Diamonds.

In the Paris Exposition a chief in

display in this line was about $40, 900

Children on Marriage.

Children are the keenest of observ-
ers and the most practical deducers ;
indeed, their deductions are often
more astonishing than agreeable to
their elders. Though we laugh, we
do not always enjoy having our weak
ness revealed to us by the babbling
of babies.
Six little children were at play,
says western paper, and whether it
was that they grew tired of familiar
games or that that innate principle,
cit is not good for man to be alone, !"
craved expression, they determined
to have a wedding. John, aged eight,
should marry Hatty, aged five, and
Brother Harry should speak the words
that bind.
Now, Harry had never heard a
marriage ceremony and was entirely
ignorant of the prevalent pledges !;
but was he at a loss? Not he. He
knew what papa and mamma consid-
cred as paramount virtue, and surely
what they each so eagerly desired
must constitute the requisite of hap
ply married life.
The candidates for wedlock were
requested to stand side bv side. and
gravely obeyed.
Hatty, will you get up in the morn
ing and see that John has his break
fast in time and that he has good
things to eat and never has to wait
for his meals?
John, will you give her all the mon
ely that she wants? That was all but
does it not contain the quintescence
of married felicity?

The Country Woman.

Before the backsmiths shop she waits,
In her high country wagon sitting,
While the good smith, with friendly haste,
Her horses clumsy shoe is fitting
He pares and measures, stWs his FIRE;
His hammer blows ring out with shrilness
Into the August afternoon,
STEPPED in its dreamy twilight stiffness.
With anxious eyes she watches him,
Her busy thoughts are homeward straying;
Shadows grow long DER field and road,
And weary farmers leave their having.
High in the elm tree Ger the way,
On sunlight boughs the birds singing;
Their cradle songs above their nests,
Within the whispering sweetness swinging.
She knows at home the patient cows
Stand lowing at the bars to greet her,
And anxious goodman scans the road,
And sends the children out to meet her.
She knows the supper fire is lit,
The hearth swept clean, the kettle singing,
The kitchen table cleared to hold
The thing kfrom town that she is bringing,
And smiles in honest, rustic pride,
AT shrewd, hard bargains she's been making
OF snowy eggs and creamy cheese,
For cloth, and shoes, and ''things for bakin."
The setting sun lights up her face,
Turning its harshness Into beauty
Picture ofrustic peace and pride,
Of hOmely happiness and duty.

The Shah's Mascot.

A new and noticeable figure among
the numerous dignitaries aud officials
in the suite of the shah of Persia is a
young boy of twelve, whom the shah
has covered with dignities and titles,
and who is an object of envy and fear
to most of his majesty's ministers.
His name is Goolamali Khan. He is
the director of the corps Of ''royal
pages" and one of his titles is All
zus-Sultan, "Favorite of the Mon
arch" Neither minister, vizier nor
royal prince has ever yet been allow
ed to sit at the shah's table, but
Goolmali Khan is an exception to
this law of the Persians. He is con-
stantly by his masters side, and has
more servants to wait upon him than
any two of the royal ministers. The
explanation of this extraordinary
treatment is to be found in the Per-
sian monarch's conviction that his
life is inseparably and mysteriously
bound up with that of Goolmali Khan,
and that wise men have foretold that
the shah's death will be preceded only
a few days by that Of his young ia
vorite that the health and prosperi
tV of the latter will mean the health
and prosperity of the former, land that
generally, whatever befalls this little
one will also happen to his royal pro-
tector. This belief has resulted in
the boy leading a life of ease and
luxury unknown to the most fortu-
nate courtiers in Teheran. He was
seated on the knees of two magnifi-
cent grandees on the shah's entry into
st. Petersburg.

Inventions and Wages.

