A BROTHERS DUTY.
Treat Your Own Sister as Nice as You Do
Any Other Young Lady.

Treat Your Own Sister as Nice as You Do
Any Other Young Lady.
1t is a complaint from little sister
this time. She has a brother few
years older than herself, and he is like
some other brothers / have known, a.
bit more fond of some other boys sister
than his own. He sometimes speaks
rudely to her. He always has an ex-
cuse for not doing what she wants him
to do, for boys are so busy. He can not
find time to take her to lectures and out
into company, and when he does .he i'm
presses upon her how great the favor
he is showing her, and he let's her sit in
some corner of the crowded room, often
alone, while he plays games or INDUCES
in other pastimes in which there is no
place for her. He says cruel words to
her, brushes her and treats her as an
inferior being. Oh, yes, know. many
such boys, and have seen them act just
as my correspondent describes. what
am / to do with such brother?" plain
lively asks my correspondent.
In the first place, | should say be
kind to him. Teach him by your own
example of sisterly tenderness and de-
votion that he is acting an unmanly
Dart Let him see that his cruel words
Vhurt you. But do not complain too
much, for that will hardly help you,
and, maybe, some day it will come to
your brother that the love and devotion
of sister is not to be despised, for true
| love and devotion are the rarest Jewels
to be found in this work-a-day world.
Perhaps you ask too much of him. Per-
haps you exact all of his time Per-
haps you think he should not do any.
~ Ing, or go anywhere without you.
Be fair to him, and fair toyourself, and
I'll warrant it will all come out right
in the end.
THE boy who treats his sister badly
is not the sort of a boy who will go
through life without himself knowing
sorrow. l like to see boys treat their
sisters with the courtesy, kindness and
Difference that they treat other young
ladies. 1t is a manly trait in boys to
love and honor their sisters. 1t is a
| glorious sight to see brothers and Sis
tiers united, loving, cheerful and anxious
to do for each other. / ask all my boy
readers to be kind to and thoughtful OF
their sisters. 1t is one of the best ways
to be happy. 1t is one of the best ways
to learn how to be kind, and thought.

after all, where love for father, mother

DISAPPOINTMENT.
DO Not Give Up When Some Cherished
Plan Falls, But Begin Anew.

Do Not Give Up When Some Cherished
Plan Falls, But Begin Anew.
No one ever went through life with
out some disappointment What seem
the best matured plans fail, and hard
work does not yield expected results.
The best laid plans OF mice and men
Gang aft aglay,
is not a mere poetical sentiment, as we
all well know. Disappointment is not
anything to be ashamed of, provided,
of course, it is not the result of fault
of the person disappointed. We some
times do our best and fail, because cir
cumstances beyond our control prevent
the accomplishment of purpose. In
deed, disappointment may be so keen
that it may be necessary to add the
lines that follow those quoted above:
And leave us naught but grief and pain
For promised joy.
But disappointment should not lead
to encouragement. Suppose a plan
does fail, even after we have seemed to
do our best; it does no good to lose
heart and give up. We may be sure
that the little mouse, turned out of its
nest by the farmers pillow, the sight OF
which moved Burns to write the lines
quoted, did not go off and under some
clod spend the rest of its life in bewail-
ing its sad fate; on the other hand the
Industrious little animal was undoubt-
ly soon buster than ever making
another home
Some one has said that 'disappoint-
ment is not in the Christians die
tionary." That is too strong state
ment, unless it was meant disappoint-
ment followed by discourage
ment. A good way to dispose
of the word is found in
the bright suggestion to strike
out the 3D." substitute ''h,.' and thus
make it read His appointment" If
we can put it that way there is no dan
ger of encouragement. What is the
use of giving up when some cherished
plan fails? Disappointment rightly used
is splendid teacher. It4s not wise to
expect it; neither is it manly to permit
it to be such surprise as to throw us
into panic. If disappointment is used
Alright it strengthens, and wisdom is
gained by experiences; Encouragement
weakens and units for any service.
There is practical wisdom in the
inspired command: "Be strong and
of good courage; be not afraid, neither
be thou dismayed. Young Mems Era

