A Friend in Need.

Mrs. Larkin was sick in bed. The
doctor said it was nerve exhaus-
ton" and she must keep quiet I'M
til she began to have a good appe-
title and good digestion, and then
she could go to work again.
1t is easy enough to tell house
keeper that she must keep quiet.
Men folks can manage for a time to
get themselves something to eat if
there are plenty of provisions in the
house. But we all know how a
house will look in little time with
no woman to take care of it, and
when the men folks have only time
to get a meal, eat it, and then rush
off to business, and Mrs. Larkin's
house was fast taking on that neg.
lected look.
The good doctor Ca LADY,, going
into the kitchen for some water, saw
the dishes all piled into the dish
pan, and she kindly washed them
and put the kitchen to rights.
Mrs. James, hearing of Mrs Lar
kin s sickness, took her thimble and
went in to see her. After the first
salutations were over Mrs. James
inquired; "Where is your stocking
bag?"
She was directed where to find it
and she sat down by the bedside
talking in a way not to fatigue the
patient, and darned till all the pairs
were folded neatly and ready to put
away in the drawers. She knew
how much easier the task of stock
darning is if it is attended to every
week than if it is suffered to 90
over, and she knew that Mrs. Lar
kin would get we'll much more
speedily if she felt that her work
was not accommodating all the time.
When the stockings were done she
found the fannels and went over
them, making them sound and put
ting them in their places.
That is a great load off my
mind, said Mrs. Larkin, when all
the mending was done, land I'm a
thousand times obliged to you"
Don't mention it, was the quick
response. Perhaps you've forgot
ten how, when my Theresa was
born, you came in and got little
George and kept him till was able
to be about the house again. But
I've not forgotten it, and l never
shall"
Thus did these two neighbors
bear each others burdens and so
fulfill the law of Christ.

''If you saw it there, it must be
there of course but suppose you go
and fetch it,"
John goes to the corn-crib, and
presently returns with a small axe
in his hand.
"Oh, it was the axe l saw; the
handle sticking out from half
bushel measure; l thought it was
the hammer"
You said positively that you did
see the hammer, not that you
thought you saw it. There is a
great difference between to two an
swers. Do not permit yourself to
make a positive statement, even
about small matter, unless you
are quite sure; for, if you do, you
will find the habit growing upon
you, and by-and-by you will begin
to make loose replies to questions
of great Importance. Don't be toe
certain"

HOME AND YOUNG FOLKS.
After All.
BY SUSAN COOLIDGE.

BY SUSAN COOLIDGE.
Grief is strong, but Joy is stronger;
Night is long, but day is longer.
When Life's riddle solves and clears,
And the angels in our ears
Whisper the sweet answer low
(Answer full of love and blessing),
How our wonderment will grow
At the blindness of our guessing;
All the hard things we recall
Made so easy-after all !
Earth is sweet, but Heaven is sweeter;
Love complete, but Faith completer.
Close beside our wandering ways,
Through dark nights and weary days,
Stand the angels with bright eyes;
And the shadow of the cross
Falls upon and sanctifies
All our pain and all our loss.
Though we stumble, though we fall,
God is helping-after all
Sigh then. soul, but sing in signing
To the happier things replying:
Dry the tears that dim thy seeing,
Give glad thoughts for life and being
Time is but the little entry
To Eternity's large dwelling,
And the heavenly guards keep sentry,
Urging, guiding, half compelling,
Till, the puzzling way quite past,
Thou shalt enter in-at last

Don't Be Too Positive.

Boys, don't be too certain. Re-
member that nothing is easier than
to be mistaken; and if you permit
yourself to be so very positive in
your mistakes a great many times,
everybody will lose confidence in
what you say. Never make posi-
tive statement unless you know it
is as you say. If you have any
doubts, or if there is room for any,
remove the possibility by examine
ton before speaking, or speak eau
tiousiy. Don't be too certain.
"John, where is the hammer"
cit is in the corn-crib."
"No, it's not there; I have just
been looking there"
"Well, know it is / saw it there
not half an hour ago."

The Fox that Logt Lis Tail

A young fox going through a
wood had the misfortune to be
caught in trap. After great effort
he succeeded in freeing himself, but
not without the loss Of his tail,
which still remained in the trap.
In his Joy at his escape he cared lit
tie for the loss until he saw his re-
Election in clear stream, at which
he stopped to drink. Then his de-
formity appeared to him so great
that he cast about in his mind for
some way to remedy it. He soon
hit upon plan, and proceeded to
carry it out. He returned to the
trap and by working very carefully
managed to get out the tail without
further injury, and after much
trouble succeeded by means of burrs
In sticking it fast to the stump of
brush which had been left on his
body.
But when he went back among
his friends and neighbors he found
it was not so easy thing to keep
his secret, for he was no longer able
to move the tail with his former
ease, and he was in constant fear of
its coming off.
Now, instead of frankly telling
what had happened, he refused to
join in the sports and gambols of
his friends on the false pretense
that those pastimes we're unbecom-
inc TO his dignity and uutrutbfu1Iv
said that he did not now care for
such amusements. So while the
others we're enjoying their usual
recreations he sat quietly apart by
himself until his health suffered
very greatly from lack of needful
exercise, and at last he became 80
i'll that he was obliged to call doc
tor, who, being a wise old fox, was
not long in discovering the true
state of the case.

