Rev. DIR. Broadus recently related
the following incident during Sab
bath.schoOl talk in Detroit:
An old man used to sweep. the
street-crossings for gratuitious pennies
near the House of Parliament for
many years. One day he was absent.
Upon inquiry he was found by a mis-
sionary i'll in little attic chamber,
barely furnished with cot and stool.
"You are lonely here" the mission

you?"

Fault Finding.

I Don't get in the habit of it. It's
the easiest thing to do, and the hard
est thing to stop in the wide, wide
world. 1t ruins your temper and
spoils the shape of your mouth. Try
and see the good rather than the dis
agreeable, in the people and your sur
roundings. You would not 60 into
a friends house and find fault with
what she does, and with what she
has, and her way of living; what
right have you, then, to find fault
with those who are more than friends
to you-the people ofyour own blood?
If there is a grace that we are all
5tingy with, it is that of giving
praise, and yet it is one with which
we ought to be lavish. Why should
you tell your friend her bonnet is be-
coming, when you have never said
this to your sister? Why should you
90 out to tea and praise your neigh
boris mullins, when you have forgot
ten to tell mother how good hers
were? Whyshould you announce how

that crying will not conquer, that
persistence in naughtiness will not be

Next time the fight will not last so

The Scientific American gives this
recipe which the world ought to
know; At the first indication of diph-
liberia in the throat Of a child, make
the room close, then take a tin cup
and pour into it a quantity of tar and
turpentine, equal parts. Then hold
the cup over a fire, so as to fill the
room with fumes. The little patient
on inhaling the fumes will cough up
and spit out all the membranous mat
ter, and the diphtheria will pass out.
Then fumes of the tar and turpentine
loosen the matter in the throat and
thus afford the relief that has baffled
the skill Ofphysicians.

Truths to be Remembered.

Frugality may be termed the daugh-
ter of prudence, the sister of temper
ance and the parent of liberty. He
that is eXtravagant will quickly be-
come poor, and poverty will enforce
dependence and corruption.
The management ola household is
as much a matter of business as the
management of a shop or a counting
house. 1t requires method, accuracy,
organization, industry, economy,
discipline, tact, knowledge and capac-
ity for adapting means to ends.
There is no slight danger from gen
eral ignorance and the only choice
which Providence has graciously
left to a vicio us government is either
to fall by the people, if they are suf-
fered to become enlightened, or with
them, if they are kept enslaved and
ignorant.
Activity without Overwork, health
full living, moderation, self-control,
the due exercise of all the faculties,

judgment and the will, the nurture of

Pauper migration.
Yankee Blade,

1t is becoming more and more APP
parent that some judicious restraint
must be placed upon immigration
to the United States. We have long
suffered, and are increasing suffering,
from the bad character of many who
yearly swell our population. There
are many from abroad whom we
gladly welcome to our shores. We
have need of them, and they of us,
but there are others whom we do not
want, and who are no blessing to us,
but rather a curse. All are of the
opinion that the begging and de-
pendent classes should be excluded.
We have no room for the blind, the
halt, the lame and pauper. But there
are others who are crowding various
occupations so that it is impossible
for men in these pursuits to find en-
ployment. In some industries the
supply of labOrers so far exceeds
the demand that many connected
with them are thrown idle during a
large part of the year. Those who
are qualified to know, tell us that
while the desirable immigrants are
greatly diminishing, there is grow
ing increase in the number of the UNI
desirable ones. In March there land
ed at New York, 5,949 more immi-
grants than during the March pre-
viously. In this increase there were
1913 more Hungarians, 1867 more
Italians, and 1886 more Russians. In
contrast there was marked diminu>
ton in the immigrants from Scot
land, Ireland, Germany, France
Holland and Wales. There is almost
every inducement now to invite tC
us the inferior orders of Europe. The
ocean passage has been made easier
the dangers have been lessened; the
expense has been greatly reduced
and glowing accounts are sent abroad
Of the easy mode Of living here. Thus
the dependent classes are lured hith
er in increasing numbers, and our re
sources are yearly taxed to maintain
those whom Europe is only too glaC
to be relieved of and to fasten upol
us. There has been much talk ant
agitation upon the subject of putting
a stop to the business, but Congress
moves slowly. The public wOult
like to see some decided and homes
action taken. The Congressman VIII
moves in the matter promptly ant
succeeds in getting the right kind Q
bill passed, will not only increas
his popularity, but be accounted
wise legislator and national bene
factor. A wholesome pressure upol
our representatives at Washington t
give the country the benefit of thei
combined wisdom in the passage of
discriminating and effective imrhi
grafton law might prove stimulatin
and helpful. Presbyterian.

