A FRIEND IN NEED.
Genut.e Service Done at the Risk OF
the Friendship-won from a
I Gaming Table.

To risk friendship in order to do a
friend service is to be friend indeed.
Such an act calls for courage of high
order. Henry A. Wise, Of Virginia, says
his biographer, used to tell this story
nj his friend, Col. John Mccarthy:
1twas at the entrance of a faro bank.
1he colonel was about to go in, and
Grged me to accompany him. 1 de-
<iined shortly.
"'You have no right said /, ito set
each an example,
HE said he should go alone, and went
10 1 followed him to the head of the
stairs and stopped him. Looking him
iull in the face, / said:
You are rich in every thing. You
have a mother and sisters. Are they
provided for by you?'
He turned black in the face. The
veins in his temples curdled. / expect
rs he would strike mewith his cane. 1t
Uas the only moment of our acquaint-
snce when had reason to suppose that
we should no longer be friends.
Do you take me for dog?' said he.
Yes said 1, for baser than a dog,
u you have the heart to give of your
abundance to the keepers of faro bank
hells instead of giving it to mother!'
He dropped tears, took me by the
arm, went in, bet few moments and
then came out, completely subdued.
Ever after that he would permit me to
chide him like little child. YOUTHS

THE POWER OF THE TRUTH
How Hopeless Lives Have Become
Beautiful, Honorable, Fruitful
and Fragrant.

To discover the truth is the chief en-
ALIGNMENT of human life. The theo-
3ogian studies il that he may hold and
proclaim correct beliefs. But he Is
not the only one, as so many seem 10
suppose, who is seeking truth. The
srientist is equally eager in his pursuit
Of it, so that he may know the facts
about astronomy, biology or something
else. The banker is no less eager for
81, or his operations in finance will net
aim loss instead of profit. The carpen-
ter makes his careful measurements be-
cause he knows well that unless his
angles be true his building viii injure
his reputation The farmer plows and
sows and breeds cattle with careful
recognition of what experience has
caught to be true in regard to his occu-
patton. Each and all of us tries con-
xinually to make wise use of such truth
M we possess and to add to our knowl-
edge of it. Even imposters and charla-
tans seek to clothe falsehood in the garb
OF truth, or nobody could be victim
fzed.
Thus, willingly or not, consciously or
not, all men daily concede the power of
she truth. In the realm of the spiritual
1t lis most important of all that this
power be recognized, partly because
the life of the soul is the chief life, to
which all else is secondary, and partly
because it is here that mistakes are
most easily made. 1t is very important
that our relations with our fellowmen
he natural, advantageous and promis-
tng. As each new year opens we try
20 readjust them, if necessary, so as to
Improve them. 1t is vastly more i'm
poTtart that our relations with our
Father in Heaven should be improved.
In order TO accomplish this we must
sake greater pains to appreciate the
power of this truth, revealed in the
Gospel, over our hearts and lives.
His truth is made known to us in or
Fer to enlighten us about spiritual
auty and privilege; to convince us OF
ain and lead us TO penitnce, faith and
righteousness; to fortify us against
evil in every form; and to qualify us for
consecrated usefulness. Do we thus
4nderstand and accept it? Do we COM
prehend that, ignorant and weak al
though we may be of ourselves, we can
Become wise and strong by possessing
Gods truth? 1t is His divine gift to
everyone who is willing to receive it,
1T is offered freely and abundantly. II
wiiido it's blessed work for the humblest
and poorest as successfully as for the
most eminent or the most rich in earth
sy possessions. BY the power of the
truth about sin, about redemp-
ton, about holiness, about conse-
Grated service thousands OF empty
useless, wasted, forlorn and hopeless
lives have become beautiful, honorable,
fruitful and sweet with the very fra
GRANGE of Heaven. Let it be our de
termined purpose, in spite of every dis
'eouragement to test what this power
~ Gods truth can do for us.-Congre-

The Butterny.. Pocket.

The male butterflies have the proud
privilege of pocket, but the pocket
of butterfly is wonderfully made. IL
Is really an extension of the under
wing folded back on the upper side.
but it is exquisitely coiored and
marked like the upper side so that It
is very hard to detect. and no one has
yet discovered just how It is opened.
although undoubtedly the butterfly
can throw it open while he is flying.
AT first glance there seems to be only
white orNamber-eolored silk floss with
In, but examine this with a micro
scope and you will find twisted rib
hons, slender rods shaped like q shop
herds crook, others jointed bamboo
like, and flexible rods and tiny scales
OF various sorts and patterns. 1t is
known that insects have marvellous
ly keen scent, and it is believed that
all these odd little objects are per
fune boxes, and that the fragrance so
thrown abroad is signal call TO the
female butterfly which NAV be wan
dering about in the air. It is, to saw
the least, g. very interesting guess.
and there Is evidence to prove that
butterflies and moths are summoned
from distances by cdors THAI wy
would hardly notice.-Philadelph
