GOOD THINGS TO READ.
RY ELOISE LEE.

When there are SO many good things
to read, which in this day of cheap liter
allure are accessible to all of us, why
should we read trash? 1 know that
there exis is an unquenchable thirst for
fiction; then let us have the best fiction.
| am not among those that are shocked
by the word novel" l could mention
novels--so could you-which are SER
mons in themselves, novels which pos
sess power for good.
Good novels are so plentiful that there
is no excuse for reading or allowing our
children to read trash. | remember
looking into book short time ago. a
story which is read every day, from the
pen of writer whose stories find ready
sale among people of all classes, particu-
larly girls. 1t was handed to me as
good piece of light reading" l found
it Eight" enough in all conscience. l
CHANGED upon 1.-The proposal" A pro-
posal is interesting to almost every one.
In this case, however, the course of true
love was not running smoothly and the
young lady found it necessary to reject
her lover. During the proceedings the
young man Fell at her feet with wild
sob or two and frantically clutched at
the hem Of her garment"
/ had to laugh, though l was not sup
posed to be reading farce, nor anything

of the sort. The scene described was
supposed to be a sad one. but it struck
me, as the children say, lin funny
place."
Girls! 1 don't believe that young men
ever propose in that way. If one should
ever fall at your feet with wild sob or
two, and frantically clutch at the hem of
your garment" beware of him, for in all
probability he is not sober.
/ dropped the book YEARLY and sighed
for one of Mary E. Wilkins or Sarah
Orne Jewett's spicy sketches. Their
dear old New England ladies, should
know them anywhere, they are SO true
to life. Or for one of Mary Hallock
Foote'S Rocky Mountain tales. What
exquisite penpictures they arel ! can
positively see the long grand stretch Of
foothills, with their sleepy summer
haze and their dreary winter bleakness.
I can see the rough, untidy prosperity Of
her mining towns, and feel the rude,
unquestioning, Western hospitality of
the people.
You and I have known just such peo-
pie as John Bodewin and Josephine
Newbold. He was in love with her too but
do you,t think he would have fallen at her
feet with wild sob or two, and frantical.

Again, / have gone with Constance
Fenimore Woolson to the far north, and
felt the icy bre ath of the Winter as it
came fercely across the frozen lakes and
the vast snow covered Canadian fields.
l have fitted with her to Florida and
heard the swish of the waters along the
reedy shores.
/ never pick up one of William Dean
Howells' stories without feeling that I
am reading long letter about some of

us has not met Lemuel Barker and his
mother? 1t seems to me that / must

right" Tossy said, in mournful tones
"What am going to dor"
Still Alice made no response. She
seemed wholly absorbed in her geome-
try.
ooh, Alice, sister Alice, can't you help
me just little?"
The question come pleadingly from
Tossy's lips, but Alice gave no answer.
She had heard, certainly she had
heard; but was she not busy with her
own work? and was it not very rude of
Toesy to interrupt her?
Presently the younger girl pushed her
book aside, laid her head upon the table
by which they were sitting, and burst
into tears.
Glossy, do wish you would be quiet"
said Alice, impatiently. "How do you
expect me to learn my geometry les
son when you are disturbing me all the
while?"
"I-don't-know,' moaned Tossy be-
tween her sobs. "How-do-you-ex-
pect me-to rn-mine-when-I don't
understand tat all? I think-vou
might-help me-iust little"
Alices conscience told her, too, lat
she might easily render assistance. Yet
she tried to disregard this voice, as well
as her sisters.
Looking not each of you to his own
things, but each of you also to the
things of others
Alice was reading the New Testament
through in the Revised Version. She
had read this verse on the morning of
that very day, and had resolved to obey
its teaching. Yet this evening she tried
to put it out of her mind. But somehow
she could not. 1t kept forcing itself
upon her. 1.-THE things of others, the
things of Others" The words rang in
her ears, and unintentionally she was
mixing them up with angles, straight
lines and triangles. Pretty soon she gave
up her resistance TO the call of duty.
She laid down her book and spoke in
pl0dSdub0r NOlCo tldu DolOIo.-
LET me see what is the matter,
Tossy."
At this note of encouragement, the
little girl raised her head and looked up
wistfully.
"Oh, will you show me about this?
I'll be so glad, for don't want to fail on
the very first lesson, and l can never do
it alone"
Alice examined the difficulty, and
understood it at once. A very few words
Of explanation made it clear to Tossy
also, and she had no more trouble that
evening.
you're the best sister that ever was!'
she exclaimed, gratefully, as she threw
her arms around Alice in kissing her at
bed time Just that little bit of help
from you made my whole lesson easy
"But ought to have given it sooner v
said Alice honestly. II might have
saved you a fit Of crying, and l shouldn't
have been disturbed half as much my
self. "-Mary Joanna Porter, IN Chris

