A FIRST Cousin TO A BRASS FouNDR

A FIRST COUSIN TO A BRASS FOUNDRY
The man who travels on the railroad,
and sits down by the side of lone females
while laboring under the impressions that
he recognizes likeness in their faces to
his wife's aunt's cousin, met his match on
one of the roads in this vicinity lately
He sat down in the halfof seat, the other
half of which was occupied by pleasant
faced young lady. His first question was
" Pardon me miss, but is your name
james? have a cousin by that name
whom you greatly resemble"
mo, sir" WAS the reply, "my name is
not james. But, PARTON me, Is your name
Zinc or CopperP'
"Zlnc or Copper? No ma am" said the
astonished man. " What led you to up
pose had such namesp'
Excuse me-" was the quiet reply, but
| thought certain you must be first cousin
to brass foundry"
The man fell over two seats and kicked
a bird cage half way down the Car in hi'
haste to get TO the smoker, while the
young lady smiled gentle smile behind
her handkerchief.

dwell too much on unessential details. He
should not spend so much time arguing
as to the color of David's hair, or the prob
able length of the thorn that was in Paul's
iesh, that there is not opportunity to ap-
ply the lesson to the heart and conscience
of the pupils. Do not "pay 1.-THE of mint
and anise and cummin, aud omit the
weighter matters of the law"
And am liberal enough in my notions
to say to each worker. abide by the stand
ards of the church to which you belong
use its edition of the International lessons
use its library books and papers. There
is nothing so conducive to sound and
thorough Sunday school teaching as a
proper mingling of the broadest catholcity
and the most ardent denominational loyal
ty-a not impossible requirement of every
Sunday school worker.
BY these considerations then, and other.
of paramount importance, would urge
the necessity of teachers being well quail
fled in head and heart And with the
helps at the hand of the teacher in these
days there is no excuse for poor prepara
tion. Cheap commentaries abound. Almos
every religious newspaper has coumr
each week devoted TO the Sunday schoo
lesson. And the general literature of the
Sunday school is as broad and varied as
the most ardent can desire. There is ne
excuse now for lily qualified teachers
The sexton, the librarians and secretary
furnish not unimportant arm of the
Sunday school Service. 1t takes a man o
gooi common sense and piety to be gooC
sexton, and be a success.
Librarians and secretaries who make a
much show rs street parade on circus
day and attract as much attention in th,
performance of their duties are not suitable
persons for such offices. Systematic anc
nnobstrusive attention to their duties rem
der them unspeakahly valuable in Sunday
school work. Every individual of each
crurch should be q Sunday school worker
Keep the community we'll canvassed and
the lists revised to latest date. Initiate

light be less wise than the children of pol

Do not laugh at the drunken man reel

the sight may be. Just stop to think. He
is going home to some tender heart that

GOOD ADvICE.-The chief affliction and
misery of poverty is the tormenting desire
to have more than you can get, and the
shame there is in owning that you must
deny yourself many things tnat all about
you possess To those who care chiefly
for externals, this is very great trouble
but do not let your life consist in the
abundance of the things you possess, nor
your destruction be the lack of the goods
of this world. Work faithfully and pa
tiently get ahead as fast AS you can, and
as you go be careful to keep down to your
means and soon or late, success, honor
and happiness will certainly be yours.

DANGER AHEAD.-Even the New York
Herald sees danger ahead from the preva-
lent drinking customs, and gives its note
OF warning. 1t says Boys in down town Of
fees swig their beer ere they light their Gig
arettes. Laboring men along the wharves
take their rot-gut as they take their pipe.
Look in any or all Of our great restaurants.
The receipts Of the bar exceed the expenses
of the entire establishment II does not
follow that all men who drink are or are
liable to be drunkards. but it certainly is q
fact that no man who does not drink ever
can become Q drunkard.

The Cleveland Herald speaks An i'm
portant truth when it says that what is

her independence and self-respect.

case q lawyer took special pains to
abuse en- old lady who was witness
against his client. at times be was
furious in his assaults, at one time
going so far as to call her liar. His
object, OF course, was to confuse her
so as to destroy her testimony. The
jury acquitted his client but added to
their verdict strict censure of she at.
torney and requested the court to rep
finland him. In such cases courts
should interfere to protect witnesses

encouraged in the assumption Of the
