" The Woods on a Summer
Morning.
Have you heard, of a summer morning,
The burst ot the woodland praise,
Like a glorious hallelujah
Which God's people love to raise
In their churches and cathedrals,-
" He reigneth for evermore?' _
It is moot sublime in the woodland
When the winds through the tall trees roar.
"Ho Ilveth forever and ever I"
It sounds from the crested hills,
It echoes in sheltered valleys,
And is sung by the tinkling rills,
The pines take it up in a whisper,
And the ferns repeat it again-
" He liveth forever and ever l"
In an endless, soft refrain.
Th a breeze tones down to a zephyr,
And the birds pour forth their lays,
And oh, what a burst of music
From their golden throats they raise -
"We praise Him for tender mercy,
We praise Him for loving care. !"
And the winds take up the anthem,
Till the charm is everywhere.
We join in the acclamation.
As through far distant trees
The winds again are roaring
Like the waves of storm -tossed seas.
Our hearts are aglow with rapture
That the earth was made so fair,
An.d we feel a pervading Presence
That sings and stirs in the air.
-Atexe, E. PRESTON,

They brought him a scheme for relieving the poor -
He wasn't in it.

They wouId't need help from any one
If they hadn't wasted each golden minute -
He wasn't in it.
So he passed the poor with a haughty tread -
He wasn't in it-;
And he scorned the good with averted head -
He wasn't in it.
When men in the halls of virtue met,
He saw their goodnesa without regret;
Too high the mark for him to win it --

Who Did. What
Innocent gossip, with no malice in it, has
often a charm for the best of people, as in-
deed why should it not ? The person who
takes little interest in the loves and hates,
forttuses and misfortunes of his neighbora is
far more likely to be the posseasor of a cold
heart than of a superior mind; but there is
each a thing as being too inquisitive.
In the days when our grandmothers were
girls there came occasionally into the family
of a good deacon with nine children a village
dressmaker of the kind immortalized by
Mrs, Stowe in "The Minieter's Wooing."
She was neither so delightful nor so daring
as Miss Prissy, but she had all of that good
woman's interest in other people'e affairs,and
always looked forward with particular
pleasure to the week during which she cut
and fitted for the deacon's girls, knowing
that his house was in some sort a social
centre, where she wets likely to hear plenty
of fresh news and entertaining anecdotes.
One day she arrived late for her work,and
as she entered the house caught a glimpse of
the six daughters already assembled in the
sitting -room with their gowns and patterns,
their work -boxes and their new roll of "Injy
muslin."
But none of them were at work, for one
was telling the others a story of such ab-
sorbing interest tint they eat breathless and
spellbound, with hands fallen in their laps
or needles suspended in the air.
The sight was too much for the new -comer.
With one mitt on and one off, her unfasten-
ed pelisse dragging from her shoulders, her
bonnet askew, and its loosened strings
streaming, she appeared suddenly among the
aetonished girls, crying as she came:
"What' What" What is it' Who did
what?"
She was answerer], although giving a full
answer involved the re -telling of the whole
story, but her comprehensive enquiry became
thereafter a family by -word.
Among the deacon's descendants to this
day if one shows gigns of too great inquisi-
tivenees, it is eufficient for any other mem-
ber of the family to ask, with a lift of the
eyebrow:
"Who -did what ?"
Mrs. Sarah M. Black of Seneca,
Mo., during the past two years has
been affected with Neuralgia of the
Head, Stomach and Womb, and
writes: "My food did not seetn to
strengthen me at all and my appe-
tite was very variable. My face
was yellow, my head dull, and I had
such pains in my left side. In :the
morning when I got up I would
have a flow of mucus in the mouth,
and a bad, bitter taste. Sometimes
my breath became short, and I had
such queer, tumbling, palpitating
sensations around the heart. I ached
all day under the shoulder blades,
in the left side, and down the back
of my limbs. It seemed to be worse
in the- wet, cold weather of Winter
and Spring; and whenever the spells
came on, my feet and hands would
turn cold, and I could get no sleep
at all. I tried everywhere, and got
no relief before using August Flower
Then the change came. It has done
me a wonderful deal of good during
the time I have taken it and is work-
ing a complete cure." 0

down the list, until the ninth and last gets
up. He has no choice. He simply takes
what is left. If he has exceptionally good
luck he may find a complete suit, but it is as
exceptional as winning the capital prize in a
lottery. The probabilities are that each gar-
ment represents a different suit of widely
separated era of co-nstruction ; all more or
less in need of repair. We are philosophi-
cal, and the last one to arise usually takes
an inventory and then goes into dry dock for
repairs, or, in Other words, goes back to
bed while buttons are sewn on and rents are
closed. -
After telling you all this it is hardly nec-
essary ler me to say that I was the last one
to get up this morning. The result is I am
wearing base ball shoes, black drese pants, a
white vest, lawn -tennis shirt, pea jacket and
a etraw hat. The neck -tie is all right. I
would have overslept myself this morning,
but it was so loud it woke me up.

