you ask for it, my boy?"
1.-The melon is the last l have, sir /;
and though it looks very fair there is
an unsound spot in it," said the boy,
turning it over.
$50 there is said the man; Il
think [ will not take it. But" he
added, is it very business-like to
point out the defects of your fruit to
customers %
cit is better than being dishonest,
sir said the boy, modestly.
"You are right, my little fellow !;
always remember that principle,
and you will find favor with God and
man also. l shall remember your
stand in future. Are these fresh
fsh?' he continued, turning to Ben
Wilson's stand.
Eyes, sir; fresh this morning. l
caught them myself" was the reply,
and purchase being made, the gen
tleman went away.
"Harry, what fool you were to
show the gentleman the spot on the
melon. Now you can take it home
for your pains, or throw it away.
How much wiser is he about the fish
l caught yesterday? l sold them for
the same price that / did the fresh
ones. He would never have looked
at the melon until he had gone
away
Il would not tell lie or act one
either, for twice what / have earned
this morning. Besides, | shall be
better off in the end, for | have gain
ed a customer and you have lost
one."
And so it proved, for the next day
the gentleman bought nearly all his
fruit and vegetables of Harry, but
never spent another penny at the
stand of his neighbor.

THE UNSOUND MELON.

Two country lads came at an early
hour to market town, and, having
arranged their stands, sat down to
wait for, customers. One was fur
nished with fruits and vegetables Of
the boys own raising, and the other
supplied with fish. The market
hours passed along and each little
merchant saw with pleasure his store
steadily decreasing and its equiva-
lent in silver bits shining in his mon
ey-cup. The last melon lay on Har-
RVS stand, when a gentleman came
by, and placing his hand upon it
said:
"What a fine melon! What d.

vanlshes away; 1t is hower of the
field that to-day is, and to morrow is
not; it is to-day that has no claim
upon tomorrow it is block upon
which to raise an everlasting founda-
ton it is Gods gift, to be used in
His service, to be withdrawn at His
pleasure. And between life and
death there is only one step.
When the soldiers were pressing on
to the battle of Gettysburg through
the field of grain, as they neared its
outline they knew that between life
and death, defeat and victory there
was only one step.
A little child receiving its first les
son in walking, fe ar full to fall, with
its eye fixed upon Its parents out
stretched arms, does not attempt to
clear the space at bound, but takes
just step at time until it reaches
place of salty.
If you have long journey to ac-
complsh, tire some journey ovel
which you are discouraged, and ag-
onize to come to the end, be your
haste ever so great, run or walk as
you will, you can only take one step
before you try next one.
The Christian life is all made up of
little things, links of a chain that
draws US to God; to-days and
yesterdays that prepare US for
the morrows if we may have them.
The journey is often di fficult, some
of the paths are full of thorns, sharp
stones are und er the feet, dark clouds
are overhead, and the way is so
hedged in by straits and difficulties
that the tired feet stumble, and the
weary soul becomes faint, and one is
fain to cry out, s'Lord, save me or I
perish; )" but above the roar of the
tempest, above the din of the horrid
confusion there comes Git may be at
the hour of midnight,) the still small
voice of the Saviour, "Why are we
fearful, o ye of little faith? It is L,
be not afraid -
But there are paths which are
strewn with flowers, where the
sky above is always fair, where toll
comes not, where sickness and sor-
row are unknown, where to wish for
is all that is needed to have, where
trials never come. and heaven seems
easy to gain. And that Is the path
that you would choose. But the same
gentle voice that rebuked the want of
faith on the part of the disciples says
to you if you learn to hear it, "My
son, despise not thou the Christening
of the Lord, neither faint when thou
art rebuked of him: for whom the
Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scour-
geth every son whom he receiveth. %
And as an Amen to it there come
these words, "'These are they which
came out of great tribulation, and
have washed their robes, and made
them white in the blood of the Lamb.
He that overcometh shall inherit all
things; and l will be mis- God and he
shall be my son.
To inherit all these promises, to
be of the immense multitude who
shall sing prases to our God through
all eternity, and there is only one
thing more to do-do you know what
it is?

Three Million women on Salaries.

St. Louis Republican.
Mr.. Il. p. Mitchell, one of the best-in-
formed men on labor statistics in st. Louis,
has been devoting considerable time the last
few weeks to the question of female en-
ployment. In conversation yesterday with
Republican reporter, lie said:
The number of women engaged in other
than household occupations in the United
States is probably much larger than is gen.
orally supposed. and with its ever-growing
proportions, both from natural increase of
population and the continued crowding of
the great army still seeking employ
ment into new channels, not before
appropriated by women. may we'll Gre
ate desire to be better informed IN re-
gard to their numbers and the conditions
under which they perform their daily tasks.
The National Bureaus of Education and
Labor have recognized this, and are pre-
pairing to make an exhaustive investigation
of this subject during the ensuing year. A
careful estimate places the total number of
women thus employed on July 1, 1886, at
5000. 600. and Of these 600, 600 are agricut-
ural labOrers, mainly in the cotton fields of
the South: $40. 900 are employed in the
manufactures of various kinds; while
$50, 900 in the laundres of our country in
sist that the Chinese must go: $50, 900 are
millners and 1000 find employment as
dressmakers; 60, 900 earn their bread in the
tailor shops and $4,000 are saleswomen,
teachers, telegraph operators, type-writists.
bookkeepers, typesetters and nurses, and
many other occupations find small numbers
livelihood. There are in round numbers
1850 female physicians in the United
States The conditions under which these
5000 perform their labor is exceedingly
varied. for while many employees pay due
regard to their health and comfort, many
others give heed to nothing but the profit to
be made, and, although some classes of
female labor are honorable exceptions, the
majority are shamefully treated and miser-
ably paid. and it is to be hoped that a
thorough ventilation of the subject by the
bureau will result in benefting the working
women of our land, for surely the oppor-
tunity is there"

that the conditions were not favorable.
