Which would you do-smile and
make others happy, or be grabbed
and make everybody around you
miserable? You can live as it
were among beautiful flowers and
singing birds, or in the mire sur
rounded by frogs and loathsome
reptiles. The amount of happi-
ness you can produce is incalcula-
bic, if you can show a smiling
face and kind heart and speak
kind words. On the other hand,
by your looks, cross words and
fretful disposition, you can make
q number Of persons wretched
beyond endurance. Which will
you do? Wear a pleasant counte-
nance, let joy beam in yonr eyes,
and love glow in your face
There are few joys so great as
that which springs from a kind
act or a pleasant deed, and yon
may feel it at night whenyou rest
in morning when you rise, and
through the day when at your
daily business.

THAT'S ME."-I was sitting
down in the Orphanage grounds
upon one of the seats, talking
with one of our brother trustees,
when O. little fellow, I should think
about eight years of age, left the
other boys who played around us
and came deliberately up to US.
He opened fire on US thus
"Please, Mr.. Spurgeon, [ want
to come and sit down on that seat
between you two gentlemen"
"Come along, Bob, land tell us what
you want"
"Please, Mr.. Spurgeon, suppose
there was a little boy who had
no father who lived in an orphan
age with a lot of other little boys
who had no fathers, and suppose
those boys had mothers and aunts,
who coined once month, and
brought them apples and oranges,
and gave them pennies, and sup
pose this little boy had no mother,
and nobody ever coined to bring
him nice things, don't you think
somebody ought to give him a
penny? cause, MIR. Spurgeon,

"Somebody felt something wet
in his eye, and Bob got a sixpenee,
and went off in a state of delight

came around and as be said, ''No'

TWEED's FAITHFUL WIFE.--The

TwEED's FAITHFUL WIFE.--They
were married when the man was
a chairmaker, and they might
have had happy career had the
former remained honest. They
lived plainly, mingled with me-
chanics' society, and were the pa
rents of two boys and two girls,
good looking and healthy children.
The era of their unmeritorious
splendor has come and gone like
a dream. Each had a diamond
wedding, and each have sunk into
obscurity and poverty. The two
sons once held fine appointments
in the service of the Ring, but are
now only lounging around the
city hall. The mother is in wild
ow's desolation. The ill-gotten
wealth is almost all lgone. A million
and a half has passed into the
hands Of her lawyers, and her
husband is still a prisoner. A
seedy and corpulent old man, in
habitfng pair of rooms in Lud'
low street Jail is all that is left of
one who has been alderman, con-
gresham, chairmaker and lawyer,
commissioner of parks, public
buildings and docks, state senator,
and for seven years autocrat of
this city. The only redeeming
feature is the faithful wife, who is
reducing herself to poverty in
hope Of obtaining her husbands

D
WEIGHING THE BABY.

How many pounds does the baby weigh:
Baby who came but month ago;
How many pounds from the growing curl
To the rosy point Of the restless toe:
Grandfather ties the kerchief knot.
Tenderly guides the swinging weight;
And carefully over his glasses peers,
To read the record-''only eight"
Softly the echo goes around.
The father laughs at the Tiny girl;
The fair young mother sings the words,
While grandmother smooths the golden
curl.
And stopping above the precious thing,
Nestles kiss within prayer,
Murmuring softly, "Llitte one,
Grand father did not weigh you fair"
Nobody weighed the baby's smiles,
Or the love that came with the helpless
one;
Nobody weighed the threads Of care,
From which woman's life is spun.
No index tells the mighty worth
Ola little baby's quiet breath,
A soft, unceasiug metronome,
Patient and faithful unto death.
Nobody weighed the 5aby's soul,
For here on earth no weights there be
That could avail. God only knows
It's value in eternity.
Only eight pounds to hold a soul,
That seeks no angels silver wing,
But shriues it in its human guise
Within so fair and small thing.
Oh, mother, laugh your merry note,
Be gay and glad butdon't forget
From baby's eyes looks out soul
That claims home in Eden yet.

Bob Gratehivs Christmas Dinner.
BY CHARLES DICKENS

It was a remarkable quality OF
the Ghost (Which Scrooge had OBJ
served at the bakers) that, notWlth-
standing his gigantic size, he could
accommodate himself to any place
with ease; and that he stood beneath
allow root quite asgracefully and like
a supernatural creature, as it was
possible he could have done in any
lofty hall.
And perhaps it was the pleasure
the good spirit had in showing of
this power of his, or else it was his
own kind, generous, hearty nature,
and his sympathy with all poor men,
that led him straight to Scrooge's
clerks; for there he went, and
took Scrooge with him, holding to
his robe; and on the threshold OF
the door the spirit smiled, and
stopped to blessBob Cratchit's dwell
ling with the sprinklings Of his
torch. Think Of that! Bob had
but fifteen .:Bob" a week himself;
he pocketed on Saturdays but ff-
teen copies Of his Christian name'
andyetthe Ghost Of Christmas Pres,
ent blessed his four-roomed house
Then up rose Mrs. Cratchit, Graf
chit's wife, dressed out poorly IN a
twice-turned gown, but brave IN
ribbons, which are cheap, and make
goodly show for sixpence; and
she laid the cloth, assisted by Belln-
da Cratchit, second Of her daughters,
also brave in ribbons while Master
Peter Cratchit plunged a fork into
the saucepan of potatoes, and get
ting the corners of his monstrous
shirt collar into his mouth, rejoiced
to find himself SC gallantly attired,
and yearned to show his linen IN
the fashionable parks. And now
two smaller Cratchits, boy and girl
came tearing in, screaming that out
side the bakers they had smelt the
goose. and known it for their own;
and basking in luxurious thoughts
of sage and onions, these young
Cratchits danced about the table,
and exalted Master Peter Cratchlt
to the skies, while he (not proud al
though his collar nearly choked
him) blew the f~e, until the slow
potatoes, bubbling mp knocked
loudly at the saucepan lid to be let
OUT and peeled.
:What has ever got your precious
father, them" said Mrs. Cratchit.
"And your brother Tiny Tim ;
and Martha warn't as late last
Christmas day by half an hour"
sHere's Martha, mother!" said a
girl appearing as she spoke.
"Here's Martha, mother!' CRIED
the two young Cratchits. '*Hur-
rah! There's such goose, Mar
tna!"
"Wby bless your heart alive, my
. dear, how late you are!" said Mrs
Cratchit, kissing her a dozen times:
and taking off her shawl and bonnet
: fer her with oficious zeal.

