Mind What You Promise

A promise may bind you for a lifetime
1t may be made in moment, but may
fetter and cloud and shadow ones whole
existence.
Be careful what youssromise. Do not
be coaxed or urged or frightened into max
ing promises. Get alone, think, pray, ask
counsel of God and good men, and never
promise in haste something which on
mature consideration you would not per-
form. Do you consider first before the
promise is made. Says sensible writer :
"We may notice that facility in making
promises is usually accompanied by GER
tain carelessness in keeping them. Many
otherwise good men fall into the habit of
agreeing to do whatever is asked of them
without first considering whether it will be
within their power to fulfill their engage
ments. They do not intend to be untruth-
full but they soon acquire reputation for
lacking veracity. We beg our readers to
be on their guard here. 1t is of vast i'm
portance to learn how to be deliberate and
thoughtful in the matter of consenting to
do this, or that, or the other thing. A
perfectly upright man will not pledge him
self to assume any work, great or small,
without first Icing reasonably sure of his
ability to do it. and then he will strive to
keep his pledge at all hazards

THE LEGEND OF THE BEAUTI
Full HAND.
BY JOHN CULLEN. D. D

Three ladies with lily-whlre hands were seen,
To walk one eve o'er village green,
They were stately and tall, and lovely to see,
AS any three ladies earth could be.
One dipped her hands in the running stream,
And held them as did a high dame beseem.
While she said mo lady in all the land
Can show such beautiful soft, white hand.''
Another, ripe strawberries gathered that eve,
Which Il hue of pink ON her palms 'iid leave,
She said Look at These they iv:'li'i far,
M hands Garth can With ln.Ii,. s,,s ,isire.
TIE third had pluekal sweet ii ,irts bite.
Which left on her fingers their i-ti,Ier :i,e,
Aud she said, with smile, MI hali,ls DO smell
OF fragrance sweet, as ii soft blue hell"
An old, haggard woman drew nigh and said
20 give me aims; have need of bread r
Bat the hearts of the three were hard and cold.
They denied that Woman worn and old.
Another sat near Not dipped III the stream,
Nor stained by red fruit did her fingers seem;
Nor adorned with flowers were her hands or head
But she gave the poor woman ; smiIe-and bread
The Grandam asked cher need supplied,t
Why the three sweet ladies did fume aud ehide?
The six white hands were soon laid bare,
And each said that none could with hers compare
Beautiful are they, for God has made,
And given them to you" the Grandam said,
"But: the most beautiful hand is the hand tina
gives,
As moved by heart that loves and lives
AS she spake these words her wrinkles fed,
And halo shone round her glorious head
An angel of God she stood revealed
And the judgment she gave in heaven was sealed

IRELAND'S LIMBLESS CELEB
RITY.
Mr.. MacMurragh Kavanagh Did Not
Miss His Absent Legs.
From the Boston Transcript.
T J,,ola1

From the Boston Transcript.
In Leinster county, Ireland, they are
about to build monument to remark
able man. He was Right Hon. Arthur
MacMurragh Kavanagh. He was born
without arms and legs, having only four
stumps, each about foot in length, in
place of the limbs. In spite of this awful
fate he was at different times member
of Parliament, a privy councillor and lord
lieutenant of his native county. Twice
he refused an elevation to the peerage.
Mr. Kavanagh was also fearless cross
country rider and good shot. He followed
the hounds until age and increasing infrm
ity forced him to desist At first he rode
without any protection, relying simply on
the grip of his leg stumps, but nasty
fall, which broke his nose, induced him to
invent for his own use box side-saddle,
in which he was strapped. A short skirt
covered the contrivance and gave Kava-
nagh very singular appearance.
His shooting vas done by means of guns
from which the trigger guards had been
removed. The gun to be fred was laid
along his left shoulder and with his right
hook he pulled the trigger.
His aim was deadly, as the tigers, deer
and other big game of which trophies are
preserved in Boris House are ample proof
While in Persia, at the court Of Viceroy
Mira Malicious, in 1849, he defeated 50
picked sharpshooters in a contest of marks
manship. His Parliamentary career was
brilliant and his praises are sung in his own
country by all parties, irrespective of poll
tics or creed. Mr.. Kavanagh was mar
ried, and all his children are well-formed
and robust.

It is Said of Celery.

That if celery were eaten more freely
sufferers from rheumatism would be com
paratively few.
That when celery is eaten largely an
alkaline blood is the result and that where
this exists there can be neither rheuma
tism nor gout.
That it should not only be eaten raw,
but cooked.
That it should be cut in small pieces
and boiled till tender, in as little water as
possible, and after adding to this little
rich milk, thicken slightly with -four and
season with butter, pepper and salt.
That the tender leaves and small ends
of the stalk, which are usually thrown
away, should be used for soups, and even
the greener leaves are useful, for they may
be dried and powdered and used for flavor
ing soups and the dressings of roasts.

inherent elements which pertain to
