THE WIFE.
An Humble and Responsible Position.
Which Has its Joys as Well as Its Hard
cl.i.,a and TrinlS

An Humble and Responsible Position,
Which Has its Joys as Well as Its Hard
ships and Trials.
3 We scarcely see q religious paper
nowadays which does not make allusion
to the hardshipe of ministers wives.
Indeed, they have their trials. They
have not only to look after the congre-
CATION, but the minister. The pastors
wife has to be the friendly critic of the
husbands sermon and of its delivery.
If the preacher goes home with the
suspicion that he has made a dead fail
ure in his discourse, she has to per-
suade him that it was not as bad rs he
supposed; that he will yet hear of good
done by it; that his weakest efforts may
sometimes result in a great harvest;
that she liked it better this time than
when he preached it in the other settle
ments, etc. She is to stand between
him and the door-bell; suppress I'M
pleasant things brought to the house
by pestiferous gossips, tear up insult
ing anonymous letters, and often on a
small salary navigate a household
around the Cape Horn of large expense.
But oh, the Joys of being a minister's
wife! Is she not generally the pet of
the congregation? If she have culture
and disposition she will have more at
tention shown her than any other lady
in the neighborhood receives. She is
sought after, bowed to and consulted on
all subjects. She has an open door to
all the confidence of the people. In a
word, no one has 80 fair a chance as
she. She may sometimes complain
about the hardships of her station, but
she is really SC well satisfied with her
place that she would not exchange with
any n else. We can think of no
position more desirable than that of a
minister's wife, except that Of a minis
ter. Irials-of course. What women
are without them? Ever since Eve was
down sick from eating too many har-
vest apples, woman has had troubles;
but the parsonage is not the favorite
place for their co~ngregating. The mer-
REST we have seen, all up and down the
land, are ministers companions. We
congratulate the parsonages of Christen-
dom!-Dr. z'almuge. ~ Frank Leslie's

THEY HAD NO EJUSDEM.

The Trouble Caused a Patient by a Ply
stefan Who Didn't Use English.
Some years ago (of course such a
thing could not happen now a gentle
man residing at the South End, in Bos-
ton, was furnished by his medical ad-
wiser with a prescription containing
among other ingredients the following:
syr. scilla. half ounce.
Tincture Ejusdem, ounce.
With this recipe he went to the near
est a~pothecary. 81 car not put up
that medicine for you," said the apothe-
cary. l have all the ingredients but
one. l have no tincture Of ejusdem."
The gentleman went to the next drug
store. Its proprietor said: Il can not
fill that recipe. l should as soon think
of undertaking to compound the ptisan
of K~enilworth's blacksmith. Tincture
ejusdem! Who ever heard of t%incture
ejusdem?" Disappointed at shop after
shop, the gentleman reached the we'll
known stand of the late DR.. B., at the
North End. Without making any re-
mark the doctor proceeded to weigh or
measure the various ingredients called
for. "What?" exclaimed the gentle
man, ''have you got 'tincture ejusdem?'
| have seer to fifty shops, more or less,
but not one of them had it; and some
pharmacists even averred they had
9 heard of it." '"The recipe"
quietly remarked DR.. B., calls for half
an n of syrup of squills and n
ounce OF the tincture of the same"
''Then why didn't he write 'tincture Of
the same instead of that stupid Tine.
Ejusdem?' Here l have walked from
home a mile and a half, and shall have
to return the 'ejusdem' distance be-
cause the doctor didn't write plain
English. "-Hinks and Helps.

Gems of Thought.

II you are moving onward, some
things must be left behind. What are
the things which are left behind in your
life?
The progress in sin is always rap-
idly from bad to worse, The only secur-
ity lies in making a stand against the
beginnings of evil.
1t may serve as a comfort to us in
all u calamities and Affections that he
that loses anything and get wisdom by
it is a gamer by the loss.
Patience strengthens the spirit,
sweetens the temper, STILES anger, ex-
tinguishes envy, subdues pride; she
brides the tongue, refrains the hand,
and tramples upon temptations
Horne.
Though God has promised always to
guide His inquiring children in the way
that is right, He has nowhere promised
to make this way now seem right to
their friends or neighbors, or even to
Observation-Disclosures.
Every individual has the broadest
opportunity to better his condition
through industry and wise economy.
He who wastes his time and earnings
aimlessly can not expect to rise; his
own acts rivet him to a lower position.
Good men have tried the Bible; in
youth and in old age; in sickness and
in health; in business and at home; in
life and in death. Lawyers have tried
it; statesmen have tried it.; society has
tried it in its charities, its education
and its laws; but it is not worn out; it
is not affected; it Is ever young and
never old; it is the Lords book; we
need no other; the longer it is tried the
more satisfactory it is proved the word
of the Lord, which abideth forever
DR.. John Hall.
Bear with each others faults.
Love one another and help one another.
Pity each other. Boar each others
burdens. We are all moving on a great
march, vaster assembly than ever
moved through the Wilderness of old
and when we stand revealed to Him,
and He to us, and we to each other, We
shall look back with unspeakable sor-
row at the jars, and the discords and
the uncharities of this mortal life; and
for every sweet kindness. for every low
ing helpfulness. for every patience, and
for every self-denih or s%elf-sAcriice We
shall lift up thanks to Almighty Cod
Exchange.

