They Don't Live in Tenement Hou..


A young woman who, as the mission
ary of an east side chapel. spends her
life administering to the physical and
spiritual wants of the poor people in her
parish, has hopeful view of the future
of the German immigrants, among
whom nearly all her work is done. She
says:
As soon as the children learn to speak
English they pick up American ideas,
and before long a certain amount of
pride manifests itself Acurious indica-
ton of this is that none of the English
speaking Young people will admit that
they live in tenement houses. Ii you ask
them they will always tell you that their
home is in a fat house, while, a few have
reached pitch of refinement where the
dingy old buildings become apartment
houses.
If you went into some of the homes.
through the dark halls and up four or
five flights of rickety stairs, you might
ask yourself what tenement house real
ly is. The young persons there. how
ever, will tell you that the Hebrews in
Essex and Ludlow streets live in tene-
ment houses. This pride may be false,
but it is akin to ambition, and will make
good American men and women of the
grandchildren of the immigrants.-Ne

THE loving will ever find cause to
love, and the love-worthy will never go
bare of love. Those who have the faculty
of loving will not be stranded, and need
never despair-save when death has
taken from them their sole jewel and
age has rendered renewal impossible.

THE individual mind is limited; it can

WE ought not to judge other people
by their beliefs, because we do not know
how they have been brought about; but
we may justly apply the crucial test to

BETWEEN those two blessings-health
and money-there is this difference:
money is the most envied, but the least
enjoyed; health is the most enjoyed,
but the least envied; and this superiori-
ty of the latter is still more obvious
when we reflect that the poorest man
would not part with health for money,
but that the richest would gladly part
with all his money for health.

FRIENDSHIP has a noble effect upon
all states and conditions. 1t relieves our
cares, raises our hopes and abates our
fears. A friend who relates his success
talks himself into new pleasure, and
by opening his misfortunes, leaves part
of them behind him.

ONE OF the chief roots from which
sympathy springs is power of imagi-
nation. We may know something about
ourselves; but we are left to imagine
whatever we can about other people.
Now, if any one were utterly destitute
of imagination, he would likewise be
utterly destitute of sympathy. He could
form no idea of the condition of others,
their thoughts and feelings, temptations
or needs, sorrows or joys. How could
he feel with them or for them if he
could form no picture in his mind of
what they felt? Happily no one is left
in so fOrlorn state.

poles and stones.

An Effort to Get supper in q Country Town
After Supper Was Over.
From the New York Sun.
1t is considerable undertaking to turn a
country town out of one of its accustomed
grooves. New York belongs to any stranger
with money enough to purchase its favors, but
country town is the property Of its inhab-
itants, and they run it to suit themselves. A
New York man reached South Amboy the
other night at $50 o'clock tired and hungry.
He went to a hotel and said he would like some
supper.
100 late" said the proprietor. "Its all
cleared away.
ooh, but must have supper. am hungry
"Sorry," said the hotel man, "but we cannot
give you anything. The girls have all gone
out"
but what will do?''

spoke OF his yearnins for supper.

There is no one to send"
SWELL, don't want any bread. I'll eat sup
per without it."
1--WE have nothing but cold picked lambs
tongues. Oh, dear, wish oysters were here ~
The New Yorker walked around the town
and back to the railroad station. In a very
Misunderstanding place, suggestive Of pea
nuts. smoking tobacco and flies, was found a
man behind another counter, on which were
two or three cuts OF scent pies little thicker
than the plates they rested upon.

'But. see here, my friend, I've been all over

On the other end Of the station was another
restaurant, hung all around with notices de-
scribing the sort of language customers might
not use, forbidding smoking and generally in
dicatin8 that the place was managed to suit
the proprietor rather than his customers. The
