The Popularity of the Equitable Life Assurance Society,"
indicated by the fact that for Eleven years it's average an

rule never to take advantage of tecnicaes where

A Child's Fancies.

SAYS Prentice milford: What vol
umes of unwritten history, mystery and
conjecture there are in the brain of a
seven-year-old child! / believe your
grown-up poet, after all, does not pro-
duce the idealization of his baby days,
when sticks, stones, boxes and old tin
pans talked to him. But the child can
make little world of its own, and man
ufacture room full of people out of
three chairs, two rag-babies and cat.
With such material it will hold church
service, "let out the meeting" go to a
wedding, marry somebody, go to a
funeral, bury all its friends and relations,
start an alarm of fire and "run with the
machine" prescribe for the sick, go a
shopping, rejoice over the accession Of
a new baby and travel in Europe, while
you of maturer years are yawning and
wishing that some one would drop liz
whom you could talk to.

Home POliteness.

A BOY who is polite to his father and
mother is likely to be polite to every
one else. A boy lacking politeness to
his parents may have the semblance of
courtesy in society, but is never truly
polite in spirit, and is in danger, as he
becomes familiar, of betraying his real
want of courtesy. We are all in danger
of living too much for the outside world,
for the impression which we make in
society, coveting the good opinions of
those who are in sense part of our
selves, and who will continue to sustain
and be interested in us, Notwithstanding
these defects of department and charac-
ter. We say to every boy and to every
girl, cultivate the habits of courtesy and
propriety at home-in the sitting-room
and the kitchen, as we'll as in the parlor,
and you will be sure in other places to
deport yourself in a becoming and at
tractive manner. When one has
pleasant smile and a graceful demeanor,
it is satisfaction to know that these are
not put on, but that they belong to the
character, and are manifest at all times
and under all circumstances. --,Sursday-
School ClaSSn,ate.

the year, and so often it goes for trifies
of no real value that when the year is
over they have nothing to show for it.
Take the small sum of ten cents 1t may
be expended in chocolate cream drops,
and eaten up in few minutes. 1t may
be spent in buying a'dainty little easel
for your mothers photograph, or a
pretty Illuminated card, or gay fan,
which, hung on the wall, will make q
vivid bit of color quite frightening the
room. Down the street there is a
crippled boy, who watches you with u
sad, wistfui face as you go bounding
past his window ON your way to school.
Poor JIMMY the hours move very
slowly, indeed, to him. He is fond of
reading, but he has read all the books
he possesses till he knows them almost
by heart. For ten cents you can buy a
beautiful story, or charming illustrated
paper, which will give Jimmy two or
three days of delight. The money which
we deny ourselves, that we may bestow
some pleasure on others, always is the
best investment, for it returns us the
most true happiness.
Perhaps you can persuade your

weekly or monthly for your particular
expenses. Julia and Arthur, brother
and sister of my acquaintance, have
such sum, and they are careful to
keep an exact account of all that they
buy and all that they give away. Their
pens and pencils, luxuries of every sort,
and car fare, as we'll az their charity
fund, come from this allowance, and
they are learning the right use of
money as they never could in any other
way. A boy who has a scroll-saw may
earn little income for himself, if he is
industrious, in his play-time. So may
one who has printing-press. A girl
who has learned to embroider nicely,
or paint cups and saucers, can often
have her own money; and let me tell
you, money that is earned by ones
own diligence is much more enjoyed
than any other. .
A few days ago little Alice, friend
of mine, was molding in clay and
drawing with crayons just for her
childish amusement. Last year, though
not eighteen, she was able to buy her
entire wardrobe from the proceeds of
her pencil. Economy is a noble word.
1t does not mean stinginess, but rather
good management of whatever one has,
and care in the use of ones means

Thoughts From Dickens.

