lug girls like a wolf into a Ilock‘of lambs.

“Iiifollled5’tiiem ‘up with the dress mad-
ame,” said Flora Fay,an innocent, blue—eyed
young girl, recently from the country, who
stood, in an unconsciously graceful attitude
before the fat and florid dressmaker.
“Then you are :a goose for your pains,”
shortly retorted Madame Molini, as she un-
fas‘teneddiie parcel, abstracting the piece of
glistening uncut silk, and whisked it away
upon a shelf. , “Two yards and a half isn’t
much, but it is~better than nothing.”
Flora Fay opened her innocent blue eyes
wide.”
“What is she going to do with it?” she
asked Miss Fox in a whisper, as Madame
rustled off to scold the errand boy for putting
too much coal on the grate-fire.
“Don’t you know, little silly?” whispered
Miss Fox, laughing. It’s what she cabbages!”
“Cabbages ?” repeated Flora in amazement.
“I don’t understand you.”
"You will, when you see the mode silk
made up into a sleeveless basque for Mad-
ame,” said the other, trimmed with the gimp
that was left from Mrs. Aubrcy’s dinner dress
and the pearl fringe from Miss Osset's white,
damassa ball costume.”
“But you don‘t mean,” said breathless
Flora, “that. madame takes the silk that is left
from the customers’ dresses?”
“Goosic i” cried Miss Fox, "don’t talk non-
sense any longer. “It’s what every fashion-
able dresst. alter does, and— ,
“There’s the reception room bell,” shril-
ly called madame. Miss Fay, answer it at
once l” _
Harry Drake was standing in the pretty
room, all glistening with satin drapery,
gilded mouldings and huge- mirrors, when
Flora came in—Harry Drake, the young son
captain. who boarded at the same quiet and
inexpensive boarding house where Flora was
allowed a hall bedroom at a reasonable rate,
on account of Mrs. Dobbs having once
boarded a fsumm'er'at the old Fay farmhouse
up fruiting theBerkshire hills,'lind still re-
taining a kind recollection of Mrs.‘ Fey's
kindnessduring an illness which overtook her
there.
“Oh, Miss Fay, is it you ?" said Henry.
“Do you work hare ?” Upon my word you
seem to be in very comfortable quarters.”
“But I don’t stay here all the while,” said
Flora, noting, how his glance wandered from
gliding to fresco, Axminster carpet to bronze
chandelier. “I sew in a little dark room,
where there is a trifling smell of coal gas and
no carpet on the floor.”
“I‘ve come for a. dress," said Captain
Drake, plunging aheadlong into the subject.
after the fashion of‘men in general—“my
sister’s dress. She is to be married next
week, and some of her friends coaxed her to
have her dress made here. Miss Fortesquc
“she’s only my half-sister, you know,” in
answer to Flora’s look of questioning sur-
prise; “but she’s very nice, and is going to
marry well, I hepe."
It’s the mode—colored dress,” said Flora,
with brightening eyes. “I helped to trim it
myself. Yes, it’s all ready.”
And presently madame scams smiling in,
with the bill, and the dress folded nearly in
a white‘pastéboard' box, and Captain Drake
departed 'with a‘ dim idea that Madame Mm
lini perfectly comprehended the art of high
charges. .
Miss Fortesque herself came the next day.
She was a young lady not lacking ibquict
resolution. She knew her rights, and was
prepared to defend them. -. ‘
“Where is the material I sent?” said she
to Miss Fox, who was in attendance in the
reception room. “It is not all made up in the
dress. I had purchased enough for a new
waist and sleeves, but it is not here."
“You must be mistaken,” said Miss Fox,
with an aspect of polite imassibility. “The
bias. puffs ;.' and folds cut up the material
shockingly, and—3?
But at this moment little Flora Fay, who
was packing some tulle capes-and finches into
a bandhox, at the back of,the room, rose and
came forward, with deepening color.
“There lire two yards and a half of the
mode-colored silk, Miss Fox,” she interrupted
—~”don’t you remember ?~—on the shelf in the:
back room.” '-
Miss Fox colored and bit her lip.‘ ‘,
Madame Molini, with ominously darkened
face, twitched the two yards and a-half of
silk 0!! the shelf, folded it into a paper, and
handed it to Miss It‘ortesque, muttering
something ohout a mistake made by one of
her young women; and the young lady
departed, a little dubious as to whether or
not the fashionable dressmaker had intended
to cheat her. ~
' What do you think of it, little girl?
the, past summer.
She had hardly closed the door behind»
her. however, whenMadame Molini turned ‘
upon poor Flora Fay, with a. scarlet spot
glowing in each cheek, and lips closely com-
pressed.
“Young woman,” said she, f‘you are ‘dis-
charged 1” _ , ‘
“Discharged!” echoed Flora.
What?” ' ' '
“I want no one in my service,” said mad-
ame, “who is too conscientious to fulfill my
