Keep Cheerful.

1t is not very difficult for a person
TO be sunny tempered when every
thing is going prosperously with him.
When a man has made two or three
hundred dollars q day, and all the
signs are favorable for his making
the same amount tomorrow how
good natured he can be. When the
hour comes to close the store, he
takes his hat from the peg, buttons
up his overcoat, draws on his gloves,
and starts for his home with the feel
ing Of a king. He feels kindly to-
ward everybody. He buys paper
of the newsboy, snaps him a ten cent
scrip, and hurries along without
waiting for the return change,
chuckling to himself as if he had per-
petrated a first-class joke. When he
comes to his house he smiles at the
servant, kisses his wife-or ought to,
-bounces the baby, and fills the en-
tire household with sense of his
own satisfaction. All, me, How
easy it is to be good natured under
such circumstances. What saints we
all are when we have all we want.
But times change The business
sky looks darker and becomes black
with ominous clouds. Under our
feet run rumblings and the Fremont
tory unsteadiness which always pre-
cedes a financial earthquake. The
commercial atmosphere is notion
less and oppressive; everybody
senses danger. Buyers are timid,s ,sel-
lers are suspicious. The current
trade shrinks. Goods remain unsold !;
paper on which you had relied goes
to protest; household expenses begin
to crowd: small bills accumulate; !;
duns grow imperative. All, now is
the time friend, when good nature in
you is a virtue; yea. a grace, and a
grace so white that it shall be seen in
the highest heaven, and noted there.
Now is the time to show what stuff
you are really made Of Now is the
time, if you are a gentleman to prove
it. II you love your wife, now is the
time to show it; if you have faith in
something nobler. higher, sweeter
than this world and its possessions,
let that faith be manifest i'm your
conduct everywhere. Don't take a
gloomy face, and a .surly voice, and
sour temper to your household.
That household has its own cares,
and troubles, and clouds enough in
its own sky. Tell your wife your
difficulties; but in such brave, gen.
tie and loving way as, instead Of op-
pressing her spirits, will cause them
rather, to rise buoyantly at the
thought that she is fully trusted by
you and may be able to trust you.
"Bear We one another's burdens, and
so fulfill the law of Christ. t."-Goldera

Select STORY.
Seeing Better Days.

The widow Minton has seen better
days. How far back wasn't exactly
certified; but she had seen them.
Better days hung moldily about her,
like the defaced shreds of antiquated
embroidery.
The sturdy gossips OF the seaside
village, who went about with their
skirts tucked up and their bare brown
arms ready and able for any work,
looked, looked askance at the widow
Minton, with her pitiful meagerness
of aspect, her fiickering black eyes,
and her trailing old gown. They
nudged each other. and said, Better
days-Lord save us!'
But the widow did not trouble the
neighbors much, nor they her. A
body who couldn't do a heartsome
hands stirring was best left alone to
her broOding. and the widows smoky
little cabin, solitary apart on the sea-
shore, was left pretty much to her
self and her boy Tom.
Tom was sturdy, brOwn-faced lad,
who picked up living by doing odd
jobs for the boatmen, and now and
then taking a day for fishing. Tom
had probably never seen better days.
The widow shook her head over him
so stupidity content, poor Tom; so
beaming and good-natured over beg
parliness and hopelessness. A tall,
well l-grown fellow, with bare feet, a
torn straw hat, and a red shirt. Tom
took the world easily, looking with
reverent eyes on his mothers by
gone gentility, and by no means
seeming to covet it for himself.
The widow deemed it due to her
past respectability to be seen at
church of a Sunday evening, and you
could see the two walking at twilight
along the sands together, she with
her clean cket-handkerchief folded
over her only hymn-Dook and cer-
tain doubtful hesitancy Of gait, as il
heaven itself might be looking down
critically on her shabby black gown
and rusty bonnet. As for Tom, pa
tient Tom, he went plodding slowly
after her, with his smiling face, whist
ling as he went Always patient, al
ways plodding, poor Toni Patiently
falling asleep during the sermon, and
patiently listening, open-mouthed, to
the closing hymn. his careless, bright
face, contrasting so oddly with his
mothers querulous and tear worn
visage won for him the sobriquet OF
widow Minton's rainbow
The minister of the parish, mis-
taken soul, deemed it incumbent to
make "A call on the widow; and, or
charity bent, it is said he unwarily
offerd to employ her services i'm his
household for a season. He deemed
it his duty to rouse the old woman to
activity.
He did rouse her; and it is averreC
that he never found time to call al
the cabin again. Did he take her FOL
common household drudge, or :
low born field-hand? She thanked
God she had too much spirit left YET
to put herself under anybody's feet
He hadn't far to go to find scores o.
drudges and diggers, but he might 60
further before he knew lady wheI
he saw her.
1t might have been the afternoon
after the good mans visit that the
widow sat idly brooding at her cabiI
door. Her eyes had "a wandering, far
away look, and her face was keenel
and thinner than ever. Beyond the
bluff which sheltered her cabir
stretched fair line OF seacoast, th'

THE ENGINEER.

