stingy Men.

I despise a stingy man. don't see how
it is possible for man to die worth fifty
millions of dollars, or ten millions of dol
lars, in city full of want, when
he meets almost every day the
withered hand of beggary and the
white lips of famine. How a man can
withstand all that. and hold in the clutch
of his hand twenty or thirty millions of
dollars, is past my comprehension. I do
not see how he can do it. I should not
think he could do it any more than he
could keep pile of lumber when hun
dreds and thousands were drowning in the
sea. Do you know have known men who
would trust their wives with their hearts
and honor, but not with their pocket-books
not with dollar. When see man of
that kind, always think be knows which
is most valuable. Think of making your
wife beggar! Think of her asking you
every day for dollar or two dollars, or to
humbly beg for fifty cents, ''What did you
do with that dollar gave you?'' Think
of having wife that is afraid Of you
What kind Of children do you expect to
have with beggar and coward for their
mother? Oh, tell you, if you have but
dollar in the world, and you have got to
spend it, spend it like king; spend it as
though it was dry leaf and you the owner
of unbounded forests. That's the way to
spend it. ! had rather be a beggar and
spend my last dollar like king, than to
be a king and spend my money like beg
gar; If it's got to 60, let 1t go. Get the
best you can for your family-and look as
well as you can yourself. When you used
to go counting, how nice you locked All,
your eye was bright, your step was light.
and you just put on the very best you could F..
Do you know that it is insuferable egot-
ism in you to suppose that woman is
going to love you always, looking as bad
as you can ? Think of it Any woman
on earth will be true to you forever, when
you do your level best.-Bob Lngersol.

Thila Skins.

No doubt sens;t ivenesS is mark OF are
fined temperament, but in view OF the
roughness of everyday life we can bur
think that too much of it is positive
| misfortune.
The sensitive man is never thoroughly
happy.
He is too thin-skin ned to bear with equa-
! nimity the temperature of the world at
large. He is always getting sighted py
somebody. He is always having bis feel
ings hurt. He is Away s left out when he
should be counted in, and vice versa.
If Mrs. A. IS near-sigh ted, and would
not recognize her grand-f ather three doors
off, meets him in the stree 1t and does not
bowie is slighted-Mrs. a. has cut him.
If jenkins has party and invites dozen
friends, aEd leaves our thi ,.sklnned man
out, he feels himself aggrievt'd. II his next
door neighbor has an attack Of dyspepsia,
wears long face in consequence, our
sensitive man is sure there is something
wrong. Somebody has been mis.represent-
ing him.
He is always in trouble AS child, his
nose will be perpetually out of joint; as a
young man, his teacher will lie in con-
spTacy against him to prevent him from
gaining the first honors; and when it comes
30 falling in love, and going counting,
heaven preserve him for if there is q
manageable man within ten miles of his
''beloved'' he will be sure to think she "a
vors him.
Your thin-skinned man is always taking
hints.
The old adage says, eff the saddle fits
you, buckle the girtbs."
He is continually buckling girths. If
anybody laughs behind his back, they are
laughing at him. If he has long nose,
and noses are mentioned, he is sure ne is
attacked. If he comes from a poor family
and anybody mentions poverty, he is ready
to flare up-they are INVITING him with his
humble origin.
His friends are source of unhappiness
to HIM, for they must talk of something.
and whocan manage conversation SO skill
fully as not to run against some of the
angles of a sensitive man?
The minister means him, he feels sure,
when he is preaching about special sin
ners, and consequently he refuses to sub
scrioe fifty dollars to that worthy's salary.
Almost every newspaper article he reads
hits him, and he is ready to beard the edi-
tor and challenge the author in behalf of
his wounded feelings.
In short, he leads life of it, and every
humane person must pity him.
Time will. in some measure, wear away
extreme sensitiveness, but it is lohg,
hard process, and if any of our readers are
born with thick skins, let them thank for
tune for it.
For it is fact that this world will go
on just as 1t has gone on for ages, totally
unmindful of individual feelings, needless
of crushed spirits and broken hearts, care
less of lost happiness, Indifferent to the
joys or sorrows of it's inhabitants.
And the man who is never sighted, who
never takes hints, who is never downcast
because of evil-doers, who can 60 on secure
in his own sense of right doing, and re-
ceive no wounds of feeling or sensibility,
is the man whose days will be many,
whose sleep will be quiet.
Happy individual

Rules for Spelling a Child.

