An Aged Christian Veteran Sleeps.

BY l.. BING.
Once more the church is in gloom,
Another member il the TOMB
Who counted all things here but loss
And gt0rieI III her S;viour's cross
The church received another stroke,
one ol her columns now is broke;
But do hot mdrmer nor complain,
Praise Sc Inc Lord who once was slain.
That which is his the Lord will take,
And Is too wise 10 make misJNhes;
Too just and good 10 do IL wrong,
And praises 10 his name belong.
While sine Was well advanced in years,
Encuslb@red with host cares,
A foul disease prryed ON her frame,
and neIu her Til he reaper came.
And whie,she bore the heavy rod
Tier mind was fixed upou her God,
W hile trusting in tiis caring son,
She asked to let His will be done
Thln called her daughter to her bed,
y nd placed her hand upod her head
Ana as her christian hcart was large,
she said be faithful 10 your charge.
She charged her other Sunday School.
Pleasant as ii in SLOAN pool,
Concluding what she had to say,
Her ransOmed spirit SCARED away.
Her children that she loved so well,
Was filed with sorrow when she fell,
They watched around her dying bed,
ill it wds whispered ''she is dead"
The reaper clipped the vital thread,
And she was numbered with the dead,
And heard her Saviours great applaud,
Come in thou blessed of the Lord.
When near the Jasper walls she drew
The Angels struck their hafps anew
And pealing organs swell the sltdlu
To praise the Lamb for sinners slain.
We do not thing we say amiss
By speaking cOnfid' mt as til S,
Now far above the etheriol blue
she takes the sacrament anew.
We know she was mother dear,
For that we saw from year to year;
Her children was To her most klhd,
And she of pure and noble mind.
She Joined the church while in her youth,
And grew in knowledge OF the tfulhi
She made her church her chief concern
Her heart was pure her words were stern.
Now what she always did admire,
And 1t was all her hearts desire,
Was when she die that she might meet.
Her friends and kindred all to greet.
There on that bright and f1owerg mount.
To drink forever from the fOunt
Where flower from Gods eternal throne
the sweetest water ever Known.
Oh sister thou art gone to bliss.
And thy fond presence now we miss
But thou art free from toll and pain,
And we shall shortly meet again.
Children, you need not drop tear
Sisters you have no need to fear,
Nav rather meet and all rejoice
That she has heard that welcome voice.
She was among the faithful few,
Who from the other church withdrew
She helped our editice TO rear
And was a faithful member there,
Her contributions all were paid
Width what her honest hands had made
No blemish on her could be found,
Until we laid her IN the ground
Among the patriarchs OF fame
We now insert her hOn0red name;
She finished three score years and ten
And have obtained her rest amen,

About Aunts.

An Aunt is not to be found on
every bush. The ignorant may
probably suppose that the quality of
Auntness inheres in every sister of a
parent. In form, possibly; but in
substance, not necessarily by any
means. An Aunt is being who can
only exist for children. Grown per-
sons cannot (unless they are child
like) have real Aunts. For those who
can the Aunt is delightful parsonage
who has all the merits of mother, but
in a more exalted degree and none of
those effects of harshness, discipline,
infection, peremptoriness and the like,
that SO often and sadly mar the
natural sweetness of the filioparental
relation. The Aunt, you see, can
permit, but cannot forbid. She is a
beautifed mother. And any person
claiming to be an Aunt, and falling
short Of these attainments, is an i'm
postor.- Weekly Star.

The Stork.

Storks are birds with very long
legs. They know great deal more
than most birds, and always appear
to be watching to see what people
think of them. They seem to know
a kind person at once. In Germany
and Holland, every year brings the
stork. They build their great, rough
nests on the tops of houses and Chin
neys, and become so tame that they
play with the children in the streets.
They are very kind to each other, and
if one happens to be sick or lame,
the young storks especially are very
polite and kind in bringing the sick
one food, and they can be seen stand
ing on one leg for long time, wink
ing their eyes, and turning their
wise heads toward their sick friend.
Like a good many wealthy people,
the storks 60 to warm climate in the
winter Their favdrite place of re-
sort is Egypt, and while they are
passing the winter there, they make
themselves useful, if they are not
ornamental, by cleaning the streets
and eating up garbage and dirt,
where the people are too lazy to clean
their own streets, A full-grown
stork is about as tall as a boy nine
or ten years old.

Quickly Settled.

A Yorkshire butcher married wife,
and went away for week on a honey
moon tour. On his return home, the
first thing he did was to put his wife
into the scales and weigh her. Then,
taking out his account book, he di-
vided the expense of the wedding and
the journey by the weight of the bride.
"Eh, lass" said he, "thou'st cost
me fourteen pence ha'penny apound.

