,
with piano for accompaniment.
Presently father will begin one of his
long thrilling stories of his early life in
new country; mother will look CON-
placently round upon the family g-oup
and think what happy change time
has wrought How bright and happy
those faces are around that hearthstone
Soon the clock gives warning that it ia
an hour past bed time-and where has
the time flown Happy good nights are
spoken, and happier hearts think there
is no place like home, and there isn't.
Now, this is what | call enjoyment
and putting our best rooms to proper
; use and / am confident that if more
f parents thought SO, and would labor t.
make home the happiest place on earth
there would be far less dissipation ant
crime among our young men than ther'
/ is now.
There is nothing that sheds such
glow Of warmth through the soul as tn
r feeling that there is one place on eartl
where we can find rest and that is home
! place where we can enjoy the soeiet.
e of those most dear to us, and where al
: is peace and happiness.
I Parents, open your best room !" oe
, casionally, when only your family is t
: grace it, and see how much comfort yol
can take, and how great sn amount Q
happiness you will afford those owe
whom you have control.

Tho MOther-tn-Law Problem.
During the past year or two, public in
dignation has vented its passion, through
the mediums Of the press and the stage, on
the heads and habits of enthusiastically
simply as mothers-in-law. All abusive
or sarcastic squibs in newspapers on the
subject are read with o demoniacal plea
sure, whether the reader has such rela-
tive or not. Even youngsters, whose age
is not so great as that of medium mus
tache, join in the general chorus, although
most Of them are foolishly., anxious for
some young lady to "ssk mama" The
gray-haired old man, N So history is an
eyentful one, rellshes &c sarcasms be-
cause he unwillinglY re.aembers an occa-
sion when his mother-in-law interfered to
prevent him committing an error which
would have resulted in disaster. He will
not forget the fact that somebody was
wiser than he was when wisdom as
sailed folly and gained victory, such as
the son-in-law had vainly attempted to
gain.
z Another man smiles serenely when he
reads a good hit, for he knows that 1.-THE
old woman" can master him at home. This
is his silent revenge, SO let him enjoy it, for
that is all the comfort he dares to take in
opposition to his tyrant. a
The man of business, whose time is so
entirely occupied in commercial or mer-
camille affairs that he neglects his family,
almost unconscious that his mother-in-law
is performing portion Of fathers duty,
feels really pleasant when he reads cut
ting paragraph on the despised tribe.

dared to berate the creatures, finding addi-
/. tional comfort in seeing 1t in print, so that
the world may read it. ~ Y ~
The newly married man, whose great
lack of experience in a thousand neccssa-
nv matters concerning home and its COM
forts, thinks he knows it all. but his moth
er-in-law cannot endure the management,
SO steps in and straightens things out sys-
tematically, thereby saving time and
money. But the son-in-law's feelings are
hurt, and he finally tells his wife what he
thinks about the sold GIRL" The words are
not Of a complimentary nature. and con-
sequently there is GOODNESS in the house
which hard coal fire cannot warm.
All sorts OF people in a theatre laugh
heartily when some unfeeling actor spouts
coarse gag on mothers-in-law generally.
The actor sings in the nonsense because he
understands that his listeners will be
pleased L
Now it is suggested that the public has
rode the mother-in.law hobby long
enough; let derision and hatred be turned
toward somebody or something that can
defend itself. There are abundant sub
jects, wh,re folly and wickedness would
grow bitter if the finger of scorn were
pointed at them.
A mother-in-law is a necessary element
in society and she is not deserving of the
taunts put upon her reputation. Do not
forget that your mother once belonged to
that association, and that if the husband
IS the man he should be, his own wife will
in the course of time be liable to become
one of the detastad class -. n.
