Boys Need Company.

Boys must have sympathy, good cheer,
and something to do. Youth especially
needs warm grasp of the hand, a
sunny smile on the face, tender interest
in the hopes and plans of an untried life.
Older people grow lean and shrivelled OF
soul from the GOODNESS and selhshness
they find in after life; but children, and
youth especially, must have the warmth
of affection for a healthy growth. We
must not forget that they need company
My boy visits but seldom, said a
young mother to us !" but our lawn is
often full of boys who visit him."
Said young man in one of our New
England colleges:
For six. months L have not stepped
into house where there are ladies, and |
miss their society,"
And the Christian women about him
had forgotten that the college boy need
ed Just the refinement and tenderness
which his own home had furnished.

Stop.

Railway signals are positive. At GER
tain points are seen sign-posts on which
appears this word "sToP." 1t is unat-
tended by adjective or adverb. 1t is as
condensed as a rife-ball. The approach
to railway crossing or drawbridge is
guarded by tie peremptory signal.
We were riding on swift train at high
speed when with sudden Jerk the
" Westinghouse" slowed our train to a
stand-still. a look at the block signal
ahead explained The red signal was
silent, yet its voice was heard" above
the roar of our many wheels. 1t said
stop as plainly as the sign-board with
large word in black at the drawbridpe.
To human being this little word is
as positive as to railway train. I recall
a case. More than eighty years ago a
boy went to Newark to learn trade
His brave father was an invalid, but
earned his own bread The mother was
dead, but not forgotten When she died
she told this son to fear God. The very
morning he started the father had repeat
ed to him that message. And yet one
Sabbath he had spent in reckless and bad
company. That night he did not sleep
He thought Of the mothers words-her
dying words. The words Of the invalid
father were recalled. He was in good
company that Sabbath night and the
fruit was unto life.
AS he tossed and thought and wept the
boy said:

mother said, taking him on her knee, "of
last Sundays lesson about the covetous
man who wanted to pull down his barns
and build greater ones to store away his
crops in. Didn't you pray tonight Give
us this day our daily bread?'"
Yes. but, mamma replied Harry,
" You could't be ve'y happy if you had
only bread every day, any more than I,

"Some people have been very happy
for long time with only bread and
water" said his mother. Jesus means
to teach US when He gave us that prayer
that we don't need any thing to make us
really happy but the simplest, plainest
food and clothing and houses and He
wants to be satisfied with little if we
cant have great deal of money. We
shall all be rich one Of these days, darling,
if we are loving children of our Father
in heaven. The Bible says, He that
overcometh shall inherit all things.
Wouldn't it be better to be poor here, if
it is Gods will, and rich in heaven ?"
Harry did not know just what answer
to make to this question then, but after

poor, he might be sure at last to reach

Home Friendships.

If we cultivate home friendships with
the same assiduity that we give to those
outside, they will yield us even richer
and fairer returns. There is no friend
ship SO pure and beautiful in it's nature,
so rich and full in its power of blessing,
or so singularly rare i'm its occurrence,
as that between parents and their grown
up sons and daughters. Where the pa
rental and flial instincts are supple
mented by that higher and more spirit
ual affection that binds together minds
in intellectual communion and souls in
heartfelt sympathy, few deeper or more
delightful friendships can be imagined
The guardian and dependent gradually
lose themselves in the dear companion
and true friend of later life and youth
becomes wiser and age brighter, and
both nobler and happier in this loving
and abiding union.

In less than five minutes you shall

" This is a riddle which I cannot

Then I will solve it for you," re-
turned the king, and' with that he put
his hand into his pocket, and pulling out
fifty gold-pieces, placed them in the
hand of the farmer.
