HELP YoURsELF.-Learn to help
yourself, and you will enjoy perfect
independence. Men who can defy
adverse circumstances, and can
earn living in any quarter Of the
world in which they are dropped
down; who can roll up these sleeves
and set to work at almost any
thing that offers and who even
sew on their own buttons, and
make themselves cup of tea when
deprived of help of womenkind, are
the ones who are really independent.
The most helpful women are kind
est; and as for a man, never trnst
him in any capacity if he has not
with in him the true spirit Of lnde-
pendence, without which neither
strength nor sweetness may be
hoped for. In the battle Of life
there is but one way to succeed
fight it out yourself.

HOME! SWEET HOME!

Where? When the dear old
mother runs from her arm chair
with smile to greet you.
Where the true hearted father
claps you in a warm hearty grasp.
Where the bright faces that cluster
around you are full of happy re-
membranes, and every heart
throbs in unison with your life and
labor.
Where, when the bustles and hur.
ry and strife of living are over,
the weary hands and aching
heart can lie down a while; lie down
and wait a little and look into the
far off Celestial City, just beyond
the billows that touch our feet.
Where some one will miss US when
we've crossed to the other shore,
and loving eyes will look wistfully
through the surges and the mist that
lies between them and US, and their
love will bear us on almost to the
portal where Heavenly messengers
wait.
God pity the poor wanderer WHO
can never know the joy of this earth
ly resting place.
This little glimpse of heaven to
the heart so long a stranger to the
tender accents which fall from lov-
ing lips, or the gentle touch of faith
er's, mothers or sisters hand with
the warmest solicitude smooths our
way into the valley of the shadow
ofdeath.
Poor stranger who in a far off
land, amid sickness, poverty and
want, can only dream of the home
he may never reach. Uncared for,
unloved, alone. Alone save the
sweet administering of Gods an
gels, who come to the beggar, the
hungry, the sick, the homeless, the
outcast of the earth, who take them
in all their poverty Of body and
soul, far within the pearly gates
that enclose the Fathers mansions

The OLD MANS RESoRT.-An
old chap who lived up in Vermont
in the years gone by was left piece
Of land containing about twenty
acres by the death Of some relatives.
1t was valued at about 5000, and
about the first thing the old man
did was to raise S24 on a mortgage.
When this money was gone he put
on a second for the same amount
and by-and-by he found third in
dividual willing to lend him SIS
and take a mortgage. The last OF
his money had just disappeared
when the old man fell and broke
his leg. The person who first reach.
ed him called out:
":Poor Uncle Billy What will you
do now?"
"Is my leg broker"
Certainly it is.''
"And I'm a cripple?'
You are
"Well,' said The old man, as a
look Of resignation came to his
face, Il reckon I'll slap on another
mortgage .''-WaU Street Neacs.

LIFTED BURDENS.
BY JEROME b. BELL.

''We cannot bear the crosses Of our
friends"
All, no, dear love, but thou hast lifted
mine;
The sweet words fall upon my heart
like Wine
Upon parched lips-a benson di-
vine.
''We cannot bear the crosses of our
friends.''
Yet for the truth Of this, my OWN,
grieye not;
Thy coming" in my life but changed
my lot
For better, and of evil brought no
iot.
''We cannot bear the crosses of our
friends"
But with sweet words of sympathy,
my dove.
You light my lonely life till far above
The power of pain my soul scars en-
thy love.
I'VE cannot bear the crosses Of our
friends"
Oh, would might bear thine, my
dearest friend,
'Tis bitterness to know my grief
should trend
Upon thy tender heart, its peace to
rend.
"We cannot bear the crosses of our
friends"
But meath the warmth of thy pure
love, so true,
My burdens lift as lifts the morning
dew
Oh, love, in lifting mine, may thine
be lifted, too.

TERMS CASH.
L DIET vgCTIM REDUCED To
CgSTERN WATER AND
CHEWING GUM.

