: The Little Nan Conscience.

Every window Of the parlor was wide
open, and although the sun, shining
from tho east. laid bright bands of
golden light across the carpet, yet the
crisp, cold air OF January sent icy
blasts along with the sunshine.
Christie was sweeping not such short,
careless sweep as less pronounced
character could DO satisfied to give, but
clearly strokes, that at once cleaned
the carpet and raised but little dust; in
fact, just as everybody knew Christie
would work.
Christie was curiosity to the mem
bers of the household; at once as sim
pie and as light of heart as child, yet
on occasion woman upon whose judg-
ment they could rely, true and brave to
great degree.
On the particular day on which you
are looking at her through strangers
eyes, she was in quandary; her mind
contained an unusual burden, for she
was not singing as usual, and her biz
gray eyes had look of trouble thai
was so intense that it seemed to bring {
suspicion of tears to them.
Some of the family would say tina
tears and Christie's eyes could neve,

THE WoMEN GET USED no 1T.

The Montenegrins are entering the
field as emigrants. Whether the crop
of flea powder, that is their staple ar
ticle Of export, has failed, or whether
the feas that cause the demand for it
have diminished, is not clear, but GER
tain it is that the people of the noun
tain principally are inclined to leave
their rocks in such numbers as to cause
Prince Nicholas to fear day when he
shall no longer have man left to gov
ern. Perhaps the Montenegrins will
be putting in an appearance in Castle
Garden one of these days. They are
all in favor of allowing woman as large
a sphere as she wants, if SO be that she
will only work in it. It was one of
them to whom a traveller, observing
the women hoeing q field with hoes but
two feet in the handle, said:
"Why do you make the women work
with such tools as that?"
because it makes the mems backs
ache, answered the free-born son Of
the Black mountain.
"But does it not make the women's
backs ache, too?"
ooh, they get used to it."-Nev
York Tribat'ae.

HER RUINED POWDER PUrF

Il don't think I'd go out like that !"
he said to his wife who turned to him
radiant in new hat and fresh from the
finishing touches Of the toilet.
"What's the matter with me"
"Well, I'd wash my face if I were
YOU"
"Well, I never! It has taken mo
two hours to got myselfup. Have put
on too much powder 2"
mo; you have black smudge clear
around your beautiful nose, that's all
my darling"
what" she screamed, and turned to
the glass where on earth can Ihava
got that%
She picked up something in chamois
leather from the dressing table and
looked at it.
I declare, if my new powder puff is
not completely ruined?"
'That! That your powder puff"
"Yes; a new thing, just out from Nav
York, and there isn't another in tow, ),
THAT! powder puff? used il this
afternoon for penwiper. -.Chienoo

Such Il little thing--a letter.

Yet sonnet lines sine'o lotter
Turns tho sunshine into shade;
Chills our efforts, clouds our prospects,
Blig,its our hopes and makes thom fade.
Messengers Of JOY or sorrow,
Life or death. success, despair;
Boards CT affections wishes,
Greeting kind or loving prayer
Prayer or greeting. wcre we present
Would be ;olt but half unsaid;
We can write. because our letters
Net our facas-will DO read.
Who has not some treasured letters,
Ornaments choice of others lives;
Rel cs, some, Of friends departed
Friends whose memory slill survives?
Touched by neither tima nor distance,
Viii til ir words unspoke:l last;
Ec!celoss whispers OF the present.
Silent echoes Of tho past!

TREE co;nn1NG .Nl1NY .4cREx,


The banyan tree is one of the remark
able products of the East Indies. Its
life is usually begun from minute seed
dropped by some bird upon some other
plant, such rs the wild date, which it
brushes as it grows. Every branch from
the main body throws out its own roots,
which, constantly thickening, descend
to the ground several yards below,
where they strike in, increase to large
trunks, ard send out new branches
from their tops which in turn repeat
the process. The botanic garden at
Calcutta contains great banyan, now
about century old, which has parent
trunk 40 feetin circumference, 232 root
trunks ranging from few inches to a
foot around, with vast leafy crown
S57 feet in circumference. Near the
hill fort of Wysatgarh, in the Bombay
presidency, is banyan whose top in 1882
measured 1857 feet in circumference
Other specimens greatly exceed even
this prodigious size, single trees being
said to cover thirteen acres. The IA
nous banyan under which Alexander the
Great stopped, on the banks of the Ner-
budda, once sheltered 1000 men, and
when seen by Forbes generation ago,
though much reduced in size by floods,
was still nearly 1000 feet in circum-
ference, and had more than 5000
trunks.

she have many sad moments mixed
with the gay ones; for life is made up
of sunshine and shadows, and if the
dark clouds never came overhead we
should never know how bright the sun
can shine.
In sort OF unconscious way Christie
swept over and over figure OF green
and gold that was worked into the car
pet; then she paused, and clasping both
hands over the top Of the broom, rested
her chin upon them, still thinking upon
the bothers. just then gentle knock at
the door and the turning of the handle
disclosed to view the face of little
Jacky, Christie's especial pet.
"Can I come in, Christie % he asked.
"Not when the cold is coming into the
windows at such a rate my darling"
"But aren't you cold, Christie?"
mo, little kid; my dress is thicker
than yours, and I have silk handller.
chief over my ears and pair of mittens
upon my hands. Whereas if you be-
come to-cold you might turn into big
icicle."
Jacky gradually disappeared behind
the door and Christie continued her
work. She was thinking just as hard, but
there had come into her eyes q more
hopeful look that dispersed the mist of
tears II know how to settle it; Jacky
shall decide for me-" So, when the win
dow were closed and the room had be-
come warmer, she called the boy, and
perching him upon table, she knelt
beside him.
"Jacky, little man, do you know what
Judge does?"
"Hasn't he court, Christie? I think
papa said so to John last evening""
eyes, you are quite right. Now, this
room is the court, you are the Judge
and am the prisoner. Do you under

"Yes."
"And you are to pass sentence upon
me-"
ooh! But Christie, you would not
do what I told you unless you chose to,
and couldn't make you, you know.

"What is the matter, prisoner ?" asked
Jacky, with mock dignity.
Gust this. am invited to go to a
place of amusement this evening,

"And won't mamma let you go?"
II have not asked her yet"
"Well, why don't you?"
II am not sure that it is right for me
to go; how shall I find out?"
"Ol, Christie, don't you know? Papa
says that everybody, big and little, has
in their head little man, Conscience,
that can help them every time. You
had better ask him."
II ought to know that without being
told by baby like you.
ASK the little man if it is right, and
if he does not say yes quickly, then he
means you had better not do ii.
"That is just it, pet.
"And papa says to ask the questions
quickly, and to take his first answer,
because he likes to be played with
sometimes, and then we so wrong"
II thank you much, darling; you
have given me q lesson that shall never
forget. And hereafter I shall not need
the help Of any one except the little
man, Conscience, to show me what is
best to do. "-EIcha1age.

We can be guided by usefulness and
happiness only by those who have
themselves found the road; never by
those who have missed it, and made q
