boys disappointment. But the walk ing was too bad for him to go out, and there was nothing to occupy him in the house."
 Wasn't there?" said his father, dry ly. Well, all I know is that he has more toys and books now upstairs than I ever saw when I was child; and, If I had ever ventured to be one-half as troublesome and disobedient as he has been this morning. would have found myself in bed about three hours ago. It's no use, Fred A bargain is bar gain, and you have broken your half of it. So don't cry like baby, but take your punishment like little man."
 Poor Fred! He was not baby, with all his faults, and he stood quietly by the window, choking back his rising tears, as the sleigh drove gayly off with his mother and Baby Nell tucked away under the warm carriage robe, and an empty place by his father where he ought to have been. Even after 1t had disappeared, he stood gazing into the streets, which were growing misty be- fore his eyes when the same boy who had cleaned the pavement in the morn ing came slowly by, tugging after him a big, rough sled. Recognizing the house, he glanced up and saw the woe begone little figure standing behind the parlor curtains.
 Good day!" he said, in a friendly fashion. Are you waiting for your sleigh ride?"
 Fred, glad to have some one to talk to, threw open the window and leaned out.
 ''I am not going" he said, disconso- lately.
 Not going! Why?"
 Because l was bad, and papa wouldn't take ne"
 "Whew!" Connor gave a sympa- thetic whistle. "What all have you been doirg?"
 "Oh. broke Nell's doll, and kicked my shoe into the fire, and would not have my hair brushed, and-lots of things!" said Fred, dismissing the res. of his shortcomings in a breath.
 Connor gave another whistle.
 Well, you did make it lively" he said, ''and I don't much wonder that you lost your drive. But put on your coat and come out, aud I'll give you 6 pull on my sled instead"
 "Oh. shall I?" cried Fred, delighted, and then stopped. Papa told me was

 'Oh, it isn't Washiugton's fault, you kaow!" said Connor, impatiently. But, of course, you can't come if your father said not to. I am real sorry. though; and my day has been such a jolly one"
 Has it?' asked Fred, curiously. How much did you make cleaning pavements?"
 "A dollar and quarte~just five cents more than expected"
 And what are you going to do with the money?"
 "Spent-every penny of iti"
 What! All on candy?" asked Fred, measuring his companions capacity in the line by his own.
 Candy" echoed Connor, contemp- tuously. should think not" Then checking off the sums rapidly on hia fingers: Mutton, 35 cents; coal, 40; tea, 25; sugar, nine; bread, seven, and
  the rest in apples for the children. Not bad days work that; and now I am going to the hill for coast" Fred was silent for a minute. There was something in his companions day that made him feel little ashamed of his own.
 "Good-by," he said. soberly. q wish l could go coasting, too; but I know l can't"
 And, shutting the window resolutely, he turned back into the lonely room. "I am afraid my little boy has not had very pleasant or profitable holiday said his mother, when she tucked him in bed that night, and gave him last kiss.
 Well, no, haven't" Fred admitted But the boy-the snow boy I told you about, mamma-said it wasn't Wash l ington's fault. So maybe-perhaps- it was mine. ."-Agnes Repplier, in | Golden Days.

When the pavement was nearly clean he slipped out of the nursery. ran down the stairs and softly opened the big front door.
 Good morning." he said. Aren't you very cold?"
 Good morningir responded the boy, taking off his cap politely and eying the small, shivering figure in the door, way. No, l am not so very cold, but 1 am thinking you will be soon."
 "Oh. can go in and warm myself" said Fred, "and so can you, if you want to. I'll take you into the kitchen"
 Thank youl" answered Connor, for 1t was he. But want to clean as many pavements as can this morning, and l have no time to spare"
 And what are you going to get for this one?"
 Twenty cents."
 'Is that all? What lot of work for only 20 cents!"
 Connor laughed.
 But you see," he said, "this is my third pavement this morning. That makes GO cents. And if I clean three more that will be dollar and twenty cents."
 But at that rate you will be at work nearly all day." said Fred. "Now, am going sleighing with my father this afternoon. Were you ever in a sleigh ?''
 "once only--in the milkman's. But have a sled of my own. I made it all myself"
 Master Fred! Master Fredl" called voice from the hall; and nurse, hur. rying out, drew in her charge and shut the door with bang Do you want to catch your death of sold, standing on the steps this freezing morning without so much as cap on your head? If you are not more care than baby!" Fred wriggled away from her and scampered upstairs to avoid further scolding.
 'Oh. dear!" he sighed. 'I hate this old nursery, and it will be hours and hours before afternoon comes. I just know I am not going to be good at all 1 don't feel any goodness in mel" And apparently he didn't. A restless spirit of mischief seemed to have taken possession of the child, and its twofolt result was to keep the nursery in hot water all morning and himself at home all afternoon.

