A Good HOusekeeper.

The qualities of character in a wom-
an which are most essential to happi-
ness at home are summarized as fol-
lows by Miss Parloa in Good House.
kcczl5ng:
Ny idea of good housekeeping is
where a woman keeps her home sweet
and orderly, provides simple, we'll
cooked food makes her home so rest
ful and cheerful that all who come in
to it shall be better for breathing the
atmosphere of kindness and cheerful
ness that pervadcs the place, and
where the household machinery al
ways runs smoothly because of the
constant thoughtfulness Of the mis-
tress of the house. A place like this il
truly a home, and the woman who
makes such q home deserves the re-
spect and admiration of everybody.
| have seen such homes among the
rich and among the poor, for neither
wealth nor poverty prevents the right
person from filling, with the atmos-
phere of comfort and happiness, the
house of which she is the mis-
tresS.
A housekeeper's duties are many,
and, to the nervous and fretful, eX-
hausting. What seems to the woman
Of good digestion and steady nerves a
mere tritie, to be laughed at and for
gotten, may appear to the delicate,
nervous woman u calamity to be wept
over. Much of the lrritability from
which women suffer is due to their eX-
pectation of too much of themselves
and others. If women could be recon-
ciled to the inevitable, they might
make everybody about them much
happier.
A choice bit of china may be broken.
1t is like the fall of Humpty Dump
ty.
All the Kings hprses aud all the kings men
Can't put the pieces together hgain,
Is it worth the while to make the
whole household and yourself miser-
able for what cannot be helped? A
dish may be spoiled in the cooking.
1t will not help your digestion, or That
of the family, to fret over it. You
may he naturally very orderly, bu
some members of the family may not
1t Is worth the while 10 make them
and yourself uncomfortable by worry
ing over the matter? If your servant
or any other member of the house
hold does not come up to your stand
ard, throw the mantle of charity over
the faults that you cannot remedy,
and pray that Others may he equally
charitable to you.
The good housekeeper will certainly
look well to The ways Of her house
hold; but her eyes will be those of the
kind, Just woman. She will not look
for miracles she will not expect to get
the best supplies and service when
paying only the lowest price; she will
not hope to make something out of
nothing; she will he brave enough to
live within her means, even If they be
small she will not be afraid to do her
work honestly and well and, finally,
she will be so true to herself at all
times, and so adjust and simplify her
domestic duties, that she will not eN-
haust body and mind in trying to dp
two persons work for the sake Of
'keeping up appearances" How
many families lose all the comforts OF
home life in this senseless effort

The PraNing Enginccr.

One winter, several years ago. there
was a great deal of religious interest in
d certain Western town, and among
those who Joined the church was Allie
FORSYTH, little fellow twelve years OF
age. His mother was Il widow, and
had removed, four years before. from
their home in Vermont to this town II,
Wisconsin,.
On the evening OF the sabbath when
he ioined the church, Allie was sitting
in the twilight with his mother, and
presently she said to him:
"Allie, tell ne what led You to want
to be Christian Was it your home
teachings, your lessons in Sabbath
school, the regular preaching OF the
pastor, or has il all come through the
Influence of the revival meet
ings?'
looking up into his mothers face
he replied
"Mamma, it was none of these.
But do YOU remember when we were
coming from st. Albans to live here
that | wanted to go on the engine anu
ride with the engineer:
You were afraid to let ne tlll the
conductor, whom you knew well, told
. YOU that the engineer was a remark
able man, and that was just as SAFE
on the engine with HIM as on the par
lor car with you
His mother assured him that she re-
membered the circumstance very
well.
"Then," continued Allie, you al
lowed ME to ride on the engine, where
Twas to stay till you or the conductor
came after me. When about ready to
start from the station whereI first got
on the engine, the engineer knelt
down for just little bit, and then got
up and started his locomotive.
az asked him many questions about
its different parts, and about the places
and things which we passed by, ana
he was very patient in answering
Soon we stopped at another station,
\ aad he knelt down again just Il mo .
1ient before we started. AS he dld
this often, | tried to see what he was
doing, and, finally, after we had passed
a good many stations, made up my
mind to ask him. He looked at ME
very earnestly and said:
"My little lad do you pray"
"I replied, %, yes, sir! | pray eve
nv morning and evening" ,
"Well, my dear boy said he, GOD
has allowed me to hold very respon-
sible place here. There are. perhaps,
200 lives now on this train entrusted
to my care. a little mistake ON my
part, little inattention to signals
might send all, or many of these 2O0
souls into eternity. So at every, sta
ton kneel just Il short while, and ask
the Master to help me, and TO Keep
me from all harm until reach the
next station, the many lives lie has
put into my hands. All the years
have been on this engine he has help
ed me, and not single human being
of the thousands that have ridden on
my train. has been harmed. l have
never had an accident"
II have never before mentioned
what he said, but almost daily ] have
thought about him, and resolved that
I would be Christian, too"
For four years the life and words OF
this praying engineer had been con-
stantly present with this lad, and be-
came at length the means Of leading
him into a Christian li(e.-Congrega-