Burke's Grasshopper.
Sir Philip Francis once waited upon Ed-
mund Burke by appointment, to read over
to him some important public documents.
He found Mr. Burke in his garden, holding
a grasshopper and observing it attentively.
"What a beautiful creature is this !" said
Burke. "Observe its structure, -its legs, its
wings, its eyes."
"How can you," said Sir Philip, "lose
your time in admiring such an animal, when
you have so many objects of importance to
attend to?"
" Yet Socrates," seid Burke, "attended to
a mneh less animal ; he actually measured
the proportion which its size bore to the
space it passed over in a skip. I think the
skip of iv grasshopper cloee not exceed its
length. Let no eee."
"My dear friend," said Sir Philip, " I am
in a great burry; let us walk in and let me
read my papers to you."
Into the house they walked. Sir Philip
began to read, and Burke appeared to listen.
At length, Sir Philip, haeiug mislaid a -pa-
e
per, a pause ensued.
"1 think," said Burke, " that naturalists
are now agreed that loeusta,' not 'cicada,'
is, the Latin word for grasshopper. What's
your opinion, Sir Philip'?"
" My opinion,' :tnswered Sir Philip,
gathering up his papers and preparing to go,
" is that tilt the grasshopper is out of your
head, it will be idle to talk to you of the
affairs of your country."
Reasons for Early Rising in a
Family of Boys of a
Uniform Size.
A very popular mernVer of tho department
of public eafety, says, the Pittsburg Dis-
patch, is noted for the great variety of his
wardrobe, especially in the matter of hats
and necktiee, and it as been a source of
wonder to his friends how he managed to
follow et successfully in the lines laid down
by Belay Wall, more especially as his salary,
while good, is not extravagant, and he is
knewn to have v. horror of running bills,
especially tailors' bilis.
Last evening he dropped into Central sta-
tion with a particularly lurid necktie that
pnt to shame the electric light and made
the glittering brass railing in front of the
captain's desk look sombre in comparison.
He was asked where he got the object lesson
in pritnary colors, and in a voice of confi-
dence told the following story.
" You eee, it's not altogether my fault
I'm wearing this necktie. I am of a retiring
disposition, and it makes me nervous when I
pass a young lady on the street to have her
look at this necktie aud then atop and listen
for thunder. But this is the way it is.
There are nine of us boys and we all live at
home. There is tittle difference in our size,
and the faun& hal, collar or shirt will fit
each and every Oun of us. Now see how it
works.
The first oue up in the morning has the,
choice of nine outfits. From what is com-
paratively an infinite variety of clothing he
can select that which suits him beat, and
he generally doe e it. If it is a warm sun-
shiny day, and he glances through the
clothing clearing house, and picks out a
light suit, patent leather shoes, a straw hat
and a. fancy necktie, probably leaving in
their place heavy winter wear, all splashed
with mud.
The next to arise will take his choice of
the remainder of the clothing, and so on;

