WISE WORDS.

Grace does not grow in gloom,
Most heartlessness is really needless
ness,
We give nothing until we give our
selves,
when money is biggest men are apt
to be smallest
It's delusion of the pit to mistake
pessimism for plety.
People get welded to sin through
flirting with the devil,
Many a reproach of others is but a
reflection Of ourselves.
The cultured are always most con-
soious Of their crudities,
The more one loves the good in all
the more he knows the God of all
knowledge raked up cannot compare
with the wisdom that comes down.
Some people never pray forgive us
our debts" except when the offering
is being taken.
Thanksgiving is good thing; tharks-
living is better. Self-cOntrol reaches
its highest discipline in the absolute
giving away Of the whole life to the
care ard service Of God,-Joseph Par
ker.
Yes, things are hard sometimes, and
we must live on and bear Gods will.
Because He makes a plan for us, and
there will be always something COM
ing, we cannot tell, day by day, what
may be, only He never forgets us or
leaves anything out,-Mrs. A. d. 7.

CHOICE OF EMBRoIDERIEs.

With all the exquisite emDroiderles
that have already appeared, and those
that are bobbing out by hundreds each
day, it's hard for the most practical
woman out not to lose her head over
them and buy them from their beauty
points alone, says the Washington
Times.
There are definite points to consider
about every sort of embroidery before
getting It. Those sheer, beautiful bits
that look almost like handwork are
all very well in their way, but most
Of them are impossible Tor should be-
for anything that will get hard wear
Yet ehere are some of these sheer em-
brolderies that are made with cVery
thread doubly protected, so that the
ugly, thick kinds can be occasionally
thrust aside, even for the sturdler sort
OF things.
Since those wonderful machines were
Invented, common sense and beauty
have seemed, in a measure, to join
forces.
In choosing embroideries, look first
at the material; some Of the sheerest
are less fllmsy than the apparently
sturdy. Look next at the edge; II the
stitching is too shallow, it's likely to
phil out soon. II the scallop is In deep
Doinss, it's bound TO curl up at the hrst
wearing.
Lace and embroidery combinations
the new combinations that the fash
tonable world is petting to death-are
myriad, from the tiny, wavy edges,
ending in a beading and finished with
the sheerest bit OF valenciennes fulled
on to the edge, to the heavy KINDS,

corrected some slight errors which &C.

The only time when Bannaker left
his home for any distance or length OF
time was when he served on the Wash

bers Of the commission were much
pleased with him, both personally and
professionally.
\ pleasant picture is left Of this

cooking his own food and doing his
own washing. He was fine looking
man in his habitual suit Of gray cloth,
and his broad brmmed beaver hat His

preserved in his own handwriting "lt

This worthy man had one grea, fail

came it,
While the funeral services Of Benja.

Some Incidents In the Life of This
Noted English Fop.
An English paper prints number Of
stories of Beau Brummel, some Of
which perhaps are not generally
known. At the Pavilion, at Brighton,
he ordered the footman to empty his
snuffbox into the fire because a bishop
had taken n pinch unaskcd. \ man
whom he had met at dinner offered
him n lift in his carriage to Lady Jer-
scy's ball. Thank you exceedingly"
said the Beau, but how are you to Go2
You would not like to get up behind,
and | cannot be seen IN the same car
riagc with you" He made no secret
OF his humble birth and when asked
about his parents declared that the
poor old creatures both cut their
throats years ago eating peas with a
knife" Once at least Brummel met
his match. He was playing hazard at
Brooks, when a we'll known alderman,
brewer. was one Of the party.
Come, Mashtub," said Brummel, who
was the caster, whats your setT'
Twenty five guineas," was the reply.
We'll then, have at the mayors pony"
said Brummel, who proceeded TO cast,
and by run of luck won the stake
twelve times I'm succession. PoCketing
the money, he thanked the brewer and
promised that In future he would drink
no ones porter but his Il wish. sir, "
replied the brewer that every other
blackguard in London would tell me
the same"
