COOKING VERSUS MORALS.
Perfect Meals Are a Saving Grace to
Many Men.

Perfect Meals Are "A Saving Grace to
Many Men.
When a man does not get the stimu-
lating nourishment which his nature
Graves, he resorts to liquor to supply
the want. With this fact staring one
in the face, is it not wise to teach that
unfailingly good food, with all the ele-
ments that stimulate and nOuriSh the
body and the brain. has its moral as
well as It's physical benefits?
There are cases on record proving
the benefits Of public school cooking,
where the domestic sky has been per-
fectly cleared of clouds because good
food was offered where before it had
been badly cooked, and consequently
did not properly nourish. In one home
the substitution of a well cooked cup
of cocoa for the sloppy. herby tea that
had become n component part of every
morning meal, and nice Indian cake
or plate of mullins for the dry bakers
loaf. began work of reform. The
father was proud of the daughters
skill as a cook; the mother, who had
grown careless and shiftless and ill.,
different. was shamed by it. The con-
sequence was better provision ON the
part of one or more care in preparation
on the part of the other.
The mother was by no means above
turning to account some of the prac-
teal knowledge the daughter had ac-
quired under such competent training,
and she began also to brush up her
own knowledge that she had carelessly
allowed to fall into disuse. The re-
suit is happy home, united family.

man who puts into the family larder

Humanity,

I would not enter my list OF friends
(Though graced with polished manners and fn'
sense,
Yet wanting sensibility) the
Who needlessly sets foot upon
An inadvertent step may crush the snail
That crawls at evening in the public path;
But he that has humanity, forewarned.
Will tread aside. and let the reptile live.
The creeping vermin. loathsome to the sight.
And charged perhaps with venom. that intrudes.
A visitor unwelcome, into scenes
Sacred to neatness and repose, the alcove,
The chamber, or refectory, may die:
A necessary act incurs blame.
Not so when. held within their proper bounds,
And guiltless of otfense, they range the air,
Or take their pastime in the spacious field:
There they privileged; and he that hunts
Or harms them there is guilty OF a wrong.
Disturbs the economy Of Natures realm.
Who. when she formed. designed them an abode.
The is this: II mans convenience, health.
Or safety interfere. his rights and claims
Are paramount and must extinguish theirs.
Else they are all-the meanest things that are
As free to live, and to enjoy that life,
AS God was free to form them at the first,
Who in his sovereign wisdom made them all.
Ye. therefore. who love mercy. teach your sons
To love it too

The Right Must Win.

o, it is hard to work for God,
To rise and take his part
Upon this battlefield of earth,
And not sometimes lose hearth
He hides himself SO wondrously,
As though there were no God;
He is lesst seen when all the powers
OF Ill are most abroad.
Or he deserts US AZ the hour
The eight is all but lost;
And seems to leave Us to ourselves
Just when we need him most.
Ill masters good. good seems to change
To i'll with greatest ease;
And, worst OF all, the good with good
Is at cross-purposes-
Ahi God is other than We think;
His ways are far above,
Far beyond reason's height, and reached
Only by childlike love.
Workman of God. o, lose not heart,
But learn what God is like;
And in the darkest battlefield
Thou shalt know where TO strike.
Thrice blest Is he TO whom is given
The instinct that can tell
That God is on the field when he
Is mos. invisible.
Blest, too, is he who can divine
Where real right doth lie,
And dares to take the side that seems
Wrong to mans blindtcld eye.
For right is right, since God Is God;
and right the day must win.
To doubt would be dislovalty,
To fslter would be sin.

Horatio, thou art cen as just
As e'er my conversation coped withal.
Nay, DO not think fatter:
For what advancement may | hope from thee
That no revenue hast but thy good spirits,
To feed and clotle thee? Why should the poor be
battered?
No, let the candied tongue lick absurd pomp,
And crook the pregnant hinges of the knee,
Where thrift may follow fawuing. Dost thou
hear?
Since my dear soul was mistress OF her choice,
And could of men distinguish. her election
Hath sealed thee for herself; for thou hast been
As one in suffering all. that suffers nothing
A man that Fortunes buffets and rewards
Hast ta'en with equal thanks; and blessed are
those
Whose blood and judgment well comm
gled,
That they not pipe for Fortunes finger
To sound what stop she please: Give me that
That is not passions slave, and will wear him
In my hearts core, ay. in my heart Of heart,
Az do thee

He Didn.t Ger the rruin.

a gentleman who went to Europe on
the steamer which bore J. p. Morgan
tells an interesting story Of the finan-
cier. He had sent Il cablegram from
New York to the superintendent OF the
railroad line at Southampton for Il
special train to London. Mr. Morgan,
upon disembarking, was met by the
superintendent, to whom he said:
Did you get my cablegram?'
Yes" was the response, "but we
never send special trains with less than
20 passengers"
"But I offered to pay the full price"
responded the banker.
Cant help it, you know was the
curt rejoinder; 1--WE never break our
rules" And Mr.. Morgan went to Lon
don on the regular passenger train

The Sacred bono.

The ossacrum or sacred bone in the
human body was so called because Ger.
tain school of Hebrew philosophers To-
Gated the vital principle in it. 1t is said
that learned rabbi. Joshua ben Han
aniah. once convinced the Emperor Had
rian OF its indestructibility by showing
that neither water nor fire had any effect
on it and that no smiths hammer would
crush II. Backbones must have degen-
Grated since then. Perhaps we sit down

The Faith erland.

Where ,the true mans fatherland7
Ts it where he by chance is born?
Doth not the yearning spirit scorn
In such scant borders TO be spannedf
o yes. his fatherland must be
As the blue heaven wide and free
Is it alone where freedom is,
Where God is God and man is mani
Doth he not claim a broader span
For the souls love of h0ine than this7
o yes his fatberland pust be
As the blue heaven wide and free!
Where'er human heart doth wear
joys myrtle-wreath or sorrows gives,
Where'er a human spirit strives
After a life more true and fair,
There is the true mans birthplace grand,
His is worldwide fatherland,
Where'er single slave doth pine,
Where'er one man may help another
Thank God for such birthright, brother
That spot of earth is thine and mine,
There is the true mans birthplace grand,
His is worldwide fatherland,

OLD FAVORITES.
Scandal.


Cursed be the verse, how we'll soee- il flow,
That tends TO make one worthy man my foe,
Give virtue scandal, innocence a fear,
Or from the soft-eyed virgin steal tear.
But he who hurts harmless neichbors peace,
Insults fallen worth. or beauty in distress,
Who loves lie lame SANDER helps about.
Who writes libel, or who copies out;
That fop whose pride affects Patrons name.
Yet absent wounds an authors honest fame;
Who can your merit selishly approve,
And show the sense of it without the love;
Who has the vanity to call you friend
Yet wants the honor, injured, to defend;
Who tells whate'er you think, whate'er you say.
And. if he lie not. must at least betray;
Who to the Dean and silver hell <S swear.
And al CanoHs what WAS never there;
Who reads hu, with lust t" mi>arply,

Flowers Without Fruit.
Prune thou thy words; the thoughts control
That Ger thee swell and throng;
They will condense within thy soul.
And change to purpose strong.
But he who lets his feelings nun
In soft luxurious flow,
shrinks when hard service must be done,
And faints at every woe.
Faiths meanest deed more favor bears,
Where hearts and wills are weighed,
Than brightest transports, choicest prayera
Which bloom their hour, and fade.
