SLEEP THE BEST REST.-A physi-
clan says the cry of rest has always
been louder than the cry for food.
Not that it is important, but it is Of
ten harder to obtain. The best rest
comes from sound sleep. OF two
men or women, otherwise equal, the
one who sleeps the best will be the
most moral, healthy and efficient.
Sleep will do much to cure irritability
of temper, peevishness and uneasi-
ness. 1t will restore to vigor an over
worked brain. 1t will build up and
make strong weary body. 1t will
cure headache. 1t will help brok-
en- spirit. 1t will assuage sorrow.
Indeed, we might make long list of
nervous and other maladies that sleep
will cure. The cure of sleeplessness
requires clean, good bed, sufficient
exercise to produce WEAKNESS, pleas
ant occupation, good air, and hot too
warm room, clear conscience and
avoidance of stimulants and narcotics

A VERY NATURAL MISTAKE.

A young man from one of the back
towns came in to buy present for
his girl one day last week. His won
dering gaze being transfxed by the
grotesque display in one of the dry
goods windows, he entered the store
and bashfully stepped up to pretty
young lady behind the counter.
"How much are those - he inquir-
ed, pointing at PAIR of handsome
wrought nickle plated garters in the
window.
"Seventy-fve cents" replied the
young lady, sweetly, handing out the
articles in question: and blushine

ron pardonng out an old, white-hared man who
had been half century in the Charleston (Mass
States Prison. he utterly refused to go; therefore, by
his own request he was allowed TO spend his remain
ing days inside the prison walls
Pardoned out Pardoned out. do you say? At liberty
Ne pardoned out-out OF these prison walls? Is it
truly SO?
l, who for sixty dreary winters have dragged this
clanking chain
Turned of these was at last-at last-and free to
roam again?
Partioned out, Is it truef Is music ringing in my
ears?
Pardoned out! What is your pardon to me-ln Jail

What does poor. old, broken-down wreck of a man
like me
Want of pardon now9 Too late--alas too late to
be free.
What would your pardon give but worse.a poorer

What know of the world when outside of the prison

What know 1 of world in which I'm unused to roam
Better die here in this cell than seek another home
Where would l go. if go must; where would my
footsteps tend;
Where would seek for shelter; where would find

Where is wife, child. parents. acquaintances? Let
the grave reply.
Shall 1 seek out my home with them? Then wait
until die.
1t wont he long-I know it sr-I feel it written here
Something whispers il to through the long nights
dark and drear.
Something or other tells that this life is nearly
spent
Better go out by the grave, sir than by the pardon

There was time-O God shudder, it seems so
A time when these eyes shed tears, where tears now
refuse to flow.

grasped those bars
And would stare through the CRATES at The sky and
muse with the twmkling stars
A time when these dungeon walls seemed cold. and
dark, and drear;
A time when the clank of these chains would fill me-
and thrill me with fear.
A time when longed for sound of some living thing
that was free,
Till the click of the eathwatch seemed heavenly
music to me.
But that is past. These walls and are friends. The
joys know they give.

They have echoed my prayers and cries; have wit

USEFUL HELPERS.
"Take. oh boatman. three thy fee.
Take-I give it willingly,
For invisible to thee

Take-I give it willingly.
For invisible to thee
Spirits twain have crossed with me-"
'Can you give me days work ?"
asked a poor woman of a well-to-do
matron.
''You look very delicate," said the
lady. 81 need some one to wash,
but you do not seem strong enough
for the work."
"Oh, yes'm; only try me, and you
will see. / have been sick and got
behind, and my children need bread;
besides Charlie will help carry the
water and lift the tubs" concluded
the woman, eagerly.
ssWho is Charlie ?" asked the lady
of the house.
"My husband, ma'am," was the
low answer.
The woman was engaged, and did
her work well, but there was some
thing that troubled the mistress of
the house greatly. AS soon as she
left the kitchen the woman would
call Charlie, and she would hear her
voice talking and laughing, and hold
ing converse with some one, but
when she went into the room there
would be no one there. The water
was carried, the tubs all lifted into
their places, but the slight woman
who washed was the only person who
was visible. When the lady of the
house paid her she said: ''Call your
husband / would like to see him.
s'He wouldn't come, ma'am," said
the woman, simply. ''No one ever
sees him but me-
"What do you mean?" asked the
lady, in astonishment.
''Why, ma'am. Charlie is dead
himself, but his spirit comes and
helps me; how could l work this
way if it didn't? / could no more lift
one of those tubs of water alone,
than you could, a'am! He's come
ever since / was sick and helps me
that way"
The compassionate lady placed
another coin with those she had al
ready given. "For Charlie and the
children" she said, with tears in her
eyes, and she saw afterward that the
sick and wearied mother was helped
by living hands.
But there must be many people
bearing burdens greater than they
are able to, who are helped and
made stronger by invisible guides
like the memory of some dead Char
lie, who lifts unseen the heavy loads,
with whom they commune as they

one moment see the angel helper at
our side! When the pious monk
left his duties to go out on deed of
mercy, he returned to- find all his
homely works done, and for one mo-
ment he saw in the door of his cell
his blessed Master smiling upon him.
1t may be a vague theory, the delu-
sion of sick brain-and there is an
infinite sadness in it-but surely.

AN ODD FIGHT. traveller in
South Africa witnessed a singular
fight. He was musing, with his eyes
on the ground, when he noticed a
caterpillar crawling rapidly along.
Pursuing him was a host of small
ants. The ants would catch up with
the caterpillar, and one would mount
his back and bite him. Pausing, the
caterpillar would turn his head and
bite and kill his tormentor. After
slaughtering number of his perse=
cutors, the caterpillar showed signs
of fatigue. The ants made a COM
bined attack. Betaking himself to a
stalk of grass, the caterpillar climbed
up tail first, followed by the ants.
AS soon as one approached he seized
it in his jaw and threw it off the
stalk. The ants, seeing that the cat
erpillar had too strong position for
them to overcome, resorted to STRAIT
egy. They began saving through
the grass stalk. In a few minutes
| the stalk fell, and hundreds of ants
pounced upon the caterpillar, He
was killed at once, and the victors
marched off in triumph, leaving the
foes body on the field.
