Right Good Advice.

My son, when you hear man growl-
ing and scolding because Moody gets
two hundred dollars week for preach
ing Christianity you will perceive that
he never worries a minute because
Ingersoll gets two hundred dollars a
night for preaching atheism. You will
observe that the man who is unutter-
ably shocked because F. Murphy gets
one hundred fifty dollars a week for
temperance work seems to think it is
all right when the bar-keeper takes in
twice as much money in single day.
The laborer is worthy of his hire, my
boy; and he is just as worthy of it in
the pulpit as he is upon the stump. Is
the man who is honestly trying to
save your immortal soul worth less
than the man who is only trying his
level best to go to congress? Isn't
Moody doing as good work as Inger-
soil? Was not John B. Cough as much
the friend of humanity and society as
the bartender? Do you want to get
all the good in the world for nothing,
so that you may be able to pay high
price for the bad? Remember, my
boy, the good things in the world are
costs less than corn whiskey; a box of
cigars will buy two or three Bibles; a
gallon of old brandy costs more than a
barrel of flour; full hand " at cards
often costs a man more in twenty
minutes than his church subscription
amounts to in three years; state cleo
ton costs more than a revival of re.
ligion. You can sleep in church every
Sunday morning for nothing, if you're
mean enough to dead-beat your lodg-
ing in that way, but a nap in Pull.
man car costs you two dollars every
time. Fifty cents for the circus, and a
penny for the little ones to put in the
missionary box; one dollar for the
theater, and pair of trousers frayed
at the end and baggy as to the knees
for the Michigan sufferers. The race
horse scoops in two thousand dollars
the first day, and the church fair lasts
aweek, works twenty-five or thirty OF
the best women in America nearly tC
death, and comes out forty dollars in
debt. Why, my boy, if you find your
self sneering or soothing because once
in awhile you hear of preacher get
ting living, or even a luxurious salary
or temperance worker making money
90 out in the dark and feel ashamed Of
yourself-and, if you don't feel above
kicking mean man, kick yourself
Precious little do religion and charity
cost the old world, my boy; and when
the money it does get is flung into its
face, like a bone to dog, the donor il
not benefited by the gift, and the re
ceiver is not, and certainly should moi
be, grateful. He is insulted. -Burdette

The Disinterested Boy.

The sun had set and the night was
spreading its mantle over hilltop and
valley and lonely wood and busy vii
lage. While the winds were beginning
to sweep through the trees, lights were
here and there peeping through the
windows, to tell that, though the wind
might be peace and comfort within. AT
this hour Mr.. Bradley passed through
little village among these hills, and,
urging his horse forward as the night
became darker, took his way through
the main road toward the next town,
where he wished to pass the night. AS
he passed the last house in the village
he thought he heard some one call;
but, supposing it might be some boy
shouting to another boy, he thought
little of it. He heard the call again
and again. AT last it occurred to him
that some one might wish to speak to
him, and he stopped the pace of his
horse and looked behind the chaise to
see if he could discover who was call
ing. "Stop, sir; stop" said little
boy, who was running with all his
might to overtake him. Mr.. Bradley
stopped his horse and little boy of
eight or ten years came up, painting
at every breath. "Well, my little fei-
low, what do you wish for?' said Mr..
Bradley. "You are losing your trunk,
sir" answered the boy as soon as he
could speak. "And so you have run
all this way to tell me of it, have you,
my good boy?" Yes, sir" Mr..
Bradley jumped out of his chaise and
saw that his trunk, which was strapped
underneath his carriage, was unfas-
tened at one end, so that sudden Jolt
might have loosened it altogether and
he might have lost it without knowing
where it had gone. you are very
kind, my little lad" said the gentle
man, d" to take all this trouble; you
have saved me from losing my trunk
and feel much obliged to you. And
now are you tall enough to hold my
horse while l fasten the trunk as it
should be?" said Mr.. Bradley. ooh,
yes, SIR" said the boy, stepping up and
taking hold of the bride. He held the
horse till Mr.. Bradley was ready to
start, and then said Goodnight, sir"
and stepped away. "Stop moment"
said Mr.. Bradley, taking shilling from
his pocket; here is piece of money
to pay you for your trouble, and 1 feel
very grateful besides" No, sir;
thank you," said the boy, casting his
eye full in the gentleman's face. "D Do
you think l would take money for such
a thing as that?" "Ah!" said Mr..
Bradley, as he afterward related the
story, saw by his noble look that he
had run from one-half to three-quarters
of mile for the sake of doing kind
ness to stranger and not for the hope
of pay; and l could not find it in my
heart to urge him to take the money,
for l knew that the thought of do
ing good was greater reward to him
than money could have been. So l
babe him goodnight, and he ran
toward home, while gave whip to the
horse and again rode briskly on; but l
often think of that journey and the
noble-hearted boy who lived among the
ills.-London Child's Companion.

The Dead Year.

Yet another chief is carried
From life's battle on his spears
To the great Valhalla cloisters
OF the everything years.
Yet another year-the mummy
OF "a war-like giant vast
Is niched within the pyramid
OF the ever-growing past
Years roll through the palm of ages
As the dropping rosary speeds
Through the cold and passive fingers
OF hermit at his beads.
One year falls and ends its penance,
one arises with its needs.
And tits ever thus, prays Nature,
Only telling years for beads.
Years, like acorns from the branches
OF the giant oak of Time,
Fill the earth with healthy seedlings
For future more sublime.

A Famous Doctor

Once said that the secret of good health
consisted in keeping the head COOL the
feet warm, and the bowels open. Had
this eminent physician lived in our day,
and known the merits of Ayers Pills
as an aperient, he would certainly have
recommended them, as so many of his
distinguished successors are doing.
The celebrated DR.. Farnsworth, OF
Norwich, Conn, recommends Ayers
Pills as the best of all remedies for
Intermittent Fevers."
DIR. /. Il. Fowler, of Bridgeport,
Conn, says: ayers Pills are highly
and universally spoken of by the people
about here. make daily use of them
in my practice"
DR.. Mayhem, of New Bedford, Mass,
says: Having prescribed many thou
sands of Ayers Pills, in my practice,
can unhesitatingly pronounce them the
best cathartic in use"
The Massachusetts State Assayer, DIR.
A. A. Hayes, certifies Il have made a
careful analysis of Ayers Pills. They
contain the active principles of we'll
known drugs, isolated from inert mat
ter, which plan is, chemically speaking,
Of great importance to their usefulness.
1t insures activity, certainty, and uni
formity of effect. Ayers Pills contain
no metallic or mineral substance, but
the virtues Of vegetable remedies in
skillful combination"

A LUDICRoUs mistake happened
some time ago at a funeral, The cler-
gyman was reading the service, until
he came to that part which says our
deceased brother or sister," without
knowing whether the deceased was a
male or female. He turned round to
one of the mourners and asked whether
it was a brother or sister. The man
very innocently replied, "No relation
at all, sir-only an acquaintance"
