A Plea for the Little Ones.

Said mother to me one day When my
children were young. | thought the very best
thing could do for them was to give them
myself. So spared no pains to talk with
them, to teach them, to read to them, 10 pray
with them, to be loving companion and
friend to my children had to neglect my
house many times had no time 10 indulge
myself in many things which should have
liked to do. | was so busy adorning their
minds and cultivating their hearts best af
fections, that | could not adom their bodies
in fine clothes, though kept them neat and
comfortable at all times. have my reward
now. My sons are ministers of the Gospel.
my grown-up daughter a lovely Christian
woman. | have plenty Of time to sit down
now and rest, plenty of time to keep my
house in perfect order, plenty Of time to in
dulge myself in many ways, besides going
about my Masters business wherever He
has need of Inc. have a thousand beauti-
ful memories of their childhood to comfort
me. Now that they have gone out into the
world, have the sweet consciousness of hav-
ing done all could TO make them ready for
whatever work God calls them to do
gave them the best coud-myself."
All, dear mothers you who have little
children in your arms and about your knees,
remember this-the best thing you can do
for your children is TO give them yourselves
There are countless calls upon your time and
strength, heavy burdens Of care and labor
are laid upon you perhaps, still | entreat you
TO put the claims Of your little ones first of
all. They have a right to your love and
sympathy your constant care and compan-
ionship. They instinctively run to you with
all their little troubles and joys, unless by
your careless Indifference TO little things
which are nothing to you, but everything to
them, you drive them from you. You mean
to do the very best you can for them. You
mean they shah become Christians, by-and-
by. Look about you and see how many
other mothers are weeping tears Of bitterness
and anguish, are besieging the throne Of
grace day and night for their grown-up,
wayward, unconverted children. Do You
know why Because they were too busy TO
attend to the little ones. Because the enemy
had found plenty of time to SOW tares in
their young hearts, and they sprang up, and
were bearing bitter fruit before the mother
had thought to SOW the good seed.

Fatal Fortune.

One fine morning, more than three months
since, you were riding with your brother,
Miss Anstell. in Hyde Park. II was hot
day, and You had allowed your horses TO fall
into walking pace. As you passed the
railing ON the right hand side, near the east
ern extremity Of the lake in the park, neither
YOU nor your brother noticed a solitary wo-
man, lettering on the foot path to look at the
riders as they went by.
The solitary woman was my old nurse,
Nancy Connell. And these were the words
she heard exchanged between you and your
brother as you slowly passed her
Yolr brother said, " Is it really true that
Mary Brading and her husband have gone
10 America
You laughed Gas if the question amused
you). and answered, Quite true"
" low long will they be away 2" your
brother next asked.
"As long as they live" you answered,
with another laugh
BY this time you had passed beyond Nancy
Connell's hearing. She owns to having fol
lowed your horses a few steps to hear what
was said next. She looked particularly at
your brother lie took your reply seriously
he seemed to be quite astonished by it.
Leave England. and settle in America &"
he exclaimed. "Why should they do that e"
"Who can tell why 2" you answered
MARY Brading's husband is mad and Mary
Brading herself is not much better"
You touched your horses with your whip,
and, in a moment more, you and your brother
were out Of the old nurses hearing. She
wrote and told me, what here tell you, by
recent mail, have been thinking OF
those last words Of yours in my leisure hours
more seriously than you would suppose The
end Of IL is that | take up my pen on behalf
Of my husband and myself to tell You the
story Of our marriage, and the reason Of our
emigration to the United States of America.
It matters little or nothing, to him or to
me, whether our friends in England think
us both mad or not Their opinions, hostile
or favorable, are of no sort of Importance to
us. But you are an exception 10 the rule.
In bygoue DAYS at school we were fast and
firm friends and-what weighs with me
even more than this-you were heartily loved
and admired by my dear mother. She spoke
of you tenderly on her death bed. Events
have separated us Of late years But | can
not forget the old times and | cannot feel
Indifferent to your opinion of me and my
hushand-though an ocean does separate us,
and though we are never likely to look ON
one another again, 1t is very foolish Of me,
| dare say, TO take seriously to heart what
you said in one of your thoughtess moments,
/ can only plead in excuse that | have gone
through great deal Of suffering, and that
| was always (as You may remembe) a per
son of sensitive temperament, easily excited
and easily depressed
Enough Of this DO me The last favor
shall ever ask Of you. Read what follows,
and judge for yourself whether my hus-
band aud ! are quite so mad as You were
disposed to think Of US, when Nancy Connell
heard you talking to your brother in Hyde
Park.