wishes. You haveintermeddled.unwarrant-
ably in the matter. of that silk, and I repeat
you are no longer in my employment!”
80 poor litflFlora went crying home,with
“For
~_ a vague comprehension that she had been
‘ discharged because shci‘ba'l spoken out the
truth.
It was nearly :1 fortnight afterward that
Captain Drake noticed the absence of Miss
Fay from the table at the boarding house.
“Is your little blue-eyed ledger ill, Mrs.
Dodds f" he asked. “-I don’tthinkfhave
seen her of late.”
“No, she’s not ill,” said the‘ landlady.
“That is to say, not exactly sick. But she
will heart she don’t look out. She's boarding
her elf, Captain Drake, on bread and crack:'
ers, and such like, poor dear! and wasting
awhy like a little shadow, because she’s lost
her situation at the dress-making place.
And she .won’t, run in debt, she says. not
even for a meal of victuals. Ah ?” the
good woman added, “Ican remember when
she was the pet and darling of the old folks
at home, before they lost their all, running
about among the daisies and buttcrcups like
a sunbeam.”
“But how did she come to lose her place I”
asked Captain Drake. , 1 . ‘
And Mrsi Dodtlb, who liked to hear the:
sound of her ofin 7. voice, told 'lh‘é‘ .whOle’
story. ‘
f‘It's a shame i” cried the Captain.
“Just what I said myself,"., nodded the
landlady. ‘ . -:
And the next day Miss Fortcsque (who
wflsTMrs. Arkwright now) came to see Flora
“It was all my fault.” said she with af-
fectionate vehemenee “that you lost your
situation—Fahd oh, if you would only come
and stay with me, and help me with the sow-
ing for my new house. I should esteem.“
such a favor! W0uld you please It”. 3
-- Are you quite sure that I can make myself.
useful ?” said Flora, ailittle hesitatingly. ‘ 5?
“Yes, quite,” said Mrs. Arkwright.
And in the sunny atmosphere of the bride’s
pretty home, the young country girl seemed
to expand into a different creature. Captain
Drake, the most. devoted brother in the. world
came there nearly every day ; andllttlé Flora
all unconscious of her own feelings, began to
watch for his dizi‘ly visit as thc'hé‘lititropc-
blasso watches the sun. .
Until, at last, there‘ was talk of another
long voyage to Japan, and then "Fiora'grew
pale and nervous again.
” “IL—I have been here long enough,” she
said. “If I go to the Exchange Bureau they
will perhaps tell me of a new situation. And
I need a change.“ . i‘ ' "
But Captain Drake wont straight'to. the
root of the matter. ‘
“Flora," said be, “are you unwilling that
I should sail to dedo,?”
“I always had a horror of the sen,” whis-
pered Flora, hanging down her pretty head.
“But of course, Captain Drake, you must do
as you please ” '
“Yes, of course,” he answered, absently;
and when he was gone, Flora shed a few
quiet tears over the table linen she was hem-
ming for Mrs. Arkwright. ,
“How bold and unmaidonly it is of me,"
she thought, “to let myself care for a man
who does not think twice of me! If he had
cared one iota for me, would he not have said
so then .9”
But the next evening, at dusk, Captain
Drake saunter-ed in with that swinging gait
of his, as if he were still treading the deck of
anoutward-bound vessel.
”Don’t run away, Flora,” said he, as the
girl caught up her work, and prepared for a
precipitate retreat.
“Did—did you want to speak tome .9” she
faltered, with downcast eyes.
“Don’t I always want to speak to you?
Sit down, Flora,” said he, “and hear what
I’ve been planning," '
“Now it is 'eom‘ing," thought: Flora, with
a sick feeling at her heart. “He is going to
be married, and he is coming to tell me so.”
“I have decided to give up the seafaring
business,” said Captain Drake.
“Have you?” fluttered Flora, faintly, “I
am so glad.”
"And I’ve bought a farm in Connecticut,”
he went on—“the old Berkshire farm, Flora,
where you were born and broughkup. I’mx
I’m going to be a farmer!”
She looked at him, the rose and lily fol-
lowing ,each other across her cheeks.
“0 1” she cried, involuntarily, “if I could
only see the dear old place once more!”
“But -I won’t go there to live,” said the
Captain, determinedly, "unless you willgo
there with me, Flora, as the farmer’s wife!
Shall it
be a partnership ?"
And when Mrs. Arkwright came in, the
papers Were all sealed, signed and delivered;
the “partnership” was a foregone conclusion.
“I don’t know how I shall succeed as a
farmer,” said Captain Drake, to his "sister;
“But if little Flora here is only with me,
there’s nothing in all the world that I haven’t
the courage to undertake.” ,
And when Mrs. Arkwright took Flora’s hand
in hers, she whispered:
“I think I am the happiest creature in all
the wide world to-night. Because, dear Mrs
Ark wright, he loves ms.”-—Helan Forest

