An old patterns& writing from Colorado Springs to his grandchildren, says: When I was a boy I lived with tny parents about one and one-half miles from a small village In Western New York. My parents being good Chrietian people, I early acquired the habit of church -going, and was a regular attendant of the Sabbath School as well. Let the weather he ever so cold and stormy nothing but sickness prevented the family --consitting of my parents, two older sisters and myself -from attending regularly every Sabbath ttvo preaching services, one in the forenoon and one in the afternoon, and Sabbath School between services. We did not have in those days, as you do now, warm, comfortable rooms to sit in during the time of preaching and Sabbath - school ; no fire in the church or any pro- visions made for one in those boyhood dap of mine. "Oh 1." you say, "1 don't think I should like to attend church, or Sabbath -school either, in a room with no fire especially in cold winter weather. How could you endure it?" I will tell you how. In the first place we were warmly clad in garments principally of home manufacture, and then we had what was called e foot -stove -a tin box, full of little holes, with a little door to open and shut, and over the box a wooden frame on which to put your feet. A smaller sheet -iron box, open at the top, was provided to slip inside the larger tin box. Just before start- ing for church, the little sheet -iron box was filled with great lire coals from the fireplace, a few ashes- put over the top, and then it was slid into its place, and the little stove was complete, put into the carriage or sleigh, and we were ready. At church the stove was passed from one to the other, and thus our feet were kept warm and comfort- able during the day. Being warmly clothed and our feet kept warrn'the rest of our person did not stiffer any from cold. . At Sabbetheichool we had for our lesson from seven to ten verses of Scripture, to be committed to memory and recited to our teacher. For a perfect lemon we had a cer- tain number of marks of credit; and for a certain number of credit marks, a certain number of cents, to be allowed to the edu- cation of heathen children. Once a year a report was read from the pulpit -the num- ber of perfect lessons each scholar had learned, and the amount he or she had con- tributed for the benefit of heathen children. I attended Sabbath -school from the titne I was old enough to learn a verse until I was old enough to go into the Bible class, I always had the same teacher and the same superintendent. They were both godly men and devoted to their work. Yon will not wonder, then, that after I had grown up, and had children of my own'I always re- tained a peculiar affection for those men while they lived; and now that they are occupying prepared mansions• above; their insular/ is yet dear to my heart. The lessons learned over fifty years ago are to -day fresh in my memory, and many a time have furnished food to my soul, when my body has been reduced by disease and racked with pain. Now, dear young friends, make the most of your opportunities while young: search the Scriptures diligently; store your minds with useful knowledge; and should any of you live to be old, you will find yourselves an possession of untold riches, which the world can neither give nor take away. That you may all grow up to be useful men and wornen is the prayer of GRANDFATHER B. A Continuous Complaint. The old gentleman was ever complaining about the tate houre his son-in-law kept. "I don't like it any better than you do," said the daughter and wife, "but you have always been finding fault with him, and I shrill defend him." "Finding fault,the mischief," replied the father. "I've never found fault with him till now." "Yes, you did, too," she sobbed. "Be- fore we were married you always growled because he didn't get out before 2 o'clock in the morning, and now you're growling because he doesn't get in before 2 o'clock in the morning," and she broke into a set of new sobs. Daisies Again. One of the prettiest stories ever told is as iollows When Lady Henry Somerset was four or five years old a ball was given at Buckingham Palace to be attended by none except the first born of peers. She went with her parents, the Earl and Countess of Somers. Being an independent little thing she strayed off from her guardians and went on a tour of observation through the great hall, and finally when Queen Victoria and Prince Albert left to go to the banquet table she seated herself on the cushioned seat the Queen bad vacated. She had on a white tulle dress with real daisies pinned or fasten- ed to it and a wreath