Keep Your Temper.

"I never can keep anything" cried
Emma, almost stamping with vexa-
ton. Somebody always takes my
things and loses them" She had mis-
laid some of her sewing implements.
There is one thing" remarked
mamma, "that 1 think you might
keep, if you would try"
ii should like to keep even one
thing" answered Emma.
"Well, then, my DEAR" resumed
mamma, "keep your temper; if you
will only do that, perhaps you will
find it easier to keep other things. l
dare say, if you had employed your
time in searching for the missing arti-
cles, you might have found them be-
fore this time; but you have not even
looked for them. You have only got
into q passion-a bad way of spending
;ime-and you have accused somebody,
and unjustly, too. of taking away your
things and losing them. Keep your
temper, my dear; when you have
missed any article, keep your temper,
and search for it. You had better
keep your temper, if you lose all the
little property you possess. So, my
dear, repeat, keep your temper"
Emma subdued her ill-temper,
searched for the articles she had lost
and found them in her work-bag.
"Why, mamma, here they are! /
might have been sewing all this time
if l had kept my temper"

THE LITTLE SWEDISH GIRL.
little Swedish girl. eleven years old,
was taken to hospital, where, after a
severe illness of seven months, she re-
covered.
She was q homely child, but being
very kind and thoughtful, she endear-
ed herself to all around her. There
was brought into the hospital a little
girl of peevish and disagreeable dispo-
sition who was very sick. The Swed-
ish girl at once took her place by the
cot of the little stranger and assumed
entire charge of her-in fact, acted the
part of little mother. The little girl
fingered for while then and died.
When asked why she had treated the
sick baby so tenderly, she looked be-
wildered and said:
"Do not all the people in the world
help one another? You have helped
me-"
"But why did you choose that
baby ?" the matron insisted. "There
are many others here prettier, better
tempered, more lovable."
Eyes" she replied, with tears in her
eyes, "but she had nobody but me to
take care of her, madam"

IT BOTHERED HER.-The Rev. DR..
Chamberlain, of Brooklyn, told a
laughable story in the course of his ad-
dress before the Evangelical alliance.
He said that little Brooklyn girl re-
turned home from Sunday School in a
sad state of mind because she had
heard that Jesus was q Jew. She ap-
pealed to her mother for confirma-
ton of the report.
"Yes, my dear, Jesus was a Jew,
said her mother.
"Well, mamma. He was the Son OF
God, was He not"'
ayes, my dear" =,
"Well," said the little one, Il don't
see how it ever happened that Jesus
was q Jew, when God himself is u
Presbyterian. ."-Boston advertiser.

most influential and noble men our
country has produced never dwelt
within college halls. Our great Wash
ington was not a perfect speller, and

in incorruptible integrity, in the abili-
ty TO choose and manage men, he was
unsurpassed.
Benjamin Franklin had only a COM
mon-school education, but when he
died he was member of most of the
learned societies of Europe.
Abraham Lincoln was a self-taught
man. He mastered the principles of
geometry in order that he might know
for himself what quad erdt demon
strdnduna meant, but he had no teach
er in this branch of mathematics.
Horace Greeley got his education in
a printing office no man in his time
was more influential than was he.

Katie'S Part.

"What have you done, dear children?
The mother gently said,
AS she kissed her white-robed babes at night
And tucked them up in bed
"What have yon done through all this day
To help some one along the way?"
Then each one told OF some kind deed
A loving word just spoken,
Some sacrifice for others wants,
Or gift OF friendly token.
But wnen twas Katies turn to speak
A tear-drop glistened on her cheek.
Il cannot think of any thing
So very good to-day"
She sadly said, "only helped
A chicken find its way
Back to Its mother-that was all;
But 1t was lost, and o so small
"'Twas naughty when IL ran away;
But, dear mamma, know
1t felt so sorry, for 1t tried
The right way back to go.
You told US once we ought to seek
TO save the lost ones and the weak.
"The little chicken looked distressed,
And how II cried, poor thing
II was so glad to cuddle up
Under its mothers wing.
Aud was happy when | found
Twas there with her, all safe and sound
The children hid their smiles beneath
The beds white coverlet;
But the mother kissed her Katie
Just where the cheek WAS wet.
Your part" said she, "you, too, have done;
God is we'll pleased, my little one"

Be Prompt.

