WISE SAYINGS.

Praying without faith is like shoot
ing without bullet; it makes noise,
but does no execution. - Christian
Union.
1T ought to be comforting thought
to the Christian that with every passing
day he is nearer to Heaven.-United
Presbyterian.
Cheerful, active labor is blessing.
An old philosopher says: ''The FREELY
only shines when on the wing; so it is
with the mind; when once we rest we
darken. standard.
Grace does not come to the heart as
we set a cask at the corner of the house
to catch the rain in the shower. 1t is a
pulley fastened to the throne of God
which we pull, bringing down the bless.
ing.-Talmage, in N. Y. Observer.
The very elixir Of life is often dis
titled from tears. We look up tremu-
lousy to thank the Creator, not for this
experience or that, but for all expert
ence, the whole sum of suffering and of
Joy; for not an iota of it is worthless, if
it leads us closer to Him, and gives us
that knowledge of Divine things which
is the sum of all wisdom. christian
Register.
-Unavailing regret, cherished sorrow
and remorse are, next to sin, the great
est hindrances to usefulness. Nay, to
brood continually over sin or sorrow
until ambition is unwinged and noble
purpose shorn of their strength is itself
sin. The Divine Fathers will concern
ing His children is manifestly that they
shall be useful and happy. Whatever
interferes with this purpose is wrong
Cumberland Presbyterian.
The self-denial which is commanded
in the Scriptures is always our truest
self-interest. We are sure in the end to
gain more by practicing it than by not
doing SO. The improper indulgence
which one refuses to himself may at
the time involve trial and struggle;
but the discipline and command over
his lower passions gained thereby will
more than pay for the trial, however
severe it may BEN. Y. Independent.
The great historian, Dean Milman,
once said: II should rather go to the
Judgment loaded with errors of Mes
torius than with the sins of Cyril. :"
Every right-minded Christian will in
dorse this diction. HeterodoX opinions
are an evil to be avoided, but they are
not even to be mentioned in the same
breath with a bad life. No man was
ever lost for failing to dot the is and
cross the is in his creed. 1t is wrong
conduct that brings upon us the Divine
condemnation Christian Adj
vocate.
Humility is, perhaps, developed more
generally in the estimate of our influ-
enee than in any other thing. We may
think of ourselves more highly than we
ought to think in many respects: and
when we consider our example and
words we may be altogether blind as to
their effect on others. mo one is SO
weak or so humble as not to have
weight on some mind; to modify opin.
ions or influence conduct" Each day
our speech and actions tell on other
lives.-Christian Inquirer.

In the parish of Plaquemine, Louis
lana, lives woman, original and
plucky, who up to this writing has been
to fame unknown. She is German,
with a queer, unpronounceable name,
who, as repairer of saddles and har-
ness, has built up one of the largest
and most lucrative trades in the country
side. The business was her husbands,
and at his death she left her stove and
wash-tubs to take charge of the shop.
At first the new boss employed men to
work under her, but soon grew dis
gusted with their trifing ways and de-
termined to make herself independent
by mastering the craft. This she did
in short order, and then her prospects
frightened. Not only has the indus
trious frau maintained the standard Of
her late lord, but, after fashion wom-
an have developed of late, has far OUT
distanced him in thrift and success.

which may not have been rightly con-

beside the men and women who had
only little physical energy in con,

we will feel abashed. Oh, men of the
strong arm and the stout heart, what
use are you making of your physical
forces? Will you be able to stand the
test of that day when we must answer
for the use of every talent, whether il
were physical energy or mental
acumen or a spiritual power?- Tai

Professional Women Nurses.

Many women are entering the profess
sion of nursing whose sense of honor
is not high, and whose appreciation OF
the dignity of labor is not great, but
who sees in nursing either the means OF
gaining a livelihood or way to escape
from the rather dull and petty routine
of a single girls life at home. They like
the eclat of doing no BILE work and the
independence which is essential to it,
but are unwilling to do more work than
they can help to attain their desire.
There are, however, other women, who,
in taking up nursing, often as a means
of livelihood, do SO with the highest
motives, and who, in rendering them
selves independent, have at the same
time the great pleasure of helping
others in their struggle through life.
From this class, says Murray's Maya
zine, come all our best matrons, sisters,
and nurses, and to them is due the high
position nursing holds as profession
for women

MRS TRUE, an American lady, pres
ident of japanese girls school, is
planning to establish sanitarium for
the poor in Toxic, Japan. She intends
to build training school for nurses adj
joining it, the pupils of which will look
after the inmates.
MILE. LOUISE GAUTIER, young

but taught by the Grosselin system, was
able to go through successfully all the

Paris, has been appointed teacher Of

Countess Wanda Won Szcawinska. Her
graduation thesis was remarkably

crustaceous animals and the effect Of
light and darkness upon them. The
Countess Wanda will practice in Po-

