Spend Wisely.

Look most to your spending. no
matter what comes in, if more goes out
you will always be poor. The art is
not in making money, but in keeping
it. Little expenses, like mice in barn,
when they are many, make great
waste. Hair by hair heads get bald I;
straw by straw the thatch goes off the
cottage; and drop by drop the rain
comes into the chamber. A barrel is
soon empty if the tap leaks but single
drop a minute. In all things keep
within compass. Never stretch your
legs farther than the blanket will reach
or you will soon be cold. In clothes
choose suitable and lasting stuff, and
not tawdry fineries. To be comforta-
BILE is the main thing; never mind the
looks. A fool may make money, but
it needs a wise man to spend it. Re-
member, it is easier to build two Chin
neys than to keep one going. If you
give all to back and board, nothing is
left for the savings bank. Fare hard
and work hard while you are young,
and you have chance to rest when old.

The Little Old Woman.

There's little old woman lives over the way,
In gambrel-roofed cottage unpainted and gray,
And where the brown grape vine is climbing
across,
The shingles are covered with patches of moss.
By the wood ire-side, in the Winter she sits
In ist-bottomed rocker, and sing as she knits
In quavering voice with tremuous Groom,
And the click of her needles keeps time to the tune
Her Bible she reads, slowly turning the leaves,
And she garners bright grain from the beautiful
sheaves;
And the tears dim her eyes, as she lifts them high
In search of her treasure laid up in the sky.
In her best Sunday gown, whether ailing or well,
She trots to her meeting at sound of the bell,
And she sits in her pew like a wren on perch,
This little gray dame in Puritan Church.
Our very old people remember, they think,
When her hair was as glossy and black as a mink, !,
And her cheeks red as roses, her teeth white as
pearls,
And this little old woman the fairest of girls.
She had a dear lover, alack and a day
A sailor who sailed from the beautiful bay
And the Summers may blush, and the Winters
pale,
But their sun never shines on his homecoming
sail.
At little round table from over the sea,
She sits at the sunset and pours out her tea,
And the delicate cup and its saucer are white
As floating pond lily, just kissed by the light.
And ship under sail, with its flag at the mast,
All laden with memories brought from the past,
Is painted upon them as life-like and fair
AS the mirage that floats in the orient air.
His ship that he sailed in, his sweetheart to wed,
By others forgotten-the sunset grows red
But the little old woman just murmurs prayer,
And smiles as she knows that her lover is there
But day will come when the lilac's perfume
Through the half-open window will float through
the room,
And the house will be quiet and she be at rest,
With a single white rose on her motionless breast.
And the angles will come with their glittering
wings,
While the parson he prays, and the choir it sings,
And bear to the home that is fairer than day
The little old woman from over the way.
The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1885-04-04

She, herself, thought it little thing,
the heroine of the story we heard one
day in distant city. She was pros
porous woman. Her husband had won
fame and fortune, and was a power in
the country, and she who had shared
his troubles shared his triumphs, and
was one of the social magnates in the
city in which she lived.
She had dealt often at a store where
one of the departments was in charge
of a delicate and refined woman, in
whom, through long dealing with her,
our friend had become sincerely inter-
ested.
One day she went to make a purchase
at this store, and the young woman
came forward to serve her. But our
heroine-for she was really heroine as
you will see-was shocked at the change
few weeks had wrought.
A sudden chill, a neglected cold,
days of unremitting labor, and some
thing that seemed like swift consump-
ton had set it. The lady thought it a
case for her interference. She asked
the history of the malady, and then
said:
you must not stay here any longer.
1t will be death if you do. You must
go home and be nursed.'
The dark, sad eyes of the saleswoman
met hers with mild surprise in them.
my home is in Washington, she an
swered. Here | live in a boarding
house and | am really more comfort
able in the store than in my small room.
Besides, madam, my weekly living is
dependent upon my weekly work
She had spoken uncomplainingly;
simply stating the hard facts in answer
to the inquiries whose unexpected kind
ness had beguiled her from her habitual
reserve.
Our heroine considered for a moment
whether this was not work God had
appointed for her to 40. She had left
her luxurious country home, and was
living for the winter in a furnished
house-a small, pretty house, which
was filled by her little family, and had
no spare room. But yet
Il shall come for you tomorrow
she said. 4 shall arrange here for
your absence. l am going to take you
to my house and nurse you
your The saleswoman's eyes filled
first with hope and then with tears.
Then she tried to refuse this too-great
kindness, but her weak protests were
overruled.
The next day she was taken out of
her task-work,-taken home to Mrs.
Blanks comfortable house, installed in
Mrs. Blanks comfortable bed, and
there for six weeks was nursed and
tended like some beloved sister, until
she was able to take up her burden of
life again.
'It was so lovely of you,' friend
said to the lady who had wrought this
good work.
ooh, no was the answer, Il made no
sacrifice. My husband was in Wash
ington, or l could not have given up
our bed; but am such good sleeper
that my sleeping for few weeks on
sofa was nothing
And it really seemed to her that she
had done nothing at all; but one day
will not the Voice we wait for, say to
her, Il was sick and We comforted me ?

