The Lad and the Man.

As the boy begins, so the man
will end, The lad who speaks with
affectation, and minces foreign
tongues that he does not understand
at school, will be a weak chrome in
character all his life; the boy who
cheats his teachers into thinking
him devout at chapel will be the
man who will make religion a
trade, and bring Christianity into
contempt; and the boy who wins
the highest average by Stealing his
examination papers will figure
some day as tricky politician.
The lad who, whether rich or poor,
dull or clever, looks YOU straight
in the eye and keeps his answer in
side the truth, already counts
friends who will last all his life,
and holds a capital which will
bring him in a surer interest than
money.
Then get to the bottom of things.
You see how it IS already as tc
that. 1t was the student who wa.
grounded in the grammar that took
the Latin prize; it was that slow
steady drudge who practiced firm:
every day last winter that bagged
the most game in the mountains
it is the clerk who studies the spec
iality Of the house in off hours who
is to be promoted, Your brilliant
happy-go-lucky, hit-or-miss fellow
usually turns out the dead weight
Of the family by forty-fve. Don't
takeanything for granted; get t.
the bottom of fittings Neither be {
sham yourself, nor be fooled by
shams. N Y. Tribune.

The Expression of Rooms.

Rooms have just as much express
sion as faces. They produce just as
strong an impression on us at first
sight The instant we cross the
threshold of a room, we know GER
tain things about the persons who
live in it. The walls and the
floor, and the. tables and chairs, all
speak out at once, and betray some
OF their owners secrets. They
tell us whether she is neat or un-
neat, orderly or disorderly, and,
more than all, whether she is Of a
cheerful, sunny temperament, and
loves beauty in all things, or is dull
and heavy, and does not know
pretty things from ugly ones. And
Just as these traits in a person act
on us, making US happy and cheer
full, or gloomy and sad, 50 does the
room act upon us. We may not
know, perhaps, what it is that is
raisingor depressing our spirits; we
may not suspect that we could be

THE CHRISTIAN IDEA OF
MARRIAGE.

Mr.. Yancy delivered a sermon on
marriage in Louisville, KY, with
the following remarks under the
headof "Companionship" MAR
riage is the association of husband
andwife. They should be together,
except when separated by duty. No
company should be so delightful to
the wife as her husbands and the
husband should seek the company
Of none with the same pleasure as
he seeks that Of his wife. This is
The obligation Of marriage. Com
panionship is help Husband and
wife have mission to perform !;
IN accomplishing this mission
each has a part. The wife has her
domestic duties; the husband his
business affairs, Both are essen
tai to success. Each is to be inter
ested IN his own sphere and also in
taatot the other. God said: at is
not good for man to be alone | will
make him an helpmeet for him"-a
9eIp worthy of him. \ good wife
IS mans best helper--a helper in
als business, a hel per in adversely,
IN poverty The prevailing notion
IS That q man is not ready to marry

#ho would not think of marrying a
man who has no money. Begone

promise. At twenty-seven wears of
age, John Flaxman married

man. A friend Of Flaxman, and an
old bachelor, who, of course, was ex-
Pected to have no better views of

make her rooms coSey and cheerful.
| do not forget that, in speaking to
the readers of ST. NICHOLAS, | am
speaking to girls who are for the
most part living in their parents
houses, and who have not, there
fore, the full control of their own
rooms. But it is precisely during
these years of life that the habits
and tastes are formed; and the Girl
who allows her own room in her
fathers house to be untidy and I'M
adorned, will inevitably, if she ever
has house of her own, let that be
untidy and unadorned too.
There is not a reader of st. Nicho-
las, | am sure, who does not have in
the course of the year pocket-mon-
ey enough to do a great deal toward
making her room beautiful. There
isno one whose parents do not spend
for her, on Christmas and New
Years and her birthday, sum of
money, more or less, which they
would gladly give to her, if she pre-
ferred it, to be spent in adjoining her
room.
1t is not at all impossible that
her parents would like to give her
also small sum to be spent in or
namenting the common living-room
of the house. This is really a work
which daughters ought to do, and
which busy, tired mothers would be
very glad to have them do, if they
show good taste in their arrange
ments. The girl who cares enough
and understands enough about the
expression of rooms to make her
own room pretty, will not be long
content while her mothers rooms
are bare and uninviting, and she
will come to have a new standard
Of values in the matter of spending
money, as soon as She begins to
want to buy things to make rooms
pretty.
How much better to have fine
| plaster cast Of Apollo or Clytie, than
a gilt locket, for instancel How
much better to have a heliotype
picture Of one af Raphael's or Cor
reggio's Madonnas, than seventy
five cents worth of candy Six
shillings will buy the heliotype,
and three dollars the Clytie and
/ Apollo bothll at5Hg aaaifmI
MOI 1t is not a question Of mon
ey; it is question of taste; it is a
question Of choosing between good
and beautiful things, and bad and
ugly things between things which
last for years, and do you good every
hour of every day, as often as you
look at them, and things which are
gone in an hour or a few days, anc
even for the few days or the hour
do harm rather than good.
Therefore, | think it is right tt
say that it is the duty of every one
to have his or her rooms cheerful
and cosey and, as far as possible
beautiful the duty Of every mar
and woman, the duty Of every boy
and girl.