The Little Rat and the Great

"What makes you call Annie a
little rat, grammar" said Bobby, in
his slowest drawl. She was. q good,
patient grandma, and took the baby
girl on her knee to wipe her face and
put on a clean bib.
"Well, Bobby, twas because she

A good many years ago, when I
lived in Newport, grandpa bought a
barrel of nice molasses, such as we
used in those days great deal. The
very first time | went down to draw
some, there was great rat sitting on
the barrel, dipping his tail in the
bunghole, and getting it all covered
with molasses. Then he drew the
tail through his mouth. Now wasn't
that like baby Annie!'
ooh, my!" said Bobby, ~ should
think it was! What did you do,
grandma? Was you 'fraid?"
"Not very much; but l couldn't
kill him, so | called grandpa and he
shot him." "But you wouldn't let
anybody shoot our nice, clean baby,
would you, grandma?-not even if
she was awful naughty" and Bobby
Rugged her till she squealed "almost
as loud as real rat" he said.

Lullaby.

Through Sleepy Land doth a river flow.
On Its further bank white daisies grow;
And snow white sheep In woolly floss,
Must, one, be fcrricd across.
In little boat they safely ride
To the meadows green, on the other side.
Lullaby, sing lullaby!
The boatman comes to carry the sheep
In his little boat to the Land of Sleep
Upon his head Is poppy wreath;i
His eyelids drop, and his eyes beneath
Are drowsy from counting, zone two, three"
How many sheep doth the baby see?
Lullaby, sing Lullaby
One little sheep has gone over the streem;
They press to the bank. How eager they seem!
Two little sheep along the Shore
Only two sheep, but he's bringing one more;
Three little sheep, in the flowery fields
Cropping the grass which Sleepy Land yields,
Lullaby, sing lullaby
-Four little, five little sheep now are over;
Six little, seven little sheep in the CLOVER
Deep in the honey clover they stand
Eight little, nine little sheep, now they land;
Ten, and eleven, and twelve little Sheep
And baby, herself, is gone with them, to sleep!
Lullaby, sing lullaby

A True Cat Story.

A lady going to her home one chill
autumn evening, heard in the mud
and rushes near the road, the faint
whining of young kitten. She was
very lonely. She had lost her hus-
band and baby. She lived in a little
room and sewed for living. She
listened, but it was dark, and the cry
could not quite guide her, SO she
went to house to beg some matches.
"What goose" someone will say
but sorrow is wonderful teacher.
A dead baby's remembered cry,
made the little Kittens whine a
prayer to this tender, bereaved
mother. You need not think that only
human beings pray-every thing that
can voice its agony makes its plea to
God for pity, and the beetle or worm
suffers as keenly in its small frame,
as does the elephant when he dies.
She came with her matches, and
struck one after another, seeking I'M
til she found the poor little thing,
which, with blind eyes, all mud-be-
slimed, had climbed up a small shrub,
and chung like a lizard to its stem.
She carriad it home, washed it clean,
made sucking bottle, and gave it
warm milk, nursed and cared for it
for weeks. Then she moved away to
where three little boys lived with their
mother. The lady got room in the
house, and boarded with the family.
All laughed at her pet, it was so
scrawny and ugly, but how she loved
it. She would say, "Where is
mammy's child" and the little mite
would run and climb frantically up
on her dress, and cuddle under her
chin, and demonstrate its love in
way few human beings could excel,
with all our power of speech. "Chip-
py," as she called him, began all of
a sudden to show he was a beauty;
his hair grew soft and downy, his
pretty eyes would light up, and he
would roll a ball and play nicely.
But Chippy was not common cat;
he had been saved for purpose, and
that purpose did not seem to play and
amuse himself, but to console his
mistress. He would mount the win
dow sill in front of the sewing ma
chine and watch her work. Some
times, when left alone, she would put
her head down and cry over her loss,
and sob aloud. Then Chippy would
walk on the machine and whine and
cry until she would take her in her
arms; then he would rub his head on
her cheeks, to wipe the tears off, and
make little balls of his feet, draw
ing in his claws, and put them on her
face, each side, and kiss her on the
lips, and purr as if he said: cam l
not here; did you not save my life,

Words of Wisdom.
Death fOreseen never comes.
 A fool is always beginning.

Death fOreSeen never comes.
 A fool is always beginning.
 A hungry man is an angry man.
 New meat begcts new appetite.
 An ounce of heart is worth ton of culture.
 When two quarrel, both are in the wrong.
 The liar is sooner caught than the cripple,
 A mans own business does not defile his fingers.
 Change yourself and fortune will change with you.
 Be punctual and methodical in business, and never procrastinate.
 Be not forward to assign reasons to those who have no right to ask.
 Act asif you expected to live q hun dred years but might die tomorrow.
 The easiest labor is burden to him who has no motive for perform ing it.
 You get more than the value of what ever you give in exchange for learning.
 The true use of speech is not so much to express our wants as to con- seal them.
 Some of the brightest lights go out in consequence of using borrowed oil.
 Vanity is crGned selfishness which is ever exacting homage, but never paying any.
 The man who has never known ad- versity is but half acquainted with himself.
 The world does not owe you liv- ing young man. You owe it the duty of labor,
 X man of independent mind shows his independence by the way he treats old subjects.
 Dost thou love life, then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.
 It is the cultivation of the moral side of our natures that has given to our people as n nation their strength and grand strides.
 Sacrifice being the essential basis of virtue, the most meritorious virtues are those which are acquired with the greatest effort.

