dearer to her heart than the handsome face
of her husband by her side.
The winter days rolled on. News of Elsie
Waltons triumphs came now and then to
the quiet farmhouse and stirred Nathaniel
Hollis heart with touch of the old pain;
for he could not forget that all this beauty
and grace might have been his. Lewis Wal
ton might value il as child prizes beauti-
full toy; he would have idolized it as some
devotee worships the beauty of his goddess
and for this feeling alone he felt the great
treasure of Elsie's love had been denied him.
But rumor was stirring the fashionable
world that never reached the quiet old home
stead. Men looked with pity on the lovely,
trusting wife, women smiled and sneered be-
hind their fans, and still Elsie never dreamed
aught of the shame and disgrace that was
gathering around her. When the news of
her tickle husbands elopement with dash
ing widow reached her, she threw up her
hands with cry of despair-Nathaniel, Ma
thaniel, my sin has found me out"
Three days later the dead body of her
husband-for a railroad accident had ended
his career-was carried home to her; and
Elsie, broken and full of bitter remorse, fol-
lowed it to its last resting place; then turned
her face to the quiet old home she had left II
bride but a few months before.
Nathaniel asked no questions. The sad
white face was dearer to him now than IL
had ever been before. He made no outward
sign of the love that WAS burning within bis.
breast yet his care of her was wonderful7
and he thanked God that through affection.
he had been shown the weakness or his idol,
and that Elsie was but human, while his own
heart had been purified in the fire of tribn-
lation.
More than year after Lewis Wal
tons death, we find them standing where
we first saw them, under the old willow,
and Elsie is weaving wreath of dogwoo 4
berries and autumn leaves. Her cheeks are
flushed. and tender light fills the beautifi Il
eyes.

Home, Husbands and Wives.

Better than gold to man Is a cheerful
wife. But he must do his part toward max
ing her cheerful. 1t is easy enough for a
man to marry cheerful women. The bride
expectant. when she thought how happy she
would be, never contemplated the picture of
a husband coming home cross as bear, and
going to bed without speaking to her; she
had never thought of the long evenings when
he wouldn't come at all; or his bringing some
one home to dinner without warning or pre-
paration; or his awful profanity over SO tri-
fling matter as her little bills of expenses.
She had no idea, in fact, there could be any
thing but happiness in married life, and she
determined to be happy, and to distribute her
happiness to those around her. 1t is not often
her fault if she doesn't succeed.
Men, as a rule, do not exert themselves TO
secure their wives happiness. They know
that it requires a constant and great effort to
possess property and be secure in its value in
the midst of constant commercial changes.
The cheerfulness, the happy, hopeful char
acter which every woman displays at the be-
ginning of marriage, is not so easily lost as a
fortune; it requires but small share. A
word to the girls in this connection is in
order: Beware of man who doesn't know
enough about cheerfulness to understand its
value in daily life. Such men would improve
the first opportunity to grind the cheerful
ness out of his home, to frlghten a sunbeam
into shadow, and then wonder what is the
matter Such is no better than no husband
at ALL and when you want husband, &c
and find somebody who Will at least give you
a chance to be happy far into the life beyond
the honeymoon.

A Mississippi Prodigy.
[Senatobia Miss Express

Little Bobby, the infant son of Mr.. r. FL.
and Lou Z. Harris, of Coldwater, is the most
remarkably intellectual and brilliant child
that it has ever been our fortune to know
He is now but little over five years of age,
and has never exhibited any abnormal con-
ditions of health or physical growth; and,
with the exception of his remarkable mental
activity, shows no pecuGarities different from
other children. He learned his letters when
only Is months old, by inquiring of his
mother the names of the initial letters of
chapters in the Bible as they were presented
to him while she read from that sacred book.
Without even the use of primer or an al.
phabet he was able, before he was two years
old, to master the first reader. Before he
had reached his third year he had read tie
second and third readers, and had made
some advancement in arithmetic, showing a
remarkable aptitude during the time in SPELL
ing and other branches of knowledge. While
in his fourth year he read the fourth and
fifth readers, learned good part of the
multiplication table, and spelled from Web
ster's common school dictionary almost any
word given him. He is now five years old,
and reads newspapers, and has considerable
knowledge in general information and cur
rent events. He is a modest. unassuming
little boy, very courteous in manner, and
, speaks with remarkable precision and gram
NAUTICAL accuracy for one so young.

TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN.
Especially the Girls.


