The Btory ot llio hoy w ho cried "wolf" eo often that when the wolf really citino his criee j)tsi;d imheed ed has ni:iiiy practical illiiBtrMtioiiH The. hoy Imd Miniply hmt rentHtioti and whs not helievud. That is tho fate of al! who tell lies; when their character la'Comes known they are not helioved, no matter how eimest ly they may protect theyuro telling the truth. CMK-li lots ot n .utatiuii M a very wrunta matter, tieeially toryotniK nien and yomiK women whore, euceetia in huainear life ia sure to depend in very (;reat decree upon their good reputation. They should guard it, not only hy exemplary conduct in tho fulfilment of engage inents, tlio diacliHro of duties, Arc , hut hy truth ti Hintr e. totiKss in their reports and aixwdicH. Those who are careh.s in this resect. though they may never consciously tell an untruth, soon become known as iuextctaiid unrealmhle, and what they may say I. .sea much ot the weight it would carry if they had miiiiiiaiiu d a iro d rtputation. One who is given to exaeraiion has all h' savings discounted, so that ho finds U iinp.sihlo to c .tivey to tliose who know him an itddju ito idea of some really gri at cvetit. Ho has, through a hal it of exsgeration, lost to 6ome extent the power ot speech. Moreover, men who ex at'erate usually defeat their own purjiosu even iih tluo who sre strangers to them and do not k low their laults. It i. bed to the rule of a writer somewhat tumous tor the i-trungth of his ex pres!on8 'o write from tho fullness of his heart ai.d then w hen in a calmet mood to strengthen Ids article hy removing therefrom nearly all of flu; adjec tives he had originally employed. It is a tact that extiavrtuai.ee of statement weakens it dcclaiation, and there is no ptit of spct eh of which more srann and thoughtful use should he m tde than adjectives, and especially superlatives. The hoy who cried wolf too often has another companion mi tho common scold. People who are always com plaining of others so injure their reputation thattliey find themselves uuahle to got a real grievance re dressed, it seems 10 he the old tale reived, !tid thopo who are forced to listen t.i it really pay no heed. Tho scold is most mischievous in tho family circle, espe;iaily if he or6he has to deal with young children. The purent who is cotniiiim'ly scold ing soon loses control of Hie child and finds fresh irrivanccs in tho la: ter's indifference to rehukts. One who, after J i vi u u in a quiet neigh borho d, settles rear a railr-jHd lit e finds ti.e unaccustomed noises al most intolerable, but after a time scarcely notices them. So also the child whoso a tention may bo ar rested by an occasional rebuke, loses consciousness of scoldings when he lias heard ihein every hour of the day for wetks together. The scolder is really crying wolf too often and losing reputation to such a degree that ultimately his scoldings will pass hy as the idle wind and lie un heeded, it not unheard. Jt is well, thereloie, to guard one's speech against uut ruth tulnesB, exaggeration or iiuneceesary complainings and to maintain a reputation for exactness, moderation at. d justice, so that w hat- evci one may hv to say will be listened to with rwpect and nt I passed by as the.idle cry ot "wolf when theio is no wolf. llaltiuiore Sun.

There is, perhaps, no supcr.tition so general throughout the civilized world as those, regarding the llgnres 13 being an unlucky number, the story beginsi How it originated perhaps will never he known, hut it is generally attributed to tho pres ence of the twelvo sp stles and Christ at the last supper. There is also a world wnlo superstition re garding tho figure 7 being a lucky number, and through all tho rail roads of this country the engineers invariably select the 7 in preference to a'iy other engino. It issaid that many ot the railtoads omit mini bering an engine 13, liecauso it is dillicult to get an engineer to take charge of it. When the Democratic nominee for president, William J. Pryan, aitived at Cl.ictgo, several weeks before the convention convened, he put up at a hotel, '.he name of which isspelled with seven letters -Chiton. The clerk assigned him to room Xo. 7. The comniitleo in charge ot the arrangements had just seven coupons printed on the, tickets of admission, and there were just seven business sessions.

Mr. liryau s home is in a city of seven letters, Lincoln, and tho State whose vote Kicurcd his nomination was Montana seven letters. The chairman of tho national committee in charge of thu convention was Harrity, seven letters, and the new chairman is S. M. White, seven letters. He wears a Xo. 7 shoo and a Xo. 7 hat, and there were just seven States that followed the standard of Nebraska for a n; time I a; fore Illinois joined the pro cession. The name of the club that Mrs. Pryan organized is spelled with seven letters Porosis and he referred to just seven kinds of busi ness men in his great speech that secured his nomination. There were seven candidates for president nomi nated foe lore the convention, arid the sleeping car that carried him to Chicago was tho "Feronia," 6even letters. If there is anything in this lielief regarding the figure 7, W. J Pryan, wlio is in his thirty-seventh year, will bo inaugurated president Mar:li 4, 1VJ7. The fact that McKinley was nominated tor president on the anniversary of the battle ot Water loo is significant of his defeat.

