man, evidently a fresh conner from some
backwoods town in Maine or New Hamp-

he asked:
"You don't want to hire a man in your

"Done,o said the stranger, and by this

it was not extremely heavy, and walking
with it twice across the store, went quietly

WHY SHE WORE A SHAWL.

THE VALUE OF D

Why Should we give one day in seven to
religion? Ii is to be regretted that some
very poor answers to this question are so
~strenuously insisted on. 1t is always dan
gerous to support a good cause by a bad
argument; tor when the argument is dis
covered to be baseless the thing that seemed
to rest upon it is likely to be regarded as
without foundation. The bad reason and
the good cause fall together. To say that
Sunday is needed for physical rest is not to
give the best, nor the universal reason for
its observance. Many feel no such need.
Some constitutions will work 365 days in
the year and then dance the old year out
and the new year in by way of starting in
fresh to repeat the same thing over.

Remember, son, that the world is older
than you are by several years; that for
thousands of years it has been so full OF
smarter and better young men than yourself
that their feet stuck out of the dormer win
dows; that when they died the old globe
went Whirling on, and not one man in TO-
Oe0,0 went to the funeral, or even heard
of the death. Be as snar as you can, of
course. Know as much as you can. without
blowing the packing out of your cylinder
heads; shed the light of your wisdom
abroad in the world, but don't dazzle peo-
pie with it. And don't imagine a thing is
so simple because you say it is. Don't be
too sorry fer your father because he knows
