The sun shot out From the blue hill -tops bright with burnished gold. But o'er one cite.- home gloom hung about, Brought there by Death (man's foe from days of old), Within its walls he etalked with stately tread, And laid his icy hands upon a mother's head. Just as he entered suffering ceased. Words low She spake to her one boy: "My child, draw near And see me die ; but promise, ere If go, Never taste liquor. Promise, dear?' • promisee mother !" solemnly be cried. "God bless and guard my sen !" she prayed, then died. Night threw her starry mantle o'er the sky, While a new moon she placed in one dusk fold, Then walked abroad in dark-browed majesty To see what the great city streets might hold. Plenty of music thrilled the midnight air, And homes alight with—What? Proud joy of care? One bar -room bright attracted soon her -eye, From which came shouts of revelry and sin. Then forms approached the spot, but passed not by— They stopped to urge a young companion in. Their words were vain, the tempted one said, "No! I never drink ! Good night ! Home now I go! " Ha ! ha! you won't go yet !" his friends replied. "We will not let you off—lis too soon '2" They siezed his arms, a youth on either aide, And drew hitn forcibly into the room. "'ow drink vrith us !" they oried ; " you shall not page Outside until you drain at leaet one glass," Boys,' said the youth, taking the gloss in hand, And gazing on it as he held it off, Before I drink, please hear and understand My case; then surely you no more will scoff. I had a father orme, Iike some of you, Mine loved the ruby wine, and drank it, too. "For yeara and years he let its deedly spell Weave the firrn net that laid him in his grave. I had a mother, too -1 loved her well, Andshe loved me'but love life could not save. A pledge I gave her, as I saw her die, And now to keep that pledge each day I try. " Yea, she is dead!

I promised mother, boys, the day she died, Never to drink one drop So, stand aside," Amazed—astonished—with awe on each face, The friend& drew back to let braye Philip pass • Then paying for their drinks, they left the piece, Lef t,teo, untested on the bar each glass, Outside they paused, shook hands, and with " good -night," Said : " No more wine for us ! Phil's course was right !" —Sophie L. Schenck. How I Have Been Proposed To. I am a girl, twenty-five years old, and it has been my fortune to have had six pro- posals of marriage made to me. I have re- jected all my gaiters, not because I disliked the idea of marriage nor because all who proposed to me were disagreeable to me, or, in my opinion unworthy of me, but for the simple reason that I loved someone who was not one of the number. Let me say, in justice to myself, that I am not a ccquette. did not seek to have wooers. My first offer was made me by a boy of eighteen'and the way he proposed was: "1 say, May, don't you think it would be jolly fun if you and I were to get married ?" I didn't think it would. He was awfully wretched, poor fellow"for a fortnight, but he didn't die of a broken heart, as he said he would. The next was a young curate. He led the way to the point by scriptural steps. "Miss D ," he aaid, " 'Entreitt me not to leave thee, and to return from fol- lowiog after thee' are very beautiful words." I agreed they were. Very beautiful words. He went on, " and—ah ! eh !—very ap- propriate to -to -more occasions than one. Take the—ab! ah !—the present, ah ! for instance. I would myself—ah ! ah ! apply the words to—to—ah—to myeelf. I-1— would say—ah !the fact is I love yen." I was sorry for him'for he was a good- natured, honest -hearted fellow, though be was so nervous and clumsy. The next wooer was a man I detested. The more I &Dubbed him the more he per- sisted in bothering me. He was what is called a "lady killer." His dress was quite exquisite. His bat, his collar, his tie, his cuffs, his cut of clothes were all superb. I took every opportunity of showing him how much I despised him. One day, however, in spite of all rebuffs, catching me alone, he seized the occasion : "Miss D 9) 9 he said, you know it is really ediculous ! My intentions are, I assure you,' here he felt if his tie was right—" my intntions, I assure you, are the most serious—positively of the most serious—ahem !—character, haw! Perhaps you have not suspected it, but I am not joking, I assure you, not jok- ing at all, you know! Seriously, upon my honor, you know, I would really ask you to be my wife ?" I gave him a very decided anewer. The next was a man of business. He pre- pared the way by telling me his income and Ms business prospects. He was a success- ful man but he wanted something he hadn't got. He thought it must be a wife. "I have six hundred a year," he said, will you share it! He was ie good and honor- able man, though sharp and business like, even in his way of proposing. He got married within six months of rny rejecting him. My fifth lover was an author, and his mode of proposing wan somewhat out of the usual way. We were great friends, and he used to show me many of his manuscripts for me to read and give my opinion on them. One day I received one of these. It was the story of a lover who had sighed a long time in secret for the love of a girl who was pictured in all the frantic fashion in which men who are in love write. At last, how- ever, after the numberless objects bad been overcome, the hero told his love, and just when I was expecting the usual ending to it all—the story dropped. I thought it strange. The next day the author called on rne, and then the explanation came. The hero