MISCELLANEOUS.
WHEN DAY is DONE.

When day is done the robins sing
Their dulcet vesper lays;
When day is done the black bats wing
Through all the dusky ways;
The crickets blow their fiageolets
More loudly than by day,
The crystal dew steals forth and vets
Each blossom-bell and spray.
When day is done the western skies
Become a sea OF gold,
And holy, countless stars arise
And pierce Heavens curtain-foldi
The low winds sing lullaby
And rock the flowers to sleep
The moon climbs up the eastern sky,
And bridges DER the deep.
When day is done the mother lays
Her babe upon her breast
And while h9reams OF other days
Slow sings Il unto rest.
When day is done the shepherd leads
The lambs home TO the fold;
When day is done our labor needs
Our willing fingers hold.
When day is done the toilers com
With weary feet and slow,
Unto the peacefulness OF home,
Where life's best pleasures flow.
When day is done-life's little day,
Which ends SO quickly here,
God grant our weary feet may stray
Unto his pastures dear.

DON'T RUN ACCOUNTS.
A Bad Habit In which Women Are
Prone to Indulge.

A Bad Habit In Which Women Are
Prone to Indulge.
Never, II you can help it, open an ac-
count at any shop. Womanis prone to
do this thing, and often does not realize
how her account has been growing UNI
til she finds she has an incon-
veniently large bill to pay. 1t is very
easy and exceedingly pleasant to select
the dainty belongings you so much like
and have them charged, but after you
have used them you will find it difficult
to realize they cost so much. Most
women have had this experience. The
bill comes in, you are not ready to meet
it, and you think you will borrow the
money from friend. You do. so and
you pay it; but remember that nothing
will so surely break friendship as the
clink Of money coming from lender to
borrower. 1t would be much
better to go to the head of
the firm to which you owe the
account, tell him the state of the case
and announce how much you can pay
on your account now and when the bal
ance. Avoid borrowing money. II Is
true there are times when, because of
long illness or some other cause, the
borrowing of money becomes abso-
lutely necessary; in which case bend all
your energies to the prompt payment
of the debt, denying yourself every
luxury until 1t is accomplished. No
matter how little you may be able to
lay aside, at least acquire the habit Of
saving something. for the habit is the
first step that counts in the care for the
rainy day. 1t is hard to be compelled
to feel that there is so much that one
can not afford, but try to fully realize
its truth. View the stern fact calmly
and courageously and IL will lose half
its terrors. Do not talk over your
money affairs with your wealthier
friend-you may not mean 1t, but 1t
will seem to her quiet request for
help, and such habit is demoralizing,
and will soon drive your friends from
you. Brooklyn Eagle
