A Friend In Need.

The following story, told of Thad-
deus Stevens, illustrates his kind
heart. Soon after his removal to
Lancaster he heard OF an old lawyer
friend at York who, under pressing
need and hope of replacing it, appro-
priated 5000 of a clients money tenn
porarily to his own use, and, like so
many before and since his time, found
it impossible to replace it when the
time came. Ruin and disgrace ap-
preached him. Stevens hunted up
and paid the client with his own
money, and with his receipt made di-
rectly to his friends Office The old
man sat before his desk bowed down
with grief when Stevens entered.
"Hello, old FRIEND" he said, 'you
must wake up. Don't be so down.

sible you have paid that note and
then forgotten about it? Let me

ing through the receipts, Stevens gave
Cry of triumph and held up the re-
ceipt he had just been given. The
old friend was saved, and, with his
spirits, also recovered his fortune.
But, though he pretended at the
time to be deceived hy Stevens ruse,
he did not forget to repay his friend
as soon as able.-Great Divide

Women who have sons to raise and
dread the demoralizing influence of
bad associates, ought to understand
the nature of young manhood, says
Appleton's Journal. 1t is excessively
restless. 1t is disturbed by vague
ambitions. by thirst for action, by
longing for excitement, by irrepressi-
BILE desires to touch life in manifold
ways. If you, mothers, rear your sons
so that their homes are associated
with repression of natural instinct,
you will be sure to throw them in the
society that in any measure can sup
ply the need of their hearts. They
will not go to the public houses at
first for love of liquor-very few peo-
pie like the taste of liquor; they go
for the animated and hilarious COM
panionship they find there; which
they discover does so much to repress
the disturbing restlessness in their
breasts. See to it, then, that their
homes compete with public places in
attractiveness. Open your blinds by
day, and light bright fires at night.
Illuminate your rooms. Hang pic
lures on the walls. Put books and
newspapers upon your tables. Have
music and entertaining games. Ban
ish demons of dullness and apathy
that have SO long ruled in your house
hold, and bring in mirth and good
cheer. Invent occupations for your
sons. Stimulate their ambitions in
worthy directions. While you make
home their delight, fill them with
higher purposes than mere pleasure.
Whether they shall pass happy boy
hood, and enter upon manhood with
refined tastes and noble ambitions
depends on you. Believe it possible
that with exertion and right means
mother may have more control over
the destiny of her boys than any other
influence whatever.

1t is an undoubted fact that the
serving of many and heavy wines at
large dinners is gradually becoming a
thing of the past, writes George w.
Childs in the Ladies' Home Journal.
Of course, l do not mean that wines
are no longer served, for they are and
Will continue to be, so long as civil
lied men consider them feature of
dinners. But do mean that of the
varieties of wine there are fewer, of
the quantities less, and of the quail
ty lighter, than was the custom ten
years ago. Were l preparing for a
large dinner for men-which isalways
from the nature of things more heavi-
ly wined than an ordinary ''mixed"
dinner-I should not think it in the
least degree necessary to order any
thing like the same amount or assort-
ment of wines that would have been
imperative few years ago. And in
extenuation of the statement that
the qualities of the wines served are
becoming lighter, the simple fact that
at the average English dinner-table
port wine has been almost entirely
superseded by claret, may be cited.
1t is also becoming a very ordinary
thing at English dinners to meet
prominent men who do not drink
wines of any kind, and in our coun-
try this is also becoming more and
more a fact. OF course, dinner
must have fluids; the best of solids
require some liquids with which to
relish them, and dinner would be
but wasted energy and material with
out them. But l think it is no long
er imperative to serve wines, or at
least we can serve with them some
other beverage which will be of equal
pleasure to the constantly increasing
set of people who find that winning
and dining together is rather too
heavy a combination for their COM

Whore tie Got tho Information.

A friend of Sir Lubbock's who was
travelling around the world sent him
specimens of marine animals, which
he studied carefully and of which he
published description. One of these
was new to the naturalist, and, to
his disappointment, his friend said
nothing in his notes of its hab-
itat. He wished very much
to add this information to his
account. At last he thought that he
had found the important statement,
for the label on the bottle in which
the animal had been preserved and
sent home read, q S. J W." "Evi-

this means that the animal was
captured in a spot half degree west

He published this conclusion, and
rested content until his friend came
home and demanded, "My dear fell
low, what on earth made you say that

and longitude you mentioned? / was
never within 500 miles of the place. !"
Sir John produced the bottle, and
pointed to the label. 81 took the in

Singing NJ others.

