Jov,s Amplitude.

Joy is for all men. It does not des pend on circumstance or condition; if it did, 1t could only be for the few. It is not the fruit of good luck, or of fortune, or even of outward success, which all men cannot have. It Is of the soul, or the souls character; it Is the wealth, of the souls own being, when it is filled with the spirit of Je- sus, which is the spirit of eternal love. Horace Bushnell.

the eccentricity of the son. he drove
over to the farm. He found her con-
fined to her bed. The son was out on
the farm. She was not in immedi-
ate danger. but if she were not proper
~ cared for there might serious compli-
cations develop. she was told by the
physician. When the son returned
from the field he found that there had
been a visitor. He was told that it
was the doctor. So he nailed a sign
over the door. The sign was addressed
to the doctor. The doctor came the
next day He saw the sign. 1t told
him not to bother about the sick wo-
man; that when she needed him she
would send for him. This was the
work of the son, the doctor knew, and
accordingly he drove away-and did not
go back to the house again. The doc
tor reported the matter to his friends
in the village. He did not care for
the fee but he did not want to see the
old lady suffering. There was no one
who dared so to the house and take
the man to task for neglecting his
mother. If anyone had done so there
might have been a tragedy. The county
authorities were notified. and they
stated that before they had any aII-
.thority to act there would have to be
a complaint entered in the regular
manner. Days passed and no word
came from the sick bed. Finally one
day neiGhbor met the son at the
fence. He was asked about his moth
er. The son said she was we'll again.
His word was taken for ii. The man
doubtless is off mentally, and it is
understood an inquiry into his sanity
will be petitioncd for in the county
court.
