A canine n.gzar.

One OF the most persistent beggars
in Portland, Me-, is a collie dog. which
is very fond OF doughnuts. The coll
lie, in company with his mistress, vis-
tied n bakery one day last fall and,
perceiving some doughnuts in show
case, he sat down and pleaded, by
means of short, sharp barks, for a
treat. The clerk generously fed the
smart dog, but now he wishes that he
hadn't, for every day since the collie
has appeared to beg for moro dough-
nuts. II the shop door ia closed he
will wait outside until some one opens
it, and then dodge in to get his regu,
lar free lunch.-N. Y. Sun.

THE BEST GIFT.

We're permitted to choose for the
young person whose veal is inexpres-
sibly precious to me one gift, know
ing that it would include most that
would have his, l would choose pa
tience. I have by careful observa-
ton and analysis studied the elements
of success, and patience is an import
ant one of them. / will not assume
that no impatient man succeeds, but
will affirm that / can not now call to
mind a single one who has made a
pronounced success who is distinctly
impatient, and | am certain that they
are the exception and not the rule.
Poor, indeed, are they who have not
patience, whatever beside are their
possessions, and their poverty of spir-
it makes them incapable of command
ing themselves or their environments.
Said a gentleman whose life had been
full to overlooking of temptations,
failures and practically Emitless OPP
portunities and success in every di-
rection: "My mothers dignified, I'M
failing patience has all my life been
the strong bond that has held me more
less closely to the good and true.
When separated from her the memo
ry and the influence of it has been a
harmonizing force, as it was when |
was with her." 1t is patience that
enables one to work and wait and to
know that, although great work has
been done in early life, greater work
has been done later on. Alexander
the Great and Napoleon were justly
famed generals, Keats and Coleridge
great poets, but not the greatest. 1t
was not until late in life that Wash
ington, jefferson and Lincoln ripened
into glorious manhood. There is
power in patience, which has, as yet,
never been honored or sung. If you
are skeptical as to this assertion just
try it and you will be convinced. If
you are mother it will give you such
perfect control of your children and
such joy in their compani onship as
nothing else can; if you are an en-
ploye it will make you more valuable
and enable you to work easier; if you
are an employer it will insure to you
faithful service; if you are anything
save a hopeless drone in the hive of
life you will find it precious beyond
price. Rooted in fortitude and re-
solve, it may be cultivated in almost
any soil, SO those may possess them
selves of it who will

LITTLE DOROTHY MADE HIM GO.

What gentleness and kindness in
the treatment of dumb animals will
accomplish was demonstrated by a
striking incident that happened on
Prairie avenue yesterday.
A large truck horse, harnessed to a
heavily loaded express wagon, had
ssbecome balky." The load had over
taxed his strength, and in spite of the
savage blows that his enraged driver
dealt him he refused to move. The
man finally tried the experiment of
striking the horses front knees, but it
was without effect. The animal seem
ed entirely discouraged under the
treatment, and attempted to lie down
in the harness.
The occupants of several of the
neighboring houses were indignant
witnesses of the drivers cruelty. He
was warned that his action would be
reported to the humane society, but
the threat failed to stop him.
Finally, little Dorothy, the 13year
old daughter of Prairie avenue home,
stepped out into the street.
"Tll start your poor horse" she
said, and going up to the animal she
stroked his neck, and brushed the
snow and mud from his eyes. The
horse seemed to recognize friend in
the little girl at his side. He raised
his big nose up to her face, rubbed it
against her shoulder, and then, at her
command, settled down in the har-
ness and gave resolute tug at the
heavy load behind him. 1t failed to
move.
''Try again." coaxed the little girl,
holding the bride. There was strain
ing of straps and a creaking of wheels
and then the horse patiently started
on his way, apparently unmindful of
the deep ridges on his back and legs
raised by his owners brutality.
The little girl is a member of the
Juvenile Society for the Prevention
of cruelty to animals.

