PUSSY IN a PASSION,
She Has Her Revenge by Tearing the
Night-Shirt of a Tease.

Blossom is big gray cat. She has
been in the familyufor seven years,
and her mistress thinks she was fully
ten when she came unlimited and took
possession. Her charms made her well
come, and visitors, as a rule, pet her to
her hearts satisfaction. Still she
shows her loyalty to her mistress by
many feline felicities. One day a
young man came for a short visit. He
was an inveterate tease. AS there was
no one else for victim, he took Bios
som in hand, in spite of pleadings and
protestations. Her ears were greeted
with the strange terms: ''Old Rascal"
"Scapegrace, Tramp" and hundred
names, till the astonished cat did not
know what had come to her. Her
pretty ways disappeared, she fed from
his approach and hid whenever she
could till he was out of the house. One
morning she was missing for some
hours, and was not to be found in any
of her hiding places. A loud cry from
the chambermaid revealed her where
abouts. Blossom had revenged herself
on the visitors nightshlrt, which lay
in tatters on the floor. Pussy was
scoloed and every one was cautioned
to keep the door shut. In vain! The
cat would find her way in and hide till
the chambermaid was through for the
day, and then the claws went to work,
first on the visitors own clothes if any
could be found and then on the pillow
cases. The young man tried to soothe
her feelings, but she would have none
of him, and he was glad to cut short
his visit. Blossom quickly recovered
her usual demeanor and has never been
known to destroy anything from that
day to this-Boston Transcript

TO E!M WHO WAITS,

10 MIN who waits amid the worlds applause,
His share of justice, toiling day by day,
AL things will come now dim and far away,
10 him who waits
To him who waits beyond the darkness drear.
The morning cometh with refulgent light;
Bringing assurance of a day more bright,
To him who waits
To him who waits, though tears may often fall
And knees be bowed in sorrow and in prayer;
All GRIEF will end and everything be fair
To him who waits
To him who waits and reaches out his hands
To aid toiler up lifes beetling crAgs,
Surcease will come from every i'll that flags
To him who waits.
TO him who waits and struggles not in vain
To overcome the evils that abound
Within his breast, sweet will the victory sound
To him who waits
To him who waits there comes willy thron1
Who sheer and scolf and look with baleful eyes,
But what of them, they are but gnats and flies
To him who waits.
To him who waits there must be recompense
For useful work, whatever may betide,
compensation reaching far and wide,
To him who waits
10 MIN VINO waits, the stars are always friends,
The restless ocean and the azure sky,
All things in nature speak and prophesy,
To him who waits.
To him who ats true love will some day come,
And lay an offering at his blameless shrine,
Life will be love, and love will be divine,
To him who waits.
To him who waits the world will some day
cheer
And sing his praise fames mysterious gate s
VIII open for him; Heaven seems more near,
To him who waits.

Didn't Like the Anthem.

Fifty years ago the Presby terians of
Scotland insisted that the service of
praise should be expressed by singing
to plain, simple tunes the Psalms of
David in "Rouse's Version or in
metre" This custom, which many
regarded as precept of worship, ex-
plains the following anecdote: An old
Scotch lady who had no relish for mod
ern church music was expressing her
dislike to the singing of an anthem in
her own church one day, when a neigh
Dor said: why, that is very old an
them! David sang that anthem to
Saul" To this the old lady replied:
"Weel. weel; moo for the first time
understan' why Saul threw his javelin
at David when the lad sang for him"

WHO is SECURE7
Two Little Stories Which Point a Very
Pretty Moral


Several years ago two strangers, we'll
dressed young men, entered church
in small town in New England and
seated themselves in an empty pew.
Presently an elderly woman, the owner
of the pew. came to the door and mo-
toned to them to come out until she
should pass to the farther end They
were offended at her discourteous man
ner and marched angrily out of the
church, refusing to listen to any invi-
tation to remain.
A few years afterward the queen of
Sweden, being an invalid visited the
city of Heidelberg, in Germany, for
medical treatment. While there she
went each Sunday to a modest little
church, occupying the back seat in
order to escape notice.
One day scholarly-looking man,
plainly dressed, came into the church
and took seat near the pulpit few
moments later naughty German lady
swept up to the pew, and, seeing a
stranger in it, ordered him by an i'm
perious gesture to leave it.
The stranger quickly obeyed, and
going into one of the seats reserved for
the poor, Joined devoutly in the serv-
ices. After they were over the lady's
friends gathered around her, and de-
manded whether she knew who it was
that she had treated so rudely.
mo; some pushing stranger" she
replied.
1T was King Oscar of Sweden" was
the answer. He is here visiting the
queen"
Her modification may be imagined.
A correspondent who was an eye
witness of both of these scenes sends
the story to us, and asks: (Which
played the more manly part, the two
vain young men or King Oscar?"
The answer is obvious
Yet if the young men had been kings
they, too, would probably have re-
ceived with Indifference the insult of a
foolish woman. Nothing lifts US above
scorn and contumely so much as the
sense of security in our own position
in the world. But who is secure? King
Oscar. perhaps, would resent an insult
from greater monarch.
Only the man who understands that
all kings and all slaves are but the
children of one Father will not be
troubled at unkindness or contempt
from his more foolish brothers.