WOMEN are rapidly proving their
ability in the printing and publishing
business. Miss May +. Seymour, Of
New York, a competent stenographer,
publishes and edits the Business Wom-
ans Journal" Recently she has taken
four other women into company with
her; they own tho stock and intend that
it shall be purely woman's enterprise;
that no man shall hold dollars worth
of the stock.
Mrs. MAY FRENCH SHELDON, of Lon-
don, is about to conduct an exploring
party to Africa to learn the customs,
legends, and folklore of the natives,
and presere them in book. She will
take stenographer, but will be the
only white woman in the party, and
she expects to reach Mount Kilimar

coast, where no white footsteps have
been heard. The exploration will occu-
py three months. Isl
MISS j. GRACE ALEXANDER was re-
elected Secretary and Treasurer of the
Security Savings Bank of Winchester,
N. H., at its recent annual meeting.
She has served in this capacity for
twenty years or more, and is believed
to have been the first woman to occupy
this responsible position. Miss Alex
ander is also assistant cashier of the
Winchester National bank, in the same
building, and she has been connected
with this bank even longer than with
the other. She surely shows woman's
capacity for banking business.
Mrs. CATHERINE BANvILLE, of WASH
ington, d. c., has, since the death of her
husband five years ago, carried on his
business of horse-shoeing, and is thus
supporting and educating her four little
boys. Mrs. Banville is said to be .
thoroughly practical woman, and pays
her employees union prices. She has
done work for some of the finest stables
in Washington, including that of Sena-

be,

Thou hold'st for me bitter, heart wrung,

FOR LITTLE PEOPLE,
WINDING MOTHER.

Boys, just listen, for moment,
To word have to say:
Mahhood's gates are just before you,
Drawing nearer every day;
Bear in mind while you are passing
Der the intervening span,
That the boy who minds his mother
Seldom makes a wicked man.
There are many slips and failures
In this world we're living in,
Those who start with prospects fairest
OFT are overcome by sin;
But Pm certain that you'll notice,
II the facts you closely scan,
That the boy who minds his mother
Seldom makes wicked man.
Then be guided by her counsel,
1t will never lead astray.
Res. assured she has your welfare
In her thoughts by night and day.
Don't forget that she has loved you
Since the day your life began.
All, the boy who minds his mother
Seldom makes a wicked man.
Mortimer C. Brown, in Yankee Blade.

forgetting all about it. Also, ne very
frequently reminds himself that our
happiness depends upon the treatment
OF what we have, and not of what we
have not. And of what he has, he
takes care, as far as in him lies; in
sfead OF fneglecting it in foolish
and useless longings after what he has
not, and SO, presently, it may be, like
the dog in the fable, losing the sub
stance while following the shadow.
Moreover, he apparently never expects
things to go altogether smoothly in
this up-and-down world; and often as
he stumbles or falls, and quickly picks
himself up again, he merrily quotes:
slip-a knock-slow progress hero
And there Il cheerful run;
IT'S zig gag now, and then Jump,
And so the work is done.
"Cheerfulness," says Mr.. Smiles in
his "Self-Help," gives elasticity to the
spirit. Specters fly before it; difficult
ties cause no despair, for they are en-
countered with hope; and the mind ac-
quires that happy disposition to improve
opportunities which rarely fails of sue
cess" And the cheerful man thinks,
with the same author, "that we make
the best of life, or we may make the
worst of it, and that it depends very
much upon ourselves whether we ex-
tract joy or miseryfrom it, And then
the children. We may not pass over
unnoticed the affection which they in
variably display for the cheerful man,
and the innocence they yepose in him.
From him they fear no frowns, no
harsh rebulSe. Poor little ones" he
says, GOD knows how soon they will
have cares to fret them; he can not wish
us to come between them and their lit
tie happiness now."-Interior.

An Ant Rebuke.

There is a Unitarian clergyman who Is not
without power of keen retort. and who IS
none the less gifted with the grace TO command
his tongue rather than allow his tOngue TO COM
mand him He has in his congregation one
of those women who make pretense OF
frankness an excuse for rudeness, and who
are given TO Boosting that they are plain
spoken when the truth is that they are sim
ply ill-bred and insolent. THIS especial lady
is wealthy: and there are not many IN the list
of her acquaintance who dare rebuke her.
albeit they do together console each other
for the wounds they suffer from her tongue
by abusing her roundly.
1t CHANGED that one evening the lady and
the clergyman were partners at whist at the
house of q common friend, and so successful
were they that they won almost every game
for the evening Like people who are fond Of
having their own way the lady was IN high
humor over this success and when the play
was over she pushed back her chair from the
table with the characteristic and graceful re-
mark TO her partner:
"You do play good game oflwhist. Mr.
Blank. If you only preached as well as you
play whist it would be a treat to 60 TO church
to hear you"
The clergyman was quite equal to the oc-
casion. He kept his temper and his face IN
der perfect control as he replied:

anybody can learn whist. while genius and
good breeding come by grace Of God. Dos
