At the New Year reception At the
White House, three ladies, a mother
and two handsome daughters, who are
we'll known In society here, passed into
the red parlor and then entered tho
line. Just behind them came a color
Cd woman, and back Of hex two young
ladies, quite plainly dressed, and then

name, Mrs. Dobson," and each OF the
young ladies said Miss Dobson." Then

Dobson" and the two young ladies be-
hind her each murmured Miss Dob

man. who said "Mr. Dobson." BY that
lime everybody within hearing dis
lance was shaking with suppressed
laughter. The seven 'Dobsons" eyed

The Benefits Of Early Rising.

It was once laid down by a cele-
brated writer and historian that the
difference between rising at and In
the morning for the space Of forty
years, supposing man to go to bed
at the same hour every night, is nearly
equivalent to the addition OF ten years
to the life. This consideration should
carry very great weight and be suf11-
Client to induce those who have not
hitherto practiced this habit to COM
mence to do SO, more especially the
people who are always complaining
that life is not long enough for them to
transact all the work that they have
to perform. There Is much founda-
ton for their complaint II they persist
In wasting SO many valuable hours OF
the day In bed. The advantages and
benefits Of early rising cannot be over
estimated; in the early hours OF the
morning the brain is clearer and more
ready for work, and after a nights
sleep we should be ready to attack the
work Of the day.

WORDS OF WISDOM,

Want of care does us more damage
than want of knowledge.
Private charity must be discrimin.
ating in order to be useful.
Would you live with ease, do wha.
you ought, and not what you please.
If man has little ability, people
abuse him because he does not edo"
more.
The dwarf sees farther than the
giant when he has the giants shoulders
to mount on.
1t is only clear that many fortunes
are in excess of any rational reward of
individual service.
How few there are who have courage
enough to own their faults, or resolu-
ton enough to mend them!
The worst romance is not 20 cor
rupting as false history, false phil.
osophy or false political essays.
As rule there is more happiness,
more genuine satisfaction and truer
life, and more obtained from life, in
the humble cottages of the poor than
in the palaces of the rich.
Never try to make too good a bar
gain either for yourself or your en-
ployer. Be always fair, avoiding any
thing like sharp practice. tits poor
bargain when both parties to it are
not benefited and therefore 1appy at
having made it.

Dangers from Lamps.

The lamp is such necessary article
IN the home that it is strange it should
be neglected as often as it is. It re-
quires but few minutes care each
day to keep 1t in order. yet this short
time is denied it by many housekeep-
ers. An ill-kept lamp is dangerous,
as well as unsightly object. and many
Of the explosions Of oil lamps, which
appear almost every day in the news
papers, might be traced to careless
ness in caring for the lamps. No wo-
man having the welfare of her family
at heart will willfully neglect this very
important task. The danger Of allow
ing children or even careless grewn-up
people to handle lamps cannot be over.
