HUNTING FOR HANDLES.
An Occupation that Is Productive of Good
Results.


An intimate friend of merchant who
had just lost his property called to ex-
press his sympathy, and found the fam
lily much depressed, with the exception
of the youngest son, who appeared as
cheerful as usual.
''How happens it, Bob" the visitor
inquired, that your face isn't SO long as
the rest of the family?"
81 suppose" Bob returned, ''that l
have been so busy hunting handles that
1 haven't had time pull it down.
Explain yourself" demanded the
visitor, laughing.
This is ALL" said the courageous
Bob. when I was little shaver, nv
grandfather used to have carpenters
bench in his woodshed and one day he
sent me for particular tool, and 1
brought it to him without the handle.
What good is that?' he cried. Are you
a fool, Bob?' Then l was mad, and
cried back: There isn't any handle to
anything there!' He seized me by the
arm and said: Bob, remember one
thing-there's always handle to every
thing! Go hunt tie hdndLe'
my grandfather was man who
knew what he was talking about; if he
said there's a handle to everything,
then, sure as gun, there's handle to
our affairs now, and L mean to find it,
No virtue is more easily impaired
than that of courage, and it is needless
to add that the whole family set about
hunting for handles and found
them.-Youth's Companion.

Saints Days.

The Puritan iconoclasticism which
tore from church walls pictures of the
lovely Madonna and gave images and
rosaries and crucihxes to be burned
which built the desolate, bare, ugly
meetinghouses of early New England,
and scowled with Bradford on the
Christmas games, was simply decla,
ration that the multiplication of pic.
lures and rosaries and images had not
made men and women more truthful,
upright, liberty-loving and self-deny:
ing; had not yet purified and ennobled
human life in England. Perhaps they
we're doing the good work, but imper-
'.eptibly to the eager Puritans- Saints
lays and rosaries. they said, will not
bring heaven upon earth. There are
probably enough dead saints in the
calendar to make a saints day of every
day in the year. But what we need,
brethren, is not so much days for the
saints as saints for the days.-George
William Curtis, in Harpers Magazine.
