what the Mule Said.
.;y;l ono;neer foil this story .

A civil engineer tell this story:
While overseeing a gang OF men
who, with mule teams, were hauling
loads of dirt, a friend of mine-a ven
.triloquist- up and stood by my
side, watching the men at work.
Presently mule. driven by large,
Iredheaded and fiery tempered Irish,
man, balked when right in front OF
where my friend and I were standing.
The Irishman soon lost his temper,
and began to belabor the animal with
his whip. Every now and then the
mule would turn his head and look re-
proachfully at the angry lrishman,
but still refused to bulge. ..
"Now Just watch the Irishman," the
ventriloquest whispered in my ear.
At that moment Pat, losing all pa
tience, gave the animal tremendous
kick in the ribs with his heavy boot.
The mule turned his head, and look.
ing the Irishman in the face, opened
his mouth mt
"Don't you do that again" The
voice sounded as though it came direct
from between the mules parted lips.
The whip dropped from the Irish
mans hand. For moment ne start
ed at the mule, and without utterlng
a word, he whirleG about and boited
down the street as fast as his two legs
could take him.-New York Herald.

Snubbing and Nagging.

There is no surer way of spelling
either O wife or husband than 10 pub
licly snub the one or henpeck the 9th
er. Couples who are anxious to sepa-
rate can begin this way with the Ger
tain assurance that Il grand domestic
upheaval will be the result. The
sweetest tempered woman in the world
will soon grow very tired OF being
called down every time she attempts
to express a sentiment of her own be-
fore people. 1t makes her feel small !;
it likewise stirs up all the antagonfsn
that lies dormant in her nature, ana
though she may possess a reputation
for meekness she will forget all about
submission and will either flare up IN
regulation shrew fashion or NOPE sui
ienly, planning all sorts of schemes for
getting even.
Snubbipg wife or nagging at hus-
band tends to- destroy whatever lndlvio-
uality one or the other possesses or else
incites them to rebellion. Some dis.
astrous result is certain to accrue and
unless a married couple are anxious
for an open rupture, let the fault-find-
ing, snubbing and matrimonial sar-
casms be reserved for private exhibit
tions, and if they are really fond OF
each other the momentary anger will
soon vanish and o serene sky take the
place of lowering clouds in the hy-
menneal horizon.
Even q child when corrected in pub
lie resen;s the action by behaving ten
times worse than it ever would have
thought of doing if the censure had
been administered privately, and we
older ones are only larger children, the
same instincts govern us, the same
passions dominate us. Therefore, to
secure q tractable husband or d6cile
wife reserve the judicious remon-
strances sometimes necessary for times
when outside ears cannot hear and out
side lips cannot retail. 1t is simple
rule, but safe one; consequently fol-
low it and be happy.

Sunny Rooms Max es Sunny Lives.
The Christian,

Ine Clrlstlan.
Light is one OF the most active agen-
cies in eDlivening and beautifying q
home. We all know the value of SUM-
light az a health-giving agent to the
physical system ; 1T Is not less 30 to our
moral and spiritual natures. We
absorb light, and 1t nourishes us with
strange powers. We are more active
under its infuence-can think better
and work more vigorously.
Let US take the airiest, choicest and
sunniest room in the house for our
living room-the workshop where
brain and body are built up and re-
newed. And let us there have bay
window, no matter how plain in struc-
ture, through which the good twin
angels Of nature-sunlight and pure
air-can freely enter.
We can hang no picture on our walls
that can compare with the living and
everlasting pictures which God shall
paint for us through our ample win
dow-rosy dawns, golden hearted sun
sets, the tender green and changing
tints of spring, the glow of summer,
the pomp of autumn, the white OF
winter, storm and shine, glimmer and
gloom-all these we can have and ell.
Joy while we sit in our sheltered room,
as the changing days glide on.
Dark rooms bring depression OF
spirits, imparting a sense of confins-
ment, isolation, of powerlesspess,
which is chilling tn energy and vigor
but, in light is good cheer.
Even IN gloomy house, where walls
and furniture are dingy and brown,
you have but to take down the heavy
curtains, open wide the window, lei
light stream in, and gloom vanishes,
and care and sadness flee.
Keep your house sunny, and keep
your soul sunny. Let the sun Of right.
eousness arise on you with healing in
His wings, you shall find that hight
is sown for the righteous, and gladneas
for the upright in heart"

GRAINS.

Where is the man who loves his
enemies?
Never forget that lone with God is a
majority" ....
Distrust of others is the result of dis
trust of self.
Mems follies often cost them more
than their wants. ..
1t Is well enough to be critical, but
it is better to be. sensible.
A fault-finding spirit will darken
the best sunshine God can give.
AS virtue is its own reward, so vice
is its own punishment.
Blind together your spare hours by
the cord of some definite purpose.
The Pharisee's righteousness consist
ed in not doing evil {; Christ superad-
ded that must do good.-St. Clement.
There are many wrong ways in do.
ing right thing, but there is no right
way of doing wrong thing.-United
Presbyterian.
May Jesus, born in the winter, he
born within every heart where winter
reigns and may that new birth in each
soul make this a truly happy Christ
mastide.
If we could read the secret history
of our enemies, we should find in each
mans liff, sorrow and suffering enough
to disarm all hostillity.-Longfel-
low.
It would seem as if there ought to be
no doubt whether it were better to do
good than to do evil. Yet men are
hesitating at this point on every
side.
Lessons are to be learned from the
past for our guidance in the present
and for the future. Some things
which our fathers did were good and
some were not.

Hope So.

A young lady, teaching her, class
in Sunday school, found the lesson
for a certain day embracing the Saw
iour's declaration. "Verily, verify, l
say unto you, he that beiieveth on me me
hath everlasting life.' A little girl
inquired o,
aIs that true-is it surely trueW
80 yes,," replied the teacher, 1T is
surely true, for Christ says so, ano
whatever he says is true"
SIT must be very NICE" said the
child, "to have everlasting life. and to
know that, whatever comes, you are
saved-saved even now"
"Yes," answered the teacher, ut is a
great blessing indeed"
.,Then you are saved, are you not ?'
asked the interesting scholar.
"I hope 3d." was the reply.
seHope SOL" said the child; "Why
I thought you told me just now it
was sure enough"

The Colder Rule is another form
of stating the second of the two cpl
tones in which Christ summed up
human duty "Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself." 1t was not the
whole of Christian duty; only hall
of it. Love to God and the desire
to please Him is the great Christian
motive; love for our fellow-man and
dealing with him as we would wish
him to deal with us, is one of the
great means we have in this world
for expressing our love and obdience
to God.