of the tale was himself, the heroine was me—and the conclusion was to be as I decided. I was really sorry for him, for he was one of those fearfully sensitive men— clever, though eccentric—worthy of a wo- man'sleve, and sorely needing it. I had a good cry all to myself, after he had gone, for I am sure he suffered much. My next offer was made by letter. It seems to me that there is something wrong with a man who is afraid to propose in per- son, and takes refuge in writing. I could never consent to marry one who dared not ask me to be his wife looking me in the face. I rejected all of these, because, as I have said, I loved somebody else who was not among them. I am grieved to think that I must have caused pain to some, but my conscience is clear. I never, consciously, encouraged any of them to fall in love with me. munity is concerned, if not in the same de- gree, just as certaiely as the liquor seller or others who engage in non-productive em- ployments. Every dollar expended beyond his earnings is a dollar wasted to the com- munity. The community, in some of its parts, is going to come short that amount. The position is worse than this. That dol- lar he has lost by his exetravagant living is not only a dollar lost, but, like the talent unused and tied up in a napkin, there has been lost with it the earning power possess- ed by it. We see the force of this condition when we contrast the position of the bisi- ness.man who loses his dollar with the man who husbands it. The one, In pursuiog this policy continuously, becomes a bankrupt; the other is steadily adding to the wealth of the community at large. His business in- creases, givinn him the ability to consume greater supplies of the raw material of his own or other countries. Additional em- ployment is furnished to the laborer; the avenues of transportation have increased business placed in their hands; and all through the net -work of activity that sur- rounds:operations -of business the pulse throbs with enlarged healthfulness and strength. Individual extravagance is a national calamity.—Canada Luniberman. "She Lived for me." Mrs. Catharine Booth has been called the forerunner of an improved Christianity. She was the mother of the poor and the outcasts of London. Countless anecdotes are told of her descents into the darkest slums of the great Metropolis, and how like a diver, she always came back after having res- cued some lost treasure of manhood or wo- manhood. She was adored in England beyond any woman of the realm, and that, not because she was rich or fashionable, or intellectually distinguished, but because she was the in- spiration and model of earnest souls:who wiehed to help the wretched. The Salvation Army of the world, in a sense too broad for any one organization, looked to her for les- sons in Christian philanthropy. Probably the most beautiful and affecting scene of her earthly career was enacted about her bier. For three days her body lay in state in London while the nation wept. It is estimated that more than two hundred thousand people passed beside her coffin. What made this tribute more memorable than those accorded to the young Duke of Clarence, or even to Cardinal Manning or Mr. Spurgeon, was the fact that these crowding mourners were the " common peo- ple," who "heard her gladly," and to whom she had given her life. At one time fifteen degraded women gath- ered around her bier, and looked upon her still face steadfastly. "Move on ! -move an !" came the impatient cry from hundreds waiting their turn. "Let others move on," said a totteriog old woman, who had been looking long into the face of the dead. "Let others move on. I have a right to atop. She saved my boy." Following her came three rough, drinking fellows; they knelt beside the bier, and vowed to become better men. Another poor,ragged drunkard, for whom she had long labored, apparently in vain, staggered to her coffin anieltcried out: That womaI lived for me! God help mo! She lived for me !" There are few towns which have not their quota of poor and degraded men and women within the radius of an afternoon's walk. Many of them have been given up as "hope- less oases." Mrs. Booth did not approach such people from a standpoint of superior virtue; she did not look down upon them, but touched them with sympathizing hands, and spoke to them lovingly. She had learn- ed bow to do this from the greatest philan- thropist whose life is !recorded in history. Christ showed us the true way of treating the miserable. We read and say of Mrs. Booth Whst an enviable life! What a beautiful death! It is natural to be moved by a pathetic story. A generous emotion costs little. But to act, to sacrifice'to do the hard thing,per- haps the unpopular thing—that requires resolution and effort. It is so much easier to be comfortable than to be noble. " She lived for me." "He lived for me." Who will say that of us, when our hour comes to lie atilt? " The dear dead lived for me." Whose choking voice will drop these words through tears upon your cold face, or mine, some quiet day ? Shall it be the cry of some poor crea- ture saved from s wicked life? Or the bless- ing of the lonely, unattractive invalid,whom no one else remembered? Or the whisper of a brother caught from temptation by the love he found at home? Or the murmur of that classmate whose life was debatable, un- til he had the help he needed? Or the moan of a mother to whose age and helplessness we did not grow tried of ministering? Let us choose. --0— Economy Discussed. Political economists draw a sharp dividing line between