"It is a miracle," said another. But when the boldest . of them mounted the stairs to the organ -loft he stood as if petri- fied with amazement. There was the tiny figure, treading from pedal to pedal, and at the same time clutching at the keys above with his little hands, gathering handfuls of those wonderful chords as if they were violets, and flinging them out into the sol- emn gloom behind him. He heard nothing, saw nothing besides ; his eyes beamed, and his whole face lighted up with impassioned joy. Louder and fuller rose the harmonies, streaming forth in swelling billows till at last they seemed to retch a sunny shore, on which they broke'; and. then a wbispering ripple of faintest melody lingered &moment in the air' like the last murmur of a wind - harp, andall was still.

' People; who 'Have Lost Money. 1 "Of coarse Iiinow that I am poor," said a very popular although an impecunious so- ciety woman, "but, some way or other, I cannot fee poor." ' "That is the reason you are such a suc- cess," comMented her friend. - "Mrs. Bal. lion said the other day that you were the only womai she knew who did not bore her with your troubles, and that was the reason she liked you so much." Those who are not well off,as a rule,make their straitened -circumstances too obvious, and people:who have lost money retire from the world when there is really no reason why they should do so. They "take a back seat," and pf course are not urged to come forward; ibut if they had remained in the frontnp one would have questioned their right to be there. It is not beoeseary to spend much or en- tertain in oader to maintain a position once you have acquired it. All you have to do is to be agreeable, and not let society see that you are wbrried. Society is good-na- tured if you. do not exact sympathy, and is disposed to 'be friendly to its members who have lost their money if they are plucky and cheerful about it, and continue to go about. Of course, if people are morbid, and avoid their former associates, the latter eanhot be expected t� hunt them up; but if they lose their Mende it is, in nine cases out of ten more the fault of the people themselves than of their former associates. Vanity Fair has no time to look after those who fall by the wayside, but people make a mistake in thinking Om ostracises her citizens simply because they are poor. It is the concomitants of poverty that she objects to—the shabbi- ness, the lolv spirits, and, above all, the pride which apes humility, which is more boring than Etnythineelse. • I A Boy who Became Famous. A boy, only six years old, was sailing with his father down the Danube. All day long they had been sailing past crumbling 'ruins, frowning castles, cloisters hid away among the erags, answering cliffs, quiet villages nestled in sunny valleys, and here and there a deep gorge that opened back from the gliding river, its hollow distance blue with fathomless shadow, and its lone- liness and stillness stirring the boy's heart like some din and vast cathedral. They ' stopped at night at a cloister, and the father took little Wolfang into the chapel to see the organ. It was the -first large organ he had ever seen, and his face lit up with delight and every motion ani attitude of his figure eipressed a wondering rever: ence. . "Father," Said the boy, "let me play 1" Well pleased, the father complied. Then Wollaug pushed aside the stoo4 and when his father had Ailed the great bellows'the elfinorganist stood,upon the pedals. How the deep tones wake the sombre sallness of the old chure 1 The organ seemed some great uncoutl4 creature, roaring -for very joy -at the care sea of the marvelloas child. The monks, eating their supper , in the -refectory, heard it and dropped knife and fork in astonishment. The oiganist of the i DOCTORS COULD NOT AGREE AS TO THE TROUBLE. A New Brunswick Lady the Victim—Suffer- ed for Thirty Years—The Attack caused Partial Blindness and a Feeling of Semi -Paralysis. From the Woodstock, N. S., Sentinel. Mrs. E. P. Ross, of Riley Brook, sN. B., says I have been a sufferer for thirty years, and I am sure I would still be in the same lamentable condition had it not been for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was mar- ried at the age of twenty and am now fifty- one years old. I had always enjoyed good health until after my first child was born. About a month later the illness attacked me which has since made my life miserable. I consulted different dodoes, but they did not agree as to the nature of- my trouble. One said it was a species of paralysis, others said symptoms of fits. I would be feeling very well when I would suddenly have a sensation of partial blindness, and every- thing before me would sparkle. Then my hand and arm du one side would become numb, and Niter about ten minutes this sen- sation would pass to my lower limbs, then ue would become affeeted, as would hearing. Voices, no matter how me would seem dim and far away. These symptoms would last for about forty minutes. I would have a violent pain aver the eyes, which Would continue for twelve my to also m close t 11.11411 Is ,14 0 in j i% Larre.re are---a-earei , - Icl!irK,/i (hill.

