There ia one thing that I cafi't under- aland," said my friend with a question ing mind "What ia that, Hanaon?" I asked. "About old man Jones, down there at llio foot of the hill. - If there are any Christians in thia country, he ii ouo. He baa prayed twice a day for forty yean, an! proved his faith by his works. He has worked hard, and has been ambilioua lo lay np something for bis family, vet he ia exceedingly poor, haa always bees poor often hia family lack the bare necessaries of life. That little cabin with the rocky patch of ground around il is all tbat he haa to ahow for a life of drudgery. Yet the Bible says, 'All things work together for the good of those who lore God,' and, 'To him that asketh it ahall be g'ven.' How do you explain it?1 "Let us go down and talk with him about it, 'I I replied. The old man warmly welcomed ui into his simple cabin, and set chairs for us by the open fireplace, for it was frosty November day, "I'm glad to seo you, Will." He al ways called me Will. "I have beei waiting to tell you about a letter I got two weeks ago from Dave. Dave las professed religion and joioed tbe ohorch." The old man's eyes grew bright, sod hia voice shook a little. "I've been praying for tbat boy for many years, and I knew tbs Lord would save him." The light on bis faoa, furrowed by ear and toil and age, was good to see. 11 I'm perfectly happy now," ha eon- tioued. "M ary married a good man, and they have a good home. Sam ia preach iog the Qoapel, and now Dave haa choaeo tbe better part. Tbe Lord is woodiona good lo Hia aervaots, and I can ssy with David, 'The Lord ia my shepherd; I shall not want,' " And be repeated tbe whole psalm. "But haven't you often needed thing that you did not get?" inquired my friend. "Oh, yes, certainly; thera have been many times in our liven when we did not have all the worldly goods we wanted, but some way we pulled through," replied the old man, cheerfully, "Perhaps It was tha result of bad management; per haps it was beat so, but that matters little. Tha Lord has made us so ricb io everything else we do not mind a little poverty. As we climbed the bill my friend was silent. When ws reached tha summit we looked back at the little cabin at the foot. "I understand now," said my friend. Sunday-school Times. Brides s .... 4..

PETERSBURG. VA. A SONG OF BY FRANK L. The ptaoe it looks so lonesome I The mornln' glories bright, They seem to know that Maggie's gone, an' took away the light I Why, they just loved the faoe of her I an' still the moooflowera keep A sadness, like they miss her, when the moonlight whispers ."Sleep 1" The place itlooka so lonesome I oh, every shadow seems To touoh my heart to tears I to bear tha children, in their dreams Soft-inarmurin' ber name I Tbcy come from visions of the night; Ad' mornin' is do recompense, since Maggie took the light 1 What joy once more to see her, here in tbe household ways 1 The musio of her voice; but more : The musio of her days, Set all the world to siogio': Qriefa wiogs were plomed for flight: But shsdows mske the pathway dim since Maggie took the light 1 But she'll come to hearts thst love her though black tbe distanco bars : Tbe violets will send the word sweet-singing to tbe stars I For I tell you, life is loneBomeness : Rut won't the world be height, When Maggie's eyes find kindred skies when Maggie brings the light I THE CHILD TO Father, it's your love that safoly guides me, Always it's round me, night and day, It shelters me4 and soothes, but never chides me, let, father, there's a shadow in my way. All the day, my father, I am playing Under trees where sunbeams dance and dart But often just st night when I am praying I feel this awful hunger in my heart. Father, there ia something it has misjed me I've felt it through my little days sud years ; And even when you petted me and kissed me I've cried myself to sleep with burning tears. To-day I saw a ohild and mother walking, I caught a gentle shining in her eye, And music io her voice when she was talking Oh, father, is it tbat tbat makes me ory T Ob, never can I put my arms around her, Or never ouddle closer in the night; Mother, ob; my motberl I've not found her I look for her and ory ftoiu dark to light I HE HAD TO SNEEZE.

"I ran over a big dog and took a fall," explained Bobby, "Couldn't you fee bim and giva him tha road?" "Yea, I saw him and waa turning out, but when I got within about 10 feet of bin I abut my eyes, and before I got 'em open agaio I'd run into him." "For thelaod'a sake, what did you abut your eyea for?" "Couldn't help it. Had to sneeta. If you think you eao bold your eyea open when tha aneeta cornea, you just try it some day."

"I suffered one week with bowel trouble aod look all kinds of medicine without getting any relief, when my Iriend, Mr, C, Johnson, a merchant here, advised me to tske this remedy.

