DON'T BLAME THE WORLD.


Don't blame the world because the thorns are
found among the roses;
The day that breaks in storm may be all sun
shine when it closes
We can nos hope 10 always meet with fortunes
fond careSsing,
And that which seems most hard to bear may
bring with it blessing.
The buried seed must rot in earth ere it pro-
duce the flower,
And the weak plant to fructify must have both
sun and shower;
So man, to gain development, must struggle
with life's crosses,
And view with calm philosophy his trials and
his losses.
a deadly, pois'nous weed may yield salve Of
surest healing;
The sweetest blossom may pois'nous be, al
though its bane concealing.
Things are not always what they seem, but still
twas Heaven designed them,
And we should class them all as good and take
them as we find them.
Little we know Of this brief life, and nothing Of
its sequel;
Then let us take in humble trust all that may
seem unequal.
Gods ways are not our ways, and He should
certainly be trusted
All that is wrong in His good time will surely
be adjusted.

LADIES AS SERVANTS.
Success of an Experiment Tried In an En-.
glish Family.

gllSh Family.
1t is so often said that the plan of ex.
gaging ladies as domestic servants does
not succeed that it is satisfactory tn
hear at least one case where the plan
has been tried most satisfactorily bv a
lady who has a domestic establishment
both in London and in the country.
The eternal servant question croppinp
up in a recent conversation with this
lady (writes lady representation. I
asked her how the plan of employing
educated women of the upper classes as
servants had answered. SIT has been
entirely successful" was the reply,
land my servants are now always ladies'.
l have one, housemaid, charming
girl, who is the daughter of medical
man, and all of whose male relations
are professional men, and who does her
work as thoroughly and as we'll as any
ordinary servant could be expected to
do it."
'Then you do not find that after the
glamor of novelty is worn off the lady
servants begin to find it rather unpleas-
ant to do menial work?" mot in the
least. If they are real ladies land it is,
of course, only in cases where they are
that it can succeed) they will know that
menial work does not lower them. Of
course, try to avoid giving them So
called dirty work as much as possible.
For instance, backing CRATES is very
unpleasant work, and very ungraeful
work, too, for the result is never lasting
and never particularly effective. l,
therefore, have only CRATES dec9s+sd
with tiles as much as possible, and with
the smallest part of ironwork requfing
backing. Again, in order to avoid
scrubbing, l have tho floors covered
with a material which only requires
wiping. A great many arrangements
can be made in this way to male house
work less hard and unpleasant and if
we, the mistresses, would only spend
little more thought on these matters l
am sure there would be fewer complaints
from and about servants.
''At the same time" the lady went
on, 81 always insisi on my servants full
filling every duty they have undertaken
w PSAAOA - OlIVJ OAiB w DAnOh IA
boots they have todo it, and do it regu-
larly and we'll. BIT this does not pre-
vent me from having them in my draw
ing-room after dinner, and playing
game of whist or any other game with
them. Their lives are, even under the
most favorable circumstances, rather
iaonotonous, and when we can put
little color and brightness into them l
think it is our duty to do it,"
Then, do they take their meals with
you, too?" "No; as rule l find that
they prefer to take their meals together
separately, and as they have to cook
and serve tho meals this is a more con-
venient arrangement. But otherwise I
treat them as equals, and have not
found that they abuse this treatment"

her intrigue, and had followed her lover
from their place of meeting and had shot
him down like dog within sight of his
camp. He had seen some soldiers come
out and carry the dead body off.
'Mary stood like marble statue list
ening to the horrible story.
God forgive your" she cried. "'You
have killed my brother, and broken my
heart.'
.''1t was only too true. Mary knowing
how strong Jack was for the Southern
cause had never told him about her
Union brother, but when the young Of
ticer was in the neighborhood the two
had secretly met several times.
Hunter fell on his knees and begged
forgiveness. He offered to kill himself
or do any thing that his wife demanded.
But Mary would not talk. She asked to
be let alone until morning, and locked
herself in her room. Poor Jack roamed
about in the woods all night, and in the
morning returned home, where he found
his wife waiting for him.
MARY looked at the mans haggard
face, and noticed his trembling limbs.
"'Jack, she said, you are as good
man as ever lived, but you have blightcd
my life by your mistake or crime. can
never love you again, but my heart is
full Of pity. Let us live here until God
calls US away. will try to do my duty,
but do not speak to me, for can not
answer you. Here is one kiss for our
old love, and now let us bear our sorrow
in silence until the spell is broken"
The Colonel threw himself into a
chair and sighed.
There is nothing more to tell" he
said. "Those two unfortunates have
not spoken to each other in twenty-five
years. They are kind and patient, but
l am afraid they will never como to-
gether. Jack was paralyzed just after
his great trouble, and his wife has been
very good to him in her way. Sad story,
isn't it?"-Wallace p. Reed, in Atlanta
Constitution.

