To GIRLs.-Here is some excellent ad-
vice which we wish all the girls to read and
remember. There is nothing lovely about
girl who is unkind to her mother, and we
sincerely hope, if you have mother TO
love. that YOU will always treat her with
kindness.
Have YOU father2 Have you a moth
erY Do YOU love them Girls, do you
know the value of your mother y? NO
BODY loves you, nobody will love you. as
she does. Do not be uugrateful for tnat
love do not repay it with coldness. IN
loved and unloving, you will live and die,
if YOU 40 not love and honor your father
and mother.
Never call either 'old man or old Wo-
man, 1t is too often habit, in this couIi-
try, for young people toname their parents
thus. This is rude, lmpudent and undutl-
full. Any aged person is an Old man or an
old woman.
There should be something sacred, some-
thing peculiar in the word that deslgnates
parents. The tone of voice in which they
are addressed should be affectIonate and
res3ectftll. A short, surely answer from
a child to parent falls very harshiy on
the ear of any person who has true luea
of lilial duty.
| Besure, girls, that you each win for
Yourselves the name of dutlful daughter.
1t is so much easier to be good daughter,
than good wife and mother. A chlld's
duties are much more easily performed
than a PARENTS; so that she who is good
daughter, may fail to be a good wife or
mother but she who fails in this trst,
most simple relation need never hope to hll
another so we'll Be sure, then, that you
are good daughter. 1t is the best pre-
para,ion for every station and will be It's
own reward.
The secret you dare not tell your mother
10 a dangerous secret, and one that will be
likely to bring you sorrow. The hours
Won snend with her, will not cause you re-
gret. and YOU should never feel disappoint-
cd or out of humor, for not being per-
mitted to 90 to some place to which you
wish 10 90. You should love her so well
that it would not be felt as punishment to
Give up the gayest party to remain with
her.
Nothing is more beautiful than to see a
Girl take off her things and sit smilingly
down with her mother, because she wishes
IL Go and kiss your mother, as you used
to do when a child, and never grow toe
large or wise to be child az her side.

If Science on her heavenward search.
Rolling the stiller charts apart,
Or delvlng hour by hour to win
The secrets Of Earth's nmost heart.

VI Frightening truth and love increased.
And some new Advent flood the world
In glory from the haunted East;
While souls on nobler heights of faith
May mark the mystic pathway grow
Clearer between their stand and Heavens

Such things may be, but what perforce

Sure as the wane OF flowers or grass;
The earth so rich IN tombs to-day,
There scarce seems space for Death to SOW
Who, who shall count her church-yard wealth

And we, poor waits, whose life-term flies
(Nhen matched with AFTER and BEFoRE)
Fleet as the aimlcss wind, or wave

lively new operation, transplanting
teeth" This operation he has been
performing for five years past very
successful, having failed only in two
cases in one hundred-pretty good sue

origi ator of the operation.

It's Too Expensive.

He was in the morning of manhood,
his eye clear and bright, his skin of 4
warm, ruddy glow, his step buoyant and
elastic, and his spirit bounding and
healthful. Said friend to him;
"Come in, Harry, and take q drink. ="
"No, Tom, it's too expensive. |

"Oh, pshaw! Come and drink with
meat any expense"
"No, Toni wouldn't drink at
your expense if 1 could; but that
thing could not be done. He who
drinks must do so at his own expense" :"
Nonsense! If I invite you in to
drink, and pay for it, what's the ex-

"Ah, Tom, dear boy, wasn't think

Whining.

There is a class of persons in this
world, by no means small, whose PROM
inent popularity is whining. They
whine because they arepOor, or if rich,
because they have no health to enjoy
their riches they whine because it is
too shiny; they whine because they
have "no luck" and others prosperity
exceeds theirs; they whine because
some friends have died and they are
still living; they whine because they
have aches and pains; they whine no
one can tell why. Now would ike.
to say word to these whining per-
sons.
First. Stop whining. It is of no
use, this everlasting complaining, fret
ting, scolding, fault-fnding, and whln-
ing. Why, you are the most deiuded
set of creatures that ever lived. Did
YOU not know that it is well settled
principal of physiology and common
sense that these habits are more ex-
haustiye of t:?rvous vitality than al
most any other violation of physiologi-
cal law! And do you know now that
life is pretty much as you take it and
make it? You can make it bright, sun
shiny, or you can make it dark, shad-
owy. This life is meant only to be
disciplinary-toft us for higher and
purer state of being. Then stop whin
ing and fretting, and Ego on yourway
rejoicing"
ily. Harkl Do you hear yonder bird
singing .joyously its merry carols, as it
hops from bough to bough in its ma
tive forest home? Initiate it Take up
your song of life, using it joyously and
bravely. Sing on, though you feel it
not.
You are miserable, nervous, dyspep-
tic, in wrong relation to- yourself and
ali eds universe, and that's all that
ails YOU. Then stop short, take up
the song of life and leave off for ever
that whine of death!
"A merry heart doeth good like
medicine; but broken spirit drieth
up the bones" Live simply, cheerful
ly, trustingly, and by and By your
troubles ''wili take to themselves wings
and fly away" You will gradually
grow more and more into harmony
With the natural order of things, and
the bright light of heaven will shine
pleasantly down into your souls and
baptise them into wlife.-LJe Illus

Let It Dry.