Quench Nosthe spirit.

The good that is within thee never lose,
For worldly honor is an empty name,
And binding are the lights that lead men on
While climbing boldly to the heights of fame,
The good that is within then, let it speak
The still, small voice of conscience, ever true
Which, like the precious pearl that divers seek,
Is eloquent in silence, hid from view.
The good that is within thee, let it shine,
For riches may take wings and fly away.
On "sordid dress" feed not thy soul divine,
That God-sent gift will starve on glided clay
Quench not the spirits light that inward burns
To warn thee of the pitfalls and the snares;
True wisdom by that clear light slowly learns
How riches may bring curses unawares.
The good that is within thee is star,
God-sent to guide thee through the darkest
night;
ITS rays more steadfast shine than those afar
That tremble Ger the grandest mountain height
Ills may o'ertake thee, and the cold world frown
False friends forsake thee in thine utmost need
Hope shall not fail thee, nor thy heart bow down,
If thine own conscience doth approve thy deed.

~Let's cross the street and meet
that fellow again, said man to COM
panion with whom he was walking.
'Why didn't you speak just now if
YOU have business with him?'
Il have no business with him.
'Then why do you wish to meet him
again7'
well, you see used to owe him, and
in consequence, would avoid meeting
him. Recently I paid him up and now
| like to meet him. It's like Mark
Twain's story of the boy who found a
dime. He kept throwing it out in front
of him to find it again. Come on, l
want to meet him. 1 wish l had moth
ing to do but too meet him all day.

Keeping the Boys on the Farm.

In treating of the home-life of the
farm nothing is more common than the
complaint that the best and brightest
of the youth manifest an unwillingness
to follow the occupation of their fathers
and 60 off to swell the population of
the towns and cities. Probably this
tendency has been exaggerated, for we
are sure the young farmers of to-day are
as intelligent and progressive in their
views as any generation past. But this
could not be fit were true, as repre-
sented, that the best element had gone
to the towns. The statement has sufi-
cient warrant, nevertheless, to merit
serious consideration.
The question is, whether in the sur
roundings and appointments of farm
life sufficient allowance is made for the
natural wants and tendencies of the
young. Is there sufficient pains taken
to render the surroundings attractive,
and to furnish a reasonable amount of
that diversion from regular pursuits
which the youthful nature demands7
No doubt very many are led away
from the quiet walks of country life by
an unhealthy craving for change and
excitement, stimulated in many cases
by pernicious reading and rose-colored
descriptions of town-life. Others with
better reasons have been impelled to
abandon the occupation of their fathers
by that system of drudgery and dull
routine too often in practice on the
farm, and under which young, sprightly
and elastic spirits feel that they are un-
necessarily repressed and circumscrib-
ed. Without going over ground on
this subject that has been repeatedly
traversed by others, we may say that
in order to keep the boys on the farm
everything should be done within
sonable limits, that means and cir
stances will permit, to cause tFs
feel and believe that the pursuit e 2
riculture is as honorable and enn
as any they may choose; that it
as many opportunities as any other
the cultivation of mind and heart, all
for the development of the best and
noblest tendencies of their natures.
They should be made to feel that, if
they SO desire, they may keep abreast
of the times and be 'up with the world
in the best sense of the phrase, even
though they live outside the busy haunts
of men. They should be led to look
upon agriculture not as pursuit gov
erned by chance laws, where there is
no opportunity for introducing new
methods, and systems, for research, ex-
pertinent and progress, but that no de-
partment of human effort to-day offers
a wider and more promising field for
careful study and research than that of
agriculture. Let them learn also that
with less means than would be required
in the cities they may have tasteful and
convenient homes, and live to as high
and useful purposes US they may in any
| place on earth.
