Punctuality.

Thai was an awkward predicament in
which poor Mr.. P. found himself-name-
~, five minutes too late for his wedding
minutes which seemed to the marri-
age party, and especially to the bride,
like hours of torture. Strange that such
a mischance did not cure him of un-
punctual habits; yet it proved unavail-
ing; for the gentleman and his wife kept
the company invited to meet them at
half an hour; and still, though old mar
ried people, continue in all things the
same evil usage, causing thereby an
amount of annoyance to their friends
never to be sufficiently regretted, and
making their enemies ':chortle" malig-
nantly. An officer invited by an eccen-
trio nader aunt to wait upon her at a
certain hour, forfeited a valuable gold
watch, because. he arrived i've minutes
late, the stern old dame brooking no de-
lay, and b%estowing the gift on another
relative instead.
We pity the condition Of the strug-
Cling young doctor who, being sem for
in great haste by a certain millionaire,
delayed five minutes, and found, on ar
irving at the house of the patient, that
another M. d. had entered the house
before him, thus suicidally damaging his
WI p%rosnects at the beginning of his
career. Five minutes before the hour
and you have matters in your
hands; two minutes after it and you are
left out in the cold, as the lady felt who
drove in a cab to tie last train and, ar
irving two minutes late, had the pleas
ure of a l0-mile drive on a dull winter
night, with EOS. to pay at the end of her
journey instead Of 2s.-Chamber's Jour-
nal.

The Game He Did Not UnSor-
Stand''.
"What's the game YOU speak of?n

whats the game you speak of?''
"Euchre. All! I see you're father
surprised. And, I am not surprised
you're surprised. But, take my word
for it, even SO simple and apparently
honest household game as euchre can
be made more effective than poker with
marked cards and alittie change in the
numbe. of .pasteborads used in the
game: Just look at this pack; Nothing
peculiar about it, you say. Well, you're
mistaken. You see, for example, that
instead of being cut perfectly straight
along the edges the cards are cut like
one end. Half the pack Is cut with
the bottom of the cards narrower than
the top, and the other half with the
tops narrower than the bottoms. OBJ
serve the effect when I draw the pack
through my hand to separate the cards.
Presto! l have all the clubs and spades
in one hand, and all the hearts and
diamonds in the other. That is one adj
vantage gained, the possession of which
is highly. valuable to a player. Now ex-
anime the backs Of the pasteboards.
You can't see anything, you say. No,
OF course YOU can't. But i'll point out
to You pencil dot here on this ace of
spades, and another dot on an
other space on this queen Of clubs, and
80 on through the pack, show you dots
in all kinds of positions, you will doubt
less tumble to the fact that it means
something. Well. it does have a pretty
big meaning. It is that l can tell the
denomination of every card in the pack
by simply glancing at the dot on the
back, and by cutting the cards ]. COG
get az the seemingly unascertainable fact
whether o certain card is a diamond, a
spade, or a club, or q heart."-Talk with

word for Boys and Girls.

1t is no use trying to stop sport among
the young. You might as well labor to
keep the dog from careering round you,
the lamb from frisking, and the colt from
gamboling. It is all from the life which
the author of our being hath planted in
u frames. The old may not be able
to enjoy it themselves, but if they are
not sour and grabbed they will rejoice
in the enjoyment of it by Others. The
boy leaps and runs. The girl hops and
dances. The young man betakes him
self TO cricket or base ball. or, If he has
opportunities, to 60 fighing or shooting.
You cannot stop this if you would. The
wise man viii not seek TO stop it. If he
could do SO he would not thereby rem
der his son more moral or pious. He
might shut him up in his house and de.
bar him from all amusements, but in
the repression secret vices might be
gendered and fostered, and in the end
break out in open acts.-Dr. McCosh.

Laying the Foundations.

He who would achieve an honorable

diary:

No n in the store did better work,
or was more obliging and useful. The

and was unwilling to give higher wages

with his nephew by giving seventy-fve
dollars. The third year the young man
was master of the situation, and the UNI
Gle was glad to retain him by giving him

The FOOlishness of ssTreating"u-
Illustrated.
From the Middleton Press.

A party Of three or four gentlemen
who were in a hotel in this village a few
days before election were invited to
"take something" by one OF their num-
Der. After they had taken it and chat
ted a few minutes another of the party
solemnly suggested that it would be we'll
to "take something" They accepted
the invitation and took something again.
They then started out, and in a few
minutes, as they were passing q dry
goods store, another Of the party
stopped them and said:
"Let's 60 n land take something"
why, that's a dry goods store" said
one of the party.
"Well, what of it? Come in"
In they marched, and arranging them
selves before the counter, the gentle.
nan who hadinvited them propounded
the question, "What will you take?"
One OF the party took a box Of collars,
another took a clean tshirt. When the
bill had been settled and they had
walked out, they looked at each other
sheepishly and began to see for the first
time the foolishness Of the treating"
business.

The cultured mind! Before I speak
The words, sweet maid, to tinge thy chez
With bushes ofthe nodding rose
That on thy breast in beauty blows,

They Are Not Strangers, Mamma

Not.long ago | stood by the death bed
of a little girl. From her birth she had

her body and soul reco;led from the
thought Of it. "Don't let me de-" she

was a little country girl, strong limbed,
