Need of Sunshiny Women

What q godsend is q merry, light hearted little woman in a home What a welcome guest she is, what a loved and cherished friend, There are some lives which seem continu- ally surrounded by halo of gladneS and glory. There are others which are forever groping in sadness and gloom; yet the keenest observer can see no difference in the surroundings of the two, or why one should be bright and cheerful and the other is depressed and miserable; why one seems to catch all the glory while the other rests under the cloud.
 It is not our purpose to enter into the why's and wherefores of either case, but rather to speak of the de- plorable neglect of duty on the part of the latter. Surely if larger per cent. of the womanhood of the land recognized the necessity of being cheerful under all circumstances there would he fewer wrinkles on young brows, fewer meanings over imaginary woes, and less sadness among others on our account. 1t IS our duty to cultivate sunshine i'll our lives for our own sakes. We all know that worry not work fills the cemeteries worry that makes us worn, haggard and faded long before the prime of life is reached. and wor- ry that distorts the God-given imag- nation until it is capable of formula ting only cruel, false and selfish i'm ages. It is q duty that we owe to others. No one has the right to screen another from Gods blessed sunlight by casting a cloud over the sphere III when that one moves, ana this We do every time we allow our depressed feelings to betray them selves. One gloomy person in a cir cle necessarily-though often umcon- sciously-depresses the whole party. One moody member of the house. hold throws a shadow over the en- tire home circle.
 It is duty we owe to our Maker. God. do not believe that when he allotted to woman as well as to man three score and ten years. that he meant for her to lie down in the grave ere half that time was lived.

Life's School.

Have won ever considered dear reader. that you are daily pupil in the school of life, with experience TOT vour teacher. and the world for your ouide; and that. after you have passed through your collegiate course. your life school has just coih- menced? We are all trained Ill world of discipline, action and duty -prisoners of divine justice, and. come what may. we must succnmh t" its rules and laws. There may h1 some cxccptionablc ease. some '|" names omitted from the roll, but the majority of multitude must respond to it's call.
 We do not all receive our good marks in this world, though rigldly derserved. nor can our frall judgment question the reason. Why is it that some are obliged to suffer less, toll less. and endure less hardships than other. that some obtain so much joy, while others are compelled to tread the paths of sorrow, having innumer- able trials impelling their progress onward; Does the law of compen- sation deal justly? or do some Of us require such discipline for the proper development of man and womanhood: As stars shine brighter the darker the night. so with hidden virtues of individuals, they frequently require the shadows to protect them.
 Take fresh courage, Respondent one. Let hope. with her silken wing, illume your pathway, and become the support of your life; for, if your schemes and plans foil. 1t IS an anchor; and you will find pleasure in indulging in it's alluring hattery. , Do not despond. However rough and uneven the crossings of your life on earth may seem. you must look. forward to q pleasant harbor at the termination of your journey. lou will then be repaid for all obstrac- tions. We are walking in the dark ness now, but then we shall see clearness. We can take a glance III the mirror of the past, and notice that we have often taken the wrong path. The present is hastily glanced at. but the mirror of future no eye can gaze ill. no hand can grasp. but the hand of time. He alone holds the key, and will unlock the door. Meanwhile you must cultivate faith, trusting that your darkness will be light in the day of His appearing Selected.

Good Natured People.

Be good-natured if you can. for there is no attraction so great. no charm so admirable. A face that Is full of the expression of amlablllty IS always beautiful 1t needs nopaint and no powder. Cosmetlces are supcriluous for it. Its loyelineSS lies far beyond this. It is not the beauty that is skin deep. For when you gaze into the face of good-natured noble hearted man or woman, Is II not the shape of the features that you see, nor vet the tint of the cheek, the hue of the lip. or the brilliance of the eye; tyOu see the naneless something which animates all these. and leaves for your instinct sense grateful fascination. You see indcs- cribable embodiment of heartful goodness within. which wins your regard in spite of external appear ances. Cultivate good-nature there fore. It is better than apples of gold set in silver" for gold will take to itself wings and fly away; silver tarnish in tune; and both, when abundant, lose thcr comparative value; but good nature never deteri- orates in worth-nevcr abandons its possessor to the mental poverty of the malicious-never loses its hold upon the esteem of the world. It is always in fashion, and always in sea son. Everybody adlnires it. Every body praises it. Everybody k in love with it. It never grows stale. It costs little to acquire, and nothing to keep. Yet it is beyond diamonds in it's worth to it's owners, and can neither be stolen or lost, however neglected. Surely this is q jewel that merits search, and, when found. merits protection.