WHEN LABOR'S DONE.
BY FRANK PEMMoN.

How sweet to rest when labor's done,
AS slowly sinks the setting sun,
And evening joys come welcome on
When labor's done.
How sweet to earn the right to rest,
To know our labor will be blest,
That JOY will come at our behest,-
When labor's done.
When we have thought, and planned, and
wrought,
And all our worldly battles fought
Wen rest, as worthy labOrer's ought
When labOr's done.
And when we've fought the bitter fight,
Wen see at hand the welcome sight
On heavenly shores the Beacon Light
When labor's done.

DR.. o. W, Holmes on Heart-Love.

81 never saw a garment too fine for
a man or maid; there never was a
chair too good for a cobbler or a coop
er or king to sit in; never a house
too fine to shelter the human head.
These elements about us-the glori-
Gus sun, the imperial moOn-are not
too good for the human race. Ele-
gance fits man but do we not value
these tools little more than they are
worth, and sometimes mortgage
house for the mahogany we bring
into it? | would rather eat my din
ner off the head of the barrel, or dress
after the fashion of John the Baptist
in the wilderness, or sit on block all
my life than consume all on myself
before l got a home, and take so
much pains with the outside when
the inside was as hollow as an empty
nut. Beauty is great thing; but
beauty of garment, house and furni-
ture are tawdry ornaments compared
with domestic love. All the elegance
in the world will not make a home ;
and | would give more for spoonful
of real heart-love than for whole
ship-loads of furniture and all the
gorgeousness all the upolsters in the
wolrd can gather. "

Remember this-let us all remem-
Der it: No crowned queen, no general
leading great armies, could do
more than be faithful, and every lit
tie child even can do so much as that.
You are not asked to fight any enc
mics except those that are right be-
fore you. you resist and conquer
them, then some other battles may
be given you to wage by and by; but
if you do not fight the good fight as it
is, then you ought not to be given
any battle gilmore Importance. Christ
wants the children to come into His
kingdom, and He gives the children
a part in the warfare. Be brave; do
the right thing; obey Him; resist
temptation; don't give up; be wide-
awake; and, above all, trust in
Christ, love Him, be loyal to Him,
and follow where He leads. So not
only in childhood, but down to old
age, strive to fightthe good fight OF
faith, and to prove yourself a true
soldier of the Cross.-Rev. p. T. Far

" elcome to Church.

MIDI Continent.
1t is not unfrequently said that our
churches are cold and Indifferent, and
that outsiders coming in do not re-
ceive hearty welcome. Such is not
our observation or experience. There
is no gathering anywhere in which
such hearty and sincere greeting and
gladness meet the visitor as usuallyin
our churches. Their doors are widely
open and their seats are free to all
corners, even where the pew-rent
system prevails. Indeed, the general
complaint is not that strangers in
trude, but that they do not avail
themselves of the warmth of the well
come awaiting their coming. All
classes are cordially invited and
cheerfully greeted. The rich or poor,
high or low, is warmly met and
given the best the church can offer.
Ushers meet him at the door and
seat him in a pleasant place. From
the neighboring pew come the prof
ferred hymn-book. The minister
prays for the stranger within the
gates. All are glad to see a neighbor
at their service. There is nothing to
compare with this welcome, in store,
Office, railway car, place of amuse.
ment, or other public gathering.
Even in the large city churches mem
bers are ever waiting to guide the
strange worshipper to good seat. II
one is not made welcome, it is his
own fault. AS one has said:
GA church warm with the love and
sympathy of Jesus Christ is the
veetest, most helpful place this
side of heaven. More and more lei
us each strive to make his own place
of worship such church, and may
