Keen Cheerr.

One of the most delightful sights we
know of is that of sunshine in human
faces. How such man draws us to
himself. See his large, sunny nature.
Nothing seems to cloud his face. While
others are gloomy, or discouraged, he is
full of hope and full of courage. He
looks on the bright side; he laughs at
adversity and snaps his fingers in the
face of discourageinentS He tones up
all around him. Soldiers on the march
feel the invigorating effect of such a
mans presence, Tired workers every
where are cheered and strengthened by
the sight of such faces and the sound OF
such voices.
This is a priceless possession to a
mother, wife, teacher, minister, or any
leader of men. Think of the discour
agement and WEAKNESS of working on,
day by day, by the side of one, or under
the authority CT one, who is always
gloomy and morose. 1t We're as pleasant
and as easy to labor in darkness and in
shadows.
CHEEKY men and women are stronger
men and women. They do more. They
age less, carry no useless burdens, and
avoid much friction. Their faces are
known and read of all men, and what a
Joyous. health-giving tale they tell.
Do you say this is all beautiful and
true, but these we speak of have no
trials? No ilI-health, or broken for
tunes, or crushed hopes have ever come
to shadow and embitter their lives?
Stop, friend, this supposition of yours is
all wrong. These men and women could
tell you often of severe sickness or great
reverses of fortune. These things have
not prevented them, need not prevent
any one, from living III the sunlight.
o, how we need such men and women
now. We need them in every home and
every church. Are YOU one of these?
Then you are doing good continually;
doing it as the sun shines in heaven, or
the rain falls on the earth. God bless
you in your helpful ministry
Are you not one of these? Then you
miss much of the sweetness and joyous
ness of life. Get out from under the
clouds, You were never meant to live
in tears continually. Reioicel Cheer
up Whistle, sing, do something to
brighten yourselves. Live honestly be-
fore God and man and do good. Cheer
up others and thus fill your soul with
sunlight. s'God bless us every one,
and fill our souls with the sunshine of
His presence, and our daily life with
sunny faces, kind words and unseltish
acts.-Goldes1 Rule

A Use For Old Pianos.

What becomes of old pianos? That
well-known and most adventurous
Frenchman, yclept De Tonnant, who,
calling himself Orelie L., was for some
time King of Araucaria, wished to gain
at one time the support of a most in
fiuential old Patagonian chief. He ac-
cordingly bestowed on the savage a
worn-out grand piano, which he had
bought for eighty francs. A few days
after making this generous present, De
Tonnant went one morning to pay an
early visit to the Patagonian. He found
him sleeping peacefully with his wife
inside the piano, from which he had
carefully removed sounding-board,
strings, etc.. and which, thus trans
formed, constituted a not uncomfortable
bedstead. This may account for the
final resting-place of old ..grands,' but
what is the end of worn-out cottage
pianos?-London Truth.

A Lonely Death.

TIe was diving and alone. Not one o.
his kin was near to reuder the last seSfS

been a wreck. He was a self-ruincd man.
He thought of it bitterly even then, as
he lay under the trees with the blue sky
for roof and the leaves bending over
him with pitying shade; thought of his
wasted opportunities his blighted facul-
ties. and the shame of this death. like an
outcast or a wounded animalI Burning
with fever, he could not crawl again to

Was that his mother voice? No it was

His means disturbed the winged crea-
lures about him. O, God! was this what
his wears of manhood had led to-a
lonely death in the woods, with no

Where were they ALL He called feebly:

and q bTight-eyed squirrel frolicked down

room under the roof, where the scent of
the laburnum trees reached him, and his
mother held his hot hand in hers and
smoothed the moist curls from his fore
head; and he could hear the woodpecker
on the roof tap-tap-tap, and thus dream

shadows of night slanted through the
trees. and
In the dim and distant ether
The first star came shining through,
And another-and another
Trembled softly in the blue.
Then he awoke, clear headed, and
with the calm Of great silence about
him; his dim eyes wandered to the stars
to the cool blue skies the far of
/ Heaven above, where he knew now his
mother had gone; he was not thirsty,
nor hungry nor suffering any more, and
all the letters of ice and sloth seemed to
have fallen away, and soul and body
alike bathed in the waters OF ineffable
peace; he did not even feel the chill OF
death on hand and heart. and the breath
that fluttered on his lips was as serene

faithful dog that through i'll report and
abuse had followed the fortunes of his
master; whose half-human heart was
rent now with a dumb sorrow, who all
night long watched there by the silent
form and kept every harmful thing
away.