Something),. to Live for.
It has been asserted by scientific surgeons
that the will-power of a sick man has a
great deal to do with his dying, and the ease
of Charles ’O’Counor is cited as evidence.
A still stranger case occurred in Michigan
An old man, living in the
northern puff of the State, got out a lot of
timber many years ago for a toll-road com-
pany, but the company failed and left him in,
the lurch.
For years and years he tried to sell the
timber to this one or that, but no one wanted
it, and atlasttime and decay rendered the
beams almost worthless. Last summer the
supervisors of that company advertised for
proposals to build a bridge, and the old man
put in a bid. While waiting to see what
would be done he was taken very sick, and
he grew worse so rapidly that a council of
doctors was held. After due deliberation he
,was'informed that he was approaching his
end. ,
“When will I know about that bridge?”
he coolly asked.
"The bids will be opened to day."
“Well, l’ll send-Iohn over to see who gets
the job. and my living or dying will depend
on his news.”'
At five o’clock in the afternoon the son
and the family physician arrived in company.
The old man was neither better or worse.
“Well," he asked, as John approached.
“Our bid was accepted, father.”
“And we’ve got the job f”
“Y93. but the doctor says, you can’t
live. "
“I can’t eh? I'm not only going to live
to build that bridge but I'm going to work
that square timber into it up to the last foot,
or my name isn’t John‘Rogers.”
it is a lack-vouched for by a dozen good
men, that he was off that dying bed in a
Week, and in less than a fortnight he was at
work on the bridge—Detroit Free Press.

