Give your best sympathy. There is no
greater human power than the tenderness of
woman. If you can minister to some one in
sickness, lessen somebody's distress, or put a
flower in some poor home, you have done
thing you will always be glad to think of.
You will be remembered, and woman asks
no grander monument than to live in hearts.
Not far from my home was the plain cottage
of an Irish woman, and her only son, a
brave young fellow, dying of consumption
contracted in the war. One day, in my visit
to him, carried him some lovely red roses.
The next time went the mother said, =" He
never let the roses go out of his hand, miss.
He held 'em when he died, and the last he
ever said was, 'Give my blessin' to the
young lady for brinsin the flowers And
the desolate mother buried them with him,
as the most precious thing he possessed.
The blessing of that poor Irish youth will
always be a pleasant memory. BE gentle.
Strength of character aud sweetness of dis
position are in no wise incompatible. Doubt
less, the most winsome nature on earth is
that which combines the naturalness and
dependence of a child with the strength Of
true woman. There are people whose
touch is balm to us restful persons, whose
companionship is benediction, who draw
out the best OF our natures, whose presence
we may secretly note, but whose absence
creates void which the heart hungers to
have filled. The remembrance of tender
word will last long after you are in your
grave. A little ragged boot-black fell on
the icy streets of Chicago one winters day.
CHEEKY young lady passing said, as she
helped him up, "Did you hurt yourself?' His
whole face beamed as, after her departure,
he said to his companions, I'd like to fall a
dozen times if / could have her pick me up
like that" A harsh voice in woman is
like discord in the sweetest music. One
can easily get into complaining and dissat
fled tones. Have sunny face; and nothing
will do this save genuine kindness in the
heart. Every girl ought to try to make it
possible to her. "She brightens every life
she touches" If you never do aught else
in life bring sunshine into every heart you
meet.-Sdrdh X. Bolton.

Blunt but True.

There is said to be young man in the
Missouri penitentiary whose parents at
their death left him a fortune of $4,000.
There is where his parents made fatal
mistake. If they had taken the precaution
to invest that sum in small dog, and shot
him, and then had simply left the young
man jack plane or wood saw, with
printed instructions how to use it, the
chances are that, instead of being in the
penitentiary, he would to-day have been
gradually but surely working his way up to
a handsome competency and an honorable
old age. But ever since the days of Adam
and Eve, parents have made it point to
toll and struggle all their lives in order to
realize a sufficient sum of money to pur,
chase, when they are dead and gone, their
sons each a first class through ticket to de.
struction, and it is not much to be wondered
at that so many of their sons are in vice
and idleness, as too many of them often are
have no higher ambition than to invest
their inheritance in just that sort of trans
portation.-Selected.

Frank, unmindful of the many cries that
break forth now. takes his little sister in
his arms and bears her off TO the school
room where he pets and soothes her until
her tears are dried. Then he remembers the
one who saved her. and with his heart over
flowing with gratitude, rushes out to thank
him and ask forgiveness for the past. He
has not far to go, for just outside the door,
he meets several Of the boys bringing John
in their arms.
Several of the younger ones are crying,
and amid the general confusion and excla-
nations, the teacher arrives; and one OF the
boys is sent for the doctor and another for
his stepfather. But what can human power
avail where death has set his sealf
Two days later people flock to attend the
funeral and those who week before were
unmindful of his existence or, at best,
greeted him with frown, are the most ca
ger to show their grief and respect. From
whispers it grows to be talked boldly how
meanly and unjustly he had been treated,
and every one is telling how badly some one
else has treated him. His school-mates have
riAed every plant in the village to get fresh
flowers to place in the grave.
But Mary Hunton thanks God as she
stands by the coffin, that he has seen best
to call him home just at the contamination
of so grand deed; though she realizes that
her own life will be more lonely now
than ever.
"Greater love hath no man than this, that
man lay down his life for his friends"
As the minister closed his remarks with
these words, some are sobbing outright,
while many wish, o, so fervently that he
might come back again and they would be
so kind to him. If even one of the kind
words that are spoken now had been said to
him when living, it would have made him
happy indeed. But of what use are they
to him now2 Would they make his mar
row bed less dark and cold, or cause the
wind to moan less drearily through the trees
above his grave ?
Let us hope that the angels did not re-
ceive him as the worst boy in school,

Power OF Example.

