Warranted to Keep her Busy.

Doctor" said patient, who lived in
a boarding house and consequently had
nothing to do. "can't you suggest some
light employment for me. so that | can
keep my mind off OF myself"
Are you fond of fancy work." he
asked.
"Oh! | am heartily tired of that. I've
been learning new stitches tor the last
two years. | want something new and
different"
Something that will keep you busy
every moment of the day-keep your
hands occupied?'
That's it exactly"
Tell your husband to get you a Water
bury watch, and you take the contract to
wind it. That will come pretty near
keeping you busy as long as you live

ALL THE CHILDREN.

suppose If all the children
Who have lived through the ages long
Were collected and inspected.
They would make a wondrous throng.
Oh, the babble Of the Bable
oh, the futter and the fussi
To begin with Cain and Abel,
And to finish up with US.
Think of the men and women
Who are now and who have been
Every nation since creation
That this world of ours has seen;
And OF all of them, not any
But was once e baby small;
While OF children, oh, how many
Have not grown up at all
Some have never laughed nor spoken,
Never used their rosy feet.
Some have even flown 10 Heaven
Ere they knew that earth was sweet;
And, INDEED. ] wonder whether,
IL We reckon every birth,
And bring such flock together,
There 10 room for them on earth.
Who will wash ths ir smiling faces?
Who their saucy ears will box!
Who will dress them and caress them!
Whs Is i'll darn their little socks'
Where are arms enough to hold themg
Hands to pat each shining head!
Who will praise them! Who will scold them
Who will pack them off to bed!
Happy little CHI lstian children,
Little savage children, too,
In all stages, of all ages
That our planet ever knew
Little princes and little princesses,
Little beegars wan and faint,
Some in very handsome dresses,
Naked some, bedaubed with paint.
Only think of the confusion
Such a motley crowd would makei
And the CHATTER of their chatter,
And the things that they would break
Oh, the babble of the Bable!
Oh, the futter and the fuss
To begin with Cain and Abel,
And to finish up with U.S.

DO THY DUTY.

sat alone one afternoon,
With busy fingers working;
With naught TO harrass or disturb,
My thoughts were swiftly rowing.
! thought Of the changes all around;
Thought of the long-ago days,
When many Of us together
Made joyous and bright the wav.
Unheeded the years slipped by;
We our mission teek to find:
Hand In hand we work together,
Our hearts friendship closely binds.
Life's playtime for us is over;
Work and duty, hard and stern,
Have called us from our dreaming,
Lies hardest lessons to learn.
Do thy duty. however hard;
Do IL bravely, do not finch;
And doing thus. thou shalt add
To life's chain golden link.
Hurmur not at heavy trials;
Soon our tired hands shall rest,
In our bright. fair home in glory,
We shall know that God knew best"

Church Fairs.

The action of the Catholic Church in pro-
hibiting church fairs, balls and similar
methods of raising money for church uses or
for charitable purposes will meet with the
hearty commentator of judicious persons.
Divine charity does not need any DISCUSSES to
hide her noble purposes. The giver who is
beguiled of his gift by an appeal to the weak
err side of his nature is not blessed with the
promise of heavenly repayment. The money
gathered into the treasures of the various
churches by devices that stop little short of
the methods of the lottery does as much
harm in the gathering as it does good in dis
tribution. The example set by the Catholic
Church in reprobating this system of false
pretenses ought to be followed by other relig-
ious denominations whose practice in this re-
spect has been quite as culpable. Philadel-
