The Man is as the Wife is.

A Judicious wife is always nipping off
from her husbands moral nature twigs
that are growing in wrong directions.
She keeps him in shape by continual
pruning. If you say anything silly, she
will affectionately> tell you so. If you de-
clare that you will do some absurd thing,
she will find some means of preventing
you from doing it. And by far the chief
part of all the common sense there is in
this world belongs unquestionably to
woman. The wisest things man COM
monty does are those which his wife
counsels him to do. A wife is q grand
wielder of the moral pruning knife. If
Johnson's wife had lived, there would
have been no boarding up Of orange
peel, no touching all the posts in walk
ing along the streets, no eating and
drinking with disgusting voracty. If
Oliver Goldsmith had been married he
never would have worn that memorable
and ridiculous coat. Whenever you find
a man whom you know little about,
oddly dressed, or talking absurdly, or
exhibiting eccentricity Of manner, you
may be sure that he is not married
man, for the corners are rounded off,
the little shoots pared away-in married
men. Wives have generally more senses
than their husbands, even though they
may pe clever men. The wife's advice
is like the ballast that keeps the ship
steady.

A Business Dog.

There is q sagacious Newfoundland
dog in Norwich. He will take the
basket, in which is note, and GO to
market, get meat, vegetables, or what
ever the note calls for, and carry it safely
home. But he has daily task assigned
him which he performs, rain or shine,
and that is to carry his mistress her din
ner She keeps a millinery establish
ment and does not go home to her noon
day meal. Regularly as the day comes
around the dog may be seen trotting
along Main street at about l. 80 with a
basket in his mouth looking neither to
the right nor left, but going straight to
the store, where he sets it down and
watches 1t until his mistress comes for it.
And he is so we'll known, too, among
the Norwich dogs that he is never mo.
lested But on Monday strange dog
undertook 70 have little racket with
him while he was loaded down with his
commissary stores. He hung to the
basket, but stopped long enough to get
good look at the cowardly cur that had
interfered with him, and then started off
on run to the store, where he dropped
the basket and Immediately returned to
the street and began to search for his
assailant. He found him on Franklin
avenue and proceeded to chastise him in
true canine style. In about half min
ute he sat down and watched that cur
put in his best jumps for the hill-tops of
Voluntown, giving ki-hi at every leap.

The Little Builders


John Brown and Jenny Atkins
were great friends At school, at play,
everywhere, they were together, and
when one learned anything knew 1t was
not long before the other new it also.
Now they were watching the masons,
who were building fine house.
6 Did you know that we are builders,
john" said Jenny, as he watched the
men putting brick after brick upon the
wall.
"No, we are not; we're only boys"
said John.
But we are we are building O house
which is to last forever and ever,n said
Jenny, earnestly.
Pooh now you are not ia earnest,
said John. " Nothing in the world lasts
forever and ever. That old Morgan
House is a hundred years old, and it
won't last y hundred more"
81 can't help that" said Jenny.
Mother told me our souls would live
forever, and we were building houses for
them to live in"
How is that said John, soberly.
Well, she said that we build our
characters day by day, brick by brick,
just as that man is doing. And If we
build well, we shall be glad forever and
ever and If we build badly-f we use
shaky bricks, or@otten wood or stubble
we shall ever after be sorry
''That is strange We ought to be
pretty careful, then" said John. But
your mother is such good woman, she
she must know"
Z" think it is nice to be builders, don't
You? said Jenny.
6 Yes, if we build right But let's
see what kind of bricks had we better
use?
Always tell the truth, that's one.
Be honest; that's another" said Jem-
my.
Good cried John. Mind your
mother; there is another"
Yes, and father and teachers, too,
said Jenny. "There's big beam of
temperance in my building. Mother
says that's good beam, and keeps the
frame steady"
Be courteous there a brick" said
John. "And don't covet there's
another"
And don't speak against anybody },
and don't say any bad words" inter-
rupted Jenny. Z" And we. shall go on
building as long as we live, mother says :,
and every single day we add something
to our house."
The gentleman who owned the new
building stood close beside the boys,
hidden from their sight by high wall.
He listened to their talk intently, and
then he stepped round beside them and
said "Pretty good work, my boys; only
build on the sure foundation"
They looked a little frightened, but he
smiled so pleasantly upon them that
they soon felt at ease, and listened while
he said:
"Beleve on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Give your young hearts to God, my boys
He is the great Master Builder. He will
teach you to build so that He will say,
"Well done" Seek first the kingdom
of God, and all things else will be added
unto you" Then he added II wish
everybody would build as you plan, dear
boys. May God help you to keep His
commandments
