FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.
WAY POLLY WAS HAPPY.

-
Three little girls went out to play,
When the sun had dried the dew;
Thara was Hattie, with eyes Of gray,
And Katie with eyes of blue;
And plump little Polly. with eyes of browa--
The happiest CIR, in all the town.
They lived tolethar-in pretense-
Where two friendly fences met;
With boards for roof, from fence TO fence,
To keep out the wind and wet;
And tree dropped shadows there all the day
And kept the heat Of the sun away.
They had n carpet on the floor,
y carpet of grasses green,
With dandeliOn blossoms dotted DER,
The prettest ever seen.
Twas just like a playhouse, Of which know,
That was built in corner long ago.
Their table-it had scarlet spread
An armchair without a back.
Its legs we're painted cherry red;
OF dishes they had no Lack
For they had those that were spoiled that day
When the Kitchen table-leg gave way.
Bits Of glassware of dainty hue,
OF amber, and pink and rose.
Some that were deep, dark red, and blue,
And some that were brown; and those
They thought far prettier and more rare
Than some that were crystal clear, like air
When they went out, that morn. to play,
Said Hattie: 'The house is mine;
Kate my daughter must be to-day,
And I'll be dressed gay and fine,
And you be the servant for her and me-"
"All right" said Polly. that's what I'll be-
But Katie routed. No mol" cried she,
81 don't want TO play that way
I'll be mother. why can't be?
You shan't be it every dayl"
But then Polly touched her and whispered low:
Never mind, Katie, let's play So.
And so they played. And peeping through
Came a child aud stood outside.
"Oh, let me come in and play with youl
Oh please, let me comet she cried
But Hattie aud Katie each cried: mo, mol
We won't have you in here. we won't; now got
Polly looked through the fence. Said she:
"Oh, let her come in and playl
I'll live there by the cherry tree.
And she may go with me and stay:
Then we'll play calling aud ask you to tea.
Come in, little girl, you may play with me-"
So they played through the day so bright
Till tho dew began to fan.
Hattie and Katie each said Mt night:
ut hasn't been nice at all;
We never played such stupid play
haven't been happy a bit, to-day"
But Polly opened her brown eyes wide;
You did what you wished to dol
Twas pleasant enough to me-" she cried.
Eve been happy the whole day through"
Perhaps we know why. The sweet tempered

houses of people we know socially.
My son hasn't been brought up that
way, and / think | won't have him
learn this business"
He did not, and, what's more, has
never learned any other business.
That is one side of the picture, and
the wrong side, Now let MS look at
another case. The son of a wealthy
mill-owner, just from college. came
to his father one day and stated that
he would like TO be manager of the
mills.
: But that is impossible" said the
father, unless you practically learn
! the business"
THAT is what would ] Ike to do"
said the son.
''But to become a superb tendent or
manager, we prefer mar who has
risen from the ranks and understands
the mechanical department and the
ways of employees"
Let me begin in the ra1lss.' then"
replied the young man.
To this the father asser ted, stipu-
lating that no favor should be shown
the son, but he should actually begin
work at regular labor in the mechan-
zeal department.
Not only was this done, but the young
man went and boarded i'll the manufac-
turing town at a workmans boarding.
house, and went in and out Of the fac
tory at bell call. In three years he was
foreman of one of the departments. and
former classmate and well-known so
ciety man, calling there upon him, was
surprised at meeting stalwart fellow
in blue overalls with hands so soiled
with machinery oil as to prevent the
conventional hand-shakc.
| But tbs young man persevere6, made
and paid his own way himself, and his
father concluded itwould not injure his
future prospects.
Judging from the fact that he is now
manager of mills mot his father's) at a
salary of ten thousand year, and with
ability to com mand even better COM
pensation and partnership, is evidence
that learning business" even by mer
with a good education and rich father,
pays good return, both in money and
manly independents. Golden Days.

On the second day, the record states,
some of the prisoners began to write

they would be read by their friends, or
speak for them to the world when they

4 Lesson Gathered from the Terrible
Davs of the French Rebellion.
In a French memoir of NJ. de Som
breuil, one of the noble loyalists who
were imprisoned by the revolutionists
in 1899, is told the following incident:
Outside of the great prison of La
Force the streets were filled with a
surging mass of Infatuated men and
women covered with blood. armed with
pixies, axes and Clubs, Now and again
the gate of the prison swung open, and
an aristocrat was thrust out to them to
appease their fury.
Now 1T was an aged priest, ROW a
delicate mother, her babe in her arms;

who were loyal to the kiag were 'm
| prisoned. They could herr the clang
ing of the gate when their comrade wa

with their work of mu's der.
During three long days these loyalist,
waited here.
With the courage of their race AM

No Mercy for CoMards.

Cowardice finds little mercy in human
Judgment In the Christian life there
is reason to fear that men may be con-
troled by it, Our Lord warned His dis
ciples of their danger in this respect:
"Whosoever shall be ashamed of me
and of my words of him shall the Son
of Man be ashamed, when He shall
come in His own glory, and in His Fa-
theirs, and of the holy angels" 1t is
possible to profess discipieship to Christ
and be ashamed of His Words" There
are doctrines which He proclaimed that
are repulsive to human wisdom, and
which there is temptation to ignore.

The Value of "HOw.'

