Samson, Rachel's professor, whom knew
very well after he retired from the stage,
had a very low opinion of her intellect and
called her parfaite grue. He admitted
that she vibrated under the effect of an
emotion or impression like vessel OF flint
glass when it is struck. Every time unless
during the brief period when he and she
had fallen OUT she went ON the stage she
had been previously coached by Samson.
He often said to her: "What do the words
OF your part expressl Try and enter well
into their meaning" She humbly sub

strategic knowledge.

day when | was on the old farm in
Ohio, my father taught me valuable
lesson in strategy.

"WelI,- father took me into the

dow is pretty high for a boy, but

"WelI, my boy, if you will do it
this morning, I'll give you this bright
silver dollar" said my father, pat

the silver dollar before my eyes.
"Good, says /; 'I'll try," and
went to work. ! tugged and pulled,
and lifted, and puffed, and finally it
was done, and father gave me the
silver dollar, saying:

Probably there is not the remotest
corner or little inlet OF the minute
blood vessels of the body that does
not feel some wavelet from the great
CONFUSION produced by hearty laugh
ter shaking the central man. The
blood moves more Iively-probably
it's chemical, electric or vital condi-
ton is distinctly modified-it con-
veys a different impression to all the
organs of the body, as it visits them
on that particular mystic journey,
when the man is laughing, from what
it does not at other times. And thus
it is that good laugh lengthens
mans life by conveying distinct
and additional stimulus to the vital
forces. The time may come when
physicians attending more closely than
they do now, to the innumerable
subtle influences which the soul ex-
erts upon its tenement of clay, shall
prescribe to the torpid patient $50
many peals of laughter, to be under
gone at such and such time, just as
they do that for more Objectionable
prescriptions-a pill, or an electric
or galvanie shock.

When Mr.. Widgeon came home
the other evening the first thing he
said to his esteemed wife was: Mary,

She glared at him with an express
sion that set his teeth on edge as she
cried:

make sweet old Knight of Labor!
Why, Mary, it's noble organiza-
ton and

with eloquence about the horny hand

want you to understand, John
Henry, that you have joined enough

bearer of the Knights of Gambrinus,

At the Last.

A little one played among the flowers,
In the blush and bloom of summer hours,
She twined the buds in garland fair,
And bound them up in her shining hair.
"Ah me-" said she, show happy I'll be
When ten years more have gone over me
And am a maiden, with youths bright glow,
Flushing my cheek and lighting my brow!'
A maiden mused in pleasant room,
Where the air was filed with soft perfume;
Vases were near of antique mould,
Beautiful pictures rare and old,
And she, of all the loveliness there,
Was by far the loveliest and NEST fair.
"Ah mel' sighed she, show happy I'll be
When my hearts true love comes home to me;
Light of my life, my spirits pride,
1 count the days till thou reach my side.'
A mother bent over a cradle nest,
Where she soothed her babe to his smiling rest
"Sleep WE'LL" she murmured soft and low,
And she pressed her kisses on his brow.
ooh, child, sweet child! how happy I'll be
If the good God lets thee stay with me
Till later on, in life's evening hour,
Thy strength shall be my strength and tower"
An aged one sat by the glowing hearth,
Almost ready to leave the earth;
Feeble and frail, the race she had run
Had borne her along to the setting sun.
"Ah me!'' sighed she, in an undertone,
How happy I'll be when life is done!
When the world fades out with its weary strife,
And I soar away to a better life"
IT'S thus we journey from youth to age,
Longing to turn to another page,
Striving to hasten the years away,
Lighting our hearts with the future ray;
Hoping in earth till its visions fade,
Wishing and waiting through sun and shade;
Turning, when earth's last tie is riven,
To the beautiful rest that remains in heaven.

Mothers Way.

Oft within our little cottage,
As the shadows gently fall,
While the sunlight slightly touches
One sweet face upon the wall
Do we gather close together,
And in hushed and tender tone
Ask each others full forgiveness
For the wrong that each has done.
Should you wonder why this custom
At the ending of the day,
Eye and voice would quickly answer,
"It was once our mothers way"
If our home be bright and CHEEKY,
If it holds welcome true,
Opening wide its door of greeting
To the many-not the few;
five share our Fathers bounty
With the needy, day by day,
IT'S because our hearts remember
This was ever mothers way.
Sometimes when our hands grow weary,
Or our tasks seem very long;
When our burdens look too heavy,
When we deem the right all wrong
Then we gain anew fresh courage,
And we rise to proudly say,
"Let us do our duty bravely,
This was our dear mothers way.''
Thus we keep her memory precious,
While we never cease to pray
That at last, when lengthening shadows
Mark the evening of our day,
They may find us waiting calmly
To go home our mothers way.
