Mother and Child.

Talk about educating Il child why,
if mother is true woman and moth
er, the child educates her MORN she
educates the child, enough sight.
She learns divine patience through
bearing with the childish little faults.
Through fear of setting bad example
in front of it, she learns to control her
own temper and her tongue. and be-
haves herself more'n good deal OF
the time.
Oh !! how that old bird would love to
keep it in the warm nest-how her
love wants to brood over it always
how she yearns to keep it close to her
own jealous, beating heart, how doub-
ly lonesome the old nest is when the
little one is gone ; how happily sad,
and how jOyously mournful is the
thought that it is learning to ny
alone-that it is learning to be happy,
away from her, away from the ola
nest that the walls Of the old home
can never again be the bound OF its
Joy and content. No, the wide hofl-
zon has now dawned upon it, the clear
far fields of either, and it must now
soar and sing, and sing its own songs,
build its own nest, live its own life, III
It's own world.-Josiuh Aliens VIE.

Finding The Key.

When Mary Simms was in the coun
try last summer, she became acquaint
Ell with little boy who lived neN'
door. Lawrence was slow to learn
and rather lazy, and SO no one had ia
ken pains with him, and he had nev'
er learned to read. Mary, who could
read very well, wondered that boy 81
old AS he did not know his letters, and
she made up her mind to teach him
1t took a great deal of patience fol
Mary TO do this, but she had been
taught by her mama 10 he useful
DO all the good you cam" her ma
ma would often say, "in all the ways
you can, to all the people you can, fol
Jesus sake" So Mary, without say
ing q word to anybody about it, under
took to teach Lawrence to read
When Lawrence didn't feel like study
ing his lesson, Mary would coax hin
with a story. This is one of the sto
ries she told him:
"Once there was great king wht
had two nice little boys. One day
their father said to them, Il have {
chest full of the most beautiful ant
precious things, and you may open il
and have all the treasures in it if yor
will find the key. You must look two
hours for it every day Eric was .
good boy and did as his father wished
but Otho was lazy boy and would
not try. By-and-by, Eric found the
key, and then what treasures he had
Ohio was angry when he saw his
brothers. good times, and sulked be-
cause he could not have them, too
You see, he couldn't even get n lool
into the chest, because he hadn't found
the key" :.
HE was foolish, wasn't he?" said
Lawrence.
"Just as foolish as you will be if yor
don't learn your letters" said Mary
"The A B G is the key that will oper
all the beautiful books in the world, sc
that you can enjoy the treasures II
them, and call them your own."
so, will try, 1 will ~ said Law
renee. He began to study with al
his might, and before Mary Wen
home he could read in words of three
letters quite well.

Consider the Poor.

1t is very possible to he fairly faith
rul in much, and yet unfaithful in
that which is least. We may have
thought about our gold and silver, and
We have been altogether thoughtless
about our rubbish /! Some have hab-
it of boarding away old garments,
"pieces," remnants, and odds and ends
generally, under the idea that they
Twill come in useful some day :" very
likely setting it up as a kind of mild
virtue. backed by that noXious old say.
ing, Keep it by you seven years, and
you'll find a use for it," And so the
shabby things get shabbier, and moth
and dust doth corrupt, and the draw
ers and places get choked and crowd
ed; and meanwhile all this that is
sheer rubbish to you might be made
useful at once, to a degree beyond
what you would guess, to some poor
person.
1t would be q nice variety for the
clever fingers of lady's maid to be set
to work to uphold things or some
tidy woman may be found in almost
every locality who knows how to con.
trive children's things out of what
seems to you only fit for the rag-bag,
either for her own little ones OF those
of her neighbors.
My sister trimmed seventy or eighty
hats every Spring for several years
with the contents of friends rubbish
drawers. thus relieving dozens of poor
mothers who liked their children to
"go tidy on Sunday" and also keep
ing down finery IN her Sunday-school.
Those who literally fulfilled her re-
quest for rubbish" used to marvel at
the results.
Little scraps Of carpet, torn old cur
tains, faded blinds, and all such gear,
go wonderful long way towards lnak'
ing poor cottagers and old or sick peo-
pie comfortable. Inever saw anything
in this rubbish" line yet that could
not be turned to good account some
where, with a little considering of the
poor and their discomforts.
1 wish my lady reader would just
leave this book now, and so straight
up stairs, and have good r4nmage at
once, and see what can thus be cleared
out. If she does not know the right
recipients at first hand, let her send
it off to the nearest working clergy
mans wife, and see how gratefully it
will he received! For it Is o great
trial to workers among the poor not to
be allie to supply the needs they see.
Such supplies are far more useful than
trehle their small money value.

