A Great Sc. Bernard.

A lady in Newton was drawing her
little girl on sled, just after the
great snowstorm, through long, mar
row path to the schoolhouse, the snow
being thrown up very high on each
side Of the path, when she met mid
way q large st. Bernard dog, a
stranger. She immediately addressed
him as she would o human being, ex-
planning that the path was narrow and
the snow deep, and that he must turn
around and 60 back. He listened
carefully to her explanation, then
wheeled about and walked back con-
siderable distance, until he found a
place where the snow had been
shovslled out little at the side. In,
to this he backed, and waited quietly
until she passed him with the sled and
child. The lady thanked him for
being so much Of gentleman; and
he then wheeled about, and started
again on the path. Our Dumb AMI.

DON'T WORRY.

Don't worry-though above your head
The threatening storm clouds meet,
The rainbow as OF yore shall spread
Its sign Of promise sweet.
The flowers fled when winter gray
Proclaimed again his cruel sway.
Yet early blossoms smile and say,
Don't worry"
Don't worry--though the noon-tide find
Your footsteps falterlDg,
The morn's glad hopes left far behind;
The day its Joy shall bring.
When sunsets radiant curtains fall,
Sleeps angel. ready to the call
or night, shall whisper low to all,
Don't worry"
Don't worry-though with little good
Your eager quest seem fraugnt.

Has strlven us he ought.
Ask not how destiny was planned.

Is eloquent with the command,

The Rose. Thistle and shamrock.

The adoption OF rose as q national
flower dates so far back that old Pliny
wondered II Albion took It's name from
its white cliffs or from its pretty white
roses.
In Edward the Thirds reign gold
coin was struck calleda 'rose noble,
bearing rose on one OF its sides, and
from that time the flower has been
intimately associated with the nation.
The Rosicrucians Of the seventeenth
century, popularity styled the brothers
OF the rosy cross" brought the rose
into great prominence.
The wars OF the roses has reference
to the long and bloody fueds between
the houses Of York and Lancaster for
the possession OF the English crown
the white rose being the badge OF
the former, and the red rose that Of
the latter.
Regarding the thistle, tradition says
that II along with It's motto, "Wha
daur meddle wi me-" was first
adopted as o symbol under the fol-
lowing circumstances:
Aparty Of invading Danes attempted
TO surprise and capture the Scotch
army under the cloud Of night. As
they drew near the slumbering camp,
one Of the party trod upon prickly
thistle, and lesped into the air with q
cry Of pain. His cry aroused the
Scotchmen, who few to arms and fell
upon the invaders with such courage
and success that they were driven
from the field.
From that day the thistle was worn
o. badge, and ultimately became the
emblem Of Scotland.
The trefoil, or three-leafed clover,
the badge Of Guild Ireland, has q story
connected with il also.
st. Patrick, when instructing the
people in religious doctrines, found
great difficulty in conveying to their
minds the idea Of the triple Godhead.

Two pretty curtains were rolled away.
Two little windows were opened Wide
And could see who was living inside.
A dear little girl peeped out and smiled
Afterward cane q naughty child.
And the windows were dim with sudden
shower
And the curtains were crumpled and red for
an hour.
But the sunbeams burst through clouds, and
then
The good little girl came back again.
There she stayed, to my hearts delight,
Till the curtains fell and she said good
night,
Can you guess what windows were opened
wide,
And who are the children that live insidel

is your mistress at home?"
The gentleman who asked this ques-
tion of stately butler at the door of
house in Belgrave square was our
friend Of the Royal academy, but he
was no longer gloomy and morose. He
was eager and excited. So great was
the difference which this change of ex-
preston made in his countenance that
he seemed another man.
'Mrs. Marston is at homo, sir.
What nameY'
The butler looked at him a little
askance.
"Never mind my name; show me
in"
There was an imperiousness about
his manner which conquered the but
Ter, in spite of the deepening mystery.
The visitor was shown in silence
into the drawingroom, where lady
dressed in black, still young and
beautiful lady, but pale and thin, sat
with her head on her hand. Nellie
played at her feet, but the mother was
not paying any attention to the child.
"Gertrude''
She sprang to her feet, and for
moment look of the most intense Joy
came into her face. She seemed rs II
she would have fallen into the arms
stretched out to her, but then suddenly
she recoiIed, saying, with bitterness:

