Faithful to the Pledge.

The spirit in which the Christian En-
deavor pledge is fulfilled is manifested
by striking incident reported by the
pastor Of the young woman concerned.
She had been an active Christian En-
deavorer for two years when she was
stricken with fever and a short time ago
died. During the last days of her i'll
ness, when too weak to hold her Bible,
the young woman asked her mother to
hold the book for her SO that she could
read portion from it each day. "For, !"
said she, 81 wish to be faithful to my
pledge to the very end of my life. y

ENGLISH CHILDREN.
The Manner In Which They Are Allowed
to Cadge For Money.

The Manner In Which They Are Allowed
to Cadge For Money.
Every American man must remember
the shock of surprise with which he first
encountered in an English novel the
notion of schoolboy, gentleman's
son, taking money as gift from his
parents friends and guests. Nothing
could have been more foreign to the
American idea in my time than that,
and / suppose it is still tho same
Neither parents nor boys could have
submitted to the thought without NOR
LITIGATION. But here the feeling, or at
least the fact, is quite different. A hard
working man who lives up to the last
penny of meager professional income
can give half sovereign tip to the
schoolboy son of friend or acquaint-
ance of his who has $50, 900 year, and
the boy will pocket it. and the father
will, at the most, look the other way l
used to think that this had its explana-
ton in the fact that parents and chill
dren were not united by so close bond
here as in America, and that the father
cared less than any American father
would care for the dignity and self re-
spect of his con. On the other hand,
however, it is certain that the English
father holds himself responsible for his
son and spends money solicitously in
trying to start him i'll life long past the
stage when an American youth would
be expected to go out and shift for him
self And, indeed, the older one gets the
palmer it is to be seen that any and ey-
cry attempt to dogmatize about the diff
ference between the two peoples of tine
two countries must be subject to all sorts
of reservati ons and contradieting modi-
fications But it is true that the English
child is allowed to eadge for money in
a way which is unknown to the Ameri
can child Of tho Same social grade, and
that this is by no means confined to
relatively poor people This fact has al
ways seemed to me to rob the English
child of a great deal of tho interest
which with us attaches to childhood.
Not | alone find him less interesting, IL
is universal Judgment upon him..

There are some of our best native
trees which seem to be Systematically
ignored in park and lawn planting
One is the beech. than which there is
no better or more beautiful lawn tree.
The branches are long and graceful, the
leaves have a peculiarly bright color,
the buds are long, pointed and polished
and the bark of the trunk and larger
limbs lights up the shade Of the thick
foliage i'll dark days and shines in the
winter with pinkish light under clear
skies. 1t requires good deal of room
to develop its greatest beauty, but
thrives ON most soils, and is not subject
to attacks of insects. We plant its for
eign relative, the copper beech, solely
for the color of its leaves, and our ma
tive, handsomer tree is utterly neglected.
For small lawn tree there is no better
than the near relative of our common
beech. 1t is generally called blue
beech, or iron wood, and makes a
nice shaped tree 10 or 10 feet high. 1t
is far prettier than the mountain ash or
horse chestnut, both foreign trees and
very liable to attacks of insects. AS far
as ordinary observation goes no leaf
cutting insect troubles the blue beech.
The leaves are smaller and darker in
color than those Of the common beech,
but in shape and veining are similar

BOHEMIA,
IA rather live In Bohemla
Than in any other land.-John Boyle O'Reilly

I'd rather live in Bohemia
Than in any other land.-John Boyle O'Reilly
Where lieth the land Bohemian
Is it enchanted groundP
Unto the place no guide or trace
Was e'er by searching found
Yet many wander through it
In blindness or in scorn,
And some there dwell who love 1t we'll;
They are Bohemians born.
Here lieth the land Bohomiai
Strange light upon it beams,
This border land, whose outer strand
Melts in the sea of dreams.
Behind us roars the real,
The world Of strife and din;
Our kindlier fate is here to wait
Until our ships come in.
O'ershadowing Bohemia,
Fame, like mountain grand,
Piercing the skies, uplifts our eyes
From this, the lotos land.
The summit CLEANS in splendor
And beckons spirits bold
Fain would we go, yet, ah we know
The heights of fame are cold
Here, resting in Bohemia,
Beside the waters still,
In meadows green. where Hippocrene
Winds as a little rill,
We deem in pleasant places
Are cast our lines and lives,
Where grace and heart are more than art
And chivalry survives

No fewer than five systems of law are
in use in Germany. In moving from
one place to another tourists are often
greatly puzzled when they find that an
act perfectly allowable in one state is
crime in another. A still greater con-
fusion often results when the right Of

LITTLE FEET.

Two little feet. so small that both may
nestle
In one csressing hand
Two tender feet upon the un.ried border
OF life's most mysterious land.
Dimpled and soft, and pink as peach tree
blossoms
In Aprirs fragrant days
How can they walk among the briery tan
giles.
Edging the worlds rough wsysl
These rose-white feet along the doubtful
Must bear woman's load;
Alas since woman has the heaviest bur-
And walks the hardest road.
Love for while will make the path before
them
All dainty, smooth and fair;
Will Gull away the BRAN bles, letting only
1uo tofce OiOom tutIt,
But when the mothers watchful eyes are
shrouded
Away from sight of men,
And these dear feet are left without her
guiding.
Who shall direct them then
How will they be allured. betrayed, de-
luded,
Poor little untaught feet?
Into what dreAry mazes will they wander !?
What dangers will they meet?
Will they go stumbling blindly in the
darkness
OF sorrows fearful shades
Or find the upland slopes Of peace and
beauty,
Whose sunlight never fades?
Will they go toiling up ambitions sum
The common world above2
Or in some nameless vale. securely shell
tered,
Walk side by side with Love?
Some feet there be which walk life's track
unwounded,
Which find but pleasant ways
Some hearts there be to which this world
is only
A round Of happy days.
But they are few. Far more there are who
wander
Without hope or friend;
Who find their journey full of pains and
losses
And long TO reach the end.
How shall it be with her, the tender
stranger,
FAir-faced and gentle.eyed,
Before whose unstained feet the worlds
rude highway
Stretches so strange and wider
Ah who may read the fusuref For our
darling
We crave all blessings sweet,
And pray that He who feeds the crying
ravens
Will guide the bsby's feet.
