IRREsoLUmoN.-Irresolution is a
fatal habit it is not vicious in itself,
bat it leads to vice, creeping upon
its victims with a fatal facility, the
penalty of whrch many fine heart
has paid on the scafold. The idler,
the spendthrift, the epicure, and
the drunkard are among its victims.
Perhaps-in the latter its effect ap-
pears in the most hideous form. He
knows that the goblet he is ABOUT
to drain is poison, yet he swallows
il. He knows-for the example OF
thousands has painted it in glaring
colors-that it will deaden all his
faculties, take the strength from
his heart, Cypress him with disease,
and hurry his progress to dis
honored grave, yet he drains It.
How beautiful, on the contrary, IS
the power Of resolution, enabling
the one who possesses it to pass
through perils and dangers, trials
and temptations! Avoid the con
traction Of the habit OF irresolr
tion,. Strike sgtinst 1t TO ti1e end

a pair of boys beside whom even
Helen's Babies must have dwindled
and grown tame. Naughty, wilful,
mischievous, loving little scamps.
They were at times as soundly
thrashed as a rather soft-hearted

they would mind; but they ''wouldt

few pennies each day.
For some particular grievous Of
tense this was resorted to two or
three days before the Fourth OF July

Very early the next morning the

FROM THE he HI GIGGLE TO THE THOU.
SAND ACRE GUFFAW.
Brooklyn Eagle.

Brooklyn Eagle
There is the hearty laugh, the
convulsive laugh, the hehe laugh,
and the uproairous, almost-tumble
out of the chair laugh. There was
the laugh of Prince Hal, who was
said 10 laugh Till his face is like a
wet cloak-ill, lai up" There is
the incipient laug' which is not a
laugh but a nile. The late
Charles Backus, t. minstrel; who,
it will be Remembered, had q very
large mouth, was once having his
photograph taken. The operator
told him to look pleasant, to smile
little. The famous minstrel gave
an elaborate smile. "Oh, that
will never do! said the photograph
er, it's too wide for the instrument.
Speaking CT western actress
the reporter wrote: ':Her smile
opened out Ike the Yosemite valley
in a May morning" When Miss
Marie Wilton, the English actress,
played Hester Grazebrook in the
':Unequal Mat eh," her laugh was
said to be of the character that
first as it were looks out of the
eyes to see if the course was clear,
then steals down into a pretty dim
ple of the cheek and rides there in
an eddy for the while; then waltzes
at the corners of the mouth like a
thing oflife; then bursts its bonds
of beauty and fills The air for mo
meut with a shower of silver
tong ued echoes and then steals
back to its lair in the heart to
watch again for its prey" How
difFerel It from the kind of laugh of
Prince .Hoare, q friend of Hayden
the painter. This gentleman was
a delica te, feeble looking man,
with a timid expression of face,
and when he laughed heartily he
almost seemed to be crying.
It runs IN families sometimes to
distort the connteaAnce in laughter.
MIR. Labouche1e speaks of family
who laugh a great deal, and who
always shut their eyes when they
do so. It's fanny at the dinner
table, when souething' witty is said
to look around and see the same
distortion OF e7ery face. There is
not an eye left in. the laml!y. A
trio of sisters is spoken OF who
show half an inch of pale PINK
gums when they laugh. IN their
presence, like Wendell Holmes,
one s'never da.es to be as funny as
one can," for fear of seeing there
applauding tripe OF gums. a
laugh is sometimes only a sneer'
Diogenes, of tub notoriety, saw a
good deal ofthis kind of laughter
Some one said to hin, ''Many
people laugh at yorl." "But /.
he quickly remarked. Fam moi

BE MIGHTY PATIENT WITH
CHILDREN.
Bill Arp.