If you are going to do anything, do
it promptly.
The longer you wait and think about
and dread it, the worse it will be.
Be prompt. Life is a great deal
pleasanter to the person who promptly
does what he is required to DO.
Don't keep your friends waiting.
You have no right to waste the time of
other people.
If you are one half hour behind time
in fulfilling an engagement, you may
cause dozen other parties to break en-
gagements, and untold perpleXities
and delays may come out of just that
little shortcoming of yours which you
look upon as such trifiing thing.
TO an active energetic wide awake
person there is nothing more trying
and more annoying than to be made to
wait.
Brace up and make an effort, you
shiftless indolent always behind hand
folks, and see if you can not come to
time!
If you have agreed to be at certain
place at a certain time, be there, unless
you are sick or dead.
If either case you might be excused,
but not otherwise.
If you are a man, don't keep your
wife waiting dinner for you, unless
there is some good and sufficient cause,
and generally there is not.
Delaying dinner spOils not only
the dinner but the temper of the wo-
man who is managing it.
if you are woman, and your huS-
band says he will be round at o'clock
to take you to drive, be ready for him.
Have your bonnet and gloves on.
Don't keep him dancing on the pave
ment for half an hour clinging to a
fidgety horse, while you lejsurely get
Oh your wraps and look at your back
bair in hand glass, and hunt up your
gloves and your parasol, and wonder
whether you had better take an extra
shawl or not.
Have all these things attended to and
decided Oh before the time he has fix
ed.
A little system and good deal of de-
termination will help you to be
prompt; and after you once get in the
habit of it, you will like il.
| is refreshing to do business with
one who is always in time, and who,
you know. will be on time.
He begets courage and confidence in
everybody with whom he comes in
contact.
He is power in society. He is a
blessing to the world.
When he dies he will be missed.
Teach the children early to be
prompt. Teach them to respect q
promise.
Bring them up to tell the truth and
stick to it.
A broken engagement is lie. Some
times it is worse than q lie, and may
cause a great many more unpleasant
complications than q lie.
Be careful in making agreements,
but when you have once agreed, stick
to the terms of the agreement.
And if you follow out the prompt
punctual, persevering method of doing
every thing when it needs to be done,
there are ninety-nine chances in hun
dred that you will be successful in life !;
and if you are not you will have the
delightful consciousness of knowing
that you have deserved success, and
you will not be continually beset by
the remorseful thought that if you had
only come to time, if you had only
been prompt, you would have achiev-
ed success instead of failure.

Oriet Ways Are Best.

What's the use in worrying,
or hurrying
And scurrying.
Everybody flurrying
And breaking up their rest?
When every one is teaching us,
Preaching and beseeching us
To settle down and end the fuss;
For quiet ways are best.
The rain that trickles down in showers
A blessing brings TO thirsty flowers;
And gentle zephyrs gather up
Sweet fragrance from each brimming cup.
There's ruin in the tempeSt's path,
There's ruin in q voice of wrath,
And they alone are blest,
Who early learn to dominate
Themselves, their violence abate.
And prove by their serene estate
That quiet ways are best.
Nothing's gained by worrying,
BY hurrying
And scurrying.
With fretting and with flnrrying
The temper'S often lost;
And IN pursuit of some small prize
We rush all cad and are not wise,
And'tind the unwonted exercise
a fearful price has cost.
"Tis better far to join the throng
That do their duty right along:
Reluctant they to raise fuss,
Or make themselves ridiculous
Calm and serene in heart and nerve,
Their strength Is always in reserve,
And nobly stands each test;
And every day and all about,
BY scenes within and scenes without,
We can discern, with me- doubt.
That quiet ways are best.
