THREE LESSONS.

There are three lessons I would write,
Three words as with a golden pen,
In tracings of eternal light
Upon the hearts of men.
Have hope Though clouds environ
round
And gladness hides her face in
scOrn,
Put thou the shadow from thy
brow
No night but has it's morn.
Have faith Where'er thy bark is
driven
The calm's disport, the tempest's
mirth-
Know this: God rules the hosts of
heaven,
The inhabitants of earth.
Have love Not love alone for one,
But man as man thy brother call,
And scatter, like the circling sun,
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these word upon thy
soul
Hope, faith, and love-and thou
shalt find
Strength when life's surges maddest
roll,
Light when thou else vert blind.
Schiller.

ITEMS FOR MOTHERS.

Spoiled children are not the chill
dren of self-sacrifice, but of selfish
ness and cowardice-the selfishness
which seeks the easiest way the
cOwardice which shrinks facing dan
gers thereby engendered.
Never give up to children if they
are in the wrong; do not rob them
of a memory that their mother and
father we're always true to their
principles.
Love your children and they will
love you in spite of all your short
comings keep faith with them and
they will keep faith with you; treat
them courteously and they will be
courteous maintain high ideals and
they will follow them make them
the centre of your life and they will
make you the centre of their lives

EVERYDAY INCIDENTS.

81 wonder why my little boy does
pound the furniture so don't dare
to let him go into the parlor at all,
he is so rough" says one mother.
Just then baby falls down and cries.
Mother runs to the rescue.
"Did the naughty old chair bump
baby's precious head? Well, mall
pound the bad old chair for hurting
her baby" Thump, thump, on the
chair. "Was it the table leg that
hurt him? Too bad-naughty old
table leg shall be whipped. Rap,
rap on the table leg.
How very strange that baby boy
should pound the furniture
Baby was not lacking in intelli-
gence or initiative faculty. He could
learn. The idea of instant and vio-
lent revenge upon anything that
gave him pain was firmly implanted
in his infant mind by his loving
mother.
Presently when little sister hurt
him, accidentally in her play, up
came the chubby boot, and cruelty
kicked her gentle face, when she
bent to soothe him, while she was
saying that she was sorry, and did
not mean to hurt him.
Mother spanked the baby boy real
hard for kicking sister, but he was
good scholar-he had learned what
she taught him-and he became an
infant terror.
The furniture was revarnished,
but alas for the marred soul! Who
was to blame? New Crusade.

THE ANIMATED STUMP: A SOUTHERN
LEGEND.

There was a farmer, so I've heard
Perhaps his name was GRAY;
Who owned a handsome melon patch,
From home not far away.
But thieves, alas loved melons too
This raised the the farmer s wrath !;
One eve at dusk he seized his gun
And started down the path.
He reached the field with loaded gun,
Then took his post and said:
eff any thieves come now, guess,
They II get a dose of lead"
But finally he dropped to sleep,
Twas still no one to speak,
The spirit,-it indeed was strong,
But flesh is very weak.
Now Sambo, once the farmers slave,
Desired another treat
Not knowing that the melons lay,
On watchman Gray's new beat.
Sam reached the patch; melon
found,
Then thumped it on the rind-
''Yas, sab, she ripe - he said aloud,
"Dis millions mighty fine -
"But uh good Lord got no knife
Just like me, toO-a gump -
But Sam then looked around and said
He'd substitute a stump.
He soon found one-so he supposed
CThe night was dark you know
He noticed not a snoring sound
But aimed mighty blow.
Great Scott The stump rose up and
ran
Could it be made of wood?
Murder Murder ''it shouted loud
''I'm murdered in cold blood -
1t leaped a great high ten-rail fence
That happened to be there,
Then darted down the public road
Like lightning through the air.
But Sambo was now far away:
Not one glance back he cast
He saw the stumps jump up at him
And Satan following fast!
And when he reached the farmers
fence,
He leaped six feet in air,
He thought he felt old Satan spear
His heart almost stopped there.
A dog essayed to catch Sambo-
Alas his efforts vain
For every yard poor dOggie ran
Sambo one foot would gain
And when Sam reached his own
homes door
He leaped the old yard gate
His eyes-he thought, six inches
wide
His hair-was standing straight!
When Gray reached Doctor Cald
wells home
To have his "skull set right"
The news came there that SambO had
Broke "two spare ribs that night. "

OPPORTUNITIES.

