Make Room for Others.

The more a man sees of the world
and the more he mingles with others
the smaller space is he inclined to claim
for himself among his fellows. He sees
that in the pushing struggle of life,
other peoples rights must be consider
ed, and he must not take more ground
than just enough to stand on. This is
very marked in crowds, public places and
conveyances. The man or woman who
is best versed in society makes smallest
demands and occupies least space. The
persons who take more room than be-
longs to them are those who have been
least in company, least accustomed to
adapt themselves to the needs of those
about them, If you want to be thought
well-bred, travelled, cosmopolitan, keep
in your elbows in a crowd, and sit close
in a street car. If you want to be
thought boorish and uncultivated, and
to be recognized as one who was never
much in good company, push both sides
of you, as well as in front and rear in a
crowd, and spread yourself out in a
car, or in public hall. 1t is by such
indications as these that we see that the
demands of Christian regard for the
rights aud feelings of others secure the
best results of good breeding.

The Guest Who is Welcome.

The ideal guest has just gone, and
the house seems empty without her.
There is no sense of relief at her de-
parture, strange to say. She was never
in the way. She seemed to have no
eyes to see anything that didn't con-
Germ her, or anything that happened to
go amiss. She seemed to have no Opin-
ions that were antagonistic 10 those of
anybody in the house, though [ know
that her creed is entirely different from
mine, and some of her notions about
social matters and domestic discipline
are peculiar. But she adapted herself
to the family she was in. She saw all
the pleasant features of the landscape
about us, all the conditions that make
this desirable place of residence, and
spoke of them so warmly and appre-
ciatively that she made me more in love
with my home than ever. Seeing that
| had but one servant she said prompt
ly, "Now, Katie, don't give yourself a
thought about my room; I'll take en-
tire charge of it. Bridget has enough
to do, and l have nothing to do" 1t
was great relief to me. She has just
been visiting at Mr.. Blake's, where
there are half-a-dOzen servants, and
where guests are waited on to the last
degree, and at home she only sees that
work is done, does not do it herself.
When was busy about my domestic
affairs she entertained herself with
reading or embroidery, or game of
crOquet with the children, or a walk in
the garden or to the woods. / have
thought good deal about her secret of
making herself agreeable, and think
it lies in the fact that she never forgot
what was due to herself as lady, or
what was due from her, as lady, to
others. Then, too, she has entertained
people, and knows all the annoyance
given by guests who do not know how to
teaching like that of putting yourself in
another's place. Exchange.

Trusting God in Little Things.

How prone we are to think that Gods
standards of magnitude are the same as
ours; that what we call great he calls
great, and that what we call little seems
little to him! This thought too often
affects our prayers to God. We feel
free to pray to him for great things-as
we view them: for a revival for the
conversion of a soul for the saving of
life for the preservation of our good
name but we are not always ready to
ask Gods help in preparing IL dinner or
in writing a letter. Yet, in fact, God
is sure to Judge our wants and perplex-
tiles by our standards and he makes
no demand on us to come up to his Is
not this, indeed, our method with our
children? We know very well that a
birthday party is quite as absorbing a
theme in prospect to our little ones, as
the presidential election is to any of us.
We know that the making of kite or
the dressing of a doll is as surely a
subject of expressing interest to a child
as our business affairs or our personal
relations to companions and friends are
to us. And we are by no means in
clined to rebuke our little ones for hav-
ing a different standard from ours in
the measurement of the incidents and
experiences of their personal lives. In
dealing lovingly with our children, we
adapt ourselves as far as possible to
their standards of comparison and we
take pleasure in meeting their petty
wants and trifiing desires, as though
these were all the world to Us also.
Like as father pitieth his children,
so the Lord pitieth them that fear him."
He does not expect us to see Chings as
he sees them. "He kuoweth our frame.
He remembereth that we are dust"
And he takes delight in doing for us
according to our sense of trial and need.
Whatever is sufficient to give us long
ing for help, is sufficient to give God a
longing to help us. If it incliues one of
Gods children to worry, it inSlines God
to protect his child against worry.
Whatever we call burden God is
ready to take hold of and carry. "Cast
thy burden on the Lord"-whether that
burden be little one or large one
land he shall sustain thee"-as we'll as
carry the burden you have cast on him.

Tom Bard's Dream.

When Tom Bard was yet young his
widowed mother was obliged to take
him from school that he might help
earn living for herself and her two
boys, Tom and Jimmy, boy several
years younger than Tom. There was
not trouble for him to get work. He
was willing, active fellow, stout, and
always full of good humOr. When he
was fifteen years old, Mr.. Roland, who
kept the largest store in the village,
asked him if he would be able to drive
the grocery wagon, to take and deliver
orders, and to go to the depot for light
freight. What boy does not wish to
your mother is willing" said Mr.. Ro-
land, II will hire you, and give you
fifteen dollars a month. The work is
hard, and you will need all your
strength, but do not wish you to do
more than your strength will allow
Anything too heavy for you will hire
a man to do"
Tom was delighted with the offer.
Fifteen dollars menth! That meant
$3.50 year. "Whew ~ said Tom in a
way he had of talking to himself.
Pretty we'll for boy of fifteen! You
earn so much now, what will it be when
you are thirty? You will be rich some
day; see if you are not. Well, what'll
you do with your money-give it all to
the heather or some other good cause ?
Now, see here, Tom Bard, you've been
poor; so has your mother and Jimmy
Might as well get the good of your
money. Build big house! Own
houses, farms, railroads, and things
That's the way to do it! OF course,
you must give some away but enjoy
yourself, too"
Tom went to work and worked faith
fully. At the end of the first month,
when be received his wages, he was a
happy boz. He asked Mr.. Roland to
give the whole amount in one-dollaI
bills. That night when he went home
he took out his roll of bills and LAYING
them out one by enc on the table as
Jimmy looked on, he said, "Ahem
Who wants money! It's plenty in this
house. We are pretty rich. Look,
mother, see all this money. earned il
all, and in one month, too" Then in 8