Bonnor’s Pet Horses.
A vrsrr 'ro ms CELEBRATED STABLES AT
rannvrowiv.
The stables of Mr. Robert Bonner, at his
farm near Tarrytcwn, New Jersey, were
visited recently by .3 reporter of the New
York Tribune. In :the course of the drive
out from Tarrytown, Mr. Bonner was asked
how it happened that he began to get to-
gether such a fine collection of animals, and
he explained it in this wise : “ About twenty-
tlvo years ago I was in very poor health—all
run down. My physician told' me to get a
horse and try driving. I did so; and have
been a most enthusiastielover of the exercise
ever since. I never bill on n horse-race or-
allow my horses to tl‘ot'ftir money. Eatery-L
body knows that. For this reason the time
made by my horses since they have been in
my possession is not a technical record, that
being only obtained when a horse trots in
public for money. I set out to mom that
a man can own and drive fast-horses without
making ti gambler of himself. Mr. Beecher
said to me o'nce: ‘Mr. Bonner, as long as
you don’t bet, your position is as firm it's the
everlasting hills.” . . ,
As Mr. Bonnet-“rind the reporter were
whirled around the course, Mr. Bonh‘er
pointed out some of his horses that wore
roaming about the fields.
“There,” said be, pointing to a dejected
looking animal which stood with drooping
head in the lee of the barn, “ that is Flatbush
Maidi” She” is "thirty years ‘old, and not
ready to die yet by any means. But all her
triumphs are over, poor old mare. In May,
1862, Flatbush Maid trotted with Lady Pal-
mer at the Fashion Course two miles in
)5:01%." The mare, as if she knew that her
record was being canvassed, kicked up her
heels and went scampering over the field.
A tour of the stables was now made. All
. along the front of the buildings are sliding
doors, and each door opens into a roomy
compartment, each horse having one of these.
to himself. “ This,” said Mr. Bonner, as a
groom rolled back one of the doors, “is
Daisy Darling}; She has trotted in 2:10 to a
aulky."~ Thebfuxt animal visited-was Minnie
3.. . “There,” said the oWner,’ ‘.‘ this? to
probably the fastest mare of her size in the
world. She has trotted a quarter in thirty-
,two seconds, and would beat the record if
she could hold out, but you see she is not
large enough. She has too much speed for
her small body. But see the muscles of
these flanks. Here are the driving wheels.
See how finely formed, yet how strong they
crowu‘cf her hip down to her tail.” she‘ did;
indeed, seem an animal built for great speed,
and the only pity was that there wasn’t more
of her. 'Minnie B. first saw the light in 1868,
and is therefore fourteen years old. She is
in excellent condition, and age has not yet
stolen the vigor from her limbs. Erie, the
first three-year-oid that ever trotted a mile in
2:281}, is stablsd next to Minnie B. He has
trotted in 2:21 on Mr. Bonner’s track. In
' tone of the compartments was a brown more
that, looked around inquiringiy as the door
slid back. “This is Manetta," said Mr.
Bonner. “She has made the fastest two
miles with running mate ever made. having
trotted that distance in_4:27.1,~." - p .
This remarkable feat was accomplished on
Saturday, November 11th, Marietta being
hitched to a road wagon, with 'Longman as
running mate. The trial was on Mr. Bonner’s
track. The first mile was made in 2:14},
and the second in 22125}. - ‘
Nutbourne, a gray stallion with a record
of 2:265, sired by Belmont, a son of the dam
of Maud 8., and Russell, :1 two-year-old full
sister to Maud 8., were next visited. Edwin
Forrest received the vislitors very kindly,
but objected to being patted or touched in
any way. He had a record and he knew it.
Consequentlya disagreement ensued between
him and Mr. Bonner. The animal at last
gave in, and his good points Were freely ad-
mired.‘ Then Mr. Bonner led the way to
Longman, a horse by the sire of Longfellow,
and having the same granddam. Any one
interested in geneology can figure out his
relationship at his leisure. “ W3 call him
Longman because he has such a long body,”
said Mr. Bonner. “ Horses very often get
their names from physical characteristics.
Old Harper, down inKentucky, who owned
the great thoroughbred, Longfellow, never
heard of the poet until the horse had made a ,
reputation."
The famous Rarus occupies 9. compartment
similar to the others. The first thing that
one' notices about Burns is the immense
power in his muscular flanks, the steep slope
from hip to tail, and the look of determina-
tion in his eyes. “The beauty of Rsrus,"
said Mr. Bonner, “is that he can always be
depended on._ Other horses are uncertain,
but Rarus always puts forth all the speed
there is in him. He has trotted a mile in
2:13 on my three-quarter mile track here,
which is equal to 2:105} on a mile track."
One of the grooms led out into the stable.
yard 21 large yearling colt. “ I rim trying an
experiment with this colt,” said Mr. Bonner.
“ Before the colt was weanéd I used to have
the mother brought in from the pasture every
night and given six quarts of cats. I have
had him fed abundantly since he has learned
to eat. gYou see the result is the fine large
animal he has made. He ‘wei‘gns 1,052;
pounds. Many \other horses were visited,
among them Keen J im‘vilh a record of
2:19}; Malice, a full sister to Manetta, with
a record of 2:19;, and Convoy, who has been
driven by Murphy two miles in 4.315%. The.
stallion Eldredge, who has trotted in 2:22,
has never been outside the farm gate. Startle
is the first trotter that ever turned Fleetwood
Course a mile in 2:19. He has trotted half a
mile in 1:04;.” In speaking of the develop-
ment of speed in trotting horses Mr. Bonner
said : “I have now in my stable three times
as many horses that can beat 2:,30 as there
were in the country twenty-five years ago."
In regard to the driving of trotting horses
over country roads he said: “I frequently
have driven up from New York with my
best horses, and have always found that they
trotted fully as well the next day. I think
a long drive is rather beneficial than other-
wise. It is the pace that hurts a. horse, not
the length of the drive. Whenever Dexter
has been from'the city to the farm, he has
been driven up and back." In Mr. Bonner’s
stable in this city is the veteran Dexter, now
in his twenty-fourth year. A reporter visited
the stable recently, and found the celebrated
animal comfortably housed in' a large box-
stall. He does not look as young as he did
when his record of 2:17§ astonished the
world and his four white 'feet set at naught
the rhyming rule of home-dealers: “ One
white foot, buy him; two white feet, try‘
him; three white feet, look well about him ;
four white feet, go on without him.” Still
there is life in old Dexter yet, and under the
kind of careful treatment which he receivos
he—will probably last for some years.

