1t COuld Re Done.

A Catholic paper says that the arch bishop of Cashel, examining little boy on the catechism, asked him, What is matrimony?" The little fellow couldn't t recall the words of the answer, but, de termined not to be beaten, replied, Two people getting married. your grace. Gould two little boys get mar riedT' pursued the archbishop. "Yis. your grace. " "How is that?' ITO two little girls, your grace.

A Time Saver.

It is the fashion now for ladies' maids to keep diaries two or three weeks ahead of their mistresses' probable engage ments, putting the name of the dress against the day. The lady looks at the list at the beginning of each week, and if she does not approve of the gowns to be worn ehe alters It. It saves a great deal of furry at the time of dressing.

Curious,

A domestic, newly engaged, presented to his master one morning a pair of boots the leg of one of which was much longer than the other. How comes it that these boots are not the same length?" "I really don't know, sir, but what bothers me the most is that the pair down stairs arc in the same fix !" Boston Woman S Journal.

ing the violin, 'put that coin Ill your pockets. Tho coin was put in the old mans pockets. Then he held his hat again. and the violinist played more sweetly than ever and played until some of the people wept and some shouted. And again the hat was filled with coin. Then the violinist dropped the instru- ment and passed off, and the whisper went, 'Who is it, who is it?" and some one just entering the crowd said: Why, that is Bacher, the great violinist, known all through the realm. Yes, that is the great yiolinist " The fact was, he had just taken that mans place, and assum- ed his poverty, and borne his burden, and played his music, and earned his liveli- hood, and made sacrifice for the poor old man. So the Lord Jesus Christ comes down, and he finds us in our spiritual penury, and across the broken strings of his own broken heart he strikes strain of infinite music which wins the attention of earth and heaven. He takes our poverty. He plays our music. He weeps our sorrow. He dies our death. A sacrifice for you, a sacrifice for me.
 Oh, will you accept this sacrifice now? do not single out this and that man and this and that woman. But say all may come. The sacrifice is so great all may be saved Does it not seem to you as if heaven was very near? l can feel its breath on my cheek. God is near. Christ is near. The Holy Spirit is near. Ministering angels are near, your glorified kindred in heaven near, your Christian father near, your glori- fed mother near, your departed chil- dren near. Your redemption is near.
 Troubles That Never Came.
 Some one has said, 1T have been sur. rounded by troubles all .py life long, but there is curious thifig about them -nine-tenths of them never happened" quotes Mrs Van Koert Schuyler in an earnest plea to women on Living Be- yond Their Strength" in The Ladies Home Journal
 once heard of lady who wrote down in order the particular fears and anxieties which were harassing her, in closed the paper and sealed it, hoping by this kind of mechanical contrivance to be enabled in some sort to dismiss the subject from her mind The paper was put away and forgotten. Several months later it came to light, when she found that not one of the fears therein set down had been realized, and the difficulties had all been smoothed away before she came to the time for their solution

A CARD FROM A. G. BAKER.

Our furniture business at Hawleyville is now so well known far and near, that We feel that we may safely, for time at least, cut down our advertising expenses. An "ad" to be of any value, should be changed every week. We are too busy to do it. Besides, we heard a man say, the other day that "that furniture man at Haweyville, who ad- vertises so much, must be fool" Queer what big game one runs onto sometimes when one goes out without a gun.l Another more charitable friend remarked 10 us conh- dentlally, in m ofr hand way, that writing lads" out of business hours is liable to lead to softening of the brain. Mind you, he did not say we had got 1t; and he looked away over into the next county when he said 1t but,--well, We are uot slow to take n hint, fl 1t is a blind one. It would be perfectly aw- full If we should really get it (this softening disease, we mean ] and have 1t get real deep- ly seated before we knew it, or before we had time to vaccinate. So we are going to stop right of short, give up our advertising col- nmns for awhile, pocket the money that would otherwise go Into the coffers Of these "grasIing newspaper monopolies." eat brain ness, 1. @. selling furniture at Hawleyyille. Now for Heavens sake don't tell everybody what you think. Just remember how sensi- tive we ars to adverse criticism. and say that we are simply boycotting and playing Debs with the newspapers for awhile, Don't tell them that we are tired or waiting for any thing 10 harden. Be compassionate, be just, be considerate. be charitable, be liberal mind- ed one with another and last of all be sure and come to Hawleyville before you buy your furniture. Please commit this last sentence to memory and then pin 1t in your hat.

