Little HUrls1f.

Are you sure mother said we might
spend the change out of this so cents,
Harry ?" asked little Jennie Green, as
she and her brother walked along togeth-
er to the corner grocery to do an errand
for their widowed mother.
''Sure why of course I'm sure; didn't
you hear mother calling after me your
self?"
eyes, I heard her, but thought she
said, Take care of the change Let me
run back, Harry, and ask her. I'll catch
up with you before you get to the gro
cery?"
No you won't, young miss; you just
come right along with me- Pshaw what
soft things girls are, anyway. Don't
you suppose I know what I'm doing? If
mother didn't say 'spend the change,
she said something like it; anyway I'm
going to spend it for candy, and she
can't get it back very well after I eat
the candy
Poor, little, timid, conscientious Jen-
ME had her doubts about the
propriety of such procedure, for she
knew well how hard her poor mother
had to work to make ends meet. How
ever, she kept her thoughts to herself
till Harry was about to buy candy with
the 10 cents of change, when she said,
"Please brother, only buy half. I will
go without and take my cents home to
mother, for she may need it."
There you go again, little preacher.
Take your cents, baby, and go home
to your mother: I'm going on the lake
to have a skate; and look here, if moth
er asks you about the missing cents,
tell her you have lost it.
" Ralloo, Frank Brown. Is that you,
old fellow? Come along, and let us have
a good, old-fashioned skate tonight.
Hurry up, Jennie, and go home, but
don't tell mother where I've gone to-
Poor, little Jennie that was the last
time she heard the sound of her reck-
less brothers voice, for he went down
through a hole in the ice into the lake
with all his sins upon him. His poor
mothers prayers have been full of thank
fulness to God who took him, her only
son, before he had broken her heart al
together
Be careful, dear little children, how
you begin to steal pennies from your
mothers, for the lies you will have to
tell to cover up your thefts will harden
your hearts till you gradually fall into
the pitfalls of sin and temptation as
poor little Harry did into the lake.

THE HARPER BROTHERS

It is almost impossible to think of one
of the Harpers without recalling all the
brothers, and their lives were SO blended
that it is impossible to tell of the career
of any single member without drifting
into history Of the whole firm. More
than that, it is difficult to tell charac-
teristic story of the one without illus
trating the peculiarities of the Others.

was the bland and broad humorist of the
concern, always good-natured, and as

funny st ry would permit him to be-

what his duties in the firm consisted of,

IOUTH EUL HEROISM.

A little girl has just exhibited grea
heroism in Pictou, n. S. She was onl,
years old, and was with her brother
aged years, locked up by her mothe.

parel took fire from lamp. Alice, the
little girl, knew that the key was left il

9 What Everybody Says Must be True"

The incontrovertible testimony offered by
those who have used DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription induced the doctor to sell it under a
positive guarantee. Many ladies have refrained
from using it on account of a general feeling of
prejudice against advertised medicines. Let
me ask question. Are you prejudiced against
sewing machines because you have seen them
advertised? or can you doubt the ingenuity and
skill required in their invention? Again, would
you refuse to insure your house because the
company advertised that it had paid millions in
losscs, and yet had capital of several millions
Do such advertisements shake your confidence.
and create preiudices? Then why refuse to
credit the testimony of those who have found
the Favorite Prescription to be ell that is
claimed for it in overcoming those ailments,
peculiar to your sex? Why submit to the use
of harsh, and perhaps csustic treatment thus
aggravatlng your malady, when relief is guar
anteed, and positive, perfect and permanent
cure has been effected In thousands of cases ?
WABASH STATION, ILL.,, Oct. "a, 1876.
r. V. PIERCE, NJ. D., Buffalo, n. Y:
Dear Shallow me to extend my most sin
cere thanks to you for the great benefit my
wife has received from the use of your Favorite
Prescription. She suffered almost intolerablv
before using your medicine, and had tried the
skill of several physicians, but to no purpose.
Finally, I thought 1 would give the Favorite
Prescription a trial, and she Is now sound and
well.
Very gratefully yours, d. A. HUNTER.

