guests, a woman, "do you know that
there are times when it is dangerous
to enter an Episcopal church?'
"What is that, madam" said the
bishop, with great dignity, straight

II say there are times when it is
positively dangerous to enter the
church." she replied.
THAT cannot be- said the bishop.

Why" said she, lit is when there
is canon in the reading desk, a
big gun in the pulpit, when the
bishop is charging his clergy, the
choir is murmuring the anthem, and
the organist is trying to drown the
choir"
A hearty laugh went the round Of
the table at the bishops expense,

AFTER HILES.

After while and one intends
To be gentler to his friends,
To walk with them, in the hush
OF still evenings, DER the plush
of home leading fields and stand
Long at parting, hand in hand;
One, in time, will joy to take
New resolves for someone's sake,
And wear then the look that lies
Clear and pure in other eyes
He will soothe and reconcile
His own conscience after while.
Afterwhile-we have in view
A far scene to journey to
Where the old home is and where
The old mother waits us there,
Peering, as the time grows late,
Down the old path To the gate,
How Wen click the latch that locks
In the pinks and hollyhocks,
And leap up the path once more,
Where she waits Us at the door!
How Wen greet the dear old smile
And the warm tears after while!

"My Mother Needs Me"


The surgeons and nurses at ST..
Mary's hospital, says the "Philadel.
phia Times" were unusually dis
tressed over the death, recently, of
Private Henry J. Wind, of Company
d, Third New York Regiment.
The hospital attaches had taken an
especial interest in Winds case,
and everything possible was done to
save him. The surgeons, after con-
sultation, decided that his only
chance of recovery lay in the per-
formance of delicate surgical CD
Grafton. The surgeons did their
work we'll, but the patient collapsed
under the knife. They carried him
back to his cot in the ward, and
realized that he had but few min
utes to live. The soldier, who seem
ed to understand his own condition
fully, clutched one of the doctors by
the sleeve, and said: "Oh, pull me
through, doctor; my mother needs
me. She needs me bad" He fell
back, breathing stentoriously, and a
nurse passed her soothing hand over
his hot brow. At that moment the
occupants of the room were electri-
fed by the strangely appropriate
strains of song that floated through
the window from the street. A quar-
tette of young men, with exception
ally good voices, was passing the
hospital, singing:-
Just break the news to mother, she
knows how dear love her,
And tell her not to wait for me, for I'm
not coming home;
Just say there is no other can take the
place of mother,
Then kiss her dear, sweet lips for me
and break the news to her.
Almost at that very moment the
sufferer gasped and was dead. The
singers passed on down the street,
and the quiet in the ward was
broken by the low sobbing of the
nurse. There were tears, too, in the
eyes of the surgeon.-Success.

Por1teDess and Good-Breeding.

~Politeness' and good breeding
are too often and quite enormously
considered synonyms. Politeness
takes it's rise from the soul, and
from education ana examples. Gen
tility, or good breeding, Is acquired
by habit, and especially by imita-
tion.
One cam be very polite, while fail
ing to observe some of the laws of
the code Of good breeding; and one
can know and apply all these laws,
without being a. all polite. 1t is
hardly necessary to point out how
superior is politeness to good breed
ing, while adding that their union
is preferable to their separation.
One can observe very exactly the
prescriptions of gentility, send or
return cards when circumstances
require pay visits after proper in
tervals salute with grace; fail in
40 dsstW Of society. SO called; in a
word, be irreprOachable in every
conventional duty, and nevertheless
not be polite in the true sense of the
word. The rules of good breeding
constitute sort of dictionary
whose text one can know or consult,
but which does not teach politeness.
The natures which are born with
this necessity of politeness are po
lite, not because the world expects q
formal politeness, but because they
would suffer If they did not avoid
every cause of paining others.
To act always with n politenes:
which extends below the surface
and thrusts its roots into the heart
and makes part of the feelings, one
must determine not to refer every
thing 10 himself, not to accept the
goodness of others without render
ing an equivalent; he must not con
slider that all things in society exis

plainly, penetrate to the though

Some Notes of Women.

The noble devotion of Madame
Dreyfus to her husband in his prob
ably unjust and certainly cruel suf-
fering, adds new gem to the crown
of womanhood. 1t would not be too
much to say that the convict of
DEVILS Island owes his prospects of
freedom to his wife, and the assur-
ance of her inexhaustible love has
doubtless been his chief comfort and
support amid the horrors of his stu
alton.

Apropos to the advice to carry all
the cheerfulness into aud through
the coming year, those verses of the
much admired James Whitcomb
Riley may be appended:
oh, heart of mine, we shouldn't
Worry sol
What we've missed of calm we couldn'
Have, you know!
What we've met of stormy pain
And of sorrows driving rain,
We can better meet again
If it blow.
For, we know not every morrow
Can be sad
So, forgetting all the sorrow
We have had,
Let us fold away our fears,
AND put by Our foolish tears,
And through all the com ing years
Just be glad.
