Write the Old Folks at Home.
Write the old folks. child, in their homelier
away;
'Tis a duty you owe, a debt you should pay.
In the winter of life forget them not then,
But buoy them up with a stroke of the pen;
Life a rift in a cloud on a dark gloomy day,
It,�ivfU gladden tueir hearts and keep by-po
away.
What a thifabric-anon for childdren to frame
Sacrifice a few moments from the club or play,
Take a pen and jot down the news of the Way—
The health of your family, your friends or your
own,
And mark it ” post-haste " to the old folks at
home.
In childhood days who had time to spare
To nightlyrock you in tee rude ldtcnen chair[;
Pillowed tight t , the breast IN bile writhing with
pain—
Sang a low lullaby and brought slumber again ?
Teey are two aged people who live all alone—
No one, my child, but tine old folks at home.
Farther alon in life, in your hey-dey years,
Whose pillow grew hard and dame with tears,
At dear ones inclined from virtue to stray,
And were sowing wild oats in a prodigal way ?
No prince or potentate high on a throne,
But dearer to you, the old folks at home.
Then write them a letter and speed it away,
In heat of patiently
snnshinetor ream each clay,
In search of letters that seldom came,
Then send it along with love and good will.
And you'll have no regrets when they rest on
tae hill.
Stub Ends of Thought.
Truth is mighty and will prevail when
there is money in it. e
A woman will do more kindly things
than she will say.
Men would be different if their con-
sciences were not elastic.
One difference between wealth and
fame is, fame is what other people think
a man has, and wealth is what he knows
he has.
Love is the divine hypnotism.
What a woman says to -day does"•.not
apply to what she may think to -morrow.
Cupid is thinkless.
Man's inconstancy is no greater than
woman's inconsistency.
A certain amount of frietionais neces-
sary to friendship.
There are as many men angels aslthere
are women angels.
No two ltlt% are exactly alike, They
generally agree to disagree.
A Tuan known to be a fool should ex-
cite mere of pity than anger,
Privilege is mere immunity, not power
to invade the rights of others.
Some men are all inttstard, and none of
us like mustard for itself alone.
That man wants to be taken care of
who thinks no one is right but himself.
He is a disagreeable companion who
has nothing but a snarl 'for everybody.
To depart safely from the truth re-
quires good memory and sound discretion.
The man is unfortunate who possesses
nothing for which he can be envied.
The liberal mind is always open to coi-
tion; there is always room for improve-
ment..
It isn't always the man who;has honey-
in
oneyin his words who is free from fraud in his
acts.
The man who is always wise for others
has great difficulty in being wise for
himself.
There is much of affectation in the per-
son who is incessantly complaining to his
fellows.
The man -who is persistently inquisitive
scarcely, if ever, retains the information
given.
Don't waste your spleen on a man after
he is dead. His ashes will never feel the
reflection.
It is a good maxim to forgive many of-
fences of others before you fully exculpate
yourself.
The man who is always thinking of evil
things will most likely be a sufferer from
his thoughts.
It is not always the damage of an in-
jury that is galling, but the spirit in
which it is prompted.
A man who is always boasting of what
he has done is not always the boldest in
the hour of danger.
Let common report of you be good.
Like fame, it gathers strength as it pro-
ceeds and swells as it rolls along.
There is no harm in a fellow being just
as funny as his nature prompts him; only
he must stick to the truth.
Don't try to add to the mystery of an
unknown subject something of a deeper
mystery, a more unknown.
The man who is always fiery and un-
tamed in his efforts to convince is like one
planting flowers on a barren soil.
Some men are so fiery foolish that, in
attempting to enlighten others, they only
mystify and lead astray.
Reason and good address can frequently
accomplish good results where violence
and force would be disastrous.
If one wishes to always remain com-
mendable in the eyes of others let hint
strive to do only that which is useful.
Don't lead one less fortunate than your-
self into error. You may become desper-
ate in poverty yourself some day.
.A. man advocating a cause with a dark
purpose fears even the shadow that might
develop from new light upon the subject.
When defeated in an ambitious prefer-
ment it is only one of weak and narrow
mind who will indulge in so dark a pas-
sion as revenge.
