Tt li sex. a If GOOD NEV7S l) ) Don't Let Your lintiginntion Mis lead You. 1 1 wish I had a iiiillion dollars, i you say, i could do so much good with it. There arc so many 1 would like to help. It would ho such a pleasure to relieve the suf ferings of this poor family, to assist that struggling young man, and to contribute generously to the church and the hospital. I know I would not he as selfish as many rich peo ple are. If 1 had a million 1 would gratify my generous impulses. Stop right there! Your imagina tion is misleading you. If you had a million dollars you would be no more liberal than you are now. Helpfulness does not depend on the size of your income. IF you are doing nothing for others on your present income of fifty dollars a month you would do the same if you had fifty thousand a month. You would be just as wrapped up in your own sweet self as you are now and wrappeder. For it is a well-established fact that one's altruistic impulses de crease in force as one's wealth grows. The kindest, most generous peo ple in the world are those who have little or nothing. The best friends to the poor are the oilier poor. I have in mind now one of the most benevolent women 1 ever knew. She is always thinking of She sends Mowers to her upon just the right oe she has delicious soup sent to certain people to whom she is interested in the hospitals, she plans in various societies to help needy children, she is a real "trouble woman," for wherever there is trouble there is she, to hold the nervous hand, to smooth the hot brow, and to give of her lull i cheer and hope to them that need. She is not rich in pocket; she has the true riches, of the heart, riches that moth and rust do not corrupt nor thieves break through and steal. i And you, if you have the root of the matter in you, can be as ben evolent as the most lavish million aire. What you need is not mo ney, it is disposition. For the one thing to give in this world, the one thing that is worth while, the one thing that cheers us all up and adds ozone to the soul, is yourself. The great gifts of the rich it is doubtful if they do any good after i all. I have my suspicions of them. But whoso gives himself, his time, his thought, his attention, his care, he is the world's real benefactor. "This world is so waste and empty," says Goethe, in his "Wilhelm Meister," when we figure but towns and hills and riv ers in it, but to know that some one is living on with us, even in silence, this makes our earthly ball a peopled garden."

Who lives in memory lives in that far land Where golden visitors glow on every hand Where old all'eetions and lost dreams of love Shine in the effluent twilights of the dove A green, sweet land, whose vistas stretch alar And numerous shapes and moving shadows are. Who lives in memory sits at even's close Beside a window thai looks on rose And old sweel blossoms of a garden where Life bloomed in all its springtime sweet anil fair A fair, fine land, whose pathways lead today To dreams and hopes and fancies far away. Who lives in memory has a double life. One of sweel joy and iuiet, where the strife Of rolling battle and the tides of fate Can enter not the vineelad memory gate A still, cool land, where angel shadow s tread, And kindness reigns and hate and greed are dead. Who lives in memory can bring back each day Such lovely laughter and young hearts and gay, That speak of beauties faded but still sweet. Old joys and customs that life loves to tneei A far, pure land, where measures of old song Wake tenderest echoes all the sweei years long. IF MOTHERWOULD LISTEN. If mother would listen to me, dears, She would freshen that faded gown; She would sometimes take an hour's rest, And sometimes a trip to town. And it shouldn't be all for the children, The fun, and the cheer, and the play, With the patient droop on the tired mouth, And the "Mother has had her day !" True, mother has had her day, dears, When you were babies three, And she stepped about the farm and the As busy as ever a bee; When she rocked you all to sleep, dears And sent you all to school. And wore herself out, and did without, And lived by the Go'den Rule. And so your turn has come, dears, Her hair is growing white, And her eyes are gaining the far away h That peers beyond the night. One of these days in the morning, Mother will not be here, She will fade away into silence, The mother so true and dear. Then what will you do in lite daylight, And what in the gloaming dim ? And father, lired and lonesome, then, Pray, what will you do for hint ? If you want to keep your mother, You must make her rest today; Must give her a share in the frolic, And draw her into the play. And, if mother would listen to me, de,u She'd buy her a gown of silk, With buttons of royal velvet, And ruffles as white as milk. And she'd 'et you do the trotting, While she set still in her chair; That mother should have it hard It strikes me, isn't fair. house through Margaret Sangster. AUNT JEMIMY'S MAXIMS.

It is wonderful what yuu can do it you will only keep your chin up. i his is ;i strange wot Id, and one of the strangesi things about ii is the way it sympathies with suc cess. e arc supposed to sympathize i with failure and grief, but we don't, 1 am going to tell ymi the truth about this naughty world, and the truth is that whichever way you're going, up or down, people want to help you along. If you are going up we all want : to boost: if you are going down we ; all want lo push. That is what we ' call sympathy. You hear complaints that the rich are growing richer and the poor i are growing poorer. Thai has al i ways been the case.'simply because it is human nature. Society has always been organized to increase , the wealth of the wealthy and the power of the powerful, also to make the weak weaker. The rule is that "to hint thai hath shall be given, and front him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath." There's no use whining about i it. It is simply one of the flinty ! laws of nature. The only thing to ; do with nature's laws is to adjust . one's self to them and not to cotn 1 plain. You are guilty yourself. Whom ' do you want to see? The man 1 everybody wants to see. And you , i read the book everybody's reading and go to the store where it is "the i thing" to go. "Follow the crowds," says the I advertiser, with his shrewd knowl i edge of our make-up. i If you have a hundred dnll.it s ! ahead to whom do you want to i hand it? To the poor man who needs it? Not at all, but to the : rich banker who don't need it. If 1 ask you tor the loan of a quarter you will pass it over to me without a word if you think it is a trilling mailer to nte; but if you : suspect I really am in want and ' need the quarter lo buy a little food with, that's quite another all'air, you can't encourage that sort ol ! thing; I should go to the Associated i Charities. !
