a good story Is told VI the general
manager Of one Of the biggest railroads
that run out Of Boston. The gentleman
in question Is man Of the greatest In
teprity, but that he Is not only blunt
snd brusque, but profane as we'll, Is
well known.
A gentleman who had started a
wooden mill In town through which
the railroad runs called on Mr. Blank.
with a view to getting some re luctiOn
in freight rates, for he knew that he
should have occasion TO use the road as
q means of transportation for his wares

manager in his Office and said, intro

It's no use TO the road, and we don't

the general manager, who calmly and
quietly said "Sit right down, Mt

than ten minutes the manufacturer had
got what he wanted aud when he left

general manager. The latter had found
a man who could outswear him.

SICK BED, Nov. II, 1890.

NY dear Mrs. Mcconnell:
Your note and the LEXINGTON
RECORD came to me and / want
to thank you for your interest in
my beloved life work. l will en-
close you one of each of my ex-
planatory leaflets which will prob
ably give you all the information
you need about the flower mission,
and / am somewhat at a loss to
know just what you want me to
tell you about it. l suppose
though it is how to organize a
mission, or how to carry on the
work. am sorry to decline your
kind offer, but | am the busiest
little invalid you ever could find,
and am unable to reach all the de-
mands upon my time and strength,
/ will have my secretary mail you
one Of this years reports of the
National Flower Mission when she
returns with them from the Con-
vention, and from it you will see
what great demands the work
makes upon my feeble strength.
1t requires me to arrange twenty
FIVE letters a week. | am very
busy now making arrangements
for a new plan, to secure a trained
nurse for our city's sick poor, and
this is occupying me in every spare
hour l have. l was much inter-
ested in the accounts of your no
BILE work, and from my heart / do
wish it God speed. Hoping that
these little leaflets may be what
you want, and that your labor OF
love may have Gods smile to resi-
upon it continually,
l am your invalid friend,

Striving.

iG' If you would enter heaven, you
must be I'M earnest about it. Men
were brought on beds to Christ to
be healed, but no man ever went
to heaven lying on his bed and
borne on the shoulders Of others.
You will never wake up some
fine morning and find yourself
pious. The great change will steal
softly over you while you sit at
ease. You must be awake, up,
and at it. You must strive, says
Christ, strive like wrestler who
has his foe and his match; strive
like a runner, when the race is
long and the runners many, and
but one can win; strive like the
soldier, when the conflict is sharp,
and he who.conquers not must die.
Such is the scripture usage of that
"striving" by which we enter into
life. The word is full of earnest
ness-earnesthess even to agony

Aunt Jeans Letter.

Aunt Jeans Letter.
DEAR FRIENDS: Another month
has been added to our life span
What has it added to our record
as responsible beings? We are
all engaged in work which, to do
acceptably, requires forgetfulness
of self-an absolute putting out
Of sight of our own glory. At
the same time the tree is known
by its fruits, and a city which is
set on a hill cannot be hid. Strike
the plumb-line of duty between
ostentation and reserve; do that
which lieth in us, looking neither
to right nor left, and then it may
be written of us, "They have
done what they could" To some
the lines fall unto pleasant places.
Let such rejoice and be glad,
knowing full we'll that charge
is given them to keep and to an
swer for at the day OF reckoning.
To the poor is multiplied distress
when dreary winter comes. Not
even the meager street comforts
Of warm sunshine and chance
bit of fruit are theirs now. How
ering over reluctant embers, they
hug their empty stomachs till fed
by charity.
THE PROTESTANT INFIRMARY
has made it's way to the front
rank of usefulness. 1t stands a
monument to the most touching
and beautiful traits of humanity.
Think what it is to be helpless;
entirely dependent upon the kind
ness of others; racked by pain
even unto mortal extr. nifty; driv-
en- to the surgeons knife by Ills
Of the flesh; condemned to days
and nights of agony and weari
ness. Think and be mercltulj
JON in the efforts that are being
made for their relief; in union
there is strength. Here a little,
there a little, becomes by and by
a mighty salvation. Only think;
stop and think. When you sit
down to rest, don't take a book
every time. Calmly look upon
the things that are needful in
life; remember the poor; try to
put yourself in the places Of the
suffering ones tied down upon
beds, looking only, under heaven,
to your ministering hands. The
Infrmary patients have reached
the usual average since my last,
Some have gone, some have come,
some are improving. Death has
been there; but death, after all,
has been merciful. Some one
said, "Aunt Jean gets the names
wrong. We do not know any
such persons" Did you think
Aunt Jean meant 10 give you
real names? 1t is not necessary
She may introduce the sick and
feeble TO you by what names she
chooses, SO that the right chord
is touched, Don't you think 50
Just tell your sick friends where
they may be sure of quiet re-
treat and of absolute seclusion,
with skilled nurses to wait upon
them, with all sorts of delicacies
sent to them, and with any phys
ician they choose to minister to
them. Homes have been found |
for friendless convalescents, and