she realized that she was lost in the
great CITY. not knowing whittier to direct
her steps
Sad and terrified, she turned corner
after corner, crossed street after street,
looking for the place that she had left,
without knowing how to recognize it if
she should succeed in finding it again,
there were SO many that looked like it.
After many turnings, she remembered
the word house which she would be GER
tain to recognize, and which she resolved
to look for.
At length she espied it again on wall
at the other side of the street.
"My house !" cried she; ST have
found it again; soon my sister will find
me again"
A gentleman who was passing at that
moment stopped and said, "Of which
house do you speak, my child? This
one is mine.'
81 am speaking of the Dord house,
which is here on the wall"
"And can you read that word %
''Yes, sir; my sister taught it to me. u
"And what is this good sisters name ?''
"Cecile."
"And your name, little one -
My name is Lulu
"Cecile and Lulu !' repeated the gen
tleman; then he said quickly: "What
is your fathers name %
"My father is no more. His name
was Mr.. Henry Jolivet, but -"
"My child,'' said the gentleman, in a
deeply-moved voice, "truly you have
found your house, for henceforth it is
yours, like all that L have in the world.
Mypoor little lost lamb that have vainly
sought so long, come to my arms !''-.
and he embraced her tenderly.
just then a young girl with wild
look turned the conner at rapid pace.
"Oh, Lulu % cried the new conner, i'll
an impatient voice, chow could you
have been so naughty? Here have ]
been looking for you more than an hour =
But why did you not come here tc
look for me at once ?"
"What are you talking about, Lulu
This is not the place where I left you
"Why, yes, Cecile don't you see the
word house that you taught to me2''
You are mistaken, Lulu; it is the
same word, but it is another place."
"She is not mistaken" said the gen
tleman; it is the place she ought te
have found. Don't you know me, &c
Gle ?"
She looked at him fxedly for q mo
ment, then she uttered cry: "M,

Lulu now knows how to read, write
and do many other things; but she vii
never forget the lesson her sister gavt
her, and which had SO happy result.

SIFETY FROM SUFFOC4TION BY
SMUHE

A correspondent of the London Times
furnishes a useful suggestion for pre-
venting suffocation by smoke, which is
commended to the traveller who soiourns
in the many-storied hostelry. He says
that a pillow-case, well saturated with
water, and having small hole torn in it
to look through, placed loosely over the
head, Will be found an admirable i'm
promptu respirator in the densest smoke.
Vice Admiral birmingham, while in com
mand of the Cambridge gunnery training
ship at Plymouth, made the first expert
ment with this pillow-case respirator.
He had twelve pounds of loose powder
exploded in a confined part of the ship.

Up spoke little lady,
Aged five,
"I've tumbled up my oyerdress
Sure as I'm alivei
My dress came from Paris
We sent to Worth for it;
Mother says she calls it
Such fitl'
Quick there piped another
Little voice:
81 didn't send for dresses,
Though had my choice;
have got doll that
Came from Paris, too.
1t can walk and talk as
Well as you'll"
Still, till now, there sat one
Little girl,
Simple as snow-drop,
Without dounce or curl;
Modest as a primrose,
Soft, plain hair brushed back;
But the color Of her dress was
Black-all black.
Swift she glanced al ound with
Sweet surprise;
Bright and'grave the look that
Widened in her eyes.
To entertain the party
She must do her share
As if God had sent her,
Stood she there
Stood a minute thinking,
With crossed hands,
How she best might meet the
Company's demands.
Grave and sweet the purpose
To the child's voice given:
81 have little brother
Gone TO heaven ~
On the little party
Dropped spell;
All the little flounces
Rustled where they fell;
But the modest maiden,
In her mourning gown,
Unconscious as q flower,
Looked down.
Quick my heart besought her,
Silently;
"Happy little maiden,
Give, o give to me
The highness of your courage,
The sweetness of your grace,
To speak a large word in
Little pace J"
