The scesaw of Time.

Up and down went a see-saw--a dark
eyed boy on one end, and the other a
wee slip of girl with laughing blue
eyes and yellow curls waving in the
breeze. They have played together all
the summer days, and many happy
hours have they spent at the see-saw
"l'd rather go up than down." said
the girl.
$50 would l." the boy answered,
~ wish we could both go up at once"
"But we can't"
al know it."
"I'm tired of see-sawing," said she.
$50 am l." he answered. Then he
sturdiiy held the board firm and straight,
while she tripped lightly to the stone
wall across which it was laid. There
they could sit close together, his bare,
brown feet dangling down among the
daisies In pretty contrast TO the daintily
slippered ones of his companion; and 1t
mattered not to this young pair of six
and ten that she dwelt in the lap of lux
ury while he was the son of poverty.
The days went by. He went to sea,
and dwelt in foreign lands for many
years. There fortune smiled upon him,
and poured her rich gifts at his feet. In
the meantime his little playmate had
grown to womanhood, and her fathers
riches had taken wings and flown away
They meet again. They talk of the
golden summer days of yore, when they
played together and the seesaw went W
and down. They have changed places
since then. She, smiling, says:
"You see that the other end of tn,
seesaw Is up now"
Says he, with love pleading in hi
eyes; I'm tired of seesawing."
She understands and answers, $50 an

"Well, darling, let us stop 1t jus t as '
did of old"
So close together they keep, and tn
seesaw is balanced.-Munsey's Maya

~Oid Hickory

The figure of Andrew Jackson Is one
of the most dramatic in American his
tory. II is oddly significant of the re-
volt Of a strong, ImPerious nature
against the subduing influence of civili-
zation, that rub down the eceentrics of
individuals and make them all outward
ly alike.
II Is probable that the more scholarly
and gently -bred Wings of Jackson's day.
disgusted by the oaths, the uncouth cos
tune and abrupt manner OF the old sol
der, moderated his stern integrity, and
the courage with which he held to an
opinion, however narrow, which he be-
lieved to be right
Jackson, on the other hand, unques-
tionably took delight In shocking them
by unconventional outbreaks. 1t is said
that he once went to a cabinet meeting
wearing high boots covered with mud.
Observing the glances of disgust which
fell upon them, he exclaimed;
al beg your pardon, gentlemen My
feet are wet. have been in the stable
yard"
He at once ordered a footbath and
towels, and quietly bathed his feet then
and there.
The men present at this scene were
not likely to give him credit for the
shrewdness and honesty of purpose
with which, having reclothed his feet,
he turned to the affairs of state.
Had Jackson taken larger view of his
obligations to society and his personal
influence as the head of a great nation,
he probably would have seen the folly
of weakening by his ill-breeding his
efforts to help his country.
An account of his profession of Chris
tianity has been given by Mr.. t. j.
Wharton, who vouches for its authenti-
ticity.
The general had built little church
near his home at the Hermitage, to en-
able his wife to join with her neigh
bors In public religious worship.
Her gentle spirit and consistent Chris
tian life held this strong mans love as
with hook Of steel. Because of her
exemplification of Christianity In its In
Husnce upon the mind and heart, he
sent some time after her death for DR..
Edgar and stated he wished to partake
of the sacrament, soon to be admins
tered, and thus publicly testify his
faith In the message and teachings of
Christ.
DR.. Edgar examined him In the usual
formula touching repentance for his
sins, and faith in the doctrines of the
church, and received prompt and salts
factory answers.
There Is one thing more, general"
the doctor said, with embarrassment,
"Go on. Probe me to the CORE" said
the old man.
"You have had stormy public life,
and have had many enemies who doubt
less have assailed you unjustly. Do
you forgive them"
After a moment, Jackson replied, 81
forgive all my own enemies freely
from my heart. But the men who ioully
lied about my poor, dead wife, l will
never forgive"
"The Savior made no exception,
gently said the man of God. Gall your
enemies?"
There was a long silence during
which the old soldier seemed greatly
distressed. Suddenly he looked up, a
tender smile upon his face.
al can do it. | will pray to God tc
forgive them" he said reverently.
This incident should have a meaning
or every sincere mind.

1t never hurts truth any to be slapped
in the face,
The worst robbers do not carry clubs.
God is not in the religion that does
nothing for the good of men.
1t costs much less to be contented
than 1t does to be unhappy.
Faith in God is the best cure known
for worry.
Why is it that SO many people love to
tell bad news'
A counterfeit is sure evidence that
there is genuine,
Whatever Christ did for himself he
can do for us.
No matter how much religion we pro-
fess, all that counts is what we live.
Whatever God gives us to do he will
help us to do.
A woman can be the DEVILS best friend
or his worst enemy.
A Christian helps the cause of God
not SO much by what he says as by
what he is.
The cause of God is never helped by
pointing to the cross with frown on
the face.
A rich man may give the Lord toe
little, but poor one cannot give too
much.-Ram's Horn.