direction. They are like fishermen who bob for cod in trout brook, or start a-whaiing on an island pond.
 There are some men who are side tracked for life at their very birth. They are born into mesh of circum- stances from which there is no ex- trication. Of course it is easy enough to say that man, like water, will always find his level; but it's hard for water to rise plumb with it's fountain head when confined in an underground pipe. It would have been difficult for Shakespeare to assert his claim to immortality if he had been born in Patagonia, and we would never have heard of Plato if he had first seen the light in Scythia. To say nothing of the hereditary in fuences that mold the unborn man, the environment of the young hu- mans infancy usually shapes and di- rects his dertiny so irrevocably that only men of the strongest will and the toughest mental and physical fiber can ever counteract the im- petus given them in childhood Yankee Blade.

 Where Do Flies Go in Winter,

Some one has asked. Where do flies go in winter?" This is ques- ton of some interest, for house fly is born fully grown and of mature size, and there are no little flies of the same species, the small ones oc- occasionally observed being different in kind from the larger ones. The house fly does not bite or pierce the skin, but gathers it's food by comb or rake or brush-like tongue, with winch 1t is able to scrape the varnish from covers of books, and thus it tickles the skin of person upon whom it alights to feed upon the per spiration. A fly is scavenger and is vehicle by which courageous diseases are spread. It poisons wounds and may carry deadly virus from decaying organic matter into food. It retires from the sight at the beginning of the winter, but where it goes few persons know. If a search of the house be made they will be found in great numbers se- cretcd in warm places in the roof or between the partitions of floors. Last winter we had occasion to examine a roof, and found around the chim- neys myrads of flies Alternating comfortably and sufficiently lively to fly when disturbed in "overpowering clouds. No doubt this is favor ite winter resort for these creatures. - Boston Globe.

Men Who Get Side.Tracked.

Perhaps the most numerous class of men who got side-tracked are those who start in life in an Occupa- tion for which they have no natural aptitude. There are thousands of farmer hoys who never should remain on the farm-the loud protestations of the agricultural press to the con trary notwithstanding. There are doubtless men who make life busi- ness of stirring the soil when they ought to be stirring the senate; and, on the contrary, perhaps there are men who are trying to stir the senate who ought to be stirring the soil.
 Good business men are frequently spoiled to make poor preachers and there are many large and heavy law yers who would make ideal black smiths; and there are some slender and upsuocossfui blacksmiths with the keen logical brain and the shrewd masterful mind of the lawyer. Such men are side.tracked for life, unless there is some great event crosses their track, such as crossed the track of Grant the teamster, or Cromwell the country squire. But no doubt there are many Grants who always team, and many Cromwells who will never leave the farm. There are lsany men who start out in life, like hunters, on the wrong trail They never bring down their game because their game has gone off in another

Yellow Fever and a Love Story

The Washington Post gives this love and yellow fever episode:
 The proposition that all the world loves lover probably does not hold good in Jacksonville now. This whole yellow fever business is love affair, or the result of a love affair. McCor- mick, the man who brought the vel low fever to Jacksonville, was a lover. His sweetheart was in Tampa, and Tampa was isolated on account of yellow fever. But yellow fever or no yellow fever. Mccormick wanted to see his girl, so he managed to pass the cordon and steal an interview with his love. Then he came back tn Jacksonville, and brought the yello Y fever with him. Surgeon-Gcn, ral Hamilton is authority for this short history of the spread of yellow fever. It is another confirmation of the wis dom of the sage who once declared that there was a woman at the bot tom of every mischief.

The jug is most singular utensi'. A pail, tumbler. or dccantcr can be rinsed, and you can satisfy yourself by optical proof that it is clean; but the jug has only hole in the top, and the interior is all darkness. Nc eye penetrates it; no hand moves over the surface. You can clean it only by putting in water, shaking it up, and pouring it out, If the water comes out clean, yon judge you have succeeded in cleaning the jug, and vice versa. Hence the jug is like the human heart. No mortal can ever look into it's recesses, and you can only judge of it's purity by what comes from it. .[-Anonymous.

TIE PARIS EXrOsITIoN-ITs MAG- NITrDE.-It is expected that the total number of exhibitors from all coun- tries will reach 30,00O: it is estimat- ed that l2 ,000, ,000 persons will enter the grounds and buildings. Some idea of the magnitude of the exhibi- ton may bo gained from the fact that the total area of buildings and en- closed grounds which is to be lighted ny electricity is 3,000,00 square feet. The space allotted to the United States is about 75, ,0O0 square feet. An'exhibit from this country fully equal to that of 1878 is expect ed, and it is hoped that it will be much larger. There are numerous lines of industry that need new mar kets for their goods, and this eXhibi- ton will afford them an opportunity for foreign display.
 All of the European countries eX- cept Germany take an interest in the exposition, and will make displays. The South American republics and Mexico will also take g particularly active part, as well as Japan.
 The usual awards of medals and diplomas will be made, but the details as to this have not yet been deter mined. d.-N. |. Mail and Express.
