her to have poem in FIVE Of the best
magazines in a single month. Every
periodical reader knows her work, and she
has her name on two published volumes Of
verse. Her success has been considered
exceptional, and it is. Yet, l saw from
her own memorandum book that, during
the entire year of 1889, she received not
$500 for all her poetieal work. Some viii

don't put in black and white that you are
''his forever" or that you send great deal
of love, even if it be only in jest, but re-

not demand either love, or an affection

how ill-bred it is to give or permit famili-
aritles in word or pen from either men or
women. Learn to keep your personal
affairs to yourself. Learn to believe that
your first name can only be used by those
connected with you by ties of blood, or
having the right given by deep love.
Believe me, you will never regret your
self respect as shown in this way, and you
will never cease lamenting permitting a
too familiar intercourse, that in the future

ralmare on Church Choirs.

My chief objection to church choir sing
ing is that am firm believer in a con-
gregation doing the singing. To me a
singing church is always triumphant
church. If congregation is silent during
the exercise, or partially silent, it is the
silence of death. If when the hymn is
given out you hear the faint hum Of here
and there a father and mother in Israel
while the vast majority are silent, that
minister of Christ who is presiding needs
to have very strong constitution if he
does not get the chills. He needs not
only the grace of God, but nerves like
whalebones. 1t is a constant source Of
amazement to me how some people with
voice enough to discharge all their dutie:
in the world, when they come into the
house of God have no voice to discharge
their duty of singing. really believe
that if all our churches would rise up and
sing as they ought to sing, that where we
have a hundred souls brought into the
kingdom OF Christ there would be q

Tom and Jerry Doing Well.

Eben Fowler was good old Kansas
| farmer whose particular hobby was to
bring up his boys right. He had two of
| them. Jerry was the brightest, but not as
old as his brother, and as precedence of
birth rules on farm as we'll as in royalty
| the old mans son Thomas was rather the
favorite The old gentleman daily lee
tured his two sons on the cardinal evils of
the world, mainly bearing on temperance
as the best of all principles. The boys
listened always and promised to heed their
old fathers words throughout their lives.
AT length the younger boy said he must
go to the city. There was sorrow in the
old mans house. He was troubled and
his good old wife was troubled Itseemed
best that the boy should 60 out into the
world, but he was too young. 1t was
| finally agreed, however, that he should go,
and that the older boy should go with
! him. The two youths set out with the
best wishes of the neighbors and fairly
overwhelmed with fatherly and motherly
advice.
"Be careful, boys" s0bbed the old man ;
Sdon't drink and don't boss race eff We don't
want to break your daddy's and mammy's
hearts,"
The boys promised. They went to the
city, fourished, made money and wrote
back to the old home that they were too
busy to leave on visit but urged their
father to come and see them. The old
ran finally concluded to go, and one crisp
December morning he reached the city.
He was not very warmly clad, and as he
scurried along he wondered if it would be
wrong for him to take small finger of
whisky. He decided that he needed it
he was too old and could not contract the
drink habit-he argued to himself. He
went in through one of the doors Of the
great giided palaces and stepped up to the
bar. Just as the old man called for his
drink the bsrkeeper saw him start.
whats the matter, old man ?" called
the mixer OF drinks.
"Would We mind tellin' me whar the
bosses isl" he half gasped, holding the
small glass tremblingly in his fingers.
"Oh, they's out at the barn lookin' at
their bosses"
The old man turned away. He dropped
10 cents on the bar and left his whisky
untouched.
'sPm goin hcme," he muttered; "this is
no place for the OF man. Pll go back
to the OF woman an tell her that our
boys is succeedin', but-but-thet is all |
kin tell her."
He reached the door, then, turning
around, he looked again at big sign on
the bar. 1t read:

The Kissing Spot on Note Paper.

A London correspondent writes: A fad
in writing paper is what is called lovers
stationery. 1t is fine note paper, deli
cately tinted, the most fashionable shade
being light pink. The watermark, 10 be
detected by holding the sheet up to the
light, is blending of two hearts pierced
by an arrow. In the lower corner of each
fourth page Tor reverse of each second
half-sheet) appears what at first sight
looks like blemish. But this is the
charming feature of the novelty. 1t is
the kissing spot, for here the correspond
ent places his or her lips, and thus salute
is waited to the absent lover. The kissing
spot is about the size of shilling and is
covered with thin aromatic gum that
imparts to the lips pleasing odor and
taste. A more ingenious bit of maudlin
sentimentality could hardly be devised,
yet we must all confess that it is of Just
such innocent and inane follies that the
JOY of human life largely consists.
