BN HESTER A. BENEDICT.
If you were to travel the wide world over
keeping your eyes open always, you would
find never a sweettr or sadder face than
that of Elinor Lee as she went slowly up
the brick walk leading from the front-yard
gate TO the cottage that was her home, and
paused moment before entering the house
to watch the snow birds twittering about
the beds on myrtle on either hand, and to
quiet the best of her heart, that somehow
seemed strangely out Of sorts that New
Years eve, whose biz til and death was but
one week gone.
For full FIVE minutes she waited ut the
threshold, looking through the skeleton
boughs above her to the unIit clouds, that
grey and cold and ominCus seemed nearer

ever and anon something that might have
been a snow flake but was not), and say

quite happy, and that she ought to be,
She was young and well beloved; she
lad work to do and strength to do it; she
had home and mother, God was good
to her; and she would be unappr ecative,
ungrateful, and even wicked If she were TO
seem unhappy she of all Others in all the
world.
| So she misunderstanding there in the
young twilight of the Old Years passing

darling Elinor's supper, and going softi,
up behind her, she put both arms srounc

shower OF kisses over the still young moth

"Why, Ehno-? What a there. Sc

"Never mind, little mother" the girl ans

A Bad Man.

He slid into butcher store on Central
avenue the other evening, and took seat
on the far end of the counter. He was a
tall, placid man, with an old gnngham um-
brella under his arm, and when the butcher
asked him what he wanted, be said:
"Nothin' particular. Jest dropped in to
see how you was getting on"
The butcher looked at him, wondering
what business it was Of bis, anyhow, bu,
much attention to a man who had only

DO IT Well.

Whatever you do, do it we'll. A job
slighted, because it Is apparently unimpor-
tant, leads to inhabitual neglect, so that
men degenerate, insensibly, into bad work
men.
"That's good rough job" said fore
man in our hearing, recently; and he
meant that it was piece of work not elegant
in itself, but strongly made and well put
together.
Training the hand and eye to do work
we'll leads individuals to form correct habits
in other respects; and good workman is,
in most cases, good citizen.
No one need hope to rise above his pres
ent situation who suffers small things to pas,
unimproved, or who neglects, me TIA phorically
! speaking, to pick up a fartting because il
is not a shilling.
Take heart, all who toll; all youths in
humble situations, all in adverse crcum-
stances, and those who labor unapprciated
If it be put to drive the plough, strive to DE-
it well; if only to cut bolts, make gooC
ones; or to blow the bellows, keep the iror
hot. 1t is attention to business that lift I
the feet higher up on the ladder.

My winter wheat was heavy and
somewhat LODGED, but my Reaper cut
it clean and made good gavels. In Grass,
it will beat the WORLD. 1t is also very

The other day, as a Detroit undertaken
was walking along, accompanied by his
son, he took off his hat and made low
bow to an oldish man whom they saw across
the street. "Father, why do you take of
your hat to such an old codger?" inquired
the son. "My son, that man has ten chill
dren, some of whom will die before the
summer is out, and he pays cash down fol
everything" answered the father.