Making a. Home.
I might ask, “ What is it that makes a
home ‘1’” and you would answer, “A mother’s
love.” You know whatit would be to spend
one of your winter evenings inachamber
without a fire on the hearth or a carpet on
the floor; even though the furniture .was
costly or friends congenial nothing could
impart the lacking comfort or diffuse the
wonted radiance. And inIhis wintry world
a tender mother’s love and a pious mother’s
care, are the carpet on the floor and the blaze '
on the hearth. They make the home, and to
life's ltest moment they mingle in every
picture of pro-eminent happiness—Dr. J—

The Good Lesson.
field was one of the handing merchants of the'
land, respected and influential, as well as
every 'way successful. Speaking of his
early life, he says : “One of my first lessons
was in 1813, when I was only eleven years
old.- My grandfather had a fine flock of
sheep, which I, as a shepherd boy, was sent
to watch in the fields. Another boy, who
was more fond of his book than of the sheep,
was sent with me, while he lay under the
tree reading. I did not like that, and so
went to my grandfather and complained of it.
I shall never forget the smile of the kind-
hearted old gentleman as he said : .
“Never mind my boy; if you watch the
,theep, you will have the sheep.” " ‘ '
-_“Wbat does .my __ grandfather mean by
that F" I said to myself. “I don't expect to
have any sheep." '
My desires were moderate; a fine buck
wortha hundred dollars was as much as ov'er'
I aspired to. I could not exactly make fit
what he meant, but I had great confidcnc
him, for he was a judge andhad been in;
Congress in Washington’s time. 'So~I-',cc‘>n-
eluded it was all right, and went baelgcon-
tenledly to watch theshecp. After I got.
into the field I could not keep his words out
of my head. Then, as I thought of last Sab-
bath‘s lesson—“Thou hast been faithful over
a few things, I will make thee ruler over
many things”—-I began to see through it:
“Do you be faithful and you will be sure of
your reward."
L A second lesson I received soon allerI
went to New York, as a. clerk to Mr. Reed.
A merchant from Ohio who knew me, and
who came to the store to buy goods, said:
“Make yourself so useful that they cannot
do without you.” ~ - .. - -..
His meaning I took quickerlhan Idid that
of my grandfather, and it helped me to un‘-
derstand the latter. So' I worked upon
these two ideas until attlast Mr. Reed offered
me a partnership in his business. The first-
morning after the partnershipku grown;
,Mr. Greory, an old ten merchant,'called in Io