SABBATH-DAY READING.
SOMETIME.

| sometime, when all life's lessons have beer
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
Will flash before us, out of Life's dark night
As stars shine most in deeper tints of blue;
And we shall sec how all Gods plans were
right,
And how, what seemed reproof, was love
most true.
And if sometimes, commingling with lifc's
We find the wornwood, and rebel and
shrink,
Be sure a wiser hand than yours or mine
PourS out this portion for our lips to drink;
And if some friend we love is lying low,
Where human kisses can not reach his face,
Oh. do not blame the loving Father so,
But wear your sorrow with obedient grace!
And you shall shortly know that heightened
breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends His
friend.
And that sometimes the sable pail Of death
Conceals the fairest bloom His love can
send.
If we could push aiar tho gates of life,
And stand within, and all Gods working
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find a key.
But not to-day. Then be content, poor heart!
Gods plans, like lilies, pure and white, un-
fold:
We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart;
Time will reveal the calyXcs of gold.
And if through patient toll we reach the land
Where tired feet with sandals loose may
Where we shall clearly know and understand,
I think that we will say God knoweth
best"

Pose for Artists.
Here in London where I am writing,
there are several hundred people whose
business it is to sit for artists. Some of
them, who are particularly beautiful,
are engaged every day in the year, and
may earn from a dollar and a half to
two dollars a day. They must keep
still for hours, and often stand or kneel
in tiresome positions. However, the
models generally take a great interest
in the pictures they sit for, and like to
do their best for the artists who en-
ploy them.
Among the models are some very lit
tie children, who began to sit when
they were mere babies. 1 have often
wished that some rich children could
see how patient these little ones can be,
when they understand that they are
earning money to buy food and clothes.
have tried for days to pursuade a fine
little boy, in smart silk stockings and
fine shoes, to keep his feet still long
enough for me to paint them.
When | find that a child can not sit
quietly to have his dress painted, [ send
Tor George Mum. He is very proud
to put on the beautiful stockings and
shoes. | make a chalk mark on the
throne where his little feet should 20,
and he will keep carefully on the mark.
He has a few minutes for rest at inter-
walls during each hour, and a long rest
at dinner time; but he will keep very
quiet while we are working, and
will not move without leave. He
is a very little boy, SO his mother keeps
her arm around him to steady him,
and talks to him in a whisper without
disturbing me. She teaches him to
count, or to sing little songs, or to
spell. Every now and then he tries to
guess what there will be for dinner.
With SO good a boy to help me, l can
paint very quickly; and when little
Master Restless come next day to
sit for his portrait, he is surprised to
see the dress quite tinished.-Anna Lea

A STRANGE ATTACHMENT.
The Love a Chinaman Bore for q Little
Baby Girl.

The Love a Chinaman Bore for a Little
Baby Girl.
In Alaska street, on the r of a
narrow alley below Sixth, there is a
dingy laundry, with the name of ''Wah
Kee" painted in flaming letters on a
crazy sign above the door. This is
where Wah Kee lives and works and
spends his lonely life.
The house across the alley is just as
old, and the roof is just as crazy, and
the folks that live there are justas poor
and lonely rs poor Wah.
That's where Tot lived. Everybody
knew Tot. Tots clothes were old, and
Tots face was wan, but somehow the
soul of the little n crept into the
heart of the lonely Chinaman, and Wah
KEGS eyes beamed as they never
beamed before.
SO he would stand by the door and
look across the alley at Tot and smile.
and Tot would patter across the little
ocean of dirt and water, and clasoing
her chubby hands around Wah KEGS
legs, look up into his face and coo.
Tots folks chided the little one--for
they hated the sight of 'sthe hay.hen,"
as they called Tots friend.
One day Tot stayed away and Wah
Kee looked in vain for the baby. An
other day passed and then Wan KEGS
face grew sad and his heart heavy, and
he shambled across the narrow alley
and begged Tot folks to tell him where
Tot vas.
They told him she was sick, that it
would be many days before Tot would
be about.
So Wah went back to his dingy shop
and rolled up his sleeves and went to
work again, but his head was heavy
and his heart was across the alley in
the little house where Tot lay ill.
One day Wah Kee looked over the
way to the little house and his heart
gave a great leap, for there, pressed
against the window, was the face of
wee Tot-white and wan, but smiling.
And Wah Kee dropped his iron and
ran across the pavement and stood by
the window.
Tots voice was weak and Tot might
not have the window up, for it wa
cold and damp, but Wah Kee stood
outside and talked in pantomime and
Tot, punching her fists against the
murky pane, laughed with glce.
So every day Tot was propped up in
the window and Wah Kee stood in the
shop and looked at the little face and
sighed.
Sometimes when Wah KEGS country
men came to see him theylaughed, and
Hop Long and Lee Yeo and Wong
Sing Lung chided him for the strange
love he bore the baby, but Wah Kee
only shook his head and answered:
"Wah Kee has no one else. Tot is
Wah KEGS baby"
But Tot died, and yesterday they
buried her. There were only two car
riages-thcre was one for Tot and the
father and mother of the dead baby
and Wah had a carriage, and, all alone,
in the silence of the tight-closed cab,
he rode and gcieved for the sunny face
and prattling nonsense of the child he
had %worshipped with all the devotion
of his pagan faith.
They buried her at Fernwood in a
little grave in q little plot almost as
small, and Wah Kee stood by the grave
and cried, and the great tears streamed
down his face, and, dropping upon the
grave, kissed the place where Tot-or
all that was left of her-slept in
silence.-Phdadclphi0 Meas.