Rough Way.
l had a friend in Syracuse who lived
to be one hundred years of age. He
said to me, in his ninety-ninth year: Il
went across the mountains in the early
history of this country Sabbath morn
ing came. We were beyond the reach
of civilization. My comrades were all
going out for an excursion. ! said:
No, won't go; it is Sunday Why,
they laughed. They said: We haven't
any Sunday here Oh, yes l said,
you have. / brought it with me over
the mountains
Their are,t two or three ways in which
we cam war against Sabbath bred}xing
usages in this day; and the first thing
is to get our children right upon this
subject, and teach them that the Sab
bath-day is the hottest of all the
days, and the best and the glad
dest. Unless you teach your child I'M
der the paternal' roof to keep the
Lords day, there are nine hundred and
ninety chances out of a thousand he
will never learn to keep the Sabbath.
You may think to shirk responsibility
in the matter, and send your child to
the Sabbath school and the house OF
God; that will not relieve the matter.
! want to tell you, in the name of Christ
my Maker and my Judge, that your
example will be more potential than
any instruction they get elsewhere
if you disregard the Lords day your
self, or in anywise throw contempt
upon it, you are blasting your children
with an infinite curse. 1t is a rough

Leisure Moments.

Young men are often at loss TO
know the best manner of spending
their leisure hours A few suggestions
on this point may be of service. Evil
communications corrupt good man
ners," and in like manner good associa-
tions exert a most beneficial influence.
The society of refined and intelli-
gent lady should always be desired. If
you have true woman for friend you
have in her a rich treasure indeed.
Seek her society whenever practicable,
not necessarily as lover, but as an
earnest friend and companion. No mat
ter if her conversation does not sparkle
with wit, or exhibit profound culture
and erudition. No matter if you are
acquainted with all her home amuse'
ments and know "all her songs by
heart" In her presence you will lose
all relish for vicious pleasures, and re.
eeive mental and moral improvement,

RELIGIOUS MATTERS.
IN THE NIGHT TIME.

An Evening Hymn for the Sick.
from the German of Heinrich Puchta
The sorrows of another day,
o Lord, are now completed;
How slow the weeks have passed away,
OF peace and rest defeated
How impotent is feeble man,
The ease seek to bring mel
In spite of skill he little can
Relieve the pangs that sting me.
And now, o Lord, the weary night
With its slow hours before me,
Regard me in my piteous plight
And faith and hope restore me.
Sweet rest will come to all around,
To me come tossings weary;
Disturbed by every slightest sound,
The hours how long and dreary?
AL eyes at night look up to Thee,
And close In gentle slumber;
But little peace can come to me,
And troubles without number.
At once Thou went among the sick,
With pc wer Divine to heal them,
o, hear me, Lord; send answer quick;
My sorrows, with me, feel them.
Speak peace unto my weary heart,
New trust in me creating;
Apply loves balsam to each part,
The fever-pulse abating.
Thou canst allay each fear and pain,
Allay my spirit troubled;
And courage lost shall regain,
My trust in God redoubled.
If in the night watch should wake,
To lie in tears and anguish

FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.
GRUMBLY AND SUNNY.

THE GRumBLIEs.
Oh, there never was yet
Such hard used set!
They have TO study, or have to sew,
When everyone knows they hate it so.
And mamma is always saying mo-"
While grandmamma's getting the dreadfullest
way
OF asking for something most every day!
At dinner there's nothing that's fit to eat;
And somebody else has the brownest meat
Or the soups too hot or the breads too dry;
And they never did like that kind of pie
So they're grumbly and growly,
And sulky and scowly,
Till everyone thinks we could get on without
them.
Poor Grumbliesl l feel so sorry about them!
THE SMILES.
But who can be glum
When the Smiles come?
They are always polite; and errands they say,
Are never too hard or too far away.
And whether they work, or whether they play,
Their faces are bright as new coined dime,
And they have just the jolliest kind OF timel
And everyones happy to have them nigh;
For if ever bit of cloud comes by
They are whisking it inside out in a minute,
And finding the silvery lining that's in it.
They're funny, and sunny,
And sweeter than honey;
And always a-scattering sunshine about them.
Dear Smiliesl Why, how could we live without
them?
