again, and furtively glanced across the
aisle at the pretty woman. She was
still smiling in that mysterious fashion.

pensive gaze was fixed on a point about
two feet to his left, and she seemed to

mate was a soh6-loolking young man
with a serious countenance-nothin
dashing or winning about him at ali.
And yet it appeared to the self-satisfied
looking man as if the pretty woman's
smile was meant for the solid-Iookinp
young man on his left. The latter did
| not smile in return, however, and the
whole situation plainly seemed exceed
ingly peculiar to the man who looked
! as II he had plenty of regard for him
self.
This sort of thing went on until the
car reached r street, the mustache-
twister never abating his efforts to
catch the pretty woman's eye, and
the pretty woman continuing to smile
at intervals in the direction of the
man on his left. At r street the
solid~looking man seemed to catch on
to something, and he turned his head
and looked, smiling amusedly. at the
chap who had New York" spelt all
over him. Then he looked across the
way at the pretty woman, and smiled
at her She returned the smile. The
self-complaisant man was obviously
put out over this, and he looked as if
he was about to throw his hand into
the discard and pass out.

toward the solid-loolIing man on his

THE CHILDRENs EASTER.
sprinStlme Teens with Object Les
sons with Which to Impress
the Resurrection Thought.

With the return of Easter, Just as
the first spring flowers are unfolding
and the earliest bird songs delight
our ears, the mother finds in nature
manifold illustrations whereby she
may impress upon her children the
truth of the resurrection. The brown
balls, so devoid OF life and beauty.
which they planted last autumn, have
already pushed their delicately-hued
blossoms up to greet the warm sun
shine, and death has changed to life.
The chrysalis which they discovered
on an old apple tree last Thanksgiv-
ing day, and which has seemed as
dead as the bit of wood to which II
was attached, has now emerged from
the darkness and is futterinp about.
brilliant butterfly. Then, too. the
undeveloped buds of tree and plant
have been brought in doors, and as
warmth and sunshine have fastened
their unfolding the various changes
have been watched and commented
upon. The planting, sprouting and
growth of bean, a pea, n kernel of
corn or morning-glery seed are all
object lessons in which children de-
light, and which are eloquent of the
return of life after apparent death.
With so many appropriate symbols
always at hand, it seems strange that
the Easter egg continues year after
year to be looked upon as almost
the only available form for Easter
favors or illustration for Easter talks.

Foolish Worry over Tomorrow.

Living day by day is our duty. If we
always reckoned that as the limit of our
present duty we should have little trou-
bic. But ordinarily we give ourselves
more anxiety over tomorrow and its
possibilities than over the manifest du-
ties of to-day. To-day's duty may in
clude preparation for tomorrow. So
far tomorrow enters into to-day. But
preparation for tomorrow is not anx-
iety over tomorrow. What we dread
for tomorrow may never come to pass.
II 1t comes to pass, we may have tri-
umph over its worst happenings, or
added and unlooked-for strength in
them. BE not therefore anxious for
the morrow; for the morrow will be
anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the
day is the evil thereof'-and the bless
ing.-S. S. Times.

THE GENERALsHIP OF A CAT.

The mastery of herself which a cat
shows when, having been caught in
q position from which there is no
escape, she calmly sits down to face
cut the threats of a dog, is a mar
veIlous thing" says a writer in the
Boston Transcript. Everybody has
seen a kitten on the street doorstep,
attacked by a dog ten times her size,
Is apparently self-possessed as if she
was in her mistress's lay. If she
turns tail and runs down the street,
she is lost the dog will have a sure
advantage of her. Even as it is, if
he could get up courage enough to
seize her on the spot, he would be
able to make short work of her.
..You dare not touch me, and you
know it. is what her position tells
the dog. But she is intensely on her
guard, in spite of the air of perfect
content. Her legs, concealed under
her fur, are ready for a spring. Her
claws are unsheathed. Her eyes
never move for an instant from the
dog as he bounds wildly from side
to side, barking with comical fury,
those ~glittering syes of hers follow
him with the keenest scrutiny. If
he plucks up his courage, she is
ready, she will sell her life dearly.
She is watching her chance, and she
does not miss it. The dog tries
Fabian tactics, and withdraws a few
feet, settling down upon his fore
paws.
Just then the sound of a dogs
bark in the next street attracts his
eyes and ears for a moment; and
when he looks back, the kitten is
gone. He looks down the street,
and starts wildly in that direction
and reaches a high board fence just
- Il cats tail-a mOnstrOus tail for
such a little CATS vanishing Over
the top of it. He is beaten. The
cat showed not only more courage
than he had, but a great deal more

NOT ON SCHEDULE N

They YER blasting rock near a
river, and dynamite had been placed
IN different localities. The family of
a colored fisherman was curiously in
speeding the work, though they had
been warned away on numerous oc-
casions.
One day the old woman, pipe in
mouth was standing with her two
children near a barrel Of dynamite,
when suddenly there was a terrific
explosion, and the family went up
with it.
The head of the family witnessed
the tragedy from a distance. The
next morning he approached the
mayor of the town and said:
EFF you please sab, I wanter know
what cemetery lots is selling fer in

NOT MONEY BUT MEN.
The Advocate.

Temperance advocates have wasted
a great deal of energy and ink in cal
culating the enormous amount of
money the liquor traffic is costing
the country. Nobody cares three
straws what liquor costs in dollars
and cents. Those who drink it GER
tainly do not, or they would not
spend their money for it and a man
who must be appealed to on the score
of economy to ally himself on the
side of sobriety will not be worth
much after he is won. What is
money, anyhow, when we consider
men? One human soul is worth more
than every dollar that was ever spent
for whiskey since the world began.
And when Temperance people de-
scend from the high plane Of reach
ing out a helping hand to a poor fell
low ehsIaved to rum, and begin to
cOldIy calculate the amount of money
the drunkards T spending, it is
about time to quit the fight. Besides,
the argument rests on a false basis
anyhow. Money that is spent in the
community is not lost, but is in cir
culation, and unfortunately liquor is
a domestic article, much of what is
consumed being made by our own
people. We wish this yer not the
case but it is nevertheless. Let us
not trife with the greatest enemy OF
the race by dickering in dollars and
dimes, but strike for what is worthy
of our noblest effort-the lives and
happiness of our fellows.-Charity
Children.

AS THY DAY.

BY IRIS MARY H. FINN.
As this my day! o promise blest!
Sweet words of comfort, words of
rest!
No more with boding fear [ wait
TO read tO-morroW's hidden fate.
Whate 'er it's tolls, whate'er it's tears,
Whate'er its perils, pains and fears,
While sun and stars and worlds en-
dure
The old, sweet promise standeth
sure.
The Hand that holds the world up
bears
My weary heart with all it's Ire
The Eye that slumbers not has seen
Ny graveyard mounds with grasses
green.
My Fathers pitying love has read
The pain behind the tears I shed.
How comforting his words to me,
"Child, as thy day thy strength
shall be-"
Long, long ago, when life was new,
[ learned that love, divinely true,
That watchful care that cares for all,
The stars grand march, the spar
rows fall.
Long, long ago | learned to trust
That calm, wise will and purpose
just.
Worn, weary, wounded, now at
length,
1 lean upon that matchless strength.
AS this my day my little day!
broken, troubled, thwarted day
The day whose rOseate morning
bloom
Was quenched and darkened into
gloom.
The morn of gifts The noon of loss I!
The lengthening shadow of the cross
Once more, my Father, say to me,
"Child, as thy day thy strength
shall be-"
The Advocate.
