HoLD ON.-Hold on to your tongue
when you are just ready to swear or
speak harshly, or use an improper word.
Hold on to your feet when you are on
the point Of kicking, or running away
from study. or pursuing the path of er-
ror, shame or crime. Hold on to your
temper when you are excited, angry, or
imposed upon. or others are angry about
you. Hold on to your good name at all
times, for it is much more valuable to
you than gold, high places or fashiona-
BILE attire.
Many people think they are unhappy
when they are not. Real unpleasantness
cannot exist without cause. 1t is a
shame and disgrace to complain Of be-
ing unhappy when we are only lazy and
unoccupied. Such people are like the
fox, who had deep wound somewhere
on his body, but he could not tell where.
Let them be ashamed to own it unless
they can show good reason.
No matter what comes upon you, do
not give up to 1t Look it square in
the eye. Don't let it see you finch. If
sorrow has entered your life, and rem
dered it bleak and cheerless, don't bow
down before it like ''reed shaken Of
the wind" but swallow it, shake it out
of your existence cut it up, root and
branch do not let it pull you down un-
der its feet.

1nE HABIT OF SAyING.-Wa usefulness
characterizes our domestic economy to
an extent unheard of in more frugal
countries. and we must always eat, drink
and be clothed with the best the market
affords There is no economy in depriv-
ing ourselves of an abundant supply of
nourishiDg food, decent raiment. and
healthful shelter, but this affords no ex-
euse for the prevalent sin of waste, nor
does it justify spending hard-won wages
upon expensive delicacies. unnecessarily
large habitations, or costly trifes. There
is far too lavish subserviency to fash
ion among all classes. Economy in this
respect would not only save money, but
tend to create a much needed independ-
ence, both in dress and in our whole
manner Of life.

pale moonlight, the soft sea breeze, tn,
gentle murmurings of the waters, the
softened notes from the garrison band

care, to shake off all anxiety and liv,

SOMEBODY'S SERVANT GIRL.


She stood there leaning wearily
Against the window frame;
Her face was patient sad and sweet,
Her garments coarse and plain;
'Wbo is she pay g. asked a friend,
The red lip gave a curl
Really do not know her name,
Shes some ones servant girl"
Again saw her on the street
With bundle trudgc along,
Her face was sweet and patient still.
Amid the iostliug throngi
slowly bus cheertully she moved,
Guarding with watchful care
A market basket much too large
For her slight hands to bear.
A man, thought a gentleman.
Went pushing rudely BY,
Sweeping the basket from her hands,
But turning NOT his eye;
Nor there D. no necessity.
Amid that busy whirl
For him 10 be gentleman
To "somebodv's servant girl"
All. wei IL is that God above
Looks in upon the heart,
And never judges any one
by just the outer part
For if the soul he pure and good,
lie will not mind the rest,
Nor question what the garments were
In which the form was dressed.
And many % man and woman fair
BY fortune reared and fed,
Who will not linger here below
with those who earn their bread.
When they have passed away from life.
Beyond the gates of pearl,

With many % servant girl.

.sDID you SWEAR, PAPA %

Flora was at the window watching for
papa. She was growing impatient, for
it was almost time for the stars to come
out, and she wanted to give him good
night kiss. Presently Flora's quick ear
caught the sound of familiar footstep,
and with cry of joy she bounded away
to meet her father. Before she reached
the gate gentleman who was passing
stopped to speak with him.
Suddenly the sunny face became cloud
ed, and slowly the child turned toward
the house, and sat down in her little
chair, and covered her face with her
hands.
The mother seeing her, said: us Flo
ra sick tonight 2" mo, mamma ;" and
then the little head bowed again. The
mother took her in her arms, and said !:
"Will not Flora tell me what troubles
her 2" II know must keep nothing
from my mother" Flora answered. Il
was watching for papa, and when be
came | ran out to meet him, but some
one called him, and while waited for
him to 60 away, heard some one swear.
Do you think it was papa? ?"
The mother knew not what to answer.
She knew that her husband frequently
took the name of God in vain, but tc
her sorrowing little one she could not
say this,
Flora slipped from her mothers arms
into her little chair, and again buried
her face in her hands, when her father
came in. He had missed the bright face
and bounding step of his little one, and
when he entered the house and she die
not come to meet him, though she mus
be ill. Taking her in his arms, he saiC
tenderly: ais my little Flora sick to
night ?'' mo, papa" What ha
troubled my darling then q After /
moments hesitation, Flora said ''Wher
l was waiting for you just now, | hearc
some one swear, and think it was th'
man on this side of the fence. "Was i
you, papa Did you swear 2"
1t was hard to meet the gaze of thos
clear eyes. What would not the tathe
at that moment have given could he hav
answered, NO, Flora, your father di'
not swear" From the silence and tn
averted gaze, Flora's quick intuition
gathered the truth, and she would no
be comforted.
Never before in the presence of hi
clild had an oath escaped this father
lips, and he was grleved that his littl
daughters faith in him should be :
shaken. If before his child he stoo
condemned. how can he appear befor
the Judge of all the earth ?-Congrego