Spoken words have their chief value
in the speaker back of them. The
words 81 love YOU will cause thrill
or chill, according to the personality
OF the one who utters them. 1t is
equally true of such words as II love
the Lord Jesus" or trust in the
Lord" The spirit Of the speaker shows
itself in the tone and the look which
give the words their force. As has
been said of the different early manu-
script copies of the New Testament, so
can it be said of words spoken in behalf
of the truth of truths, they are ''to be
weighed, not counted" No prepare
tor. of sermon or of lesson is com
plete until the preacher or teacher is
prepared in his heart to feel the truth
as vital to his very life. Hon he says it,
is as important in its way as soAat he
says.-S. S. Times.

WILL WIN FAME
by the Authorship of the Columbian Ode
For the Worlds Fair.

Miss Harriet Monroe, who wrote the
ode for the opening of the Worlds fair
at Chicago, was born in Chicago in 1864;
and IS consequently twenty-eight years
OF age. Her father Is Henry S. Monroe,
long connected with the Chicago bar
and famous for having possessed the
greatest law library west of New York
city. Mr.. Monroe spent lifetime in
collecting this library, and is a devout
student of all branches OF literature.
In this he is closely followed by his
daughter, who at an early age devel-
oped literary taste. Miss Monroe was
educated at the public schools of Chi
cago, received a years tuition at the
Dearborn institute in that city and
went to the Georgetown convent
in 1877, from which she graduated
in 1879. 1t was there that her
possession of genius was first
discovered, and she was delegated to
write the graduation ode of her class
Upon her return to Chicago she devoted
herself to the study of poetry, OCCASION
ally contributing to the magazines of
the country. But it was not until she
was invited to write the dedicatory ode
for the opening of the auditorium that
she was brought into prominence. Last
winter she brought out her first volume
of poems, entitled valerie and Other
POEMS" which was received with great
favor by the critics. Valerie" is a
dramatic conception, which Miss Mon
roe has been advised to have produced
upon the stage. The volume was
printed by the De Winnie press, and as
it was an edition de luxe for subscribers
only it has never reached the public.
The ode for the inaugural ceremonies
of the auditorium was designed to be
set to music, and because of its success
as cantata Miss Monroe was invited
to prepare an ode for the dedication
ceremonies, part of which could be ac.
companied by fitting music. With this
end in view Miss Monroe started to
write the ode last October and finished
early in February. 1t contains two
sections, for which Prof. Chadwick, OF
Boston, has written the music, and
does not exceed in length 375 lines.

4 strong Proof.

The perfect adaptation of the Scrip
lures to the human mind is n strong
proof of their Divine origin. They
never wear out, out to-day command
wider acceptance and exercise more
power than when first given. They
commend themselves to all classes; the
most cultured and the most unlearned
alike find them adapted to their need.
They are at home among all nations;
there are no continental or race bounds
to their influence. They also every
where produce the same effect with
diversity of individual life the essential
Christian character is the same the
world over. That effect is always in
the direction of good, and the elevation
of men. They thus meet universal hui
man need That which is so adapted
to the mind of man must be from Him
who gave man his being; must be true,
for it is in harmony with the facts of
life.-United Presbyterian. W

Emma Abbott's Generosity,

Speaking of Emma Abbott's tender
heartedness and generosity, George N.
LOOMS, advance agent for Sousa band,
says: Zone year from the day her hus-
band died she was in New Orleans, and
she commemorated his death by send
ing q check to the lady manager of an
orphan asylum for $500. 1t was sent
unsought and received unexpectedly.
One of the provisions OF the gift was
that nothing should be said about it.
At the time of the dreadful Louisville
cyclone she sent draft to the mayor of
Louisville for 81, 900. Hers was the first
outside relief that was sent to the suf-
fercrs on that occasion. The summer
before her death she paid the tuition of
a deserving young lady, and afterward
gave her a good position. She was, in
a sense, baby woman, and the least
harsh word brought tears, and it was
common talk among the members OF
the troupe that she never went to bed
without keeling down to say her pray.

How Society in India Suffers From Won

How Society in India Suffers From WON.
ans Position.
The uplifting of India must be done
by an inborn culture; it must be done
by training the women and through
them the whole race.
To accomplish this Pundita Ramabia
has appointed for her own special task.
She plans to make teachers of the un.
fortunate widows of the upper class
and to put an end to their misery in
blessed activity. The despised widows
will thus become blessing instead OF
a reproach.
The census of 1891 showed that of the
widows in India 669, 100 We're not yet
twenty years old; 1875 had not yet
reached their ninth year-and all these
children must not remarry. If only
schools were founded where these girls
could learn to make themselves indie
pendent of their relations by useful
work and the. requirement of useful
knowledge, many tragic events would
be avoided. The English government
prevailed upon by the persuasion and
great zeal of Mrs, Mary Carpenter, has
founded a few schools and teachers
seminaries for the girls of India.
But the impossibility of breaking
through the strong rules Of caste stands
in the way of the cooperation of the
natives. Therefore houses must be
opened to these young widows where
they can live according to the rules OF
their caste, and where they can be
trained for teachers, for nurses, house
keepers, and in all branches of house.

kept of such nature, and eXpositions
opened that shall help 10 release their
minds from the bonds of ignorance. -
