A Chat With Girls.

1t Just because Of the things missed
knowing in my girlhood, that I want to
have chat with you, dear girls. Some
of you have busy, weary mothers who
have never learned the blessedness of
living with you, instead of for you; some
of you have none, and to you all my
heart goes out in warmest affection and
sympathy.
Not for what you are now, for may
not know that, but for what you may be,
for the possibilities you hold in your
hands.
hope you will understand why have
chosen to speak to you, first, of your per-
sonal appearance.

cate problem, the first self-evident facts
are used as the foundation, so must We

Incompatible comfort of knowing you
are clean throughout, from dainty ear to
feet, and from undergarments to pocket

Be neat, too, about your own private
room, Take pride in knowing that
closets and bureau drawers will, at any
time, bear close inspection.
In buying new clothing, make strong
effort to get the best, even if you have to
darn and mend the old a little longer to
wait for more money. You will find it
the best economy in the END. A strong
point. too, is to select pretty and becom-
ing colors. So much depends on girls
taste in dress that it is really worth
while to attach little Importance to it.
No one denies that personal beauty ap-
peals very strongly to most natures, and
it is only natural and right that girls
should desire to look as we'll as may be.

the paper and showing it to the boys.
They looked, and one of them read aloud
"Enter not into the path of the wicked,
men. Avoid it: pass not by it, turn from
it and pass away"

Sins of Neglect.

The lost soul is not always the one
that has done the most wrong, but the
one that has neglected to repent and seek
Christ.
1t was not because the man with the
one talent tried to steal it, but because
he neglected to use it that he lost it.
The foolish virgins were not kept out
because they quarreled on the way, but
because they had no oil in their lamps. a
The man at the wedding was not cast
out because he had insulted somebody,
but because he had neglected to put on
the wedding garment.
The sentence of banishment in the
judgment will not be, because thou
hast stolen Bread" but" II WAS hungry
and ye fed me not."-Ranas Horn.

1t is Disgusting.

1t is extremely disgusting to read OF
men carrying measures of doubtful pro-
priety and morality to God to get His
endorsement and then boldly proclaim
that God gave permission or COM
manded them to engage in that pursuit.
Religion is not the result Of compro-
mise with evil. The Scripture commands
us to avoid the appearance of evil. Ii

greater than our heart, and knoweth all
things.
Now, how can Mr.. Traxler say that
God told him to accept the position OF
State Dispenser? Did not bis heart con-
denim him for even desiring the place,
and hence be carried it 70 God to shift
the responsibility of its acceptance on
Him?

money at one of the many public houses.
In consequence of this and the small

occurred at this particular house, and the

SAND.
Richmond Dispatch.

I observed locomotive in the railroad
yard one days,
1t was waiting. In the roundhouse,
where the locomotives stay;
It was painting for a journey, it was coaled
and fully manned.
And it had box the fireman was filling
full of sand.
It appears the locomotives cannot always
get grip
On their slender iron pavement, cause
the wheels are apt to slip;
And when they reach slippery spot their
tactics they command,
Aud to get grip upon the rail they
sprinkle it with sand.
It's about the way with travel along lifes
slippery track,
If your load is rather heavy, and you're
always sliding back,
So, if common locomotive you com.
pletely understand,
You'll provide yoursslfin starting with a
good oupply of sand.
If your track is steep aud hilly and you
have heavy grade,
If those who've gone before you have the
rails quite slippery made,
If you ever reach the summit of the up
per table-land,
You'll find you'll have to do 1t with
liberal use of sand.
IF you strike some frigld weather, and
discover at your cost
That you are liable to slip on heavy
coat of frost,
Then some prompt, decisive actlon will
be called into demand,
And you'll slip way to the bottom if you
haven't any sand.
You can get to any station that is on life's
schedule seen
If there's fire beneath the boiler Of am
bition's strong machine;
And you'll reach place called FLUSH

If for all theslippery places you've a good

A Turkeys Curiosity.

That mental instinct which searches
and inquiries is one of the most useful
human motives. It is only when it
shows itself in impertinent prying, or q
habit of peeping and meddling ia mat
ters forbidden or dangerous, that this
trait of nature becomes fault. We call
it curiosity" then, though to couGue
that ignoble meaning to it is more than
the word deserves.
Mr.. j. NJ. Richardson, in the Church
Union, suggests that curiosity is, more
frequently than we think, the means of
leading both men and beasts into the
jaws of.death, and may largely explain
the power of serpents and other destroy
ers to "char" their victims. He illus
trstes this by tho following story of
"The Panther and the Wild Turkey"
We were talking in Henderson, Rusk
County, Texas, one day, of wild animals,
reptiles, hunting, snake-charming, etc.,
when Mr.. J.. g. Watkins, who vas pres.
ent, spoke up and said:
"My father, Presbyterian preacher,
was one of the first settlers of Rush. He
moved from Tennessee, and was soon
joined by several of bis younger brothers.
Among my uncles was one very fond of
hunting, and he told me that one day
while riding along COW trail, near the
site of Henderson, his attention Was at
tracted by the cries and singular move
ments Of wild turkey.
"He had heard all his life that snakes
could and did charm birds and small an
imals, and he supposed that he was
about to witness something of the kind.
He stopped, therefore, to look, so that
could say that he, with his own eyes, had
seen what he had often heard Of
"The charmer, whatever it was, was
evidently up tree, as he soon discover
ed from the actions of the bird. My un.
Gle began then to examine the trees for
the snake, The movement of the turkey
aided him in the search, and he soon
discovered q waving body, glancing In
the sunlight, as it moved to and fro from
the nearly horizontal trunk of a leaning
tree. He had now found, as he supposed
the charmer-a monstrous snake.
Changing mis- position 80 as to geta bet
ter view Of the reptile, be Was surprised
to discover that the moving object was
the tail-not of a snake, but of a huge
panther, whose body was fattened out
and lying prone upon the trunk Of the
tree
"It was curiosity, and not the fascina.
tion of basilisk, that was drawing the
turkey to itr death.
"My uncle was not prepared, or not in
the mood, to encounter the beast, and so
he went on, leaving the turkey to its fate.
Neither best ror bird had paid the
least attention to him or had not, per-
haps, observed him."
The poor turkey had simply stood and
looked too long--as too many foolish hui
man beings do in the presence of glitter.
