The Good Fellow.

There is a photograph of one whom
everybody recognizes at glance, but who
manages to get through the world with an
amount of esteem and affection which
would do any quantity of better men good
service, while it is hopelessly wasted upon
his utter worthlessness, the Good Fellow.
The feature of the Good Fellows case
which makes it nigh hopeless, is, that he
thinks he is good fellow, that his pliable
disposition, his readiness to do other good
fellows a service, and his jolly ways atone
for all his faults, quite unaware that his
good fellowship is the result Of his makeup;
quite unaware that his sacrifice of honor,
and the honor and peace of his family for
the sake of outside praise, is the offspring
of the most heartless selishness; quite
unaware that his disregard of the interests
and feelings of those who are bound to
him by the closest ties of blood, is the
demonstration Of his utterly unprincipled
character; he carries an unruf1led or a
jovial front, while hearts bleed or break
around him. OF all the scamps society
knows, the traditional good fellow is the
most despicable. A man who for the sake
of his own selfish delights, or the sake of
the praise of careless or unprinoipled
friends, makes his home scene of anxiety
and torture, and degrades and disgraces all
who are associated with him in home life,
is, whether he knows it or not, brute.
If man cannot be loyal to his home and
those who love him, he cannot be loyal to
anything that is good. There is something
mean beyond description in any man who
cares moro for anything in this world than
the honor, the confidence and love of his
family. There is something radically
wrong in such a man, and the quicker and
more thoroughly he realizes it, in humilia-
ton which hurlos him to the earth in
| shame and confusion, the better for him.
The traditional good fellow is a bad fellow
| from the crown of his head to the sole of
his foot. He is as weak as a baby, vain as
a peacock, selfish as pig, and as unprin-
cipled as thief. He has not one redeem.
ing trait upon which a reasonable self
respect can be built upon and braced.
Give us that fellow who sticks to his
own, who stands by his personal and family
honor, who does not treat" his friends
while his home is in need of the money he
wastes, and who gives himself no indul-
gence of good fellowship at the expense of
duty A man with whom the approving
smile of wife, mother or sister, does
not weigh more than a thousand crazy
bravos of boon companions, is just no
man at all. Sound, is it not DR. Holland.

PECULIAR NEwsPAPER.-London has a
large weekly newspaper called the Obituary,
devoted, as its title shows, to obituary and
mortuary proceedings. 1t has an immense
circulation and columns of splendid adver-
tisements. Undertakers who get up funer-
ais in every variety; cremationists, embalm-
ers, vault makers and grave diggers all
have their say in these columns, while the
makers of humble tombstones and the
sculptors of gorgeous monuments are ready
to decorate the last home of man. Grape
makers, manufacturers of all sorts of
funeral appliances, and especially mourn
ing mantua makers, claim the attention of
the afflicted in their special advertisements.
Wills of distinguished individuals are
given, and lost wills advertised; the cards
of attorneys drilled in probate matters, and
advertisements for absent heirs, make up
a portion of its patronage. The reading
matter is all suited to the subject, while
the obituary notices form a staple item,
and, if necessary, choice notices are written
by distinguished writers for the afflicted
friends and relations, so as to move them
to appropriate grief and lead them to gen.
tie consolation. Many people are afflicted
with morbid love for such reading, and to
them this paper furnishes the choicest
matter. 1t takes all sorts of people to
make world, and there are those who
strive to please each sort of people. The
London Obituary has serious mission to
fill, and it seems determined to fill it.
Though devoted to the dead, and though
somewhat sepulchral in its tone and senti-
ments, it is evidently a thorougly live
newspaper.

