Pull Together.

The first year of married life is a
most important era in the history of
man and wife. Generally, as it is spent,
so is almost all subsequent existence
The wife and the husband then assimu-
late their views and their desires, or
else, conjuring up their dislikes, they
add fuel to their prejudices and ami
mosities forever afterward
81 have read somewhere" says the
Rev. Mr.. Wise, in his Bridal Greet
ings," Of a bridegroom who gloried in
eccentricities. He requested his bride
to accompany him into the garden Il
day or two after their wedding. He
then drew a line over the roof Of their
cottage. Giving his wife one end of it
he retreated to the other side and
exclaimed
"Pull the line p
She pulled it at his request, 50 far
as she could. He cried
"Pull it over p
81 can't" she replied.
"But pull with all your might !" still
shouted her whimsical husband.
But vain were all the efforts of the
bride to pull over the line so long as
her husband held the opposite end
But when he came round, and they
pulled at the same end, it came over
with great ease.
"There !" as the line fell from the
roof, "you see how hard and ineffectu-
al was our labor when we both pulled
in opposition to each other but how
easy and pleasant it was when we both
pulled together 1t will be so with us
through lifew
In this illustration, as homely as it
may be, there is a sound philosophy.
Husband and wife must mutually bear
and concede if they wish to make a
home retreat of joy and bliss. One
alone can not make home happy.
There needs unison of action, sweet
ness Of spirit and great forbearance and
love in both husband and wife to Sc
cure the great end of happiness in the
domestic circle. Home is no unmixed
paradise of sweets the elements of
peace and true happiness are there,
and so, too, are the elements of discord
and misery and it needs only the
bitter spirit of the world without to
make it a pandemonium, or the loving
genius Of harmony to make it the
prompter Of every affectionate impulse

THE BIRTH OF LOVE.

How, questioned, was love first born,
Love that has wrought much joy and sorrow
Was it conceived by Prince forlorn,
Who stroye some heavenly joy to borrow
Painting its bliss with earthly tear
Of human weakness and haman fear?
Or did shepherd dream its joy,
In days ere the poets sang its power
Born in the sleep of serf-born boy,
To become the worlds most cherished flowera
Or did an angel bewail mans woe,
And tear-drop fall on heart belowa
Perchance heather God of old,
In an empty hour of hours ne'er ending,
Fashioned a heart out of purest gold
A bitter thought in its brightness blending,
And, laughing, hurled it down to the earth,
Where a poet found t-and love had birth.
What do you say with pouting lips
Your eyes half hid from my fond inquiring?
The bee that kisses the rose and sips,
Such bootless knowledge is not desiring2
And you think that God, the world, and man,
Were born of love, and in love began3
--Felix ". Gersou

in an instant, and hard strained look
came in their place, more pitiful than
any tears. She put her hand on her
heart a moment, and then said, simply
"Take me to him please"
Get your hat" Mr.. Wade answered.
But she looked at him and whisper
ed:
"Take me to him."
Without word more, he led her to
the still waiting cab.
On reaching the house, Mr.. Wade
left her in the hall and hurried up
stairs. A few swift words explained
to the doctor who was below, and he
fastened down.
"You must be very quiet" he said,
gently, though the charge seemed I'M
necessary in greeting the almost stony
figure that awaited him. "Sleep must
come within an hour, or death or hope
less insanity will result but 90 to him,
look and speak quietly and naturally,
and if it is you he is dying for Ga shud-
der ran through the girD we may save
him yet
The girl rose and went to the glass
Look and speak naturally" Even
in that hour of anguish she wondered
if the face there was hers. He would
not know those pinched cheeks, those
staring eyes and bloodless Ups. She
stood moment biting her lips, rubbed
her cheeks and then smiled at the glass
The wonderful thing, a woman's love,
had triumphed over nature, and with
a smiling face she could meet Death
himself, if smiles would help her des-
perate endeavor to rescue her beloved
from his grasp.
The doctor led the way to the sick
room, opened the door and stood aside
as she e tered. Bertha swayed for an
instant as she caught sight of the pitt
full, wasted form extended before her !;
but again Love triumphed, and swiftly
advancing to his bedside, she bent
above the wistful eyes and said, clearly
and softly
"Love did you call me?''
For moment the face looking into
hers retained the eager, searching look
it had worn for days; then it died
away and one of perfect content filed
its place.
"Bertha!" the pinched lips tried to
say.
eyes, Bertha" she cooed, softly lay
ing her cool lips on his; "and now,
darling, shut your eyes, | will put my
cheek against yours, and we will rest. .
Like tired child, he obeyed her,
nesting his head on the cool, soft arm
she slipped under it, while the peachy
cheek that lay on his seemed to possess
an almost magic power.
''He is saved p the doctor murmured
to the happy, bewildered mother; and
so it proved, for Frank Hepburn
awoke-very weak, indeed, but rational
"ready to drink a gallon Of beef tea,
and be married that very afternoon"
he whispered family.
When Mr. Wade returned to the
office he found Weaver had drawn his
pay and left.
"He knew I wouldn't keep him an
hour" Mr.. Wade said, while relating
the circumstance for the one hundredth
time, at the Hepborn-Wiley wedding,
two months later. "What kind of a
heart must it be that would try to
separate such couple as thatp'
And he glanced with almost fatherly
pride at the handsome pair who we're
standing under floral arch, receiving
their congratulations their friends we're
showering upon them.
Bless my heart !" he added, softly
surely the angels themselves must
smile on such wonderful love as theirs"

INGENIOUS INVENTION.
An Apparatus which winds All Sorts OF
Clocks automatically.

An Apparatus which winds All Sorts OF
Clocks Automatically.
Otto Urban, in Gross-Kikinda, Is
we'll known as a first-class watch and
clock-maker. He invented an auto
matte apparatus for winding pendulum
clocks, which was much admired for
its simple and practical mechanism.
1t is attached to the clock on one
side and to the door OF the room
on the other. A fine wire or a
catgut serves as transmission agent
By opening and closing the door the
mechanism is made to work and the
clock is wound. To keep the clock
running for twenty-four hours 1t will
be sufficient to open the door two or
three timca
When the clock is fully wound the
apparatus is stopped till the descend
ing weight is allowed to recommence
Its work. Such automatic winding In
struments do not cost much, and Its
construction can easily be made solid
and faultless.
In Austrla-Hungary the inventor has
applied for patent. but II seems his
invention only comprises clocks rum
ming by weights and doors. There is
an unlimited field for some young
genius to combine French mantel
clocks with the parlor sofa when tho
gas Is turned down; kitchen clocks
with The range door, the coal bin or
the washboard; bedroom clocks with
the front door latch and alarm clocks
with the cats on the roof. Jewellers
