SECRET OF HAPPINESS.

It is a great and blessed secret,
and one which everybody ought to
learn, to know how to do without
things. Are you puzzled to know
which article to buy?" said a gentle
man to his neighbor, who was ad-
miring the Christmas goods in a
store window. NO" said the neigh
means; 81 was just thinking how
many beautiful things there are in
this great store that do not actual
ly need, and that l can easily do
Without What a wise reflection
that was! If we could all face the
store window, including all other
material attractions, in the spirit of
that persuasion, we would each be
that embodiment of godly content
ment which is great gain. A mans
happiness does not depend upon
what he possesses, but upon what he
is in himself. AS a man thinketh
in his heart, so he is. Minor priva-
tons count for naught in life hid
with Christ in God. We really can
not have all the things we want, as
even some rich men have discovered
There are some things on the tenn
poral plane of life that are very de-
sirable, and which we feel sure would
add to our comfort and usefulness
but we simply cannot afford to want
them, much less get them. Our
trouble is that we want more than
we need, and sometimes worry be-
cause we cannot get it.-Religious

POLLY'S PRESENT.

Poor little Polly! Her eight years
Of life had been hard ones, for while
her mother earned their bread by do
ing washing and ironing, she, too,
worked from sun to sun tending the
babies, running errands and keeping
the one small room called home"
as neat as possible.
Past their humble door, standing
wide open these fine, bright days,
went hundreds Of children to the big
public school right on the next cor
ner, and it was Polly's favorite
amusement to watch them go by.
How nice most of them looked-the
little girls in fresh bingham dresses
and white aprons-but, ali, the thing
that charmed her most was the big,
standing-up bow Of bright ribbon
each wore on the top of their pretty
heads! Polly, herself, had never

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE

Nov count<'em," said Archie, roll
ing out the pretty rosy apples on the
grass. What beauties!"
Rob, sitting on the lowest limb of
the apple-tree where it crossed the
fence, looked down on the boys be-
low. ''I'll see how many I have, too,
and then We'll divide even," he told
them. isn't it good that it's such a
great full branch that comes over
our side fthe fence? I asked Mr..
Gray whether we could have all the
apples that fell on our lot, and he
just laughed, and said we didn't have
to wait till they fell; all that grew on
our side were ours. Look out, now,
I'm going to jump"
Rob had his hat full of the yellow
and rosy balls, and he poured them
out with the others. "Just eight for
each of u.s. he said, and the boys be-
gan gathering them up. Just then
they heard little cough that sound
ed as il some one wanted to be no
ticed, but didn't quite like to speak,
and down at the other corner of the
fence they saw pair of brown eyes
looking through at them.

UGH" The deaconess's face was
study in disgust. Did you ever
taste such butter? It's simple un-
speakable. UNBEATABLE. unsmellable!
And that farmer is miles away by this
time, and there's not another scrap
of butter in the whole house. What
shall we do for dinner? Sixty raven
Gus boys to feed, the nearest farm
house two miles away-and no assur-
ance that l could get any butter if l
should go there-and dinner due in
half an hour! Who says the trials of
deaconess are not legion?"
You poor DEAR" sympathized her
visitor; what will you do about it,"
We'll, they'll just have to eat it,
or go without this noon. 1t surely is
rank, but perhaps some of them can
choke it down."
However, despite her hopeful
words, it was with deep misgivings
that she saw the sixty hungry boys
file in, and restraining themselves
with difficulty during the blessing,

sion. Conversation was, by common
consent, suspended during meals.
Gee, fellers," Mike Davis had re-
marked the first day. What's the
use O. talkin' when we kin eat?"
And the question being asked at
the dinner-table, no one took the
trouble to answer.
This noon, however, Miss Dolan,
the deaconess waited in suspense,
momentarily expecting an explosion.
But none came. Huge slabs of bread,
generously spread with the "unspeak-
able, UNBEATABLE, unsmellable" butter,
were rapidly disappearing down sixty
gan to draw a long breath, but was
interrupted in the midst of 1t. All,
at last it was coming! Murder would
out. And let one boy refuse to eat
would follow his example like sheep.
Oh, we'll, they wouldn't starve at any
rate-they had eaten enough already
to prevent that. So ran the deacon
ess's thoughts as she turned to listen
to the complaint. Full and clear it
came:
"Ain't this the grandest ever, fell
lers? This butter, mean. It's got
so much taste to it,"
And the "fellers" grinned silent
but blissful assent.-Deacones Advo-