those trades that are produc- tive in their results, and others which,while representing an outgo do not add in any way to the wealth of the State. The lumber and wood -working trades furnieh a familiar illustration of the first named class. Start- ing from the time the tree is felled in the foreat until the day it graces our drawing rooms, shaped into handsome furniture, as each day's labor has been put upon it, and capital has been employed to give it other shape and form, its value has gone on in- creaeing, adding to the wealth of the pro- ducer and the nation in which the work of production has been carried on. The liquor traffic is often taken by political economists to illustrate a business which gives back no- thing productive, or that benefits the indi- vidual or nation, in return for the capital and labor absorbed by it. The individual who draws upon his earn- ing powers ba excess of the amount earned, is violating every rule of sound political economy, so far as his worth to the corn - Children Cry for ed into the hall or into another room, or taken by the handle and carried upstairs. The same stove is used in the bedroom to dress by, rolled into the breakfast room like a baby carriage, then into the sitting room. It is multum in parvo. It is a cook stove, fire -place and furnace. The American who burns ten tons of coals in a rangeetwelve tons in a furnace, and two tons in grates is amazed when he sees a whole house in Paris warmed with one ton of coal. The twenty tons used by the American would warm the Boulevard des Italiens. Such overstrained economy has, however, its disadvantage in loss of health, and occasionally of life it- self." Paying the Dressmaker. I am a dressmaker; I have one customer who insists upon not paying me until she has worn the dress I have made her. She is pleased with the work, has tried it on and accepted itoind although I let her set her own price, she still says she will not pay till she wears the dress. She is a Chnrch member, and claims to be a Chris- tian. Is her conduct like that of a true Chriitian ? She has now in her posseesion a dress which I made for her over two years ago, and which is not yet paid for, becauee she has not worn it. She will gladly pay me $10 for it when her time , comes, but till then, no matter how much I isuffer, she will pay nothing. She says I need not feel un- easy about my pay, for I know she always pays when she first wears the drees ; but meanwhile I need bread and butter. She ie a good customer, and I do not like to offend her, and if I do she will be apt to ssy, "Well, if you do not like my way you need do no more work for me." What course ought I to pursue ?—M. A. W., in Christian Union. We would advise you to look up another customer to replace this one, rather than submit to this unwarranted piece of de- frauding. You are not concerned with the time of the wearing of the dress. You might as well say to her, "I will not deliver your dress to you till I have received the money for it and used it." Watering a Horse. A horse can live twenty-five days without solid food, merely drinking water, seventeen days without eating or drinking, and only five days when eating solid food without drinking. An idea prevails among horsemen that a horse should never be watered oftener than three times a day, or in twenty-four hours. This is not only a mistaken idea, but a brutal practice. A horse's stoznaeh is extremely sensitive, and will suffer under the least interference, causing a feveriela condition. Feeding a horse principally on grain and driving it five hours without water is like giving a man salt mackerel for dinner, and not allowing him to drink before supper time—very unsatisfactory for the man. If you know anything about the care of horses, and have any sympathy for them, water them as they want to drink—once an hour if possible. By doing this you will not only be merciful to your animals, but you will be a benefactor to yourself,.as they will work better and live longer. If you are a skeptic and know more about horses than anyone else, you are positive that the foregoing is, wrong, because you have had horses die With watering them too much, a9d boldly say that the agitators of frequent watering are fools in your estimation, and you would not do such a thing. Just reason for a moment and figure out whether the animal would have over -drunk and over - chilled his stomach if he had not been al- lowed to become over -thirsty. A horse is & great deal like a- man. Let him get overworked, overstsrved or abused, particularly for the want of sufficient drink in warm weather, and the consequences will always be injurious. Sensible hostlers in large cities are awakening to the advantage of frequent watering. Street car horses are watered every 'hour, and sometimes oftener, while they are at work. It is plenty of water that supplies evaporation er perspiration, and keeps down the temperature. What old fogy methods amount to may be seen by the change in medical practice to man. Twenty years ago a person having a fever of any kind or pneumonia was allowed but little to drink, and then it had to be tepid. lo -day practitioners prescribe all the iced water the patient can es,ossibly drink, and in addition cold bandages which are applied to reduce and control. the tempera- ture of the blood. What is applicable to man will never injure a horse. Use common sense and humane feeling. Don't think it is a horse, and capable of enduring any and all things. A driver who sits in his wagon and lashes his worn-out, half -curried, half -fed and half -watered team should never com- plain of any abuse he may receive from his master or employer, for he is lower in char- acter, harder in sympathy and less noble than the brutes he is driving, and deserves, in the name of all that is humane, the same punishment as a criminal.