What about the other half unlived! i! Will she not be held responsible for If if the little cares and yeXations of ! life are allowed to overcome life! It seems a serious question. and de- serves our most careful and prayful consideration. l do not mean to leave the impression that all life s burdens may be thrown so lightly aside. Experience teaches differ ently. It is not of life's deep and real sorrows that l speak; rather et the little everyday occnrances winch we allow to so dignify themselves that they become mountains which we have no faith to remove. Joy will come to our bidding just as quickly as will sorrow, if we will only open our hearts to her, make her welcome and bid her stay. It will not then be long ere her influence over us will illumine not our lives only but the lives of all with whom we come in contact.
 What a great need there is for sunshiny women, women who can take up life's burden, however heavy it may be. and go smiling beneath 1t, dispensing gladness and pleasure all around. How much brighter would be our homes in the eyes of father, brothers, husband and sons, did we each realize the necessity of being cheerful from sense of duty. Dear sisters, let us, we who have felt the burden laid upon our shoulders was of peculiar weight and heavy to be borne who have felt as if in our lives there was no sunshine, hence we could scatter none, let Us open our eyes to this sense of duty and force the sunlight to radiate and H. lumine our little world let us Take joy home,
 And make place in our sad hearts Tor htr,
 And give her time to grow, and cherish her, Then will she come and off will sing to Us When we are working in the furrows, aye or weeding in the sacred hour of dawn,

Two Kinds of Boys.
NJ. MCRAE LACKEY

The plain, awkward boy always stands in great awe of the handsome and graceful boy. The dapper a graceful, trim, 1.-the youngster, who gildes about among the nine graces, who knows how to lift his hat with all the grace of London dandy,and who twirls his cane like a Beau Brummel,-sucha one looks with a sort of refined horror upon the awk- ward boy, with much the same feel ing q bright American lad might look upon a young Hottentot.
 And the plain, studious, awkward boy looks upon his more graceful contemporary with feeling very much akin to envy. The awkward boy is at home in the barn. but an embarrassed foreigner in the parlor; he is graceful enough in the shed, but put him in the drawing-room and will fall over the chandelier. He Is as frightened as a deer at bay at a party. If some good old lady speaks to him he cannot find half-dOzen words out of the Ia ,000 in the dictionary | with which to answer her; and If a pretty glrl speaks to him, those half dozen take flight, and he stands as dumb as a sphinx, but immediately falls in love with her and nourishes a hopeless passion for the next ten days.
 The graceful boy has no such trouble. The old ladies whisper. ''How polite and gentmanly;' the young ladies are charmed everybody likes him socially; he is intensely popular.
 But there is no reason that the awkward boys need be discouraged. Smart boys are most always awkward. Sallow boys, as a general rule, are peaceful.
 In few years, when the awkward boy is walking or possibly riding, 1 down to his place of business, he will be very liable to pass his graceful rival of an early date carrying his dinner-pail to work. When he Is mayor, the graceful boy will come not half as graceful as in the old ! time-and ask him for chance to work on the streets. When the awk ward boy goes to congress-and awk- ward boys have way of getting ] there, his graceful chum may possi- ble aspire to become his private secretary, but it is probable that he will not even have arisen to such an estate as that The awkward boys have very graceful knack of rising in the ranks. Perhaps is the youth ful habit of stumbling about that en- ables them so often to stumble into our thirty-eight gubernatorial chairs, or into our White house.
 But this is not written to glorify awkwardness. Awkwardness Is per haps natual to the callowness of thoughtful youth, but a boy should get over it as he gets over the mea- sles. Youthful awkwardncss pro- iected into middle life sets as wretchedly as baby dressess on a full-grown man. Yankee Blade.

Give the Farmer a Chance.

Give the Farmer chance.
 Lack of confidence in each other. which comes from lack of business training. is the main reason why farmers are not more generally Y or ganiZcd into business associations. Secondly, business as at present managed has got the start of the farmers. But America owes debt to her soil-that is. American citi- zens do-and you and l are among her citizens. Our ancestors have robbed the soil by unscientilic farm ing But greater debt is due to the men our farms have produced, who have made their mark ill every department of life and done so much to build up the country and perpetu- ate its institutions. The cities have given few such men, and it is to farm training that America owes the greater part of her greatness. This debt can only be repaid by giving a fostering care to agriculture from both the state and nation. This can be done by relieving agriculture from laws that bear heavily upon it, by guarding it from unjust prospective laws, by regulating it's present un- just and unequal taxation, and by placing education within the reach of every member of the farming class
 The increase of family on the farm compared to the smallness of families or absence of children in the cities is another and most important reason why both state and nation should cultivate agriculture by all legitimate means. Abundant in- stances were cited to prove the truth of this claim. The very poor and the very rich soon become eX- tlnct, and the strongest, most num- erous and longest lived families are found living upon the best agricult- ural lands. If we make the homes of our farmers cheerful and comfort able. offering abundant nourishment for the body and food for the mind and make agriculture prosperous occupation, that shall afford reas- enable competence and good edu- cation. just so much will we enhance the power, strength and intelligence of the nation. But if we contract the comforts of the farmers home by reducing his income, by denying his children an education. ny lowering him in the social scale, just so much in proportion will we lower the tone of national prosperity.
 Industrial America, in the future as in the past, must look to the farm CTS rather than to the workshop or counting room for it's intelligent hu- man stock.- Dr, Geo. A. Bowen.
