LOyeth the Righteous,

God loves what is like himself. He
cannot help it. God approves the quail
ity of righteousness when found any,
where among his creatures, because he
has it in his own nature. That nature
he cannot deny, cannot assume or lay
aside, as man might adorn himself
with robe and divest himself of it at
his pleasure. That nature approves
what is right. God is drawn toward
every bit of godliness he sees anywhere
IN his universe. If he attracts it, il
also attracts him. This comes about
by the operation of kind of spiritual
law of gravitatiOn. Not only, we know,
do greater bodies like the sun attract
lesser bodies, such as small satellites,
but the insignificant fractional parts"
of the solar universe exert an influence
also on the great bodies. Every bit of
matter draws every other bit; even
a pebble pulls upon a sun. So NOR
ally like attracts like; and not only
does the great Being that is divine
attract multitudes of the lesser be-
ings which he has created, so that
they swing in attached revolution
around the centers of his thought and
interests, but these smaller existences
attract also in turn the glorious Sun of
Righteousness. Goodness anywhere
draws the great God. This is only ex-
pressed in another way when it is said
that God loveth the righteous, since the
affections of holy Lord gravitate in
evitably toward what is good and true
and sacred-in the direction of that
which possesses the common element
with himself not of a gross materially,
but of moral and spiritual weight and
worth So the Deity delights in the
virtues, beauties, faiths and loves of his
children. What is good in them re-
fleets joy upon him. He takes posi-
tive pl. assure in piety, his heart goes
out toward noble spirits. The godly
make God happier.-C. A. S. Dwight,
in New York Observer.

Doest thou well to be angry" claimed
her attention, and instantly into her
head flashed the full realization of the
fact that the questioner was none other
than the great God from whom her gift
of good and kind husband had come.
"' Doest thou well to be angry?'" She
repeated The words quickly and fer
vently, and her decisive answer, q" No,
no, no." was swiftly followed by petit
ton, "God forgive me, and oh, don't
let him go until I've asked his forgive
ness aleoP" Then, with the hope of
being in time to arrest his steps, she
hurried to the window of the next room
past which he must go on his way to
the station.
She was just in time. He was di-
rectly opposite as she reached it. With
out hesitation she tapped loudly on a
pane; he turned and looked up, and on
meeting her tear-dimmed eyes and sor-
rowful glance, his heart thrJbbed with
thankfulness, for were they not certain
signs that she desired recol Citation?
He fastened back to her, and few
nom nts later perfect peace again
reigned in that pretty home.
And then Nell told him that she be-
lieved that the reason why her temper
had gone beyond her control was be-
cause, having oversight herself, she had
hurried downstairs that morning with
out having, as usual, asked God to give
her strength to keep from falling into
sin during the day. And | didn't
think to ask him afterwards" she con-
fessed sadly, "and so went on trying to
keep right without his assistance; but.
you see l couldn't, and-and I'll never
try it again" Then gratefully, "Oh,
John, how very good of him to have
turned my eyes on that question just
when he did. am so thankful" And
few hours later she received tidings
which gave her cause to declare her
thankfulness redoubled.
Yes, when John returned from Kill
burn she learned from him that the
B: so train, by which he would have
gone had she not recalled him, had
been run into by a goods train, and
that six persons were killed and fifteen
badly injured.
Nell shuddeled. ooh, John, dear :"
she sobbed, "What should 1 have done
had you gone and-and been. killed?
What should l have done? And from
the thought of what might have re-
suited from her anger she learned a
lesson never again to trust to her own
strength to keep her temper under
control. - The London Sunday.Scho

Mending.

