What a Child Did.

Only few days ago mother and
her daughter, on their way from Phila-
delphia to Omaha, were changing
trains at one of our passenger stations
Suddenly the girl caught sight of her
father, a San Franciscan, on his return
journey from New York. He had
parted from his wife six years ago on
account of some domestic infelicity.
Ffle child called his name
30 papa! There's papa!"-and ran
to him. He clasped her in his arms.
But her work as peacemaker was
only begun. Now come over to MAN.
ma" she continued, eagerly. ''Do
speak to mamma. She has cried so
much, and has told me often how good
papa always was" The appeal was ir-
resistible. The husband and father
looked at the wife and mother, he
stepped quickly to her, they clasped
hands, and the unlooked-fOr reconcllla-
tion was an accomplished fact The
west-bound train bore away reunited
tamily.-I'1teriOr.

No Fool Like an Old One.

What silly things people do; what
silly things people have done; what
silly things people will do till the end
of time. There is no age at which a
man loses all his sentiment; no age at
which woman is not sentimental.
Look at this courtly old gentleman
talking to q sweet and charming maiden
of eighteen in the ball room. What is
he thinking? Although he may have
the best wife in the world, and love
and respect her, the wish still passes
through his mind that he were young
once again to love and win her. She
has bouquet of roses in her hand. She
picks one of the prettiest out and gives
it to him. Watch him take it. He
puts it to his lips-with that old
fashioned grace. He bows and holds
her hand to the lips where the rose
has been. He puts it in a buttOn-hole,
and there comes into his face, as he
watches the fair giver swept off into
the dance, look of mingled pleasure
and sadness. You can't tell me that
mans heart is hardened to the world.
He is Judge, accustomed to try hard
cases, to see human nature in its
meanest, in it's most contemplate form.
See, he comes back. He is looking for
something. He has dropped the rose
by accident, and-there it is-he has
picked it up and put it back in his but
ton-hole. San Francisco Chronicle.

NUMBER so.
PITH AND POINT.

The mill streams that turn the
clappers of the world arise in solitary
places. Helps.
Some build rather upon the
abusing of others, and putting tricks
upon them, than upon soundness of
their own proceedings. Bacon.
The creed of a narrow man-If a
friend changes his mind he is a traitor;
if stranger does ne: think as you do
he is fool.-M o. Picayune.
Only he who uses knowledge has a
permanent hold on knowledge. The
heart that gives out love unsparingly
is the heart that has most love yet to
give.
The bright genus is ready to be so
forward as often betrays him into great
errors in judgment without continual
bride on the tongue.-Dr. l. Watts.
Worry not about the possible
troubles of the future; for if they come,
you are but anticipating and adding to
their weight; and if they do not come.
your worry is useless.
There is nothing so bad but man
may lay hold of something about it
that will afford master of excuse; nor
nothing so excellent but a man may
fasten upon something belonging to it
whereby to reduce it.-IJllotson.
Whose can restrain his dis position
to blame and find fault, and can bring
himself down to fallen brother, will
soon find way to better feelings
within. Pity and patience are the
two keys which unlock the human
heart.
"A man who dwells on failure with
discomfort condemns himself of little
ness We can not be masters of our
selves till our sovereignty has been
challenged and proved. The salutary
shock comes on this side and that,
and the courageous sufferer Is taught
the wealth of his re sources.
Sympathy is both the forerunner
and the follower of knowledge, in the
study of any character which is worth
being acquainted with. Unless we
are in sympathy with such character,
we can never understand it; and only
as we understand it can we have full
ness of sympathy with it.
Many people know how to do this
and that, but they lack the capacity
for doing. They are istless, indolent,
slow; or to call them by better name,
they are lazy. If this can not be over
come in them, they will make no prog
ress. United Presbyterian.
Gain comes through outlay; CIV
ing promotes growth. Loss comes
through boarding; holding brings de-
cay. The law is the same, so far, in
the realm of spirit and matter. Hand,
head and heart must be taxed in order
to live. He who would have must
spend. He who wo aid hold must yield.
The more one does, the greater his
power of doing.

SIGHTS IN FINLAND.
Where Women and Girls Act as PostbO
and Even the Hogs Are Clean.

Where Women and Girls Act as PostbOys
and Even the Hogs Are Clean.
Our postboys invariably carry three
or four rings of bread and some hay in
the cart to feed their horses at the end
OF their stage before going back. At
some of the stations we found no men
at home. The women would bring out
the cart, send lad to the field (or go
themselves) for the horse, and hitch
it up, and twice women were our post
boys, but generally we had bright
little fellows from ten to twelve years
old, and few times little girls. The
weather was showery while we were
posting, and we thus lost considerable
time. | employed it in speering
about and writing. Travel in Fin
land is ridiculously cheap in the in
terror. A horse and cart, holding us
two and our light baggage, cost sixteen
pennies verst, or little under five
cents a mile. A run of ten miles
would take about an hour and
half 1t really did us good to see the
real pleasure we afforded when we
gave our little post-bOys and girls
hallmark, or ten cents, at the end of
their stage. At the farm-houses or
post-stations where we spent nights we
would have good beds, supper on
bacon and raw fish, rye bread, and
Swedish hard bread (deliciOus), and as
delightful milk, cream, butter and
clabber as one ever ate: and in addi-
tion to these very good coffee and
sometimes eggs for breakfast And
the whole for two of us cost from sew
enty cents to one dollar. The travel
ers' rooms at the post-hOuses were de-
lightfully clean-One or two with strips
of carpet, others strewn with sweet fir
twigs.
Then, too, the little tow-headed chill
dren were so good-natured and two or
three pet hogs invariably grunted un-
der our windows with a sort of squeal
for a crust. The hogs, by the way,
were always clean and really not bad
pets. We had always beautifully curled
tailed sort of dogs to keep us company.
One stayed with us forty-eight miles
He had the most Observation-Disclosures
curled tail l ever saw. l think he rec
ognized us as free-born Americans,
and wished to go home with us. He
was evidently well-known at the differ
ent stations.
| will here state that Finnish has no
affinity, am told, with any European
language, or perhaps any Asiatic. 1t
has no propositions. For them a
suffix is added. For example, sign
board has on it, "Uluum 80" This
means: ITO Ulu so versts." While
''Ulusta" means from Ulu." To
show the difficulty of acquiring the
language, Finnish lady said to me
that she learned Russian quite correct
ly in a year, while a Russian friend, a
better Iinguist than she, was two years
in learning Finnish as well. And yet
Russian is considered a very difficult
language to master.-Carter II. HGrr5-
son, IN Chicago Mai(.