AS night began to spread her
shadowy wings over the great throb-
bling world about us, from the open
doors and windows of all the houses
near came the sweet sound of voices
in song. They were mothers voices,
and no one who heard the wealth of
love throbbing in every line and word
could doubt that some one was being
rocked to sleep, that some little rest
less head was pillowed upon loving
arm, that some ones eyes were droop-
ing nearer and nearer the rosy cheek.
Yes, in every house in my immediate
neighborhood the noise and prattle of
little children are heard all day long,
and the sweet bedtime song at night.
Hark! "Bye o Baby, Bye O Darl-
ing" All, yes, that same old song
sung to us, ween, and to our parents
before us. Then in the little white
house just across the way the words,
"Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross, y
came so soft and low l bent my ear tc
catch the words. / fell into reverie.
How strong and loving and hopeful
the voices sounded, and yet l knew
some heart must have its burden.
But burdens must not be laid upon
the little hearts, to sap the sunshine
and happiness there. So whatever
trouble the mother knows, the trust
Ing eyes only see patient, loving
face bending over them. 1t is ever
so. The papers say, "Meet your hus-
band with SMILE" and our own
hearts say, "Meet your children with
a smile;" so we must go on smiling
and smiling, letting the agony at our
hearts down, down, smothered per-
haps by and by, by the very smiles
that were so hard to give.
Ah, what does the world owe to
the mothers, the patient, loving,
song-singlng mothers? Whocan tell?
How many lives have been turned,
changed completely, by the encourag-
ing smile of the mother, or the song
coming full of love and g.adness to
win her child back to the path of
Righteousness.

men were very profane, and as she
had a little daughter she feared the
example, as the great oaths followed
each other in quick succession. There
were so many of the men that she
could hardly summon courage enough
to ask them to desist, so she thought
of another way. She sang-sweet
religious songs in her clear, strong
yoice-sang with new encouragement
as the profane voices were all hushed,
as if listenining. AS long as she
sang there were no voices, and when
the swearing began and she broke
into the sweet old strains of "Jesus,
Lover of My Soul" the voices were
all silenced.
In the toughest heart some soft
spot still remains, and if an old SIN
hardened heart can thus be made
different, think of the influence on
our babies. So, dear mothers, let us
continue to sing; sing gladly if we
can, even though we do not feel al
together so ourselves. But let us
sing anyway.-Hearth and Hall.

Perils of the Engine- Cab.

1t is said that the sudden death
from heart disease of the pilot to a
ferryboat on the North River many
years ago led to the adoption of a
new rule on all such boats. The vic
tim OF the stroke was alone in the
pilot-house when the tragedy oc
CURED, and the boat and passengers
narrowly escaped disaster in conse-
quence of the sudden withdrawal, I'M
known to any one on board of the
guiding hand from the wheel. 1t
was thereafter required that at least
two persons should ALWAYS be present
in the pilot-house when the boat was
making trip. In the cab of a loco
motive, two men are regularly on
duty, and it would be an extraordi-
nary mishap which would leave the
engine wholly uncontrolled, to rush
with its freight of life and property
upon inevitable destruction. But
even where there are two persons to
divide the tremendous responsibility
between them-for it cannot be less
gravely characterized when you come
to think something may happen
which will make the situation perilous
in the extreme. Something of this
kind did happen not long ago on a
Kansas railroad, and narrow escape
for all hands was the result. The
train had just left station when the
engineer observed that the fireman
was acting very queerly. The queer
ness increased until it ended in a
violent attack by the fireman upon
the engineer. The latter by fortu-
nate blow succeeded in knocking his
assailant senseless, and at the next
station an insane fireman was handed
over to she authorities. 1t took four
men to subdue him and he soon died
in wild delirium.

ago while John Hunsicker, a farmer
living near Schnecksville, was driv-
ing his cows home from pasture a
large red fox ran out of the woods
and gave the animals a lively chase.
He finally got so close to one of the
cows that she made vicious kick at

full was the kick that it caught the
fox fairly in the head and dropped
him dead in his tracks.
