EdiiOrS' Troubles.

If an editor omits anything he is lazy /;
if he speaks of anything as it is, he is
mad; if he smooth down the rough
places, he is bribed if he calls things
by their proper names, he is unfit for
the position of editor if he does not
furnish his readers with jokes, he is
stupid If he does, he is rattle head,
lacking stability; if he condemns the
wrong, he is good fellow, but lacks
discretion; if he let's wrongs and inju-
ries go unmentioned he is n coward if
he INDUCES in personalities, he is n
blackguOrd ; if he does not, his paper is
insipid In short, if he edits paper
properly, and sticks to truth and facts,
he is fool and doesn't know how to
edit o paper half as we'll as his readers
could,

The Empty Cradle.

She sits beside the cradle,
Aud her tears streaming fast
For she sees the present only,
While she thinks Of all the past
OF the days so full of gladness,
1Ehen her first-borns answering kiss
That'Ihsr soul with such a rapture
oh, those happy, Gh4PGr bliss
They but deepen her despa7pts,
For she bends above the cradle,
And her baby Is not there.
There are words of comfort spoken,
And the leaden clouds of grief
Wear the smiling bow Of promise,
And she feels a sad relief.
But her wavering thoughts wifi wander,
Till they settle on the scono
of the dark and silent chamber,
And of all that might have been;
For little vacant garment,
Ora shining tress of hair,
Tells her hnart. in tanos of anguish
That her baby is not there.
She sits beside the cradle,
But her tears no longer flow;
FOR she secs blessed vision,
And forgets all earthly woe.
SANITY eyes look down upon her
ana the voice that hushed the sea
stills III, her spirit with the whisper
Suffer them to come to Me-"
And while her soul is lifted
oh the soaring wings of prayer
heavens crystal gateo swing inward
And she sees her baby there.

In the Sick Room.

Under all circumstances keep the re
freshments intended for the use of the
invalid covered. Milk is a ready absorb.
ent. Then there are cooling drinks,
jellies, blancmanges, and a variety Of
liquids usually seen at the invalid's
bedside, which are all more or less alb.
sorbent. These should be kept covered.
/ once visited an invalid who had he1
bedside table supplied with an array OF
glasses, cups, tumblers, etc, the con-
tents of not one of which could we see,
all being covered with a most amusing
variety of glass and porcelain lids. The
invalid liked to forget the contents OF
each, and was amused to lift one or an
other of the tiny covers and select a
refreshment which presented itself to
her taste. And to keep invalids amused
and ready to relish what is provided for
them, are important duties in nursing.
Such slight attentions cost little trou.
bic, while they prove to the sufferer that
he or she is tenderly cared for.

Edwin Booths First Appearance on
the Stage.

Edwin Booths first appearance on the
regular stage was made September 10.
1919, at the Boston Museum. in the
little part Of Iressil. in Cibber's version
of Richard I'LL" .Iunius Brutus
Booth, his father-thc rival of Edmund
Kean, and one of the greatest tragedi-
ans that ever lived-was then keeping
an engagement at the Museum, and
Edwin was in attendance on him rs
dresser. Tressil had been cast to the
prompter Of the theater; but it CHANGED
that this person wished TO avoid the
duty of acting it, and that he succeed
ed in ~persuading Edwin to undertake
il. This arrangement was made with
out the elder Booths knowledge, and
he only became aware of il by reading
in the plav-bill the announcement of
his sons first appearance duly under
lined. 'FOOin was all he said when
he read this announcement; and this re-
mark was not understood to signify en-
cOuragement. When the night came,
and Edwin had dressed his father for
GlOster, and himself for Tressil. the &C.
centric parcnt-who, beneath an out
ward aspect Of indifference, loved this
son with the fondest affection-took a
chair. lit a cigar. and, viewing the youth
with a critical eye, made this inquiry.
..Do you know that yOu are supposed to
have been riding hard and fara"
"Yes, SIR"
"Where are your spurs?'
81 haven't any"
"Take mine holding out one
booted leg.
The boy took the spurs, and went on
for his little scene with King Henry
vi. When he returned. his father was
still sitting negligently in the chair,
and smoking the cigar. "Give me my
spurs" he said, again holding out his
leg; and this was all the comment that
Edwin Booths first professional APP
pcarance ever elected from the parent
whom he idolized. He learned sub
~seqently, though. that his father had
been down at the wing, and had
watched this first effort with evident
interest and satisfaction, and then
FASTENED back to his nonchalant pose
in the dressing-room. There never.
surely, could have been a more s;ngu-
lar being than Junius Brutus Booth.
This little trait of character is but one
of thousands that marked him as a
unique person. William Winter, in
Harpcr's Magazine.

Food and Health.

Many people think it economy to
buy cheap food, and save in articles
which really are more necessaries Ian
they believe. There are people who
really grulge ten cents for vegetables.
because they say it is too dear; others
will restrict their children in milk;
others will deny the little ones refresh
ing orange or banana, and others will
never have a pudding on the table.
Meat and bread, hot cakes, chops
and steaks; they call cheap. because it
is real food. These people forget that
variety really nourishes the body, and
makes up for that food which alone can
supply our requirements. Beside this
there is no real economy in it. Meat
and bread cost more than vegetables
aud buildings combined with them.
The former leave you craving for some.
thing else, which YOU have to satisfy,
while good mixed diet supplies all your
wants.
You a often see workmen or boys
gulp down their launches of bread and
meat, and look around them for some
thing they have not got. The thirst
~guenching, succulent vegetable is not
there; the tasty second dish is wanting,
and the craving remains unsatisfed.
Still, double is spent in drinks. -Food
