VALUE OF QUIETUDE.
THE Pilgrim. /

The Pilgrim.
BE careful to shut the door after YOU,
but, while you are doing so, shut il
carefully. Did you ever notice the
difference in the way doors are treated
in the various households with which
you are acquainted? When travelling
OH railroad trains have you ever OBJ
served how some brakemen throw the
car door to with deafening crash
which threatens to knock the end OF the
car out ON the platform; while othen
close it so carefully and quietly that
those who are not looking are unawart
that they have entered the carp Whicl
brakeman would you prefer should
have charge of your car? In which
household would you prefer to live,-
where the doors are slammed or where
every one takes thought to close then.
quietly?
Have you dined in different restau-
rants or hotels in large cities,and notice,
the money value of elegant quietud,
and refinement? In some places vol.
nave paid for your entertainment per
uaps twice as much as in others, anO
yet your bill of fare was no, much dIl.
ferent, but the way it was served gav,
you far different sensation. In the
first place, you felt as if you were taking
your meal, feeding among the scullions
in the kitchen, in the midst ofslamninl
doors, and stamping feet, aud rafting
dishes; while in the other and more ex-
pensive, not fOOtstep was heard, every
door swung on velvet, no two dishes
ever seemed to touch. You enjoyed the
quiet, the calm. and the peace; and
when you looked at your bill, You real
lied that thoughtful aud elegant quietude
has money value. To the proprietors
of that hotel or restaurant, and to the
walters and others who serve there ,this
quiet has a money value; for there are
many of those who have money to use,
who are willing to pay twice the money
for the same food when the service is
quiet and refund. The proprietor real
ICES his profit, and the walters appre-
cate their high wages, aud the generous
tips" of their pleased and satisfied
patrons
There is a lesson in this. Young peo-
pie who shut the door with a slam do
not realize how far the sound and wind
of that banging door may carry until il
desiens ears that otherwise might listen
to their requests for preferment, and
blows away many bright prospects OF
success which seemed 50 possible OF full
tilment. Boys and girls, young people
shut the door, and shut it quietly. Let
that act be Indicative of your gentle,
thoughtful carefulness through life
and many doors, which you desire t.
enter, will be opened 10 you, which
otherwise would be locked against you

WOnAS.

Whether sister. friend, sweetheart,
wife or mother, woman is the noblest
work of God. II she be high-minded
and pure hearted, she stands near the
sun. When, from any cause she fails,
the descent is 30 swift, the distance so
great. the restoration is well-nigh i'm
possible. Every man deserves to look
upon his sister as a queen of all the
virtues, upon his sweetheart as a para
gOn of purity. upon his wife as a spot
less priestess Of love, and upon his
mother as an angel. They are what he
lives for, and for them he would brave
ali dangers and gladly die. They are
the pride Of life, their smiles illumi-
nate the rugged thOrn-stre wn path from
the cradle to the grave, Their kiss is
the balm of Gilead to his bruised and
bleeding heart when Others forsake,
disappointments are sore, and all the
world is dark. Cheered by sisters
affection, sustained by a wife's devo-
ton, and upheld by a mothers death
less love, it is strange that man should
fall by the way side a victim of vice
and lust. Knowing, and loving his own
so well, it is almost incredible that he
could lure to the hell Of shame and
ruin the sister, daughter, wife or moth
er of other men. The fall of woman
hood is sad and awful commentary
upon the depravity of man. Did all
men but keep the golden rule, there
would not be a wrecked home, blasted
life, a broken heart, or fallen woman in
the wide NOTWITHSTANDING.

1.-THE Pilgram.

I
Every person SHOULD have a person
ality, an individuality, peculiarly his
own. There is but little excuse for the
existence of anything or anybody that
is only an echo, or shadow, of some
body else. The young man who per-
sistently seeks to become a second edi-
ton of some capable or noted man Of
his acquaintance will usually succeed
only in initiating bis foibles and imper-
fections. The one pursuing such a
course never attains a high degree Of
efficiency or usefulness in the world
Many students and young writers are
prone to affect the literary style of
some iavorite author. Unfortunate is
he who yields to this tendency. One
should CLEAN from many fields; eat, di-
gest, and assimulate the mental food
thus obtained; and then from the treas
ured store, from the mint of his own
mind, coin thoughts in language forms
all his own. Not long ago the noted au-
thor Dean Howells was questioned a.
to the effect upon his literary style o.
his extensive reading Of other authors
His answer was: mo doubt they had
their effect as whole; but individually
l was freed from the last by each sue
ceedIng author, until at length | came
to understand that must be like my
self, and no other" The learning OF
this lesson was no doubt the most val
liable Of any ever learned in the liter
airy experience of Mr.. Howells, ano
happy is that young writer who learns
this same lesson early in his career.

WHEN WE GROW OLD.

lBY ANNIE G. HoPKINs.l
When we grow old, dear love, and from my
eyes
The light and brilliance of my hot youth dies,
And all the fairness you are praising now
Casts but its wrath DER lip and cheek and
brow,
While one by one our golden visions flee
1 ask you--win you love me faithfully
When we grow old?
When time shall turn these sunny locks to
gray,
From my trim form all beauty take away,
When grace and ease and elegance are gone
And nanght is left Loves fires to feed upon,
You, whom I choose my king among all men
Still your hearts queen, shall be reigning
then
When we grow old
God keep you ever happy BY my sidel
Though age may stem this fevered passion tide,
When worn and weary down Life's vale we
stray,
Be my hearts anchor as you are to-day;
Be my true love that shall the closer cling
Through all the changes coming years may
bring;
Our faith upheld-count this our lasting gain
That we so live that Love undimmed remain
When we grow old?

The Farmers Home Journal gives
the following advice to farmers, which
just now is eminently apropos:
Press dispatches announce that the
farmers of the United States, especially
those interested in corn and wheat
growing, are working up combina-
ton having for its object the storing
and holding of their grain indefinitely,
so it can be placed on the market when
prices are satisfactory. The plan has
been receiving attention through the
grange and other farmers organizations
for several years. If cooperation of
the farmers generally can be secured,
they can, to large extent, control the
grain market. Such a movement should
receive the cooperation of all farmers.
hut any arrangement made for storing
should specially provide that millers
! should not be allowed to grind it up
without paying for it, as was so gem
orally done with the last two crops.