Some paper has started the silly
question, "Do inventions decrease
wages?' Certainly they do not. On
the contrary, invention increases wag
es, shorten the work day, and de-
crease prices. In fact, inventions
constitute the only possible way by
which labor can be emancipated from
drudgery, long hours, and poor pay.
Inventions are increasing every year,
and wages are constantly advancing
in all countries where they are utiliz-
ed. Take calico as an example !:
There are persons now living who can
remember when calico sold at %
cents yard. 1t now sells at 8 cents.
This great reduction in price was eff
fected by inventions. In the mean
time, wages have in no case fallen,
hut have advanced very greatly. A
days wages will now buy as much
calico as a weeks wages would fifty
years ago. Calico is selected as an
example, but the same facts are true
as regards other manufactures.
Any one, no matter whether a la
borer, a loafer or capitalist, who
talks against invention talks against
one of the very greatest material
blessings that has been vouchsafed
to the world, and it is astounding
that any person can be found who is
so ignorant or so rash as to condemn
them.

Disagreeable Habits.

Nearly all the disagreeable habits
which people take up come at first
from mere accident or want of tho't.
They might easily be dropped, but
| they are persisted in until they be-
come second nature. Stop and think
before you allow yourself to form
them. There are disagreeabie hab-
its of the body like scowling or wink
ing, twisting the mouth, biting the
nails, continually picking at some
thing, twirling KEY, or fumbling at
chain, drumming with the fingers,
screwing or twisting a chain or what
ever you lay your hands on. Don't
do any of these things. Learn to sit
quietly like a gentleman, we were 60
ing to say, but we are afraid girls
fall into such tricks sometimes. There
are much worse habits than these, to
be sure; but we are speaking only of
those things that are only annoying
when they are persisted in. There
are habits of speech also, such as be-
ginning every speech with s'you see,''
or ''you know" "now-a." q don't
care,'' 'tell you what" ''tell We
now;" indlstinct utterance, sharp,
nasal tones; avoid them ALL Stop
and think what you are going to say,
and then let every word drop from
your lips just as perfect as a new sill
yer coin. Have care about the way
you are sitting and standing and
walking. Before you know it you
will find that your habits have hard
ened into coat of mail that you can
not get rid of without terrible eff
fort.

Homely Philosophy.

Insincerity is often mistaken for a
lack of honesty.
The ring of coin is often the knell
of friendship.
Adversely undermines many a
structure of prosperity.
They never need fear a fall who
never scale the height.
He who wisely uses his wealth need
not leave it for his tombstone.
The sight of mans money is often
times the antidote for the odor of a
very bad character.
True genius lurketh under cover,
while arrogance stalks abroad in the
full light of day.
The wisest fish long escapes the
most dangerous hooks, and is finally
caught with bent up pin.
Prosperity awaits all men, and even
pursues some, but it is never found
IN the hauntS or vice.
The most wonderful work of God
is man, but brand him slanderer, and
God VIII disown His work.
If you would avoid the suspicion of
your neighbors, never carry your mo-
lasses in a demijohn.
The ambition of youth looks for
ward to the triumphs of age, while
stated age turns back wistful eye
along the rosy path of youth.
Not only should careless statements
regarding our neighbors be ignored,
but facts themselves should be cftrn
subdued in the interest of right-t hink
ing and fairness to our fellows.

The Fools Prayer.

The royal feast was done; the king
Sought some new sport to Danish care,
And to his jester cried; ''Sr Fool
Kneel now and make for us a prayer!"
The Jester DOTTED his cap and bells,
And stood the mocking court before;
They could not the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore.
He bowed his head, and bent his knee
Upon the monarch's silken stool:
His pleading voice arose: ''Oh Lord,
Be merciful to me, a fooll
''No pity, Lord, could change the heart
From red with wrongs to white as wool;
The rod must heal the sin; but Lord
BE merciful to me, fool!
'''Tis not by guilt the onward sweep
OF truth.and right, Oh, Lord, we stay;
IT'S by ourfollies til 1t SO long
We hold the earth from heaven away.
''These clumsy feet, still in the mire,
Go crushing blossoms without end;
These hard, well-meaning hands we thrust
Among the heart strings of a friend.
''The timed truth we might have kept,
Who knows how sharp it pierced and stung?
The word had not sense to say,
Who knows how grandIy it had rung?
''Our faults no tenderness should ask,
The Christening stripes must cleanse them all;
But for blunders, Oh, in shame
Before the eyes of heaven we fall.
earth bears no balsam for Mistakes;
Men crown the knave and scourge the tool
That did his will; but Thou, Oh Lord,
Be merciful to me, fool''
The room was hushed; in silence rose
The king, and sought his garden cool,
And walked apart, and murmured low,
"Be merciful to me, fool"