Walking on the Track.
Thefollowing pungent comments on a
dangerous and generally useless popular
habit, from the‘ Hartford Daily Oourant,
,will fit all localities.” It is noidrious that
’even where a. railroad track and a public
highway run side by side, scores of people
will walk'onthe former in preference, even
though it is much the harder walking. Ofé
ten 'the cause is that peoplé'a‘re certain. of
getting to their destination by following the
track, and are not sure of the highways that
lead thither; but as a few questions would
usually settle this, it furnishes no-excuso
whatevei‘. We .may mention that the regu-
lations of The Travelers, no less than of the
’raiiroad companies, strictly prohibit this
practice, and the Companywill not pay, and
explicitly states in all’policies that it will
not pay, for losses incured while or in
consequence of doing it, except to railways
employees. It is in every senses “volun-
tary and needless exposure to danger."
“The locomotive seldom turns out and
seldom runs of! the track to hit people. The
victims stand in its way and suflfer. If they
kept of the track they would not be hurt,
and yet it is an impossibility to keep people
from walking on the track.
Take it here in Hartford, and the tracks of
are used almost as a highway. Sign.
boards warn the public that it {is dan-
gerous to walk there; but notwithstanding
that, this is the great through route.for foot
travel between the city and Flower street,
Sigourney street, Parkvilie, and all that
region out there. It; is an actual fact that
the employes of the railroad have had to turn
away, almost by force, mothers who insisted
on rolling baby carriages and babies along
between the rails. They were angry, too, at
.the curtailment of their rights.
The same state‘of things exists north of
the station between it and the tunnel. The
procession along bothlof these ways is almost
constant... It amounts to hundreds a day.
Among the travelers are young and old, sober
and drunk, blind and deaf and lame people
—-nli kinds. The wonder is not that oc-
casionally somebody is killed, but that it
isn’t a daily occurrence to cut somebody to
pieces. Locomotive engineers are more
nervous at running into cities than on any
other parts of their road, simply through
fear of killing some one who is walking on
the track where he doesn’t belong and is for
bidden to be.”
A Brother’s Signature.
A man from a neighbouring town wished
one of our banks to take his note a short

cash the note if his brother would indorse it.
The next day in came the man, with his
brother’s. signature on the note. The bank
took it and pain the money. When the note
became due the signer did not pay it and the
bank notified the brother. That gentleman
came into- the counting room in amazement
and asked, “What have you got against me ?"
"Didn’t you indorse a note for your brother I"
asked the cashier. “Not that I know of,"
replied the man. “Isn’t this your signature?”
then demanded the ofilcial, producing the
note. The man looked at his name, written
on the paper and rubbed his eyes. “Yes,"
said he, “that’s my signature, sure; but I
should think he might have allowed me
to write it." He paid the note—Lamina?»

A Word for the Pilgrim Mothers.
This in time of year when we hear a good
deal about the Pilgrim fathers. How would
it do once'in 100 years to celebrate the vir-
tues of the Pilgrim mothers? The Pilgrim
fathers were a tough lot, anyway, and the
mothers and maidens of that day and gener-
ation had much to contend with. They de-
serve the grateful remembrance of their de-.
seendants as mu; h as Ithe‘ sturdiest male Pil-
grim that ever shouldered a ginusket or

It. is quéer logic: that pervades the minds
of tho super-temperance people who object
to the tax on whisky on the ground that the
tax sanctions the traffic. To the practical
man it looks as if the removal of the tax
would be the tallest kind of a sanction of
whisky. It would hid it go free. It would
be a strange spectacle to see the whisky men
and |the :temperance men uniting in a peti-
tion for free whisky.

