MENTAL GROWTH OF CHILDREN.

Very often we read Of cases where par
children.
The truth is, they grow up much faster
than parents are aware.
While mother innocently believes her
little girls mind is entirely occupied with
her dolls and pets, in reality the child is
weaving romances in which SOME calow
youth is the central figure, and herself the
heroine,
She may fancy her boy is entirely en-
crossed with his marbles and his balls, but
the lad himself has already determined his
future career of renown in the pirates or
highwayman's fascinating profession.
1t is terrible revelation when surrep-
titious filtration with the telegraph mcssen-
ger, or midnight escapade, shows too
plainly where the heart of the child is
placed,
We know case in which boy OF fifteen
was charged with crime, and finally con-
fessed himself guilty.
The surprise and agony of his mother
was heartrending.
ut cannot be-" was the cry. ''he is a lit
tie boy. Why he is my baby. Every night
he puts his arms around my neck and kisses
me. 1t is not possibep'
Had the boy actually been babe in the
cradle, the mother would have been no more
astonished.
1t is fiction pleasing to the parents
hearts that their children are but children,
too Young to know or dream of any evil
more heinous than childish peccadilloes.
But it is fiction fraught with grave pprils.
Every mother ought to know If her boy
smokes.
Yet we can point to half dozen boys
who puff along the streets, whose mothers
firmly believe them to be angels of light,
and would be Indignantly incredulous if
told the facts.
The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1886-12-11
out,
God made it all.

He cannot be an unhappy man who has
the love and smile of woman to accomp-
any him in every department of life.
1t argues a poor opinion of ourselves
when we cannot admit any other class of
merit beside our own, or any rival In that
class.
There is better than the great man
who is always speaking, and that is the
great man who only speaks when he has a
great word TO say.
BE patient in little things. Learn to
bear the everyday trials and annoyances of
life quietly and calmly, and then when un-
forseen trouble or calamity comes, your
strength will not forsake you.
We must never imagine that il is only
the poor and unfortunate who need Our
services. We have some power for good
over all with whom We mingle, and our be-
nevolent desires will multiply and strength
en- in proportion as they culninate in wise
action.
Human character needs both doing and
thinking to make it truly noble and valu-
able. just as the perfection of the body
demand the full exercise of ever one of its
parts; so the perfection of the nature re-
quires the well-balanced exercise of every
faculty. Mind and body must unite all their
powers to form an equipped man or woman.
Human happiness is dependent on this two
fold life.
Men may admire power, revere intellI-
gence, love sincerity, hut they cannot honor
that man with good name who is cruel,
morose, quarelsome, or even simply in
different to his fellow-men. If we look
back on history, we shall find that those
who have left behind them that memory
Of good name have had character rooted
in integrity, intelligence and good will. If
we examine the lives of those around MS to
whom We unhesitatingly accord the need
of good name, we shall find that, what
ever may be their powers, or their condi-
tlons, or their opinions, the same three
principles are living and growing within
them.

TILLYS CHOICE.

"Oh, Tilly McEwensl meyer saw the
likes of YOUR
"Sh-hF' said Miss McEwens, her black
eyes dancing with fun.
"Its the queerest thing that you can't
tell your own mind" resumed Poll Evans.
1T would take power of talk, though,
to make me think you aln't putting some
of 1t on. guess If l had two after me"
"Oh. pshaw, Poll, wait till you know
something about IL. You never had a
beau in your life, and l we had a dozen or
so. And now mean to get married."
"Well," said Poll, rather sullenly, 81
amt as old as you. Anyway, expect al
ways to be sharp enough to know which
of two things like best"
SHARP isn't the word, Poll. It's not a
question of fortune. don't know wheth-
er I'd prefer to be Mrs. Jones, the wife of
the jeweler, or Mrs. johnson, the wife Of
one of the bosses Of the mills. l don't
know whether | like best Jones' blue eyes
and | adore blue eyes-or Johnson's s
black mustache-and love q black mus
tache. Oh! there never was girl in such
q quandaryp'
1t was about a week after this that Miss
McEwens came home TO supper with a
tragic face, and letter in her pocket.
Poll, in the doorway, nudRed her, and
pointed to her plate on the dining table, be-
side which lay another letter. TIlly swept
this also into her pocket, ate her supper in
absolute silence, and afterward beckoned
Poll TO follow her up stairs.
Don't say a word" Miss McEwens said,
sitting down on the first chair she came to.
81 know all about IL. One letter is from
Jones and the other from johnson, and
they are both dated to-day. And there you
sit and laughT
1t was not very kind Of Poll, but 1t is a
fact that she had sat down on the bed and
laughed till the tears ran down her cheeks.
IL can't for my life tell which like best,
Poll, which do you think is nlcestr'
"You amt gOin' by anything 1 say.
like johnson best"
"Oh, but Jones is more than gentle
man. And they're both coming here to-
night to Ellen Reeves's surprise party, and
each SAYS can answer him to night.
Think of that, Poll" and Miss McEwens
walked the room desperately; "bOlh com
ing for answer tonight"
''She does beat the DutchP' thought
Poll, an hour later, as she watched Tilly
moving about among the noisy and mot
ley Eathering below stairs, as gay as the
Eayest, her own saucy, Indifferent little self
again. Iu one corner Jones was standing,
stationary as the enormous vase Of dried
