down." chad not the courage" l call it
laziness. She has brought up large
family of children, and educated them her
self. To be sure, she has had good health,
and it was her children she was working
for: but was not the bundle heavy one?
That gentleman We just passed is Robert
Fielding. | never see that man but feel
my blood boil. "Why?' Pll tell you
why; you know he is the son of Rev. John
Fielding. About twenty years ago, he
wanted to go to college. How to manage
it the family could not tell, but it must be
done. Bob was the only son, and they
hoped SO much from him. Why he might
be the support of the whole family. The
daughters sought employment and all their
little earnings were devoted to him, the
only servant was discharged and in every
way ali economical and saved for him.
In the third year of his college course
you could often meet him with a stylish
turn out from livery and finely-dressed
young lady by his side and one of the best
of Havanas in his mouth. As soon as he
left college he was entirely taken up with
the idea of getting into business and being
married. Now he is doing fine business,
but his wife and family need every cent.
His sisters support their aged father and
just manage to get along. Those sisters
have carried huge bundle during their
lives. Is it to be wondered at that some
times they long for the time when the
bundle shall be rolled off forever.
We have only time to glance at the
Church and Sunday school part Of the
answer. The very mention of these calls
to mind plans and projects, fairs and pic
MICS, new libraries, presents to the Pastor
and 4 multitude of other things undert aiken
by goodly number and left for two or
three to carry through. Hard worked,
severely criticized if anything goes wrong,
unthanked are these two or three. They
carry the bundle.
niNrs ABOUT BEAUTY.-There is not
anything more unfavorable to female beauty
than late hours. Women who, either from
necessity or choice, spend most of the day
IN bed, and the night at work or dissipa-
ton, have always pale, faded complexion
and dark -rimmed, wearied eyes. Too much
sleep is almost as hurtful as too little, and
is sure to bloat the person with pallid
and unwholesome fat. Diet also has a
marked influence upon personal beauty.
Generous living is favorable to good looks
as it tends to fill out and give color and
sickness to the skin. A gross and exces-
sive indulgence, however, in eating and
drinking is fatal to the female charmc es-
| peclally where there ID great tendency to
"making flesh.n Regularity Of time in
the daily repast and scientific cooking are
| the best means of securing not only good
health but good looks. The appetite should
never be wasted during the intervals be-
tween meals on pastry, confectionery, or
any other ticker of the appetite, vhi5h
! rratiGes tine taste, but does not SUPPORT
The system. Exercise is, of course, essen
tial to female beauty. 1t anlmates the
whole physical life, quickens the circula-
/ ton of the blood, heightcns the color, de-
vclops the growth, and perfects the form
of each limb and the entire body. 1t also
gives beauty and grace to every movement.
