OF all the dolls / ever knew, there's
not one could compare
With Geraldine Jemima Jane, the
fairest of the fair;
Her eyes were of the bluest blue, her
cheeks we're reddest red,
She understood, as well as you, each
single word one said.
She made all other dolls seem plain.
Did Geraldine Jemima Jane.
She had the sweetest temper O
could ever hope to find,
And when you stuck her full of pins
she never seemed TO mind
She never sulked, or scowled, or
trowned, although you thumped
aud Jared her,
And when you dropped her on the
ground she only smiled the
harder.
The equal you might seek in vain
OF Geraldine Jemima Jane.
Hen blood was of the purest bran,
her flesh was finest wax,
Her stylish patent leather shoes were
fastened on with taoks;
She never looked so we'll, 1 think, as
in her winter bonnet
Her last new party frock was pink,
with fourteen frills upon it.
Oh, Geraldine Jemima Jane!
My heart Is broken nigh in twain.
/ never shall forget that day, my
tears they fairly pelted,
l left her sitting by the fire, and came
and found her melted
III ever keep her mem'ry green, /
surely can't do less,
Her epitaph may still be seen in
mustard and in cress.
Oh, Geraldine Jemima Jane!
l know I'll never smile again.

THE NEW CONVERTS.

Now that the season of special
meetings is over, what about the
new converts? Are we going to
meet them carelessly from time to
time, treating them as if they should
work out their own salvation
entirely unaided?
Can we pray for them sincerely
and consistently, without making an
effort to help them along in the up
ward wayP
At u next revival season many
of us will remark upon the large
number who have b~ackslidden dur
ing the year.
Those cold in the service" seem to
forget how strange and new every
thing is so the convert. How one
perplexity after another is enooun-
tered to the extent of b~ewilderment
at times.
Small wonder the newborn child
of God gets discouraged and wan
ders sadly away when left to his own
devices and the designs of the evil
one.
How can we do less than express
our sincere desire for the spiritual
welfare of the converts, and make it
our duty TO cheer and encourage
them on the way? May God help
us to be helpful to each other u.

POLITE CH1IDREN.

To be polite and natural at the
same time, SO that the poIiteness
will be second nature-that is what
every parent desires to see in her
child. Harper's Bazaar has some
good counsel to offer on this subject =:
A mother was lamenting the fact
that her children were rude to other
little girls and boys who came in to
play them. "They mortify me dread
fully she planned. "They treat
their guests as they treat n an
other, and not al company"
An elderly relative who CHANGED to
be present askt:
"And why not? You wish them
to be natural, do you not?".
"Why, yes" was the hesitating
anawer, CT suppose So. But they
must be polite, must they notp''
Certainly, said the frank rela-
tive. "They should be both natural
and polite. To be rude should be the
unnatural thing. From the first
they should have been taught to be
as polite TO one another as they
would be to outsiders"
The weary mother sighed help
lessly. She had not trained her
children in that way. Few mothers
do. In too many homes brothers
and sisters, from babyhood up to the
time they have reached mans and
woman's estate, feel that to one an
other they may speak as rudely
and b~rusquely as they like. Natur-
ally, if they treat other children
with courtesy it is with a forced
courtesy, and sits i'll upon them. In
one household the parents insist
that the small people shall be cour-
teous to nj another. "Do this"
"Give me that" eyes - "Nol" are
forbidden forms of speech. A request
must always be preceded by a
"Please," and a favor received with
a "Thank you," while even the
tiniest of the BARNS remembers to
lisp you're welcome" to the sister
or brother who has thanked him.
Eyes, Harry" ono, Charlie" have
become as much habits of speech
with these little ones as are the
brusque alternatives and negatives
used in many nurseries. And the
mother of these boys and girls has
seldom cause to blush because of her
children's rudeness to outsiders.

keep a restless child quiet, while his
sash was tied and his curls brushed,
by threats Of giving him away if he
did not keep quiet. Many children
are born afraid, butmore are trained
in fears by cruel threats and abom.
Unable stories. You are afraid of
scarlet fever and diphtheria for your
little ones but these are not more
deadly dangers than the constant lit
tie rights that cause tremor, pallor
and quivering lips.
When your child is frightened, it's
life is diminished it's heart is weak
ened, it's appetite is decreased, it's
pulse is quiokened, and it's tempera-
ture lowered. To decrease the fears,
of the children in every household in
America would lower the death rate.
1t is in the parents power to save
the child from most of these fears.
Your children have a sacred right to
your sympathy. If they are afraid
of the dark, go with them, holding
them in your arms or by the hand,
proving to them that there is nothing
in the dark room that is not there in
the daytime. Divert their minds by
amusing stories. I know a mother
who, having been terrified in her
own childhood, has never been able
to overcome her nervous panics
when in a dark room but she deter
mined her child should never suffer.
Although he was sorupulously guard
ed from ordinary assaults upon his
courage, he passed through a phase
of dream fears when about 4 years
old. During this period his parents
diverted his mind, holding his hand
many a night, dispelling the horr1d
visions with pleasant stories and
constant assurances that, as he grew
TO be older and larger, he would
leave these troublesome things be-
hind him. At the age of 6 he goes
to bed in strange rooms, if away
from home ; goes to sleep every night
in a dark roo without company,
and shows no sign of anything but
curiosity about unusual sounds OF
sights. It sometimes happens that
ven prayers are injudiciously word
ed and the thought of guardian
angels and Gods omnipresence can
not be given to every child until he
has had deep and tender feelings of
human love and sympathy. It
should be the joy of every parent TO
stand for a time as Gods vicegerent
in the home-the love jnnaruate
which casts out fear.-Sarah 3.
Wiltse.