of natural daisies rest- ed on her chestnut brown hair. When Queen Victoria returned, behold, the little girl was in her seat, whereat the Queen seemed quite amused and said, 11 And this is little Isabel." The child answered with quite a toss of her head, " This is Lady Isabel.') When Lady Henry was eighteen years of age she was presented at court and wore a white dress covered with naturel flowers as before. The Queen bent to kiss her fresh young cheek, as is the custom with the daughters of peers when they are pre- sented, and said, " Daisies again, Lady Isabel !" She had remembered the circum- stance of the ball -room all those years, in the midst of her greatly preoccupied life. - Union Signal. For His Health. He came to Texas for his health. Also, for that same reason he went away. The tray of it was thie : When the Wretch -his name was Reginald Crosswaite, but we I called him Wretch for short -left college , somewhere in the dusky East, his family de- cided that hard study had wrbught havoc *; with the poor fellow's health and forthwith sent him to try san-cure as only Texas fur- nishes it. As a matter of fact, he had studied nothing more serious than a •beautiful as- sortment of Bohn's oribs. His ill -health was due to causes not connected with the intend- ed routine of college life. 1 So the peaceful little community of Jim- ville, Texas, awoke one day to consciousness ;of the fact that it harbored Reginald Cros- twaite, Esq., gorgeous in store clothes and an English accent. Old man Bowman, who in some remote and inexplicable way was re- lated to the Wretch, and at whose house the latter staid, -expreeeed himself about the mew -coiner in the general atore one day. " He's a queer critter," he said, " an' I an't so pesky fond of him as I should be, he being kin o' mine. 1 doan't rightly under- stand his ways, mebbe, bein' brang up dif- ferent like, but I an't er hankerin' after seein' er chile er mine thateiway.” And that was, perhaps, the feeling of all o us there in Jimville.

You "German Syrup" For Coughs & Colds. John F. Jones, Edom,Tex.,writes: I have used German Syrup for the past six years, for Sore Throat, Cough, Colds, Pains in the Chest and Lungs, and let me say to any- one wanting such a medicine— Gernaan Syrup is the best. B.W. Baldwin, Carnesville,Tenn., writes: I have used your German Syrup in my family, and find it the best medicine I ever tried for coughs and colds. I recommend it to every • one for these troubles. R. Schtnalhausen, Druggist, of Charleston, Ill.,writes : After trying scores of prescriptions and prepara- tions I had on my files and shelves, without relief for a very severe cold, which had settled on my lungs, I t4ed your German Syrup. It gave me immediate relief and a perma- nent cure. G. G. GREEN, Sole Manufacturer, Woodbury, New Jersey, U S. A. face of the earth; when the mosquito trees shoot out their slender, knife-like leaves, and theecedars take on new fragrance, new color; when the soft, gentle balm of the south breeze induces a feeling of absolute rest -the person who can be in Texas then and not feel eomething of the joy of living where spring is so glorious, is not a person fit for decent society. But the Wretch never opened his month in praise of any- thing Texan. He only turned his nose and his trousers a little higher up and spoke unpleasant things about the "infernal mud." I think the Wretch had but few friends in Jimville. His cigars and his whiaky may have made him some friends among the sort of men who fawn on any one so he but "stand treat." Hie only amusement seemed to be riding. He generally rode to Maretown, the nearest post -office, and his face wore an almost happy look when he came back from there. We supposed he was getting letters from home. His way of riding the trot was a thing that Jimville laughed at. He said he was "riding Ehglish." We said the pony's name was Rube, and incidentally ventured that if be were to ride that way for days at a time his hide would be in shreds small enough to make saddle straps of. • Spring drifted away before the fierce sum- mer sun, and he was still with ns. And then the new schoolma'm came.