SEEMED APPROPRIATE TO HER
Wife of Sick Man Thought She Had Reason for Appealing to Looo-

One day last winter a feeble Irish woman called upon us for aid. The case sounded urgent, so I went with her at once. Everything was just as she had stated. Her husband was very ill. she was too old and feeble to work, their children were dead, there was no fire and their only food was bread which their neighbors, al most as poor as they, had given them. I asked her why she had not come to us before and she replied that she had appealed to the church and to several individuals without success.

"FAlTH" ALL THAT WAS LEFT
Symbols of Hope" and "Charity" Had Got Away from Unfortunate Sun
 day School Scholar.

A young Philadelphia Sunday school teacher tells this story of the result of an attempted application of the principles of economies:
 For some time she had endeavored to impress upon the minds of one of her charges the names of the three qualities, faith, hope, and charity. One Sunday she presented the pupil of the poor memory with three new shining coins, penny, a f1ve-cent piece, and dime.
 "The penny" she said, represents faith, the five-cent piece hope, and the dime charity. Keep these coins and every time you look at them think of what they stand for"
 The Sunday following the teacher reviewed the lesson of the week be- fore, and called upon the holder of the coins to produce them and give their names in proper sequence. The youngster shuffled from one leg to the other, stammered, blushed and seemed altogether overcome with mortified tion. Finally he burst out with:
 Please, Miss Fanny, I ain't got nuthin' left but faith. Baby swal- lered hope, and mamma took charity and bought ten cents worth of meat ter make hamburg steak out uv."
