How 10 Build up u Place.

There can hardly be greater sign of
prosperity in community than a dis
position to help one another-lift a
little when a neighbor's wheel gets
stuck IN the mud.
We know of a place where a mans
barn with all his winters stores of grain
and hay were consumed by fire in the
night. Immediately all the men of the
country side mustered and hauled up
timber for a new barn, and then big
raising came off. After that the sound
of twenty or more hammers were heard
until the whole was shingled and sided.
But their deed of kindness was not done
vet one after another offered to take a
head of his stock and winter them for
him, thus greatly reducing his loss and
assuring his heart of the more durable
riches Of brotherly love and neighborly
good will. No one can compute in
money the value of one such example
of noble liberslity in a community, es-
pecially in Its influence upon the young.
When this spirit prevails there is sure
to be progress in place even if all the
improvements are in their infancy. Peo-
pie will come and settle in place which
bears such a good name. Now, if you
desire to see your place growing popu-
lar, do what you can to show yourself
q good neighbor, especially to those
who need a little extra help.
If man starts tin-shop or black
smiths shop in your place don't harness
up and drive five miles to buy your
pans and get your horses shod, just be.
cause you have been in the habit of
doing it. Patronize the new conner
when you want anything done in his
line. Speak encouragingly to him and
we'll of him to your neighbors. Little
words Of approval or censure go long
way, and when once you have spoken
them you cannot cali them back.
Help the sick, especially If they are
poor, for poverty and illness are indeed
heavy burden. Perform all acts of
loving charity which fall day by day in
your path, remembering who it is that
has said, "Ye shall in no wise lose your
rauard

A Love Adventure.

The following sensational tale is told
by that most inveterate of Rossips,
Katinka. The dramatis perSOne,
though mentioned in blank, are well
known in society: "Who would ever
have supposed the loss of ones curls
would be the means of finding a hus-
band? Such, improbable as it may
appear, has been the case of NJ. de v.
At the end of May last, she went with
her parents to Dieppe to pass the sum-
mer, and one rainy day. she started
with her waiting maid to visit friend
in a narrow but usually crowded street.
1t was SO narrow, in fact, that the per-
SONS passing through it got their UNI
brellas entangled with each other, and
it SO happened that gentleman bung-
lingly got his fastened in one of Miss
de VS. curls. The young girl did
her best to disengage herself, all the
while, OF course, blushing, frowning
and smiling, whilst the owner of the
umbrella, a handsome young man,
seemed to be busily engaged in helping
her, but, in reality, he protracted the
operation as long as possible through
admiration for the beauty whom good
luck and bad weather had thrown in his
way. Several minutes were passed in
these efforts, when suddenly the curls
gave way, and Immediately after they
were dangling at the extremity of the
umbrella. The young man renamed
motionless in astonishment, while the
poor girl hastened away shocked, vexed
and inwardly vowing never more to
wear false hair. In few hours after
wards she had entirely forgotten the
adventure but the young gentleman
whom she had entangled could not so
easily chase her from his memory, and
be could not rest quiet until he dis
covered who she was. He one day met
the waiting maid and bribed her to tell
him her name. To his great satisfac-
ton he found that he was acquainted
with her father. He Immediately called
upon this gentleman, and was intro.
duced to the young girl, who blushed
deeply, but feigned not to recognize
him. He contrived to render himself
30 agreeable to her parents that they
received him as an intimate visitor OF
the family. His admiration for Miss
de V, 1 need not say, soon ripened
into ardent love, and as he was not only
eood-looking but also intelligent and
wealthy. Miss de v speedily forgot
the contretemps of their first interview,
and engaged herself to him, with the
appreciation of her parents. They are
TO be married this month"

A Romantic Affair.

No novelist ever imagined marriage
concluded under more eccentric cir
cumstsnces than that OF Comte de u
with Miss de V. The future
Comtesse, who is one OF the best sports
women of France, happened in the be-
ginning of the summer season to be
present with her father at the races OF
b. Her attention was here attracted
by Q small pony, which she found to be
remarkably beautiful, and which she
asked her father to purchase. Mr. de
V is immensely rich, and he adores
his daughter. Consequently he at once
called with her on the owner OF the
pony the Comte de D, who received
them in the most graceful manner, but
firmly refused to sell his horse. How
ever. as de V was trying to change
his resolution he added, looking at the
beautiful Amazon, 81 have sworn that
INV horse shall belong to no one but my
wife" Need add that Miss de V
soon found ont that the Comte was
endowed with other qualities than OF
remarkable sportsman, and that their
marriage is to be celebrated very soon.

