WILLING To OBLIGE.-A good-n ma
tured miner was on his first trip to San
Francisco, with lot of gold dust for
sale. SO long as he had business on
hand he attended to nothing else :;
but his dust once sold, he felt at lib
erty.
He took bath. got shaved, bought
q suit Of store clothes and billed
shirt, registered at first class hotel,
dressed, and then he started out for a
good time.
As he lett the hotel door he met,
standing there, stranger with a
pleasant face, who nodded cheeriully
to him.
Why, how do YOU do?" exclaimed
the miner, grasping his hand with a
tight squeeze. I'm desperate glad
to see you. Been looking for YOU
some time, stranger. Let's have
drink"
The stranger politely expressed his
thanks, but declined.
A puzzled look spread over the
miner face, then one of wrath, and
analiy one OF unmistakable sorrow.
Under the latter mood he burst forth:
For Heavens sake, stranger, don't
do me that way. I've Just started out
for = flyer, and / don want to kill a
man IN the first hour"
The stranger reflected a moment.
and responded, quietly:
well, l am minister of the Cos
pei, aud do not drink; but if YOU
feel that way about it, l guess l will
take glass OF soda water"
1t WAS fixed up on that bssis.

Think all you speak;
But speak not all you think,
Your Thoughts are yours;

Your cords are 40 no more.
4 word Is very little thing; but
is capable of great effects either for
good or for evil. A few bitter CORDS |
spoken in anger may rankle for life.
time, while q few kind words may
win friend who will never turn from
you. Hard words chill the heart and
drive to desperation; kind words may
change the whole current Of human
life for the better.
Sometimes you arise in the morn
ing feeling decidedly ill-Datursd and
"snapPish," and a feeling as though
you cannot bear that anyone shall
speak to you. And if anyone be
courageous enough to address you,
and you give way to your feelings,
few hard words will soon have every
one in the house feeling as uncom-
Portable as yourself.
And aching hearts go ON their way;
And toll throughout dreary day;
Disheartened, sad and lorn."
While, if you can manage to speak
kindly. your own ill feeling will soon
disappear,
And all day long tie sun shines bright,
The cares Of life are made more light,
and you wonder how you could have
felt SO ill.humored.
a few words that read few days
ago struck me veiy forcibly: Hard
words are like hailstones in summer,
beating down and destroying what
they would nourish if melted into
drops" II we would bear these words
in mind, | think the "hailstones'
would be more apt to be melted.
Then quite often We may hurt our
friends feelings by speaking words
that, il We had thought twice before
speaking. We would rather have Bit
ten our tongues oil than to have said.
But word once gone can never be
recalled. and all our after apologizing
will be unavailing to soothe their
wounded feelings. Thomas Hood says:
"Evil is wrought by want Of thought
a. we'll as want OF heart" Let us be
very careful to keep our thinking
caps on. Friends are too few aud too
precious to be lost by want of thought.
Speak kindly of people or not
speak at all, for it is terrible thing
to rob person of that most precious
OF all treasures, a good name.
If We have Misunderstanding with
our friends, let us keep them to our
selves, and not by few injudicious
and unkind words to a third person
widen the breach until it can never be
bridged.
When one is in trouble, friendly
hand-pressure and few kinds words
of sympathy Tighten the burden won
dcrfully.
Then let US not be chary of our kind
words, speak them whenever we can,
opportunities will not be wanting.
They cost so little and are worth so
much, and in trying to make others
happy, one has the satisfaction of ma
king at least one happy-himself.
All bitter words with thee
M want nor pain compares.
oh pleasant words and sunny smiles
Your hidden power our grief beguiles
And drives away our cares :"

ECHOES FROM BABYLANG.-Georsie
was visiting at his aunts. A jar Of
preserves had effected a mysterious
disappearance during the night, and
the fact was mentioned at the break
fast table next morning. Denials of
guilt came from every side, but it was
noticed that this particular youngster
was silent. And what have you to
say, George" finally said his aunt,
turning towards MIN.
And then very honestly and solemn
ly came the response: MY pa don't
allow me to talk at the table"
A little girl who held with genuine
orthodoxy to the infantIle theory of
what prayer is for, prayed thus the
other night:
20 Lord, | want a white rabbit"
She waited for a while for develop
ments, ami then repeated her prayer
a little more energetically:
30 Lord, want a white rabbit"
Another pause for developments,
with unsatisfactory results, and then
q vigorous outburst:
20 Lord, want white rabbit and
| want it now"
A little girl who had been told
that when it was laundering it was
God talking. was out on the lawn one
day not long ago playing with her
dolls. Her mother, seeing a storm
coming up, calling to little Alice to
hurry and come in. She began pick
ing up her plsythings. but before she
got them all it Numbered, when she
exclaimed:
"Oh, bod. don't raise such a fuss
and scold SO. I'm hurrylng as fas' as
| can"

"Ah, that's it," said the old legis-

in his mouth and turned the wheel.

internal idiot might be.
