Let me see; what is mothers boy?

about twelve years of age. He is strong
of limb, and fair of face. He is a hard
student, and an enthusiastic playfe,low
after school hours. He does not use

others. He plays with vim and
dash born of enthusiasm and good
health, but he is considerable Of
| boys younger, weaker and smaller
than himself. He is tender in his
treatment of his sisters. He does not
cause his father anxiety by doing things
that would displease him. He does not

treats his teachers with the considera-
ton that boys should treat their elders
and superiors He goes to bed early,
and is up with the lark. He has due
regard for his own personal appear

clothing clean. He reads good books to
elevate the mind. He is loving and
gentle with his mother. He finds pleas

save her weary footsteps by anticipat-
ing her wishes. He is saving of his
pennies. He is generous to those who
do not treat him fairly. In sentence,
he is manly boy. There are many
such mothers boys in the world. They
are the hope of our future. Some OF
them will be our presidents and law
makers. They will be the presi'

Octagon and Mamie.

Octagon is the name of a horse who
used to live at "a lighthouse station on
the island of Nantucket. There was a
low fence all around the house This
made good yard room, and kept out the
cows. Octagon was the lightkeepers
horse, SO he was allowed to Craze out
side the yard. Mamie, little goat,
lived there, too.
Mamie had very winning ways. She
would go along to Octagon, and, putting
her head down close to his, stand up on
her hind feet. Then Octagon would
stop eating the nice, fresh grass and
look at her.
If he was in happy mood, Mamie
would run off little way, then turr
and look back.
She would run back and forth until
the big horse was ready for play. Then
Mamie would run around outside the
fence as fast as her little legs could
carry her. Octagon could run faster
but he never did. That would not be
playing. He would gallop just behind
upNll bulI iotC ltCl
together, close to her little hurrying
ones, taking care not to touch them.
Mamie would run around and around
until she was out of breath, when she
would jump over the fence into the
yard and stand there, painting Octa.
gon would stop running too, and stand
looking at Mamie, as much as to say
What! tired with that little run? II
wasn't more than half-running; l could
go like that all day long, and not feel
tired
When Mamie was all ready for
another run she would leap over the
fence and away the two would &C
again. Sometimes Mamie would stor
to rest three or four times before shs
had finished her play. and Octagon al
, ways stood watching her When she
was tired enough to stop altogether,
Mamie would go and lie down ana
Octagon would begin eating the nice
fresh grass again.-Lilla Barnard, in
Little Men and Women.

In a. Christian Life.

While there are things which we are
exhorted to forget in Christian life,
there are others which ought to be con-
stantly remembered. When a severe
trial comes we do well to think of past
experiences and deliverances. If there
is a temptation which seems almost
overpowering it is meet then to think
of former ones which were resisted and
conquered. David could say: "Thou
hast been a shelter for me, and a strong
tower against the enemy" Many of
Gods children can adopt His language.
Our experiences may bring us aid and
strengthen our faith to endure trial and
temptation.-Chr Inquirer.

No man must come between the
seeker and God. Cor the best of men are

Some sort of reputation you must
have, whether you will or no. In
school, at home, in church, and in So
ciety, you carry ever with you the
wings of good. or the ball-and-chsin
of bad reputation. Resolve to make
it beautiful, clean, shining, gracious
Francis +. Willard.
Why should one whose life was So
full of promise be taken? Why should
he be taken so young? Why should SO
useful a life not be spared? Put all
these questions into one: Why should
our plans be defeated? Because God
also has plans. Ills plans are better
than ours They are always wise and
gracious, and are for our best interests
If Gods plans and ours do not harmon
ize, then it is right that ours should
give way. Even so. Father, for so il
seemeth good in Thy sight limited

PETS IN THE NAVY.
Animals and Birds That Receive the AZ
fections of Uncle Sans Sailors.

Animals and Birds That Receive the AZ
fections of Uncle Sans Sailors.
BY virtue of their vocation, sailors are
rough in speech and action, and can
hardly be called sentimental class.
Yet the men, as rule, are more fond OF
dumb animals, and it is an astonishing
sight, on the return of vessel from for
eign parts, to see nearly every Jack tar
with monkey. parrot or other pet.
On board men-of-war, where strict
discipline prevails, the sailors are not
allowed to lumber up the vessel with
pets at their own discretion; but there
is not man-of-war in service that does
not carry its special pet.
The Kearsargc has a big black cat,
called Jim, and for two years he has had
the run of the ship, and has taken a
voyage to South America. The sailors
have trained jim to number of tricks,
and the man who is caught abusing him
would be in peril of his life.
The pet on the cruiser Yorktown is a
monkey. He is frisky youngster and
an expert climber. He can got to the
top of the mainmaist in less than TWEEN
ty seconds if he is feeling tirst-rate.
The monkey has been trained to play
tricks on the crew He has a funny
way of tickling the ear of a sleeping
sailor with the end of his tail.
If anyone loses plug of tobacco il
can generally be found hidden in the
rigging. When the hiding place is dis
covered. the monkey breaks out into a
chatter that shows how he appreciates
the fun.
Billy, the goat, was the pet of the
Galena for nearly two years. During
that period he never left the ship
When the ship was in port, the sailors
would take turns getting grass and
clover for the goat, and they always got
a good,y supply ahead when it was
known that the ship would sooa sail

GUIDING RULES.
They Should BE Remembered by All
Christian People.


