The good which is done by ' : these two. classes of people is perhaps - V.k- V Art A fro ' Tn another wav our selfishness mam-foie f ests itielf . N e think of what we ' want, of 'tWe new and. pretty things -we would Obtain had we the means. We murmur that we cannot . have all that we wist, and , we forget to be thankful for the many blessings which tro .isfia?v While we are wishing . for greater prosperity we do not iium r ber the good things we already have, and we almost entirely put away the "fcV that y4bere are those who lack even the necessities and eomforts of life, ancHo whom its luxuries are un- . known. '" j We know that the state of thehealth ' affects" the mind to a large, degree. . This is specially shown in some cases of chronic invalidism. Possibly ex- i . , t i treme selhsnness is itseu a uiaf , rather than its result. It is the con tinual iuought of one's own health, of one's own symptoms, that char acterizes the' hypochondriac. It wears out the pleasure of living, or rather it bides it, and causes much unhapiness tb the acquaintances an4 associates of the One who is affiicted with too mhch sjelf-thought. To such a one, the little trials of life 'are magnified until they , Appear of huge dimensions while if tiey are given to another to bear, his same person esteems them at their teal worfh; as trifles. Tf we are too' self-conscious; we lose much pleasure Which we might other wise en jov. We are neglected, we aw notnoticed according to our own , idea of pur importance, or we receive ; some" slight which hurts our feelings. robably bur friends nave no iaea thatHAey are wounding our sensiDiii ties inalhsway whatever, but we are er yprv elearMsrhted that we can see I it, and we are sure that it was inten tional until we aie made happy again by explanation, or by some flattering notice. The trouble is all the-while with ourselves, we are too self-con-scio'as We consider all people as revolving . around a common center, which is ourselves. When we realize .that we, individually, are only a part, anda very small part too, of the uni verse, when we feel that there are others besides ourselves who need JrecbgmTion and help, then we shall cast aside the crust Of selfishnesss which envelops us, and begin to live as we ought to live, for the good,aiul nleasure of others as mucbi as for our selves.

It was Chri-tmas morning, in 1SS4, when a gentleman standing m a store in a Southern city neara a sweet tuiw Ha tod sot anv tnnsimas ai your house?"' Looking down, he saw 1- . 1 - nraJ Clin. ctndiTi? ai nis siue a wurxjru, ny-facetl, curly-headed little girl about eicrht years of age gazing eagerly up at him. " Well," said the gentleman "n-o'lP crot A kind of a Christmas." V kind of a Christmas! Why, Wn o-nt the snlendidest Christmas nnr hnn$p von ever d d see." Just then the mother of the little eirl came up, and the; gentleman soon heard tne touowing lniereMiug Late on Lhnstmas eve, in xsiy, me father of the little girl came nome drunk, as he had come home many a Kfrro Withont stoDDinir to 11IUC w,i.vw. -- . Tnll nff hi boots, he threw mm self on the bed ana quicKiy aruVi into a drunken sleep. Early on Christ ma mnrnin? his wife came and shook him. and as he opened his eyes he was startled to hear her say: "Husband, Willie, is dyins! Willie, fai little five-year-old fcoy. was the idol of his heart, and when he heard his wife's words he sprang up and ran into the the little fellow lay. As a w ua. ww M - - j . - . the little boy saw him he said "Papa, please go and see what Santa f!lns has broudht me for my Christ- mac Thpn. for the first time, he rpmembered it was Christmas morn inf. and that he had not purchased anv erif ts for those who had a right to . - - 1 U . J nis love ana care, ui, mrucu and went out of the room, and. tried to think of some excuse to nfake to the dvins bov. While he stood think- ins his wife came out and said to him: MNever mind, husband, it is too late Willie is dead! ' It was a sorrowful Christmas in that home, as it is in every home where liquor comes in and makes a man forget those thai ne oueht to care foriand love. The Saturday night after the fun eral the man came home from his work, and as he entered the room his wife saw bim -pull a big black bottle out of his .pocket and put it on the shelf. A fresh pain came into the woman's heart, and a sadder look came into her face, for she had hoped that the death of their boy would bring the man to his senses and cause him to leave the drink alone. After they had eaten their supper, and the was cleared off, the husband took the bottle from the shelf and put it on the table. f Then drawing up a couple of chairs' he said: 4,Wife come sit down here.' She sat down beside him, when, pointing to,the bottle, hu said: "Wife, there's a bottle.5 "Yes, husband," she said, "arid sorry I am to see it. "But you haven't looked at it closely. See here." And hold ing it up between her eyes and the light, for the first' time she saw that the bottle was empty. "Now, wife, I want you to help me make a calcula tion how much drink has cost me each week for the past five years. I've made up my Toind to put into that bottle each week as much for the next five veae as I've taken out of it each week for the past five vears. The calculation was quickly made, and they found that he had been spending for liquor at least five dollars a week. futting nis nana aown in nispocKex, he drew out a five-dollar bill, rolled it up, and. as he pushed it down through theneeK oi the Dottle, ne said: xnere goes the first deposit in the new bank." The next Saturday night another five dollar bill went into the bottle, and so one bill after. another found its way into the same bank for the next five years. So on- that Christmas when the gentleman met the little girl in the store the five years were""up and early that morning the old bottle was brought out, its neck broken off, and the bills turned out on the table. Now, any of the boys and girls who have studied arithmetic can soon tell how much money was on the table. Five dollars a week for hftv-two weeks would make two hundred and sixty dollars for one vear, and five times fiftV'two weeks made thirteen hun dred dollars for five years. Sure enough, they smoothed the bills out, ana counted them, there were thirteen hundred d'Mari. Do you wonder the girl said, "Oh! we've got the splen didest Christmas at our house you ever did see f .Besides all that Dig lot oi money the man had saved enouerhto buva lot and build a nice house, in which thev lived to eniov that Christmas morning, and Santa Clans brought lots of nice things to them all that day. He took the bottle from which hie had drank And turned it into a pavjnjre-bank. The drinking' made him a drunken sot. But temperance gave him a house and lot So his little daughter, in gladness and elee. Had the splendidest Christmas vou ever did see." 7-Eer. C. U. Mead, in tJie Banner.
