The lrOn.hearted lover.

In the big crowd OF excursioniSts
sitting on tho City Hall steps tor a
rest, the other day, was young man
with long legs, and girl with
l6 auburn curls hanging down around
her head, They had scarcely settled
themselves and locked fingers when
she cautiously observed
81 s'posc they have sodawater in
this town 7"
II s'pose," ho replied, "but the last
thing afore we started l promised
your mother not to let you drink any
sodawater. It's the worst thing in the
world to bring on consumption"
She was quiet for a moment, and
then pointed to the left, remarked.
81 SEQ that Sarah is eating peanuts.
| s'pose that they have pearuts in this
town 7"
"Wall yes but your mother eau
toned me the last thing not to buy
any peanuts for you. The shucks are
apt to get into the windplpe. The Queen
OF Holland was checked to death in
that way.
Pretty soon n boy came along with
fruit, and the young woman felt oblig'
ed to say:
"Them apples and pears look awful
nice"
"Ycs they do," replied the prudent
lover; but promised your mother
at the depot not to buy any fruit for
you. Them apples look nice, but if
you git the toothache started on you
then the whole afternoon is busted"
The young man had just commenc-
ed to take comfort again, when she
innocently remarked:
"When I came up here last summer
with jim, he bought me more'p two
pounds Of candy"
"Yes and what was the result ?" Ee
demanded. "You fell down cellar
that week, and didn't Jim have..to light
out last winterfor Dustin in the school
house door ?"
She got down to water, and with
considerable sarcasm in her voice she
inquired:
Il car have drink Of water can't
II Mother didn't say anything against
that did she 2"
"Wall no, not exactly" he replied ;
"but she Civ me an appealing look as
the cars moved of-same as to say it
ought to be kind o warmish water, if
any! You sot here and III borrow
dipper somewhere.
She "sot" and it was all of an hour
and half before he succeeded in get

Mr. Moody ON CHURCH FAIRS. MI
Moody is opposed TO church fairs. AT
Baltimore he said a few days ago
".And there are your grab.bags-your
grab.bags! l tell you there is too
much of this. Your fairs and your
bazaars won't do, and your voting,
your casting of ballots for the most
popular man or woman, just helping
along their vanity. l tell you it
grieves the spirit, it offends God.
They've got so far now that young
men can come in and kiss the hand.
soonest woman in the room for twenty
five cents. Think of this Look at
the church lotteries going on in New
York. Before God l would rather
preach in any barn, or the most mis-.
cradle hovel on earth, than within the
walls of church paid for in that way.
What is the use of going to a gambl-
ing den when you can have game Of
grab with lady for Il partner!"

A little three.year.old fell into a
we'll, recently, where the water was
only six inches deep and remained
there some time before he was discov'
cred. When he was finally rescued
his pent.up indignation knew nc
bounds. There was crying about it,
and such volley ofinvectives tell upon
the heads of neglectfal parent as never
before fell from chllds lips. Here is

Tho Maternity Society.

The Eplscopalian Church Of tho
TRANSPORTATION, In Twenty'nlnth
street, just out Of Fifh avenue, hides
itself behind its trees, and flowers,
aud fountain, until II seems smaller
than 1t really isi until, In fact, VIZ
hardly wonder that, in spite OF its ca
pacious aisles, It should be known %
tho Little Church Around tho Corner,
1t Is q church with pastor who de-
lights in parish work, and Il isapleas'
uro to be able TO say that this parish
work Is well planned, and that It's re-
suits are brought about more by time
and brain than by the mere lavish and
indiscriminate expenditure Of money
to which, alas 10 much Of our char
ity is confined.
Among the many societies Of this
church, is one originated by II and
deserving description here. Already
has |. been initiated in ST. Louis, aud
it needs only to be more widely known
to DO more generally emulated. II
was the result Of feeling on the part
Of certain ladies Of the parish that in
tho life Of every mother there was a
tine when she needed all the help, and
care and sympathy possible, and that
in many case, when this trying time
came, tho poor woman was without
care or help of any kind, without
medical attendance, without clothing
for her infant, and even at times with.
out food for herself. To send needed
clothing and supplies before their
presence is called for; to render prop.
er medical aid; to give the services
OF skillful nurse; to provide for
pressing temporal wants; to care for
the body and comfort the mind--these
are among the objects of the Mater
nifty Society. 1t is now over two
years old, and it Is beginning to get
more and better known among tho
class it seeks to benefit. With the
experience gradually acquired has
come knowledge OF further utility.
One year after its organization, the 30
ciety saw the need Of regular nurse
and visitor, and for this purpose it
fernd M nvnallnnt wnrs,on, lind, ;ut~l-
ligent, patient, and not too well edu-
Gated to make those among whom she
had to work think her in any way
above them. Fitting rooms were at
the same time engaged as apartments
for the nurse, as headquarters for the
society. and as store.house of sup
plies. Here ore kept baskets contain
ing such articles of clothing as may
be needed by newborn infant. These
articles are merely lent to the patient,
and must be returned in good condi-
ton, although when needed, as is
generally the case, they are allowed
to be kept. = From "Home and Soci.
ETY." Scribner for December.

THINGS WORTH KNowNG.--ThAt
fish may be scaled much easier by first
dipping into boiling water about a
minute
That salt fish are quickest and best
freshened by soaking in sour milk.
That milk which has turned or
changed may be sweetened or render
ed fit for use again by stirring in little
soda.
That salt will curdle new milk hence
in preparing milk porridge, gravles,
etc., the salt should not be added until
the dish is prepared
That clear boiling water will remove
tea stains and many fruit stains. Pour
the water through the stain, and pre-. &.
vent its spreading over the fabric.
That a teaspoouful Of turpentlne
boiled with your white clothes will
greatly aid the whitening process.
That boiled starch is much improv-
ed by the addition Of salt, or sperm,
or both or a little gum arabic dissolv-
ed.
That kerosene will soften boots
that have been hardened by water
and will render them pliable as new.
That blue ointment and kerosene
mixed in equal proportions, and ap-
piled to bedsteads, IS upfailing bug
remedy, and that coat OF whitewash
is ditto for the walls Of a log house.
That kerosene will make your tea
kettle as bright as new. Saturate a
woolen rag and -+nb with it. 1t will
also remove stains from the clean var
nished furniture.
That cold rain water and soap Will
remove machine grease from washable
fabrics.
