MY MOTHERS HYMN.

Ny Mothers Hymnl hear it now,
AS through the trees above her home,
The night wind whispering soft and low,
Like angel music seems to come,
And wait upon my ravished ear
In strains as from the harps OF gold.
And seraph voices sweet and clear
The hymn she sung so oft of old
How many times my hands have pressed
For her the throbbing organ keys
To that dear tune she loved the best.
Sweetest OF sacred melodies.
And as 1 struck Wards" well-loved chords,
far-of look came to her eyes,
Her sweet voice trembling through the words
"How blest the righteous when he dies"
How blest the righteous, OIL how blest,
When freed from earthly toll and pain,
The spirit leaves the expiring breast,
With Christ forever more to reign.
So fades a summer cloud away
So sinks the gale wIien storms are o'er;"
So sped her soul, at close of day,
To loved ones on the other shore
And when we laid her form away
No more tn greet our mortal eyes,
We sung to Ward" above her clay:
"How blest the righteous when he dies"
-Essie NJ Howell, in Good Housekeeping.

Farming in China.

A farmer in China may be hired by the
year for from s. to S14, with food, clothing,
head shaving and tobacco. Those who work
by the day receive from 8 to 10 cents, with
monday meal. At the planting and harvest
ing of rice wages are from 10 to 20 cents a
day, with five meals, or 30 cents day with
out food Few land owners hire hands, ex-
cept few days during the planting and har-
yesting of rice. Those who have more land
than they and their SONS can till lease it to
their neighbors Much land is held on leases
given by ancient proprietors to clansmen
whose descendants now till it, paying from
81 to s14 worth of rice annually for its use.
Food averages little more than 81 month
for each member of farmers family. One
who buys, cooks and eats his meals alone
spends from Sl5O to 50 a month upon the
raw material and fuel Two pounds OF rice,
costing 81 cents, with relishes of salt fish,
picked cabbage, cheap vegetables and fruits,
costing x cents, is the ordinary allowance
to each laborer for each day. Abernethys
advice to a luxurious patient, Live on six
pence day and earn it" is followed by near
Iy every Chinaman. One or two dependent
relatives frequently share with him the six
pence.-San Francisco Letter.

Cat and Dog.

Some authors write with correctness, but
lack the art of making their work readable,
while others, like the writer Of the following
composition, violate the rules Of grammar,
but manage never to be dull:
"If there's no trees just around the dog
gets the cat in the corner of door or two
brick walls. Then the cat makes her body
twice as big as what is flesh and bone by
standing her hairs up strate, and she splta
and sneezes all over the dog, so he can't see
what he's doing Of Then while e'sclearin' his
ewes bit she scratter him in the nose, which
you know, of all parts of the dogs flesh, its
nose has got the httlest skin over it. You
might say there is no skin, only bit OF meet.
The dog feels just es if he was cought with
fishing hook, and he runs right away a-think-
ing to hisself as he thought the cat was
little one, when he seeit in the yard. YouShs'

tarred and feathered old Jason Mitchell, and
then rode him on rail Instead of resenting

This puzzled the boys very much until the

THE CoCKROACH.
An Unwelcome Importation from the
Sunny Lands of Asia.

An UnwelcOme Importation from the
Sunny Lands of Asia.
Comparatively few people know that
this familiar of the kitchen is not by
any means native of these chimes.
1t is an importation from the warm
and sunny lands of Asia, brought over,
perhaps, something like two centuries
ago. The first arrivals must have
reached this country AS stowaways on
board ship, and finding themselves in
congenial surroundings. they multi
piled apace. Now they seem almost
everywhere, but for long time after
they swarmed in the kitchens of town
houses they were unknown in the
country. No doubt if they had been
natives of a similar climate they would
have quickly reached even remote vii
lagos, out they fortuna ely have deli
cate constitutions and can not stand
exposure to cold. Many people must
have noticed that it is only in hot
summer weather that they are seen
far away from the warmth of the
kitchen fire. 1t is this need for high
temperature which causes them to
concentrate where it is most constant
Iy maintained. Cool larders and pam
tries are comparatively secure against
their attacks. in spite of the fact that
they would find better fare therein
than the crumbs and particles upon
the kitchen floor. Their common de-
scription as horrible black beetles"
is curious misnomer. They are not
black. nor are they beetles; the only
part of the description which is at all
applicable to them is the epithet ''hor-
lble. " with which few will quarrel

Witchcraft in Germany.

A farmer in Germany lost several
head of cattle within few months, and
his family agreed that this could only
be the result of witchcraft, exercised
by neighbor with whom they were
not on friendly terms. A miller from
the vicinity. famed for his power over
evil spirits, was consulted, and ordered
the doors to be painted with certain
ointment. The evil-doer, he said
would be he first person to enter
thereafter, and could only be kept from
further mischief by having his or her
nose squeezed between the door and
the jamb until the member was
crushed The first person who entered
was the neighbours wife, who was
duly captured, and who, though the
attempt at crushing her nose was I'M
successful. received some serious
wounds on the head in her attempt to
escape her torturers. Chicago Times.

CRUEL CHILDREN.
Living Testimonials to the Truth of the

Living Testimonials to the truth OF the
Doctrine of Original Sin.
In the gradual development there is
always a sense of pleasure in the ex-
ercise of power, but this pleasure has
to be subordinated to the good OF So
ciety; and this is one of the first nee
essary steps to successful social growth
So the young boy who is, even among
us, more frequently cruel than sympa-
thetic, may go through period of bull
lying. etc, to become refined and
sympathetic man, full Of generous i'm
pulses. l say this is the ordinary
method, but, as might he expected.
some boys never become kindly, and
some. instead, grow from cruel to
brutal, and end as social pests 1t is
supposed that the lower animal, es-
pecially the carniyora, are pleased
with the torture they cause, but doubt
if this is the only Interpretation OF the
treatment of the mouse by the cat and
of his victim by the lion. There
are children who infict torture

Thus have known d child of tender
wears begin by pulling off the wings OF
flies, then proceed to bake frogs, and
next take birds and bore out their
ewes. and later still try to iniure any
child who might fall into his power.

and dogs to death, or set light to them.