"Disown her! Neverl Did dis.
own her when found out?"
"You did few hours ago, aud you
must have known. You said il TO in

He caught up the child and kissed
her wildly, passionstely.

they should have daughter he would
wish her to be called Ellen after this
sister of his. His wife had declared
with heat that she hated the name.
Was it possible that she could be jeal :
oGs even of dead child? Or was it
simply that love of opposition which
ended by making their life together
impossible? All, II Nellie had lived,
he would have had some one to love-
some one to turn to in his desolation.
The likeness was extraordinary.
"Do you. like my picture?"
He turned round and saw the orig
inal Of the portrait standing at his

was! And how much prettier than her

but he could not adequately render the
light which danced in the dark eyes,
nor the dimples that came and went in

''It is very nice, but you yourself
are nicer still, he said with a smile.
How that smile became him!
What is your name?' lie pursued.
"Nellie."
He started.
"It is a curious coincidence, he
said, that you remind me of a Nellie
who died long ago."
The child looked up with sympathe-

"You weren't her papa, were your

"Oh!" said Nellie, in q disappointed
tone, and her face fell. 'Then it's no

She stood for q moment irresolute;
then made as il she would 60. He
did not want her to go; he took her

The lady hushcd her, took her hand
and led her quickly from the room.

gentle nan, as he stopped, much dis
composed, to pick 1t up again.
Our friend meantime, passed through
the crowd and hurried breathlessly on,
through the turnstile, down the steps,
just in time to see an open carriage
with two horses, and a footman in
livery, drive off. In it were the lady
in mourning and little Nellie.

"a WIDE AWAKE CLUB.
In Order to Join This Organization You
Must Have Insomnia

Mhss nave susonhnia.
Lady Eardley, one of the most prom
inent church workers in England, be-
came. because of her labors iu behalf
OF unfortunates, victim of insom-
mia. She started a club called the Guild
of the Night Worshipers. No one is
eligible to membership who does not
suffer from lack Of sleep. All others are
barred.
In little tract devoted to the prop
aganda of the club aud entitled "Sleep-
less Nights" the titled authoress urges
the extension of its membership, while
strange to say, in the articles of the
society are found several suggestions
which are supposed to induce peaceful
sleep.
The articles Constitution of the So
ciety are as follows:
First.-Eyery member is asked to
pray nightly that our dear Lord will
bless the guild to his own honor and
glory and to the comfort and peace of
all its members.
Second.--Eaoh member has n number,
and en- joining should choose>a designa-
tion by which he or she wishes to be
prayed for.
Third.-A leaflet will be sent from
time to time containing a list of mem
bers and the objects for which members
prayers are asked.
Fourth.-Should any member wish to
correspond with any other member he
or she must inclose his or her letter un-
sealed with the nImher Of the member
he or she wishes to communicate with
written at the top of the left band cor
ner) in stamped envelope to the secre-
tary, E., who will forward it.
Fifth.-lt is suggested that members
(if able) should begin service by repeat
ing the evening collect, "Lighten our
darkness, " ETC., and Psalm 1874.
SiXth.-Being member does not in
volve joining in service every night,
but only when the person feels so in
clined.
Seventh. ideas mud words
fail. one of the collects as q subject of
prayer and meditation is recommended
as very helpful and suggestive, or else
prayers for those who are in hospitals
or the dying. 1t is also suggested the
members should keep their prayer pa
pers by their bedside end at night
should read over in turn one or more of
the requests contained in them so as to
be able when awake to pray for them in
more or less detail.
There are 72 members of tho club,
seven of whom are Americans and
while the names OF the sleepless ones
are supposed to be secret known cply
to Lady Eardley it has leaked out that
the Rev. George b. Pratt, assistant rec
tor of the Church of the Epiphany, Chi

members of the organization. Each
member has, however, list of pseudo
