proprietor, "Do you sell 'em 2" He
purchased box, paid two cents and
lit his stump, after which he closed

The Human Face.

Too often the human face Is but O

famous for heartless cruelty have
been celebrated for their handsome
faces; writers of fiction have not
been unmindful CT the fact. faust is
represented as being a handsome

OF the sirens who drag mems souls
down to perdilion with their fatal
power OF beauty. Some faces are
unreadable, and tell nothing of the

men now and then have solemn faces
and the most serious frequently have
cheerful ones. Frequently the N oct
heartless coquette has all the shy
graces of girl of sixteen, while the
heart OF some women who look
you through with cold, steady eyes,
may be filled with love and tender

Who Buries the Birds.

They are all destroyed by one enc

THAT does seem so cruel,' said lit

if God does not love the little birds
he has made?

you think on it a little, May
But the fierce old lions and tigers

err, and it does seem as though the
little birds and timid rabbits deserve
it better
Yet, May, am not sure that the
old lions have the best of it. Think
what a painful, lonesome time they
must have when they are old and
stiff. Think how hungry they must
get when they have no strength to
seize their prey, or no teeth to eat
what they may chance to find in
their way. And, at the very last,
what lingering, painful death they
must die, most likely starving to

the little birds in giving them a

It's curious, isn't il, Billy,
The changes that twelve months may bring

As happy and rich as King,

And feeling the walters with "Tens,'
And slipping mint juleps by twilight,
And to-day am here in the "Penn

Has altered somewhat in his time.

As the biblical fellow of old,
But when it is gone he fancies
The Eusks will turn into gold.

High steps while fortune is flush,
The passionate kisses of women,
Whose cheeks have forgotten to blush,

OF pleasures that end in tears,
The froth that foams for an hour,
The dregs that are tasted for years.

On the ends of my evil ways,
There arese like phantom before me,
The visions of my boyhood days.

OF the school house that stood on the hill,
OF the brook that flowed through the meadow,

Again thought of my mother
OF the mother who taught me to pray,
Whose love was a precious treasure,
That heedlessly cast away
saw again in my visions,
The fresh-lpped, careless boy,
To whom the future was boundless.
And the world but mighty toy.
I thought of all this as sat here,
Of my ruined and wasted life,
And the pangs of remorse were bitter,
They pierced my heart like knife.

To laugh in the face of fate,
When the yearning ambitions of manhood
Are blasted at tpenty eight.

Keep The Birthdays.

Keep tho birthdays religiously.
They belong exclusively to, and arc
treasured among, the memories of
home. Do not let anything prevent
some token, be it ever so bright, to
show that it is remembered. Birth
days are great events to children.
For one day they feel that they are
heroes. The special pudding is
made expressly for them new
jacket, or trowsers with pockets, or
the first pair OF boots. are donned;
and big brothers and sisters sink in
to insignificanee beside ''little Char
lie" who is s'six today and is soon
"going to be a man." Fathers who
have half dozen little ones to care
for, are apt to neglect birthdays they
come so often-sometimes when they
are busy, and sometimes when they
are "nervous" but if they only knew
how much such souvenirs are cher
ished by the children years after,
they would never permit any cause
to step between them and a parents

Mirth at Home.

A merry heart doeth good like med.
icine, but broken spirit drieth the
bones, declares the wisest men. A
swift appreciation of the ludicrous is
the happy birthright of some fortunate
people, but there are those who never
see joke quickly, and cannot compre-
bend why it makes others laugh, even
after it has been duly explained. If,
as the provGrb says, laughter is med-
cinal, they are much to be pitied.
They are not cushioned against the
sharp corners and hard knocks OF life.
There is coarse wit that is allied to
buHoonery and may descend to indie
cency, and the less We have of that the
better. The brightness and buoyancy
which makes the day cheerful; which
lift the wearied and tho ill from their
depression, and which imparts courage
when disaster seems imminent, are
priceless gifts. The merry making the
best of things, seeing the silver edge
along the thickening clouds, remember
how much worse fortune might have
bofallen, and being CHEEKY when others
are discouraged, how noble are these
qualities when put in practice and how
brave they may be. I agree, in q
measure, with the brilliant French
woman, who said that "joyousness OF
spirit is an index Of its power" words
true for all time. 1t should be q mat.
