Good HunOr.


Good humor is rightly reckoned a
most valuable aid to happy home life
An equally good and useful faculty is a
sense of humor, or the capacity to have
a little fun along with the humdrum
cares and works of life. We all know
how it brightens up things generally to
have lively, witty companion, who
sees the ridiculous points Of things
and can turn an annoyance into an oc-
casion for laughter. 1t does a great
deal better to laugh over some domestic
mishaps than to cry or scold about them.
Many homes and lives are dull because
they are allowed to become too deeply
impressed with a sense of the cares and
responsibilities of life to recognize its
bright and especially its mirthful side.
Into such household, good, but dull,
the advent of witty, humorous friend
is like sunshine on cloudy day.
While it is always oppressive to hear
persons constantly striving to say
witty or funny things it is comfortable,
seeing what brightener a little fun
is, to make an effort to make
some at home. It is well to turn off an
impatient question sometimes and to
regard it from a humorous point of
view, instead Of being irritated about it.
"Wife, what is the reason I never can
find clean shirt?" exclaimed good,
but rather impatient, husband, after
rummaging all through the wrong draw
er. His wife looked at him steadily for
q moment, half inclined to be provoked; !;
then, with comical look, she said, Il
never guess conundrums; give it up"
Then he laughed, and they both
laughed, and she went and got his
shirt, and he felt ashamed OF himself
and kissed her; and then she felt hap
py, and SO what might have been an oc-
casion for hard words and unkind feel
ings became just the contrary, all
through the little vein of humor that
cropped out to the surface. Some
people have peculiar faculty for CIV
ing humorous turn to things when
they are reproved. 1t does just as well
oftentimes to laugh things off as to
scold them off. Laughter is better than
tears Let us have little more of it at
home.-Scottish Am aricGn.

A PRAYER IN HE'LL.
BY G. L. WILSON

The earth and heavens pass away,
And mind and justice hold full sway;
Within the dwelling place of peace,
Where Joy to Joy, ourhopes increase.
The wicked pray OH such a prayerl
Ye rocks end hills, why stand ye theref
o see that side II once did piercel
Dread SOUL thou curse, why look so hercef
Hahl twas my shadow frightened me;
All no mol tits devil seel
Holdi-'tis the light of Him doth shine
To make my shadow curse diyinel
All, but my pray er was late-too latcl
But OH this hatel myself hatel
Ye rocks and hills, shut out the light;
Fall down and crush me out of sighti
What burneth in me? Myi What hell
The sungloss purity doth swell
To flames within my dried-up soull
Why focus light beyond the goali
My Godi the light shines through the gate;
1 cannot gol 1 must not waitl
wish not heaven now, but hell,
To burn me upi cannot tell
Where men or devils ever find
greater hell than cursed mindi
Go backl fly backl We memories past,
Out of eternity so vastl
Most High Omnipotent, pray
Make dead my mind and dark my dayi
know Thee who Thou art, Great God;
L knew Thee when the earth trodi
Thou mercy of the God hear
hear Thy tones Of loving cheer
To those, Thy followers: Sc hells,
OF which the creed of hades tells,
In heart and heart, thou fiery lake
Swell up, and in thy mercy take
Tie sight of good and God and love,
And place its tortures high abovel
Oh shut out heaven from my sight,
And drown my soul in endless night
Where comes not knowledge dreams, or breath
Nor life; where all is sullen deathi

Didn't Declare Himself.

When Ralph Waldo Emerson was
travelling in Egypt, with his daughter,
they met an Englishman who did all in
his power to make it pleasant for them,
and, when the time came for their sepa-
ration, said: You may wonder, sir, at
my having overstepped my usual re-
serve SO far as to become SO intimate
with you, but it is for the sake of a
countryman Of yours, one bearing the
same name-Emerson-- Ralph Waldo
Emerson. He has done me much good,
and hope some time to cross the ocean
to meet him" And Mr.. Emerson never
told him it was himself whom he
sought.

A New Story Of Lincoln.