It is so pleasant to philosophize, land it gives one such Satisfaction to display one's power of discernment. Men will talk an hour and a half on why or how a thing should be done, but will not spend fifteen minutes trying to do it. If talk was worth anything, such wonders woald have been accomplished in this old wild that we would have had the milleninm long ago. But talk is cheap. It is the man who "save nothing but saws wood," who *room- . plishes most, for himself and others. The man who minds his business, whether he drives a soap grease cart or controls a rail- way syndicate, is doing more for this world than a million of loud -mouthed philosophers that blather about "prospects," whether from the lofty eminence of a work bench or from the calm seclusion:of a bank desk.

His friend showed him some Of the principal ' sights of the town, and amongst thembe took him to see andget a ride in a cable car. When they got to it he was told to be quick and 'jump on. "Na, na," says the farmer, "nae hurry, the horse is no yoket yet." - ' —" And what did Georgesay, when he proposed ?" asked Ethel. He said notk- - ing, replied Maud; " he started to say something, gasped, turned deathly pale, and then fainted away. Of course I knew what thatmeant—so when he came to I told him he might ask papa." "Then poor George fainted away again." ' 1 —In a Scotch village a minister's son Was going out to the shooting.

Notwithstanding all that was done for me, these spells were coming more frequently, and at last I would some- times have two attaeks a day. I was also troubled with bronchitis which added to my misery. I oould not sew or knit, or do any work that required close attention to ib All this trouble had never left me for years and at the age of 48 I consulted another doctor. The medicine he gave me,however, made me worse instead of better. Then I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I was using the third box beforeI found any benefit, but then there was a decided change. By the time I used twelve boxes I felt as well as I did in my young days. Ev- ery symptom of the trouble that had BO long made my life miserable disappeared. For eighteen months I did tiot use the pills, and,was as well As ever I had been in my life. Then one morning I felt a slight at- tack of the old trouble and determined to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills again. I got a box and took an occasional pill and have never since had a symptom of the trouble. To say that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done wonders for me is putting it mildly, and I strongly urge their use on all who may be ill. Pink Pills were also of 'great benefit to a niece of mine, Miss Effie J. Everett. ller mother died when she was quite young, and naturally much of the Care of the house- hold was upon her e as she grew up she be- - came tveak, may tired, subject to head- aches and her complexion was pale and wax like. A young lady teacher who 'Was board- ing with the family, and who had used Pink Pills with great success urged her to try them. The result was that she soon was enjoying the best of health, and is a fine, robust young lady who shows no traces of her former illness. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure beagoing W the root of the disease. They renew and build up the blood,and strengthen the nerves, thus driving disease from the sys- tem. Avoid imitations by insisting that every box you purchase is enclosed in a wrapping bearing the full trade mark, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. • For Jawsmiths. If men would do less talking about the crops and attend to the business that is at their doors, trade would-' look up. This habit of jawing about prospects has grown up- on us until every old bum in the country philosophizes, looks wise and calculates the amount of money that will be put into cir- culation when the crop begins to "move." Half the people now -a -days expect a good crop to collect their bad accounts, sell their worn out stock and in many ways • Be not Righteous Overmuch. . We knew a man who had the habit of putting "(oil willing" on the postals he sent out to the trade, announcing that he would call on them on or about a certain date. Occasionally a Scripture text graced these and other little missives. It may have been merely a coincidence, but this individal was one of the narrowest, raeanest men it was one's lot to have met, and our estimate of him was pretty generally shar- ed by those who had business dealings with him. A prominent man showed the writer an application for a situation received the other day from a young man who headed - each page with a text That young man is still without a job. There is nce plethora of genuine righteousness, but there is an awful surplus of the kind that looks for trade and preferment through donning its garb: The man, with one hand on the Bible and°. the other clutching his neighbor's throat or in.his pocket, are more menace to Christian- ity than all the atheists on earth and the devils in hell. What the world does re- spect is goodness and a man does ndt need to quote Scripture texts to convince people he has the right kind. I would rather know what a man's wife or employees think of him, or hear what the travellers say of him who sells him goods, than get my ideas from his certificate of church membership. It is in the home, store, warehouse or fac- tory that the teat of goodness is found. Charles Dickens, when asked to address a large boys' school in Boston some year ago, when visiting the Hub, arose and eaid, amidst impressive silence, " Boys, be good," and sat down. Oh 1 for that goodness which, like the precious oint- Anent, fills the sarrounding atmosphere with its fragrance, and turns the arid desert into a garden of tames. • A Scotch Home. A poor peasant on the Scotch coast had an ,unusually large brood of children, seven of them boys, and little indeed could be do tor them. He labored early and late in the .fields and contrived to keep the wolf from the door, but that was all. There was never a shilling to spare and the farmer's life was a hopeless exhaueting struggle against pov- erty and adversity. The , mother, too, worked early and late with all the cocking, washing, and house - held drudgery of the humble home. There were many to clothe as well as a to feed, and so scanty Were the schooling facilities on lonely stretch of coast that she herself taught the boys one by one to read and write. If there had been girls among the older children she would have had help in the household. Hersdaughters were this young- est of the flock, and only 'added to her cares when she was least able to endure them. Weary -and overworked as this woman was, she was alwaya the light and life of the household. It was a happy home be - /muse it was brightened by her cheerfulness and contentment. When there was a boy old enough to read a book aloud there was entertainment for the family while she was sewing, and she tought her ehildren to sharpen their wits by keen argument, and,above all, to think for themselves. • Then, too, this- Scotch mother, while not a trained musician; had a ,deep. rich "voice and a stirring way of singing old-fashioned hymns. Oa Sunday evenings the Bible would be read aloud, and then ,she would sing one hymn after another, while her brawny Scotch lads listened with eagerness and enjoyed the treat 'so keenly that they often complained.because Sunday came only once a week. The brood of children left the home nest one by one, and the mother died premature- ly because of overwork and anicietfr. But she lived anew in the boys as they became successful men in various professions and callings; for although at the outset they were poor and had little education' they had her buoyant, hopeful nature andher fine qualities of maid. One of them was a soldier and was mort- ally wounded in a toreign eampaign. The chaplain in the hospital told him that he had only a few hours of life in reserve' and asked him if he had any religious faith. "I have never had anything else," he repli- ed. "I can hear my good mother now singing her Sunday -night hymns on the Scotch coast."

