BE CHEERFUL.-"You find yourself
refreshed by the presence of cheerful
people; why not make earnest efforts
to confer that pleasure on others? You
will find half the battle is gained if
you never allow yourself to say any
thing gloomy" We were recently inn
pressed by the above wholesome re-.
mark at most opportune season. A
Christian was bemoaDing the sad con-
dition of affairs. Nothing was right
in the church or out of it. The crops
We're failing; the financial outlook OF
the country was most unpropitious /;
the weather was most unfavorable to
health and as he spoke his very face
reflected q continual prophecy OF i'll
and mental disturbance. The worst
feature of all was that at the very mo-
ment that he INDUCED these feelings
he stood before all unbelieving world
as the representative of q religion that
seeks to fill the soul with 'joy un-
speakable and full of glory" He not
only rendered himself miserable by
fruitless repinings, but he caused 9TH
ers 10 stumble through his gloomy
forebodings, instead of ministering to
their highest god. In whatever light
we view such conduct, we must see
how utterly at variance it is with the
Christian state.
Sons of God Heirs to an eternal
mansion ! Let us cultivate cheerful
ness Verify, it is the way to show
our kinship with the saints in light.

DO you want to keep your skin nice
all summer? Well, then, here are
some rules for you:
Don't bathe in hard water soften il
with a few drops of ammonia or a lit
tie borax.
Don't bathe your face while it il
warm and never use very cold water
for it.
Don't wash your face when you are
travelling unless it is with little alco
hol and water, or little vaseline.
Don't attempt to remove dust with
cold water Give your face a hot bath
using plenty of good soap; then give
it thorough rinsing with water that
has had The chill taken off it.
Don't rub your face with a coarse
towel. Just remember it is not made
of cast iron, and treat it as you would
the finest porcelain, gently and deli
cately.
DON'T Use sponge or linen rag fol
your face. Choose instead a flannel
one.

Not happiness, but service, is wor.
thy object of human endeavor. Not
what will give us delight, but what
will advantage others, ought to be the
aim of our strivings. 1t is great mis-
take. even though it be very com
mon one, to suppose that he who does
best in this life is happiest here. at
is not true" says the historian Fraude
that goodness is Synonymous with
happiness. The most perfect being
who ever trod the soil of this planet
was called the Man of Sorrows. L
happiness means absence of care and
inexperience Of painful emotion, the
best securities for it are hard heart
and a good digestion" Living fol
happiness is living for ourselves ; anC
living for ourselves is sure to be fail

Be sure that you so ACT and speak
and live that all men shall know thai
you are on the Lords side. A very
brilliant career may be obscured by
lapses and follies further on. The ca
reer of Solomon was conspicuous eX'
ample of this. His early life, his
memorable choice, his zeal for the
house of the Lord, his proverbs, many
of them most sagacious and deeply re-
ligious, and especially his memorable
prayer at the dedication of the temple,
all seem to indicate that he was re.
generate man but his subsequent ca
reer casts such a shadow upon his char.
acter that men are at loss where to
classify him. 1t is sad thought that
such a brilliant opening may 60 out in
darkness; but it should at least teach
us the lesson Of human frailty, and
that no man is secure however exalted
his position and however great his wis
dom, if he parleys with evil or ven.
lures OH forbidden ground.

Nothing TO Show.

Nothing TO Show.
My day has all gone"-'twas woman who
AS she turned her face to the sunset glow
And | have been busy the whole day long;
Yet for my work there is nothing to show
No painting nor sculpture her hand had
wrought;
No laurel fame her labor had won.
What WAS she doing lit all the long day,
With nothing to show ut set OF the sun ?
What was she doing? Listen; I'll tell you
What she was doing III all the long day;
Beautiful deeds too many to number;
Beautiful deeds in beautiful way
Womanly deeds that woman may do,
TrifieS that only woman can sec,
WELDING power unmeaSured, unknown,
Wherever the light Of her presence might
be.
She had rejoiced with those who rejoiced,
Wept with the sad, and strengthened the
And a poor wanderer, straying In sin,
She In compassion had gone forth to seek.
Unto the poor her aid had been given,
Unto the weary the rest OF her home;
Freely her blessings to others were given,
Freely and kindly to all who had come.
Humbly and quietly all the long day
Had her sweet service for others been done;
Yet for the labor Of heart and OF hand
What could she show at set of the sun?
All, she forgot that our Father In heaven
Ever is watching the work that we do,
And records He keeps OF all we forget!
Then judges our work with Judgment that $
true.
The beautiful deeds that all do below,
Though nothing she had at The set Of the sun,
The angel above had something to show.

