Sledge MASl'F.U'TrKKIW (IF t and Window Screens I TO-DAY I THE SWEET MINDED WOMAN. I lieauty is an Insignificant Power ! When Compared With Hers. So great is the influence of a sweet minded woman on those around her that it is almost bound less. It is to her that friends come in sorrow and sickness tor help and comfort; one soothing touch of her kindly hand works wonders in the feverish child; a lew words let fall from her lips in the ear of a sorrow stricken sister do much to raise the load of grief that is bowing its victim down to the dust in anguish. The husband comes home, worn out with the pressure of business and feeling irritable with the world in general, but when he enters the cozy sitting room, and sees the blaze of fire and meets his wife's smiling face, he succumbs in a moment to the soothing influences which act as the balm of Gilead to his wounded spirits that are wearied with the stern relalities of life. The rough school boy flies into a rage from the taunts of his companions, to find solace in his mother's smile; the little one, full of grief with its large trouble, finds a haven of rest on its mother's breast. And so one might go with instance after instance of the influence that a sweet minded woman has on the social life with which she is con nected. Beauty is an insignificant power when compared with hers. THE BEST CIVIC BEAUTY. What is civic beauty? Not tine streets and public lmikl inga. "Handsome is as hand some does," also applies to a town. If a town bo full of law lessness, racket, noises, bick erings, scandal, contention, it is not the town beautiful it is the town ugly. ( (rder is Heav en's first law everywhere and a town is no exception. Let ting things go helter-skelter is a losing business. Let a man deface his own property and it depreciates all property. Let the town do an ill piece of work, or permit another to do it, anil the welfare of the whole community is weakened Civic life is the main thing. It is for that tine streets and struc tures are encouraged. The true civic life implies that are posi tivepurity, honor, cleanli ness, decency, order, ipiiet. lie ha v ion r is the lirst thing a town needs to take of if it wants to guard its own honor anil wel fare. Respectability is not in money, houses or lands it is in conduct, and advantage to a community. When that is not rightly prized a community is very unfortunate. Oxford Led ger.

I was nervous, and had very lillte aniM-lii, no ambition, melancholy, and often felt as though I had not a friend in the world After I had tried most every female remedy without suc cess, my mother-in-law advised me to take l.ydia E.

Then the Deed strides forth 10 the distant final That has dazzled since life began ; Forthe Dream is the child of the rampant soul, But the Deed is the man. The Dream is the peak that is seen alar, And the wish for the eagle's wings; The Dream is the song to the beck'ning star That the world waif fondly sings. Then the Deed comes crowned with the strength and skill That doth perfect a golden plan; For the Drearr is the child of the sovereign will But the Deed is the man. The Dream is the mask thai would make men fair, And the boast that would count them brave; The Dream is the honors thai heroes wear, And the glory that high hearts crave. Then the Deed gives battle to pride and pelt As only a conqueror can; For the Dream is the child of the better self But the Deed is the man. No song was so sweet and no star so bright As the Dream of the Naarene; From Virgin's bosom to Calvary's height It sang and it shone, serene. Then the Deed proclaimed Him King of His kind As the blood of the Martyr ran; For the Dream was the Child of the Master-mind-But the Deed was the Man ! TALKING IT OVER. 1 see the time a-getting near You'll let your skirts out in a year, An' when that ruffle is let down, Or you are in a new, long gown You will be grown up dern it all ! Grown up ! You will straight, slim an' tail As what your mother used to be, An' that don't make no hit with me ! Has daddy ever told ye, dear, How 'way back yonder, pretty near A score o' long, glad years ago, Your dad and mother used to know F.ach other in the school days' lime, And used to romp and race an' climb, Together in the same school, too ? 'Spose that seems mighty strange to you. And she was slim and tall and straight And laughing, and I used to wait For her to come along the road, Then I'll step out an' take her load Of books her skirts was to her knees An' she could run an' climb up trees, An' slide down haystacks, and could ride The horse a-gallop an' astride. And then her skirts reached to her shoes, And every game each romp and cruise W'e used to take together stopped; No more we climbed up trees or hopped Into a wagon for a ride, We walked sedately side by side, And talked of lessons all the way She had grown up since yesterday. An' then my trousers got long, too ! All in a night I grew an' grew From a short boy to a tall man ! I don't believe you ever can Know how dad felt, 'twould lake a crowd Of proud folks to be half as proud As he was then ! his mustache grew Stop laughin' you young rascal you ! An' go on out about your play, An' stay young yet, dear, while you may; Slide down the haystacks climb and run Tim bein' grown-up ain'i such fun As it may look just now to you; Do all the fancy says to do Years bring a sort of liit'e hurt For each long skirt's a hobble skirt. ni wi.pHH HE WONDCRria.
