THE HOUSE WITH CLOSETS.

How dear to the heart of the housekeeping woman,
Are comforts of which so few architects tell:
Nice children, good servants, and plenty of room
The well-ftted mansion in which they mus
dwell.
But first of the blessings kind fortune can give
her,
If she in the city or country abide,
Is that what she longs for and covets forever,
The big, airy closet, her JOY and her pride
The roomy, clean closet, the we'll ordered closet,
The big, airy closet, her joy and her pride.
The house may be perfect from garret to cellar,
Well lighted, we'll aired, with cold water and hot
And yet, to the eye of the feminine dweller,
If closetess, all is as if it were not.
How oft she has sunk like dove that is wounded
How oft she has secretly grumblod and sighed,
Because she saw not, though with all else sur
rounded,
The big, airy closet, her joy and her pride!
The roomy, clean closet, the we'll ordered closet,
The big, airy closet, her joy and her pride.
Fond husbands, who fain would have home be an
Eden,
For you and your Ewes all complete as whole,
To read in, to write in, to sleep in, to feed in,
Forget not the closets so dear to the soul:
But build them in corners, in hooks, and in cram
nies,
Wherever closet may harbor or hide,
And give to your Marys, your Hates and your
Armies,
The big, airy closets, their joy and their pride
The roomy, clean closets the well-ordered closets,
The big airy closets, their joy and their pride.
The Builder.

GOOD ADVICE.

Much may be done to prevent the
Group by the exercise of good judgment
in the care of children. Some parents
make their children very sensitive and
delicate by excessive prudence. Achild
kept in the house and treated like a
house-plant can hardly be prevented
from encountering arude blast of wintry
weather by the oversight of some one
having the care of it. 1t is better to
tougher the child by clothing it warmly
and give it good airing every day,
either in walking or riding. The mis-
take should not be made of putting fur
or wooden about the throat. Tougher
the throat as you do the face. Be sure
that the extremeties are as warmly clad
as the trunk of the body. See to it that
the shoes are made to exclude snow
water, and still avoid the use ofrubbers,
unless, if necessary, pair of low sand
ais be used to protect the SoleS OF the
feet. One more hint to over-prudent
mothers: Do not cover the child too
warmly when put to bed. Nothing is
more liable to give child cold than
to be muf1ed in too many blankets or
spreads of some kind, for as soon as it
gets into an uncomfortable perspiration
it will free itself from the cumbrous
covering, and then by a sudden check
ing of the perspiration contract cold.
There is absolutely more danger from
excessive than too little covering.-Dr.
F0Ote'S Health M0ntkb.

ONLY AN EDIToR.-While the Rev.
DIR. J. M. Reid was engaged in editorial
work some time ago, he was invited to
preach in Chicago. As he took a seat
early in pew to mediate onhissermo
he discovered that prayer-meetlngw
going on in the adjacent room, and h
could overhear what was said. Presently
a loud brother engaged in prayer, and
the bulk of the petition was for the
preacher of the evening, who was listen
ing. After touching on various matters,
in which he thought the Lord needed
information, he said: go Lord, bless
him who is to speak to US this evening.
He is a poor, weak man, but make him
a power. Bless his message. We know
that he is only an editor, and that ne Is
rusty; but do, Lord, rub the rust off.

As they do stand whom Death has left,
A treasure dearer far than gold
Mine empty hands will seek and hold

Yet incense bearer to the King,
His tidings glad borne on its wing.

And all the life before Rtwill touch

FUN, FACT, FICTION.

One by one the roses fall
One by one the cashiers go:
Mince pies fade away in spring
Boys begin to play baseball.
When the gentle summer comes,
With its wealth of blooming flowers,
Then picnic gently sprouts
In the sylvan dells and bowers.
Let us never waste day,
Let US always forward be,
Or some other duck will take
Myrtle to the matinee. -iSonuet MediH.

TIGHT BREECHEs.

Adolphus wore his breeches tight;
Of this he did not think
When he put ON the roller skates
To show off at the rink.
His first adventure was his last,
He'll put on skates no more;
He tried to kick the roof all in,
And set down on the floor.
When Dolphy dropped the girls all laughed
1t was an awful fall
And when they had their backs all turned
He backed up to the wall.
He called friend, took off the skates,
And, giving him the wink,
Said, "Jim, lend me that long tailed coat,
[ want to leave the rink"

SALOON LICENSE BILL.

Captain 81. A. Parker, chairman of the
license committee OF the House of repre-
sentatives. states that the Harper bin was
voted down in the committee at the request
of Mr.. Harper himself, because it had
been found that it was virtually a prohib-
ition or temperance essay. Captain Par
ker submitted the draft of bill by him
self, which provided for license of $500
for all saloons, and last Friday it was
considered in committee. A majority of
the committee reported the bill. aud the
House agreed to consider the bill next
Thursday, eleven democrats voting for the
consideration. The passage of the bill
will require majority of all the members.
If the democrats oppose the bill as a party
measure its passage is doubtful. If the
House passes the bill, the senate will con
cur without any trouble.