About three hundred years ago a

About three hundred years ago a
rich merchant died, leaving large
fortune. He had but one son, who
had been sent when quite lad to an
uncle in India. On his way home, af-
ter an absence of some years, the
young man had been shipwrecke land
though it had been believed that he
had been saved still no certain It'd
ings had reached his father, who,
meanwhile, died rather suddenly,
leaving his large fortune to the care
of an old friend, with strict injunc-
tons not to give it up to any claim
ant until certain conditions had been
complied with. At the end of year
a young man appeared who said he
was the heir; then a second, and fin
ally a third. The guardian, who
knew that two out of the three claim
ants must be imposters, made use of
the following strategem He gave
each rival bow and an arrow, and
desired them to use the dead mans
picture as a target. and to aim at the
heart. The first nearly hit the mark,
the second pierced the heart, but the
third claimant burst into tears, and
refused to dishonor his fathers men,

guardian was quite satisfied with The
result of his device, and at once well
coined him as the rightful heir and

At stThe Home" Mr.. Winans re
NAMED till Jack seemed comfortable
and likely to sleep First the mat
ron fed the child with warm bread
and milk, which revived him. HI
remembered all about the efforts tc
sell his papers, his entrance into the
church and pew, and his dream.
"What made you cry?'' asked Mr.
Winans gently.
81 was going to drink nice ho
coffee"
"Oh you were dreaming. Would
you like some coffee now?"
Eyes, oh yes. It's so nice"
The coffee refreshed Jack, and he
frightened up and made a hearty
meal of bread and cold mutton. His
dream became reality instead of an
interlude which fancy makes.
Mr.. Winans sat by and watched
Jack until he was satisfied. Then
he asked:
"Would you like to stay here all
night, or is your mother expecting
your"
eyes, stay here. Mothers gone
away and l sleep in the street"
Jack was soon sleeping on neat
little cot, so his new friend left him
in comfort and likely to finish his
sleep without dreaming of hot coffee.
The next morning Jack was bathed
and dressed in clean clothes. He
was a very nice looking boy, aud Mr..
Winans determined to keep the child
in "The Home" for the present. Jack
responded to the care bestowed upon
him. In the school he soon began to
learn fast. Of course it was very
strange at first, but once he mastered
the beginning he became interested.
For Mr. Winans Jack conceived a
great affection. After some time as
the boy showed a disposition to do
right, Mr.. Winans took him to his
own home He was childless, and
Jack brought compensation for care
given him. Mr.. Winans tried to
reach Jack history, but all the child
remembered was that his mother
sometimes called him "Jack Morris"
The child had no recollection of rela-
tives, so Mr.. Winans regarded the
boy as Christ's little one.
Jack had no past, but plenty of
future, and he grew in grace as we'll
as in body and mind.
AS Jack grew up his mind turned
more and more toward religion. He
the night he wandered
into the church and fell asleep. He
learned what missions are, and often
thought he would like to help those
who were without God in their hearts.
The young man felt the call in his
heart and obeyed it. His kind protect
or helped him delighted that the re-
suit was so far beyond his most SAN
guine hopes.
Now the Rev. John Morris Winans
often addresses a missionary meeting.
He always remembers his first ex-
perience at missionary meeting,
when Faith showed itself by works
in his behalf. He never forgets to
plead for the heather at home as we'll
as in foreign fields, remembering the
hungry boy asleep in the church.