In Self.Defense.

Frank Bascom was the eldest
child of large family. There were
boys among the younger children,
but they were too widely separated
in age from him to admit of COM
panionship, and so he was compell-
ed to find that elsewhere. But no
pains were spared, and no expense,
on the part of his parents to make
his room attractive and to keep
him in it. Whatever he wanted in
the way of material for happiness
was abundantly supplied. He had
his rod and his gun and his bicycle
and boxing gloves, and what not
But Frank was gregarious, and how
could he flock" alone? He mast
have companions, and plenty of
them; and his father plainly saw
that if be didn't choose Frank S
companions for hum he would choose
them for himself, and that was how
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton in BascOmville came to be
started
When Mr.. Bascom looked about
him to see what material there was
in the place for such an institution
of course he found plenty of obsta-
cles in the way but Franks saliva

reading-room was opened, nodes
gymnasium was shortly added. and
the movement went on until now

While John Warren was away
from home at preparatory school
and college and the law school, the
tone of the neigh borhood in which
was his home changed utterly.
From farming town it had become
a great manufacturing center,
giving employment to hundreds of
young men and women. During
his vacations spent at home he had
been too much preoccupied with
other things to take any very vital
interest in the bitter fight his faith
er was waging against the wretch
ed saloons that sprang up at
every corner. But now that he had
come home for quite a stay to help
his father the condition of things
was borne in ON him most power
fully.
He became so reused over a spec
tacle he saw one night that he sat
up most of the night writing a real
ly eloquent and forceful appeal to
the citizens of the place to use some
means to check and counteract the
utter ruin that the young men and
women of the mills were bringing
on themselves. He offered to do
nate his spare time to the enter
prise of forming an association open
to both sexes, and to giving educa-
tiOnal talks.
Thus was the ball set rolling.
The matter was taken up in earnest
by many of the citizens, who saw
that in sheer self defense they must
stand up against the tides of vice
and sin, of beer and whisky, that
were threatening to engulf them.
Counsel was taken with men and
women engaged in enterprises of
this character, and in a short time
the Young Peoples Association was
on the way to assured success, but a
success that must be fought for inch
by inch. The enemy seems never
to sleep. Till twelve o'clock the
saloons send forth their glare of
light to lure the late passer to his
ruin. But after an evening in rooms
that are bright and cheerful, and in
association with interesting and
virtuous companions, who can step
down into the reeking atmosphere
of a saloon2
John Warren is still manfully at
work fighting the foe and gaining
fresh strength and fresh allies every
day.

No ONE can read the frightful de-
tails of the five lynchings reported
last week in Southern states, with six
victims, without realizing the lament
able plight into which Southern
courts have fallen, though Southerners
have it in their power to establish
any system of justice they please. In
Vicksburg two negroes were dragged
from jail, and then from the court
room and hanged, the local militia
refusing to defend the poor wretches.
The victim Of mob in Clay county,
Ala, ''went the usual way" the dis
patches laconically reported ; while in
Jasper, Ala, 200 men and dogs
pursued an untried and unconvicted
negro through the streets for blocks
until he fell rlddled with bullets.
This lawlessness works woe to all
concerned. Mobs provoke mobs, as
illustrated in the restlessness Of the
negroes at Jacksonville, who are
arming. Crime breeds crime, and
violence will go on in cumulative ratio
until reason and justice guide the
actions of men. The men of the
South are sowing the wind and will
reap the whirlwind.

A Remarkable woman.

Details are given by the Bosnia
papers of the strange career of wom-
an named Mia, who has been sentenced
TO death by the district court of Pazar-
evac, In Servia. This woman has for
ten years been the terror Of northeast
ern Servia. In 1851 prize of two hum
dred ducats was offered for her capture,
two years later Eve hundred were Of
fered, and In 1890 the promised reward
was increased To- one thousand ducats.
She had band of devoted Haiducl1s,
with whom she committed her rob-
berries She never went about other
wise than in mans dress, with all her
weapons in her belt and rife on her
shoulder. Young, handsome and a per-
feet markswoman, she was the beau
ideal of her band. She had lover
named Petrovitch, who fell i'll some
time ago, and whom she nursed with
devotion in cave on the Roumanian
frontier. Her people told her in good
time that she was watched and must fly
for safety, but she refused to abandon
her sick lover. After the battle with
the gendarmes, two of whom she killed,
she was captured In the court she
spoke for over an hour in her defense,
and when sentence was pronounced
listened to it with stolid indifference.
