YOU WILL NEVER GROW OLD.

Altho' you may dwell mid the Orient s

Or live in the regions of ice and OF

Or if you inhabit the Occident's countries,
Or dwell in the Tropics luxuriant glow,
Be sure you can find this most magical
fountain,
Whose waters perennial youth can inn
par;
But don { search the woods and the for

Stay just where you are and look down
iny you heart
IT'S the heart wherein springs its miracu-
lous waters,
IT'S there, odly there, you will find its
pure rill.
bet its clear ripples widen their soft-fow-
ing circles,
And the hearts secret channels with
sweet water fill.
Remove from around it the briars of
Malice,
The brushwood Of Folly, and brambles
The foul weeds of Envy, and poisonous
Impeding the flow of the springs limpid
tids.
Then plant it about with the flowers of
Virtue,
The tendrils of Faith, and sweet Chari-
tvs balm,
Let's Hopes vernal leaves wave their ban

Then watch its pure waters, how lovely
and calm
And then to your heart endless youth will
be given;
Each year passing onward fresh joys
will unfold;
From the spring of Goodwill spouts the
clear limpid fountain,
And as long as it flows you will never
grow old !

Mrs. Dane was sweeping out the

cords and tassels of red worsted, to

possible dust.

Home Influences.

A vivid writer says that an hours
instruction in Sunday-School to a
child who comes from profane,
goddess home, is but plank pushed
into seething current to be caught
up and carried along. The one hour
has l67 other hours of the week to
counteract it. Malevolent passions
are Weakened in that atmosphere of
oaths. Blasphemy cuts the air like
flying scraps of red hot iron. The
boys playmates are youthful thieves
and the hero of the neighborhood a
burglar. Supernatural power may,
and does sometimes overcome, but
rarely. The odds are against us. 1t
is the home we must first reform.
Domestic visitation must precede as
well as follow the work of the mis-
sion school, or that will be likely to
be fruitless.
A kind work at the right time may
save a soul that is sinking in the
current of sin. The writer knew a
boatman, who, by the breaking of a
paddle while in the rapids, was in
stantly hurled into boiling waters.
He struggled in the foam as one
trained to danger can, but all in
vain. 81 must die !" thought he, as
his brawny arms relaxed, when sud-
denly, above the roar of the rapids,
came the CHEEKY shout of a friend,
STEADY, Dick, hold up minute
more ~ In an instant a light canoe
dashed by like an angels wings dip
ped as it paused, and paddle swept
him into the boat and he was saved.
To this day he declares that nothing
under heaven but that comrades
cry saved him from sinking. New
life came with the word STEADY"
SO may it be in the case Of some
father or mother lost in sin and de-
sparing of ever being saved. A
word to them, not at arms length,
from the pulpit, but by the wayside
or at their homes, may be the turn
ing Joint of destiny. He that thus
speaks may save a soul from death
and hide multitude of sins.

An Electric Rat Destroyer
West Chester Local News.

w est OueStcT LUCht NtWS
Ralph Corbit, an ingenious twelve
year old boy of Honeybrook, Chester
county, has devised novel plan of
getting rid Of rats which infest his
fathers cellar. He has constructed
out of old fruit jars battery of three
leyden jars, which he connects and
places on large iron plate, which
touches the tin foil on the outside.
The bait is so arranged that when
the rat steps upon the plate and
seizes the bait, he at once makes a
connection between the outside and
inside of the jars and they are dis
charged though his body killing him
literally as quick as lightning. He
charged the jars by means of an cleo
trical machine, also constructed by
himself. He ran a couple of wires
through the floor to the cellar from
the room above; as soon as he would
hear rat squeak he would immedi-
ately recharge the battery. The first
time he put the machine in opara-
tion he slaughtered twenty five rats in
the space of three hours, and in two
days the cellar was entirely cleared
of the pests.

The Story Of Four Boys.

"There is always room at the top,''
answered Daniel Webster to one
who had inquired il the profession
of law was not full. The answer
has become proverbial saying. Ed
ucators often quote it to stimulate
boys to do their best to reach 'the
top" where they will find room for
the exercise of their talents. But
all boys have neither time nor abili-
ty to climb to "the top" Such are
apt to find the saying a hindrance
rather than help. 1t tempts them
to think that there are no chances
at the foot. Perhaps more stimu-
lating saying for this class is to be
found in the revised translation of
Ecclesiastes, 8, 10; "Whatsoever thy
hand hnds to do, do it with thy
might" Four boys living at Allan
ia, Ga, have needed this voice of
the preacher. The result should en-
courage other boys to master the
wisdom of doing what we can, as
we'll as we can and when we can.
The story of these boys as told by
the Atlanta Constitution is edifying
reading:
These four boys started a few years
ago selling newspapers. They made
ten cents apiece the first morning
they went to work, and for two win
tiers thereafter they went barfooted
through the snow and frozen sleet in
the freezing dawn, on their morning
rounds.
From the very first they saved a
certain percentage Of their earnings
which they wisely invested in At
lanta real estate.
The oldest of them is now Is years
of age, and the youngest IL.
They have supported an invalid
mother all the time, and now have
property worth considerably over
$4,000, houses from which the rent
is $50 a month, and $500 stock in
building and loan association.
They have educated themselves
meanwhile, remaining from school
this year in order that they might
work the harder, and build home
for their parents that is to have a
front parlor and bay window in it.
These little fellows have been car
riers, newsboys, errand boys and ap.
prentices about the Constitution Of
flee, and one of them is now assis-
tant mailing-clerk.
Their net savings from their sales
and salaries, exclusive of their rents
has been $40 week for this year.
Next year they can do better, and
by the time the Oldest of the broth
ers are of age they ought to have
comfortable little fortune.

dreamed that the fifty dollar bill had
taken legs and was running off from

When she walked up, reused by
the noise of coal being poured upon
the stove, a candle was burning and
her husband was laughing at her.
"Why, Betsy" said he,'I thought
you never were going to wake up
again. Here you sat, with the fire
dead out, and 1 have had to kindle

"Bless me 1 must have been

"You burned it up ?"
Eyes, l burned it up. Why should

For half and hour Mrs. Dane sat
silent and never spoke word. And
her first utterance was:
'It is the Lords judgment upon
us !"
Mrs. Dane was a resolute woman,
full of character. She went to her
table drawer, took out a sheet of
paper and wrote to DR.. Bridgman,
inclosing a dollar toward poor lame
Dick Bodley's donkey and cart. She
sent another dollar to Mrs. Graham,
for the poor little O'Hanes, and
promised to donate barrel of rus
sets, a bushel of potatoes and some
of her husbands cast off clothes to
cut over for the children. And she
sent for Helen Hursh to come and
see her.

with greatful tears.
"Good! 7" said Mrs. Dane, 81 am

life. But you are welcome my dear,

She opened her parlor, shook out
the curtains and built fire in the

"Dane likes the parlor, because it

do not see why we should not enjoy

She baked a fresh batch of ginger
