Gods Work Must DC Done.

A distinguished General related this pa
thetic incident of bis own experience In our
civil war. The Generals son was lieu
tenant of battery. An assault was being
made. The father was leading his division
in a charge AS he pressed on in the field,
suddenly his eye was caught by the sight OF
O dead battery officer lying just before him.
One glance showed him it was his own son.
His fatherly impulse was to stop beside the
dear body and give vent to his grief; but the
duty of the moment demanded that he press
on in the charge So, quickly snatching one
hot kiss from the dead lips, he went on lead
ing his command in the assault.
So Aaron was summoned away from
grief to duty, and could not pause for any
mourning on the death of his two sons:
Usually the pressure is not SO intense, ana
we can pause longer to weep and do honor to
the memory Of our dead: yet the principle
is the same. God does not want us t. waste
our life in tears. We are to put our grief
into new energy of service, and it should
make lis more earnest, more useful. God S
work must not be allowed to suffer while we
stop to mourn. The fires must still he kept
burning on the altar, and the worship must
still 60 on. The work in the household IN
the store in the fed, must be taken up again
the sooner the better. This IS lesson we
need to learn we'll, that when shcck OF sor-
row comes, we nay not be paralyZed by II,
but may rise again at once and press on IN
the path of duty and appointed SERVICE

Ten years ago. says student, when an un'

nious woman whose husband was not Chris

another of fourteen, and a son OF ten. Every
morning, after breakfast, heard that hum

and read with them a chapter, verse
about in tho Bible Then, as l could not

Inauguration Expenditures.

The Inauguration of President Har-
risen cost q great deal of money. If the
weather had been fine instead of bad,
there would have been much more
money expended. The city, or q COM
mittee of citizens acting for the whole
country, spent about 500, 900 that was
contributed from all the States in pre-
parations for the inaugural celebration.
About $50, 900 visitors came to Wash
ington from distances varying from fifty
miles to 5000. The average cost of the
trip to each of the persons for fares alone
is estimated at $40, which would eat up
81, 500, 900, or put it in the pockets of
the railroads. If the visitors boarded at
the rate of $5 for the stay of two or
three days, they spent $3.50, 900 more,
all of which went into Washington
pockets. Then there were ball tickets
sold to the amount of $5S, 900, and two
thirds of them were undoubtedly sold to
strangers. Cars, cabs, carriages, stages,
restaurants, saloons, all collected money
as fast as they could render service and
collect, and they must have taken up
enormous sums. The celebration was

vanced prices to everybody; to dealers
IN cots and mattresses, who also ad-
vanced prices; to men who had chairs to
sell, and to lumber dealers, who were
willing to let lumber and timber go out
to be used in stands. The reviewing
stands and windows rented for the day
evidently repaid those who put up the
stands and released the windows. If the
cost of windows alone was estimated at
$4,000 block, which is very much too
low, the amount received from that
source for the length of the procession
must have been $50, 900. My impression
is it would prove to be nearer 500, 600,
for SOM i'oors were rented at $500, and
one ut least as high as $500 for the day.
If the sales of seats on the public stands
were estimated at 81 head, they GER
tainly brought into the SHAREHOLDERS
$40, But many seats sold as high
as s. when under cover, and back seats
brought 81 every where.-MsN lorG

WORDS OF WISDOM.

We may be ruined by the excessive use
of good things.
The greatest of fools is he who i'm
poses on himself.
There is always spotin our sunshine !;
it is the shadow of ourselves.
"Almost" is the difference between
the conscientious man and the liar.
If conscience smite thee once it is ad-
monition; if twice, it is condemnation.
Always hold fast to love. We win by
tenderness, and conquer by forgiveness.
When borrowing reaches the chronic
stage it also assumes the malignant
form.
Many men will work harder for a
days pleasure than they will fora weeks
wages.
The chains of habit are generally too
small to be felt till they are too strong
to be broken.
When q man has not a good reason for
doing thing, he has one good reason
for letting it alone.
The greatest pleasures often originate
in pain, and the worst pains usually
spring out of pleasures.
Only what we have wrought into our
character during life can we take with
us into the other world.
Silence is the softest response for all
the contradictions that arise from i'm
pertinence, vulgarity and envy.
Only in rare cases do people stumble
upon profitable success. We must work
for it and the work must be we'll di.

"After Your Boy"

During tho Christian Endeavor Convsn-
tion at Chicago, one Of the delegates a young
business man dressed in nattY rough-and-.
ready suit, every movement alert and eager
and telling Of bottled energy within, came
suddenly upon red.taced citizen M ts9 who ssI sv1-
Buttonholing the delegate q triae uncere'

"What are you fellows trying to do down
at the Battery! You are hot on temperance:

make temperance man of meF"
"No," replied the delegate, looking nim
over from head to foot with keen glance
slightly contsmptuous, "we evidently
couldn't do much with you, but we are after
your boy"
At this unexpected retort the man dropped
his iocular tone and said seriously: "Well,
guess you have got the right of 1t there. y

boy I should be better man to-day"

ISismarck's MaStifls.

One of the peculiarities of Herr Won
Bismarck has always been his extra
ordinary fondness for big dogs, carefully
trained to obey no one but himself. At
the tender age of eight years he had al.
ready for his favorite friend colossal
mastitf, who followed him from morn.
ing to night in his wanderings through
the domain his father owned in Pomer-
ania. When a student at Heidelberg,
and later, at Goettinbcrg, his faithful
companions were two enormous Dal-
matian dogs, who acted as his gardes-
du-corps. and made him eminently re-
spected wherever he went, as they had
been taught to growl threateningly as
soon as some angry discussion arose
around him.
One evening, as he was making merry
in boisterous company over the happy
issue of one of his due!s, he began
throwing full bottles of wine through
the inns window in the street. One OF
them struck the head of a serene
burgher, who was peacefully going his
way back to his "frau." Otto Won Bis
marck and his fellow-revellers yelled
with delight; but the incensed burgher,
covered with blood and Rhine wine,
ran to the house of the University's
Dean and entered O formal complaint
against Otto, whom he had identified at
the window. At daybreak Otto was
summoned before the Dean, and soon
made his appearance at the latter's door,
simply clad in his dressing gown, but
no lyod on either side bv his formidable
dogs.
'iHold on!'' exclaimed the trembling

every call of God or man, when they ought
to part with it freely and gladly, they are to

Finish What You Begin.

Nv old great grandmother Knox hid a
way of making Ter children finish their
work. If they began thing they had to
complete it. If they undertook to
build a cob-house, they must not leave it till
it was done; and nothing Of the work or play
to which they ct their hands would she al
low them to abandon incomplete. some
times wish had been trained in this way.
How much of life has been wasted in untin-
ished work? Many man u:es up his time
in splendid beginnings. The labor, devoted
to commence ten things and leave them use
less would finish five of them and make them
profitable and useful. Finish your work
