Bcnutifill Things.

Beautiful faces are those that wear
II matters little il dark or fair
Whole soulcd honesty printed there
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal pancs where hearth fires glow,
Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips arc those whose words
Leap from the heart like song of birds,
Yet whose uttcrancc prudence girds.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest and brave and true
Moment by moment, the long day through.
Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministries To and FRO
Down iowlicst ways, If God wills it so.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ccasclcss burdens of homcly care
With patient grace and daily prayer.
beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers and happiness
Whose hidden fountains but few may guess.
Beautiful twilight AT set of sun;
beautiful goal. with race well won;
Beautiful rest, with work well done.
Beautiful graves, where gras. es creep.
Where brown leaves fall, where drifts lie
deep
Over wornoui hands oh, beautiful sleep.

EcarninG for Home.

1t comes To me often in silence,
When the freight sputtcrs low
When the black, uncertain shadows
Seem wraiths of the long ago;
Always with n throb ofhcartache
That thrills each pulsivc vein
Comes the old, unquiet longing
For the peace of home again.
I'm sick of the roar of cities,
And of faces cold and strange;
know where there's warmth of welcome
And my ycarning fancics range
Back to the dear old homestead
With all aching sense of pain;
But thcrc'll he joy in the coming,
When go home again.
When 20 home again! There's music
That never may die away,
And 1t seems the hands of angels,
On mystic harp, ut play,
Have touched with IL ycarning sadness
On beautiful, broken strain,
To which is my fond heart wording
When so home again.
Outside of my darkcning window
Is the great worlds crash and din,
And slowly the autumn shadows
Come drifting. drifting in.
Sobbing, the night wind murInurs
To the splash of the autumn rain;
But dream of the glorious greeting
When go home again.

The Pecan of Peace.

with ever some wrong to he rightinE,
With self ever seeking for place
The world has hecn striving and lighting
since man was evolved out of space.
Bold history into dark regions
His torchlight has fcarlcssly cast;
I1c shows us tribes warning in lcgions,
In the jungle OF ages long passed.
Religion. forgetting her station,
Forgetting her birthright from God.
Set nation To warning with nation
And scattered disscnsion abroad.
Dear crccds have made men kill each other
Fair faith has bred hate and despair.
And brother has battlcd with brother
because OF II difference in prayer
But earth has grown wiser and kinder,
For man is evolving IL soul:
From wars of an age that was binder
We rise to peace girdlcd goal.
Where once men would murder in treason
And slaughter each other in hortles,
They now meet together and reason,
With thoughts for their weapons, not
swords
The brute in humanity dwindlcs
And lessons rs time speeds along,
And the spark of divinity kindlcs
And blazcs up brightly and strong.
The seer can behold in the distance
The race that shall people the world
Strong men of Il godlile existence,
Cnarmcd, and with war banners furlcd
No longer the bloodthirsty savage
Mans vast spirit strength shall unfold;
And tales of red warfare and ravace
Shall seem like ghost stories of o.d.
For the booming of guns and the rattle
OF carnage and conflict shall cease,
And the buglc call leading To battle
Shall change TO II pecan of peace.

How thick is a coat of paintf A gall lon of the Chiffon Paint contains 23l cubic inches and covers 250 square feet of surface, two coats. If the school house is to be painted, we would like to have an answer from some of the schol- ars. The remarkable covering property of the Chiffon Paint is worthy of con- sideration-it is an item of economy not to be overlooked. The Chiffon is 8 ''ready mixed" paint. and we know that there is prejudice among many against this kind of paints. They think there is something lacking to make them perfect paints. The Chiffon is made with the purest and best linseed oil, combined with turpentine and turpentine drier, nothing wanting there. The hand and eye may vary in the grinding and. mix ing of paint, but the machinery which they use never makes Q mistake. The Chiffon is better and more economical paint than any that can be mixed by hand in the old way. Don't be behind the times you live in. Inquire about these paints and get color card.