!. A AULLs.
Jack Judkins an engineer;
l knew him yearsago.
His engine was considered fast.
While he was slightly 50.
'TwOuld seem that Jacks skilled hand alone
Could make the monster glide,
But no, he always took along
Two drirers on each side.
They never "spoke" to make complaint,
But worked wheneer desired;
Though never wearied with their toll.
The fellows all were tired.
~.
whene'er his stoker fed the flames,
And made the cinders fly,
The engine puffed plain words,
.'Youd better mind your eye"
OF science, fame. he never tried
To scale the mountain tops;
lie made no pa,'se~ when he read.
But had 10 mind his stops.
vi.
He ne'er was bound by nuptial knot,
Not that he was not wise
Though linked attachments followed fast,
lie rode DER countless ties.
Those mystic chords that bind our hearts
To all things pure and good2
Could never couple on" to him;
He wanted cords Of wood
The headlight, by whose rays at night,
He might each thing detect
Along the route, surpassed him quite,
Ii could and did reflect.
Sometimes in winters frosty air,
rod would snap, divide,
And thus ,rtho,sf a parallel,
She ran upon one side.
One day his engine Jumped a frog
The oaths fell round like hail,
And having been thrown of the track,
of course he left the 'r'-rail.
NJ.
And once he tried TO pass a train,
Upon a single track;
They took his engine 10 the shop.
While he was ''taken back"
And now it grieves me sore to tell,
How he rent dotrH 10 death;
He fell while keeping to the right,
Cold water stopped his breath
NIII
The engine the .up Express
Broke down one murky night
And Jack was sent 10 "bring them in"
He ran both wild and light
XIV.
A bridge was open for a bark,
And he no signal saw
Alas, that his short game Of life
Should "wind up" in "draw."

Mr.. Jerry Pierce met with an acci-
dent, last Saturday morning, that
might very easily have made it our
sad duty to chronicle his death. AS
it was, his throat was cut from ear to
ear, and that. too, by COW. In try
ing to catch chicken in his barn he
chased it into stall where was cow
with a young calf. The chicken
caught squalled, whereupon the calf
"blaated," and the COW, deeming her
calf in danger, made charge at Mr..
Pierce, and proceeded to do a very
scientific job Of throat cutting with
her horns, laying bare the jugular
vein, cords and wind-pipe. When
the cow came the second time Mr..
Pierce caught her horn with his
hands, and guided them on either
side Of his face, preferring to test the
comparative hardness OF heads. He
then escaped, and after DR.. Lether-
man had sewed up the wound felt but
little worse for the Talpar-
also Vidette.

THE IMPETUS TO EDUCATI0N.-There Is
something remarkable in the impetus which
is now being given to educational agencies
in various countries abroad. america has
set an example in this respect Which has not
been lost upon other nations. While learn
ing has always been valued among all peo-
Ole, it may be SAID without cXaggeratlon
that the idea of educating whole people
OF placing within the reach Of all classes the
opportunities of education-was never
thought Of among mankind till the expert
ment was first originated i'll America. This
is one OF the proudest boasts OF our cOun-
try; il is one which cannot be controversial,
and it is q source of reasonable eXultation
that the example set in this direction has
been SO generally followed. We see that
even the mother country, which might
naturally be supposed not to be inclined
to follow the example OF any OF her chill
dren, has passed IN act which requires
Its officers to bring in for instruction all
children under the age OF fourteen, and that
normal schools have been establishedin Fin
land. The Italian Government, in which
sixty OF every hundred men in the country
can neither read nor write, is about to estab-
liSb free schools. What is still more remark.
able Is the progressive sfgnin Japan, where
there are already seven normal schools, the
Oldest OF which Is now sending out teach,
ers TO all parts OF the country, aad where
the demand is absolutely greater than the
supply. 1t u stated that besides these are
Government universities, schools OF techno-
9 .iogy, and Government School Bureau.
ssThe exact number of schools in Japan at
this TINE Is not known, but at the close OF