The wretched are capable of violence as
well as perseverance; wisdom would sug-
gest caution in provoking such to opposi-
tion or resistance.
Aphorisms.
An obstinate man does not hold opin-
ions, but they hold him.
When impious inen bear sway, the post
of honor is a private station.
Occupation is the necessary basis of all
enjoyment.
Do not wait for extraordinary eireum-
stances to do good aetions ; try to use or-
dinary situations.
The ohains of habit are too small to be
felt until they are too strong to be broken.
The sunshine of life is made up of very
little beams, that are bright all the time.
Adversity has the effect of eliciting tal-
ents which in prosperous circumstances
would have 1 tin dormant.
Full Points.
An evil thought grows by what it feeds
An insult will hardly admit of com-
pensation.
The man who always lies does not al-
ways deceive.
Most of us act more from habit than
from reflection,
Once is quite enough for a man to ex-
pose a, sore toe.
There can be no pure friendship with-
out sympathy.
What we want is mutuality of inter-
ests—equal freedom.
A mail is low down who lives only on
the fame of others.
Many xnen are like a bird on a, branch,
—always wavering.
It isn't always the wisest man who
never deserts an idea.
Frequently in persuading others we
convince ourselves.
To suspect your fellow is worse than to
be deceived by hien.
It isn't safe'. always to anchor in the
harbor of "hearsay,"
An imposter always uses a club instead
of words of persuasion.
fifteen minutes before she sweetly said ;
-My daughter and I would be pleased
to have you gall, Mr, Dash. My house is
always open to gentlemen."
Or, "My daughter is always .on the
market ; call and inspect her !" moaned
the daughter, in a rare outburst of rebel-
lion. "It's an awful thing to say, but I
declare sometimes I almost feel ashamed
0'f mamma !"
And is "mamma" the martyr?
SOME GIRLS' MOTHERS. •
A GAMULEWS TRICK.
It Did Not V'ork in the Case Here ate,
laced.
" You can always beat a gambler at his
own tricks if you are a fairly good player
and watch his moves and Dards closely
enough to get onto his stock tricks," 'said
a stock exchange man who has the repu-
tation of playing a very stiff hand when
occasion requires. "Once I sat into a
5 -handed game and started out with $10
worth of ohips'and soon lost them. After
a few pots I noticed that two of the amen,
who sat together, had a strong proclivity
for aces, and I suspected that they were
playing foul hands. By keeping a sharp
eye on them I saw that one of iem was
holding out acus by slipping the Dards be-
tween his knee and the under edge of the
table. When he got a hand he would slip
out the carol from beneath with his
thumb, show aces full and then toss them
quickly into the pot.
" 1 got a pair of jacks, opened the pot
and pulled my hat down so that I could
watch the fellow closely. He raised the
pot and I stood the raise. He drew two
cards and 1 drew three, When I drew
my three I didn't stop to examine them,
but put my chips ou top of them. Then
I gathered up the deadwood and put it on
top of the dock and placed the deck close
to me.
"I then bot a check, he raised me and
tapped him. He called the bet and
asked what I had and I replied 'pair of
jacks.'
" 'And I've got ace full,' he returned.
"'Is that -so? Let me see it,' I an-
swered.
" What he really did was to draw a
small pair and one ace, having held out
two aces. That made him an ace full
without regard to the cards he drew.
But he had no way of disposing of the
cards that he had drawn and that left
him with seven cards.
"He doubled up the cards so as to show
the five that made the ace full and then
tried to threw them on the deck. But I
put my hand over the deck and made him
spread his hand down on the table. That
showed up his foul hand and gave me the
pot.
" Yes, sir ; if you watch a gambler close
enough you can easily tell on what line
he is trying to trick you. But, of course,
you have to know the game pretty well."

The Trials and Tribulations Are Not
All on the Parents' Side. '
Every question has two sides, except
the woman question. That, we are told,
has but one, and the other sex is its
prophet. Popular sentiment usually
counts another exception in favor of that
person on whom, wisely or otherwisely,
much sympathy is expended—the mother
whose daughters are ashamed of her.
