HE SAW HIS FATHER.

Father, he began, after taking the
old man out back of the barn, your
years are many.
Yes, my son.
You have toiled early and late,
and by the sweat of your brow you
have amassed this big farm.
That's so, William.
1t has panied me more than I can
tell to see you, at your age troubling
Yourself with the cares of life. Fa-
ther, your declining days should be
spent in the old armchair in the
chimney corner.
Yes, William, they should.
Now, father. being you are old and
helpless, give me deed of the farm
and you and mother live out your few
remaining days with me and Sally.
William, said the old man, as he
pushed back his sleeves, L think L
can see the drift O. them remarks.
When Pm ready to start for the
poorhouse I'll play fool and hand
over the deed, William!
Yes, sir.
In order to dispel any delusion on
your part that | am old and feeble
and helpless, / am going to knock
down half an acre of corn-stalks with
your heels.
And when the convention finally
adjourned William crawled to the
nearest hay stack and cautiously
whispered to himself:

A NOBLE ACT.

A beautiful story illustrative of
some of the finest traits of Christian
character belongs to the family of
Sergeant Granville, of England. The
sergeant had two sons, and unfor-
tunately the elder, on whom it was
hoped the estate might be conferred,
was fast liver, and he promised
soon to squander in waste and riot
the property of which he was utterly
unworthy. AS neither entreaty no
threatenings sufficed to bring about
reformation, the father at last, in
self-defence, settled the Inheritance on
the younger brother, who was of a
more tractable disposition After
the good fathers death the youthful
renegade sat down to mediate on
his folly: he grew melancholy, but
at length, perceiving that he had
forfeited an earthly estate, he deter
mined to lay hold on a better inheri-
tance IN heaven. The elder brother
beheld the change with admiration,
the evidences of its reality being
quite convincing. Soon afterwards
the friends of the family were invited
to great feast. at which the rejoic-
ings suddenly took an unexpected
turn. A dish was placed before the
elder brother, and this on being un-
covered was found to hold pile of
deeds transferring the whole of his
property into his possession. The
younger intimated that in SO acting
he had only done what their father
would have done, had he lived to see
the blessedness of the change they
themselves were privileged to wit
ness.

WHAT A WRITER THINKS OF
SOCIETY.

"Society regulates collectively the
morals of its members.
In society there is no friendship.
These people are in aid to you SO
long as they face you; let them turn
their backs and you are in the dark
Society never forgives you if you
disappoint it in its estimate of you.
There is nothing society is more
willing to do than condone, particu-
larly where the sinner has no need of
active partisanship.
He could say thank you with the
infection that made the commonplace
like the condensation of sonnet.
He could put on glove with such
grace that the woman who saw
him would have kissed his hand.
There won't be smile given you
tonight that the person giving it does
not count on gaining percentage
for the amiability shown.
He's like sentiment of Byron en-
dodied in the most perfect shape a
man can take.
The court paid him was merely a
supercilious condescension which
| wealth and birth sometimes amuse
themselves by lavishing on wit and
parts.
Self-interest he had found 70 be
the key of human action.
The world doesn't give its whole
heart 10 the ravisher of it's favors.
He was sensitive to the proprie-
ties as only those are who take on re-
finement through extraneous teach
ings.
A self-made man, he secretly ador-
ed the conditions and hereditaments
that no genius, no efforts can attain.
He worshiped money, and painted
for the precedence it gives in new
society, where character is slow in
| producing its due influence.
The spear of truth is singularly
blunt before the armor of egotlsnl
and habit engendered by social rival
ries and human frailty.

THE DANGER OF CONTAGION
IN THROAT TROUBLES.

The medical editor of Babyhood
writes: A recent case came within
our knowledge, in which fatal diph-
liberia developed upon what had been
believed to be fatal quinsy, sug-
gests few words regarding the duty
of isolating any case of sore throat
where there are other children in the
house. Without entering upon any
disputed points regarding diphtheria,
1t is generally agreed that the dis
tinctive visible sign of it is its pecul-
lar membraneous deposit. A case
may present clearly the conditions of
common sore throat" and subse-
quently diphtheria be unmistakably
present. For our purpose it is un-
necessary TO discuss whether such
cases are diphtheritic from the first
or become SO. The point for parents
to know is that the sequence of dan
gerous symptoms upon those appar-
emily slight IS not uncommon, and
that it is better for them to isolate a
child fifty times unnecessarily than
to be neglected once. We would
urge, then, that if at all possible,
that every child suffering from sore
throat be isolated until it is distinct
lively convalescent. Physicians are
often embarrassed, in urging the iso-
lation of patients, by the timidity or
suspiciousness Of parents. If in such
case as has been described the ply
sician recommends the precaution of
isolation, the family, if of the timid
type, is at once thrown into a panic,
assuming that the physician really
considers that the case is diphtheria
or that he expects it will prove to be,
and that he is concealing the facts,
when really he is only taking proper
sanitary precautions. Other persons
on the other hand, Immediately in
terpret the physicians frank state
ment of his reasons for isolating a
supposed simple case as an evidence
of want of knowledge on his part.
They apparently think that TO the
properly educated physician diseases
are as distinct and as easily discrim-
mated as coins of different denomin-
ations. With such people the only
course is to strongly advise isolation,
and to give the reason for it, and to
let them take the responsibility of
neglecting the suggestion if they
choose to do so. Intelligent people
usually are grateful for the warning
even if it prove to have been unnec-
essary, and although they sometimes
chaff the physician as "fussy."

