millions of dollars, and two years of in
cesssnt labor to erect it. This winter
another large sum has been expended in
reftting, returuishing and adding to what
was rich and elegant before.
The exquisite Fresco.work, especially.
that beauties its halls, p%arlors, dining.
rooms, exchanges, etc would ftly adorn
the grsndest palace that was ever erected
The Grand Central ia also growing
famous for its table, and justified by its

OuR MINISTER'S SERHuN.

| The minister said last night, says he,
"Don't be afraid of giving; sr
If your life aint worth nothin' to othel
Why, what's the use of livin'e'
And that's what say to my wife, says /,
/ There's Brown, the miserable sinner,
He'd sooner beggar would starve than
A cent towards buyin' dinner
I tell you our minister is prime, he is,
But couldn't quite determine,
/ When heard him a givin' it right and left
| just who was hit by his sermon.
| OF course there couldn't be no mistake
When he talked of long-winded prayifl'
For Peters and johnson they sot and
scowled,
And the minister ne went on to say
There's various kinds of cheatin',
And religions as good for every day
As it is to bring to meetin'.
don't think much of the man that gives
The loud amens at my preacLin',
And spends his time the fOllowin' week
In cheatin' and overreachin'."
1 guess that dose was bitter enough
For q man like Jones to swallow:
But noticed he didn't open his mouth,
Not once. after that, to holler;
Hurrah, says /, for the minister
Of course l said it Met M ~
Give us some more of this open talk,
Its very refreShin' diet.
4u6 minister Ilt clll every LlH1es etkktsa
And when he spoke of fashion,
And riggin's out in bows ano things,
As wonaan's rulin' passion,
And coming to church to see the STYLES,
/ couldn't help a-winkin'
And a-nudgin' my wife, and says /, NThat's
And guess it sot her thinkin.
Says to myself, that sermons pat,
But man is q queer creation,
And Pm much afraid that lost of the folks
Won't take the application.
Now, if he had said word about
NV personal mode of sinnfn.'
I'd have gone to work to right myself,
And not set there a-grinnin.'
Just then the minister says, says he,
"And now I've come to the feIIers
Who've lost this shower by usin' their
friends
AS sort o. moral umbrellas,
Go home," says he, land find your faults,
Instead of huntin' your brothers
Go home," says he, "and wear the coats
You tried to fit for Others" AE ii
My " ife she nudged, and Brown he winked,
And there was lots o. smilin,'
And lots o. lookin' at our pew,
1t sot my blood a-bilin,'
Says to myself, our minister
Is gettin' alittle bitter,
I'll tell him, when the meetin's out, that /
Ai'nt at all that kind of a critter.

WHAT TO TEACH OUR BOYS.

In answer to the question, What
shall we teach our boys?" propounded
recently in the Cincinnati Times, Gale
Forest replies as follows:
Teach them to respect their elders
and themselves. Teach them that, as
they expect TO be men some day, they
! cannot too soon learn to protect the
weak and helpless.
Teach them to saw wood, split it,
bring it in. carry water, empty slops,
make the fires, tend the baby, and make
themselves otherwise generally useful
around the house.
Teach them how to run a sewing ma
chine, and properly use needle and
thread
Teach them, by your own example,
that smoking in moderation, though
the least of the vices TO which men are
heirs, is disgusting to others and hurt
full to themselves.
Teach them that to wear patched
clothes is no disgrace, but to wear
'black eye" is.
Teach them that dime novels and
similar reading are an invention of
Satan.
Teach them that playing cards"
may lead to gambling.
Teach them that swearing is an un-