Never too Busy TO Pray.

Jesus appears to have devoted him
self especially TO prayer at times When
his life was unusually full of work and
excitement. His was a very busy
life; there were nearly always many
coming and going" about him: Some
times, however, there was such con
gestion of thronging objects that ne
had scarcely time to eat. But even
Fthen he fOundtime to pray. Indeed
these appear to have been with him
seasons of more prolonged prayer than
usual. Thus we read: $50 much the
more went there fame abroad of him.
and great multitudes came together tC
hear and to be healed by him of their
4 |infirmities, but withdrew himself in,
+ to the wilderness and prayed" Many
$ in our day know what this congestion
of occupations is-they are swept oil
their feet with their engagements, aud
can scarcely find time to eat. we
make this Il reason for not praying
Is there any doubt which is the better
course? Many of the wisest have in
this respect do0e as Jesus did. When
Luther had specially busy and eNcit'
: ing day, he allowed himself longer
time than usual for prayer beforehand
A wise man once said that he was toe
busy to be in a hurry. He meant that
if he allowed himself to become hur
ried he could not do all he had to do
There is nothing like prayer for pro
ducing this calm selfpossession
when the dust of business so fills
your room that it threatens to choke
you, sprinkle it with the water Of
Ilprayer, and then you can cleanse II
with comfort and expedition.

A Happening.

Strange things do sometimes hap
pen, or seem to happen. In the Ia
nous "Diversions of Perley" we read
that all the words signify fate, luck
chance, are synonymous with ordered,
decre,d and imply Il power that or
dains. But ii is convenient to use the
word happen whether or not we at
tach to it its original profound mean
ing.
One bright, warm summer day Jane
Sloan finished her heavy tasks in the
kitchen and went off into the WOO is
alone to rest and think. She was too
tired and discouraged to notice how
blue and beautiful was the sky, how
glorious the great trees reaching up to
it their crowns of green foliage. The
songs of the birds Jared on her ear
they spoke Of leisure and love, and her
life was empty of both. Why was
she born to hunger for development
she could never attain, for beauty that
could never I've hers, home of her own
and circle of friends she might he
proud of, aGd Of which she should be
an ornament? A stranger in a
strange land, a Scotch girl in far
mer's kitchen, her life was hard, labo-
rious and cheerless.
A newspaper rustled beneath her
feet, and she picked it up, idly won,
dering how it came there and what
might be in it. A bit of poetry in one
corner of the paper arrested her atten-
ton, and this was the poem:
suE CHOSE THIS PATH FOR THEE"
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1891-09-23

'Selected,"' she murmured to her
self, "well, it must have been selected
for me; at any rate, | will take it to
myself, Twill walk the path chosen for
me, and believe il will be best for
me-"
She tore out the little poem, carried
it home with her and pasted it on the
fiy-leaf Of her Bible, where she could
turn to it and reassure herself with
this voice from some unknown tender
human heart.-New York Christian
Advocate.

CERTAIN TRIUMPH OF ARBITRA-
TIoN.-The following words are from
the (English) methodist Times: :"
"A few years ago it was supposed to
be - decisive argument against arbi-
tration, that there was no possible
force to carry out (peaceably) the de-
cisions of Il Court of Arbitration. But
historic research has knocked out the
bottom of that argument. 1t appears
that when civil tribunals were estab.
lished in various civilized countries of
Europe, rs substitute for private war,
barons and other tuabulent persons
long detied and ignored the decisions
of those peaceful tribunals. At their
institution there was no adequate pO-
lice force to carry out their DEGREES
but, step by step, public opinion curbed
the insolence of the savage feudal
aristOciacy, and, by almost imqercep-
tible stages, the civil tribunals of
Europe acquired their present irresis-
tible force.'