The columns of periodicals devoted to
"home" topics fairly groan under the
load of scorn and condemnation which
are poured on the head of a young wo-
man who is met more frequently in those
pages than elsewhere—she who openly
acknowledges that "mother is so old-
fashioned,
ldfashioned, I'm really ashamed to have
her around where company is." The
daughter's side of the subject is never
turned up, and, theoretically, doesn't
exist, though practical observation can-
not but have given us sympathy with one
girl's burst of frankness, "Well, if I had
some girls' mothers I know I should be
ashamed of them 1"
There are mothers and mothers, and
the time to see them at their best and
worst is the summer season, and the
place is the summer hotel. There we
may observe that commonest of this
country's social phenomena—the family
where the younger .generation. has been
afforded advantages never enjoyed by the
older one. The trst fruit of the advan-
tages creates almost as much trouble as
an uncertain fruit eaten in a certain
garden — the attempts of Mary (or
"Marie" as she probably begs to be sail-
ed, and is as probably refused) to "fix
up" mother to the latter'e tearful indig-
nation.
"I always say °Chaney,' Mary," she
remonstrates, and my dear mother
taught me to eat with my knife and turn
the blade outward. And if I say 'law
say' and 'those kind of things' is old-
fashioned, I'm old-fashioned, too ; and if
me and my clothes don't suit you, I'm
sorry," and her tears reduce the un-
fortunate Mary to a state of contrition
which lasts till the next time, when she
is sincerely and not altogether unreason-
ably mortified to introduce to cultivated.,
refined people the dearest of mothers in
the queerest of clothes and wit]i oddities
of speech and lips of grammar which
stamp her as "not a lady." Is the
daughter foolish to care, or the mother
selfish to take the trouble to unlearn old
ways for newer, better ones; thatshe may
take a prominent place, instead of the
background, in her girls' social career?
Still another type of mother, who is
never snubbed or thrust aside in public,
nevertheless costs her daughter many a
bitter tear of mortification in private.
She is the match -making mother—a long
familiar type, whose day is near]y done.
Reared under the old system, which de-
fined man as a thing to marry and wo-
man as a thing to bo married, she can-
not look seriously on her daughter's neg-
lect of the main chance and supple-
ments maidenly pride with maternal
push.
We all know this mother and are sorry
for her daughter. "Are you going for a
walk, Mamie dear? The why don't you
ask Mr. Blanc to accompany you?" Poor
Mamie has no recourse but to swallow
her angry tears and invite Mr. Blank,
who, of course, is languidly "delighted,
I'm sure," and if she liked himbeforea to
hates him now, Ono of these mothers
has not known a young "eligible" for
Mary and Her Lamb.
News is received from Boston that the
original Mary who "had a little lamb"
has passed away at the advanced age of
83. Although her identity as Mrs. Mary
Tyler, of Somerville, Mass., was known
to but few, she has been for years pro-
bably the best known character in the
country. Even the venerable Mrs. Hub-
bard, whose larder was so scant that her
poor dog could get no bone, Mr. andMrs.
John Sprat, with their convenient com-
plementary tastes in meat, the somnolent
Bo-peep, the ravenous Jack Horner, the
acrobatic Jack and devoted Jill must be
rated as far less interesting personages
than she. Her little history, simple yet
affecting, is one of the .first prattled by
childish lips, and save in the interval of
harum-searum boyhood, when "little
lambs at play" are apt to be amused with
sticks and stones, it never passes out of
mind. In the years of college glee clubs
the lainbs powers are developed and it
comes out in the role of an enthusiastic
patriot :.
Mary had a little Iamb,
Its fleece was white as snow,
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom,
As years go on, parentage again finds
the lamb quiet and gentle, and another
generation in its turn learns of its snow-
white fleece and loving disposition. The
owner lived to a ripe old age, full of good
works, and died honored with the title of
affection and honor, "Aunt" Mary. The
subsequent history of the lamb has never
been recorded,: Advancing age and a
butcher's knife probably proved to be a
complication of diseases that its constitu-
tion could not withstand. Besides, the
hoarseness resulting from constant shout-
ing for freedom would prove too much for
any ordinary lamb.