The man who asked to see the society editor didn't look ss if society was quite io hit Hoc, but he insisted that be had a matter of great importanoe to be settled. "My friend Bill," he explsined to the young women, "is a great stickler fur eticulo." "For what?" asked the young woman. "Eticute for doin' things the right way." "Ob, you mean etiquette." "It ain't spelled the way you say it, bit I s'pose you ought to know." "What docs Bill want to know?" she ssked, to cut off dispute on this point. "Why, Hill's got an invite to go some where, an' he don't think he ought to go unless it's writ out proper." "That would depend on the nature of the affair," she explained. "In some esses a verbal invitation " "A which?" "A verbal invitation one that isn't written, you know," "That's the kind Bill's got, an' they're all tellin' him he oucht to go without any more fuss, but Bill's groat on eticute, an' he won't have it that way, So be says fer me to see you an' find out what'a right, which is what he wants to do." "Well, as I said before," explained tbe society editor, "it depends on the nature of tbe enlertainment. If it's a formal af fair " "Which?" "I ssy, if there are many formali ties " "Oh, there's lots of them. It's goin' to be a big affair; with everything done according to flojlc." "Then your friend ia quite right, especially if be is to be in any way an im portent guert." "You bet he is. Why, he s goin to be tbe msin aqueete." "Tho what?" "The whole thing, pretty near. They got to have him to have the show." "Then he has a right to expect a formal invitation. If he is so important as that. It is almost an insult to ask him to ac cept anything leas," "That eettlisit. When I tell Bill what you said he'll stick out for the re quisition sure. "Tho what?" "Tbe requisition." Tbe society editor looked troubled. " W ho is your friend?" she asked, "and what is the invitation be wants?" "Why, they got him arrested here for burglary over in tbe nex State, an' they're tryin' to get him to go back without any fuss, but Bill holds it ain't polite to go on jeBt somebody's word, 'specially wben they're relyin' on him to be tha whole ahow. He waota it done right on printed paper ssys it makee bim look small not to have everything aroordiog to eticute." PROVERBS OF THE HIGH WAY. Poverty is never lonesome. It has a bouse full of relations, and more eom iog on the train. - ' The philosopher who went around with a candle, looking lor a wise mao, would now have jnst as much difficulty locating bim with an electrio light. When some folks reach the rivers of milk and honey, they'll growl, and say the milk's half water and honey don't agree with them. Sudden happiness baa been known to be the death ot men. But the trouble is, when it comes gradually we never know it's within ten miles of us. Every war wa have, Providence ia said to be on both sides. Satan ia not mei tioned: but we all know just where "he is St." If soma of us had this world to make over agaio, we'd rest aix days and work ooe. Thera would ba fewer fools io tbe world if there were not so many mise men tor them to laugh at. REFLECTIONS OK A BACHELOR. A girl haa to bava very rad hair to be iieve il ia any mora than biooii, Anyway, they'll never invent allying machine to go as fast aa money. A lobster snd oucumber supper is a good thing lo start one's consoiouce working. A woman has a good deal of excite ment pretending sha admires a mao for bis mind.

DDrptnnp pdiiudp an old turkish 1'olklore tale told hinoe momammed's days. This is a story which the old Turkish grandfathers tell their grandsons, a folk lore tale that was told about the ttrca io tho days of Mohammed. A young man was about to set out lo scok his fortune io s strange land beyond tho rugged northern mountains. So he wont to every member of his family aod abked what presents he should bring back, Eaoh member of ihe family expressed a desiro for some particular present, sod the young man carefully noted them down. When he bad done so, he notic ed that his old father had not yet ex pressed a wish. "And what shall I bring for you. father?" he asked. "My son, I shall make ooe request. I would like you to save all tho crumbs from your table snd bring them to me when you return." The son thought this a very strange request, but nevertheless be promised to fulfill it. So he journeyed on to the land beyond tho mountains, where he entered into trade and in a few years became a wealthy merchant, Then he determined to re turn to his native land. His belongings he sold snd convertod into gold, snd with this, including the presents for his family and the crumbs he bad saved for his father, he joined several other travelers, and together they set out to cross tho mountains into Turkey. But in the mountains a great storm overtook thsna, and thoy were lost for many days. Finally their provisions gave out, aod they were on the point of starvation when the young man thought of the crumbs he bad saved for bis father. "Alael" be cried. "I cannot carry my father the present I promised him, for hunger compels me to use it fer our selves." When the young man reached home snd he hsd embraced all the members of bis family, he distributed the presents. But when he oame to his father he bad nothing to give, and he cried: "Alas, father, I have not been able to fulfill my promise to you. In the moun tains I was overcome by hunger and was forced to cat the crumbs I had saved for you to save my life and those of my com panions." And the old father replied: " 'Tin well, my son.