- The old one bad been offered a school near Austin and had left us. She was an elderly, homely lady, and nobody paid much attention to her. But the new schoolma'm ! She was young and -so pretty. The blush of an Alexandria peach was on her velvety cheeks -how she kept her complexion in that climate is a mystery chimeric -and the glint of the cloudless, azure Texas sky was in her eyes. She was the daughter of a farmer in &neigh- boring township, and her name was Mamie Alwin. She hadn't taught school a week before all the children in the district were her very humble servants. Consequently site ruled the village. The Wretch evinced a sudden foPdness for pedestrianism after this. He used to happen by the schoolhouse in the most casual way just about the time that institu- tion of learning was letting out. Then he would walk home with Miss Alwin and carry her books and things. He used to talk very sweetly to her, I fancy, and she seemed to grow quite fond of him. Jimville looked on and swore to iteelf. There was no deny- ing it -the schoolma'm was falling in love with the Wretch. The man who swore loudest and most fer- vently at this state of things was Lariat Dick, the cowboy. He loved the schoolma'm since he first set eyes on her, but his rough, unpolished ways would not let him show his love except in the viistfulnees of his big eyes. He was a hard, uncultured fellow, used to an ungentle life, but he was honest as the day was long. Like all strong, home -keeping men, he venerated women with an almost childish fervor. One evening -the summer was already well advanced, and the Wretch and Mamie were in Jimville's eyes as good as engaged - Lariat Dick clattered past the outlying houses oi the village at a pace that betoken- ed something unusual. His pony wee cover- ed with sweat, and the man himself looked dark as a cloud. Be rode up to the general store, where at that time nearly all Jimville congregated. As he came in tbe storm -cloud on his face was not pleasant to look at. • Read that," he said to old man Bowman, handing him a letter, "read it out loud, so's you all kin hear it." Bowman took it, his hand trembling a little, and began to read. It was to the Wretch, from a girl in the East. It was an appeal that he return soon, that the twain might be married in July. ' How did you get it ?" asked Bowman, as he folded the paper up again. "1 was up to Marstown," said Lariat Dick, " layin' in stores EO'S 1 could put my freight for the .Jacinto ranch at sunup. There I meets a pard, Jack Peters, as has punched cows with me some frequently. Me and him goes into the Red Front to kinder foster old recollections, an' who should I see there but ye're eastern tenderfoot, Cros- waite. He's kinder mellow, bein' some drinks ahead. Jack an' me is a-etandin' there tradin' lies quite gaily when I hears Croswaite say : Here's to the beet girl in the country, as I'm goin' to marry !' which I drinks to likewise,me thinkin' as he means our schoolmaxm. 'Yes,' he goes on, 'pretty soon I makes'. tracks for home and gets mar- ried. See, she says July.' An' with that he sights a letter to me, which of course I reads. When I gets the how of it rounded up in my head, I knocks the scoundrel down without argument. Then I rides for here. An' now, what's this ranch goin' to do ?" After this flow of eloquence Dick waited, lowering and expectant. We had weighed the matter already while he was speaking. In the land where the Wretch came -from, we thought, it might be quite a usual thing to be engaged to one girl and make love to another, but we wouldn't have it so in Jim- ville. And before the breath, exhausted by Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria don't want me worse than we wantsyou. I've bin cut out of a herd to sort o' hold an ex- perience meetin' with you. Now, what I asks of you, you answers to. Savy ?" The Wretch made a quick motion to his hip. But in a moment a dozen more pistols ware leveled at him. " No' " went on Dick, " you- can't buck none. Now answer. Air you mimed to be hitched to a girl back east ?" "1 am," came sullenly from between the clenched teeth. "Dos. our schoolmarm know it ?" dig N0.44 Haven't you made love to her ?" "That depends on what you cattle call making-" "None of that now. Quick. Have you ?" There was an ominous click in tbe still- ness. • " Well -yes." "Then," Dick's voice rose to a fierceness and a thunder that was awful in that small room, "you leave Jimville and Texas in twenty-four hours, or we fills you so full of lead that you'll weigh heavier than your sin. You needen't stop to tell Miss Alwin; we'll do that. Now-git." The Wretch slunk out. In a few minutes we heard the steady hoof -heats of his pony, first strong,, then fainter and fainter. Reginald Croswaite had parsed out of our lives. Next day Lariat Dick "pulled his freight" after an interview with the schoolma'am that left her all a -tears and him with a set look on his face that seemed like the look of a broken man. He was always a reckless rider; it grew on him after that. They brought him home one day -on a shutter. Miss Alwin wept a little, just as any woman would, but no more. And she never mar- ried. -J.

