HAPPY NANcY's SECRET.

There once lived in an old brown
cottage a solitary woman, known every
where by the name of "Happy Nancy"
She had no money, no family, no rela-
tivcs, and was half-blind, quite lame and
very crooked.
"Well, Nancy, singing again." would
the chance visitor say, as he stopped At
her door.
go yes, I'm forever at it,"
al wish you'd tell me your secret,
Nancy. You are all alone; you work
hard you have nothing very pleasant
surrounding you; what is the reason you
are happyf"
"Perhaps it's because / haven't got
anybody but Cod" replied the creature
looking up. "You see, rich folks like
you depend upon their families and
their houses; they've got to think Of
their business, of their wives and chill
dren, and then they're always afraid Of
troubles ahead. | amt got anything
to trouble myself about, you see, be-
cause ! leave il all 20 the Lord. think,
We'll, il he can keep this great world in
such good order. the sun rolling day
after day, and the stars 4 shining night
after night, and make my garden things
come up the same, season after season,
he can certainly take care Of such
poor, simple thing as am, ard so you
see, leave it all to the Lord, and the
Lord takes care of me-"
"Well, but, Nancy, suppose frost
shall come after your fruit trees are all
in blossom, and your little plants out
suppose"
"But don't suppose; don't want
to suppose, excep, that the Lord will do
everything right. That's what makes
you people unhappy you are all the
time supposing. Now why can't you
wait till the suppose comes, As | do, and
then make the best of it?"
"Ah, Nancy, it's pretty certain you'll
get to heaven, while many of us, with
all of our worldly wisdom, will have TO
stay out"
"Therc you arc at it again." said
Nancy, shaking her head. "Always
looking out for some black cloud
Why, il was you, I'd keep the devil
At arms length, instead of taking him
right into my heart he'll do you a
desperate sight OF mischief"
She was right. We do take the de-
mon Of care, of distress, Of melancholy
foreboding, OF ingratitude, right into
our hearts. We canker every pleasure
with this gloomy fear Of coming i'll; We
seldom trust that blessings will enter, or
hail them when they come. Instead Of
that, we smother them under the blan-
ket Of apprehension, and choke them
with our mistrust.-N y E5a1geHH.

DRIFTED APART.

We had little quarrel,
She and I;
We thought 10 mend our quarrel
By-and.by;
But We made such long delay
The forgiving word TO say,
That We drifted far away,
She and I.
We had been friends together,
She and Il;
Through clear and cloudy weather,
She and I;
Our friendship we'd declared,
Our cares and comforts shared,
And most pleasantly had Jared,
She and I.
No evil genius dreading,
She and 4;
Spoke freely Of our wedding.
By.and-by;
And talked as lovers do.
OF . cosy nest for two;
Such home we had In view,
She and I.
We met and were light-hearted,
She and !;
But sorrowfuily parted,
She and I;
And enough bitter the regret
A. the broken amulet,
We have never spoken yet,
She or !.
They say I'm rather mulish;
That may be;
And I was young and foolish
So was shc:
Twas u quarrel most absurd.
And can't recall n word,
And ju.t how the breach occurred
Puzzles me.
We had n foolish quarrel,
She aud I,
That furnishes q moral
Who'll deny.
So IL any one oHends.
Let him hste 60 make amends;
II he waits he'll have no friends
By.and. by.

I3-The newspaper is badly treated
in various ways, but particularly by the
family in handling it. To fold and un-
fold it would seem to- be the simplest
thing imaginable, and yet many do not
know or do not care to do it in proper
manner. II is creased, crumpled and
torn in reading, and by the time il has
passed through several hands is not it
to be looked at. II should be treated
as lady would treat her table cloth OF
pocket handkerchief-carefully folded
up in It's former folds, when done read
ing il, smooihed nut and laid away in
the bookcase, desk or other places
where such things are kept. Then when
il is wanted again you will know where
to find il, and il will not look like rag,
crumpled, torn and unsightly. The
newspaper is the current history Of the
times and ought to be carefully preserv-
ed upon regular file stick. For pat
tern paper or wrapping paper go to the
printing Office and buy for as cents as
much as will last YOU for twelvc-month.

ECONOMY.

One of the hardest lessons in life to
learn is to properly practice economy.
a business man must make more effort
to accumulate his first thousand dollars
than to subsequently acquire ten thous-
and dollars. To get start in the world
man must be economical. II is one
of the most important duties to save
sufficient in his days of strength and
prosperity to provide for himself and
those who are, or who may I've, depend
ent upon him, or to meet his expenses
If by any misfortune sickness or a6ver-
sity should overtake him.
a man can be economical without any
exhibition of meanness, for true econo-
my is never parsimonious it is not
turning deaf ear to every genuine ap-
peal of charity; i, is not shutting ones
eyes As il deeply absorbed in religious
contemplation when the contribution
box comes around. Real economy con-
sists in practicing self-denial with re-
gard to things which only please the
fancy and which can be put to no use
full purpose, when acquired by the pos
sCsSOss utNicS WHtu AlC Outl tot us
play and the exhibition Of which betray
mind full Of vanity and conceit.-
There are many industrious people who
remain in poverty all their lives by rea-
son Of foolish and expensive habits they
have acquired of tastes for possessing
worthless trinkets. A passion for fool
ishly spending money is as unfortunate
as actual idlenesS or intemperance.
Extravaganza is one OF the greatest
evils Of the present age. II is under
mining many business houses i, is an
nually sending thousands of young men
and women to ruin and misfortune
Cultivate sober and industrious habits
acquire the art of putting little aside
every day for future necessities avoid
all unnecessary and foolish expenditures;
spend your time in such a manner as
shall bring you profit and genuine en-
joyment, and your money for such
things as you actually need. You will
prosper in your business affairs il you
are economical and thrifty, and you will
further win and retain the respect Of all
worthy and substantial people.

The Season Of The Boy.

The season is here at last when the
adventurous small boy thinks he can
make experiments with the sluggish
wasp that he finds creeping on the
window.sash in the garnet. He is
not wholly ignorant of the foibles of
the insect, but he has heard the say
ing that "wasps won't sting till the
June birds sing" 1t is a great COM
fort for him to know this. 1t gives
him a poor idea of a wasp and encour'
ages him to insult it. Accordingly
he removes it from the window-sash,
places it in his extended palm and
tickles it defiantly under the ribs.
Later on two strong women are hold
ing that boys hands while the anx.
ious mother is exploring his palm
with needle, and his little heels are
churning holes in the nursery floor.
Thus is the childish faith in the truth
of cherished sayings shattered; thus
is the first idol of our lives broken
and the first lesson of skepticism
taught.-Er.

| A man named Hank Sprague, in
Perham, had separated from his wife,
keeping possession of his two young
children. The mother took the &C.
casion of a. charivari party, and when
the tin horns and COW bells were we'll
at it and the attention of the neigh
borhood was absorbed, she slipped in
and stole her youngest child--a mere
babe, and took refuge in the house of
Senator McCrea. The day following
Sprague found where the lamb was
folded, and with crowd went to re-
cover the child by force. Mr.. Nc"
Crea's farmer, Mr.. Wilson, put in an
appearance just then and told the
Sprague party that if they went into
the McCrea mansion he would shoot
them full of holes. Wilson's eye
and his shotgun looked as if he meant
business, and the kidnappers all
backed ont. The mother not only
keeps the babe, but we understand
has the sympathy of the neighbors.-