ALL ABOUT ADVERTISING.

Of course all newspapers want
advertisements, just as all mer-
chants desire to sell goods-just
as all manufacturers desire orders
for their wares-just as all far
mers desire customers for their
produce-just as all laborers de-
sire a position in which they
can get an equivalent for their Ia
Dor. The solicitor for advertise
ments is not in any sense a differ
ent man from him who waits upon
you for an order for goods, and
yet he is generally considered a.
bore if he asks for your advertise
ment. You look at himas though
you were about to confer an im-
mense favor if you yielded to. his
request. You don't advertise as
though you were investing in
something that would dproVead adVan-
tageous to yourself: You seem
TO think that when you pay for
advertising you are donating to
the newspaper man. You do
other things to bring your name
and business before the public
you ornament your place Of busi-
ness to attract cnstomers-you
hang out an expensive sign, and
arrange your wares attractiVely y,
and hire men to ask people to buy
your goods. But when you are
invited to make your wishes
known through the best and cheap
est medium in the world, you be-
gin to wonder how you can get
rid of this newspaper man with
out absolutely kicking him out Of
your establishment.
Here you make a great mistake.
Because you don't hear from an
advertisement as soon as it is in.
serted is no proof that the adVer-:
tisement is doing no good. One
seldom hears any good of himself.
To prove hog much effect notices
Of ones business are, note how
sensitive most men are IN regard
to what is said of them in the
newspapers, especially if the no.
tice is not altogether compliment
tary; note, too, how jealous are
many about what is said favor
ably Of another in the same line
of business. Thus do men tacitlY
admit the power of good and evil
Of notices in the public prints
and yet these same men will cry
out: "Well, I don't see as it does
me any good to advertise. )" This
theory that advertisingis simply
comforting a favor upon the editor
of the newspaper is the silliest ct
notions. One might as well say
he buys his groceries st Smiths
just to patronlze him, or his dry
goods Of Brown just to keep him
from starving, or gets shaved at
Thompson's because he wants to
encourage the tonsorial art. It's
all bosh. You trade where you
get the best return for your own
good, and not from any desire to
sustain your newspaper. .5.s.

ut should be Christmas day [ am

sure, SAID she, "on Whlcn one
drinks the health of such an odious,
stingy, hard, unfeelng man as MIR.
Scrooge. You know he is, Robert!
Nobody knows it better than you
do, poor fellow!"
"My DEAR" was Bob's mild an
swer, "Christmas day"
'Sl'u drink his health for your
sake, and the days." said Mrs Crat-
chit, mot for his. Long life to him!
A merry Christmas and a happy
New Year hell be very merry and
very happy, I have no doubt!'
The children drank the toast af-
ter her. It was the first of their
proceedings which hadno heartness
in it. Tiny Tim drank it last of all,
but he didn't care two-pence for it.
Scrooge was the ogre of the family.
The mention of his name cast a
dark shadow on the party which
was not dispelled for full five min
utes.
After it had passed away, they
we're ten times merrier than before,
form the mere relief of Scrooge
the baleflll being done with. Bob
Cratchit told them how he had a
situation in his eye for Master Pc
ter, which would bring in, if OBJ
tanned, full fve-and-si1-pence week
ly. The two young Cratchits
laughed tremendously at the idea
of Peters being a man of business;
and Peter himself looked thought
fully at the fire from between his
collars, as if he were celebrating
what peculiar investments he should
favor when he came into the receipt
of that bewildering income. Mar
tha, who was poor apprentice at
q milliner's. then told them what
kind of work she had to do, and
how many hours she worked at a
stretch, and now she menat to lie
abed tomorrow morning for good
long rest; tomorrow being holi-
day, she passed at home. Also
how she had seen a countess and a
lord some days before, and how the
lord was much about as tall as Pc
ter; at which Peter pulled up his
collar so high that you could not
have seen his head if you had been
there. At this time the chestnuts
went round and round, and by-and-
by they had a song, about a lost
child travelling in the snow, from
Tsny Tim, who had a plaintive lit
tie voice and sang it>very well in
deed.
There was nothing of high mark
in this. They were not a handsome
family; they were not well dressed;
their shoes were far from being wa
terproof; their clothes were scanty !;
and Peter might have known, and
very likely did, the inside of a
pawnbroker's. But they were hap
py, grateful, pleased with one an
other and contented with the time;
and when they faded, and looked
happier yet in the bright sparklings
of the spirits torch at parting
Scrooge had his eye upon them, and
especially Tiny Tim, until the last.
