HE KNOWETH BEST.

Sometimes, when all life's lessons have been
learned.
And sun and stars forever shall be set.
The things which our weak Judgment here has
spurned,
The things DER which we grieved with lashes
wet,
VIII flash before us, out of Life's dark light,
As stars shine most in deeper tints of blue;
And we shall see how all Gods plans were
right,
And how, what seemed reproof, was love
most true.
And if sometimes, eommingling with life's
We find the NORWOOD, and rebel and
shrink,
Be sure Il wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours out this portion for our lips to drink;
And ifsome friend we love is lyingIow.
Where human kisses can not reach his face,
Oh, do not blame the loving Fatherso,
But wear your sorrow with obedient grace.
breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends His friend,
And that sometimes the sable pail of death
Conceals the faircst bloom His love can
send.
If we could push aiar the gates of life,
And stand within, and all Gods working
see,
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find Il key.
But not to-day. Then be content, poor heart!
Gods plans, like lilies, pure and white, I'M

We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart
Time will reveal the calyxes of gold.

CURED OF DRINKING.

d. r. Locke, better known as Petro-
leum Y. Nasty, tells a reporter of the De-
troit Free Press how he came to leave off
drinking, which he did absolutely eigb-
teen months ago. He had been a hard
drinker for thirty years. Up to about the

reasonable days work every day, but at
this time he was pretty well used up. APP
plieation to his duties was beyond his pow
er. He would lie abed until eleven O'Clock
and then contemplate his boots half an
hour at time without enough energy to
pull them ON. He would drink four or
five WHISTLES before breakfast and take
another nip at that meal, which consisted Of
soft-boiled eggs. One day the business
manager of his newspaper came to him and
said that twenty per cent. OF the subserip-
lions to the weekly would expire in a
week. and it was necessary for him to fur
nish two or three serial stories. som Mas

which to brighten up the sheet lest the
dropping off should be permanent. Locke
promised the matter should be ready at an
appointed day, bnt he could not bring him.

came around he had not prepared a line.
As he lay abed. realizing what a miserable

surprise, he was able to eat a small piece
of porter-house steak, which he had not
done before at breakfast in twenty years.
At noon he ate a fair lunch and at night a
well mans dinner. In three days coffee
began to taste good, and solid food had a
delicious flavor. The better condition to

days about four o'clock in the afternoon he
feels a deep depression, not SO much for
the want of a nip as because he is tired
with work. The natural impulse then is
to drink, but he beats it down without
great effort. and in a little while it passes.
He is absolutely certain that il he took

BOB ~BURDETTE'S ADVICE.

Bob Burdette gives the following season
able advice to the young men:
My boy, this is about the time of the
year when you swear off" 1t is an an
nual custom. Usually it lasts about as
long as the oath you take. Now | want
you to listen to me:
Don't swear off. In heavens name,
don't swear off.
Just quit. Without oath, resolution or
promise. Simply quit. If you have a
young mans weakness for wine, beer or
whisky, as the railroad man says, shut
her off, Simply quit it. Stop it. Leave
it off.
There is no trouble about it. Let me
tell you. there is no harm in whisky. 1t
does not and it cannot hurt you if You do
not drink it. That's all You have to do.
Don't be a ''fanatic." Don't be a ''re-
former Don't be a ''prohibitionist lu-
matte" Just simply don't drink, and all
the whisky in America can't make you
drunk if you don't drink any of it. Whisky
never yet hurt a man who didn't drink it.
Do you know, my boy, there never was a
man in America who drank whisky because
he liked it? l don't believe there ever was
such a man. He drinks for good fellow
ship; for good company; because other
men drink with him.
SO, my boy, begin this year by being
yourself. Be a man. Love honor and
honesty and truth because their own sake is
pure and w~hite-souled Don't be honest
because the mean, sneaking old adage says
''Honesty is the best policy" Honesty isn't
the best policy, my boy. 1t isn't any kind
of policy at all. If you can't be honest be-
cause you hate a lie; if you can't be honest
because you love honesty for its OWL pure
sake: don't be honest. Be a rascal.
That's what you're cut ont for. The
man who is honest just because he thinks
Honesty is the best policy" is a man
whom you car trust, just as long as you
can clinch your fingers in his throat.
Honesty isn't a''policy' my boy, it is a
principle. So, be honest with yourself, be
true to yourself, and as the new year opens,
make your good resolutions quietly, softly,
only between yourself and the God who
knows and hears you. Be honest with
the world, and the dear. wicked, dissipated
loving old world will be true to You.

Poo little thing | meant to make
you happy" he said. standing there
quietly.
But from Lily's sobbing breath he
certainly could not guess how very
happy his mere presence made her; and
the reason he evinced no surprise at the
very singular fact of a young lady sit
ting alone in II lonesome coachhouse,
in her fathers carriage, on a cold No
vember evening, was because he had
long observed Lord Luther's goings and
comings-and when he saw the little
figure flying out of the house directly after
that gentleman's admittance. he guessed
somewhat at the truth, and determined to
strike while the iron was hot. IF Lily
would not listen to Lord Luther, perhaps
she would to him.
'sYour father dislikes me, Lily, but |
don't know why. A mere matter of a star
or button, | think, in my fathers day.
Surely l am not to blame. | am an honest
man. l have something of wealth and po-
sition, and I love you dearly. Surely you
do not dislike me Lily?"
A little white hand stole out from under
the overcoat and was received in his; and
then Launt Winslow went on more hope
fully with his loye-making.
And the clock struck eight, and nine,
and ten, while they talked, exchanging
mutual condolences so sweetly that the mo-
ment flew, Lily's silver syllables, and
even musical laugh, at last mingling with
his own eager and earnest u%tterances.
The time flew with them but not so with
Peter Boscobel.
He came in directly after Lord Luther,
and found the latter alone.
Then the search for Lily commenced.
All through the rich rooms, at the next
door, over the way. Lily could not be
found in the neighborhood.
Long before, Lord Luther had departed,
much offended.
As the time passed, Peter Boseobel grew
distracted. Lily's absence spoke as never
her presence had done. He has been cruel;
he had driven his child away.
1t was past lit was nearly midnight
when he was walking the floor of the long
drawing room like a crazy man.
Meanwhile, Launt Winslow had just
said
Il suppose that swell has gone. Lily. I
should be happy to pace here. ike a senti-
mel, all night, and watch over your slum-
lor, Sc ,.., wieb 20 eIaan ON +hoea n,-ebia1u
under my overcoat; but an afraid you
will take cold; and you will have to face
your father some time
'sYou will take cold. How selfish l
ami said Lily, descending from the ba-
rouche and trying to restore the garment
to him.
But the result was that she only got
clasped to his breast for one sweet instant.
Then he tucked her little hand under his
arm, and marched into her father.
Il have brought Lily back. We are en-
gagged to be married. And | shall not al
low you to scold her too much for running
away from Lord Luther LaWton Langley"
he said, boldly.
The man of iron, who had never been
bent, was broken.
Don't run away from your father again,
Lily" he said. 'You may marry whom
you please.

That was five years ago. Lily rides in
that carriage to-day, with her husband and
two darling children.
