0ratOricaI Fear.

The late DIR. Neale, of Boston, one
of the most graceful and successful
after-dinner speakers of his day, never
lost the nervous dread of speaking to
an audience, and was uneasy until his
speech was spoken.
Canning, one of the most brilliant
and ready orators Of the English Par
lament, invariably trembled in his seat
before he rose to speak, and was accus-
toned to say loosely that he could tell
beforehand when he was to make one of
his best speeches by the excess Of his
ague.
Lord Macaulay records of Tierney
that che never rose in the House with
out feeling his knees tremble under
him."
Mr.. Stanley, afterward the Earl of
Derby, the most accomplished speaker
in Parliament, said, MY throat and
lips, when I am going to speak, are as
drv as those of man who is going to
be hanged"
Lord Althorp, the leader of the
Wing party in the House when
Macaulay and Stanley were members,
said of himself, During the week
which followed my taking Office, I did
not close my eyes for anxiety"
It is well known that Mr.. Webster,
when school-boy, could not get
through a defamation. However per-
fectly he learned his piece, his memory
invariably failed him on the stage, and
he came off ashamed of himself Boys
and young men need not feel discour-
aged if they tremble before an audi
ence. It is the price paid for success.
Only noble and gifted nature would
be so alive to the Importance of the sit
uation as to be unneryed when I see
a young man break down in that way, "
said Judge of the first failure of Sal
mon P. Chase, 1 have great hopes OF

He Knew How 1t Was Himself.

well, III attend to him. I'll lock
him up in the dark closet where [ put
you the other day when you sawed the

Don't do that, mother. Don't put

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
Childrcn's Church.

The chUrch-bells for service are ringing,
The parents gone forth on their way,
And here on the door-steps are sitting
Three golden-h haired children at play.
The darltngs, untiring and restless,
Are still for the service too small;
But yet they would fain be as pteus
As parents and uncles and all.
SO each from a hymn-book is singing
lis held upside down, il is true;
Their sweet roguish voices are ringing
As ifevery number they knew.
But what they are SIR, ing tn y know not;
Each sing in a different tine.
Sing n, title children; your voices
WIu reach TO the Heavenly Throne;
For yonder your angels are standing.
Who sing TO the Father OF all;
He loves b ast the sound of His pTa 3 -
From children, though ever so small.
Sing on! How the birds in the garden
Are wing with you in your song,
As, hopping among the young branches.
They tuitter on I'll the day long!
Sing ont For in faith We are singing.
And that is enough in Gods sight;
A heart like the doves, pure and g1ileless,
Wings early to heaven its flight.
Sing cverl We elders sing also:
We read, and the words understands;
Yet oft, too, alas we are holding
our book upside down in the hand.
Sing ever! we sing, AZ Is fitting.
From notes written carefully down;
BTt All from the strife Of the brethren
how often has harmony flown!
Sing onl From our lofty cathedrais
What melodies glorious we herr!
What are they?-a sweet childish lisping,
A breath in the Migkty Ones ear.

They Weren't Sandwiches.

Among the score of us who rushed
into railroad eating-house in Mississ
ippi at the call of twenty minutes for
dinner" was d chap who had his mind
made up to say something unpleasant
when he came to pay for his meal. He
was growing when he went in, and
jawed all the while he was eating, and
when he slouched up to the desk to pay
bis rs cents he broke out with:
"Them sandwiches are enough to kill
@ dog"
"What sandwiches"
"Why, them on the table.
But we have no sandwiches on the
table, sir, i" protested the landlord.
"You haven't? Well, I should like to
know what you call them roasted brick
bats on that blue platter?"
You didn't try to eat one of those?"
Eyes, [ did"
"Then, my friend, you had better go
for doctor at oncel Those are table
ornaments, made of terra-cotta, and
were placed there to help FIJI up space
Land O cats! but You must have lived
In a cane brake all your life!"
The traveller rushed into the car and
began to suck at whisky-fask, and he
didn't get over looking pale for three
hours.
And they were sandwiches after all
real good ham sandwiches made that
day. The landlord had adopted that
particular style, instead of using club

THE HOPE WORKS. F"
CHAPTER III.


Luckily, the wind blew the letter to
the very spot where the real Hope
Works is established, but it is not in
Fair Haven, w. [.
1t Is In the country of nobody-knows,
a large, cool, green valley, well adapted
for the works, which require steam
power, and water power, and horse
power, and man power, and woman-and-
little-children power, and every other
kind of power that makes and moves.
Quantities of people are busy all the
time hurrying about giving orders and
receiving them, and mixing and stir
ring; for great deal of hope is re-
CURED all the time, and it would be
dreadful If the supply should give out.
Large anchors are put up over the
doors, and everything is painted green
everywhere. In the very middle is a
to be combined; and here the workers
bring materials from all parts of the
earth and air and sky, wherever they
can find them of good quality. These
materials are such things as prayers
and tears, and kind little actions and
great sacrifices; they are good resolu-
tions and generous lives; legends like
that of st. Elizabeth and her roses, and
stories about children hat might,
could, would or should have been good.
Beside this foundation there has to be