MORO: ssGod and Home and Native Land"

The Morning Star tells an interest
ing anecdote of President Lincoln:
Abraham was not afraid to speak out
about beer. He was once urged to
drink a glass of lager by some man
with whom he had business dealings.
In vain he protested that he never
drank liquors. Lager was then COM
ing in fashion, and his friend told him
that he must learn to drink it, as it
was wholesome and would do him
good. He drank it and they parted,
but the lager made Mr.. Lincoln very
sick and he never forgot it. Many
years later they met again. 1t was at
White House reception. The tall
president, who was receiving, saw his
friend coming afar off, and called out,
''Mr. W, I have never drank a
glass of lager since!' and we may in
fer that he wished he had never drank
that.

My Psalm.
BY j. G. WHITTIER.


I mourn no more my vanished years;
Beneath tender rain,
An April rain of smiles and tears,
My heart is young again.
The west winds blow, and singing low,
hear the glad streams run;
The windows of my soul [ throw
Wide open to the sun.
No longer forward or behind
look in hope or fear;
But grateful, take the good / find,
The best of now and here.
L pillow no more desert land,
To harvest weed and tare;
The mamma dropping from Gods hand
Rebukes my painful care.
break my pilgrim staff lay
Aside the toi1ing oar;
The angel sought so far away,
welcome at my door.
The airs of spring may never play
Among the ripening corn,
Nor freshness of the flowers of May
Blow through the autumn morn;
Yet shall the blue-eyed gentian look
Through fringed lids to heaven,
And the pale aster in the brook
Shall see its image given;
The woods shall wear their robes of praise
The south wind softly sigh,
And sweet, calm days in golden haze
Melt down the amber sky.
Not less shall manly deed and word
Rebuke age of wrong;
The craven flowers that wreathe the sword
Make not the blade less strong.
But shifting hands shall learn to heal,
To build a S to destroy;
Nor less my heart for others feel
That I the most enjoy.
All as God wills, who wisely needs
To give or to withhold,
And knoweth more of all my needs
Than all my prayers have told!
Enough that blessings undeserved
Have marked my erring track;
That whatsoever my feet have swerved,
His Christening turned me back;
That more and more a Providence
OF love is understood,
Making the springs of time and sense
Sweet with eternal good;
That death seems but covered way
Which opens into light,
Wherein blinded child can stray
Beyond the Fathers sight;
That all the Earring notes of life
Seem blending in psalm,
And all the angels of its strife
Slow rounding into calm.
And so the shadows fall apart,
And so the west winds play;
And all the windows of my heart
Iopen to the day

TRICKS IN ALL TRADES.

There is said to be cheating and
tricky scheming in every business, es-
pecially in the metropolis, and when
a business man is anxious to do right
he is almost prevented from doing SO.
In lines of business where cheating is
not supposed to exist at all it is prac-
ticed on large scale.
If I only had the owner to please,
said prominent carriage builder to
me, I would make a fortune in a few
years, build up my trade and give
perfect satisfaction. The principal
trouble in this business is giving mon
ey to the coachman and carriage
washers. They all expect it, and
must fee them or I will not get the
work. When I started in the bust
ness it was very discouraging, L had
the best Of work done on every car
rage. The vehicles we're made as
well as possible and repairs skillfully
done, but not a quarter of their trade
came back.
The coachman who came with the
I did not think they were hints to me.
One day I was conversing with a
boarding stable owner and he explain
ed why carriages did not come back
the second time. You have to give
the coachman a 500 or $50 bill occa-
sionally. was in the business years
ago, and the coachman used to wash
the carriages with hot water SO as to
destroy the varnish Iput on. When
I gave them money my work became
the finest in the land, and I did
great business. You must try this
scheme, and see how it will pan out.
I followed the boarding stable own
er's advise, and from that day on my
work on every carriage has been ex-
cellent. So you see there are tricks
in every trade.

