To Husbands.

Always complain of being tired, and
remember that nobody else gets tired.
Your wife should have every thing in
readiness for you, but you should not
do anything for her.
When your wife asks for money, give
her nickel, ask her what she wants
with it, and when she tells you, ask her
if she can't do without it. Then 90
down town and spend ten times the
amount for cigars, for they are neces-
sity.
Go down town of an evening, stand
around on the street corner and talk
politics it's more interesting than to
stay at home with your family.
Charge your wife not to gossip, but
you can spin all the yarns you wish.
Have your wife get up and make
fires, but don't get up yourself till the
rest of the family are eating breakfast,
as you might take cold.
Wear old clothes and make yourself
as untidy as possible until your wife's
health fails, then it would be best for
you to fix up some, for in all probabili-
ty you will want another when she is
gone.
Have smile for everybody you
meet, but get frOwn on before you go
home.-PhysiOlOgist.

must not be disturbed to-day go
away ~ But Dandy continued his ap-
peal, wagging his tail, and now and
then giving vent to a short, sharp bark.
At length he slowly walked to the
open fire, stretched himself before it,
and appeared to sleep. Occasionally,
however, one eye would carefully turn
upon the grandmother, showing it was
only game he was playing to put her
off her guard. Some time passed in
this way, when suddenly he sprang up,
and no roguish boy ever had mischief
more plainly written on his face than
had Dandy at this moment. Grand
mothers bed was her special care. 1t
was always white as snow, and perfect
ly arranged. Upon this bed the dog
sprang, and began tossing the clothes
with his teeth and paws.
"Harry," cried grandma, "Take Dan
dy away! Down, down, naughty dog,

80, grandma" begged Harry, "do
let him stay, just to see what he will
do.n
But all of sudden, Dandy changed
his course. Jumping from the bed
with a pillow between his teeth, he
ran to the fireplace, and threw the pill
low directly upon the blazing fire.
Grandma, with a scream, fastened to
save the pillow, when Dandy rushed TO
the chair, pulled out the cushion, seized
the handkerchief, and rushed with it in
triumph to his master.
"Dear, good old Dandy" cried Har-
~, and he fell on his neck, hugging
and kissing him, Dandy very modestly
receiving the praise for his success

What if Every One Should Do as You
DoP
BY REV. W. A. LLOYD, Ravenswood, Ill

BY REV. W. A. LLOYD, RavenswOod, III.
1t is possible to become so merged in
the public as to lose sight of our own
individuality. We may seem to be
part of u community which has opin-
ions and sentiments, and performs
functions, and scarcely recognize
whether we have any personal respon-
sibilty or agency of our own, or not.
There are important movements about
us, and great enterprises going forward,
in which we seem to be in q general
way participants. We speak of them
as "Ours," and take to ourselves credit
for sacrifices and successes, as if we
had personally helped to bear the bur-
dens. We all take honor to ourselves
in the grand results of missionary en-
terprise. Every one takes pride in the
prosperity and efficiency of his church
in its numerical increase, its ample
revenue, its full meetings and its deep
spirituality-andp lumes himself on all
these good things as though he had
largely helped to accomplish them.
1t would be well if many of us would
ascertain our actual personal cOntribu
tiOns toward these results, for which
we take so much honor to ourselves,
even if the inquiry should disturb our
self-cOmplacency. A good test ques
ton in the premises is, "What would
be the result if every one should do as
l do 7" "More particularly" what
would be the aggregate contributions
to missionary treasures if every one
should give as much or as little in pro-
portion to his ability as l do? What
would be the average attendance upon
the public worship and prayer-meeting
of my church, if every one should at
tend these gatherings as regularly or as
irregularly as l do? What would be
the interest and profit of the prayer and
conference meetings if every one who
attends them should participate in the
exercises as frequently or as rarely as |
dOP What would the Sunday school
accomplish if every one should work in
it as faithfully or as unfaithfully as |
doP
The same question would apply
equally well to our connection with the
temperance cause, and to the whole
round of our political duties in national,
state and municipal affairs. If candid
answers to this question should show
that aggregates and averages which
now appear so creditable would be ma
terially reduced, if others should do as
do, then | have been glorying in my
shame. These good works with their
beneficent results have been wrought
by hearts more open and hands more
willing than mine, and the brightness
of their example throws my inetficiency
into deeper shade. So separating my
self from the works of others, and from
the honor belonging to others, l can
better discern my own merits and my
own defects.-AdUdnce.

The Moth er's Prayer.

A mothers holy arms caressed
A babe that laughed upon her breast.
Then thus to heaven she cried in prayer,
Now even as his face is fair,
o Lord keep thou his soul within
As free from any spot of sim"
From heaven the Lord an answer made,
Behold grant as thou hast prayed"
Within her door the darkness crept,
And babe and mother sweetly slept.
The belfry rang the midnight bell;
The Waterman answered, ''All is we'll"
Awaking at the cradle side,
The mother knew the babe had died.
With grief to set woman wild,
She caught and clasped the marble child
Until her heart against his own
Was broken, beating on a stone.
30 Godl" she cried, in her despair,
why hast thou Knocked a mothers prayer2'
Then answered he, "As have willed,
Thy prayer, o woman! is fulfilled:
If on the earth thy child remain,
His soul shall gather many stain:
At thy behest, l reach my hand
To lift him to the heavenly landl"
The mother heard and bowed her head,
And laid her cheek against the dead.
And cried, 80 God dare not pray
Thou answerest in so strange way!"
In shadow of a taper's light,
She sat and mOurned the ivelOng night;
But when the morning brought the sun,
She prayed, THY will, o God be done"

GOODNESS OF GOD.-Ged is always
better to his children than their imag
inings-better far than their fears.
And their richest blessings are common
ly in the very line of their greatest anx-
ieties. Those who are sure they are
going to die very soon, and suddenly,
are the ones who live to a good old age.
If you have a child who seems already
marked for death-"too good to live"-
you will probably see his children be-
fore you die. The one thing which
now stands out as certain cause of
endless trouble to you will be source
of peculiar satisfaction as you see its
final results. How this truth shows
itself in the dying hour of those "who
through fear of death were all their
lifetime subject to bondage" but who
are now more than ready 'to depart
and be with Christ" because of the sus-
tanning grace of ''him who is able to do
exceeding abundantly above all that
we ask or think, according to the power
that worketh in u.s." Not what we
could think for ourselves, but what
God could think for us, is the measure
of our final satisfaction in Christ.-S. s.
