PLEASURE AND HAPPINESS.

The Different Meaning of Two Words That
Are Often Mixed.
1t is easy to mistake pleasure for hap
piness. True, they are much alike.
Some one has said pleasure and happi-
ness are foster sisters, not twins-not
identical-like, and yet unlike" Pleas
ure may be found in low things. The
qualification of any desire, the most
frivolous enjoyment, or the accomplish
ment of any selfish design may be a
pleasure. Not SO with happiness. The
source of happiness is that which is
good. If happiness is made the ''be-
ing's end and AIM" there will be good
motives back of every act, and an ambi-
tion to attain only to the highest and
noblest in all things, The prodigal
found pleasure in the ''far country
but the apples became the bitterest
ashes. He no doubt, thought himself
a happy man, but he was far from it..
His happiness began with his good res

was a forgiven and a restored son. Sa-
tan blinds the eye of men with the
flash-light of pleasure. 1t el.durcs for a
brief season only, and the darkness fol-
lowing is intensified by its sudden with

peace of soul not to be easily shaken
by outward changes. "The eyes of hap
piness are soft and bright and the eyes
of pleasure are hard and glittering: the
smile of the one is sweet and tender,
and that of the other is often cruel,
and may be vacant; the hands of hap
piness are cool, and when not purpose
fully employed are still and quiet, while
the hands of pleasure are burning dry
and restless. Happiness does not grow
old and wrinlled as pleasure does
Happiness does not live on stimulants
and intoxicants, and pleasure does.
Happiness may be the source of pleas
ure. but the order can not be reversed

Gretchen Was Safe.

Gretchen, whose years number three,
and whose sweet little voice is the de-
light of the household, was holding
forth with much eloquence on the sub
ject of favorite kitten.
But" replied the aunty who was
audience, by and by your kitty will
grow into big eat, and then she will
catch the dear little birds that come
here on purpose to sing to you so sweet
ly,"
Gretchen fell into silence and strug-
gled with the problem thus presented.
She dotted upon her kitty, and the in
situation against her moral character
grieved her sorely. BY and by the cloud
passed from her face, and turning to
her aunty she cried, joyfully: But,
Aunty. it wouldn't be bad in her to kill
the little birds that don't sing nicely,
would it,"
why, Gretchen" exclaimed Aunty,
chow would you like some great mon.
ster to come along and eat you up just
because you didn't sing nicely?"
''Oh! but | do sing nicely" said log
zeal Gretchen, who bore her kindergar

succumbed to the force of circumstance:
and superior logic.-W:de Awake.

DO Not Let One Great Service Constitute

Nothing is more interesting or signif-
icant than the successive stages through
which life passes. In one stage it is
full of activity, in another it is absorbed
in achievement, in a third it has appar-
emily entered upon repose. Looking at
il from the outside, the stage of achieve
ment seems the elimination Of the whole
career, because we estimate life by deeds
rather than by development of char
acter. Many man lives on into what
seems to his contemporaries and per-
haps to himself kind of anti-climax.

old habits of life and to the quiet and
uneventful career from which he for

man of great generosity and force of

the country at large, said, almost with
sadness, that nothing remained for him

had suddenly come to him and had
been met by him with splendid cour-

not by growth, but man is always
greater than his deeds. They are only
an expression OF his nature: and

Fatal Nervous Disorders Produced by

The Breslau Deutsche Review recent
ly contained a suggestive article on the
nerves and narcotics, in which are
pointed out the deplorable results of
alcohol as affecting the nervous system:

quently found that rheumatic pains
that were ascribed to cold were moth
ing but alcohol neutritis, mild form
of inflammation of the nerves, resulting
from the use of alcohol, which disap-
peared when the habit was given up,
only to return with the slightest repe-
tition of the indulgence" 1t is further
affirmed that most habitual drinkers,
and some of them very early, are sub
ject to changes in the vascular organs,
such as fatty degeneration of the heart
and arterio-scleriosis, which lead to
grave affections of the nervous system,
like apoplexy and softening of the
brain. Finally, it may be taken as
proved, that the children of drunkards, if
they are not carried off prematurely by
brain troubles, are frequently afflicted
with serious nervous ailments, such as
epilepsy, idiocy and the like" This is cor
roborative testimony from scientific
authority Of high standing, to which all
who are addicted to the use of alcoholic
beverages of any kind will do well to
give heed. Analyst.