HOW HE CURED CYRUS.
ilowv upper -out two or three days before,
and'he was oalkelatin' on spilliii' illy
cliawin' machine at the fust blow. He
looked a Am -dandy as he squared off, and
I rayther anticipated the wust. 1 never
fit in my life, but when we squared oft I
was bound to down (gyrus. Says I:
" Cy, will you quit yer sass and
itameklo if I don't lick ye?'
(' And he said, 'Father, raise your
dukes a lode higher and look out for
1110.'
With that he tapped me on the store-
room with one hand cuffed my ear
with the other, and I sailed in. He give
give me one on, the tooth -box as T closed
in, but arter that the gate money was
mine, I throw+ed him into the mangier,
over tike fannin' spill and behind the
granary, and I was goin' to run him
through the corn shelter when he hollered
'Enough !' and begged me to let up on
him. Swellin' all wont out of his head
that night, and when I licked him with a
cornstalk next day he was as humble as
a calf. Gymnastics is all right up to a
certain pint, but when you git beyond it
it's dangerous, S'poso I hadn't come out
on top of Cy! Why, sir, he'd been Muf-
fin' me outer the house by this time, and
probably had a matoh on with Sullivan."
Newspapers and Morals.
In one of the Toronto pulpits a weeleor
two ago an eloquent and deservedly
popular preacher took occasion in a dis-
course, which was for the most part an
admirable one, to read the newspapers of
the country a lesson on their duties in
conserving the morals of the community
in which they are published. The tone
of the criticism was kindly, with an
apologetic deprecation of any notion on
the part of the speaker that he could edit
a newspaper better than the editor. But
there was a certain decided expression of
opinion that in certain particulars the
newspapers are not what they should be.
The particulars specified were in the so-
ciety column and the publication of de-
tails of prize fights; and the character of
the criticism can be gathered from the
following queries of the clergyman : "Of
what earthly interest is it to anybody but
the young lady herself that Miss So-and-
so has gone to Montreal or London for a
week?" and "why should the editor who
denounces prize -fighting in the column
devoted to the expression of opinions ,give
up several columns in another portion to
the details of a brutal conflict?"
The criticism embodied in these queries
undoubtedly voices the sentiment of a
very considerable class in the commun-
ity; but it is based on a conception of the
function and purpose of the newspaper
which is essentially erroneous, not to say
absurd. The newspaper is undoubtedly
a great power in the land, and has a
great deal to do with the moulding of
public opinion. Primarily, however; it
is not established for those purposes, but
as a business venture ; and its success in
moulding public opinion and encourag-
ing morality is, as a role, proportionate
to its success as a business venture. It
is the newspaper which reaches the
masses, and which is therefore a success-
ful business venture, which exercises the
power which its critics concede; but in
order to reach the masses it must print a
good•deal that is not quite to the taste of
the severe critic, perhaps not always en-
tirely to the taste of those who are man-
aging it as a business venture.
One of the essentials of the successful
conduct of a newspaper is to print
what the people want. Otherwise the
paper will not be read, in which case
it will not attract advertising patronage,
and its views on moral questions will be
of no particular importance, and certain-
ly of no particular value. If the people
want what is irreverently called "society
slush" it is the business of the newspaper
to print it in moderation; and the same
is true of the details of prizefights. The
editor may not bdlieve in either. He
may denounce prize fights and regard
the desire of the society person to see his
or her name in print as of small account.
But if he wants an audience for his valu-
able opinions on these points, and especi-
ally if he wants to reach the class which
most needs to be reached, he must pub-
lish the news or the pith of it. As to the
society column which the sarcasm of our
esteemed critic was levelled, we think he
greatly underestimates' its interest and
value. , It, not only interests the young
woman who has been to Montreal to see
that fact in print, but it interests her to
read of the other young women who
have been, or are going, to Hamilton or
Brantford, and of the other young wo-
men who have given 5 o'clock teas or
parties. And as these are also interested
in seeing a printed account of what they
and each of them have done, the number
interested grows very large when social
events are brisk; and the number of
readers secured for the editor's discjuisi-
tion—if he has any—on the weakness of
caring for such things is greatly in-
creased. As for the stern merchant to
whom such things aro vanity and vex-
ation. of spirit, he can skip the society
column and the prize fight reports, and
devote himself to the editorial presenta-
tion of the moral aspect of both these
questions.