A LITTLE HELP.
INDIANAPOLIS. IND.

The summer vacation in Mayville was
over. Alice CASTOR had spent her first
day in the academy, while her sister
Tossy had been spending her first one in
the grammar school. Both had great
deal to tell aud to talk over after going
home in the afternoon, and both sat
down to study in the evening with zest
which showed that they we're not lack
ing in fondness for books.
Tossy began with arithmetic, Alice
with geometry, and, as mathematics re-
quired closer attention than their other
studies, it would seem that they made a
wise beginning. For time both were
quiet, but after awhile there came a
deep sigh from Tossy. Soon there was
another.
"Oh, dear!' she exclaimed. Il don't
understand this at all"
Alice appeared not to hear.
IL don't believe that l ever can get it

Time WQ6Q he WdS Stlll d
very little fellow there was one thing
that John loved even better than
play, and that was to make pictures.
The walls of the house, the doors,
and, in some cases, even the ceilings,
were covered with sketches in char
coal or crayon; and poor John was
the worst boy to send on an Grand,
for he was sure to be diverted by
something he saw on the way, and
would stop to draw picture of it on
the side of a building, or occasionally
on the back of his jacket, which he
would slip off for the purpose. This
sometimes brought him into trouble.
His mother was usually very patient
with him, however, for she had
mothers faith in his talents; and his
father acknowledged that, "after all,
the young rascal's pictures were UNI
commonly good"
Others soon began to think SO too.
When John was nine years old, a
little sketch of his won silver medal
from the Society of Arts. He then
entered regular class at the Royal
Academy, and gained two more
medals.
He was now tall, prepossessing
young fellow, and some people said
he ought to be better employed than
in dawdling with colors and canvas.
His parents were growing old; they
had made many sacrifices that he
might pursue his studies, and now
they were badly off for funds.
Don't you worry, mother; it will
be all right, father" he told them,
cheerily. "Keep up your spirits until
my ferdinand is finished. 1t is the
best thing have done, and cannot
fail to bring good price"
And SO they hoped on, and he
painted steadily, trying to portray
his beautiful ideal. The subjectwas
"Ferdinand and Ariel" from Shakes
peare's play, "The Tempest"
One day he persuaded dealer to
go and look at the picture. The man,
after examining it carefully, said:
cit promises well. When it is COM
pleted, if like it as much as / do
now, / will give you hundred
pounds for it."
At this good news there was great
rejoicing in the little home. John
worked with new enthusiasm. As
the picture grew more beautiful
every day, they naturally regarded it
as sold.
At last it was finished. Johns
father and mother, and the few friends
to whom he exhibited it, were loud in
it's praise, and the young artist, in
high spirits, and feeling already the
joy of success, brought the dealer to
see it. But alas! the man had
changed his mind in the interval, or
he was out of humor, or some detail
did not please him; at any rate he
looked the picture over coldly, and
finally said: Il spoke of buying your
picture, if l liked it; but l don't like
it, and I won't take it. Good morn
ing"
Turning on his heel, he was gone
before the unfortunate painter could
realize what had happened. The con-
seriousness came soon enough, how
ever, and then John faltered, wonder
ing how he was to tell father and
mother. But he was not one to shirk
a duty because it was hard one, and
so he went to the sitting room where
they were awaiting the verdict with
calm confidence.
"Fatherl mother" he said, 81 have