not. If she is a worker, the suspicious girl
thinks that every other -busy woman gets
more money than she does ; that every other
one has some special influence by which her
position is made easier, and she never stops
to think that the greatest influence a woman
can possibly possess is a cheerful manner,
and the belief that every one is going to do
the beet they can for her. Lite, my dear
girl, is a looking -glass. The one held up
before your face throws back suspicious and
unkind thoughts; the one before the other
girl gives her hope and belief. Whose is the
fault? It is not in the mirror; that is clear
and straight and sends back line for line and
shade for shade; the distortion is in you.
Think about that a little bit, won't you?
Carry around a mental mirror ; take the
brush of hope and sweep out the suspicious
cobwebs from your brain; your eyes will
grow brighter, life will be happier, your
looking.glass will give a better picture, and
all the world will seem sweeter and better,
and life itself more worth living. ,
The Law of Kindness; Or the Old
Woman's Railway Signal',
The moat effective working force in the
world in which we live is the law of kind-
ness. Some time ago we read of an incident
that will serve as an illustration. It was
substantially this: A poor, old woman lived
on the line of the Baltimore & Ohio railway,
where it passes through a wild, unpeopled
district of Western Virginia. She was a
widow, with only one daughter living with
her in a log hut, near asleep, precipitous
gorge, crossed by the railway bridge. Here
she contrived to support them by raising and
selliug poultry and eggs, adding berries in
their season, and other little articles. She
had to make a long, weary walk of many
miles to the town where she could sell her
produce. Tho railway passed her cahin to
this town ; but the ride would coat too much
of the profits of her small sales, so she trudg-
ed generally to the market on foot. A con-
ductor finally came to notice her walking by
the side of the line or between the rails, and
being a good natured, benevolent man,
would often give her a ride too and fro
without charge. The engine -men and brake-
men were also geed to the old woman, and
felt they were not wronging the interests of
the railway company. And soon an acci-
dent occurred that proved they were quite
right.
In the month of March the rain despended
and the mountains sent down their rolling,
roaring torrents of melted snow and ie into
this gorge near the old woman's hut,. The
flood arose with the darkness of the !night,
until she heard tho crash of the railway
bridge as it was swept from its abutments
and dashed its broken timbers against the
craggy sides of the precipice. The rain fell
in a flood, and the darkness was deep and
the storm howling. In another helf•hour
the express train would be due. What
could she do to warn it against the l awful
destruction it was approaching? NO light
she could make of tallow or oil would live a
moment in that tempest of wind and rain.
Not a moment was to be lost ; but her
thought was equal to the moment. She cut
the cord of her only bedstead, and shoulder-
ed the dry poets, side -pieces and head -piece.
Her daughter followed her with their two
wooden chaire. Up the steep einbankment
they climbed, and piled all their heusehold
furniture upon the line a few rods before the
black, awful chasm gurgling with the roar-
ing flood. The distant rumbling of the train
came upon them just as they had fired the
well -dried combustible,. The pile blazed up
into the night, throwing its red, booming
light a long way up the track. In fifteen
minutes it would begin to wane, and she
oould not revive it with green, wt wood.
The thunder of the train grew louder.
It wee within five miles of the fire. Would
they see it in time? She tore her red flan-
nel gown from her in a moment, and, tying
it to the end of a stick, ran up the track,
waving it with both hands, while her daugh-
ter swung round her heed a blazing chair -
post a little before.
The lives of a hundred unconscious isas-
sengers hung on the issue of the next min-
ute. The great red eye of the engine burst
upon her as it came round a curve. The
train was at full speed; but the whistle
sounded and the brakemen wrestled at their
leverage with all the strength of despera-
tion. The wheels ground along on the rails
slower and slower, until the engine etopped
at the decaying fire. It till blazed enough
to show them the edge of the black abyss
into which the train would have plunged had
it not been for the old woman's signals
They did not stop to thank her first for the
deliverance. The conductorlinelt down by
the side of the engine; the engine -driver
Counting the Change.
Even a mathematician will get mixed in
hie calculations sometimes when changing
money back and forth, says the Savannah
News. The telegraph operator at the De
Soto realizes this fact and nine men out of
ten wonld have done the same thing that he
did without thinking.
One night last week a guest at the hotel
banded in a message. The operator counted
the words and announced that the Charge
was 50 cents. The gentleman banded over
a $10 bill which the operator mistook for a
$1 bill, and gave him back 50 cents. The
gentleman left the hotel without noticing
the mistake. Presently he discovered it and
returned to the operator's desk. •
"Wasn't that a $10 bill I gave you awhile
ago ?" he said.
The operator opened his drawer and look-
ed at the bill.
"Why yes," he exclaimed; "1 thought
it was a one. Here it is," and he handed
over the bill.
"Now I owe you 50 cents," said the gen-
tleman.
" Oh, no you don't," said the operator.
"Oh, yea I do," replied the gentleman.
"The telegram was 60 cente, you know,"
and he handed over a half dollar and walked
oC,
" I'm into that fellow 50 cents," remarked
the operator to the bookstand keeper, "and
I can't make him see it."
"Not much," returned the bookstand
man. "He's into you 50 cents," and the
operator has been trying to figure it out ever
since.
Some Farmers' Wives.
It is the farmer's beys and girls who have
the largest share of public sympathy. Mrs.
Farmer is often considered a fixture, with no
hope or aim other than the worthy one of
accomplishing her dill routine of work. Yet
discontented farmer's wives do exiet, some
who, in moments of discouragement, sigh for
brick walls and city confusion, anything- to
break the monotonous stillness of their coun•
try lives. To ouch as these the unfailing
remedy to "think of our blessings," may
sound too much like preaching, and we mix
in a little worldly wisdom by proposing that
Mrs. Farmer shall indulge herself, so far as
convenient in any amusement or recreation
her nature craves.
Perhaps before her marriage there was
some innocent hobby that was a special de-
light. If so, bring out the paints and brushes,
bright crewels or fancy work. It will not
be a waste of time if they help to please
you. Do not let your voice or fingers get
out of practice; if you are the least bit
musical, cherish and add to whet you have
in that direction.
When a little girl you may have stood on
a chair and bravely recited your pieces at a
Sunday school concert. Are not your voice
and accent pleasing now to your family cir-
cle as you gather round tbe evening lamp?
Delightful little poems, gems of literature
and amusing sketches find their way into
homes through the papers. It is nice to have
a scrap -hook of them. Some evening when
"he" will be sure to say from his easy chair
or lounge, "Can't you read me short pieces ?"
you can readily turn to the scrap -book. The
children will be delighted if mother has a
"piece" to say. Should it be at some social
party or grange meeting she will be a heroine
in their estimation.
Let Mrs. Discontent plan with some of her
neighbors how to pass the winter evenings
pleasantly and profitably.
There is always latent talent in a farming
neighborhood, and some boy or girl may
catch the first inspiration from you. As man
is a social being you will feel much happier
than if repining at your loneliness.
If none of these suggestions suit your es-
pecial case, may you grasp the bits of happi-
ness that come to all who will not scornfully
refuse them.
Working for the interest of husband and
home will surely bring ite reward, while love
lightens the task. A dear old song sweetly
says :
e` There is beauty all around.
When there's'love at home."
The Girl Who is Suspicious.
She is the most uncomfortable girl to live
with in the world. She is as full of vanity
as a peacock,. or else she would not be think-
ing that everybody is interested in her. If
you ask an intimate friend a queetion that
she does'nt hear, she concludes you are
criticising her; if you know some people she
doean't know, and to whcm you don't care
to introduce her, she is certain it is because
you are jealous of her. She suspects that in
this world you get more kindness, more con-
sideration, and more attention than she does.
It is very likely that you do. Yieu are not
letting that green-eyed demon--jealousy-
crown your whole life, and so you are pleas-
anter to the people you meet. They like
better to be with you, and you do not an-
noy theni by continual wonderment aa to
I whether they are talking about you or not,
whether they aro thinking about you or not,
or whether they are commenting on you or