Gradually we grow to a condition where o feel a friendship for all, and nri'icc toward none and steak no evil ot a forother or Bister, font look up m their actions charitably, believing and trusting in their in tegrity as long as possible, however circums'ances and conditions may point to ntifavorahlo conclusions. This will extend to the home and will prevent us from entertaining evil or suspicious thoughts. We will haste to make due allowance in all cases fur inherited tendencies and weaknesses, the education and en vironments ol early life, the associ ates of late years and all that con tributes to mar the beauty and sym metry of an o'herwise perfect char acter. Considering all these influences. it is not improbable that we may oft times be surprised to find, that so much has been successfully resibtcd, aud we may lie led to rejoice that humanity is as good as it is. We cannot draw ourselves away and say to the outcast, ''Stand aside ; I am holier than thou." Acknowledging the universal brotherhood ol the race, we realize thtt ono Father is ours. the poorest foegg.tr that crawls from door to door, is as much His child as we; and is working out thu Divine pnritoeo in a way pecu liar to himself and disorganization, hut which we do not understand. These are the teachings of Odd K'llowhhip; the broauest charity toward all, to believe no evil if it can be avoided, to help our brothers and sisters and trust the Infinite Father. Realizing the great and glorious truths taught by our brotherhood, we desire to help all who are in need and in all conditions of life, we strive to obey the Golden Pule in the family, as well as in broader holds ot activity. When fathers and mothers are thoroughly imbued with the prin ciples ol Odd Fellowship, and cany them out in practical every-tlay hie, they wi.l transmit to their posterity a tendency to liberal thought and exalted lives, that will assist in bet tering humanity, and be manilcsted in every widening circle through out the generations that succeed .1 T i I f.- ! mem. i nuer sucn conumons cnu dren wiil lie horn Odd Fellows and will practice the teachings of our Order from the sj)otjtsneity of their natures. e must admit, that chil dren re t red m the folds of uur Or der, and with a hereditary tendeucy to embrace its principles and put them into practice, jtossess great tdvantages over those whose par ents have no faith in our teachings and who are antagonistic to our or gan izu ion.

Thus both will seek op portunity to return to others some of tho benefits of which ther have bt(en tho recipients. It is inevitable that their offspring will ho Odd Fellows by nature in fact. In this way the institution ot that Home will i fleet untold generations of fu ture ages, and the influence of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows be' felt throughout all time. What is truo of that Inme is true of all Odd Fellows' Orphans' Homes throughout our land ; also ot tho family home it is but a smaller family and tho ii.culcation of the principles of tmr Order around its firesides, will extend outward and onward to bless untold multitudes who shall como after ns. Peace and harmony arc secured and jcrpetiiated in the homo, by the expansion of mind incident to the inculcation of out teachings. A high stato of moral and intellectual I growth increases Uith tho capacity I tor, and the sources from which pleasure is derived, by opening to our comprehension new fields of research and cnjoyine-nt which, shared by the family, conduce to their mutual ijencht and delight. As we explore now realms of thought and experience, broader ideas and grander suggestions pre sent themselves for consideration. These ideas and suggestions pro inulgated in tho household are fully discussed, by parents and children. Tho latter are thus kept instructed in intellectual subj-ets, and become intensely interesting themselves. The inmate's of such a home will not need to go abroad tor amusement, for they will regard their hearth stone as tho best and most conge Dial spot on earth. The children will not wander in forbidden paths, bringing disgrace upon themselves and sorrow to tho family. Protheret and sisters, when these influences for good are not realized, in the families of Odd Fellows, it is because the teachings ot our Order aro not understood or appreciated, to the full extent of their meanings, nor made the study of our lives. Perhaps wives may be opposed to the Independent Order of Odd Fel lows and look upon it with feelings of suspicion and distrust, it so, they are ignorant of its objects and its principles and may be too preju diced to investigate. Often they attribute hasty words and imperfec tions of character to the influence ot our organization, and harms their husbands about being left alone, while he goes Lo his lodge to per form his part in providing for the care of his ifllicted brethreti. Py persistent antagonism such wives prevent their husbands from mani festing its beneficial effects, and blind themselves to a perception thereof, even when manifested. This bitter opposition is au insult to the moral integrity ot their bus bands. They ought to have stilli- cientconfidence to believe, that they would not engage in anything tin productive of good. These women should stop to consider, that a fra ternal society which has grown from nothing to over eight bundrea thousand members in less than seventy-six years, and which has disbursed millions of dollars lor charitable purpose, thereby carry ing comfort sod consolation to thous ands of families, providing for the wants ot widowed mothers, and as sisting in tho rearing and education of homeless and fatherless children, Is well worthy a thorough and im partial investigation, concerning its objects and accomplishments, before being dist!ounteuanced or con demned.