How many men have succeeded in life to wbom not a single circumstance was kind. How often we hear_peOple say of sone worthless fellow : "Ah, well, he never had half a chance 1" But there are plenty of boys who have come to the front in life's battle who never had even a quarter of a chance. Take Thomas Boll, the sculptor, for in- stance, says the Youth's Companion. He was but twelve years old when his father died. The poor widow, Thomas' mother, young herself, and far from strong had five children. There was no more school for Thomas after his father's death, he must go to work and help support the rest. He got a place in a grocery store, where they gave him one dollar a week. Not much, that, but what a difference it made to a poor little family! From the time he was twelve, young Ball always had to work for the others until they were grown up. ' He had little instruotion even in his art and he never had that little until after he had earned the money to pay for it. But - he succeeded. Then there was that other sculptor, Hiram Powers. Hiram was the eighth of nine children, and be was a very small boy when his father died, and like Ball, he had to go to work.for the family. He bad been born in Vermont, but his parents had moved out to Ohio in that way poor people have of roaming hither and thither after better luck. It was in Ohio that the father died and in Ohio that Hirem fought his youthful battle. For seven years he had charge of the wax figures in a Cincinnati museum, and it was while there that he felt an impulse towards his future art and tried his 'prentice hand at modelling in slay. But it was not until be was thirty years old that he was at liberty to strike for him- self, and he was thirty-two years of age be- fore he had money enough to go to Italy. Yet he was to be the sculptor of the" Greek Slave." Peter Cooper, who founded the Cooper Institute, bad a still harder struggle, be- cause as a boy his health wen of the frail- est. Be went to school but one year of his life, and during that year he could only go every other day. But when he was eight years old he was earning his living by pull- ing hair from the skins of rabbits hie father shot, to make hat pulp. He had not `• halt a chance." It seemed almost literally that be had no chance at all. He went to New York when he was seventeen years old to make his fortune. He walked the streets for days before he got a place, and then apprenticed himself to a carriage -maker for five years for his board and $2 a month. He had neither time nor moneyfor what people call pleasure, but he had the pleasure of hope. While he was working for 50 cents a week he said to himself, "If I ever get rich I will build IA place where the poor boys and girls of New York may have an education free." And he did it. Wm. Hunt, the painter, used to say : "Don't tells of what you want to do -do it." -Ladies' Home Journal. At Hampton Court. Two American women last summer went one day from London to Hampton Court, and epetit the morning in the gardens of the old palace there. At noon they repaired to a neighboring inn for their luncheon. The waiter apologized for some trifling delay by saying that a party of thirty shop -girls. from Whiteley's, on their Saturday's outing, had unexpectedly just ordered luncheon. The Americans, annoyed at the corning of what they supposed would be a noisy party, wished they had gone to some other house; but it was too late now, their luncheon had been ordered. They were in a front room which over- looked the gardens of the palace. It was a sunny June morning, so still that they could hear the wind rustling tbrough the branches of the great oaks in the avenues, and the bees buzzing in the roses which climbed up outside of the window. One or two old gen- men were busied with their meal and news- paper in the room, but no one spoke. The quiet was almost profound. Thia is very restful and pleasant," said one of the Americans, "bub we muit hurry away. Think of thirty giggling, shrieking girls out on a holiday! When do the young women come ?" she added, turning to the waiter. "They are here, madam," he said. "They are in that room," pointing to an open door eovered with a lace portiere. The strangers looked at each other with an expression almost of incredulity. They listened, and a moment later heard the hum of gentle voices, of which not a word could be distinguished. The mystery was easily explained. The shop -girls were in the habit of dealing with English gentlewomen of the better class, and imitating them, had caught their low, controlled habit of speech. "If our women would but learn it !" ex- claimed one of the strangers. "Imagine thirty American giris out on a holiday! The clatter of voices ! The shrill burste of Ittughter ; the shrieks and screams !" This little incident is a literal fact which is worthy of the consideration of girl read- ers. Our climate gives to all of our voices certain high nasal tones. The training of the voice in speaking is unfortunately neglected in America, except among the most carefully educated people: Hence the American in Europe is known as soon as he opens his mouth by his shrill, strident tones.