THE VoICE.-Probably no one can
ever fully estimate how much infiu-
ence he Is constantly exerting through
his tones Of voice. Nothing is 80 pow
erful to cheer the dropping energies Of
a discouraged group as the inspiring
tones of hope in the words of q new
arrival. Who has not seen the imnie-
diate effect of q glad and sprightly
voice breaking in upon dull and un-
interested party of people? How their
ewes brighten, and their brows clear.
and their forms become erect! On the
other hand, let solemn or doleful or
fretful voice break in on gay and
cheerful company, and how quickly
the smile dies OH the lip, and the de-
pressing influence goes round!
The infant who cannot understand q
word that his mother says Is soothed
and pleased or grieved and frightened
by her tones, and the seeds thus sown
of love and gentleuess or Of harshness
and impatience, are sure to bear fruit
in his later development, and exert a
strong influence in mellowing his fu-
ture character, and preparing it 10 COIL
tend the better with the roughness Of
the world.-NeaO York Ledger.

Edis0n's Big Check.

When Edison had finally sold his
patent on the gold and stock indicator
to the Western Union Telegraph COM
pauy for $40, 900, he came over TO New
York to get his money.
He had heard of Wall street and its
bulls and bears, and had been told that
it was full of Sharks" who would
fleece man very quick. So he made
I'D his mind that Wall street was a
very dangerous place, and that II ne
ever had occasion to 60 there he would
be lucky if he got away without losing
his overcoat and umbrel la.
At that time General Lefferts was
president of the Western Union. One
morning Edison came into the compa-
ny's general offices to close up the sale
of his patent. After few prelimina-
ries he was given check for $4O,O ,OOO.
He looked at it curiously for mo-
ment or two and appeared to be puZ-
zled what to do with it. He knew
that he had sold patent to the West
ern Union company for S4O, 900. but he
did not see any money. Observing his
perplexity, General Lefferts told him
that if he would 60 to the Bank OF
America, in Wall street, he would get
the check cashed. $50 I started"
said Edison, "afler carefully folding
up the check and went toward Wall
street."
On arriving at the Bank of Ameri-
ca he hesitated about entering, fearing
still that something might be wrong
At last, however, he mustered up cour'
age and half tremblingly showed his
check out to the cashier. The latter
scrutinized it closely, gave Edison d
piercing glance and said something
which Edison could not understand,
as he was hard of hearing.
That was enough. He was now
more than ever convinced that his
"check" wasn't worth $4,000. and
thought as he rushed out of the bank
with it, that any man who would give
him s., 600 could walk away with the
check. He hurried back TO the West
ern Union offices and said h. couldn't
get any money. General Lefferts sent
a man with him to identify him. He
said: "This man is Mr.. Thomas A
Edison, to whose order the check is
drawn"
"Why. certainly, Mr.. Edison," said
the cashier, obsequiously, chow would
you like your $40, ,000-in what shape :"
"Oh any way to suit the bank. IL
doesn't make any difference to me sc
long as I get my money"
Edison was given $40, 900 in large
bills. After dividing the roll into
wads f. $40, 600 each, he stuffed one in
to each trousers pocket, buttoned uI
his coat as tightly as possible, and
made break to get out Of Wall street
as quick US he could. The next day he
began work on his first laboratory at
New York.