GOING IN DEBT.-The writings Of
Benjamin Franklin should have n
place in every young mans library, if
for no other reason, for the sake OF
'soundness and pointedness of such
counsel rs this: "Think-think what
you do when you GO in debt; you give
to another power over your liberty. If
you cannot pay at the time, you will
be ashamed to see your creditor; you
will be in fear when you speak to him,
you will make poor, pitiful, sEcaking
excuses, and by degrees come to lose
your veracity, and sink into base,
downright lying; for the second vice
is lying, the first is running into debt,
as Poor Richard says and again. to the
same purpose, Lying rides upon Debts

.4merican Ardihator and Messenger Of Peace.
\ few years ago Hannah w. Black
burn, of Zanesfield, Ohio, proposed to
the Women's Christian Temperance
Union, of Ohio, to add a Peace depart
ment to the various other important
departments of work which that grand
organization already had in hand.
rhe plan was adopted by the Ohio W..
G. IT. u, and the mover placed at the
head of it. Subsequently the National
w. G. n. U. added Peace department
to their work, and placed Hannah j.
Bailey, of Winthrop Center, Maine, at
the head of it, a position she is well
adapted to fill. Several of the State
organizations and many Local Unions
now have Peace departments, and are
doing large amount of valuable work.
A request was sent out from National
headquarters that the first Sabbath in
June should be observed as Peace Day,
and that ministers of the gospel of all
denominations be requested to preach
on the subject. AS the gospel is gos-
pei Of Peace, and Christ is the Prince
Of Peace, this was altogether proper,
for no minister can preach a full gospel
if this phase of it is omitted, as it is
done by many of the professed ambas-
sadors Of the PRINCE of Peace. TO
what extent this request was complied
with we have no means of knowing.

his character, his reputation and his

not get his pay, the buyer is likely to
hold on to his purchase.

What Others Say.

Il. ID.
TYPE-SETTERs.- Occasionally print
ers see and hear some of the rough
things said about them. Having some
pride of office they naturally feel re-
sentiment; but they have no means of
redress unless once in a while q COM
positor or editor takes up the gauntlet
for them. We understand printers
better than formerly. Even the "dev-
il"-though not yet transformed into
an angel-has grown upon Our esteem.
IT may be sympathy-we don't know.
We think we understand them better
and they us. They have much to
bear. When a man sends y pages of
almost indecipherable manuscript,
with dozen misspelt words, and TIM
idly asks the Editor to keep him from
being "butchered by the printer" it is
-well-to put it mildly, it is a case Of
defamation Recently a correspon-
dent-of whom we have heretofore ell
er,ained a very high opinion-strove
70 rend the friendship existing in this
establishment between its different oc-
cupants, by calling the compositor Il
hard name in letter to the assistant
editor-fortunately it did not reach the
plinter-when forsoolh, this very scribe

We have suffered at the hands of print
ers. and do yet occasionally. But read
ing manuscripts brings gentleness to-
ward their faults that we never expect
ed to have. TO be serious, we want to
say that concerning typographical er-
rors many critics are foolish. They
are frequently such errors as amount
to nothing and are never thought of a
minute afterwards. Contributors have
Il right to expect accuracy; and when
one of the editors is in, the proof-read-
ing is usually properly done. The
proof-reader is the man to do battle
with. Proof-reading is an art and has

secular papers are not so accurate as re-
igious papers. We hope to "appre-

" Woman's Chronicle"

This plucky and outspoken little paper, which
is published at Little Rock, Ark, U. S. A., has an
article on "Gentle Woman" which brings heavy
charges against our sex. 1t says, "Women do
not love one another" and on this text some dam
aging illustrations are drawn from the mill or fac
tory, the schooroom, the home, the shop, &c.
We frankly admit that there is too much truth in
it; women do not in any country stand by each
other as they ought. But we maintain that far
from this being natural characteristic, it is onv
the outcome of their external conditions of sub
lection, and OF their lives of isolation 1t is well
known in history that slaves cannot combine. and
are incapable, by the conditions of their lives.
from mutual support or collective action. Proofs
OF the correctness of our view may be found
everywhere, but chiefly in this-the narrower the
life conditions of an individual are, the less is the
power OF cooperation and sympathy, and the
wider the life conditions the stronger is the power
OF collective action and organization. Thus the
life OF Board school-teacher, as a rule, is ex-
tremely narrow. She has time for nothing but her
code and her school, and perhaps no class of
women show less good feeling for each other. or
less solidarity as body than the Board school
mistresses. On the other hand let one of these
same Board schoolteachers travel, see life and
people in all its aspects, and she will easily be-
come WIDER ana more generous in her sympathies
and unite herself with Others for the purpose Of
furthering some special end. This is the power Of
cooperation, organization, or combined action
which we OF insular prejudice find it difficult. but
not by any means impossible, to learn.-Woman,s
Penny Paper.

the management of the WOMAN CHRONICLE, whose
office is situated on the corner of Second and

the first to call and wish us success were Miss
Kate Cunningham, the editor of The CHRONICLE
and her associate, Mrs Mary B. Brooks We are
proud of The CHRONICLE, and douby proud of the
earnest, Woodworking women who are running it,
They are making an excellent paper, and one
which can only result in good to those who read it,
1t is now in its third volume, as bright and fresh
as daisy, and is the peer of any woman's pa