Thousands of men are dying of
smokers cancer, a disease which is
found only in the most highly civilized
countries like England and the United
States. Gen. Grant is a notable ex-
ample, and it is quite probable that
''Our Fritz" of the Germans, died of
smokers cancer a little lower down
than that of Gen. Grant. There are
probably one hundred men who die of
cancer of the lips and mouth to one
woman who dies of cancer of the lips
and mouth, and there is no doubt but
smoking has something to do with the
difference. Smokers are more liable to
contract cancer by reason of the condi-
tons brought about by the pipe and the
cigar and the poisons connected with
the habit, These poisons produce a
morbid condition of the parts, and in
consequence, the cells have less ability
to defend themselves against cancer
germs than they ought to have.-From

A Fascinating Legend.

The legend of unselfsh, much-endur-
ing love has always been the fascinat-
ing one, has always laid hold of the
imagination and swayed the heart as
none other does or can do. Whether
the central figure be that of the war
rior going out unattended into the
wildernt IS to fight the dragon which
has laid the country waste, or that of
the brave youth leaping full-armed in
to the gulf because the soothsayers
have declared that only the sacrifice of
the best will suffice to save the city, the
secret of the story's power lies in the
spectacle of q life laid down on order
that other lives may be lifted up and
blessed. TO be as Christ was in this
world we must serve.-W. II. Hunting

IL Is Our Duty to Assist Those horn IN
der Bad Influences to Rise.
II is very different thing to swim
with the current from what 1t is to
swim against the current, as some OF
you have no doubt found in your sum
mer recreations. If man finds him
self in an ancestral current where there
is good blood flowing smoothly from
generation to generation, it is not n
very great credit to him if he turn out
good. and honest, and pure, and noble.
He could hardly help it. But suppose
he is born in hereditary line, where
the influences have been bad, and there
has been a coming down over moral de-
clivity, if the man surrender to the in
fiuences he will go down under the over
mastering gravitation unless some super
natural aid be afforded him. Now,
such person deserves not your excori-
alton. but your pity. Do not sit with
the lip curled up in scorn, and with an
assumed air of angelic innocence, look
ing down upon such moral precipitation.
You had better get down on your knees
first and pray Almighty God for His res
cue, and next thank the Lord that you
have not been thrown under the wheels
of that Juggernaut. A man can resist
this tendency, just as in the anc' 'tral
line mentioned in the first chaptr of
Matthew. You see in the same line in
which there was wicked Rehoboam
and a desperate Manassas, there af-
forwards came pious Joseph and
a glorious Christ. But you must rec
ognize the fact that there are influences
going on from generation to genera
ton. | am glad to know, however,
that q river which has produced moth
ing but miasma for hundred miles
may after awhile turn the wheels of
factories, and help support industrious
and virtuous populations, and there are
family lines which We're poisoned that
are a benediction now. At the last day
it will be found out that there are men
| who have gone clear over into all forms
of iniquity and plunged into utter aban-
donment, who before they yielded to the
| first temptation resisted more evil than
many man who has been moral and
upright all his life. -Talmage, in N. Y.

FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.
LIFE is A SCHOOL.

List murmur Of sweet voices
From the school house DER the street,
And, when lesson time is over,
Comes the sound of little feet
And the children hurry homeward-
Work is done, they gladly say;
Books laid by and copies ended,
Toll is past with close Of day.
But, my children, stay moment,
As you patter quickly by,
When the night clouds gather softly,
And the shadows veil the sky.
Life is but school, my darlings,
And when lesson time is past
Heaven is like the Home you long for,
Where we win sweet rest at last.
So, dear hearts, remember always,
All of us have work to do:
Every dawning brings fresh lessons,
Every year brings something new.
Learn them well, and say them rightly,
Day by day. and one by one;
Then, my darlings, school time over,
God Himself will say: well done"

A Proper Prayer.

That prayer which John offered that
a brother might prosper and be in
health even as his soul prospered was a
very poor one: for woldly prosperity
and even physical health may be in
imical to mans nobler interests But
il such prayer was answered for some
men what would be the result? IL
their prosperity in secular life was
measured by their soul prosperity they
would be homeless and in rags, and so
far as health is concerned, they would
be walking specters, from the sight of
whom others would instinctively turn
away. The apostles prayer may indi-
cate the equilibrium which ought to be
maintained; but many might tremble
for themselves if told that their tenn
poral good and physical health were
henceforth to be proportionate to their
spiritual condition. Inquirer.
