Getting Up i'm the Morning

The way to get up in the morning
is just to do it promptly. The mo-
ment you are called decide at once
to rise. Do not wait until mothers
gentle voice is tired, and sister Lu-
cy has determined that she will not
call you again, and father comes to
to the foot of the stairs and calls very
seriously: civilian Ebenezer !!
Rebecca :" and you all feel that you
must rise in a hurry. Do not put
off getting up till you can hardly
take time to match buttons and
hooks, and you can't find which
string belong to the other, and
suspenders snap, buttons fly of,
boots and things are generally
crooked. When first you rise, let
your thoughts go to God in thank
fulness that you are alive and well,
ready to begin another day. Then
wash from head to foot with a
sponge and cold water, and dry
yourself with a rOugh-crash tower,
or take a rub with stiffflesh brush.
You will feel quite warm and glow
ing after this exercise, which is the
better for being rapidly performed.
Dress so neatly and entirely, to the
last touch of shoe-pOlish and the
last flourish of the hair-brush, that
you need think no more about your
dress all day. Be shure TO attend
to your teeth. They are good SER
wants, and have so much work 10
do that they deserve to be carefully
looked after, not with irritating
powders, but with a clean brush,
pure water, and occasionally dash
of white CASTLE soap,

BY a careful observance Of the plain

HeW He Found out.

The proprietor of a large dry
goods establishment on the Public
Square, undertook, last Saturday,
to ascertain whether his advertise
ment was a profitable investment.
Commencing in the afternoon, he
asked each customer who called for
a certain line of goods how they
knew his house kept such goods.
From each individual to whom the
query was put the answer came
promptly: 81 saw it in the Ban
ner." When the merchant had
sold nearly a hundred dollars worth
of goods to persons who ''saw it in
the Banner" he expressed himself
as satisfied Nashville Banner.

A tired woman hushed to sleep
her Nesting babe. Beauty oEeaI
made her face radiant, perhaps, cat
all that beauty is gone now. The
blue eye is dim and faded-the pale
brow covered with lines of care.
Perhaps, with that far off look of
hers, she sees three little graves,
green with as many summers. Her
home is very humble-all day she
has toiled, and the fainting spirit
almost surrenders to fatigue, the
downcast eyes tremble in tears-she
is so weary. And every nerve tin
giles when the "boys" come home
hungry from school, some with
tale of sorrow that mother must
hear.
And after they were hushed with
kisses or chidings, it is time to get
supper for seven hungry mouths,
and the accustomed. never en- ling
routine Of putting away and clean
ing up, till the worn out creature
wonders with a sigh If there really
will ever come a rest 20 her-nn
eternal rest.
Al last she can seat her weary
limbs in the-old corner rocking
chair. The babe, whose eyes clpse
fitfully to lullaby, lies in his faith
ers lap. He is plain man, that
good father, with an honest face
and a great heart, that would take
in all the cares and sorrow OF the
household.
The babe sleeps. With a rude
gentleness he lays il on its mothers
bosom, and as the ruddy freight
plays over her careworn features,
he looks upon her with eyes sud-
denly grown lustri0us and beauti-
full. He lifts his great hand softly
till it rests on her shoulder, as he
says:
III love you, Mary"
How the poor heart leaps into
love, light and rest. How vanish
the cares that trod upon her very
soul. she reflects not now that the
pretty babe with pink-hushed cheek
against her breast has worn her pa
thence threadbare with its constant
fears and unrest. She forgets that
the fire would smoke, the broth
burn, that the children. teased her
that the clothes-line broke, and that
every limb in her frame ached with
fatigue,
What were those in comparison
with the steadfast love that has
burned for eighteen years is the
sunlight of happiness, through the
clouds of despair, when beauty
made her winning, and when her
charm of loneliness had gone, and
the freshness of her youth departed
for ever? What cared she for aught
outside her home, thought she had
many sorrows, while such words
thrilled her whole being?
81 love you, Mary"
All! you long, long married, re-
pining husbands, who exact every
attention and duty-how much
would il cost to make your home
thus beautiful, with all its cares |
l tell you, one word will loosen
great burdens from the shoulders CT
the woman you call wife. Try it.
Go home some night and look upon
her with the eyes of long ago.
For one moment think how great
trials she took into her heart when
she married you. Then tenderly
clasp her hand, and as she looks
with wonder-Opened eyes say to her
in a low and steady voice, not care
lessly and sportively, but earnestly:
81 love you"
Trust me, it will be to her and to
you both better than diamands.-