EVERY DAY RELIGIoN.-We must come
back to our point, which is, not to urge all
ofyou to give yourself up to missien work,
but to serve God more and more in connsc
ton with your daily calling. have heard
that woman who has mission makes a
poor wife and bad mother; this is very
possible, and at the same time very lament.
able; but the mission would urge is not
of this sort. Dirty rooms slatternly gowns,
and children with unwashed faces are swift
witnesses against the sincerity of those
who keep others vineyards and neglect
their own. have no faith in that woman
who tells of grace and glory abroad, and
uses no soap and water at home. Let the
buttons be on the shirts, let the children's
socks be mendod, let the roast mutton be
done to a turn, let the house be as neat as
new pin, ard the home be as happy as a
home can be. Serve God by doing com.
mon actions in heavenly spirit, and then,
if your daily calling only leaves you cracks
and crevicies Of time fill these up with holy
eryice.--iSprgeon.

CHEEKY People.

Oh, the comfort of them There is but
one ething like them-that is sunshine. 1t
is the fashion to state the comprison the
other end foremost. e. to hatter the
CHEEKY people by comparing them to the
sun. think it is the best way Of prais
ing the sunshine, to say that it is almost as
bright and inspiring as the presence of
CHEEKY people.
That the CHEEKY people are brighter and
better even than sunshine is very easily
proved for who has not seen a CHEEKY
person make a room and a day bright in
spite of the SUMS not shining at all-in
spite of clouds and rain and cold all doing
their very best to make it dismal? There
fore say the fair way is TO compare the
sun to CHEEKY people, and not CHEEKY peo-
pie to the sun. However, whichever way we
state the comparison it is true and good
one, and neither the CHEEKY people nor the
sun need take offense. In fact l believe
they will always be such good friends, and
work so steadily together for the same ends,
that there is no danger of either's grudging
the other the credit of what has been done
The more you think of it the more you
see how wonderfully alike the two are in
their operation on the world. The sun on
the fields makes things grow-fruits and
flowers and grains; the CHEEKY person in
the house makes everybody do his best
makes the one who can sing feel like sing
ing, and the one who has an ugly, hard job of
work to do feels like shouldering it bravely
and having it over with. And the music
and mirth and work in the house, are they
not like the flowers and fruits and grains
in the field?
The sun makes everybody glad. Even
the animals run and leap, and seem more
joyous when it shines out; and no human
being can be so cross grained, or so i'll, that
he does not brighten up little when a
great broad, warm sunbeam streams over him
and plays on his face. 1t is just so with a
CHEEKY person. His simple presence makes
even animals happier. Dogs know the diff
ference between him and surly man.
When he pats them on the head and speaks
to them, they jump and gambol about him
Just as they do in the sunshine. And
when ne comes into the room where people
are i'll, or out Of sorts, or dull and moping,
they brighten up, spite Of themselves, just
as they do when sudden sunbeam pours
in--only more so; for we often see people
50 i'll they do not care whether the sun
shines or not, or to cross that they do not
even see whether the sun shines or not
out have never yet seen anybody so cross
or 50 Ill that the voice and face of CHEEKY
person would not make them brighten up
little.
II there were only sure and certain
recipe for making CHEEKY person, how

The Pool Of Sloan as it Now Appears

Charles Dudley Warner, in a recent ar
ticle to the atlantic, says:
On our way to the Pool of Sloan we
passed the village of Sloan, which is in
habited by about thousand Moslems-a
nest of stone huts and caves clinging to
the side-hill, and exactly the gray color of
its stones. The occupation Of the inhabi-
tents appears to be begging and hunting
for old copper coins, mites, and other pieces
of Jewish money.
These relies they pressed upon us with
the utmost urgency. 1t was easier to salts
ty the beggers than the traders, who sailed
out upon us like hungry wolves, from their
caves. There is great choice of disagree
able places in the East, but | cannot now
think of any that should not prefer as a
residence to Sloan.
The Pool of Sloan, magnifed in my in.
fant mind IS "Siloam's shady rill," is an
unattractive sink-hoIe of dirty water, sur.
rounded by modern masonry. The valley
here is very stony. Just below we come to

that we do things contrariwise to the

''crab-writing," because they say it "goes

DRIFTING AWAY,

Drifting away from each other
Silently drifting apart;
Nothing between but the words cold-screen.
Nothing to lose but a heart
Only two lives dividing
More and more every day;
Only one soul from another soul,
Steadily drifting away
Only mans heart striving
Bitterly hard with its doom;
Only hand, tender and bland.
Slipping away in the gloom.
Nothing of doubt or wrong,
Nothing that either can cure;
Nothing to shame, nothing to blame,
Nothing to do but endure
The world cannot stand still,
Tides ebb, and women change;
Nothing here that is worth tear,
One love less-nothing strange.
Drifting away from each other,
Steadily drifting apart
No wrong to each other that world can reach.
Nothing lost but a heart