If you had the abilities of all the great
men. past and present, you could do
nothing well without sincerely mean
ing it, and setting about it.-Bleak
House.
There are days in this life worth life
and worth death. And oh! what bright
old song it is, that sob! tits love that
makes the world go round. '-OurM Mutual
Friend.
Pride is one of the seven deadly sins
but it can not be the pride of a mother
in her children, for that is compound
of two cardinal virtues-faith and hope.
Nicholas Mickle6u.
Men who are thoroughly false and
hollow seldom try to hide those vices
from themselves; and yet in the very
act of avowing them they lay claim to
the virtues they feign to despise-Barraa-
By Rud9e.
The old, old fashion, the fashion that
came in with our first garments, will
last unchanged until our race has run its
course, and the wide ornaments rolled
up like scroll. The old, old fashion
Death !-Dom6ey and Son.
1t always grieves me to contemplate
the initiation of children into the ways of
life when they are scarcely more than
infants 1t checks their confidence and
simplicity-two of the best qualities
Heaven gives them.-The old Curiosity
Shop.
Verify, verify, travellers have seen
many idols in many countries; but no
human eyes have ever seen more dar-
ing, gross and shocking images of the
Divine nature than we creatures make
in our own likenesses of our own bad
passions.-Little Dorrt.
Some happy talent and some FORUM
ate opportunity may form the two sides
of the ladder on which some men mount,
but the rounds of that ladder must be
made of stuff to stand the wear and
tear; and there is no substitute for
thorough going, ardent and sincere
earnestness.-The Pickwick Club.
A silent look of affection and regard
where all other eyes are turned coldly
away-the consciousness that we possess
the sympathy and affection of one being
when all others have deserted us-is a
hold, a stay, a comfort, in the deepest
affection, which no wealth could pur-
chase or power bestow.-Dauid Copper
field.
Alas! how few of natures faces are
left to gladden. us with their beauty!
The cares and Borrowings, and hunger
ings, of the world change them as they
change hearts; and it is only when
those passions sleep, and have lost their
hold forever, that the troubled clouds
pass off and leave Heavens surface
clear.-OLiUer TUist

YES, fifty is great age-people seem

have felt it as l looked before me in
the glass; | have felt it in the society of
Belle and her mates; 1 have felt it when

that done, have fled to the charms of
little Belle and Alice, that only yester-
day l remember in their cradles; and if

Spending Money.

To KNOW how to use money, how to

important parts of education. Every
penny is an opportunity, and pennies
make dollars. There are very few

she to know whether he has stopped

interviewed her and learned this: She
came from the North of Ireland to New
York City when she was sixteen years
of age, and married a bookkeeper
named Joseph Ordway. Her husband
died a year later, and she went to
Leavenworth, Kas.; from thence to
Denver, and finally, in 1876, to Lead
vile. In Denver she married a miner
named Frank Ray, but he died soon
after. She told how in Leadville she
braved the dangers and storms of win
tiers before there were buildings there
to inhabit; how Cora, her seven-year-
old daughter, had to be kept wrapped
up in heavy blankets to keep her from
freezing while she pursued her task of
building a hut; how, when the place
became settled, she saw the land she
had taken up turn into fortune, etc.,

Young man." she added, with a quiet
twinkle in her eye, 1--WE shot more
Indians than you've got fingers and
toes. You wouldn't think, to look at
me, would you, that I've gone out on

said she didn't know how long she
would stay in New York. Her property
in Leadville was attended to by agents,
and she felt perfectly content to stay
away just as long as she felt disposed.
She is now about fiftyyears old, weighs
about one hundred and forty pounds,
and is rugged and clipper.
PUBLIC opinion on the subject of
faithless husbands is very strong in
Somerset, KY Mr. Love was that kind
of an offender. His wife led mob
against him. He fled hastily, without
coat, trousers or boots, with the crowd
in close pursuit. At the end of mile
he was overtaken, and left suspended,
head downward, from tree. He was
almost frozen to death when, two hours
afterward, a humane preacher cut him
down.

But thereupon he drew up a chair,
Hung his long coat-tail over the back,
Sat down by the pieces and opened his pack,

As if rather doubtfully questioning whether

How describe the flying blocks,
The fall of steeples and railroad stocks,

And all tho various knocks and shocks

And correspondents setting out

Putting the planet into repair!

While the Moon looked pleased as a smiling
