any one might be proud
ado you know that some such
Thoughts have entered my mind about
the boy since he came" said Jack
"And | have wished that he might have
more encouragement at home and bet
ter opportunities of making something
of himself"
"It his parents are willing, what
would you say, Jack, to him staying
with US, for while at least, and see if
we cannot stimulate him into a new
lite2 He has been so neglected that
know both patience and work would be
required of us. But if we could bene-
fit him we would feel well repaid for
our effort
The plan was agreed by both.
As to Tommie's family, they made
no objection. His sisters said they mad
no doubt that Jacks wife would soon
tire of her bargain.
Years have passed since Tomme first
met his sister in-law. Today there is
prominent law firm bearing the name of
| Jack Brown & Brother. The Brother
is no other than little Tommie. He is
still of small stature, and just as homely
man as boy. But when men SIT,
enrapted by his eloquence, little thought
is given to his appearance.
Enshrined In his heart is a deep and
lasting gratitude to Jacks wife, for only
to her can he attribute his success in
life.
This little sketch of Tommie IS taken
from life. The writer produced it just
to show how, by neglect, upkindness
and unwise discipline child nature may
become prevented. And how, in the
congenial atmosphere of encourage
ment and love, the better qualities of
character will be stimulated into lite.
We cannot have choice plant with
out careful cultivation. There must be
sunshine and water, and hoeing, before
we can have the perfect flower. The
human plant, a child's mind, must
, undergo similar culture if good
character is to be hoped for. Parental
love must be ever on the alert to slim
, ulate the good and discourage the evil.
And only by understanding well each
: child's nature, so that the seed sown
may be suited to the soil, can the mos
perfect bloom, in human character be
! attained.- Western Pioneer.

SHERIDAN'S RIDE.

Up from the South at break OF day.
Bringing to Winchester lre-h d'smay,
The aflriglitcd air with shudder bore,
Like a herald in haste TO the cheitan'S door,
The terrible erumble and rumble and roar,
Telling the battle was on once mere,
And Sheridan twenty miles away
And wider still those billows of war
Thundcred along the horizons bar
And louder yet into Winchester rolled
The roar OF that red uncontrolled
Making the blood OF the listener cold
As he thought Of the stake in that fiery fray,
And Sheridan twenty miles away!
But there is a road from Winchester town,
\ good broad hi hway leading down:
And there through the flush OF the morning
light,
A steed, as black as the stecd of night,
Was seen to pass as with eagle flight
| As if he knew the terrible need
He stretched away with his utmost speed;
| Hill rose and iel-but his heart gay,
With Sheridan fifteen mile; away!
still sprang from those swift noois, laundering
| south.
The dust like smoke from the connon's mouth,
Or the trail ot comet, sweeping laster and
| faster.
| Forehoding to traitors the doom Of disaster;
The heart of the stecd and the heart of the master
Where beating like prisoners assaulting theil
walls,
Impatient to he where the battlefield calls:
Every nerve ui the charger was strained 10 iUi
| play,
| With Sheridan only ten miles away!
| Under his spurning leet the road
Like au arrowy Alpine river flowed,
| And the landscape sped away behind
Like an ocean flying before the wind:
| And the steed, like Il bark fed with furnace ire,
Swept on, with his wild eyes tuli Oi tlre.
But 10 . he is nearing his hearts desire
He is snutting the smoke OF the roaring tray,
With Sheridan only live miie. away.
The hrst that the General saw the groups
OF stragglers, and then the retreat ny troops:-
What was dOne-what 10 no-a glance told hin
both;
Then striking his spurs, with terrible oath,
lie dashed down the line mid storm of huZZa:
And the wave OF retreat checked its cOur e there
because
The sight of the master compelled it to pause.
With foam and with dust the black charger wa
gray;
By the flash of his eye and his red nostrilS pla!
| He seemed to the whole great army to say:
Il have brought you Sheridan all the way
From Winchester down to save the day.
Hurrah, hurrah for Sheridan.
Hurrab, hurrah Tor horse and man!
And when their statues are placed on high,
Under the dome OF the Union sky,

BE it said in letters both bold and bright:
Here is the steed thai saved the day
BY carrying Sheridan into the fight,

She was demure looking girl OF Is, with
rosy cheeks, IA fluffy bang of blonde hair, and
light brown eyes. Half concealed by the
lapel of her sacque was a silver cross tied
with royal purple ribbon. This proclaimed
her one of the Kings Daughters. AS she en-
tered the Sixth avenue elevated car at Four
teenth street yesterday afternoon she at
tracted general attention. The car was well
filed, but II seat was offered to her immedi-
ately, and she sat down beside an elderly
woman.
al see you wear the cross of the Kings
Daughters, said the matron, as she exhibited
one she herself wore. Are you able to do

and the younger Daughter of the King quickly
replied Oh not near enough, but | have

ousiy shake n little girl of three or four years

nodded TO her. The little thing seemed to
appreciate it, and looked timidly at me and
then at her mother. But the mother looked
even more pleased than the child, as though
it had awakened all her maternal pride She
smiled at me, looked tenderly at the child,
and apparently dreT her gently forward, so
she might appear to the very best advantage.
There was not "A trace of vexaton lett in the
mothers face then, and when they passed on

it successfully all the remainder of the after

Then the train reached Thirty-third street,
and as the writer on reaching the platform
turned to get another look at the young
Daughter of the King she had just risen to

Articles Of food fried in drippings are not
only more palatabe than those fried in lard
but more wholesome. Indeed, there are many
persons whose stomachs will fight against
any food fried in lard, yet take kindly to
that where drippings have been used. 1t may
be utilized, too, not only for frying, but for
pastry purposes, in the making of which
good beef drippings is far preferable TO the
common butter generally used. Therefore,
to the family in which economy is any OBJ
ject, the proper care of drppings is of con
siderable Importance.
The manner of clarifying the drippings,
though simple, requires little time and care
First, every particle of fat should be melted
down, and this with whatever superhuous
quantity you may have in your meat pan,
should be poured into bowl with some
boiling water, Stir it afterwards for three
or four minutes, and set it away until the
next day. Then take the cake from the bowl,
and remove with knife whatever impuri-
ties may have settled on the bottom of it.
Put 1t into saucepan, adding a little salt
and some boiling water, and allow it to sim
mer for twenty minutes, Swimming OFF the
impurities if any rise to the surface. Then
pour it again into bowl and when cold,
free the bottom of the cake AS before, melt
and strain it through seive, and when
quite cold, put away for use i'll covered
stone crock. Drippipgs may be used for fry
ing purposes over anc over again, but should
be clarified after each using The House
