"Iast week mare belonging to Mr..
Muncy, who resides on the Touchet,
three miles below town, displayed an
unusual amount of horse sense. The
attention of several members of the

actions of the mother of young colt.
This intelligent animal would run up
to them, rub them with her nose,
whinnying and then run toward the
river. Curiosity prompted them to
follow her, when they discovered her
colt entangled in drift in the river,
only the head being visible. The colt
was removed from its uncomfortable
position and is alright save few scars
which remain as witnesses of its rough
treatment. The mare had seen its
danger and gone in search of help,
thereby exhibiting presence of mind

demonstrate to be sadly wanting in

\ Happy Home.

4 pretty story about German family dis
closes the secret Of a happy home, wherein
Joy aboundeth, though there are many to
feed and clothe:
A teacher once lived in Strassburg who
had hard work to support his family. His
chief JOY in life, however, was in his nine
children, though it was no light task TO feed
them all.
I His brain would have reeled and his heart
sunk had he not trusted in his heavenly
Father when he thought of the number OF
jackets, shoes, stockings, and dresses they
would need in the course of year, and OF
the quantity Of bread and potatoes they
would eat. .'
His house, too, was very close quarters for
the many beds and cribs, to say nothing OF
the room required for the noise and fun
which the merry nine made.
But father and mother managed very well,
and the house was a pattern of neatness and
order.
One day there came guest to the house.
AS they sat at dinner the stranger looking
at the hungry children about the table, said
compassionately: Is. Ii
Poor man, what cross you have to bear"'
Il? | cross to bear?" asked the father,
wonderingly what do you mean?"
Nine children, and seven boys at that y
replied the stranger, adding bitterly, Il
have but two, and each one of them is nail
in my coffin"
Mine are not" said the teacher with de-
csion.
'How does that happen" asked the guest
Because / have taught them the noble art
of obedience Isn't that so, children?'
'Yes" cried the children.
And you obey me willingly?"
The two little girls laughed roguishly, but
the seven youngsters shouted, YES dear
father, truly"
Then the father turned to the guest and
said: 'Sir, if death were to come in at that
door, waiting to take one of my nine chill
dren, I would say" and here he pulled off
his velvet cap and hurled it at the door,
Rascal, who cheated you into thinking
that had one too many p"
The stranger sighed; he saw that it was
only disobedient children that make a father
unhappy. ....
One of the nine children of the poor school
teacher afterward became widely known;
he was the sanity pastor Oberlin.-From the
German.

Advice to Young Girls.

When a girl is ten years old. she should be
given certain household duties to perform,
according to her size and strength, for which
a sum of money should be paid ler weekly.
She needs little pocket money, and the
knowledge how to spend it judiciously,
which can 50 well be given by a mother to
her little girl. She should be required to
furnish a part of her wardrobe with this
money. For instance, ii she gets ten cents a
week, she should purchase all her stockings
or all her gloves, as the mother may decide !;
and doing this under the mothers supervis-
ion she will soon learn how to trade with
Judgment and economy. OF course, the
mother will see to it that the sum is sutfi-
cient to do this, and yet leave trifle for the
child to spend just as she pleases. This will
supply a healthy stimulus; it will give her a
proper ambition and pride in her labor, and
the ability to use money properly. As she
grows older, these household duties should
be increased. with proportionate increase
of money paid for the performance of them.
l know of lady who divides the wages of
servant among her three daughters. There
is a systematic arrangement of their labor,
which is done with thoroughness and alac-
rity rarely found, either with hired girl or
a daughter who feels that she has to do it,
with nothing to encourage and stimulate her
in the work. 4. Kingsbu,y IN Woman's