Parents and teachers ought to be
mighty patient with children.
Some have more capacity and some
more memory. Some are slow and
some are quick. tits not the smart
est child that makes the smartest
man or woman. It is a powerful
strain on some of 'em to keep up,
and the dull ones oughtn't to be
crowded until they hate books and
and dread the time of going to
school. Some folks send their
children to school to get rid Of 'em,
but my opinion is the parents
ought to help the teacher every
night. It shows the children how
much interest they feel in their ed
ucation. It is sign of q good
teacher when the children get am
bilious to keep up and get head
marks, and bring their books home
at night and want to go to school
if it is raining o little. Wrap 'em
up and let EN- go.
Thre is nothing that demoralizes
! school,boy like staying at home
every few days and getting behind
the class. We used to walk three
miles to school, and we never mind
ed If at all. 1t was a frolic all the
way there and all the way back
| and we did have the best dinner in
the world. Delmonico never has
as good things as our mother, used
| to fix up for us. 1t seems to me so
now. A childs life is full of TO.
nance and fun-the best sort Of
fun. A child's dreams are splen-
did, but we don't dream now, hard
W ever. I used to read Robinson
Crusoe and dream it all over again.
How I did long to be ship wrecked
on an island and raise monkeyi'
and goats and parrots.
Slow children are generally sure
children, but they don't show of
much. Daniel Webster was most
always foot in his class, bat when
he learned anything he never for:
got it. Some boys are wild and
restless and have no love of books,
but they oughtn't to be given up
hacked or abused continually. Il
they have good parents they will
come to themselves after awhile.
It is astonishing how humiliation
will follow boy. One time boy
stole quarter of dollar from
another boy at school, and tina!
followed him to his grave.
He got to be a great man and
was thirty years in congress and
was a SENATOR and one day when
he made bitter speech against the
corruption of the opposite party
and denounced their stealing and
plundering by wholesale, one o.
his opponents replied by saying he
would remind the gentleman thai
preachers of morality ehould come
into the pulpit with clean hands
that Ben Franklin said, "He thai
would steal a pin would steal a big
ger thing" and he asked no quar-
ter from the gentleman on thai
score.
So, boys, remember and keeE
your hands clean. Folks will for
give mischief and heap of othel
things, but they won't forgive mean
!. ness.

.Noble, chivalrous man = sneered
Grace, and then in a more friendly
tone she said: 'Fred, don't be
angry with me. VIII you do me
the favor Of telling my aunt that l
am going to the city and shall not
return until evening"
Fred felt that this was polite
dismissal and taking the hint, he
left the satirical young lady to
journey alone.
K * s
Late in the evening Grace Matt
land returned from New York to
her aunt's house at Monclair.
The shades were down and the
house seemed as though funeral
sadness reigned supreme.
"Where is Miss Leslie 2" asked
Grace as the servant girl opened
the door.
upstairs. Miss Grace"
Grace Maitland ran upstairs, but
on the landing was stopped by her
aunt, who with stern voice COM
manded her to be quiet.
"What is the matter aunt ? Did
not Fred tell you that l was gone
to New York %
'Yes !" answered Miss Leslie.
"And it is the last message he will
ever carry for you
''Oh, no, it is not p laughed the
girl; when he gets over his sulks he
will be all right
''Then he will have to rise out OF
his coffin
...What ?' Grace almost shrieked.
"Why you and your old lover
have killed him. Why do you
stand there I? Don't you know he
has been shot by old Jefries p
The girl staggered away from her
aunt, not knowing whether to be-
lieve her or not. for Miss Leslie
was given to exaggeration at times
On her way to her room, however,
Grace met one Of the servants com
ing out Of room with a sheet
rolled up in her arms. Stains OF
blood were distinctly seen on it.
Grace looked on the stains with be-
| wilderment, and with shrek which
could be heard half a mile away
fell to the floor in a dead faint.
| It was morning before she re-
gained consciousness, and then she
realized that Fred was the one she
loved-and he was dead. She
would go to him.
There could be no unmaidenly
| conduct in telling the poor dead
body how much she had loved him
Perhaps the spirit of. the dead
man would hear and know, and thai
| might be somc poor consolation.

THE STORY OF LIFE.

Say what is life? 'Tis to be born;
A helpless babe to greet the light
With sharp wall, as if the morn
Foretold cloudy noon and night;
To weep, to sleep, and weep again,
Wish sunny smiles between-and then?
And then apace the infant grows
To be a laughing, sprightly boy,
Happy, despite his little woes.
Were he but conscious Of his Joy!
To be, in short, from two to ten,
A merry, moody child and then?
And then in coat and trousers Clad
10 learn to say the decalogue,
And break it, an unthinking lad,
With mi1th and mischief all agog5
A truant oft by field and fen,
And capture butterfies-and then?
And then, increased in strength and
size,
To be, anon, youth full grown,
A hero in his mothers eyes,
A young Apollo in his own;
To initiate the ways OF men
In fashionable sin-aud then?
And then, at last, to be man, -
To fall in love, to WOO and wed
With seething brain to scheme and
plan
To gather gold or toll for breati;
TO sue for fame, with tongue and pen,
And gain or lose the prize-and then!
And then in gray and wrinkled OIL,
To mourn the speed OF life's decline !;
To praise the scenes our youth belield,
And dwell in memory of lang syne ;
To dream awhile with darkened ken,
To drop into his grave-and then?
