ALWAYS CHEERFUL.

Browns cheerfulness was a
source of wonder and admiration
to his friends, according to the
Ladies' Home Journal. Either
his religion or his philosophy
taught him to accept everything
as a wise dispesation. But then
he had a large share of worldly
goods, his friends argued, and
nothing but adversely would
shake his faith.
Therefore when a promising
crop was washed away by flood
the neighbors were much aston
ished to hear him say: Its all
for the best. was blessed with
an overabundance last year.
In the winter his house was
burned to the ground. To his
neighbours solicitations he calmly
responded, "The house never
suited US anyway, so it is all for
the BEST"
Other calamities befell Brown,
but still he refused to be disheart-
ened.
The climax came when he was
in a railroad accident. Both feet
were so badly crushed that am
putation was necessary.
Sympathetic friends gathered
from all quarters. They dreaded
to hear the lamentations they
were sure would greet them, for
even Brown could hardly be ex-
pected to pass this lightly by.

MY CHILDHOOD'S HOME.

How dear to me is my childhood's home
And the Russell county hills
Where l roamed in childhood's happy
hours
And plucked the Springtime's earliest
flowers,
That grew meath the wildwood's leafy
bowers,
Beside the sparkling rills.
l remember the place where we used to
play
Beneath the old oaks shade;
We hung in its branches a great high
swing.
With laughter we made all the old
woods ring,
We were happy as the birds in Spring,
AS in our glee we played.
Oh vanished pleasures Happy days.
Time can never efface
The memory of our childish joys,
And the mother who loved her girls
and boys
Who listened alike to our griefs and
joys,
Sitting round the old fire place.
1, in fancy, think l see her now
The Bible on her knee.
We sing again those sacred airs,
can hear my dear old fathers pray
And the kind words that were spoken
there,
Seem floating back to me.
We gave no thoughts to the future then;
Our hearts were free from care.
Deserted now is that old fireside,
For Times swift stream with its
whirling tide
Has drifted the children far and wide
Who used to gather there.
And to Eternity's far shore
Dear old father and mothers gone,
And silence reigns over ALL.
Where once the children smerry calls
Went echoing loudly over it all,
The old farm isnow alone.
Now from the busy cares of life,
, love to steal away,
And thlnk of that old farm where its
streams
Are dancing in the suns bright
beams,
And feed my fancy with fond dreams
Of youths bright summer days.
The memory of that dear old home
Has filled my heart with pain,
would give the world to turn life's
tide
And backward to my childhood glide,
And sit once more by the old freside
And see the dear ones again.

HAPPY MARRIAGES.

If marriage meant the wedding
of a saint and an angel there
would be no problems to solve, no
projections to attain, no progress
to make. This may be why there
are no marriages in heaven.
On earth it is different. Hus-
band and wife are strongly human.
No matter how lovingly united or
how sweet their accord, they new
er have the same temperaments,
tendencies or tastes.
Their needs are different, their
manner of looking at things is not
identical and in varying ways
their Municipalities asserts them
selves. At any critical moment if
both express at the same time a
desire to defer to the others taste
the result is foreordained hap
piness. This makes matrimony
not merely union, but unison and
unity.
The spirit of compromise does
not mean a continuous perform
ance in the way Of self surrender
and self sacrifice; it does not
mean ceasing to be a voice and
becoming an echo; it does not i'm
ply or justify the loss of individu-
atty. 1t means simply the in
stinctive recognition of the best
way out of a difficulty, the quick
est lacking to avoid a collision,
the kindly view of tolerance in the
presence of weakness and errors
of another, the courage to meet
an explanation half way, the gen
erossity to be first to apologize
for a discord, the largeness of
mind that does not fear a sacri-
flee of dignity in surrendering in
in the interests of the highest
harmony of the two rather than
the personal vanity. -Delineator.
