The Iron Cross.

More than seventy years ago the
King Of Prussia, Frederick Will
liam III, was carrying OH cxpcn-
sive wars. lie was trying to
strengthen his country and make 4
great nation of the Prussian peo-
pie, and he had not money enough
10 accomplish his plans. What
should lie doi II he stopped
where he was, the country )uld
be ovcrrun by the enemy al that
would mean terrible distress for
everybody. lie therefore asked
the women or Prussia, as many Of
them as wanted TO help the king, to
bring their jewelry Of gold and sill
yer to be melted down into money
for the use Of their country.
Many women brought all the
jcwclry they had, and for such
ornaments Of gold or silver they
received, in exchange, an orna-
mcnt Of bronze or iron, precisely
like lhe gold or silver ones, as
token of the kings gratitude.
These iron and bronze ornaments
all bore the inscription: Il gave
gold for iron, 1892 These o:na-
mcnts became more highly priced
than the gold or silver ones had
been, for they were a proof that the
women had given up something for
their king. 1t became very un-
fashionable to wear any jewelry.
SO the order of the Iron Cross grew
up, whose members wear no orna-
ncnt except cross Of iron OH the
breast, and give all their supernu-
Gus money 10 the service Of their
fcllowmcn.

A Pure Home.

There is nothing OH earth for
which one ought to be more thank
ful than for having been brought
up i'll a pure home. Such home
may be deficient in mere material
comforts, but it has in it the forces
on which great characters are nur-
tured. One Of Our noblcst friends
once said: II was the son of poor
parents, and from my youth up
was injured to Sclf-dcnial and hard.
ship; but do not remember ever
to have heard a word from the lips
Of either my father or my mother
that was not as chaste as snow"
Better such recollection as that
than an inheritance of untold
wealthl--Lutheran World.

Faithful Bruno.
HN FRANCES II. PECK

Yes, Edith WAS missing, and
great WAS the constcrnatiou in the
Lame family. Brother George
avcrrcd solemnly that Edic had
been in the backyard playing with
Bruno, the St. Bernard dog, only n
haif-hour ago. Little Emma was
crying for her twin sister, and Mr..
and Mrs. Lane wore troubled faces :;
for Edic had never been away
alone before.
Mr.. Lane hurricdly left the
house, and a half-hour afterwards
detectives and spies were all over
The city. About midnight that
evening, a loud peal came at the
door-bcll, and, on its being an
swcred, a policeman stepped into
the hall, bearing in his arms the
lost Edic.
The policcman's whole form was
trembling, and something like
water stood in his honest blue eyes.
He stepped back, and pointed to
the liiclcss form Of Bruno. The
noble dog had died in saving his
little mistress life, as they after
wards found out. Edith had wan
dcrcd away, and had been caught
by rough man, who, not noticing
the dog, had rushed away. Bruno
seized Edic's skirt, and pulled her
from the mans arms. He only
stopped to plunge his foot at the
dogs head. 1t took effect, and the
brave dog fell dead by the side of
the sobbing child. She was then
discovered by detective, who
managed to get both her and the
dog home. Mr.. and Mrs. Lane
were deeply moved, and l think, if
you visited them now, they would
show you the skin Of the faithful
Bruno.

Here's A Song, Comrades All.
BY MARGARET ENTINGE.

BY MARGARET EYTINGE.
Here's a song, comrades all, for the flag
Of our nation,
That undimmed by old Time, still re-
splendently shows
The colors that met at its grand consccra-
ton,
The gifts of the bluebcll, the lilly and
rose;
And whose stars have grown greater i'll
number and lustcr
Since first they were lighted by lib
crty's hand,
And now clinging closely in beautiful
cluster.
Shed their light far andwidc over ocean
and land.
Here's a song, comrades all, for the flag
ever ready
TO shelter the wand'rer who shelter no
more
Can find i'll the Old World--thc flag al.
ways steady
III welcome to those who are seeking
our shore;
The flag that rcjoiccs when Peace fingers
near us,
But never in war shrinks from might
lest foe;
The flag that is waiting to bless and to
cheer us
With thoughts Of orr sunny home
where'er we go.
Here's song, comrades ALL, for the flah
that floats DER us,
The sign Of country prosperity blest
Come join WITH will in fine, rousing
chorus.
From the North and the South, from
tl!G East and the West.
Hurrahl for the staff that so firmly up
holds it
Through fercest Of tempests with
strength ever new;
Hurrah once again for the breeze that
unfolds it,
And hip! hip! hurrah! for the red, white
and blue.

From tho "Ram's Horn"

Nobody looks for good fruit on a
bad tree.
Nothing can make Our JOY full
but the JOY Of Christ.
Christ is always on trial in a
Christian mothers life.
The only way we can move with
out help from Cod is downward.
Gods power is all against the
man who is not willing to do right.
Christ was crucificd by men who
considered themselves holicr than
he.
If anybody has reason to be hap
py all the year round it is the
Christian.
The day is surely coming when
they that hate the righteous shall
be desolatc.
God will not accept anything
from us, the giving of which will
not be for Our good.
AS long as the devil remains un-
chained the true soldier of the cross
will have to fight.
There are many people who
think that the way to serve the
Lord is to do it with the mouth,

For the Boys.

Never treat another boys sister
better than your own.
Never lay aside your manners
when you take of your fine clothes.
Never make fun Of old age, no
matter how dccrcpit or evil it may
be. Gods hand rests lovingly on
the aged.
Never quarrel. When your tongue
gets unruly lock it in: if need be,
bite it. Never suffer it to adver-
tise your bad temper.
Never be cruel. You have no
right to hurt even fly nccdlcssly.
Cruelty is the trait Of a bully !;
kindness the mark of a gentleman.
Never make comrades of boys
who arc continually doing and say
ing evil things. A boy, as a man,
is known by the company he keeps.
Never cheat or be unfair in your
play. Cheating is contemplate
anywhere at any age. Your play
should strengthen not weaken your
character.
Never lie. Even white lies leave
black spots on the character. What
is your opinion Of liar? DO you
wish other people to have like
opinion Of yoursclf'
Never hesitate to say no when
asked TO do a wrong, but say no
so distinctly that no one can I'M
dcrstand you to mean yes.
Never make sport Of those mis-
crablc crcaturcs-a drunken man
or woman. They are wrecks ; but
God alone knows the stress of the
storm which drove them upon the
breakers. Weep rather than laugh.
4
Never be unkind to your faM., i