eyes, giving in that way evidence of his sanctity. The Inen and women of God whom happen to know for the most part find religion great joy. It Is collaboration to the body. It Is invig- oration to the mind. It Is rapture to. the soul It is balm for all wounds. It is light for all darkness It is harbor from all storms, and though God knows that acme of them have trouble enough now, they rejoice because they are on their way to the congratulations eternal.
 Universal Brotherhood.
 Oh, the Lord God has many fair and beautiful daughters, but the fairest of them all is she whose ways are pleasant ness and whose paths are peace. Now, my brothers and sisters-for I have right to call you all sol know some people look back on their ancestral line, and they see they are descended from the Puritans or Huguenots, and they re- joice in that, but I look back on my ancestral line, and I see therein such mingling and mixture of the blood of all nationalities that I feel akin to all the world. and by the blood of the Son of God. who died for all people, ad- dress you in the bonds of universal brotherhood.
 I come out as only servant bringing an invitation to party, and I put it in- to your hand, saying, "Come, for all things are now ready" and urge 1t upon you and continue to urge 1t, and before I get through I hope, by the blessing of God. to compel you to come in.
 We must take care how we give the invitation. My Christian friends, l think sometimes we have just gone op- posite to Christ command, and we have compelled people to stay out. Some ftmes our elaborated instructions have

be done in the way of prayer. If we had faith enough today, we could go before God and ask for the salvation of all the people in our churches, and they would all be saved there and then without a single exception. There might be pro- fessional men there, political men there. worldly men there, men who had not heard the gospel for 90 years, men who are prejudiced against the preachers, men who ate prejudiced against the music, men who are prejudioed against the church, men who are prejudiced against God-I do not care-they might be brought in by fervent prayer-you would compel them to come in.
 Earnest Prayer.
 Oh, for such an earnest prayerl Peo- pie of God, lay hold of the horns of the altar now and supplicate the salvation of all those who sit in the same pew with you-yea, the redemption of all who sit In your churches
 I tell you today, my friends, of a great salvation. Do you understand what it is to have Saviour? He took your place. He bore your sins He wept your sorrows. He is here now to save your soul. A soldier, worn out in his country's service, took to the violin as a mode of earning his living. He was found in the streets of Vienna playing his violin, but after awhile his hand be- came feeble and tremulous, and he could no more make music. One day, while he sat there weeping, man passed along and said: My friend, you are too old and too feeble Give me your vio- hn." And he took the mans violin and began to discourse most exquisite mu- sic, and the people gathered around in larger and larger multitudes, and the aged man held his hat. and the coin poured in and poured in until the hat was full.
 Now" said the man who was play.

MISTAKES ON THE WIRE.
Ludicrous Errors Made by Telegraph OPP
orators In Transmitting Dispatches

orators In transmitting Dispatches
The funny mistakes Of telegraphers
are as numerous as those charged up to
proofreaders. A gentleman who has been
an extensive traveller, and consequently
not supposed to overlook any details,
saw his wife off ON train for the slope
the other day. 1t was supposed that ev-
erything had been arranged The good
by and it's accompaniment had been
passed, and the gentleman returned to
his home. That night his wife suddenly
remembered that she had left a valuable
adjunct to her happiness and wrote a
message to her husband which he re-
ceived the following morning at his Of
fee. 1t read:
Forgot Think conductor has tele-
graphed for il. "
He read it again, and it read as at
first. Forgot what" he murmured.
And he read it again and kept reading
it until the words ran together and his
temples throbbed. He sent message to
his house asking the servants if Mrs
- had left anything. They made no
| discoveries, of course. Then he sent a
message to the operator at the Office
from which his wifes message was sent
asking him to repeat it, He waited for
an answer. He lost his luncheon and his
| Inner waiting. He remained at his Of
| fee until late at night, and as he was
bout to leave in despair he received an
answer to his. 1t read: Forgot trunk

it strange that man who had travelled
all over the world should come to his
own home to forget TO check his wife's
trunk? He laughed to himself after ii
was all over But it had cost him lots
of worry.
Equally funny is this one:
A lady in this city had received let
ter from her old home in Connecticut
which caused her a good deal Of trouble.
Her answer to it was by wire. When
it was delivered in the Connecticut
home, it read:
Flows the weather."
What an exasperating query at such q
timel The letter referred TO the lady's
mothers health. The dispatch should
have read, "How's mother?"
A little different is this one: A gen
tleman of this city sent his wife mes
sage from Washington March 4, 1898,
prepaid, and it has not been delivered
up to the present writing. The CORE
spondence between the Chicago ofic'
and the Washington and New Yorl
offices about the transaction has accu