A Stago‘Coach Story.
A good story of the old Arkansas stage
1i. from Fayetteville to Aims. now supplan-
ted by the railroad, is told by scarrespondent
of the New Orleans Times-Democrat. His
fellow passengers on a certain night were a
mild-eyed college professor and a plain, blunt
man in n checkered shirt and trousers to
match. At one point in the road the pro—
fessor’s but blow ed and over the precipice,
but caught og;abushtcn_feetb81W-. The
professor was terribly. distressed and offered
$25 dollars for its recovery. When the
driver, who let himself down by one of his
reins had returned the hat and received his
reward, the professor explained that bills
amounting to 81,000 were sewed under the
lining. The stage rumbled on and every-
thing seemed favorablo for a quick trip, when
suddenly a road agent stepped out from be-
hind a tree. He searched the passengers, but
found so little to reward him for his trouble
that he got mad and ‘Eswore he would take
their clothes and send them on naked to the _
next station. His revolver was an unan-
swerable argument, and they where about to
strip, when the mania the checkered shirt
called out: “Look in the lining of that fel-
low’s hat and you will find some money.”
pocket of the robber who forthwith deeamp-
ed. The stage went on, but such was the
rage of the driver andother passengers at his
polfroonery that he of the checkered shirt
had to walk. The next day he appeared in
the hotel at Alma, took the professor aside
and made him accept $2,000, saying that he
knew he appeared like a dirty seamp, but
the fact was he had $10,000 under false soles
in his boots, and must inevitably have lost
it if he had not devised a plan to escape
being stripped. He was a rich broker and”
had donned his rough costume- to avoid
trouble in the mountains.
The Realism of an Actor’s Life.
The life of an actor is by no means the
honeycombed affair that the silly school boys
and romantic school girls think, is the opin-
ion aired by “Joo” Howard in the Chicago
News. Male and female, they struggle
against the tide, forced to appear at their
best, regardless of headache, stomaehaehc
or heartache. What a comical position it.
must be for an impecunious actor, feat-fully
hard up, his salary anticipated, his future
even mortgaged, and be cast in the role of a
backer, playing a prince, counterfeiting a
potentate. But no romance dreamed of in
the wildest imagination can equal the sober
facts and the dull realities of the stage itself.
One of the brightest, merriestbsmartest wo-
man I ever knew, Whose line is that of the
laughing ccmediennc, was compelled, by‘.
necessity and the carelessness of a manager
to provide an under-study, to appear in the
role of a frolicking, laughing, high daddy
widow the very night on which her brother
died in her arms, for the two nights. follow.
iiband the matinee 0f the week, this with
his dead body reposing in the cofiln, she on
the stage creating screams of laughter, the
body at home surrounded by weeping
mourners. I don’t know whether the young
people of to-day read Dickens or not, but if
they want to find a pretty picture of the
every-day life of the average actor, man or
woman, let them read that beautiful story
of the clown and his dying baby. That may
have been a fancy sketch, but it was based
on Dickens’ knowledge of the realisms be-
hind the ideal. All is not gold that glitters
on the stage and “property fowls,” as Mrs.
Jarvis remarks, do not make every satis-
factory meal.

Simmons Liver Regulator has been in use in my
famil ’ for some time, and I am satisfied it is a
valua lc addition to the medical science.
J. Grnn Siren-ran, Governor of Ala.
Hon. Alexander E. Stephens, of 6a.,
says: Have derived some benefit from the use of
Simmons Liver Regulator, and wish to give it a
further trial.
“The only Thing that never fails to
Relieve."—I have usedmnn§ remedies for Dys- .
sin, Liver Affection and ability, but never
ave found anything to benefit me to the extent
Simmons Liver Regulator has. I sent from Min-
nesota to Georgia for it, and would send further for
such a medicine, and would advise all who are sim-
ila'rly afl'ectcd to give it a trial as it seems the only
thing that never fails to relieve.