In one of the Greek cities there
stood, long ago, a statue. Every
trace of it has vanished now, as is
the case with most of those old
masterpieces e; but there is still in ex-
istence an epigram which gives US
an excellent description of it, and as
we read the words we can discover
the lesson which those wise old
Greeks meant that the statute should
teach to every passer- by.
The epigram is in the form of a
conversation between a traveller and
the statute.
"what is thy name, o statute?"
81 am called Opportunity.
''Who made thee?"
"Lysippus.
"Why art thou standing on thy
toes?'
"To show that I stay but mo,
ment."
.sWhy hast wings on thy feet?"
.'To show how quickly I pass by. "
But why is thy hair so long on
thy forehead?"
THAT men may seize me when
they meet me. -
"why, then, is thy head so bald
behind?"
sTo show that when 1 have once
passed, cannot be caught
We do not see statues standing on
the highways to remind US of our
opportunities for doing good and be-
ing Of service to others but we know
that they come to US. They are ours
but for a moment. If we let them
pass. they are gone forever.-Ex.

ONLY HALF EDUCATED.

Education should not set US apart
from the common things of life. The
boys and girls who take it for granted
that their school training is to unfit
them to be of use at home, need a
new set of ideals before they go any
further.
A boy who is good in mathematics
aut cannot tell how many yards of
garpeting will be needed to cover the
parlOr, or how much wood is in the
pile in the shed, has a serious defect
N his education. Education goes
further than these practical matters,
but it begins with them, and the peo-
pie who are helpless in the presence
OF everyday needs, are only half
educated.-Young Peoples Weekly.

WOman'S Work.
HYGIENE OF THE BED.

The bed is the place where we
spend about one third of our lives.
A woman who has reached sixty has
spent twenty in bed. Many bad
habits and bad positions are formed
during sleep. Some persons assume
an attitude which cramps the chest
so that respiration is not full and
complete. The shoulders should not
be drawn forward or the arms folded
| tightly over the chest. A narrow
bed is preferable for growing girls,
so they will not have room to sprawl
over large space, nor to assume a
dozen grotesque shapes. The pillow
should be small and hard. A large,
soft pillow should not be tolerated
by any girl who desired to have her
head we'll set on her shoulders.
The bed clothing should be light
but warm, of such a nature as to
allow the air to pass through it
freely. If the air in a bed, which
soon becomes saturated with the
perspiration from our bodies, does
not pass off, it makes US uneasy and
restless, and sound sleep is impos-
sible.
Some women say they can sleep
only on one side. If so, then there
must be something wrong with
them. One side is probably not
evenly developed with the other. A
healthy woman or girl can sleep, and
should sleep, on one side and then on
the other, even changing unoon-
sciously in the night. Some women
twist and comfort their faces during
sleep, and thus form wrinkles which
continue during their waking hours.
The reasons for this are various.
Indigestible food in the stomach is
one cause. Going to bed in a de-
pressed state of mind causes the
corners of the mouth to be drawn
down and gives a sad expression. In
going to sleep, think of pleasant
things, of your many blessings, the
goodness of God, of the joys of life,
through blessings of home, friends,
parents or children. Under no cir
cumstances let the sun go down on
your wrath, or on any other evil
thought. If you have enemies, for
give them, love them. Love is the
great beautifier of the faces of
women, and hateful and evil
thoughts act contrariwise.-Jou
of Hygiene.
