Laugh More.

''Why don't you laugh, mother p said
little three-year-old daughter, as hen
nioEh0r, with rather clouded counte-
nance, was dressing the little ones. The
earnest tone of the child provoked the
wished-for laugh, and the little heart
was happy.
And, mothers, I fear we do not laugh
enough. The housekeeping is so oner-
GUS. the children so often trying to
nerves and temper, the servants most ex-
asperating, and even John, kind, good
husband as he is, cannot understand all
our vexations and discouragements, and
so wearied and worried, we often feel
that it is too much for the household to
depend ON us, in addition to all our cares,
for social sunshine as well. Yet the
household does, and it must. Father
may be bright and CHEEKY, his laugh ring
out, but if mothers laugh fails, even the
fathers cheerfulness seems to lose much
of its infection. In the sad but forclble
lines of one Of Joanna Bai1lie's dramas
Her little child had caught the trick of grief,
And sighed amid its play things
we may catch glimpse of the stern re-
pressed life at Boutwell, Manse, where
f'the repression of all emotions, even the
Q6ntl6SG, seems 10 nave DSeu UuS COubbetug
lesson" I remember well hearing lady
say: ''When child, ! used to wish so
often that my mother would look cheer
full"
Theu laugh, mother even if you do
feel almost too weary to exert the facial
muscles, and you have to make pitiful
effort, which comes nigh bringing tears
instead of laugh. You viii feel better
for the effort, and so viii the children.
The little ones, ,unoonsciously to you and
to themselves, are catching the very
phases of countenance which viii go far
to brighten or cloud some future home.
Then laugh, mother-parlor, nursery,
and kitchen all feel the effect of your
smile or frown The CHEEKY laugh of a
mother goes down through generations,
as well as her frown And when the
mother eyes are closed, and lips and
hands are forever still, there is no sweeter
epitaph which children and friends can
give than, "She was always bright and
cheerful at home. - Christian Ilsteili-
0encer.

william Pitt.

The brilliant life and sad death Of
William Pitt, England's great Prime
Minister, seem satire upon personal
ambition and popular gratitude. He
was Chancellor of the Exchequer when
but % years of age, and for eighteen
years ruled Great Britain. The con-
frast of the brilliant beginning of his
public life with its somber ending is
painful to read.
Pitt died at his house, Putney Heath,
and in very neglected state, none of his
family or friends being with him at the
time. One who was sincerely attached
to him, hearing of his illness, rode from
London to see him.
Arriving at his house, he rang the bell
at the entrance gate, but no one came.
Dismounting, he found his way to the
hall-door, and repeatedly rang the bell,
which no one answered.
He then entered the house, wandered
from room to room, till at last he discov-
cred Pitt on q bed, dead, entirely neg
lected. 1t is supposed that such was his
poverty he had not been able to pay the
wages of his servants, and that they had
absoonaed, taking with them what they
could.-Oace q Week.

Il SMART DARKK.

In the year 1851, when the whole
world was thinking and talking of the
Worlds Fair in Hyde Park, the Colonel
of the Second West India regiment was
one day startled on parade by the ap-
proach of his bugler to make the modest
request of furlough of sufficient length
to enable him to go over to London to
see the exhibition. Cufey was sternly
ordered back to the ranks, with the al
tentative of the guard-room, and he re-
tired, muttering, however, that, fur
Tough or no furlough, his journey to
London was a fixed fact.
The next morning he was missing at
roll-call, the fact being that he had en-
gagged himself as stoker in one of the
mail steamers, and was at that moment
sailing pleasantly out of the harbor.
He came to London, saw the exhibition,
had his spree out, and, when he was
tired or had spent all his money, he pre-
sented himself at the Horse Guards and
gave himself up as a deserter. It was
some time before he could gain belief
for his singular tale, and had to play q
selection of the Colonel's numerous bu-
gle calls before he could prevail ON the
authorities to order him into custody.
At last he was duly taken prisoner and
shipped for the West Indies, along
with detachment going out.
When the ship had been some days
out at sea, the officer in command, a
young Lieutenant, found great difficulty
in collecting the men at mealtime, hav,

litelv Offering to relieve the officer of a
world of trouble by playing daily the
necessary calls. His offer was accepted,
and the service duly performed during
the remainder of the voyage. On the
arrival of the ship, Cufey was delivered
to his angry Colonel, who Immediately
ordered him to be taken into custody,
preparatory to regimental court-martial.

ing him off, he called parley, and po-
htely informed the Colonel that he could
not be tried as deserter, inasmuch as,
having done duty since the commission
of the act, he was now as free as before
he left the regiment. There was no
gainsaying this weI-known point of
military law, and the Colonel was COM
PEELED to content himself with simply
ordering Cufey back to his duty, amid
the broadest permissible grins on the
countenances of his ebony comrades.

One day they happened to be talking
before Emile Augier about a family
whose means had been materially di-
minished, but who had not therefore
ceased to live in a most expensive man
ner.
"I never heard of anything of the
sort, said one of the company; "they
are ruined, and yet they live in as stylish
a manner as ever"
go that Is simple enough, said
Augier; " formerly from time to time
they paid some of their debts now they
pay none. They have retrenched their
