There Shall be no Alps.

When Napoleon talked of invading Italy
one of his officers said: "But, sire, re-
member the Alps" To an ordinary man
these would have seemed simply insur-
mountable, but Napoleon responded eager
ly: "There shall be no Alps" So the IA
nous Simplon pass was made. Disease,

might be healed and so the mountain would

A Cautious Lover.

John Shorger has been paying
marked attention to Miss De Smythe,
one of the bellies of Texarkana. He
has come very rear proposing several
times, but did not dare to risk it for
fear she might refuse to amalgamate.
He got around it very nicely, however.

He said:
miss De Smythe, if there is any
thing in the world l dislike it is to
have young lady refuse me. 1 wish
you would tell me if you would say
yes, in case l were to ask your hand
in marriage"
She suggested that he try it, but he
thought he had better wait awhile I'M

THE PITY OF 1T.

Parents Should Make Their ChIldren's
Lives Larger and Better, and Children
Should Honor Their Parents.
Education is certainly good thing,
and it is good thing in parents to pass
toilsome days in order to give the best
training in their power to the children
whose special providence they are
meant to be. And yet-and yet!
An intelligent girl of our acquaint-
ance half wished, not long since, when
she came home from the boarding
school in which she had been we'll
trained in all the "ologies," that she
did not know the English language any
better than her parents.
'If he haint got nothin' of his own"
were the words she heard. How they
Jared upon her ear! They made her
hot and cold at once. Had her fathers
language always been as bad as this?
OF course it must have been, only she
did not notice it before those years at
boarding-school, during which she had
made friends with the Queens English.
'If he haint got nothin' of his own"
her father was saying, with reference
to young man who aspired to be his
son-in-law.
HE has, at least good education"
Margaret suggested, with some spirit.
Eyes, yes, but eddication amt all.
I've known college-learnt men that had
hard pullin' to get their bread and but
ter. But eff you like him, Peggy, why,
haint worked all my life without get
tin somethin' ahead to help you along,
eff pinch comes"
Margaret's heart reproached her
then. She looked at the two true
hearted old people who were her
parents, and who sat there before her.
Yes, that was what they had been do
ing all their lives. They might have
read and have given time and have be-
come more intelligent-only they had
chosen this other thing; chosen to work
for her, that she might have what they
had lacked in their young days; that
she might be well taught, and weal
soft raiment, and keep her hands white
and shapely!
And she-she who had never sacri-
feed one thing for any body; who had
grown like a fruitless flower in the
warm sunshine-She, indeed, had beer
impatient with their verbs, and scorn
full of their double negatives, anC
secretly ashamed of them before hel
school-fellows,
Something seemed to choke her a
the thought, and with moistened eyes
she went up to them and tenderly kisseC
first one and then the other, and said
gently:
at shall be as you say, father. 1
you think Harry and l ought not t.
marry without more money, we vii
wait. 1t shall be just as you wish"
mo, | don't want that, he replied
81 guess you'll have your way now
you pretty much always have; bu
you're good girl, Peggy, and I'm will
in to please you.
And so he was; and it is right tina
parents should make life larger anC
better for tho children God has givel
them; but oh, the pity of it, when t.
grow in knowledge, must be to grow
away from home!
And yet il is better to be true-heart
ed and magnanimous and unselfish
than without these qualities, to have al
knowledge. Blessed is that child VIII

who possesses all knowledge: "Hono