A MODERN PARABLE.
They Who Smile Upon the World Shall
Grow in Beauty and Happiness.

They Who Smile Upon the World Shall
Grow in Beauty and Happiness.
Two shrubs were planted near pal.
ing fence. The soil was good, and with
plenty of sunshine, and being protected
from the north wind, they had every
opportunity of growth and bloom. Bot
one of them was deeply offended at the
fence. 1t was ugly-so near-stark and
stubborn; and nothing would DO but
that this fence must be driven away.
And so, with soured spirit it struck at
the fence day and night, begging every
wind and breeze to help it drive the
enemy off the premises. The other
shrub did not notice the fence, but
looked out cheerfully the other way,
where it saw waving trees, green grass
and beds of roses and other flowers It
spread its sheltering foliage over nest
that had been built beneath it, fostered
group of violets that sought its
shadow, and loaded up every breath
that came with fragrance to be carried
off to any and all who would receive it.
Days passed, and a bluebird that had
watched them from its perch assumed a
little reckoning, and this was it's conclu-
sion: The fence stands and is unhurt.
The plant that was cheerful and tried
to be useful, turning itself kindly to-
wards the open world beside it, is hand
some in wealth of foliage and flowers.
The birdlets beneath it are chirping it's
praises, and the violets are blessing it
day and night. But the one that fretted
at the fence and fought it, is torn and
shielded, and its buds that might have
been beautiful are blighted and black
ened. 1t is always so. They who smile
upon the world shall grow in beauty and
happiness; but they who fret, and scold
and fight, while the objects of their
buffetings remain unchanged, wear
themselves away into tatters and decay.

and some of the old folks predicted that
this would cause trouble"
The Colonel whitfield steadily at his
pipe for full minute.
"The prophets of evil were right" he
resumed. 'In those times this was
sort of neutral ground. 1t was between
the lines, and Confederate and Union
soldiers came and went without being
molested. Hunter was red hot Seces-
sionist, and would have joined the army
if he had not been lame in one leg. AS
it was he made no secret of his senti-
ments, and the Unionists kept out of his
way.
"Mary seemed to be devoted to her
husband, and every thing moved along
pleasantly for months after their we'd
ding. One day there was change.
Jack had kinswoman, meddlesome
gossip, who limited to him that something
was wrong. Jack was furious, but MS
cousin told him he had married Mary
without inquiring into her past history,
and then she whispered something that
drove the young man almost crazy with
rage"
My companion rose from his chair and
paced the floor.
81 hate to tell about it, he said, but
/ must go on. Hunter learned from his
cousin that Mary had been seen holding
clandestine meetings with Union
officer in secluded spot not far from
her home. The husband said nothing
to his wife. He waited and watched.
Mary wondered why Jack had suddenly
grown SO cross and silent, but she made
the best of it, thinking that he had
some trouble on his mind.
"Just about twilight one day Jack
came home from the field where he had
been at work and found Mary missing.
He instantly left the house and ran to
the top of neighboring hill. He saw
just what he feared. Down in the val
ley below he saw his wife and a hand
some Union officer parting from each
other in the most affectionate fashion.
They embraced and kissed after tho
manner of lovers.
Hunter slipped back to the house,
seized his rifle, and went off to the
woods in the direction the officer would
be sure to take on his way back to the
Union lines. An hour later just as Mary
was wondering why her husband was so
late for supper Jack walked in and
threw his rifle into corner. His white
face and blazing eyes alarmed Mary and
she asked some excited question. Jack
coolly told her that he had discovered
