Push.

If there was more push in the world
there would be fewer hungry, half
clothed, homeless, suffering children;
fewer broken>down, dissipated men
and women less need of almshouses,
houses of correction and homes for the
triendless.
Push means lift for neighbor in
trouble. Push means lift for yours
self out of the slough of dependency
and shiftlessness, out of trouble, real
or fancied. Push never hurts any body.
The harder the push the better, if it is
given in the right direction. Always
push down~hill. Don't be afraid of
your mucles and sinews; they were
given you to use. Don't be afraid of
your hands; they were meant for SER
vice. Don't be afraid of what your
companions may say. Don't be afraid
of your conscience it will never re>
proach for good deed-but push with
all your heart, might and soul, when.
ever you see anything or anybody that
will be better for good, long strong,
determined push.
Push 1t is just the word for the
grand, clear morning of life; it is just
the word for strong arms and young
hearts; it is just the word for a world
that is as full of work as this is. II
anybody is in trouble, and you see it,
don't stand back, push.
If there is anything good being dout
in any place where you happen to be,

on the way.
But never mind this. 1t is better
to "skip and break )" better to close
your feet" now and then, setting
down sooner or later to a steady trot,
than never to be hitched out double
for the heat of life; much better, and
don't you forget it.
One last word. DON'T count on be-
ing considered "hero" by your wife
all through your married career, for
you won't be Sc considered. The
glamour with which her eyes invest
ed you, when love was young, will
wear off in time, and she will see you
in your true colors-those of an ordi-
nary mortal, with no tints heroic
toning you up. But, after all, the
heroic, as generally viewed, is not a
necessary factor in matrimonial life.
If you are heroic enough to do the
best you can, as the husband and the
head, for the wife and for the home,
that will be all sufficient. And if
you so conduct yourself that your
wife may say in her heart, or openly,
"My husband isn't great but he is
gOodw you will receive the best
compliment that a wife can pay her
husband, and number yourselfamong
the happiest on earth.

our advice and views in regard to

Preaching to Lunatics.

there was no preaching in the asylum
in that city, sought the opportunity
to dispose he was gospel there. At
his first service he was very much
grati6ed to observe the close attention
that one of the patients gave to his
sermon, and he went away and told
some of his friends that he had found
a very hopeful field of labor in the
asylum, which had been neglected too
long.
The next Sunday he noticed the same
intent expression on the face of bis
hopeful listener. Again, the next Sun
day, the man gave eager attention. In
the sermon the old story had been re.
lated about Hindoo women casting their
children into the GangeS. The minister
sought an opportunity at the close Of
the service for a personal conversation
with his eager listener. The patient
grasped his hand warmly, and said, q

CRISP SPRINGS.
Some of the Beauties of a Well Known
Tennessee Resort.

CRISP SPRINGS, May 6.-COming to
this beautiful summer retreat before
the crowd which always summers be-
meath its shades, one has better OPP
pOrtunity to take in and admire the
many beauties which nature has be-
slowed upon it. The verdure which
crowns our vallew land just now, has
scarcely appeared here yet. The trees
are yet leafless, and only a short,
green turf underfoot whispers the
coming of spring-not even a birds
voice to break the silence; nothing
which makes other places of a lower
plane attractive at this season. And
yet there are fewer, if any, lovelier
places today than Crisp. Its very
loneliness is beautiful; its barrenness
picturesque.
The approach to the hotel is per-
haps (unless we except the shabby
depot the only unattractive thing
one finds. One can scarcely judge the
entire surroundings by their first inn
preston. At Crisp, however, first
impressions may applyin other cases.
The hotel proper is situated on a high
bluff overlooking the river. A deep
ravine separates this bluff from a Sec
ond, and on this neat little cottages
peep at the little stream singing far
below.
A rustic foot bridge crosses the
ravine, then winding down, through
laurel and ivy, spans the stream, a
neat, romantic and beautiful cross

A Healthy NeighbOrhOOd.

Mr.. Tip Harrison, who never told a

lation of the following, illustrating the
healthfulness of certain section of
North Carolina.
A man was passing along the road
one day and saw an old fellow over in
q collard patch hoeing collards and
"boo-hooing" like baby, as his trem-
bling form moved about among the
vegetables.
"Say, there what's the matter ?"
asked the stranger. "What're ye
cryin' about?'
The old man wiped off his eye on his
shirt sleeve and answered.:
"My-pa-whooped-me-e."
The stranger proceeded to the house
and found still older man, of whom
he asked the cause for the "whooped"
mans tears.
"You want ter know what's the mat
ter with that boy? 1 whooped him

The Latest Napoleonic Ideas.

An amiable gentleman, who appears
to have enjoyed the confidence of the
late emperor and CT the prince imperial,
has recently been publishing his rem
iniscences of conversations held with
the unlucky son of Napoleon III.
These articles are from an imperialist
point OF view supposed to be highly
important, but people who scarcely
sympathized with the methods of the
second empire think them quite alb
surd. The author, in his report of an
interview with the prince imperial,
shortly before his departure for South
Africa, states the manner in which the
prince proposed to govern, if he sue
ceeded in getting upon the throne of
France. He desired to have q cham
Der of peers, composed of the great
property owners, the magistrates, the
chief dignitaries of the church, and
the heads of the army. He would not,
he said, have the great manufacturers
or commercial men in that chamber,
because they were not social forces.
AS to the literary and artistic classes,
he thought that they could not be exi
pected to be called into the councils Of
the country. AS for the press he an
nounced his firm opinion that it could
be entirely bought up, and said that he
would not allow, as his father had al
lowed, discussion of government mat
tiers. All the journalists, he said,
would be bought by interest. eff 1

The Confession of NapoIeon's Wife.

Marie Louise was sitting one evening
with Lady Burghersh, when the con-
versation turned upon Napoleon, to
whom the former said she had certainly
believed herself much attached, and
was SO, having been dazzled by his
military glory and the greatness of his
situation on the imperial throne, etc.
Lady Burghersb then asked if she
had not kept up correspondence with
him during the time of his residence in
Elba. She answered: "Yes; I GER
tainly carried on such correspondence
to much greater extent than was ever
suspected. "Then why said Lady
Burghersh, did you not join him dur
ing the hundred days?" The answer,
al could not was made. On being
further pressed as to the obstacles
which prevented this, Marie Louise
answered only shat it was impossible"
but at last ended by stating that being
with child by another man was the in
vincible reason that prevented il. That
man the Empress married Immediately
on the death Of Napoleon, having had
two children by him previously and
two subsequent to their marriage.
Marie Louise was living with him when
this conversation took place.