There are different watts into which it
runs when made, for after this it must
be divided and the parts seasoned
differently to make the different kinds
of hope that are needed.
There must be hope for children who
are sick, that they will get well; for
lost children, that they Will be found
for naughty ones, that they will grow
good; for those who are trying hard,
that they will succeed; for those who
hate arithmetic, that they will soon get
through with the multiplication table;
that tired little children in town will &C

other such hopes. Also for grown

Separated from the soil, said Mr..
James Parton, the historian, in recent
lecture, "man never yet has succeeded
in thriving. At best without it, he is
a potted plant, and some of the pots
are miserably small. [ have visited
many factories in New England, and I
find that wherever the operatives have
a good-sized garden, with access to
pasture for cow, the people are
healthy, contented and saving. When
ever this is the case, the factory popu-
lation is able to live without actual
starvation or extreme restitution in the
event of the mills being closed for even
a long period. Whenever they.are sep
arated from the soil, as in some of our
large and crowded cities, there is squat

CHAPTER Y.

When Elsie woke up her eyes had a
refreshed look, and she spoke in her
own bright little voice. She seemed
altogether so well that they allowed
themselves to amuse her by opening
the package which had arrived.
And 10 and behold! there came out
of it two little figures about ten inches
high, but as light and delicate as air;
something between a soap-bubble and
fairies they seemed to be. One was
blonde, the other brunette, and they
were dressed alike In sparkling robes of
greenish gauze, with quivering wings
like those of the dragonfies that dart
about over ponds In summer. They
leaned upon little anchors, and saluted
the amazed child with graceful bows
and waving of their wands. Then as
she clapped her hands with delighted
laughter, they foated up as bubbles
and balloons do, and scared through
the room to the window; and whether
they broke like bubbles as they foated,
or whether they vanished into the open
sunset light, could not be known; but
the whole room was filled with the per-
fume of violets and lilies valley,
and the fresh, invigorating sea-weed
smell that the breeze brings up from the
sea.

The door shut with slight noise,
and Aunt Lucinda started from her nap,
and her spectacles slipped from her
hand.

piled, "and the doctor says she may

Twill Eyer Be So.

Nearly all the great statesmen of the
present day can look back to the time
when they would rather stand in the
mud and water up to their knees and
fish for bull-heads than help plant po-
tatoes in the best garden in the coun4
try. Even the best kind of q boy, who
is willing to work like major at any
other season of the year, seems to have
fearful falling out with all manner of
labor in the spring. But somehow the
spring garden is made each year, and
the boy grows up to manhood, and
finally has boy of his own, and q
garden that demands attention; then it
seems that when he wants his boy to
help in the garden, and fifteen min
utes later finds him In the street play
ing marbles, he forgets how it was when
be was boy himself, and he argues
with his boy with a hoe-handle. Twas
ever thus-Pech's Sat1e.

CHAPTER Nv.

They were having an anxious time at
Aunt Luciuda's, for Elsie had grown
rapidly worse, with a great deal of
fever and restlessness. She tossed and
tossed and tossed on her bed, and did
not know what she WAS saying. The
doctor bad TO go away, but he said he
would come back in few hours, and
he hoped, meanwhile, that Elsie would
fall asleep.
She was lying quite still, in a sort of
stupor rather than sleep, when the
postman came with the letters They
were brought to Aunt Lucinda, and
among others was fat package some
thing like those Hovey sends by mail
with patterns, addressed to

green pen stuck over his ear. He read
the letter and shook his head at first,
and then spoke TO his seventy-three
clerks, who were sitting waiting to
write:

The Hope Works
CHAPTER L

Aunt Lucinda was reading her Sot11-
day Herald. She had read it pretty
thoroughly, the outside and the inside,
and the supplement ON both sides, but
she hated to leave off, because then she
would have to get up and begin to
write some letters. She felt rather
tired because little Elsie was not very
well, and they had been up with her in
the night.
So Aunt Lucinda kept on reading her
paper through. her 'spectacles, and she
came upon an advertisement something
like this, down in corner:
For the little girls. Entirely fresh-style
dolls, ten inches tall, charming and life
tinted features; four by nail, several dresses
and faces both light and dark blue-eyed
and black, for so cents; stamps taken.
The Hope Works. Fair Haven, w. 1
Seems to me" thought Aunt Lucin-
da, those dolls may amuse Elsie. /
think / will send for them, as they will
take stamps"
So she got up and went to her Daven-
port and took some scissors and cut out
the advertisement, which she stuck with
gum upon sheet of paper, and then
she wrote underneath:
Please send o set to Miss Elsie RobbS Care
Of Mr. Jonathan Robbs.
Then she added the right address of
the street and number, and town and
State
After this Aunt Lucinda counted out
sixteen green Scent stamps, and one
red 2-cent stamp, which made, she was
pretty sure, so cents worth, and laid
Them in the note which she folded up
and put in an envelope, and then stuck
it together and addressed it on the out
side:
"THE HOPE WORKS."
Then she began to feel pretty tired,
and putting down her pen and leaning
back in her higf-backed chair, she took
off her spectacles and dropped asleep
A little wind came along and blew the
letter out of the window, for it was a
warm day, one of the first, and the
window near the desk was open.
