"Thou Shalt Have no other
Gods Before Me"

Anna was standing in front Of the
glass, getting ready Tor Sabbath school.
q heard Mrs. Jones tell mother the
orther day 1 was prettier than ever" she
said half aloud. Il wonder if she will
see me to-day. This hat is so becoming.
1 only wish my sash was better color.
Let me see-this curl will have to be
done over again. wonder what the
catechism questions are this afternoon.
III look over them while mother is get
ting Willie ready. Oh, yes, the first
two commandments. | can't see what
Dr. Edgerton will find to say about
them. I don't worship false gods or
make craven images. [ suppose he'll
tell us about the poor heather children
in India. Oh dear, this curl isn't right
yet. Well, I'm glad Tn not heather,
that | know what is right, and with a
final look at the glass, Annie took up
her pretty parasol and started for Sab
bath School.
The minister did talk about the poor
little heather when he explained the
answers to the school, Annie felt more
than ever glad that she was not one OF
them. While she was thinking this, she
caught Mrs. Jones, whose class was near
the one where she sat, looking at her for
a moment.
[ suppose she is saying to herself,
How pretty Annie looks in her new
hat, '" she thought. How dreadfully
plain Sarah Brown is And how like a
fright she dresses
Just as she was trying to get glimpse
Of herself in the glass doors of the library
case, she caught sentence OF DR.. Edger-
tons talk about the lesson. He was say
ing that there were l-worshippers
even among children in Christian lands,
those who thought more of their pretty
faces and fine clothes than of God. He
went on to speak of these things and of
other ways in which children broke these
commandments; and Annie heard no
more, excepting something about their
being more sinful than the poor heather,
because they had been so much better
taught.
These were new thoughts to Annie
She was really sensible little girl about
most matters Notwithstanding her fool
ish vanity She went very quietly home
from Sabbath School, thinking very bust
ly about herself and the heather chill
dren. I am glad to say that though she
did not get cured of her fault at once,
she did in time-and this day made
beginning.
I wonder if there are any other little
girls or boys who worship themselves in
this or any other way ?-ZnteIhgencer.

Slang-Listen Boys.
BY RUTH ARGYLE.

Bully for you. You're trump"
Involuntary my hands went up to my
ears. felt as if had been shot, while
seated at my open widow looking out
upon a group OF boys playing ball with
all their might and main. Now if they
had been ragamufius, their language
would not have appeared at all inconsis-

ooh OH Oh III" cried and
vacated my seat at the window until that
game was finished; then l called the
boys in, and this is what l said to them ::
Boys, you have had nice game of
ball this beautiful morning, but you We
spoiled it all, every bit; shall I tell you
how ?"
IF you please, said victorious Charlie
Do you know old Jethro Miller, the
half-crazy pauper, who begs from every
one he meets a dime to buy "a bit O.

beard, besmeared with tobacco Juice I?

soldering over with filth his discolored
teeth his brown, repulsive lips?''
:" Oh yes, ma am; - and all their res

Well, now, do you wish your mouths
to be fguratively what old Jethro's is

sucm slang phrases as Bully for you,

Darn it all, etc. Why, boys, feel as
if / must scour my teeth and rinse my
mouth, even after once using them for

The noses were upt6rned no longer,
and the brown cheeks were all crimson
with shame.
Once more, boys when you had
finished that beautiful boat you made
this Summer, you turned it upside down
and covered it with pitch to prevent its
leaking. Your hands were besmeared
your clothing too, was stained, and Oh
what time you had, securing and cleans
ing for all that, brown patches dingy
and ugly, on your hands, bore testimony
for many days to the fact that you had
handled some thing unclean. Now Just
such discoloration does the use Of slang

"Cheerfully, Cheerfully."

One bright morning little Daisy was
helping her mamma put the room in or
der. The windows were open to let in
the sweet air. and as the little girl stood
a moment by one of them, looking out, a
bird in the cedars sang out, "Cheerfully,
cheerfully." The words were so plainly
sung that Daisy said, 90 mamma, do
hear that birdie singing cheerfully.'"
Do you think he says cheerfully y"
said her mother
1T sounds just like it, mamma"
Well, it is a CHEEKY song he sings,
isn't it? He must be happy, don't you
think?'
Yes, mamma = and she leaned out to
try and get glimpse of the bird in the
tree. A glancing of bright brown wings
was all she could see through the thick
boughs
Suppose you take his advice, Daisy
to-day and do everything cheerfully,
said her mamma, after pause.
1t was new thought to Daisy that a
bird should teach her lesson, and she
laughed. But she knew her fault, and
pretty soon, with little sober face, she
said
81 will try to do as the birdie says
mamma" and all day long she did try
especially if mamma would say cheer

One after another in quick succession

That's a common expres-
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by so many
things. Hay be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will so quickly and surely
cure such diseases as

it does this by commencing
