Keep up Your End.

"When l was a boy, in the numbering
region" said the old doctor, " the fell
low who would not hold up his end of
the log, but let the weight sag on the
others, was looked upon with contempt
by all the camp. Wherever / 90 now /
think see logs carried-one end held
up by hearty, willing hands, and the
other dropping out of lazy, selfish ones.
" When see an old father toiling to
give his son the education that is to
help him through life, and the boy
yawning over his books, trucking his
teachers, smoking cigarettes and swear
ing, feel like calling out: For the
sake of your own soul, boy, grip the
end of the log and hold it upl Some
times see man working hard all day,
and too tired to rest at night, while his
wife and daughters read novels, en-
broider and gossip with women as use
less in the world as themselves. Do
they keep up their end of the log? Or,
quite as often, it is the wife who stints
and saves until her life is barren and
bare as a dusty road at MONDAY, while
the husband spends his time at saloons
and pool rooms. Or / see one bright,
courageous member of a family-usu-
ally COMMUNICATING, joking, hope
full, while the others crawl along, groan-
ing, complaining, dropping every day
and hour their burden of poverty, dis
ease, tootheache, or bad weather on
her shoulder. She has all the log to
carry. Again, it is human being for
whom God has done much in birth
rank, education, friends, who for the
love of glass of liquor or pack of
cards allows his life to drop into the
slough. Paul bids him work out his
own salvation; and feel like telling
him to hold up his own end Of the log"
What does our reader think of the
Doctors homely lesson? What is his
burden in life? Somebody shares it
with him; no man bears his load alone.
Does he carry his part with hearty good
will, or does he drop it on weak and
willing shoulders?-ChriStian Common
wealth.

What Colors will Photograph.

The time was when the photographer
required certain colors in dress to pro-
duce good effects. Now, with expert
ence and the improvements in chem
icals, these restrictions are removed.
He can photograph white as well as
black. The capable artist prides him
self on his ability to show the most
delicate and elaborate lace-work on the
bridal dress. With these restrictions
no longer necessary would say: Wear
your most becoming dress. Blue and
pink will photograph white. Purple
will appear many shades lighter than it
is in reality. Red and deep yellow APP
pear black, or nearly so. Strong con-
trasts in dress or trimmings give a
gaudy effect. Subdued and quiet colors
make the neat picture. For example
see the pictures of nuns, or the lovely
pictures of Quaker ladies.-LadieS'

SANKEY'S Dog and the Guinea. Fowl.

We were sitting conversing about
our prospects, discussing the prOba-
bilities of our couriers reaching some
settlement on this day, or the next,
and the time that it would take them
to return; and they desired to know
whether, in my previous African eX-
perience, | had encountered ANYTHING
so grievous as this. . No, not quite so
bad as this" | replied. " We have
suffered, but not to such an extremity
as this. Those nine days on the way
into Ituru were wretched. On our
flight from Bumbire we certainly suf-
fered much hunger, and also while
floating down the Congo to trace its
course our condition was much to be
pitied. We have had little of some
thing, and at least large hopes, and if
they die where are we? The age of
miracles is past, it is said, but why
should it be? Moses drew water from
the rock at Horeb for the thirsty Is
raelites. OF water we have enough
and to spare. Elijah was fed by the
ravens at the brook Cherith, but there
is not a raven in all this forest. Christ
was ministered unto by angels. won
der if any one will minister unto us ?''
Just then there was a sound as of a
large bird whirring through the air
Little Randy, my fox-terrier, lifted up
a foot and gazed inquiringly. We
turned our heads to see, and that sec
ond the bird dropped beneath the jaws
of Randy, who snapped at the prize

stake Heed How You Hear"

Do you ever think on Sunday morn
ing before starting to church that, for
you, more depends on how you hear
than how the preacher breaches? If
you take with you ears to hear" you
may expect a blessing from the com
monest discourse; if you go with ears
and heart made dull and gross by unbe-
lief and worldliness and selfshness
you will receive no benefit, though an
angel or the Lord himself fill the pulpit.
How many heard Jesus of Nazareth
without thought or profit How many
misunderstood and Knocked him. Truly,
" the grace of hearing is as all-impor-
tant to the pews as the grace of speak
ing is to the pulpit. Amounted ears are
as necessary as anointed tongues. %

He was Very Candid.

Congressman Taulbee of Kentucky,
who was recently shot at Washington,
had in his employ faithful old colored
man called Uncle Eph, who had been
in the family for many years. The
story goes that after the election for
congressman, Taulbee having been a
candidate, he was tainted by some of
his opponents with the statement that
Uncle Eph had voted against him,
10th to believe it, he called old Eph
into his room and said; 4" Uncle Eph,
is it true that you voted against me at
the election?" " Yes, Massa Will
lam" replied Eph; g. voted de pub
licau ticket" "Well," said Taulbee,
like frankness, and here's dollar
for your candor." The old colored
man stood scratching his head, when
Taulbee asked: Well, Eph, what is
it?" Well, Massa Taulbee," said

Beautiful Things.


Beautiful faces are those that wear
1t matters little II dark or fair
whole.sou honesty printed there.
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal panes where the heart'fires glow
Beautiful thoughts that burn below
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like songs of birds.
Yet whose utterance prudence girds
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest and brave and true,
Moment by moment, the long day through.
Beautiful feet are those that go
on kindly ministries to and fro
Down lowliest ways, If God wills 1t so.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ceaseess burdens of homely care
with patient grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers of happiness,
Whose hidden fountains but few may guess.

A Kentucky Yarn.

There comes from Kentucky really
charming story. Early last spring a
turkey Matched large brood of young.
The farmer who owned the hen and
brood placed bell on the mother, and
the young, after they ceased to in
stinctively follow their feathered par
ent, by force of habit continued to fol-
low the bell. The farmer, observing
this, took the bell from the hen, and
when he hoed his tobacco tied it about
his own neck. The young turkeys then
followed him up one row and down
another, eating the worms from the
plants. They did the work of five
men and saved the Chicago
Mail.

"There, boys" 1 said, truly the gods
are gracious. The age of miracles is
not past" and my comrades were seen
gazing in delighted surprise at the
bird, which was fine fat guinea-fowl.
II was not long before the guinea-fowl
was divided, and Randy, its captor, had
his lawful share; and the little doggie
seemed to know that he had grown in
esteem with all men, and we enjoyed
our prize each with his own feelings

MOTHER.
The frat fond word our hearts express
In childhood rosy hours
When life seems full of happiness,
As nature full of flowers
A word that manhood loves to speak,
When time has placed upon his cheek
And written on his brow
Stern lessons of the worlds untruth
Unheeded in his thoughtless youth,
But sadly pondered now,
As time brings back, midst vanished years,
mothers fondest hopes and fears.
HOME.
The only Eden left untouched,
Free from the tempters snare
A paradise where kindred hearts
May revel without care.
wfe's glad smile is imaged there,
And eyes that never knew a tear,
Save those of happiness.
Beam on the hearts that wander back
From off the'i0ng and beaten track
OF sordid wordliness,
To taste those purer Joys that come
Like angels round the hearth at home.
HEAVEN.
The end Of all mothers prayers.
The home of all her dreams;
The guiding star to light our path
With hopes enchanting beams,
From out world where wild and dark
The tempests often rise;
Yet still in every darksome hour
This star shall rise with holy power
And point us to the skies,
Where Mother, Heaven and Home are seen
without a cloud to intervene. --Unideptifed.
