greeted her. And such a time as We had
taking her over the house and witnessing
her delight and surprise; mingled with lit
tie soft hearted rebukes for working so hard
while she was gone But when she came
upon her own room, and her eyes fel! upon
the bright new carpet. the bed with its
snowy spread and ruftied pillows. the easy
chair and dressing table, with all its little
appointments, il was really refreshing to
hear her esclalm over the extravaganza We
had been guilty Of, and all for the sake OF a
woman who vas fast growing old But oh.
when We told her We hal done il all that she
might dwell in perpetual youth; when We
whispered in her ear the lesson We had
learned BY putting ourselves IN her place
when We told her what We proposed TO do IN
the future, that she might live, not as a
slave. but as queen among her children,
how her heart meltea into tears. and with
what manifest love she chung TO US
And As the years still come and go We are
reaping a blessed recompense The rich
reward Of our struggle with ldleness and
.elf-Indulgence We see before Us IA the faces
Of our loved and loSing parents. where sits
a sweet content and beams a look of youth
once more They share with II, our pleas
urcs aud our entertainments; We share with
them the otherwise solitary hours. and in
the interchange Of thought and feeling find
wisdom We could have gained from no other
source. Rejoicing in the knowledge that
VI are smoothing for them the rugged path
way Of mortality. We feel our rrcompen.e to
be iucurruprihlr. being assured that i IS as
gold lald up in the treasure house Of God,

We have been out on the briny deep after

a. usual. The Jester caught the first FISH
And II Was the only ish of that kind taken
all day
We went out after Goldfish. 1t was a
pleasant fish TO catch. Catching Goldfish is

When the Spring time comes, gentle Annie,
the old Goldfish that hangs on a nail away
back in the darkest corner Of the cellar dis
counts the noisy onions piled up on the mid
die Of the floor. and then it doesn't half
try. The dryer il gets the louder it grows.
You must be blind if YOU couldn't lear the
flavor Of two-yesr-old Goldfish.
But when he is new he is quiet, and you
miss the old familiar bouquet When YOU
go for cod FISH you must first get your her
ring for bait. We approached lone fisher
man for this purpose, and besought him that
he would lend us few herring But he
wasn't doing a ..scount business then, and
SAID he had ory u fes-oh, such a very,
very few.
well, couldn't you let Us have three or
four"
But he shook his head sadly, a one who
should "a, he had only four or tive
Then We shouted and cried aloud, and
SAID unto the lone fisherman:
40, here is twenty five cents, hut what is
that to YOU viii you see Us die for the
want of three small herring" ?"
And the lone fisherman dropped hi. line
and made a reach for that quarter, even a.

spake with great alacrity:
"Oh, yes. have just about quarters

The Officer Who Never Drank.
lChlcago Alliance.

~N-A
In the early part of the late war, when
Gen. Grant was in command of the army
before Ncksburg, a number of officers
were gathered at its headquarters, having a
pleasant social time. One of them invited
the party to join IN a social glass all but
one accepted He asked to be excused. saw
ing that he ''neyer drank" The hour pass
ed. and each went his way to his respective
command.
A few days after this the officer who de-
clined to drink received note from Gen.
Grant TO report at headquarters. Tie obey
ed the order, and was soon in the presence
of the general. Grant said to him, "You
the officer, | believe, for their acauain-
tsnce MAS slight, who remarked the other
day that YOU never drank ?" The officer mod
estly answered that he Was Then" con
tinued the general, you are the man | have
been looking for 10 take charge Of the COM
missary department and order that YOU he
detailed to that duty" lie served his
country faithfully to the close of the war,
and sas honorably discharged. Years
passed and Grant had come to be President
The officer had settled down to the duties Of
private life, and the little incident was cher
lshed as pleasant memory.
The trouble on the border between Texas
aud Mexico along the Rio Grsnde attracted
the attention OF Congress, and q commission
WAS ordered TO ascertain the facts and re-
port. Again President Grant remembered
the man WHO never drank" and appointed
him chairman OF the board The place was
accepted aud he entered faithfully upon the
work the report submitted shows the thor
oughuess with which the duty was dis
charged
Wa le engaged in his work he made the
acquai itance Of gentleman who owned an
extensive cattle rancho in southern Texas
The acquaintance inspired confidence, and
wears after. when the Texas gentleman de-
cided to sell his rancho. he placed it in the
hands Of the man who never drank" and
during the last month ne has effected a sale
to an English company Of the rancho of
2O0, 900 acres Of land and several thousand
head Of cattle for an even million dollars
out OF which be gets commission that will
be snug fortune IN these hard times The
company that bought will enter largely upon
packing beef for foreign markets, slaught-