DON'T woRRY-TRY IT THIS WEEK.

Let no day pass without personal
secret communication with God.
Begin each day by taking counsel
from the Word of God, if but one
verse while you are dressing.
Put away all bitter feelings and
brooding over Sights or wrongs, no
matter from whom received.
Have on your heart some person
or cause for which you r pleading
Gods blessings each day.
Let no opportunity pass without
owning your Saviour before others,
and modestly urging all TO accept his
service.
Let no opportunity pass TO say a
kind word, do some kind deed, or
at least smile upon those you meet.
Do this, not affectedly, but sincerely
as unto the Lord.
Guard we'll the door of your lips,
that no unchaste word, jest, or story,
no SANDER or cutting remarks, no
irreverent or untruthful statement,
shall pass out.
Remember each day that Christ
will surely come, suddenly come,
quickly come; and, it may be, this
day will determine how his coming
will find us, as it must TO thousands.

CHILDREN's FEARS.

There is an old story of a fearful
dragon that lived near a city, having
power to make treaties with men by
which he obtained his food from
them, even the king not daring to
refuse the monster anything he de-
manded. At first he only asked to
be fed with sheep and cattle but,
when he saw how readily the rulers
granted all his requests, and how
afraid every man was who brought
his food, he grew o and more
insolent and terrible in his looks and
acts, and finally declared he would
eat nothing but children. The peo-
pie we're Mortified, but helpless for
the creature vowed he would destroy
the whole city unless a little child
was brought him every morning. A
council was held, and an agreement
made that lots should be cast every
day, and every household should
abide by the, lot. Imagine the sor-
row of the mothers, the terror of the
children The city was oon devas-
tated. The bones of the poor little
innocents were strewn by the road
side.
These old legends grow in horror
of detail ; and this one reaches it's
climax when the lot falls upon the
kings little daughter, who is not
only the pet of the royal household,
bat the darling of the whole king
dom. And, although mothers in the
bitterness of their own grief demand
that the royal house shall share their
af1iction, the story brings Saint
George to the reseu of the maiden,
and the dragon is slain.
Now in every city of the world
and in every rural district there is
an enemy to the children IS destruc-
tive to fulness of life and perfection
of happiness as was this dragon. If
this enemy were caught and Gagged
in some city, even timid women
would fall upon him and kill him ;
but, not knowing his deadly enmity
to the children, he is harbored in
most houses, sometimes being con-
sidered a help in the government of
the little ones.
Every mother who permits nurse
or servant to brighten her child into
obedience by hints or threats of the
bogy-man, or any of his allies, is
guilty of bringing a monster into
her own house more terrible than
any dragon of the legends. Many
will deny that eve a half educated
woman will commit such crimes
but I have seen a mother herself

WHAT CAME OF HAVING NO BUTTER FOB
BREAKFAST.

"When I was a boy" said General
Grant, "my mother one morning
found herself without butter for
breakfast, and sent me to borrow
some from a neighbor. Going into
the house without knocking, I over
heard a letter read from the son of q
neighbor who was then et West
Point, stating that he had failed in
examination, and was coming home.
I got the butter, took it home, and,
without waiting for breakfast, ran
TO the Office of the Congressman for
our district.
"'Mr. Hammer 1 said, will you
appoint me TO West Point?'
"'No; Davis is there, and has
three years to serve
"'But suppose he should fail-will
you send me?'
'Mr. Hammer laughed. If he
don't go through, it is NO use for
you to try, Uly.'
"'Promise me you will give me
the chance, Mr. Hammer, anyhow
"Mr. Hammer promised. The next
day the defeated lad came home, and
the Congressman, laughing at my
sharpness, gave me the appointment.
Now" said Grant, cit was my
mothers being without butter that
made me general and president"
But he was mistaken. 1t was his
own shrewdness TO see the chance,
and the promptness to seize it that
urged him upward.
AS a boy at home, young Grant
was distinguished for -fearlessness,
slowness, and certainty of compre-
hension, and a certain invincible
pertinacity of will. AS a school boy,
says his biographer, she never whis-
pered, or lied, or swore, or ~quarreled.
He insisted on solving all mathe
NAUTICAL problems himself. He stood
squarely upon his own knowledge OF
things, without ~resorting to trick or
verbal memory. He had an unusual
balance of character, and good native
Judgment. When twelve years old,
in the absence of the lumbermen
who were TO help him, he loaded a
g with heavy logs by his own
mechanical ingenuity in the applica-
ton of horse power. At thirteen he
drove a team six hundred miles
across country, and arrived in
safety.
He was ~resolute and unafraid al
ways a boy to be trusted and counted
upon-sturdy and capable of hard
knocks. If he said q can do that,
he not merely meant that he would
try to do it, but that he had thought
his a to the successful end of the
undertaking. He was an unusually
determined boy, and as a man he did
not begin ON anything till he under
stood it, and when he began he stuck
to it till it was accomplished.-From
winning Out" by Orison SWEET
Marden.