THE CLEAN NEWSPAPER.

There is a growing feeling in healthy
communities against journals which
make it their special object to minis
ter to a perverted taste by seeking
out and serving up in seductive
form disgusting and licentious reve-
lations. There is good reason to be-
lieve that the clean newspaper is
more highly priced to-day than it
was four or five years ago. 1t is also
safe to predict that, as people in all
ranks of life protect their own, at
least, from contamination, become
more conscious of the pernicious in
fluence of a certain class of journals,
called enterprising because they are
ambitious to serve up dirty scandals,
they will be careful to see that the
journals they permit to be read in the
family circle are the class that never
forget the proprieties of life. AL
ready men and women of refinement
and healthy morals have had their at
tention called to the pernicious in
fuence of bad literature, and have
made commendable efforts to count
eract the same by causing sound lit
erature to be published and sold at
popular prices. These efforts are
working a silent but sure revolution.
The best authors are more generally
read to-day than at any previous
date. The sickly, sentimental story
paper, and the wild ranger and pi-
rate story books are slowly but sure
ly yielding the field to worthier
claimants. To the praise of decent
newspaper 1t may be said that where
it has place in the family, and has
been read for years by young as well
as old, 1t has developed such healthy
tone and such discriminating taste
| that the life-nature of the slums has
no admirers. Fortunately, the num-
| Der of such families is increasing in
the land, aud as they increase the
| journal that deyotes itself to sicken-
ing revelations of immortality will be
compelled to find its supporters SOLE
ly among those classes who practice
| vice and crime, or are ambitious to
learn to follow such ways.-Printer's s

Autumn Leaves

Who cares to think of autumn leaves IN spring?
When the birds sing,
And buds are new, and every tree isseen
Yelled in = mist of tender gradual green;
And every boie and bough
Makes ready for the soft, low brooding wings
Ofnested ones to settle there, and prove
How sweet is love-
Alas who then will notice avow
Such bygone things?
For hath not spring the promise of the year?
Is she not always dear
To those who can look forward and forget?
Her woods do nurse the violet;
With cowslips fair her fragrant fields are set;
And freckled butterflies
Clean in her cleaning skies;
And life looks larger, as each lengthening day
Wthdraws the shadow and drinks up the tear.
Youth shall be youth forever; and the gay,
High-hearted summer with her pomps is near.
Yes; but the soul that meditates and grieves,
And guards a precious past,
And feels that neither joy nor oveliness last,
To her the fcrvid futter of onr spring
Is like the warmth of that barbarian hall
To the scared bird, whose wet and wearied win
Shot through it once, and came not back at all
Poor shrunken SOUL She knows her fate too well
Too surely she can tell
That each most delicate toy her fancy made,
And she herself, and what she priced and knew,
And all her loved ones, too,
Shall soon lie low, forgotten and decayed,
Like autumn leaves.

Eyes, certainly" agreed madame
graciously, sslet the officer he shown
into the boudoil.'' .
Into the boudoir presently came
the Countess, stately, beautiful, fur
clad, huttoning her gloves. Near the
door stood a short, wiry-looking man,
with very keen black eyes, closely
cropped hair. and compact, erect mil
itary figure. The small man clicked
his heels together and bowed pro-
foundly in the presence of so much
high loveliness, while he said
with the utmost respect, at the same
time laying letter upon the table:
81 am sent by an order of the Chef
de Police to inform Madame la Com
tesse that the stolen diamond has
been satisfactorily traced, but there
is unfortunately some little difficulty
connected with its Identification. l
am charged, therefore, to beg that
Madame la Comtesse will have the
ring to the police for short period,
in order that it may be compared
with the one found in the possession
of the suspected thief. Madame la
Comtesse will find that the letter
bring corroborates my statement.
The Countess glanced hastily thro'
the letter, and ringing the bell desir-
ed that her maid might he told to
bring the remaining earring immedi-
ately; this was done, and the dapper
little man bowing deferentially, de-
parted with the precious duplicate
safely in his possession.
The Countess descended to her
sledge, and drove to the club to call
for her husband en- route for the Bois
Crossing the Place de la Concorde
she related to him the latest incident
in the story of the diamond earring
'You never were induced to give
up the other!'' cried the Count Ivan
off, incredulously.
''But l tell you, mon ami, an Of
ficer of the police came himself to
fetch it; bringing a letter from his
superior vouching for the truth OF
his statement"

husband. "However, for the SECOND

The coachman turned and drove a:

which the Count had lodged his com
plant the night before. After {
somewhat protracted delay the Coun
joined his wife with semi-grim lool
of amusement upon his handsome
hirsute face.
''The police knew nothing of you

he said, drawing the fur rug up t.

away merrily over the frozen snow