A CENTENNIAL DANaER.-A good story is
being told of two young misses, living at
Murry Hill, who went to the Centennial
last week. They were accompanied by
their beauX, and on the grounds they were
so badly mixed in the crowd that they
exchanged their escorts. Miss A. took Mr..
B. who belonged to Miss G., and the latter
took Mr.. D. who belong to Miss A. They
never met again in Philadelphia, and when
they all got back to this city Miss A. liked
Mr.. B. SO well that she discarded Mr.. D.,
and the latter liked her so well, in return,
that he discarded Miss c. So the net re.
suit is, that Miss A. and Mr.. B. are engaged;
and the other pair hate each other, and
their respective rivals, and themselves, with
an intensity of hate only girls of eighteen

VOLUME XXII.---NO. "a.
THE UNBOLTED DOOR.

An aged widow sat alone
Beside her narrow hearth;
Her silent cottage never heard
The ringing laugh of mirth.
Six children had sported there;
But now the churchyard snow
Fell softly on five little graves
Turt-covered long ago.
She mourned them all with patient love;
But since, her eyes had shed
Far bitterer tears than those which dewed
The faces of the dead.
The child which had been spared to her,
Her darling and her pride,
The woeful mother lived to wish
That she had also died.
These little ones beneath the snow,
Not lost, but gone before,
Faith taught her all was well with them;
And then the pang was DER.
But when she thought where Katie was
She saw the city's glare,
The painted mask of bitter joy
Which need gives sin to wear.
Without, the snow was thick and white,
No step had fallen there;
Within, she sat beside the fire,
Each thought silent prayer
When suddenly. behind her seat,
Unwonted sounds she heard,
As though a hesitating hand
The rustic latch had stirred.
She turned and there the wanderer stood,
With snow-aakes in her hair
faded woman, wild and worn,
The ghost of something fair.
And then upon the mothers check
The withered brow was laid
Can God and you forgive me all?
For have sinned, she said.
The widow dropped upon her knees
Before the fading fire.
And thanked the Lord, whose loving hand
Had granted her desire.
The daughter keeled beside her too,
Tears streaming from her eyes,
And prayed, God help me to be good
To mother ere she dies"
They did not talk about the sin,
The shame, the bitter woe
They spoke about those little graves
And things of long ago.
And then the daughter raised her eyes,
And said, in tender tone,
why didyou keep your door unbarred,
When you were quite alone?'
MY child y the widow said, and smiled,
A smile Of love and pain,
81 kept itso. lest you should come,
And turn away again.
I've waited for you all the while
A mOtbers1ove is true;
Yet it is but the shadowy type
OF His trhO died for you."

The INGENUITY OF SURGERY.-An artificial
nose was manufactured recently for man
in Illinois, whose nose had been bitten off
IN the following manner: After he was
placed under the influence Of chloroform
the pattern, two and half by three and
three-quarters inches at its widest parts,
was laid upon the forhead and outlined
with iodine. The skin inside this area was
taken out, left fast at the lower end. be-
tween the eyebrows. This was then pul.
led down, turned upon itself, shaped into
the form of nose, nostrils being cut, and a
piece was brought down to make the divis-
ion between them, and grated, as it were
IN the upper lip. In the meantime the
sides, where the nose was to grow, had
been freshenod by cutting. The stitching
was done, the place in the forehead where
the skin was removed attended to, and the
operation was complete. At last accounts
the operation gave every premise of sue
cess.
