In letter, the character, the peculi-

CHARITY.

"Charity should always begin at
hOme' is true, but sad to say,
seldom followed admOnition. Churches
and religious sects are always preach
ing about their foreign missions and
the poor suffering heathen(?) p in other
lands. They send money, clothing and
tracts to China, the wilds of India,
Africa and South America and allow
people to starve to death at their doors.
1t is true that there are the Home
Missions as we'll as the Foreign ones
but why not dispense entirely with all
work abroad until there are no more
poor in this land. "Charity begins at
hOme,' do not lose sight of that fact,
or just make beginning of a charity
here and waste all the main efforts
abroad. If clergyman told the men,
bers of his congregation to learn to be
Christians by converting someone else,
people would laugh at him, yet his
church sends money abroad when it is
needed here. In what light do you
suppose foreigner that you have
been spending money on to convert
views your actions when he reads in
the American newspapers of the crime,
destitution and want right at your
doors? Does he respect you for trying
to help him out of bog when you are
in so deep yourself as to be almost
beyond help?
Begin and finish your charity at
home; every effort is needed in this
land, at your very doors, and it is en-
tirely unnecessary to go abroad to find
some one to help. But right in this
country you can find some one to
whom you can give lift and who will
appreciate it the more because it
comes from neighbor and a country
man.-Elmira Summary.

A PREMATURE PROPOSAL.

WidOwerS, as well as widows, are
the targets of many jokes. Here is
story they tell of a farmer in a certain
county not so miles away from st.
Louis.
His wife had been in poor health for
some time, and one day he was called
in from his work because she was so
much worse. The neghbor women
told him to hurry to town for the doc
tor. He rushed out to the stable,
saddled horse and galloped toward
the village, few miles distant.
AS he rode he met an interesting
widow. She was interesting because
she had been widow but six months,
and the departed one had left good
farm to her. OF course, she wondered
why neighbor Jones was hurrying so.
She called to him to know what was
the matter. He pulled up his horse,
turned toward her and said:
"My wife is very sick. They don't
think she will live, and | am on my
way for the doctor" He paused, and
seemed about to ride on, but thought
struck him. He leaned over toward
the widow and asked anxiOusly:
eff she does die, will you have me?"
