LIFE'S LESSON.

Int each heart the evil Thoughts will steal
And rob the beauty from the purest life,
Leaving the soul with bitter sorrow rife
And causing wounds that time can scarcely heal.
No chain Is stronger than its weakest link;
In word and deed we build l. good OF ILL.,
sudden strain will swerve the tnutest will,
Our acts no better than .he Thoughts We think.
We tall, but rise again II we but seek
New courage. and a higher ideal live,
Each failure use to step above. and give
New hope AID trusting faith to hearts III weak.
Thus. day by day, life'a lessons we are taught,
In weak ess gaining strength Of mind and he art
Ready to speak the word aud act the part
Of heroes who . life, long fight have fought,

DEAR II. L. C.-Friends, here l come
again. Why "Bamletw don't look so sur-
prised. Just because the ground is white
with snow is no reason that "Heliotropes"
shouldn't bloom, is it? If so please in
form me and I'll not appear again until
the proper season.
Call again soon "Alla," 1 admired your
letter so much, stating some of the ups and
downs of telegrapher's life You seem
so sensitive of the responsibility resting
upon them, yourself. III many more of
us could realize more fully the response
bility resting upon us for every idle word
and evil thought the world would be far
better. Mr.. Beecheronce said, "when there
is love in the heart there are rainbows in
the eyes and the same cover every black
cloud with beautiful colors."
How beautiful is the love OF a mother.
Nothing can exhaust it, and it never tires
and becomes weary, or fails. A father
may turn his back on his child, brothers
and sisters may lose their love for each
other and become perfect enemies. So
husbands may desert their wives and
wives their husbands. but a mothers love
is enduring through evil as we'll as good.
The entire world may condemn and load
the name of one who does wrong beyond
weight, but the mother. though conscious
of the wrong OF her child, in the face of
the worlds condemnation, loves on. and
still hopes that her child may repent and
turn away from evil. No matter how far
from right he NAV have gone, she remem-
bers the infant smile that once charmed
her very nature and filled her very heart
wi rapture. She thinks of the opening
promise of his early youth and can never
give up to think him unworthy or that he
will not come back to virtue and right.
Sister Agnes" your time is up. Come
soon with one of those interesting letters.

Who did you say that pale-faced little
child was that came through the window,
and her reason for so doing was fear OF
"Gano" scanning her face for powder?
Come here, "Moonbeam," please. Now
let me give you a lesson. Use all the
powder you please in the future. The
gentlemen will like you twice as well, and
''Gano" will, too. In fact, they will not
look at you twice if you do not. Take my
advice; use plenty of powder, and let
your naturally curly hair wave and ripple

H. L. c. FRIENDs-It is shame for some
of us old members to neglect writing az
we do. Every negligent person is well
come to reproof-myself excepted.
1t is not difficult task TO write after
one has subject, but the subject. My

the girls what makes happy marriage.
Just keep yourself from being dIsap-
pointed and you will be happy.
More truth is hidden in that sentence
than appears on the surface. To be happy

family by washing, to wear the same black
straw hat for ten years, to milk the COWS,
and to cut all the wood.
Lastly, to get along without even the

band.

Riding on the Train.

Riding on the Train.
We were riding on the train,
He held baby on his knee,
And tried to sOothe Il oft, in vain.
At each attempt more wrathfully,
It's cries rang out upon the air
He gazed around IN mute despair;
With misty ere and dizzy BRAIN
While riding on the train.
"Shut I'D the child" drummer said,
Who on the seat behind him sat;
"He's 'nough TO split q persons headl"
Such were the various cries that met
His ear. He turned with q wet eye.
Gazed at the landscape flying by.
Where late the winters snow had lain
While riding on the train.

''she'Il soothe the child with her caress;I
'Its gentle mother now 10 dead,
She's riding forward in the cxpress,o
The father said, aud on bis brow,
An agony is pictured now,
That speaks OF heart-rending pains
While riding on the train.
The drummer coughed-his paper slid,
Between him and the crowd that gazed,
And carefully his features hid
Across the aisle lady raised;
"Give tho young ehild," said she. Ito me.7
The baby laughed aloud TO see
Her out-stretehed srms-none spoke again--
While riding on the trim.
