His Refuge.

Last Sunday the usher of one of the
Detroit churches was greatly surprised
at the appearance of an old acquaint-
ance, whose red nose and bleary eyes
had not been seen in church before for
fifteen years.
"Why, Pm awful glad to see you, +"
said the usher, as he held out his hand.
They shook, and the usher continued:
$50 you thought you'd come to
church,"
Eyes, l thought so, replied the man
as he looked around. "It's mighty
lonesome now since they've closed the
saloons on Sunday"

Sew nyWOEten-s Lives.

| Prentice Milford, writing to the 10
mans Journal, says:
| In room below me are two worn
faded out old maids. They have been
here in New York for eight years
running sewing machine. Of life S
necessaries they purchase little handfulls
coal ut ten cents a bucket; a fstful of
kindling at three cents; everything else
in proportion. They have never seen the
inside of theater. lecture room or any
place of recreation. They know no
more of the Fifth avanue and its fash
enable afternoon attractions than they
DO OF the moon. They are too poor TO
take paper. OF the daily life. incident
and events of the great city. they catch
only the faintest echoes. Their life is
bounded from years end to years end
within the compass of three blocks.
Present them with books or theater tick
cts? They have no time to use either.
The trihe of car hire between their house
and the theater is for them serious mat
ter. 1t would buy two large loaves.
Money comes very hard. There are so
many roads, too, for their hard earned
dollars to travel. They have one regular
caller-the landlords agent. They let
few rooms expecting thereby to make
their own rent clear. Risky business for
many dodgers leave them minus. So life
goes on from year to year-tied to sew
ing machine. furniture getting shabbier,
carpets more ragged. themselves older.
grayer, more sallow, leaner. The chap
ter of one weeks bother and perplexity
to make both ends meet, succeeded by
similar one the next; every plate and
lamp which breaks, every shoe wearing
out, for no means of replacement are
known. All goes to buy bread, meat.
fuel, and pay rent The demands OF
these clsmorous bodies are memorable.
Both ends meet? No: they never meet. |
The gap beween them widens every year. |
What a charming, cheering. beautiful
world is this to these people, How they |
must bless the Creator for giving them
the grass and flowers they SO rarely see;
the fresh ocean breeZes of Sandy Hook, |
so few miles away. which they can never
afford to inhale; the magnificent scenery
of the highlands, two hours sail distant,
but which lean purse locks out from
them. As I write l hear these sewing |
machines whizzing all around me, pro-
pelied by these prisoners and slaves like |
these tied to garrets and tenement
houses, always in dread of want, toiling
day, while the happy prisoner at the
works his eight or ten and
retires at night with a certainty Of food |
on the morrow. and no landlord dun
ming him for rent.

Wise Sayings by Josh Billings.

We ought to be much better Judges of
our own characters than our neighbors,

1t is only the profoundly solid fools
that are opposed TO all new things it is
true that most new things are false, but
it is equally true that the best things We
have were once new.
Mankind are so stubborn that if you
even intend to do them a good turn 1t is
safer to coax them than to undertake 10
drive them.
have seen people who had the itch SO
bad-for talking that they couldn't
listen even when it Numbered.
You will find plenty of persons whose
principal virtue consists III despsing
what they can't get.
The man WHO can't keep secret ain't
worth but little for anything else.
AS we get older we become less certain
of others and more certain OF ourselves
Perhaps it ought to be just the reverse:
Next to clear conscience, for solid
comfort give me an easy boot.
There would be but few eccentricities
among men if no attention was paid to
them by others.
There is great difference between
ambition and energy, although they are
sometimes COMPOUNDED; there is no one
but what is ambitious of something he
haint got, but there are thousands toe
lazy to go for it.
A snob is a very common person who
is anxious to appear very uncommon.
You can't account for some successes
any more than you can for some epidem
les; they have no rules of their own mol
obey no laws of others.
Vanity is the first thing born and the
last thing that dies in man. 1t follows
him to his burial and then cngraves it.

If you take from the writings of the
moderns what has been stolen from the
ancients you will have large crop OF
bran left.
There are hypocrites who are born so
they have no cunning, nor no malice,
and don't even know themselves the ex-
tent of their hypocrisy
Women will give all their other pos

what drawn together, with a suggestion
of trouble or at least of concentrated
attention. Above all things, remember
that when your uis-d-Uis begins what
promises to be "a prolonged humorous Lar.
ration your face must instantly relapse
into quiet. The smile may begin early
in the story but must be very slight and
inconspicuous at first, gradually ditfus,
ing itself over the entire countenance
and coming to climax with the point
of the story--either in an actual laugh,
or, still better, in radiant smile of APP
probation, tip-toe on the verge OF laugh

for its reticence. No one who has made
use of this method will ever return TO
the old and inelegant system-tiring to
yourself and unsatisfactory to your in,
terlocutor-of beginning the facial au
dience, if we may so call it, at the high
est pitch at the outset of his narration,
ana vainly endeavoring to keep up the
strain upon the features to the end. The
consequence of such IA course is that
either the smile becomes hard and
mechanical or that precisely when most
needed it altogether disappears, and you
are forced to some clumsy substitute"
