Maybe he's lawyer, Amelia.

much benevolence in that face for a

a heavenly expression couldn't con-
tent himself with money getting. His
aim In life Is higher than that"

kind. His face plainly indicates that
he is all that Is noble. pure. and true"
Il guess you are right. Amelia. I'll
take your word and his face for IT,"
At the next station. an inquisitiye
farmer took seat beside the man,
and asked him about his vocation.
Amelia held .her breath and listened
to the reply. 1t was this:
Il keep a saloon and meat shop.

Sage Advice.

my dear Susan. said sage moth
er. arresting her daughter as she was
about TO start for a walk with her
lover, 1if Will asks you to go in and
have some oysters, even il you are
hungry, don't. Say you do not ap-
prove OF girls wasting the money OF
their future husbands on idle trifles,
when it might be applied toward fur
nishing house. Point out that for
the cost OF an oyster stew you might
purchase a couple OF towels, now
toweling is so cheap. and that sad
dlerock roast is equivalent to "a silver
fork plated, OF course, but not easily
distinguishable from solid silver-or
a glass sugar bowl. This always
takes the young men; it sets them to
thinking OF housekeeping aud matri-
mony it makes them believe you are
the Incarnation OF economy. and
would make an excellent wife: and so
they often say things which give you
a hold over the IN, or are effective be-
fore jury" Susan treasured up
these sagacious counsels OF the au-
thoress OF h5r being. aud acted upon
them with such carnestness aud effect
that when she came home she was an
engaged woman. Perhaps some other
3usans will profit by this hint.

The greatest heroes the world mas
ever produced have been those who
have done the most good In 1t.
I believe la4iness is the cause Of
more misery In this world than sick
ness IL, but can't prove il.
Those people who don't think there
is any honesty in the world have been
studying themselves too closely.
Ingratitude is as mean as 1t Is COM
mon, and the ungrateful man can't
tell how long it will be before he will
be a malicious one.
II a man is polite and honest he Is
well bred, / don't care whether he
had any ancestors or not.
The datterer has been called all
kind'of bad names, but IL there was
no demand for fattery there would
be no fiatterers.
Good sense is like truth-the same
now that it was when the first man
walked on the face of the earth.
L have always noticed that those
folks who know the most are the best
listners, and the most anxious to
know more.
A man Ct great genius is NOT al
ways a man OF good Judgment; he
frequently unites grand truths and
grand mistakes without knowing IL.
We all OF US love to be praised, and
] think those who deserve 1t the most
appreciate il the most.
You will always consider that when
a man is al xious to tell the truth. he
usts the simplest language possible;
words of three syllables or more seem
TO have been made on purpose to lie
with.

A fast young man who had lived
hard and wasted splendid constitu-
ton, fell i'll ut Rome. At one moment
it was thought he would die. His
disease was contagious. His friends
fed from him in fear. When he re-
covered from the danger which
threatened him, he was blind. When
be was told that he would be blind
for life he cursed heaven, hell, and
earth. His curses were answered by
an angels voice and a woman's hand
gently smoothed his pillow. Never
had voice so touched his heart.
Who was this woman who was
caring for him when all had fed?
Who was this ministering angel?
He was told that she was q daughter
OF family in the house, and that
when she heard OF his desolate con-
dition she would have no nay, but
spent her days and nights az his bad
side, never sleeping. never ceasing
her watch until he was out Of danger.
When he heard this he forgot the
misfortune that struck him. He for
got he was blind. He forgot every
thing but the girl who had risked her
life for him, and this time he blessed
Providence for the ineXpressible
boon granted him-a true woman'S
love. They were married. But each
time that the poor blind man said:
Il love you, darling love you more
than 1 ever loved before! nor did 1
think l could love so much!"-each
time he spoke OF love, each time he
pressed her in his arms, the poor
wife felt her heart beat loudly In
her breast, and her checks grew
red as fire. Why? Because she was
ugly, and knew it. "You are beauti-
full. my own" be would say. No, /
am ugly" she would answer. with a
forced laugh, while a tear OF some
{, ing like shame would trickle down
her cheek. He only thought she was
TESTING and kissed her the more.
Besides, what did IL natter Was he
not blind? And her voice was the
sweetest OF any he had ever heard.
Several years had thus passed, years
of untold happiness to the loving
wife, who, on the account OF her
homeliness. had never dreamed she
could be loved. But suddenly one
day her husband exclaimed, Il see!"
Well, he Was only the average brute
OF a man. As soon as he found out
that she was homely. he ceased To
love her, and resumed his old life OF
dcbauchery. She has the crosses
and sufferings OF an abandoned wife,
her only hope is that her husband
may again lose his sight aud return
TO her arms,

Grow Beautiful.

Human beings may outgrow dis
ease and become healthy by proper
attention TO the laws of their physi
cal constitution. By moderate daily
exercise and suitable food, human
beings may become strong in limb
and muscle. But is there any pro-
cess by which human beings may
grow beautiful? Live as we may. age
dimS the lustcr or the eye, and piles
the rose on beauty's check, while
crow feet and burrows, and wrinkles,
aud lost teeth, and gray hairs, and
bald heads, and tottering linus, and
limping feet. most sadly mar the hu-
man form divine. But while this is
true, dim as the eye lie, and pallid and
sunken as may be the face OF beauty,
and frail ana feeble that once strong,
erect an symmetrical form, the i'm
mortal soul, just Hedging its wings
for its home in heaven, may look out
through those faded windows as
beautiful as dew drop Of a summers
morning, as melting as the tears that
glisten in affections eye-by growing
kindly, by cultivating sympathy with
ali human kind. by cherishing for
be france towards the follies and fol
bles OF our race, and feeding day by
day on that love OF God and man
which lifts US from the brute and
makes US akin to angels.