Six-year-old Johnny had been using bad
language OF the playground. The teacher
detained him after school, and spoke to him
of the wIckedness of such talk. He listened
a while in silence, and then looked straight
in his teachers eyes and made answer:
why, you say Ny starsr and %, mercyp
and l don't think what l said was very
much worse than that" The teacher stood
rebuked, abashed, COMPOUNDED. Here was
she standing in position of teacher, and
actually teaching the boys under her
care to do wrong. She was a Christian,
follower of Him who said, "Let your
communication be yea, yea; nay, nay; for
whatsoever is more than these cometh of
evil" yet she was actually using the "more''
herself, and leading her pupils deeper into
the evil than they might otherwise 90. The
boys words opened her eyes to see that she
was one of those whom the Master said,
"Woe unto that man by whom the offence
cometh," for she, by her example was causing
this little one to offend against the third
Commandment. 1t was a new revelation to
her. 1t caused her, in some degree, at least,
to realize the ful6llment of Burns wish.
30 wad some power the giftie gle us
To see oursels as ithers u.s.
She saw herself through the boys ewes now,
and though the sight was rather humbling
yet it had the effect which the poet predicted
it freed her from this error Rather, it
showed the tendency of this habit of using
unmeaning expletives, and led her to resolve
with Gods help, never again in this way to
lead one of the little ones to offend.
There are many others who indulge this
habit of "half-swearing," as a recent writer
calls it. Would that they, too, might see the
evil and purify their speech. Yesterday
afternoon the writer spent in the company
of nearly dozen educated Christian ladies
ladies, not char-women Christians, not I'M
believers, educated, not those who knew no
better-and in that circle the ear was panied
every few minutes by the sound of an ex-
preston not much better than swearing,
Johnnie-and many other Commissioning
the, judge. Some of these ladies were
mothers. Will they. wish, by and
by, to hear profanity from the lips of their
cherished sons, and to- have their rebuke
stopped by the words, at isn't much worse
than what you said?"
"Not much worse There's point which
mothers and wives and sisters would do well
to note. "Not much worse" How they
came by the notion, or whether it is a true
or false one matters not just now; but it is
a well known fact that all boydom-includ-
ing bearded boys as well-feel that they have
an undoubted right to go just little farther
in every slippery path than their sisters do.
I've actually heard gray haired professor
in a theological seminary not thousand
miles from Ch-o, seriously argue that any
wrong act is worse in woman than precise
ly the same act in man. Such being the
masculine opinion, would it not be well that
we should be little more pure in speech, a
little less given to half-swearing, a little more
chary of by-words and slang phrases than
we expect them to be?

Don't let us get soured with life. 1t does
not mend matters for us, and it makes us
very disagreeable to others. If we have

Why not keep it ourselves in after years
Does groaning ease any bardens2 We love
the hope and faith of children. Are we any
better off if we have allowed them to slip
from us2 We love the ardor and natural
enthusiasm of children. Are we any wiser

by rheumatism that she has been unable to
use them for years, and yet she is full of sun

great enjoyment she finds in life We know
another who, in the midst of luxury, wishes
she had not been born, and some others

Too Much to'DO.
lMacmilIan's Magazine.l


Too much to do, besides its direct effect on
the busy worker, exposes him to certain in
conveniences apt to escape the notice of
others. One of these is the effect produced
on his memory. One leads a rushing life,
who has 10 hurry from one thing to another
and from one person to another without a
moments interval, can not have vivid re-
membrance OF many things that happen in
his experience. He is necessarily liable to
forget, in a way that another can not under
stand. Many business physician has found
himself at times in serious trouble from this
cause. He has made promise to patient,
but before the promise was hardened in his
memory, some exciting case has hurried him
away, obliterated the impression, and the
promise has been forgotten. Authors men,
cries have been known from similar cause
to play them strange tricks. We know an
author who was engaged in writing book
amid many other absorbing occupations.
For some weeks the book had to be laid
aside. When leisure came, he resumed it, as
he thought, at the point where he had broken
it of, and got through considerable chap
ter, when to his mingled amazement, he
found in his drawer another manuscript,
almost precisely similar, the existence of
which he had quite forgotten, So strange
and incredible are these tricks of memory,
that sometimes the most honest of men. if
examined in a court of justice, would hardly
be believed. The non mi ricordo would
hardly be accepted by these who have had
little experience ofthe difficulty of carrying in
the memory impressions which have not had
time to photograph themselves on its tablets.
or have been blurred by other impressions
following too quickly.

Forever the sun is pouring it's gold
On hundred worlds that beg aud borrow
His wrath he squanders on SUBMITS cold;
His warmth on the homes of want and SORROW;
To withhold his largeness of precious light
Is to bury him in eternal night.
To give

The flower shines not for itself at all;
Its JOY is the joy it freely difuses.
OF beauty and balm it is prodigal,
Aud il lives In the light il freely loses
Nor choice for the rose bat glory doom,
To eXhale or smother, TO wither or bloom.
To deny

The brain the heart its lightning motion;
And over and yield our breath.
Till the mirror is dry and the image death.

Speak Softly.

Speak softly, gently ever!
There is no wiser part;
For harsh words pierce like steel
The yearning, loving heart.
As gems reflect in brightness
Every fitting beam.
Let words reflect In kindness
Loves sunny, love-lit CLEAN.
Speak softly, gentle ever;
There is not better plan
For angry words can never
Effect what kind ones can.
For, OIL u soft word spoken
May move a stubborn soul,
That still would prove defiant
Should words OF thunder roll.
Speak softly, gently ever,
Words breathing naught save lovet
And soon our blighted Eden
Will bloom az realms above,
For faith and fond affection
In true-love knot sntwined,
With frmer cords than tempered steel
Zach happy heart can bind.

A whiting wind sent it whirling and
gyrating through the air, apparently through
the open window in the upper story OF some
building in the neighborhood. 1t was diff
cult to tell what it was as it hoated over
head. 1t might be handkerchief, a sheet
of paper, night cap, a lady's collar or any
other light thing of that kind. At length it
came down, and the reporter ran and put his
foot on it to keep it from being picked up by
the wind and again whirled away 1t proved
to be few sheets of paper, crumpled so that
they stuck together, and the reporter, on
smoothing them out, found them to be cover

Loves Birthdays.

Let us make leap. my dear,
In our love, of many year,
And date ii very far away,
On bright, clear summer day,
When the heart was like a sun
To itself, and falsehood none;
And the rosy lips a part
OF the very loving heart,
And the shining of the eyes
But sign to know it by;
When nay faults were all forgiven,
And my life deserved of Heaven,
Dearest, let us reckon So,
And love for all that long ago;
Each absence count a year complete,
And keep a birthday when we meet.
