Using and Enjoying Gifts.

The following little sermon Is taken
from the Ne,D York Ledger and conveys
a truth worth remembering: 81 have
taken a resolution" said a sensible
woman, and it is this: Pm going to use
whatever Christmas things get in the
future and will use them at once. l
got very sharp lesson on this subject
the other day, and one that shall not
be very likely to forget. l went to visit
at the house of friends, and while there,
there was occasion to clean out room
occupied by member of the family
lately deceased. This lady was always
quite popular, and was always the re-
cipient of great variety of holiday
gifts. She treasured them very care
fully, and / think l saw what was
probably the accumulation of half a
score of years, possibly more. /
couldn't help wondering what she
would have said had she seen the little
tokens and mementoes that she had
priced distributed among a lot of care
less, thoughtless children. They were
the merest trifles, many of them having
no value except association. The FAM
lily did not know the source from which
many of them came; therefore, they
represented to them only certain por-
ton of the possession of their friend.
81 wonder what story attached to a
tiny pincushion in the form of a tomato
which was made out of red felt, and
trimmed with little rosette of ribbon.
Whatever the origin, it came to a
speedy and untimely end at the hands
Of a six-year-old child, who almost i'm
mediately fell down in the mud, face,
hands, tomato and all. A pen-wiper,
made of bits of old.time-looking silk,
was few hours later in the hands of
baby, and was chewed and crushed be-
yond any hope of restoration or recog-
milton. / knew that the former owner
had kept these things from some very
tenderly-cherished recollections, but, of
course, these periehed with her, and
the things meant nothing whatever to
any one else, except as playthings.
" l thought of my boarded treasures,
and wondered with little bit of heart
ache, whose children would chew them
and roll with them in the mud, in case
of my untimely taking off, and I.then
and there resolved TO enjoy and use

Do You Want a Revival ?


Do you? Your pastor probably does.
Perhaps the elders and deacons do.
No doubt there are a few sanity old
brethren and sisters in the church who
pray to God daily that the gospel may
win new and glorious triumphs in your
community. But do you, individually,
want a revival? If you do, do not say,
" There are yet four months, and then
cometh the harvest" Begin the work
right now. Ask yourself if there is
aught in your life that might stand be-
tween your unconverted friends and
Christ. AK yourself if you are max
ing his religion attractive to those who
have not accepted it. CD to God in
prayer and ask him to siren CITIZEN your
own soul that you may help to save
others. Go to the New Testament and
study it until you are able to tell sin
ners what they must do to be saved.
Begin to make list of the persons you
know who are not yet Christians.
Study this list and stuly the character
istics of those whose names appear

Reading Aloud.

As a source of pleasure few employ
ments equal that of reading with some
congenial companion. When she lends
"the beauty of her voice" to high
poetic thoughts or to the instructive
volume, or with gay accents brings out
the flavor of the humorous and quaint
conceits of others, how intensely we
enjoy, how thoroughly we appreciate!
With little pauses for criticism and ex-
changes of opinion, we go on, page af-
ter page, bringing fresh pleasure to our
literary tete-dtete. And ever after the
story or poem has for US an added
charm. Years may elapse, yet when
we see again the book our memories
recall the scene of its first perusal-the
vine-shaded piazza, with the summer
sounds and scents; or the snowy day
when " tumultuous privacy of storm"
enclosed us as in sanctuary or the
long winter evening, when the lamps
glowing radiance and the bright fire en-
HANGED our comfort, and mind and body
were equally soothed and delighted.
Some women neither know nor care
for this delightful pastime. They fancy
that special training by teacher of
elocution is essential to fit them for the
proper rendering of the thoughts of
others, and that it is not worth while to
attempt to gain the accomplishment, as
they have no special aptness for it, ig-
noring the fact that reading aloud is
one of the talents to be secured by a
judicious investment of the great talent
of time. Clear and distinct enuncia-
ton, well-trained eye, and ready COM
prehension of the authors meaning are
essentials easily acquired, and the prac-
tice of this delightful accomplishment
gives so much pleasure that it is recon-
mended as an important contributor to
that happiness which every loving heart
would fain bring into the lives of others
To read to the dear ones who are weak
or i'll, to the sufferers in hospitals, and
to aid those whose eyes are failing as
the long shadows of life's afternoon
cloud their brightness-these are bless
ings which we can easily bestow, and
by which we are ourselves enriched.

A Worse Evil than the Lottery.

With great force the New York T'rib-
une presents the peril to American
civilization through an Ubiquitous insti-
tuition, in whose profits the state of
Louisiana is partner, and says most
pertinently: "The extent to which the
lottery has damaged Louisiana, the
character of the fight it is making there,
the tremendous political power it has
acquired, and the methods it is now en-
ploying to prolong its life, are not ap-
preciated by the people of the country.
If the people knew the facts as they
really exist, it would not take long to
dispose of the lottery. The situation
presents national danger, to end, I'M
less the moral sentiment of all good
people goes quickly to the aid of Louisi-
ana, in national disgrace and ma
tional wrong" We believe it to be i'm
possible for the Tribune or any other
journal to use words in denunciation of
the lottery, wherever located, so strong
lldI VIC CduuOI lluOlcO buCin, duu VIC,
therefore, shall rejoice if public opinion
cen be so fred up on the subject that
even Louisiana shall hear and respect.
But every word uttered by the Tribune,
and every argument adduced, is appli-
cable, with immensely increased force,
to another iniquity, the saloon, in whose
profits the state is partner, which abb
solutely does more mischief in week
than is possible to the worst form of
lottery in year, and to which the T'rib-
une and the representative people of
New York are practically silent, if not
acquiescent, although the evil is right
at their own doors, and cannot escape
their observation. We do not mean to
single out New York as peculiar in this
matter, for in fact we fear that just such
spirit is spread in all parts of our
land. Plenty of indignation for in
iquity whose seat is remote and plenty
of tolerance for that which is close at
hand seems to be largely the spirit of
the representative men of the day.