Gen. Steel, being the oldest member
IN continuous service of the Indiana
Legislature, was appointed Chairman OF
the committee delegated by the Legis-
lature to meet President Lincoln at the
State line and escort him to Indianapo-
lis. At Lafayette there was an immense
gathering of people to greet the Presi-
dent, and an earnest call by them for a
speech, a wish which he seemed very re-
luctant to comply with. Finding, how
ever, that he must say something to
quiet the multitude, be related the fol-
lowing He said his situation reminded
him OF man ont In Illinois, who was
candidate for nomination for an office.
The convention at which the nomina-
ton was to be made was held at town
some miles distant from where the
candidate resided. On the morning Of
the day on which the nomination was to
be made, the candidate hired team to
take him to the scene Of his hopes.
The horse proved very slow. The man
pounded and swore, and swore and
pounded, but with his best efforts he
did not get through till after the con
vention had adjourned and his hopes
were blasted. He returned home In
frame of mind which you can imagine.
The horse had been hired of the fore
man Of the livery stable, and was re-
turned to him.
Our candidate did not waste much Of
his powder on the foreman, but, on his
way home, meeting the owner, he de-
nounced him in the strongest terms for
letting him have such q horse. The
owner said there must be some mistake
about it; that his horses were all good
travellers, and finally persuaded him to
return to the stable to find out the
trouble. When they got to the stable,
the owner asked the man in charge what
horse he had given the man. 81 gave
him the hearse horse" "Hearse horse !
hearse horse /" exclaimed the man.
"Why, if man should start to fune-
raj with such horse as that, he would
not reach the grave till two weeks after
the resurrection" and, said Mr.. Lin
coin, if 1 make a speech in every town
| pass through, I shall not reach Wash
ington till two weeks after the Inaugural
ton. Chicago Inter Ocean.

Richard the Thirds Bed.

From "Brltish Battles on Land and Sea"
In the corporation records of Leices-
ter there is still preserved story Gu
riously illustrative OF the darkness
and precau tion of Richards character.
Among his camp baggage it was his
custom to carry O cumbersome wooden
bedstead, which he averred was tho
only couch he could sleep in; but in
which he contrived to have q secret
receptacle for treasure, SO that it was
concealed under weight of timber.
After Bosworth Field the troops of
Henry pillaged Leicester; but the
royal bed was neglected by every
plunderer as useless lumber. The
owner OF the house afterward discov-
ing the hoard, became suddenly rich
without any visible cause. He bought
several large estates and made money
and, at length became Mayor of Lei
cester. Many years afterward his
widow who had been left in great at
huence, was assassinated by her serv-
ant, who had been privy to the affair,
and at the trial OF this culprit and
her accompltces the whole transaction
came to light. Concerning this bed,
a public print OF 1880 states that
''aDout half q century since, the relic
was purchased by furniture broker
in Leicester, who slept in it many
years and showed it to the curious;
it continues in as good condition ap-
parently AS when used by King Rich-
ard, being formed of oak and having
q high polish. The daughter of the
broker having married one Darlington,
OF tothley, near Leicester, the bed
stead was removed to Babington's
house, where it is still preserved

Pastoral Calls.

Right under the shadow of the stee-
Piles of Brooklyn is found one eloquent
preacher who inveighs plainly and
torcibly against the system of pastoral
calls, which have not always lrdound
ed to the benefit of either shepherd or
flock. lie characterized it as a de-
grading system OF laziness, leading to
gossip and title tattle, and sometimes
to gross immortality. He had no
fancy for ''lounging Shepherds" and
thought the ministerial ear should not
be the sewer of all the floating scan-
dial of the parish. What right has ho
to study up the family scandals and
the business difficulties of his people.
and retail them, as if he became IL pro-
fession,l caller, he must. They were
matters for which he should have a
deaf car and d tongue dumb to the
root. "In nine cases out OF ten," said
the reverend doctor, who seemed to
have Il thorough knowledge of this
subject, "the shame and scandal which
have lain at the doors of ministers OF
late years have had their origin in this
system Of pastoral visitation" One
truth upon which the reverend doctor
did not touch is that ministers have
not sufficient hard, wholesome work
to perform.