—Massachusetta Ploughman. • Pretended Deaf Men. In the countries of Europe in which the military conscription exists many tricks are resorted to by oonscripts in the effort to escape service. Often men have been known to mutilate themselves, as by cutting off a forefinger, in order to render themselves un- fit for service. Pretended inability to see is exposed by the surgeons wit I'out great tdifficulty, but pretended deafness ometimes bailles the examiners. A counter -trick on the part of the officers was for some time effective against this fraud. The recruiting officer, after a con- script had pretended to be deaf, remarked in an ordinary tone of voice, "You are un- fit for the service; you are free." In many cases the recruit showed by evident signs of satisfactioe that he had heard the remark. He was then recalled, told that he had been detected in his fraud and sent back to the barracks. After a. time, however, the conscripts be- came too wary to be caught in this trap. They had heard of the trick, and were on the lookout for this remark, and when it was uttered they made no sign of intelli- gence. , Lately the French officers have invented a new "trap," the suocese of which is a curious illustratiorrof the ingrained cour- tesy, or at least the assumption of courtesy, on the part of Frenchmen of all classes. After the" You are free "has failed to excite any sign of understanding in the re- cruit's face, the command to go is shouted at him. He starts out of the room, the door of which is held open by mechanical means. As he passes through it, the officer says: "You might at least shut the door !" This little unjust impeaehment of the man's politeness is said in nine cases out of ten of pretended deafness to result in a quick turning of the man's head. He is then called back, and told that he has been found fit for the service. The Economy of the French. While the description by Eli Perkins of the French stove and its varied uses may be somewhat exaggerated, it none -too forcibly illustrates the hsbite of the French people in their household economy. The stove is about the size of an ice - water tank in a Pullman car. It is loaded with about two quarts of coal, the small three-inch pipe adjusted to the chimney and the coal lighted. After burning a while the draught is shut off, and the stove is wheeled around the room. The room is warmed in sections. First it is wheeled up to the old man, who throws out his fingers, then across to the old lady, who embraces it, and then up to the baby. Then it is wheeled back to the chimney, the draught opened, and the fire rekindled. There are usually two chim- ney holes about the room. After one room has been treated to a fire, the stove is roll - Pitcher's Castoriag Bebachelored Existence. Man is but an incompletii-I being without a helpmeet—in fact, only a moiety of a man, waiting to be perfected by the addition of a "better half. ' The royalty of his nature re- mains undeveloped while he is single. Only when he has a wife to proteet and cherish, and children to train and dishipline, does he attain Ms true status in the world. Abdon, the Judge of Israel, whose forty sons and thirty grandsons ' filed off before him, mounted on threescore and ten ass colts, may be supposed to have felt wonder- fully edifidd and built up by the spectacle. How the old man's heart must have bounded with honeSt exultation when he beheld such a cavalcade of his own raising. Home and family—what a 'dreary object- less life is his, who has not these to care for, and what a desert of a world, this would be without the wives and babies! IMPORTANT NOTICES. DULL FOB.

A long, loosely incorporated individual Walked into one of our city clothing houses the other day and addressed the gentleman in charge, who, by the way of description, wears a very thin suit of hair next the ceil- ing, and said to him; "Do you keep all kinds of felt goods ?" "Yea sir," said the gentleman in charge, drawing himself up to his full height, "yes, sir ; everything in that line known to the trade." "Well, then," said the lank man, " I would like to buy a long -felt want." And then silence reigned that could almost be felt as the lank man disappeared.— Crookston (Minn.) Times. You are so Stingy. An old housekeeper in a Connecticut town took the daughter of a poor neighbor into her family to assist in the housework. The- girl, who was fifteen years old, had never known anything but the most abject poverty, her family having been alwaeys "helped by the town." The housekeeper discovered that the girl was most wasteful, and conscientiously tried to train her to habits of economy, but in spite of every ef- fort failed. The housekeeper found her one day washing the diehes in half -cold water, on the top of which floated the pieces of butter from the butter plates. In response to the reprimand received she ans- wered : "1 don't want to stay here, you're so stingy; we throw away every day at our house what you eat." The family are still "helped by the town," enly there are sev- eral families to be "helped "—the subject of this sketch and all her sisters having mar- ried and set up housekeeping. A judicious outlay of the town funds by intelligent Christian women might prevent such pauper high living. ONO ENJOY' BEAUTY AND HEALTH.