pity on his face, he stepped softly
past me and walked across the lawn
where she was sitting, with the soft
light of the setting sun touching her
golden hair and illuminating her sweet
fair face.
She did not see him until he spoke
to her; and then, with quick glance,
she half rose, but sank down again
and bowed her head
I could hear him speaking rapidly
as he bent over her, but she only held
her head against the railing and would
not look up. [ saw him take her
hand, and raising her up looked into
her face. Then she broke down, and
resting her head on his shoulder,
cried as if her heart would break.
And as he stopped with his arms
around her sadly, but with the hap
piest expression on his face, somehow
felt as if all was we'll; so [ went
down to them and softly touched her
hand
At my touch she raised her head
from his shoulder and obi such
sweet smile she gave. Then turning
to him she said:
Are you jealOus?"
He laughed and then bent over and
kissed her, and she stopped and kiss
ed me. And so we walked home to-
gether-she between us and he hold
ing one hand and the other.
The wedding was held at the old
home place and all the school was in
vited. In her plain white dress she
looked as pure and unsullied as
flower, and never had I seen her face
so beautiful. The traces Of the years
of care were there, but the constrast
only heightened the effect.
And after the ceremony was over,
and she had told us all goodby, she
went over and kissed me, saying with
tears in her eyes, "But I love you
best, my little knight, and will re-
member you always"
But this was all many years ago,
and [ love to hear of her, more ma
tronly now, and bearing on her face
the sympathetic touch of mothers
love as she moves in the world which
surrounds her, and making it bright
for those across whose pathway her
life lines have fallen.
The graves on the slope are still
green in the spring, and every Me-
so1 fI,,.,
course, when the crowd, which is less
reverent and more noisy now than of
old, has celebrated the day with
speeches and salvos Of guns, and has
followed the band back to the city of
the living, now a city indeed, love
to watch the same hands, still deft
and nimble, train the vines up the
shaft which has supplanted the small
headstones, the setting sun still falls
in it's alchemic light on her hair, now
the same God who sustained her
through her years of sorrow to bring
her at last with her loved ones to the
same goal of all her earthly hopes,
whittier the spirits of those over
whose graves she bends her head,
have proceeded her.
And by her side, as she bends her
head in prayer, stands one who bears
her name, and on whose face her old
expression rests. In that resemblance
lies for me the realization of one, at
least, of my childhood's sweetest
dreams.

The Little Teacher.

/ remember her so well, as she look
ed the first day I entered school-the
pale face, made still paler by the
black mourning which she wore, the
lines of care which sorrow had
wrought, and the expression of firm
ness which seemed to linger about
her mouth.
Among all the SORROWS left by war
in that desolate little town here was
the saddest. At home [ had heard
her story The old home in which she
lived, alone with her mother, had
been one of gayety and wealth. The
only sister of three older brothers, she
was the pet of a household which for
miles around was noted for it's hospi-
tally.
Among the many visitors who
were always welcome in the house
was Paul Brandon, one of her broth
er's college friends.
Coming at first to see her brothers,
he had found greater charm, and
subsequent visits were made by love
under the cloak of friendship. Where
guise was soon perceived, and long
before Paul had ever admitted to
himself that he came more to see
Mary than her brother, the little
maiden had been mercilessly leased
by the whole family. But though
they leased, Paul had no lack of 81
lent encouragement, and one day
when he left for his distant home, he
left as the avowed lover of Mary Mar
tin.
When the betrothal had been made
public, and after several more pro-
tracted visits to the Martin home had
been made by Paul, a day was set for
the wedding. In the meantime more
potent spells had been at work than
this little everyday tale of romance,
and before the time for the wedding
came around, a line of bayonets bristl-
ed between the two homes, the Martin
boys had marched to the front, and
Paul had enlisted with the enemy.
There was no direct break between
them, but when the youngest brother
was brought home from the first
great battle, dead, with the cOmpany's
flag wrapped around his body and the
Joy for the great victory was gloom
ed by death, in a sisters anguish she
felt that her lover was more than an
enemy, and he could but accept in
silence the letter which came to him
through the lines from the home
where he had been ever welcome
written by the bier of his dearest
friend. And after the letter was sent
Mary sat down and cried her eyes al
most out, but never from what she
had written.
So four long years past away. Once,
in battle, Paul and ArthurMartin met
hand in hand. And the comrades of
either never understood why they
hinched and turned pale that once in
all their fighting. It was in breast
work attack, and by an instant, but
tacit consent, they sprang back and
turned in opposite directions.
When all was over and the rem
-nants came marching home, there