PRovIDING FoR DAuGHTEHs.- The
way Of happiness and comfort for single
middle-aged women would be made
much easier il different method was
pursued by parents towards their daugh-
ters while they are still young Nothing,
Of course, can recompense woman for
the loss in her liie OF the love OF husband
and children; but there is no reason
why, added to this bitterness, she should
always have the humiliation of depen-
dence. Half the terrors of single life
to woman lie.in the TACT that she will
never have a home Of her own, but
must remain dependent on fathers and
brothers the one too many in the
household; the beneficiary on suffer-
ance in the family though she actually
work twice as much as the actual mem
bers. A father naturally sets his boy
on his own feet at coming TO age; but
as naturally he keeps his daughter de-
pendent on himself, II is pleasure,
perhaps, to give her gowns and pin
money at thirty as when she was three.
He does not reflect that she has the
longing, equally natural to every man
and woman, TO take her own place in
the world; to be rooted plant, not a
parasite. The difficulty is easily solved.
ii the father is wealthy, let him settle
absolutely upon his daughter when she
is of a marrying age the amount he
would have given heras adower, instead
Of doing out the ninterest as con-
slant gifts il he is poor man, let him
give her some trade or occupation by
which she can earn her own money.
This course would obyiate the merce-
nary necessity OF marriage which rises
night and day before the penniless, de-
pendent woman.

Benevolent Mr.. wIzham.

AT meeting Of the Ladies' Benevo-
lent Society, held the other day, it was
resolved that committee OF four ladies
be appointed TO canvass for donations,
and IN the course of their perigrinations
this committee yesterday dropped into
Mr.. Wixham sotiice. He received them
as gentleman should, and after the
usual formalties one Of them began:
"Mr. Wixham, we are asking aid for
benevolent purposes
"Ahl yes. BenevoIence IS a bump
which shoultf-De cultivated. Are you

"Oh, yes"
"All ofthem are well fed, well clothed
and well cared for, are they'"
"Yes, SIR"
"Fhat's very proper. presume their
stockings are properly darned, buttons
to their places, and they say their pray
crs when they go to bed' Am cor
recti"
The women looked at each other in
sly way, then at him, and one of them
said:
"We shall be happy for any contribu-
ton"
"Yes'm, yes'm. You don't want this
contribution Tor your own families, eh;"
"No, sir J" answered four voices IN
chorus.
"Well, ! am somewhat inclined TO
benevolence. Hardly day passes that
| don I do something for charity. Here's
an old account Of S26 against Mr..

time to get along, and yesterday can

One Of the canvassers turned red,
white and blue and looked out Of the
window. That was her husband, but
Wixham didn't know il.
"And yesterday found a poor for
lorn-lookng little boy out here crying
with hunger and cold He said his
name was Tommy, and he lived at
No. 36--Street. He hadn't been
washed or combed for week and
felt sad for him. was gong to take
him home and feed HIN, but he slipped
| away"
Another woman suddenly looked out
OF the window, and ber pulse ran up to
100 minute; but Wixbam was as inno.
cent as lamb Of any knowledge thai il
was her boy.
Then you won't aid US :" queried
the spokesman.
ooh, yes, certainly | will. was
simply figuring 10 see how much could
spare signed note with Mr.

That makes me feel rather poor"
The tn rd woman didn't tu n red, but
green: but Wixham coulden have
possible known that il as her husband.
Lets see. Let's see. want 10
give all can spare. MIR, on
Street, owes me four months house rent,
and l'Il give you an order on him for

The four women rose up. They
rushed in q solid body for the door.
They went out in heap. Some were
red and some were pale, and all mad.
They tried to speak, but they couldn't,
and as they FASTENED TO get away from
each other, Wixham held up the half
written order and gasped:
How very. very singular perhaps
they thought they couldn't collect the
money."-Dstrou Free Press.
