Neddy's Long Word.

"Remember, Neddy," said mamma,
one day, "always to accommodate eV'
cry one that you cam"
"Yes'm," answered Neddy, heartily,
81 will.n And mamma felt sure ne
would, because Neddy is one OF the
best boys to remember things you ever
saw.
The next day Mrs Camp called to
him as he was running down the street
with his sled flying along behind him
"Neddy, Neddy! come here a min
ute, won't you" ,
Neddy heard her and stopped
though he didn't much want to. he
was going over on Wilson hill coast
ing, and was in great hurry but ne
went up to the door where Mrs; Caml
was standing, and pulled OIL MS iui
cap with polite little bow, WnlcI
pleased the lady very much.
"Will you run down to the store 1ol
me, dear ?" she asked. VI want 9
spool of twist, and have no one te
send" ,
Neddy's eyes clouded up the least
bit in the world, but Mrs. Camp was
looking in her purse for the right
change, and didn't notice; and before
she found it, the bright sun of good
nature was shining again in Neddys
eyes, and he answered "fesm, IL
cheerfully as could be:
"Thank you," said Mrs. Camp, smll'
ing at him. Then she took O. brlght,
new dime from her purse. "Here is
something for you to buy peanuts
with,n said she, kindly, land I'm
very much obliged, besides"
But Neddy shook his head at the
dime, though he liked peanuts almost
as well as maple sugar, which is say
ing a good deal. .s
HYou're welcome as can be-" salo
he. but can't take pay for going,
Mn. Camp, cause you know, mamma
tells me always to a-abomlnate every
one can ~ ~
Didn't Mrs. Camp laugh She
couldn't help it. though she tried Sc
hard that she choked, and frightened
Neddy, who could not think what the
trouble was. aho
"Bless your dear heart!" said she
as soon as she could speak. And then
she went to the corner closet and TOOK
out little pyramid of maple sugar
more than Neddy could have 6Qugh,l
at the store with two dimes. "Ihere,
said she, "I know you like sap sugar
don't YOU? And this isn't pay-it's
present" :,
"Oh, thank you," cried Neddy, ca
gerly. "I'll 90 right home and sho"
| it to mammal
So he did and Mrs. Camp sat dowr
bv her window and laughed anc
laughed. ,, ,u. q,
"Bless his dear, little, manly heart!
said she.

It is an old and trite accusation
against human nature that 1t is prone
to enjoy rather those sermons which
touch on the sins of q neighbor than
those which attac K ones own fall
ings. There are, however, exceptions
to this rule, people who honestly wish
to be scourged into the path of
right. ,

minister: "He amt personal

"You want to see folks squirm, do

II want to squirm myself. It does

Where to Put Him.

The Fourth of July Grafton has not
gone out of fashion, but the old-fash-
toned fervid, flowery addresses, last
ing sometimes an hour or more, have
pretty completely given place to q
more concise, if less stirring, form OF
oratory. Sometimes, when these old
time orations began to be too long
drawn out, the audience did not hesi-
tate to give signs of weariness.
It is related in q Pennsylvania VII
lage that on q Fourth of July, many
years ago, a certain eloquent member
of Congress was delivering an Grafton.
He had rehearsed at some length the
virtues and achievements OF the sign.
ers of the Declaration Of Independ-
ence, and had taken up the subject OF
the greatness of Washington. Work
ing up TO the full height of his elo-
quence, he asked: :,
"In what place shall we put the
peerless man of Mt. Vernon? snail
we put him among the kings Of earth
No; for he scorned their title!
"Shall we put him among the SOL
diers? No, for he was much more
than!soldier.
"Shall we put him among the states
men? No; for the simplicity OF his
lofty genius rose superior to the de-
vices of statecraft.
I'm what place, then. shall we put
him-this peerless man"
Just then Sandy Mcdowell, a
Scotchnan, whose acquaintance with
American history was possibly not
much greater than his liking 1oI
American oratory, rose from his sea'
in the midst of the audience.
"Hoot, mon !" said he; rye can

The Little Lads Answer.

Our little lad came In one day
With dusty shoes and tired feet,
His playtime had been hard and long
Out III the summers noontide heat.
"I'm glad I'm come" be cried, and hung
His torn straw hat up In the hall,
While In the corner By the door
He put away his bat and ball.
II wonder Why" his aunty said, -
''This little lad always comes here,
When there ara many other homes
As nice as this, and quite ~ nearf"
He stood q moment deep In thought,
Then, with the ioye-light in his eye,
He pointed where his mother sat,
And said "She lives here. that In why
With beaming face the mother heard;
Her mother.heart was very glad.
A true, sweet answer, he had gtyen--
That thoughtful, loving, little Lad. ~
And we'll know that hosts or lads
Are just as loving, true, and dear;
That they would answer % he did,
"'Tis home, for mothers living here c.

"Busybodies" are three times refer
red to in the Bible, and always with
disapproval. They are persons who
concern themselves great deal about
the affairs of other persons when they
have properly and rightfully nothing
to do with them, and should be con-
tent to mind their own business. Such
persons are standing nuisance to ev-
ery circle in which they move. They
are usually exaggerating "tattlers" as
we'll as busybodies.

ASTHMA

1t Is common error to suppose every dis

1t occurs In parOxysms. .sI
Asthma ,l isa sgasmodic disease Of the lungs,

with great dihiculty OF breathing while 1t lastb;
but when the attack Is over thepatient breathes

Nervous, Humid and Dry Asthma are names
given to different forms Of this disease En-
physema is another and more inveterate kind
peculiar variety of Asthma which occurs at q
certain season of the year. Each of these

They are more liable to fall into Consuln ptiOn
because they have the Asthma Another idea
is that the Asthma itself is not q dangerous dis
ease, and yet the published bills OF mortality
for this city prove to all who read them that
great numbers lose their lives every year by
this foul destroyerof our homes.
without courage and perseverance nothing
is durable. But with these, aided by propef