l. Begin young by giving him whatever
he cries for.
2. Talk freely before the child about his
smartness as Incompatible.
8. Tell him that he is too much for you
that you can do nothing with him.
4: Have divided counsels as beween
father and mother.
S. Let him learn to regard his father as
a creature of unlimited power, capricious
and tyrannical; or as mere whipping
machine.
6. Let him learn (from his fathers ex-
ample), to despise his mother.
7. Do not know or care who his COM
panions may be.
8. Let him read whatever he likes.
8. Let the child, whether boy or girl,
rove the streets in the evenings good
school for both sexes.
10 Devote yourself to making money, re-
membering that wealth is better legacy
for your child than principles in the heart
and habits in the life; and let him have
plenty of money to spend.
II. BE not with him in hours Of recrea.
ton.
IL. Strain at gnat and swallow cam
ell; chastise severely for foible, and laugh
at vice.
10. Let him run about from church to
church. Eclecticlsm in religion is the Or
der of the day,
I IA. Whatever burdens of virtuous re.
quirements you lay on his shoulders touch
not one. with one of your own fingers
Preach gold and practice. irredeemable
greenbacks.
These rules are not untried. Many par.
ents have proved them, with substantial
uniformity Of results, If faithful obser
vance of them does not spoil your child
you will at least have the comfortable re-
Election that you have done what you
could.

On the following day-a Sabbath, calm
and pleasant-the organ gave forth new
strain. The daughters of Zion were no
longer in a strange land. They had taken
their harps down from the willows, and
within the chamber of the new Temple,
more respondent far than old, she sang
the songs that had aforetime made joyous
the city of their God. All marked the
grandeur of the music that sprang into
life beneath the touch of the fairy organist
on that beautiful Sabbath morning, and
all seemed moved by the inspiration. To
meet it was like the holy outpourings of a
redeemed soul, and with bowed head and
folded hands I gave myself up to the SUBJ

Three Kisses Of Farewell.

Three, only three, my darling,
Separate, solemn slow;
Not like the swift and joyous ones
We used to know,
When we kissed because we loved each other
Simply to taste loves sweets,
And laviShed our kisses as summer
Lavishes heats
But as they kiss whose hearts are wrung
When hope and fear are SPENT
And nothing is left to give, except
A sacrament!
First of the three, my darling,
Is sacred unto pain;
We have hurt each other often,
We shall again;
- When we pine because we miss each other
And do not understand
How the written words are so much colder
Then eye and hand.
kiss thee, dear, for ali such pain
Which we may give or take;
Buried, forgiven, before it comes,
For our loves sake
The second kiss, my darling,
Is full of joys sweet thrills fa...5
We have blessed each other always,
We always will.
We shall reach until we feel each other, r. IS.
Past all Of time and space!
We shall listen till we hear each other
In every place.
The earth is full of messengers
Which love sends to and fro;
kiss thee darling, for all joy
Which we shall know!
The last kiss, OH my darling,
My lOve-I cannot see
Through my tears, as I remember,
What it may be;
We may die and never see each other
Die with no time to give
Any sign that our hearts are faithful
To die as live.
Tok en- of what they will not see
Who see ourparting breath,
This one last kiss, my darling.

No ScANDAL.-An exchange gives the
following wise advice and just rebuke to
those persons infesting nearly every COM
munity, who are in the habit of aiding the
spread Of scandalous reports concerning
their fellow-men: "Do not become carriers
of evil. You are bound to be careful of
the reputation of your fellow man. Much
harm is done by repeating what you hear.
''Have you heard the story?" "No.'-
"Well, don't know anything about it,
but this is the way it was told to me. %
Then comes the whole of the miserable
tale. 1T may not be true, but this is as
heard it. / understand it to be so, but it
may not be So You are assassinating
man by carrying around deadly rumors
concerning him. You are stabbing him
behind his back. You say that you do not
know that these rumors are true, and vet
you are spreading them. You are alike
false to conscience and to your fellow
man."

Don't Marry a ''Sigher.''

Happiness in married life all depends
on one thing" says the Major" in Will
liam Blacks new novel, 'Macleod of
Dare" ''Take my word for it, young
friend; l hear Of people studying the char
acter, the compatabilities and what not
of other people-though never knew a
young man thinking of such thing when
he was in love. He plunges in and finds
out afterwards. Now it all comes to this

ga what ?" said Macleod, awakening
from his trance.
house sighing-whether over your sins or
her own, she won't tell you"
We have seen men Of the "Major's" jol-
ly temperament married to ''sigher,"
and seen the extinguisher clapped on his
cheerfulness the moment he entered under
his own roof. Nothing so effectually takes
the starch of hope and courage out of
man, and makes him a limp dish-rag in
the hands of fate, as to have wife who is
a chronic sigher who diligently searches
for circumstances to be miserable over,
and at the least imagined neglect or small
disappointment, takes her revenge in pro-
tracted sulks, with an occasional melan-
choly sigh and wipe of the corner of the
eye, suggestive of the bleeding of wound
ed and trampled spirit. Headache is also
a usual feature of this interesting domes-
tic role. 1t is employed by some wives for
the purpose of getting their own way, and
is said to bring husband to terms better
than any other policy. So it may, but it
may also bring him to the bar-room or any
other place that offers refuge from
wife that is habitual ''sigher.''