The Point at Which Gymnastics Be-
came Dangerous to Family Dis-
spline.
" This 'ere athletics and gymnasiums is
all wrong," said the old man as he laid
down his paper and began to shuck a
three-ply peanut. "I've had a sample of
it in my own family, and I know how it
works."
" Don't you believe in such exercises
for a young man?"
" Wali, the exercise may be all right,
but the fellers git false ideas in their
heads. Take my son Cyrus, f'r instance.
Cy was a leetle inclined to consumption,
and I rayther encouraged gymnastics.
It wasn't three weeks afore he begun to
git sassy. I gave him a Hokin' one day,
and could see he didn't take it kindly.
He began to put on airs over his mother,
and when 1 cum to inquire around a loetle
one day I found that Cy was on the box.
He was a-holdin' up his dukes and
knockin' the boys right and left. I over-
heard him talkin' to our Bill about'posi-
tion,' `guard,' 'break away,' 'knock out'
and sick, and every, day he got sassier and
sassier. He was eighteen years old, but I
allus lick my boys till ,they are past
twenty. I saw that Cy was goin' to buck.
Thar' was Bill and Tom and Jerry to be
affected by his example, and I telt that
sunthin' orter be done. One day we was
hosin' corn, and Cy was off. I didn't
mind it fur a while, but bine-by I got
riled and said :
" Seems to me you ar'
achin, fur a
Hokin' .'
"' Mebbe I am, father,' he replies, as
cool as ice, 'blit I shan't git it, I've bin
licked fur the last tine.''
""Cause why?' 1 asked.
"Cause I won'b allow it.'
" Then I knew that the time had some
when he'd got to have sunthin' stronger
than hoes medicine. He'd got the big
head on him trereenjus, and it was then
Or never.
"' Suppose we walk over to the barn,
Cly?' X kseriessly remarked as I finished
a row.
"He said he was my huckleberry, • and
we droppedour hogs and went. When
we got inside both began to peel by
mutual consent and Cy corned .again all
over his face. He'd boon put on to the
IT WAS TOO LATE.
The Man Had Already Put Himself Out
of the Reach of Soetety.
The man with an important air took
the seat next to the amiable -looking man
and smiled.
"Vacation trip, I suppose," ventured
the important man. The other nodded.
"Ever hear of the engagement insur-
ance company ?" asked the man of im-
portance. "You know in summer how
very impressionable men are. 'Well, I
represent a scheme that is simply great.
A man may become engaged to a beauti-
ful girl during his vacation and upon liis
return to town totally forget the fact,
owing to pressure of business. hard work,
and so on. But the girl may remember,
and then there` is likely to be trouble.
Now you take out a policy in our com-
pany and we insure you against further
worry. Furthermore-"
"But," interposed the amiable man,
"I am not—" •
"That may be," continued the other.
"You do notseem to be that kind, but
there's no tolling what may happen.
Now, for a dollar a month you become a
inembor of our company, and if you
should become engaged and afterward
suffer a lack of memory and a breach of
promise case looms up, why then we take
the matter out of your hands and settle
it. See? Only one paltry dollar a month
insures perfect liberty to you. Do you
not think it would be well to take out a
policy ?"
The amiable man shook his head
sadly.
"No," he answered, "it's too lata. I
have been married several years."

Stub Ends of Thought.
Courtship is a glass through which we
see darkly.
Matrimony is a remarkable developer
of character.
A man may monkey with a lie until he
thinks it is something else.
Watch the dollars in their flight if you
want to stop their flying.
Cupid may be blind as a bat, but he
has ears that can hear a dollar jingle. •
The wag of the dog's tail is more to be
trusted than the shake of 'a man's hand. •
Love makes morn people miserable than
it makes happy; unless misery in love is.
one form of happiness.
Feminine beauty is not the subject for
a man to select for conversational• pur-
poses with a homely woman. •
Octr own children are about the only.
things we have which we would rattier
have than have the things other people
have.
Whin Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria.
When she waw a Child, site eried for Castoria,
When she became Miss, she oiling to Castoria,
Whosi she had Chiidrenr she gave their Castoria.