Mending is time consuming process
and very firing one besides to women
who have been mt work all day in store,

them n time of recreation, reading or study
some experience apart from the gadgrind
of the daily occupation and not stitch in

says a writer in Vogue, to be able to en-
ploy a woman one or two days a week the
year round to keep me from a chaos of cos
tune rents, DEFICIENCIES and frayed ends l
realize by what she accomplshes how great
n savior of time and nerve wear she is,
and | should be glad to see similar service
placed within the reach of all women.
There are mcnding bureaus for men, and
these could be readily used by women also.
In any large city there are thousands of
women in receipt of good salaries who
could afford to patronize by the month,
fortnight or week any reliable well man.

liver the mcnding. Some such system is
sorcly needed now that women by the thou
sands are doing mems work with the odds

The handicap of doing her own mending
ought not to he added to the other dsabil-
tiles which hamper women in fighting the
competitive battle of modern life. There
is another consideration in such an agency.
Unskillcd labor could be very largely en-
ploycd to the filling of many sparsely
furnished larder.

RELIGIOUS MISCELLANY.
" God Bless You, Dear,v


In Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn there
is a stone bearing the name of an English
woman, with age, date Of death, etc, ant
below all, the words, "God Bless You
Dear" This inspired the following poem
which was printed several years ago in tn,
HouSeteeper's Weekly;
In Greenwood, lovely city of the dead,
Above the grave
OF one who to this western land had come
From DER the wave,
Is raised stone, with name, and date, and age,
Engraven there,
And underneath, the simple, touching words,
God bless you, dear"
Was 1t benediction DER her said,
last fond rayer
or one who loved her. asking for her soul
The Fathers carer
Or the last utterance from her lips that fell
Upon the ear
OF some beloved one watching by her bed2
" God bless you, dear"
We know not, but If those who loved her well
sometimes draw near
To read the words to them must surely come
message clear
From her blest spirit, all unheard, indeed,
By mortal ear,
Yet saying, with the old love, to each heart,
God bless you, dear"

Cleaning Fine Laces.


Very fine lace which has become quito
soilcd may be cleaned by washing it care
fully in benzinc, writes Eva Marie Kenno-
dy in The Ladies' Home Journal. The lace
should be put into bowl and covered with
the best and purest benzine that can be
procured and be allowed To soak for short
time, occasionally receiving gentle shak-
ing but it should never be rubbed with
the hands If necessary, when the bcnlino
is poured Off it should be replaced by u
fresh supply and the lace allowed 70 soak
again for time. After it has become per
fectly clean it should be pinned, while
still quite wet, on flannel covered board
to dry. 1t is important that this should be
done with great care. Plenty of small
pins should he used for the purpose; each
point must be fastened down securely with
due regard to tie pattern of the lace so as
to keep it even and correct.
If the lace dries before the task has been
quite completed, it should be mOistcncd
again with II sponge wrung out OF bcnzine
and then be exposed to the sun where the
fresh air may play upon it, in order to dis
pei the disagrecable odor arising from the
use of the bcnzine. Benzine is most in
1ammable SO must be kept away from fire
and light.

The HOUSEHOLD.
The Little One.

A little pinkish head, at rest
Upon warmly pulsing breast,
That gently thrCbs a soft caress
Whenever those cheeks. as softly, press.
A pair of tiny hands, that clasp
with restless movement, loose and grasp
The slender fingers that uphold.
And, in the pulsing bosom, fold.
Two efin orbs of limpid blue,
That upward glance, and reading true
Those wishful other eyes discern,
Each mute request, its meaning learn.
A little mind that will expand.
Perchance aspire to understand
Some mystery that nature seals
Till wise and patient search reveals.

And little, little can avow;
But little germs of latent brain
A world of wonders may contain.

Food for the Baby.

A child should have nothing whatever
from the adult table before = years at
the earliest, preferably not until two years.
Solid food should not be allowed until aft
er "a year, and then it should be bread
gruels porridge and possibly an egg, but
these should be prepared for it and given
to it by ITSELF not at the adults table. To
let child come to the table is only to
teach it to beg for things it should not
have. Let it be fed before your meals so
that it shall not be tantalized at seeing
you eat when it is hungry.