Jesus wept 20 sacred tear.
Glistening through the mist Of years;
Not for those whom we call dead.
We're those holy tear-drops shed;
Not for those who're passed away
To the realms Of cloudless day.
But for us. who linger here,
Bending DER a pall-clad bier,
For the lone who watch and wait,
BY the hearthstone, desolate,
For the feet that ne 'er will come,
Tho the weary day be done.
Jesus wept The Lord of glory.
He-the undefiled, the holy,
Marked our sorrows, doubts, and fears,
Passing through this vale Of tears
Where each human heart must know
All the bitterness of woe.
Sacred chrism thus consecrate
For the sad and desolate,
For the sister, brotherless,
For the child, all motherless,
Many q grief hath calmer slept
Since the son OF Mary wept
oh. ye tears no jewels rare
Resting on q brow most fair;
Not the lustrous orient gem
In q monarch's diadem
Shall their pristine brightness keep
When the eye hath learned to weep.
Backward, through the ages past
Many longing look is cast
To the spot where Lazarus slept,
Where the Son Of Glory wept;
There would submissive bend,
Find q sympathizing friend.
Sacred be that holy shrine,
Hosry with the touch Of time;
Many pilgrim there shall rest
With his cross hid in his breast,
Reverent bow and kiss the sod,
Melted by the tear of God.

TEARS.

By MRS NJ T. Belts
IL it rainy. little flower?
Be glad Of rain
Too much sun would wither thee;
Twill shine again.
The clouds are very black, It's true;
But just behind them smiles the blue,
Art thou weary, tender heart?
Be glad Of pain.
In sorrow sweetest things will grow,
As flowers in rain.
God watches. and thou wilt have sun
When clouds their perfect work have done

A CapriciOus Cat.

A clergyman's cat at West Springfield
has shown some remarkable symptoms
of natural depravity. After giving
birth to seven kittens recently, of
various colors, she removed the two
blackest from the group and utterly
refused to take any notice of them. No
sooner were they restored to her nest
than she again and again eiected them,
and death finally relieved the little
waits, And this in defiance to the
fifteenth amendment, which declares
there shall be no distinction on account
of colorl No other than Massachusetts
cat would have dared to thus offend
the majesty of the law.

DoS'T CRITICIsE Whatever you do,
never set up for a critic. We dom
mean a newspaper one, but in private
life, in the domestic circle, in society.
1t will not do any one any good, and 1t
will do you harm-If you mind being
called dIsagreeable. Ii you don't like
any ones nose. or object to any ones
chm, don't put your feelings into
words. III ones manner does not please
you, remember your Own. People are
not all made to suit ones taste; recOl-
lect that. Take things as you find
them, unless you can alter them. Even
a dinner, after it is swallowed, can not
be made any better. Continual fault
finding, continual criticism of the con-
duct of this one and the speech of that
one, the dress of the other, and the
opinions of t'other, will make home the
unhappiest place under the sun.

The TOSGUE--NOthing but the pro-
boscis of an elephant compares in
muscular hexibility with the tongue.
1t varies in length and size in reptiles,
birds and mammalia, according to the
peculiar organic circumstances of each.
A giratfe's tongue has the functions OF
finger. 1t Is hooked over a high
branch, its strength being equal to
breaking off large, strong branches OF
trees, from which tender leaves are
then stripped. An ant bears tongue is
long and round, like a whiplash. The
animal tears open dry clay walls Of ant
hills, thrusts IN its tongue, which
sweeps around the apartments, and by
its adhesive saliva brings out yard OF
ants at a swoop. The mechanism by
which it is produced so far is both
complicated and beautiful. A dogs
tongue in tapping water takes a form
by mere act OF volition that cannot be
initiated by an ingenious mechsnician.
The human tongue in the articulation
of language surpasses in variety oi
motions the widest imagination of q
poet Even in swallowing food its
office is so extraordinary that physiolo-
glsts cannot explain the phenomena OF
deglutition without employing the aid
OF several sciences.