Wives and Business.

The American will lavish attention
and luxury on his wife and daughters,
but he will save them the trouble of
being mixed in his affairs. His bust
ness is his, his Office is private. His
womaukind is the sun and glory of his
life, whose company he will hasten to
enjoy as soon as he can throw away the
cares of his business. In France wife
is partner, a cashier who takes care of
the money, even an adviser on stock
and speculations. In the mercantile
class she is both cashier and book
keeper. Enter shop in France, Paris
included, aud behind "Pay Here" you
will see Madame, smiling all over as
she pockets the money for the purchase
you have made. When l say she is a
partner, might safely have said she is
the active partner, and as rule by far
the shrewder of the two. She brings
to bear her native suppleness, her
fascinating little ways, her persuasive
manners, and many customer whom
her husband was allowing to go away
without a purchase has been brought
back by the wife and induced to part
with his cash in the shop.-MaT ORell

Waiting ON Table.

The expert waitress will arrange her
sideboard and side table with as much
care as she does the table itself. These
two accessories should hold everything
that may, can or shall be needed. The
sideboard may be left uncovered if the
table is uncovered. If the table is
draped, suitable cloth must be laid on
the sideboard. A side table must al
ways be draped. Use this for hot dishes
without stands. The sideboard should
hold in readiness extra plates, knives,
forks, spoons, tumblers, napkins, fine
sugar for the pearled oats, a pitcher of
water and pitcher of milk.
On the side table should be plenty of
space for whatever hot dishes are to be
placed upon it, including the muffin
dish, silver tray for placing and re-
moving everything that is not soiled !;
another tray, either of silver or carved
wood, for removing that which is soiled,
a small napkin for taking up quickly
anything that may be spilled, and a
large napkin or neat towel to be used
in an emergency, such as the accidental
overturning of glass of milk or cup
of coffee.
When she thinks that all is ready,
the waitress should ask and answer
every one Of these questions:
Does the table need anything more?
Is the sideboard perfectly arranged?
Is there plenty of room on the side
table?
Are the chairs properly placed?
Are the morning papers where they
should be?
Are any doors unnecessarily open?
Is there drawer that is not tightly
closed?
Has any dust been overlooked in the
dining-room?
Two minutes before the breakfast
hour, begin to fill the glasses with
water. This will be finished in time,
and the water will be cool and fresh.
AS to the time for placing butter upon
the table a waitress must be guided by
her judgment. In winter, when butter
is very hard, it may be put on sooner
than in summer, when it should be
kept cool until needed.
Bread must be always freshly cut

1t Was His Custom.

A clerk and his country father en-
tered restaurant Saturday evening
and took seat at a table where sat a
telegraph operator and reporter. The
old man bowed his head and was about
to say grace, when a waiter flew up,
singing, 81 have beefsteak, Goldfish
balls and bull-heads." Father and son
gave their orders, and the former again
bowed his head The young man
turned the color of a blood-red beet t,
and, touching his arm, exclaimed in a
low, nervous tone, Father, it isn't
customary to do that in restaurants ~
It's customary with me to return
thanks to God wherever am" said the
old man. For the third time he bowed
his head, and the son bowed his head
and the telegraph operator paused in
the act of carving his beefsteak and
bowed his head, and the journalist put
back his fish ball and bowed his head
and there wasn't man who heard the
short and simple prayer that didn't feel
a profounder respect for the old farmer
than if he had been the president of the
United States.-tSelected

boarding is a poor business at the best,
and can only be approved of if there is
defnite object in view. One may
keep treasures out OF sight and out of
dust and away from destruction, If a
temporary residence in some insult
able place makes this course desirable,
but to hoard for the sake of boarding,
and never TO bring out or TO use the
pretty treasures with which so many
homes abound, is little short of Sin.
To enjoy the possession of such articles
as they come into hand, is by far the
wisest way, for they are nothing to 9th

CHRISTIANS are sometimes afraid
that they shall love one another too
much; that they shall love their parents
or their children, their husbands or
wives, or their friends, too dearly.
But that danger is about the last one
that Christians are liable to in this
world as it is. The objects of love
must be proper objects of love; and
with all the loving of other objects of
love, God himself must be loved SUI
premely, and Jesus must be loved as
God manifest. But with these limita.
tions observed, no one can love another
too dearly, unless he loves that person
more dearly than Jesus loved his dear
ones. We can love wrongly, but we
cannot love too dearly. If we have
right to love at all, we need have no
fear of Overlooking. "This is my COM
mandment," says Jesus, "that we love
one another, even as l have loved
you'll. Clay TrumbuU, DID,.

CHRIST asks that our love should re-

it can hold drop of the ocean water
