A Day i'm a Harem.
A very digni6ed and apparently cul-

in a modest tone asked the clerk for "A

calm, but the title she gave the desired
book somewhat disconnected him. Dime
novels and rainbow literature came be-
fore his mind, but he could not place any

the lady to repeat, and repeat she did.

what she wanted. On table of fiction

LESSON THOUGHTS.
Show the influence good men have had
in the world: 1. Moses; 2. David; 8.
Elijah; 4. Paul; 5. Luther; 6. Washing
ton; 7. Lincoln.
Our accountability extends even to the
influence we exert unconsciously upon
those about us; for it allresults from our
behavior before them-"No man liveth
to himself"
All Christians should seek to increase
their influence as much as possible. God
has put lis here to be lights in the world,
and we should try to shine brightly for
him.
SELECTIONS.
Go make thy garden as fair as thou canst,
Thou workest never alone,
Perchance he whose plot is next to thine
Will see it and mend his own.
We see not in this lite the end OF human
actions; their influence never dies. In
overwhelming circles it reaches beyond
the grave. .. Every morning, when
we go forth, we lay the moulding hand
on our destiny and every evening, when
we have done, we have lett a deathless
impress upon our character. We touch
not a wire, but vibrates in eternity;
arouse not a voice but reports at the
throne of God.
No man or woman Cf the humblest
class can really be strong, gentle, pure,
and good, without the world being bet.
ter for it, without somebody being helped
and comforted by the very existence OF
that goodness.
Thou must be true to thyself,
If thou the truth wouldst teach
Thy soul must overflow, if thou
Another's soul would reach
1t needs the overflow of heart
To give the lips full speech.
Think truly, and thy thoughts
Shall the worlds famine feed;
Speak truly, and each word of thine
Shall be fruitful seed;
Live truly and thy life shall be
A great and noble creed.
SUGGESTED HYMNS.
Brightly CLEANS our banner.
Standing bv purpose true.
Stand up stand up for Jesus.
for heart to praise my God.
Fading away like the stars of the morning.
Am l a soldier of the cross.

Decreasing Prolihcacy..

T. M. McNeal: Judicious selection is
perhaps more potent than any other
factor in modifying and improving the
type Of our domestic animals. BY Its
proper exercise men have been. enabled
to change almost any type Of animal
they pleased, even to- the mutilation OF
the animal itself. The great deficiency
in our ancestral hog. was his. inability
to develop fine form and great size at
an early age. In the hustle and hustle
Of modern life, men. could. not afford
to wait two or two and a half years for
the maturity of his hog, and nine to
fifteen months became the Limit In our
pure breeds. Each. with a. fixed type
in his mind, began. to select until the
shape of the ham, the curve Of the
back, the cut Of the joWl, the size and
setting of the ear, the color Of the hair,
the number and position of the spots,
all becoming fixed through judicioua
selection; but while all this was going
on, how little attention was paid to the
number Of pigs in; the litter even far
ther than this, how often has the great
number of ths. litter been an objection
to the breeder. How many breeders
will remember the time when thay
were looking to showing the six
months pig at the fair, they have Sc
lecsed their very best mothers, bred
them and then hoped that they might
produce but four or five pigs, ii order
that the whole powers Of maternity
might be concentrated on few speci-
mems OF the highest type. Thus by
ontinuously ignoring or absolutely
|disearding the prolific faculty, you
have allowed to slip away or driven OF
The propensity which you now wish
to reclaim.

\
This blissful condition continued
for six months or a year. Then came
the usual uncertainties, suspicious and
jealousies that SO frequently disturb
loves young dream and bring despair
to youthful lovers.
It was this way: Our first lieuten-
ant was a dashing young officer, as
fearless as a young lion and SO hand
some that the privates soon dubbed
him Master Pretty boy. We were
cleaning our muskets one day, prepar-
atory to the morroW's fight, when Mas
ter Prettyboy came strolling along and
paused near US, saying to jim, Lucy's
brother: Il received charming letter
from your sister today. She sent her
love to you two boys and asked me to
tell her how far you both ran at the
first fight
That night went to Jim and asked
him if the first lieutenant and his sister
had long been friends. E5G
- They played together when ba-
bies,' he answered. Sis thinks heap
of him. IS. Id 81
THAT was enough. From that hour
my visions Of sweet Lucy were blur
red with the mist of insincerity and
faithfulness. To be sure, we were not
engaged, but. we understood, and our
eyes had asked and answered the ques-
lions which our lips were forbidden to
speak.
"My love-life-as Ibsen calls it-died
one day when the first lieutenant,
beaming and smiling, hailed Lucy s
brother with Congratulate me, old
boy; she says she'll have me- ..'....
"Well, the war ended-as you all have
perhaps heard ere this, although some
Of our mossbacks here in the noun
tains refuse to believe it. When Lee
surrendered T was the superior officer
of the handsome first lieutenant, whom
hated and envied with equal passion.
/ came out of the army with a cruel
wound in my shoulder, and it was
months before came back to this part
of the country, where I had found
and loved and won my pretty Lucy.
1.-THE old-time scenes and associations
(although the war had brought many
grievous changes) seemed to open my
emotions anew, and one Sunday I de-
cided to go to her.
II had gone perhaps half the way
when I came to a switch on which
stood a dilapidated locomotive. An