The Galveston News man thus
relates his experience:
About year ago we had discard
ed every thing that We thought was
dangerous to the health, when we
were startled on learning that syrup
was adulterated with nitric acid,
and that miasma lurked in the dead
ly folds of the boarding house bat
ter cake. Figures were given to
show that the dreadful batter cake
was spreading, and prophecies were
made that it would eventually ruin
the constitution Of the strongest de-
votees and reduce the nation to a
vast hospital Of fapjack invalids;
so the batter cake was scratched
off our list of edible fruits and next
went the Goldfish ball, because it
was said to produce cold feet.
Then We learned that the sad faced
and cohesive biscuit was q synonym
of indigestion, and the unostenta-
tious kraut but a name for rheuma-
tism, so the biscuit and kraut had
to go; then we found out that cas-.
tor oil contained the germs of in.
gostatic molecules, whatever that IS
and we were, therefore, forced to
give up the use Of that hilarious
medical beverage. This thing
went on until we had cut off every.
thing from our bill of fare but cis-
tern water and chewing gum, and
we found ourselves no stronger or
healtier than when we were hasten
ing to the tomb from the effects Of
gorging ourselves with heavy line
of assorted poisons three or four
times day. About this time a
man came along with magic Ian
ter and showing us that every drop
Of cistern water contained an aqua
rum of hideous marine monsters
with wiggling tails, and druggist
told US that the habit of gum chew
ing was a fruitful source ofcanccr.
Next thing we did was to swear off
being an inferna fool on the diet
question, and now we eat any thing
and every thing that our teeth will
masticate or our palate commend,
and we can work ten hours a day
and see to read small print with out
spectacles.

SEE HERE, BOYG.

Just wait a minute until l talk
to you for little while. I know
all about you, every one Of you,
! and that is why l want to speak.
know the old saying that "boys
will be boys no matter what comes
and goes, and l wouldn't have them
to be anything else for they are
dear with all there faults. But
there are few things in which they
might improve, generally speaking.
One Of the main faults is lack of
consideration for the feelings, love
and tenderness Of our mothers.
Think of the sacred relation which
you bear to her alone of all the
world; you owe everything to her
loving patience and care. Think
of the weary days of helpless infan,
cy, when she cradled you upon her
warm bosom, sang away your baby
griefs and pains, watching every
breath you drew to guard you from
sickness and danger. Then the
period of learning you to talk and
walk, the launching of your little
bark upon the great tide of human
ity. She steered you clear of
breakers and quicksands until you
had learned to paddle your own
canoe. Even the commonest moth.
ers have done this, but many have
wrought the work with prayer and
hope for your noble youth and
manhood.
What return are you making her
for ali this? Do you ever wound
her sensitive soul by unkindness,
by disobedience, short answers,
seeking bad company, or any of the
countless ways in which you may
plant thorn in her heart? Better
you had never opened your baby
eyes upon the light Of this lovely
world. Think how soon the day
will come, even at the longest, when
this best and truest friend will be
taken from you. Then, indeed, as
the years multiply and you learn
the hypocrisy and falseness of the
world, you will know what a price
less treasure you have lost.
Some one has said, and truly,
that 1.-The boy will tramp thirty or
forty miles in one day on a rabbit
hunt and be fresh and timber in the
evening, but if you ask him to cross
the street and borrow Jones two
inch augur, he will be as stiff as a
meat block. And he llgo swimming
all day and standing in the water
three hours at time, and splash
and dive and paddle, but if his SIS
ter asks him to wash his face he
takes it as an insult. And he'll
wander around and cut initials in
every bridge for miles, but will
nearly die if asked to cut a little
kindling. And he'll turn a ten
acre lot upside down for fishing
worms, but looks disconsolate at
the request to spade up the onion
bed" Now all this is true, lamen-
ably so, yet We love the boy, and
his whistling music, for we knew
that the day will come when he will
be a careworn man with no fountain
of fun in his nature. But you who
have mothers, from this day forth
resolve to do everything in your
power to save them a heartache.
You do not know how they lie in
bed and listen for your coming
when you are out late, and now many
mornings their cheeks are pale from
the vigil. 1t is the fashion to sneer
at the old woman who prays and
watches over your welfare. See
that you try to repay her in some
measure for all that she has wrought
and suffered for your sake.-Mrs.
d. N. Jooudan, In Carl Pretzels'
Weekly.

ETHBL'S HUSBAND,

y y Ethel Vane was a young beauty
aighteen-a beauty of the most
raetesnt blonde type, with eyes that
seemcse Ike liquid wells of blue
light, waSSs9air Of spun gold, and
a complexion like a freshly-opened
oleander. She had a neat little
fortune in her own right, and she
had q very clear and well-defned
idea of doing what she pleased with
it. Miss Eudocia Eames was a mid
dle-aged second cousin, who had
more gentility than income, and
who eked out the latter by acting
in the capacity of chaperon and
companion to the saucy beauty, Civ
ing advice which Ethel never took,
and ohjecting on principle to every
gentleman whom Ethel fancied.
But one day Miss Vane entered
her relative'spresence with very rosy
