How to Make Life Happy.

Take time; it is no use to fume or
fret, or do as the angry housekeeper
who has got hold of the wrong key, and
pushes, shakes and rattles it about the
lock until both are broken, and the
door is still unopened.
The chief secret of comfort lies in
not suffering trifes to vex us, and in
cultivating our underground of small
pleasures.
Try to regard present vexations as
you will regard them month hence.
Since we cannot get what we like,
let us like what we can get.
1t is not riches. it is not poverty, it
is human nature that is the trouble.
The world is like looking-glass-
laugh at it, and it laughs back; frown
at it. and it frowns back.
Angry thoughts canker the mind,
and dispose it TO the worst temper in
the world-that of fixed malice and
revenge. 1t is while in this temper
that most men become criminals,

Have you ever seen, or perhaps
made one of party who are going to
explore a dark, deep cayern-the
Mammoth Cave OF Kentucky, or the
Catacombs OF Rome? They all stand
out in the sunlight, and the attendants,
who know the journey they are going
to make. pass around among them and
put into the hands of each lighted
candle. How useless it seems-how
pale and colorless the little flame APP
pears in the gorgeous flood of sunlight
But the procession moves along; one
after another enters the dark cavern's
mouth, one after another loses the
splendor of daylight; in the hands of
one after another the feeble candle-
light comes out bright in the darkness;
and by and by they are all walking in
the dark, holding fast their candles as
if they were their very life-totally
dependent upon what seemed so use
less half an hour ago. That seems to
be a picture of the way in which Gods
promises of consolation. which we at
tach very little meaning to at first,
come out into beauty and value as we
pass on into ourlives. Phillips Brooks.

Seeking ssIf-Glory.

HE that speabeh Of himself, seeseth

corded of an architect by the name OF
Cuidius that, having built a watch
tower for the king of Egypt to warm
mariners of certain dangerous rocks,
he caused his own name to be en-
graved in certain stone in the wall;
and then having covered it with plas-
ter, he inscribed on the outside, in
golden letters, the name of the king,
as though the thing was done for his
glory. He was cunning enough TO
know that the waves ere long would
wash away the coat Of plastering, and
that then his own name would appear,
and his memory be handed down to
successive generations. How many
there are, who while affecting to seek
only the glory of God and His church.
are really seeking whatever is calcu-
lated to crafty self-love. Could the
outer coat, as it were, Of their pre-
lenses be removed, we should see

The statistics of the Christian En-
deavor Societies show large growth
during 1SS9-9O. 1t has been found
that societies exist in every State and
Territory in the Union and in every
English-spealing land in the world.
In all there are HOS societies with
eco, 600 members, a gain of S,541
societies and 1864 members in
eleven months. This is by far the
largest gain ever recorded in the
same length of time and equals the
entire membership of the society
during the first seven years. New
York leads thelist with l, 795 societies;
Pennsylvania follows with SIS, then
comes Massachusetts with S13, llli-
nois with 500, Ohio with 6Sl, Iowa
with 494, Connecticut with 442, New
Jersey with Ala, Michigan with 40S.
The society is making gratifying
progress in the South, Maryland,
Kentucky and Florida having
the largest numbers. In the
British Provinces are AIS societies.

Hidden snrinrs.

Away out in the Western frontier some
eccentric herdsman has arranged an
ingenious device for watering cattle.
An incline plane leads us to a plat
form, along which a trough extends.
Nowhere in sight is there any hint Of
water--well or spring or running
brook. But beneath the platform is a
living spring connected with the trough
by hidden pipes, so arranged that
watcr will flow only when heavy
weight presses upon the platform.
A thirsty COW comes along, and
swistfully at the suggestive trough.
Alas! it is dry. She goes far enough
up the inclined plane to be convinced
of the unwelcome fact, and turns re-
luctantly away. Another comes, q
gentle creature, tired and thirsty.
She is not turned back by the sight o.
the empty trough. Perhaps in the
bovine mind something akin to reason'
ing goes on: why trough if there
be no waterpn She presses boldly for
ward, and 10! as she steps upon tht
platform there is a welcome sound o
overlooking water, and the trough i
filed with the life-giving stream, al
because the persevering COW did no
stop at impossibilities, but walked b,
faith, and not by sight.
Is there hint here for the thirst
| Christian? Water enough. Oh, yes
but out of sight until the believe
presses the promise which holds tn
Divine supply! Step upon the plat
form, thirsty souls, and let the waite
gush forth.

CAPITAL NOTES.

The rage for amateur photography is on the
increase. There is hardly family without at
least one member who possesses a camera.
Most of the developing is done at some of the
big Photographic establishments, but some
amateurs are ambitious and have dark closets
where they do their own developing. The
Kodak is the popular camera because it is so
clean and convenient. When the box is full it
is sent back to the factory, where the plates
are taken out, developed, printed and mounted,
and the camera reloaded, but those who have
made some progress in the art scorn its cleanli-
ness and convenience and use more intricate
machines. | saw a collection of Indian photo
graphs the other evening made by some men
who united business and pleasure by tour
through the Indian Territory last summer.
One of the most delightful pictures in the col
lection was the welcoming smile Of the Metho-
dist missionary-a typical Yankee schoolmarm
in appearance, who from her porch saw the
travellers approaching, and unsuspectingly gave
them a smile of welcome, which the impertinent
little Kodak caught and brought to Washing
ton for the deectaton of those fortunate
enough to be invited to inspect the pictures
Another smiling picture was that of Crazy Joe,
poor hunter of the tribe, whose expression is
as happy and laughing as that of a fawn.

White House. One does not have to hunt for
