A hospital for incurables is a very
noble and worthy charity, and am glad
that no prominent city is without a pro-
vision for this class of sufferers wish,
however, that the brutally descriptive
name of such institutions could be so
modified as not to contain the death war
rant of every person received within
their doors. "a place to die in" is not a
cheerful title for ones last earthly home,
and the omission Of this reminder from
the official name could so easily be sup
piled in the rules for admittance that TO
parade it seems worse than useless. II
is wonderful how little consideration
sweetens the bread Of charity.

claimed that be had suffered loss OF

rule for the overhauling of the rolls In
quest OF pensions which have been i'm.

made manifest by a glance at the cou-

will have an examination made TO de-

the terms OF said act. and in conflict with

WILLING TO MAKE ALLOWANCES.
a Kind Hearted Farmer who Said Per-
haps the burrows Were sun Warped.

n Kind Hearted Farmer who said Per-
haps the burrows Were sun Warped.
A certain eminent clergyman. who is
greatly loved for his geutleness and for
bearance with offenders, recently told a
man that an experience of his own in
years long gone by taught him the grace
of ready excusing. When he was a boy,
he was a very poor boy, but he had al
ready a strong theological bent and was
studying hard during the winter and
working even harder during the summer
trying to get a preparation for college.
He wanted to be a preacher, and the fact
that he didn't seem TO be good for any
thing else tended to convince him that
he had not mistaken his calling.
One spring he was entirely out Of
money and had to get out Of school and
go TO work. Not being able TO find any
thing to do in the small college town
where he had been studying, the youth
call him Richard Vernon went out
among the farmers TO see " he could get
work from them He found a man who
was very busy with his springs work
and in hurry to get the burrows plowed
in a big field for potato planting. The
weather was favorable for planting; the
farmers boys would be home from school
the next day. which was Saturday. TO do
the dropping and covering. He told
Richard that he might mark out the
field with the plow for the planting. and
if he suited he might be A Vi for two or
three months. Meanth~ y the farmer
saw that the boy was very anxious to
stay, and that he had evidently a very
good disposition.
So the young theologian went TO work
with tremendous vigor. He did not stop
TO take breath until he had marked OFF a
large tract of ground with deep burrows.
Then came his employer from his work
in another part Of the farm and looked at
the boys work and leaned up against the
fence and laughed until he shook. The
potato field had been scraped and seal
loped all over with the ridiculously IT.
regular and wabbly little bitches which
Richard had turned. There was not a
clean, straight furrow in the-lot. The
ground looked rs If an insane elephant
had tossed up the earth. The furrowi
were Of all depths and ut all distances
from orfb another, for Richard had driven
the horse most Of the time at a smart
walk, and he had been too much occupied
with keeping mp and maintaining pre-
carious grasp upon the plow handles t'
be able to pay any attention to the regu
larity or evenness of his work.
Richard Vernon laughed, too, as HI
stood and looked over the field III
wiped the sweat from his brow AMI
looked very anxiously at his employer
There was no chance for regular worl
there, that was evident. His laughte
faded away, and there was a certaii
faint twitch in the corners Of his moutl
as the boy said:
Il guess you don't want any more O
my work, sir?'
"Oh, yes-yes, do" said the farmer

To Rem ember his Mother.

A company of poor children, who.
had been gathered out of the alleys and
garrets of the city, were preparing for
their departure to new and distant
homes in the West. Just before the
starting of the cars, one Of the boys
was noticed aside from the others, and
apparently very busy with cast off
garment.
The superintendent stepped up to
him, and found he was cutting small
piece out of the patched lining. 1t
proved to be his old jacket, which
having been replaced by new one,
had been thrown away. There was no
time to be lost. Come, John, come :"
said the superintendent; "what are
you going to do with that old piece Of
calicow
"Please, sir" said John, II am cut
ting it out to take with me. My dear
dead mother put the lining into this
old jacket for me. This was piece Of
her dress, and it is all shall have to
remember her by" And as the poor
boy thought of that mothers love, and
of the sad death scene in the old gar
ret where she died, he covered his face
with his hands, and sobbed as If his
heart wouldbreak.
| But the train was about leaving, and
John thrust the little piece of calico
into his bosom, "to remember his
mother by" hurried into car, and was
soon far away from the place where he
had seen so much sorrow. ....
Many an eye has moistened as the
story Of this orphan boy has been told;
and many heart has prayed that the
Go of the fatherless and motherless
would be his friend. He loved his
mother, and we cannot but believe
that he obeyed her and was faithful
child. Will our little readers. whose
parents are yet spared to them, always
Show their love by cheerful obedience,
knowing that this is pleasing to the
Lord? Will the boys, especially, al.
ways be afftctcnate and kind to their
mothers? Will you keep in mind
that if you should some day have to
look upon the face of dear dead
mother" no thought would be so bitter
as to remember that you had given her
pain by your willfulness or disobedi-
nce?---Selected. e..
