Sunbeam and Shadow.

We shrink from little sorrows,
By our weak hearts dismayed,
Hearken to the lessons taught US
By the Sunbeam and the Shade.
Came Sunbeam bright and golden
To the earth one summers day;
Bud and bird awoke rejoicing,
Basking in its living ray.
But where 'er the Sunbeam Travelled,
Over village, hill or dell,
With sad yet gracious presence
Its attendant Shadow fell.
Loud the people cried, ooh, Sunbeam,
Dear art thou to old and young,
But we will not have the Shadow
Der thy radiant pathway flung"
Silently the Shadow glided
From the bridge, from roof and stone,
But glory left the heaven,
For the Sunbeam too was gone.
Then they cried, "Come back, oh Sunbeam,
Cheer once more our longing sight;
Better 'twere to keep the shadow,
Than to lose thy living light"
And the Sun made answer truly
''Be it known to one and all,
Whereso'er the Sunbeam lighteth
Must the shadow likewise falln'

EVERY DAY THOUGHTS.

1t is the sunlight from the human
heart or from the world that renders
our lives happy. What sufiices
wealth, ease and daily intercourse
with friends, if we are discontented !?
Can we CLEAN peace from anger, OF
joy from bitterness of spirit?
God sends us ten thousand joys,
but we will not stretch out our hands
to grasp them; and yet we grieve
that our days are so inharnionious,
our hearts are continually going in
and out, as it were, of eclipse. Yes
terday jostles to-day and tomorrow
carries them both away captive. Our
mornings are spent in anticipating
the afternoons, and our afternoons
are spent in regretting our mornings.
May God make US more patient TO
live. More patience is what we need
to advance our happiness and the
happiness of those around us. We
all in a sense depend upon each other
for our happiness. Tenderness and
attention to the outbreak of a panied
heart will clear our way more fully,
and the feeling of wrong, desperation
and disquietude would be abated.
Nothing draws us so fully and ten
derly toward person as their inqnir
les after our welfare and our enjoy
ments. To know that our happiness
is studied by some unselfish Great
ure brings exquisite pleasure-if we
are not deformed by an ungrateful
selfishness.
This is not mere subject to dream
and write about; as our actions here
fix the nature of our enjoyment here
after.
1t is the sunlight from the human
heart that renders true happiness-it
is kind words and pleasant deeds
that make the world bright and glo-
riOus.
From the open portals of heaven
come charity, love and faith; with
these in our hearts we can diffuse
kind words and do noble deeds, and
from them CLEAN pure happiness.

BURDETTE ON PRoFANITY.-Yes,
we think you might class ''gosh-dum'
and sbad-bing" as profane swearing.
''Gaul-ding" may also be considered
swear word. ssDum-swizzled" is
another. All these words bear the
same relation to thoroughbred, sky
blue profanity that the pale-pink lem
onade Of the Sunday-school picnic
does to the raw whiskey of the target
company's excursion. They are the
outgrowth of a terrible struggle of a
theological compromise arranged by
our Puritan ancestors, who recogniz-
ed with a faultless spiritual vision
and worldly acumen the necessity of
pure life and a sinless vocabulary,
and at the same time the utter impos-
sibility of blowing New England
stone patch without class of words
designed to relieve the overburden-
ed mind and astonished feelings eve
ry time the plow handles broke a
mans riDs and extorted every last
drop of vital breath from his painting
body.

Lorraine's Reason.

IOrrd1n0S h0aSOu.
Lorraine has wonderful, lustrous eyes,
Clear as the depths of mountain lake,
Blue as the blue of morning skies
That frost and sunshine together make.
ssGive me those beautiful eyes," l said,
'Those merry blue eyes of yours, Lorraine!"
The sunbeams danced on the golden head,
While into the eyes crept look of pain.
81 tanti' the little maid said, at last,
Her mind all free from the sudden doubt,
AS over her lids her fingers passed.
"Dod put 'em in light, and 1 tant det 'em out"

Kinky- Haired Justice.
Arkansaw Traveller.

Old Nelse Patmore was elected Justice
of the peace. He could neither read nor
write, but his friends assured him that
such accomplishments were merely side
issues. One day Jack Maine sued the
commonwealth for false Imprisonment.
He employed excellent legal counsel
and every one thought he would surely
gain the case. When the case came up
for trial, the judge said:
Young man, de doc'ment says dat
yer wants damages fur false prison
ment."
"That is exactly what we want, yonr
honor" said Names lawyer.
"Uh, huh
"And we think, your honor, we are
entitled to five thousand dollars dam
ages"
"Uh, huh," handling his papers.
I'VE claim that Mr.. Names inlprison-
ment was false"
"Uh, huh"
"And we can prove it,"
"Uh, huh, Generlnen yer say dat de
mans 'prisonment was false"
"Yes, your honor"
"Uh, huh. He went to jail didn't hep

"Dat wasn't false, den. De 'cision o

time to explain" Here the Justice
grabbed piece of paper and pen upon
a desk near by, and began to write hur-
riedly.
"Shure, l will. have seen old BOYS
off on tear before, get out of money.
Trusht me, sor. Is it a twenty We want?
Here it is. Will ye have drop before
ye rum"
But before any further explanation
could be made, the Chief-Justice had
grabbed the money and was running
across the street. In some way the tick
et-seller had learned of his blunder dur
ing the Judges absence, and was all po-
literess when he saw the money. Mr..
Waite barely made the train, but he has
not had such shock to his dignity since
he went rpon the bench of the Supreme

Aphorisms of Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Memory is net. One finds it full of
fish when he takes it from the brook,
but dozen miles of water have run
through it without sticking.
God bless all good women. T. their
soft hands and pitying hearts we must
ali come at last.
Put not your trust in money, but put
your money i'll trust.
When strong brain Is weighed with
a true heart, it seems TO be like balanc-
ing bubble against wedge of gold,
Controversy eQualizes fools and wise
men in the same way and the fools
know il.
Ifthe sense of the ridiculous is on one
side of an irrepressible nature, it is very
well; but if that is all there is in man
he had better been an ape and stood
at the head of his profession at once.
Travellers change their luineas but not
their character.
There are three little wicks to the
lamp of mans life-brain, blood and
breath. Press the brain little, its light
goes out, folio we'd by both the others.
Stop the heart minute, and out goes all
three ofthe wicks. Choke the air out of
the lungs, and presently the fluid ceases
to supply the other centers of flame, and
all is soon stagnation, cold and darkness
There are good many real miseries
in life that we cannot help smiling at
but they are the smiles that make
wrinkles and not dimples.
We must have weak spot or two in a
character before we can love it much
People who do not laugh or cry or take
more of anything than is good for them
or use anything but dictionary words
are admirable subjects for biographers
But we don't care most for these fine
pattern flowers that press best in the
herbarium.
Faith always implies disbelief of q
lesser fact in favor OF a greater.

Justice wnlte's Dilemma.
Washington Special.

Having an imperative engagement in
Baltimore some time ago, ChiefJustice
Waite, of the Supreme Court, hurried to
the Baltimore and Ohio depot ten min
ntes before the train started As he was
about to purchase ticket, he discover
ed to his horror that he had only few
pennies in his pocket. He1ooked around
for friend, but finding none he resolv-
ed to use desperate measures. As he
reached the agent he smiled an awful
smile across the full width of his enor
nous mouth, and asked the agent if he
knew him.
"No, DON'T" snarled the agent "and
what is more, don't want to. What do
you want?"

The Chief-Justice glared. He could

been a real fraud, and he blushed and