Mr.. Spurgeon once went to preach
in a church little outside of London.
The day was wet and muddy, and the
pants of Mr.. Spurgeon were plenti
fully covered with dirt. A good dea-
con in the vestry said, Brother Spur
geon, let me get brush and take off
some 8 of that mud, yeu can't go into
the pulpit in that state. Don't be
foolish, deacon |" said Mr.. Spurgeon
in his usual good-humored way, " don't
YOU see the mud is wet, and if you try
to rub it off now you will rub the stain
in the cloth? Let it dry and then it
will come off easy enough and leave
no mark" There is an admirable hint
here for every one. When evil spoke
against may be for the sake of the
truth and men throw mud at us, don't
be in a hurry about brushing it off.
Too great eagerness in this respect is
ant to rub the stain into the cloth.
Let it dry, and then by and by, II
need be. it can be removed by little
effort. If there is a little trouble in
the church don't foster it by haste and
hurry in doing something. Let it
alone! Let it dry, and it will be more
easily settled than you think now.
Time has wonderful power in such
matters, and it is surprising how many
things in this world would be far bet
ter q arranged, and how many difficult
ties easily got over by judiciously let
ting them dry.

A Sad Funeral.

The following touching incident,
related by the New Orleans Bulletin,
is well calculated to produce moist eyes
wherever it is read:
As a general thing funeral in this
great citv of ours attracts little or no
attention, but there was one which
passed through certain down town
thoroughfares yesterday, which drew
the notice of all who happened to be
On the streets at the time. 1t was one
of the saddest funerals ever witnessed.
No one knew who was being buried,
but from the size of the coffin they
knew it was a child. There was no
plumed hearse, ne carriages, for the
coffin was tenderly borne in the arms
of a gentee1 looking, though shabbily
dressed man. Behind him walked
four weeping women, poorly clad all
of them, one being without shoes.
The little cortege wended its way to
the cemetery, followed by many won
dering, pityfng looks, and the general
public pondered on the story it told of
poverty and of love and pride too
great to prevent the cherished form
heing laid away by the hands Of stran-
gers.

Jamaica Fruits at the Centennial

A Philadelphia letter says; A large
and very interesting collection Of fruits
and plant foods from Jamaica has been
placed on exhibition in agricultural
hall. Some of the fruits have proba-
bly never before been exhibited in this
country. Among them IRE four va
rieties of mangoes, a fruit with rich
and peculiar perfume and a delicate
taste. There are many specimens OF
the mammee apple, a round fruit from
three to five inches in diameter, peet1-
liar to the West Indies. A very cu-
rious fruit is the sapolla, which looks
not unlike q very rough-coated russet
apple. Several species of orange are
shown, including the sfaddock, which
is almost as .arge as y small boys
head, and what is called the forbid
den fruit" Both these are considered
very delicious by the people of ia
maica. The display of pineapples III
cludes four varieties, Many Of the
specimens are of fine quality hough
not of large size. There is good as
sortment of lines and some citrons.
Lar e chow-chow are shown. They
are boiled and eaten in the West
Indies, and are considered very del
icate dish. There are two specimens
of jack fruit, a species of bread fruit,
which are as large as a good sized
melon. The exhibit of cocoanuts is
very curious, many appearing in their
natural sta e, the nut being covered
with tough, fibrous husk some two
inches thick, of which the well-known
mating is made. Specime of the
true sugar-eane are displayed, some of
whit h. are about three inches in thick
ness at the larger end. Not the least
curious part of this unique collection
are the yams, of which there are four
varieties, including the Indian or
-Yampee, the most delicate of all.
One specimen of another variety
weights nearly fifty pounds, yet tEis
is not very large when enc learns that
tubers reaching nearly round hun
dred are not unfrequent. Though
these ,sweet-potato-like tubers are SO
| large, the real sweet potatoes shown
are also interesting from their size,
and would probablyweigh eight or ten
pounds. They sometimes grow to
twenty-five pounds in Jamaica. Some
| what similar, though of different
| family, are the cocoas, another curl
Gus tnber. The distinction between
bananas and pIantains may be traced
| in the large bunch of each which Il
not imported into this country, are
more in angu' az. They are only USED
when cooked, and are then exceedingly
nutritious. This attractive display il
made by the government of Jamaicf
at the instance of Mr.. Robert Thomp
son, the commissioner from that i'm
portant colony. This gen leman il
likely to be sorely tried if he con
!Finues to superintend the display wheI
| the sight-seers once find that such Gu
| riesities are to be seen. He says tina
let his recommendation, and in yiev
of the rise and growth within the pas
four years of a large trade in Jamaic'
| fruits with this country his govern
| ment intends TO exhibit fruits IN thei
succession until the end of the exhibl
ton. This will certainly form nota
bic and instructive part of the agri
| cultural display.