They Should he Remembered by All
Christian People.
In the Young Man, Prof John Stuart
Blackie gives these rules of conduct
which have guided him through life;
l. Never indulge the notion that you
have any absolute right to choose the
sphere or the circumstances in which
you are TO put forth your powers of SO
cial action, but let your daily wisdom
of life be in making good use of the
opportunities given you.
.. We live in real and solid and a
truthful world. In such world only
truth, in the long run, can hope to pros
per. Therefore avoid lies, mere show
and sham, and hollow superticiality of
all kinds, which is. at the best, "A paint
ed lie. Let whatever you are and
whatever you do grow out of firm
root of truth and strong soil of
reality.
g. The nobility of life is work. We
live in "A working world The lazy and
idle man does not count in the plan OF
campaign. my Father worketh hither-
to, and | work" Let that text bo
enough.
4. Never forget st. Pauls sentence
"Love is the fulfilling of the law" This
is the steam of the social machine.
5. But the steam requires regulation,
1t is regulated by intelligence and mod
Grafton. Healthy action is always a
balance of forces and all extremes are
dangerous, the excess of good thing
being often more dangerous in its social
consequences than the excess of what
is radically bad
6. Do one thing well. "Be whole
man." as Chancellor Thurlow said. "Do
one thing at one time" Make clean
work and leave no tags. Allow no de-
lays when you are at a thing; do it,and
be done with it.
7. Amid miscellaneous reading, read
nothing that you do not care to remem-
Der, and remember nothing you do not
mean to use.
s. Never desire to appear clever and
make show of your talents before men.
Be honest, loving, kindly and svmpa-
thetic in all you say and do. Cleverness
will flow from you naturally if you have
it, and applause will come to you un-
sought from those who know what to
applaud, but the applause Of fools is to
be Stunned.
o. Above all things avoid fault-fnding
and habit of criticism. Let your rule
in reference to your social sentiments
be simply this Pray for the bad, pity
the weak, enjoy the good, and reverence
both the great and the small, as play
ing each his part aptly in the Divine
, symphony of the universe.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1892-06-01

our character which would make us put
all things in accord with the prayer?
Vestal virgins fed the sacred fires on
pain of death. True fathers and moth
ers feed the flames on the home altar on
pain of spiritual death to themselves
and their children and of all that is
dearest and most sacred in home life.
But they do it too, in the sweet and
sure knowledge that where God is called
for, there He comes.-Congregation'
alist.

FOR SUNDAY READING.
A SONG FOR THE SABBATH.

Psalm G2:l-7. l2l5.
How good 1t is TO praise Thee, Lord,
To sing Thy name, o Thou Most High,
Thy morning mercies to record,
And tell Thy truth when night is nigh
The ten stringed lutte and Tyre I'll bring
And with the tuneful harp I'll sing
Glad in Thy work, Thy day I'll keep;
Iii boast the wonders of Thy hand,
How great Thy works, Thy thoughts how deep
The wicked ne'er can understand.
As grass they flourish for a day,
And then destroyed, are swept away.
Like palm trees in their stately grace.
Like Lebanon's cedars, strong and fair,
The saints within Thy holy place
Shall ever grow, and flourish there
Planted within Thy Church they stand,
The strength and glory of the land.
Still in old age their fruit they'll bear,
Their leaf abide forever green,
That they to all men may declare
That Thou, o Lord hast upright been.
Thou my rock, to whom fee,
There's no unrighteousness IN Thee
Edward A. Collier, in n. Y. Observer.

FOR GIRLS AND BOYS.
GRANDMA'S OPINION.

"Gentle boys make gentlemen"
Grandma said. Said jolly Ben:
Gentle boys are just like girls =
Dainty hands and sissy curls
Boys must run and knock about,
Kick and prance and yell and shout;
There's no fun in taking pains,
Rushing in whene'er 1t rains,
Whining If you stub your toe.
Such boys are sissy, don't you know'"
"A boy know runs like deer
But lifts his hat when girls appear;
lie laughs and yells and knocks about,
Putting all cowardly lads to rout,
And yet this boy will feel no shame
When called away from romp or game
oh, there is mother, must go;
Mother always stands first, you knowl'
Gentle boys make gentlemen"
Grandma repeated once again.
Annie A. Preston, in N. Y. Observer.

Would Remember Her.

1t is told of one of the children in a
New York hospital, who had been un-
der the care of one nurse for long
time. that when the little fellow found
out that he was to go home cured, he
put his hands around the neck of the
nurse. and said softly in her ear: my
mar,ma will never hear the last of
YOU" Was not that touching ex-
preston of gratitude?-Watchman.

AMERICAN free traders pride them
selves on the fact that the majority of
college professors are on their side, and
they assume that the same condition
prevails throughout the world. The
truth Is that the professors who take
their views, already thought out, from
English economists form the majority
of the free trade professors in this cou-
try: and on the continent of Europe,
particularly in Germany-that land of
universities and brilliant teachers, which
stands easily at the head OF nations in
advanced, educational progress pro-
tectionist professors are the rule.

TIE hope of the foreigner rests in the
democracy, their strong siding cham
aion" on this side of the Atlantic. Says
the London correspondent of Western
Mail: mo American capital to speak
of has been invested in tin plate manu-
factories in the states. With the lil1eli-
hood of the democrats coming back to
power. the Yankee capitalist was too
shrewd to sink his dollars in such an
enterprise" We can understand the
Britisher's joy at this news, but are
completely at sen when it comes to as
signing a motive which would warrant
;ubilation on the part of an American
citizen because of it. We rejoice be-
cause the news is untrue.