A Dog ON the Police Force.

He is communicating, medium
sized, jet-black dog. Officer Mitchell
came in possession OF him one bleak
winter night last season, when the dog
was shiyering on the street in starv-
ing condition. He was taken home and
provided for, aud ever since be has Prov
ed valuable addition TO the police force
by assisting the officer IN the discharge
of his duties He follows the officer
Increasingly on all bis rounds, and when
another officer raI's for assistance. the
dog makes haste with all speed to the
spot aud commences 10 bark. Should
any Of the officers have occasion to give
chase after any one, he dog marks ont
the man, and catching him by the pan
falcons detains him BY worrying until
the arrival Of tho officers. 4 short time
ago the officers succeeded in capturiag
a prisoner that. without the assistance
OF the dog would have escaped The
dog can discern intoxicated persons
from others, and should lie meet with
such case in his own peranbulations,
he keeps up howl until the officer ar
rives. The police always make ii a
point to go to the spot where the dog is
barking, aud they are never fooled. The
most singular feature of the dogs life is
that he will not accompany Officer
Mitchell in daylight whep dressed In
citizens clothes. He sleeps in daylight
and is always on duty with the officer,

Friday afternoon. He said in
speaking on the financial questions:
''rhe general paralysis of business

opinion that wise craftsmanship

starvation, and health and strength

unshaken confidence that the ma

A Sister af the Cardimdaiant
discovered.

The discovery OF a female mummy
near Barren county, KY, is attracting
considerable attention. It is that of a
woman -four feet five inches in length.
When found it was lying on its left side,
in a sleeping posture. The left arm
was resting on the ground, but the left
hand has disappeared. The right arm
rests on the bosom, with the hand tuck
ed under the chin. The flesh on the
arms and lower limbs is shruoken, but
the body and head are well preserved
The face is round, full AID very beauti-
full. 1t is perfectly white, and shows
no Indian characteristics In form or fea-
ture. The mouth is small, and the lips
are partly open, exhibiting the front
teeth. 1t shows unmistakable evidence
Of having been ia its present position
for an indefinite period Of time. A large
number of the people are flecking to see
it, but nc one has yet been able to tell
to what race Of human beings it belongs.

Heart Tributes to RaEston,

The display Of flowers, brought by
friends and placed about the casket,
was surprisingly beautiful, even for this
place. Crosses, crowns, wreaths, am
chors, massive boquets, and garlands Of
the rarest and most exquisite flowers fill
ed the air with their perfume and ex-
pressed the sympathies and respect of
hundreds. 1t was touching to observe,
among these magnificent floral offerings
here and there little bunch containing
a dusty rose, bit Of mignonette and
other simple fragrant flowers brought as
gifts by poor women, little children and
Others who had no better way of ex-
pressing their affsctionate gratitude to
the great banker in whose long and
brilliant career their wants had never
been forgotton.-Alta California. Aug.

The New York Sun says: miss
Louisa Harrison and Miss Flood,
of Harlem, visited the Manhattan
House, kept by Owen Geoghegan,
at 1913 Bowery, on Friday night of
last week. Among the company
there was the stalwast prize-fght-
err, Martin Neary, alias the 'Fid-
der Mr.. Neary is well known
in sporting circles by his battle
with Peter Croker and his contest
with Billy Edwards on the stage
of the Bowery theatre last winter.
One day last week he withstood
the Handley brothers in q fight at
Houston. street and the Bowery.
On Friday he was reposing in the
Manhattan house, after the heat of
battle, when Miss Harrison, who
is IS years cd and pretty, entered
the saloon. She became enamored
Of Neary and Neary at once fell in
love with her.
Miss Harrison said, in voice
that Neary overheard, that she al
ways wished to marry prize
fighter, because such man could
protect her; that she would rather
have such husband than any
other in the world. Neary's heart
could not Withstand this, and he
invited the ladies TO take glass of
beer. After the glasses were empt-
ied he said to Miss Louisa that he
thought she would make him a
good wife and help him to lead a
better life. He then plumply ask
ed her to marry him. The
offer was accepted, and mes

Miss Harrison clasped hands and
the Justice married them. Mr..
Neary opened a bottle of wine,and
when that was exhausted, two kegs
OF beer were tapped. The happy
