said: 81 cannot wait
seek to do Thy WILL but waiting, Lord,
Is wearier tar than working; let Thy word
Remove from me this fate"
L said: "My heart is sad
Remembering all the burdens have borne
And how at last watched, thinking the
dawn
Was near to make me glad.
81 wait to do Thy will.
1 seek no selfish end. want Thy strength
To follow and uphold, until at length
The power to do is still.
"But wait l cannot, Lord;
For thought and soul and will all burn to do,
And folded hands seem mockery. Even
through
My pain let me be heard"
And then the answer fell,
Family, yet clear: 80 troubled heart be still /,
And know thy work is but to wait my will
Till thou art sure tits well.
"Poor eager heart and BRAIN,
Put by all longings, and let patience still
And faith and quietness thy spirit fill,
Taking away thy pain"
And so wait to-day,
And every day, praying that love divine
70 dwell within and evermore be mine,
My comfort and sure stay
And rs wait tits here!
Saviour and Lord, on weary heart and brain
Falls soft the touch of healing, till all pain
Ends because Thou art near.
Thy love is mine; ana now
Abide with me, My Lord, and 1 will wait
Patient and standing still without the gate,
To Thy sweet will l bow.

Learning a Business.

The best business men, as a rule, are
those who commenced their mercantile
career in very subordinate position, and,
by steady application, and attention to
the duties that devolved upon them,
worked their way upward into place of
prominence.
A close inquiry into the careers of many
business men reveals the fact that the
most of them began business as poor
boys, and, by energy, industry, economy,
acquired wealth and influence.
Instances are rare in which a young
man had begun business at the top and
has made grand success of it. Such
Instances sometimes occur, but not with
great frequency. -
The quickest way in the world in which
young man can get rid of fortune is
to embark in business of which he
knows nothing and attempt TO ran it on
large scale.
The education of most of the prominent
business men began in small country
stores with which they remained until
their growing ambition brought them
into field where they had larger and
more splendid opportunities.
We know there are thousands of young
men who are disheartened and discouraged
at the humble position in life which they
are fillirg at the present time; but we
sincerely believe there never was better
time for young men to rise in the world
than exists now.
There is always demand for young
men of the right stamp. 1t takes pluck,
perseverance, and persistence, sometimes,
to gain the ends desired, but few really
fail in finding recognition in the business
world who are really worthy of it.
As water will always find it's level
when left to its own control, SO will a
young man find his level in the business
world,
He cannot hope to reach high position
except on bis own merits, and if he has
no ambition to attain anything beyond
mediocrity, the world, as a rule, will
estimate him at the value which he
places upon himself Shoe and Leather

"Why is it," asks an exchange, that
a man will sometimes give 5000 for a
So Officer"
Easily answered: To beat the fellow
who said he couldn't get it. Here is an
instance: There lived in a certain Geor-
gia town a man who had no desire
whatever for office-who wouldn't have
gone to congress with free tioket-but
one day friend came to him and said :
Jones says the reason you never ran
for office was that you knew you could
never be elected.
That reused his ire. Jones was pop
ular man and was in the race for ordi-
nary, an office which paid about 5000
per year in that town.
''I'll show himr' exclaimed the citi-
zen, and he Immediately announced
himself candidate for ordinary.
The race cost him exactly So, 900, but
he won, and. with smile of satisfac-
ton, hired Jones, the confident but de-
feated candidate, to transact the bust
ness of the Office for him.
He was vindicated. Atlanta Consti-

seated on a pile of ropes somewhat
sheltered from the wind was a woman
with pale but beautiful face, holding
close to her bosom little child. Beside
her stood man, tall and erect, as though
to shield her from danger. Billy caught
sight of the woman, and with a start
grasped the shrouds for support. A
moment more and he was at her side.
Come with me, Madge," he said.

belts. and he caught the CLEAN of knife.
Quick as cat he sprang forward and
caught up handspike, shouting to the
captain:
Keep them back minute longer if
you can." Then he turned to Stevens.
"Lower your wife into the boat, I'll hold
the child"
Both men did as they were hidden.
Ore of the madmen-they were nothing
less-sprang at the captain. Instantly
Billy struck him to the ground.
'Now." he shouted. 'come on! I'm

pushing Stevens toward the rail. Your
life is worth more than mine. Take it,
and God bless you and her!"
Heforced the struggling man over the
rail and the boat pulled off. Billy stood
tiotionless, his eyes on Madge's white
upturned face. His lips moved, but he
could not hear her frantic words of
thanks. The ship settled lower and
lower, until finally, with a frightful
plunge, she disappeared from sight.

Bits of Home Economy.


Where doors stick rub with a wetted
bar of soap.
Breathe through the nose, keep the
mouth shut, then you will not snore.
Sand and white lead make a hard &C.
ment for stopping leaks in roofs and other
places.
Myriads of noxious insects and weed
seeds may be destroyed by firing the
rubbish piles in the fall.
Try few drops of ammonia on damp
cloth and see how nicely it will clean the
rubber rollers of your wash-wringer.
Asthma may be greatly relieved by
soaking tissue paper in strong saltpetre
water, drying it and burning it at night
in the sleeping room.
Don't send your neighbors' names to
quacks who ask you to. Such names are
made merchandise of and get into the
hands of all sorts of vicious people.
If door latches and looks have become
rusty and work with much friction, the
least touch of an oily finger on the parts
that rub together will set matters right,
The best fertilizer for lawn or yard is
such as you would apply for corn. Pot
it on in the early spring. 1t is not nice
to use barnyard manure for the purpose
and not necessary.
Sleep in dark room at night without
any lamp or gas burning. Eyelids are
somewhat transparent, and eyes strained
all night by light are not rested and
strengthened by sleep.
A receipted bill on file, or any other
safe place, is handy thing to have in the
house when the storekeeper duns you for
debt already paid. Take receipts and
carefully preserve them; don't trust too
much to memory in business affairs.
Saw dust and clay in equal parts
moulded into bricks and burned are said
to make superior building material,
being light, porous, frost aud fire.proof,
and capable of being pierced with nails
and sawed like wood. This is important,
if true, as it will dispose of vast deal
of waste matter to good advantage.
Disease and sudden death often come
to children through the carelessness of
parents. They ought never be allowed
to wear damp shoes or go to bed with
cold feet. A pair of dry shoes and stock.
ings should be always ready to change
for the damp ones, and the feet be rubbed
dry and warm. Neglect of this has often
resulted in Group, diphtheria and catarrh.

from the German religious houses. Year

Few people know that all plants con.
tain digestive principles. They cannot
absorb their food until it is digested any
more than animals can. The Mount
Lebanon Shakers have learned the art of
extracting and utilizing these digestive
principles, and it is for this reason that
their Shaker Digestive Cordial is meeting
with such phenomenal success In the
treatsment of dyspepsia. The Shaker
Objective Cordial not only CONTAINS food
already digested. but it also contains
digestive principles which aid the diges-
ton of other foods that may be eaten with
it. A single 10 cent sample bottle will
be sufficient to demonstrate it's value. and
we suggest that every suffering dyspeptic
make q trial of it-sssAny druggist can
supply it. :
