1t Cured Him.
Merchant TraUeler,

Some years ago certain Methodist
congregation in Chicago was presided
over by a minister who had held a pas
torate in Springfield, Ill. The preach
er was very good man, but he subject
ed himself to severe criticism by con-
stantly comparing his surroundings with
those in Springfield: Nothing was SO
nice as it was in Springfield; the church
was fine but not so fine as the Spring
field church; the congregation was zeal
Gus, but it was not the Springfield ZEAL
and so on, all the time, Springfield be-
ing perfected perfection. At last one
of the sisters hit upon what she thought
might prove remedy for her pastor,
SO at the next class she gave in her ex-
periences. Il have, said she, found
the path dark and rough, and at times
have been on the point of falling by the
wayside and giving up in despair. l
have felt that any earthly nature was un-
congenial with that heavenly one l have
been taught to seek in the closest asso-
citation, and there have been seasons
when l thought | should never be able
to reach that better land lying beyond
the Jordan; but brethren and sisters,
since our dear new pastor has come
among us, feel to rejoice that although
may fall short of attaining the heaven
ly kingdom, bless the Lord, l shall at
least reach Springfield The minister
tells the story on himself and acknowl-
edges that it cured him.

The Editors Little List.



AS some time it may happen that newspaper
you'll run,
I've got little list, I've got little list
Of the people that you ought in every way to
shun
And who never would be missed, who never
would be missed.
There's the man who calls you up dozen times
or more
By telephone, to ask you all about the baseball
score,
And who it was that made those famous double
And was it true that so-and-so went out on second
base?
And hundred other things of which you keep
no mental list
I don't think he'd be missed, I'm sure he'd not
be missed.
There's the constant letter-writer with griey
ance to relate
I've got him on the list, I've got him on the
list
And the one who asks you for some unimportant
date;
missed.
<rhe man who wants to know the distance to the
sun,
The year in which the building of the old ark
begun,
The color and the size of Queen Elzabeth's best
horse,
And whether Julius Cesar had Greek or Roman
nose;
should certainly incline to put them on the list,
For they never would be missed, they never would
be missed.
There's the man who comes and bores you in the
editorial-room-
I've got him on the list, I've got him on the
list
And argues that he was the first to start the
Cleveland boom;
He never would be missed, he never would be
missed.
The one who stops his paper, Gas its tone is far
from high"
But slips around the corner and gets it on the
sly;
And the lady with the diamonds, who thinks it
is shame
That although she is at Long Branch you never
print her name;
You can add them to the crowd, and put them on
the list,
For they never would be missed, they never would
be missed.
There's the poet who has written sonnet to
Sweet Spring
I've got him on the list I've got him on the
list
And the agent with circus that's on wheels the
biggest thing;
He never would be missed, he never would be
missed.
The man who thinks your giving by far too much
of space
To the dog show and the prize fight and the latest
yachting race;
And the other one who argues that the news by
telegraph
Is very prosy stuff, and should be "cut" at least
one half;
All these and many more must certainly insist
Should be put upon the list, should be put upon
the list. philadelphia Record.

The Man Who Laughs.
Le,oiston (Me.) Journal.


The man whose ha! hal reaches from
one end of the street to the other may
be the same fellow who scolded his wife
and spanked the baby before he got his
breakfast, bat his laughter is only the
crackle of thorns under the pot. The
man who spreads his laughter through his
life, before a late breakfast, when he
misses the train, when his wife goes Wis
iting and he has to eat cold supper,
the man who can laugh when he finds
button off his shirt, when the furnace
fire goes out in the night and both of
the twins come down with the measels
at the same time, he's the fellow that's
needed. He never tells his neighbor to
have faith; somehow he puts faith into
him. He delivers no homilies; the
sight of his beaming face, the sound of
his happy voice and the sight of his
blessed daily life carry conviction that
words have no power to give. The
blues flee before him as the fog before
the west wind; he comes into his own
home like flood of sunshine over
meadow of blooming buttercups, and
his wife and children blossom in his
presence like June roses. His home is
redolent with Sympathy and love. The
neighborhood is better for his life and
somebody will learn of him that laugh
ter is better than tears. The world
needs this man; why are there so few
of him? Can he be created2 Can he
be evolved2 Why is he not in every
house, turning rain into shine and win
ter into summer all round the year, until
life is perpetual season of joya

'How are you, old fellow?' cried a
cherry voice, and the Old Subscriber
from up the creek took the village edi-
tor by the hand with a hearty grasp and
shook pain in the editors shoulder
blade. And then the Old Subscriber
from up the creek seated himself in the
vacant chair and merrily spoke thus:
well, old boy, you're just giving US
the very best paper we ever had. A
good story every week, some poetry to
please the women, column or two of
fresh humor to make US laugh and keep
our livers running on regular schedule
time, just about enough of politics, all
the news that is worth a busy mans
time to read, every important local
event written up in breezy, readable
style, and advertisements of all the pub
lie sales and of the stores and shops that
offer US bargains. Yes, sir; your paper
is good enough for me-worth twice
what you ask for it-and want to pay
you years subscription for myself, and
here are four dollars more, for which
you may send your paper to my son out
West, and my daughter down South,
for they both like to get the news from
old home, and you give them more of
it in one issue of your paper than l could
write in twenty letters. That's all I've
got to say to-day. Come out and see
me when 1 begin to make cider, and
bring jug along if you've got one, and
if you haven't, I've got one to lend
you; goodbye
And the Old Subscriber from up the
creek went out with a smile upon his
face that began just below his left ear
and spread leisurely about over his face
and then quietly meandered back to the
place of beginning.
The village editor was about to pinch
himself to assure himself that he was
really wide awake, when the cry of
'copy!' came to his ears, and then he
didn't think it necessary to pinch him
self. He only folded up three crisp
two-dollar bills and put them in his
pocket with the beautiful thought that
this world in which We live is not half
so bad world as folks sometimes dream
it is.