been falling stead fly all night, so that when the sun forced its way at last through the hang ing clouds, the whole city lay covered with smooth, white mantle. Two very different little boys stood at the win- dows of two very different homes, and looking out upon the snow with very different feeling in their hearts.
 II tell you what, mother" said Con- nor Mcclure, "here Is a stroke of luckl No school to-day, and the snow at least eight inches deep. How many quarters do you suppose I'll make shoveling pavements between this and dinner time?"
 "Indeed and it's the money that will be welcome" said his mother, looking up from the stove, where their modest breakfast was in preparation. But it's poor way to be spending your holiday, Con-working harder than if you were at school"
 Bah! that's nothing. Shoveling snow is as good as play" answered Connor, who, to tell the truth, was not very fond of his books. Give me my cup of coffee, mother. and I'm off. It's rich we're going to be this day. and me with a new wooden shovel that will make the snow fly quicker than pow der"
 "Good-by, then, and good luck to you," said his mother, as the little fig ure trudged gayly off, with the new shovel resting on one shoulder and his broom on the other. Its the jewel of boy you are, anyway, and your fath- er's very self over again, more's my luck"
 And the widow turned back cheerful ly to her own hard days work.
 Dear mel" sighed Freddy Lester, as he stood looking disconsolately out of his nursery window. ''roo much snow to go out, and nothing to do at home. I don't see what's the use of having holiday if one can't have lit- tie fun on it."
 "Why. Master Fred. am ashamed of you!" said his nurse. Haven't you toys, and books, and games, and dear little sister to play with? And isn't your father going to take you out sleighing this very afternoon, If you are good boy?'
 But I don: suppose will be good" replied Fred, in an injured tone. How is boy to be good when there is noth- ing to amuse him? And don't want to play with Nell. She is only baby, and silly one at that. Didn't she drop my best agate out of the window yesterday and break it ali to bits? wish could go out!" and he leaned moodily against the window sill and gazed down into the streets.
 Underneath boy. not much taller than himself, was cleaning off the snow, working away vigorously, and stopping every now and then to hold his ears with his red-mittened hands or to warm his feet by stamping up and down the frosty pavement.
 Fred watched him with interest. Aft CT awhile the boy looked up, and, see ing the curly head in the window, nodded and smiled, upon which Fred nodded and smiled back, and for the moment quite forgot to be cross.

4. We need a clearer comprehension
of the meaning of adultery. The Mas,
ter gave us this when he uttered the
words Of our text. Many people keen
the commandment in the letter but
break 1t in the spirit. All impure
throughts, words, stories are to be
avoided as one shuns the venomous
snake. They poison the mind, dull the
sensibility and destroy the soul. Many
men are Just as guilty of polygamy and
adultery as B. H. Roberts, and with
him they deserve the execration of all
decent people.
Finally. there ought to be but one
standard by which to judge men and
women; the same law should apply to
both; but today this is not the case.
The woman is cast out, dispised and
pushed down to a hopeless life and
an endless hell. The man who has
brought about her ruin. is with open
arms, received into our homes and al
lowed to marry a virtuous girl, only 10

There was a man, it was said one
time.
Who went astray in his youthful prime,
Can the brain keep cool and the heart
keep quiet.
When the blood is a river that's run

And boys will be boys, the folks say,
And a mar is the better who has had
his day.

And Christian people threw open the
door
With a warmer welcome than ever be-

and honor were at his command
And a spotless woman gave him her
hand.
And the world strewed their pathway
with blossoms abloom
God bless ladye, and God bless

There was a maiden who went astray
In the golden dawn of her life's young
day.
She had more passion than heart and
head,
And followed blindly where fond Love
led.
And love unchecked is a dangerous
guide
To wander at will by a fair girls side.
The woman repented and turned from
sin,
But no door opened to let her in.
The preacher prayed that she might be
forgiven
But told her to look for mercy in
heaven
For this the law Of earth, we know
That the woman is stoned while the
man may 60.