perience in the use of Simmons Liver Regulator in

Kiss Me Good-Bye, Dear.
That is a phrase heard in the hallway of
many a home as the man of the house is
hurrying away to exchange daily labor for
daily bread in the mart of commerce. Some-
times it is the wife who says it, sometimes
infant lips prattle the caressing words, hold-
ing up a swtet flower face forthe kiss that
is its warm sunshine of life, and the strong
man waits a moment to clasp his treasure
and is gone; and all day he wonders at the
peace in his heart; at the nerve with which
he meets business losses, or bears business
crosses. The wife’s kiss did it, and he
realizes that it is not wealth or position or
.luck that. makes our happiness, but the in-
fluence we bear with us from the presence of
those we love ! .
“ Kiss me good-bye!" Oh, that the lips —
that have said it for the last time would ever
ask again in those pleading tones for the kiss
so tardily given! Would we not remember
that the relation the flower bears to the
universe is as carefully provided for as that
of the brigi..est star; that the little action of
a loving heart goes side by side with the
deed of heroic worth; that love is the dew
of life; that the parting for a day may be
the parting for a lifetime.
“ How many go forth in the morning,
That never come home at night !
And hearts have broken
For kind words spoken
That sorrow can ne’er set right.”
Make the air vocal with kisses ! Many
tears have been shed over unkissed kisses——
over those “ dear as remembered kisses after
death,” but the time to kiss is the present.
Kiss your children, man of business, before
you leave home; kiss the mother of your
children, and that dear old mother who sits
in the chair by the window—no matter if
her check» is wrinkled, her heart is young,
and then go about your work with a. “thank
God " in your soul that you have some one
at home to kiss. -
“ For though in the quiet evening
You give us the kiss of peace,
Yet it might 'be
That never for thee \
The pain of the heart should cease."
City Boys and Country Boys-
Boys, farming is a slow way to make
money, and it‘s all the better for that.
Money made slow is money made sure. A
dollar dug out of the ground is 'worth five
dollars made in town and better than a bun-
dred dollars given to a young man. Habits
are formed in our youth and town habits are
to spend all that is made. A young man
that is clerkinp; at $50 a month will spend it
all going to shows and frolicking around,
which ain’t so bad if it: wasnt for the habitl.
He gets so after a while that he is always
hankering after shows and some new excite-
ment. A young man‘ought to spend three
.or four years in the country, if for
nothing else but his good health—hi!
constitution. It will build him up and ex-’
pand him. A country boy can’t dance as
gracefully and ship as cat-like as a town boy
lor he doesn’t walk on pavements all the
time. A country boy walks on a dirtfloor.
He works all over and dances allover. A
town boy can fight a right good fight for
two or three minutes, but a country boy can
fight all day. ' ‘hey say the town boys made
the most spirited soldiers during the war,
but the country boys had the most endurance;

h Sunshiny Woman.
What a blessing to a household is a merry
cheerful woman—one whose spirits are not
affected by wet days, or little disappoint-
ments, or whose milk of human kindness
does not sour in the sunshine of prosperity.
Such a woman in the dnrkesthours brightens
the house like a little piece of sunshiny
weather. The magnetism of her smiles and
the electrical brightness of her looks and
movements infect every one. The children
go to school with a sense of something great
.o be achieved; her husband goes into the
world in a ccnqueror’s spirit. No matter
how people annoy and worry him all day,
far off her presence shines, and he whispers
to himself, “At home I shallifind rest." So
day by day she literally renews his strength
and energy; and if you know a man with a
beaming face, ‘a kind heart, and a. prosper-
ous business, in nine cases out of ten you will
and he has a wife of this kind.—-Pz‘scatorial

Entrurhfulness of Inebriates.
This ferversion affects als ) the higher
1 clings. If there is any feature which more
than another is characteristic of the dipsoma-
niac it is that of untruthfulness. Habitual
excessive indulgence in strong drink would
3 no [lie most truthful person in this assem-
bly into an unblushing liar. Nor is this all.
If he were to forsweur- his cups and become
9. consistent abstainer it would be long ere he
recovered, if he ever did completely recowr
his former power to speak the truth and l :
discriminate between the false and the true.
This utter overthrow of truthful sense is
especially marked in women. It has fre-
quently been my lot to be assured-most sol-
emnly by an educated and refined lady that
she had not tasted a drop of drink that day,
when her breath was reekiug with the odor
of brandy.—Tmzparance Lecture.