tience, or rather your impatience. J. W. SNELL.
That's the only complaint I have to make - - -- - - - -
against you -your neglect of the old people
in your zeal for everybody. I am aware
that old people are liable to become prosy
and tiresome to you. I know that Matthew
and Mercy, and James, and Prudence and
Joseph, and Samuel, naturally et tired of
poor, sighing Little Faith, aid groaning
old Despondency, and limping old Ready -
to -Halt. Even old Mr. Honest is some-
times a bit wearing and over -long in his
speeches, and Valiant -for -Truth is painfully
'Articular about little things. But they
seem to need you, and they certainly want
you.
I don't know how much or how little
young people need the old follke, but I do
know how the old folks want you. And
they not infrequently wants great deal more
than they get, which is one of the privileges
of old age. 1.
And, my little chiliren, wlvle the long,
prosy speeches of the old sainits make you
yawn in prayer -meetings, remember that it
makes the old saints frown -to hear you gig-
gle and see you whisper.
I knew a church where the young people
had their own prayer meetings. I had a
curiosity to attend, but was told the pres-
ence of Mr. Fearing and Little Faith threw
a restraint on the spirit of the meetings. So
the old folks kept up the regular prayer
meeting of that church. If ithere was a
man under forty who took part in it, you
never heard him. The fresh young faces,
the sweet young voices in the singing, the
faltering words of young disciples telling,
with tremulous utterance and broken sen-
tences, of hopes and fears, of conflict and
victory -all this the old folks missed. -

With all my heart do I endorse every ef-
fort the Church makes to secure the co-oper-
ation of your buoyant spirits, your progress-
ive ideas, your practical earnestness and
courage. Happy the church that is in such
a case. The chureh without a working as-
sociation of young people is a farm without
an orchard, a meadow without flowers or
bees, a grove without birds, a brook without
Hong, a harp without strings.
The young people are sunshine along the
" Way of the Pilgrimage." They bring
songs even unto the wearisome time of sow-
ing. How joyous, then, they will Make the
days of the harvest! They bring with them
the cheery inspiration of the morning. Their
beautiful works we know, and their sweet
charity ; their loving service and their child-
like faith '• their patience and again their
works. "Nevertheless, I have somewhat
against thee."
Does it ever occur to young people that it
is very *pleasant for them to flock by them-
selves ; to have their own societies to have
their own meetings; te work only with con-
genial and steadily pulling yoke fellows;
that there is a great deal of stryagth in such
aseociation ; and it leads to consecration and
that there is a heap of selfishness in it ?
Are you sure that that you flock together
because you can do so inuch more work by
yourselves, or because bhe old people make
you tired? Is it because your eeal outruns
the slow movements of the old people, or is
it a little bit because you can have so much'
better times by yourselves? Well, you do