He would have had a larger income if it had not heen for a striking pecularitte He invariably threw up a case when he was con- vinced that there was no justice in it. "I. like to thing of my dear old Scotch mother," he would say, "when I plead a ease in court." Another was an earnest preacher. One Was a doctor with a metroplital practice. Three were successful merchants and one was a high-minded publisher. All were richly endowed with their mother's courage and mental reiources, and all shared her deep, religious nature. In many a temptation and crisis they re- called her face shining in the winter fire- light of their old home, and the 'hymns she had sung, ia which she had expressed. the religious devotion that had governed her life and the tender, unfailing love a mo t her's heart. What Followed. • The old Minister closed the book and looked aroand the ohtirch. "You are 'told," he said, "when you make a feast to 'call to it net your rich neighbors, but the poor, theenaimed andalhe blind. I want each of yon when you go home to consider what God has given to you beside food with which to make a feast,. and who are the poor folks eirhom you should bid to it." People glanced smiling at each other, for the good man was fall of queer suggestions. But the idea remained in the minds of his hearers. „ It bothered Phil Dorrance as he sat alone in his room. Phil was the blacksmith's son, whom' his %tiler by dint of hard work and saving, 1..(1 sent to college. He was grateful to him father, but he felt that his education had made a great gulf between him and the old man. His companions were his classmates. He had meant te spend - this afterneon with some of them, discuss- ing a paper' he had written on the history of his natiVe state. Instead, he took it down stairs to the kitchen, where his father and mother in their Sunday clothes sat nod- ding over the fire. I want to read you something I have written," he said, cheerfully. They drew up their chairs, their eyes sparklir er with pride and delight, and list- tened with a keen, shrewd intelligence that surprised him. They were able, too, to correct smile mistakes that he had made, and to give him some facts new to him. "1 haven't had such a pleasant day for years, Phil," said the old man when the paper was finished. His old mother said nothing, bat kissed him, her eyes full of tears. So the minister's qu ,stion was answered. • It is She. The moee we study She the more we don't understand how it is that She is able to twist us around her little finger -whenever She feels like it. But She is. For whom is it that in childhood's haPpy 'days we fight with a boy three sizes larger than ourselves, and get so severely punished that we cant sit up for* week ? Why, for She—and She only laughs at us for our pains. Who is it that devours all our spare change in the shape of costly sweets'and calla for more— and gets them, too? She. For whom do we linger at stage doors with two guinea bouquetsl to purchase which we have to, endure a fortnight's martyrdom at lunch time? She. Who, we ask, is it' that, when we employ hereto typewriter, spells summer with one m and February with one r, and yet escapes without iensure? It is She. aLh, yes. It is She ! Who is it that ae- cepts our theatre tickets, our ibouquets and our devotion, and then goes off and marries another fellow? She—and for this we ought to forgive her a good deal.