The great Doctor Guthrie long followed
the custom of most Scotch ministers in his
glass of wine. But there was
in Scotland poor, ignorant driver, who was
wise enough to prefer total abstinence. And
one day the doctor rode in his cab, or wagon,
over wild part of the country in pouring
rain. When au inn was reached, the doctor
took some whisky in glass to keep off the
cold, and offered some to the cabman. No,
thank you, sir Pm teetotaller." very
simple answer; not word of argument,
only example. don't suppose that he ever
knew that his refusal did any good. But
the learned, eloquent doctor remembered it,
Soon after, when he was called TO Edin-
burgh, and went round among his poor
parishioners, he found rum was the cause
of much poverty. He could not say any
thing to them while he took his glass, and
he thought of the course of the poor cab
man. He became teetotaller, and did what
a man in his position could do. The good
done by his sermons, addresses, books,
schools and labors, will never be known I'M
til the judgment. A few months ago |
went through the ragged schools he founded
in Edinburgh for poor children-temper-
ance homes. In four kingdoms l saw no
such joyful sight as that of these ruddy-
faced, happy urchins. The cabman was
not aware that by his modest refusal to
drink he that day helped to wear away q
habit in another that leads only to evil, and
to start great man in course that was
salvation to multitudes for whom he labored

Winter Evenings at Home.

Let us be careful, during these winter
months, that the social gatherings, societies,
meetings, clubs, etc., which so multiply at
this time and claim attention, do not over
shadow more important domestic duties or
interfere with our family relations. 1t UNI
doubtedly "does us good" to get out of our
"ruts, to go out among other people, to hear
their opinions, and see their way Of doing
things. 1t helps us also to do society work,
to understand and be governed by parlia-
nentary rules. 1t disciplines us, and teaches
MS business-like methods; but we must not
become so engrossed in such pursuits or pleas
ures as to weaken our interest in the home.
No family can afford to give up their own
gathering about their own fireside. No mat
ter how good the objects are which call us
so constantly into fields of labor outside of
the domestic circle, we shall in no wise be
absolved from our individual responsibilities
toward those under our own roof. There
should be at least one evening in the week
when the entire family will remain at home
an evening to talk over family matters,
affording an opportunity for parents and
children, brothers and sisters, to keep up
their interest in and acquaintance with each
other. The value Of such custom would
be incalculable in cementing affection and
in increasing mutual respect and apprecia-
ton. During these evenings, the utmost
freedom and sociability should exist the
parents and elder children, meanwhile, en-
deavoring to lead the conversation, and to
interest the whole in some improving sub
ject. Everything should be done to make
them pleasant and profitable. Games, plays,
music, reading aloud, discussions, studies of
artists and authors and their works tricks

What Happened to
MR.. JOSEPH BEACH !
Stone in the Kidney expelled after
using DIR. David Kennedy's
"Favorite Remedy" for
about two weeks.
What Happened to

One Of the most remarkable cases that has ever
been brought before the notice of the public is
that Of Mr.. ]. s. Beach Of Stone Ridge, Ulster
county, New York. Mr.. Beach had suffered since
October 18th, 1874, from the presence OF Calculus
or Stone in the right Kidney. No less than seven
physicians were employed at differen. times, to
whom Mr.. Beach paid hundreds Of dollars for
medical treatment, with only temporary relief
from his agony.
By the urgent solicitations Of his friends he was
induced TO try DIR. David Kennedy's "Favorite
Remedy Experienced marked improvement
from the first day he began to use the medicine;
on the 18th of September he voided stone as
large as could be passed through the natural
channel.
Mr.. Beach concludes long letter to DR.. Ken
nedy by saying; at will always afford me pleas
ure to recommend the " Favorte Remedy" to
those who may be suffering from difficulties OF
the Kidneys and Bladder, or any disorders arising
from an impure state Of the blood. The "Favor-
lite Remedy sold by all druggists. The Doctor $