 Rev B. F. Atwood, who was for merly pastor of the East Canaan Con- gregational church, has been appointed chaplain at the Connecticut state pris- on. He will begin his duties there on April Sd, when his resignation of the pastorate of the Bloomfield church takes effect. He is we'll fitted for his new work, especially by reason of his experience in the far west at Deadwood, Oak.

 On Friday evening, the 18th inst, a large hanging lamp fell from the csil- ing in the Masonic hall at Millerton, N. Awhile the lodge was in session. Only by hard fighting and cool presence of mind in smothering the flames with overcoats was serious confagration prevented. In commenting on the in- cident the Telegram says: "All those who have hanging lamps should take warning and see that the same are very securely hung. In this case it is SUD- posed that the hook in the wall became heated and that the wood into which 1t was fastened became charred and the lamp fell as the result. Several like cases are reported in this section as hay ing happened lately"

Rev A. c. Dixon on Marriage.

The following thoughts on marriage are taken from a sermon lately preached by Rev A. c. Dixon, 8 prominent Bap- tist preacher in Brooklyn:
 Marriage is for life. For one cause only divorce was allowed, but remar- riage never, while both parties are liv- ing. ''The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth, but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will. only in the Lord" There Is to-day more polygamy y East of the Mississippi than there is in Utah Territory. The difference is that in Utah men support their many wives, while in other States they throw them upon others for support, or cast them upon the charity of an unsympathetic world.
 Love by the husband is essential to happiness in married ife-not love of the sentimental, Thomas Moore type, which consists in saying soft things and repeating doggered poetry, but love which shows itself in unselhsh devotion, and strives to make the wife the very best and happiest woman alive.
 It. is expected that the wife shall be sweet under all provocations; but the Bible commands the husband to be sweet. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them"

Tho Woman Reporter.

It is easy to spot newspaper women all the world over. There is an air of business about them that is unmistaka- ble, and then they are always dressed for the weather. They usually come to hotel breakfast cloaked and bonneted for 8 days work, and they start out with determined air which plainly says that they are going to see all that is to be seen and great deal that isn't.
 Let sudden storm come up and it is the newspaper woman who turns her cloak wrong side out, showing pretty waterproof lining, draws forth pair of light rubbers from an inside pocket, un- furls the umbrella which she always carries and sails proudly on, putting to scorn the weaker sisters who are never prepared for anything unexpected.- New York Commercial Advertiser.

He Waa Wrong.

He carefully prepared the small gar den plot while his wife, deeply interest ed in his labor, stood watching him.
 After he had put in the seeds and smoothed of the bed his wife took his arm to accompany him to the house. and on the way she asked:
 "When will the seeds come up, JohnT
 He was one of those men who take pleasure in saying 8 smart thing when the opportunity offers, so laying his hand caressingly on her shoulder, he said:
 "I don't expect them to come up at all, Maria"
 "You don'tp' she exclaimed; 'then why have you gone to all that troubleT'
 With the smile that springs from superior knowledge he answered:
 "The seeds won't come up, but the flowers will by and by."
 But he was wrong, for his neighbor's hens got into his garden plot that day and the seeds did come up.-Nsw York Press

 To neglect to train girl to active usefulness is to land her in future mis- cry.

Women Who Make Work for Themselves.
 Why is it that some housekeepers show so little use of reason in some of their operations? l have in mind 8 woman who. when she spills anything on the stove, will catch brush or cloth and hastily wipe it off, then, not con- tent, will immediately whisk the brush or cloth over some clean portion of the stove, thus leaving part of what she had been at so much pains to remove.
 The same woman, when she puts a stick of wood on the fire, instead of drawing the brands or coals together gives vigorous poke, which scatters them in all directions, and if the fire be low the chances are it will be slow in kindling.
 If she picks up pin and puts it tenn porarily on the front of her dress, she sticks it in with the head down, 30 that the next movement of hand or arm may dislodge it. If she fastens an article of dress with a common pin, she leaves the point sticking out, so her hands are al- ways liable to receive scratches. Housekeeping.
