The scene which followed was worthy
of the finest brush ever wielded by the
grand old masters. There lay the dy
ing earth-angel with pallid lips, hectic
cheeks and lustrous eyes and tbe light
of immortal beauty shining upon ber
face. Standing beside her in one of ber
richest robes (ihe one she bad worn
that night.) spaikling with pearl, ru.
bies and diamonds stood the alm ist
divine mistress of earthly melody.
"The first piece rendered was. "The
Old Folks at Home," and then fcj.

Do not let your child acquite the hab
it ofgrumbling.- Stop the first begin
nings and it will never become a hab
it. If there is just cause of complaint,
try to remedy it; if there is no possib
ility of improvement, teach that silent
endurance is the best way to meet the
inevitable. It is never wiss to stay in a
place and grumble. If the things you
dislike cannot be altered, change your
environment. If on n flection you de.
cide that, balancing one thing wiih
another you would rather- bear the ills
yoa know than fly to others that you
know not of, bear them ia silence.

The bibit of ependjoK more than
one makes in America. It does
not prevail generally In any other
country on earth. ' Of Americans
employed at good wages la the
most remunerative lines probably
not more than one of five saves any
appreciable percentage of bis earn
ings. Whether the pay H 75,
$100,$150 or $200 per month, tbe
result at tbe end of tbe y ear is tbe
same 0. It may be even less
than nothing. Tbere are little ac
counts to pay or to put off at a
dozen places about town, and-in
some cases, bard bills are unpaid.
Nothing is laid by for a rainy day.
No provision is made even for
sickness. Tbe wife joins tbe bus.
band in tbe foolish effort to keep
up or ahead and to these are added
in due time little pauper pets to
outdrees other little pauper pets
or tbe children of tbe rich bankers
of tbe town. This swift and im
provident method of life is not
found io foil swing in any other
country. To explain that it means
disaster is to insult tbe vain and
tboujbtleas spendthrifts who care
less for, credit than tbey do for
eas or show. They desnise the
eldarly person who has "waste
not, waut not for a motto. Tbej
cannot endure any thing thalisnot
"spick" end swell.". This runs
on until the "job, on which they
have enjoyed themselves is lost,
and a'l is lost. Without employ
ment, money or credit tbe bead of
the family Mods himself unable to
secure a footing or provide for bis
wife and children. In some esses
the result ismobt pitiable divorce
even suicide Iu other instances a
bitter taste of poverty brings tbe
whole familyaround to methods of
safety and common sense. Tbe
wife joins tbe husband in tbe ef
fort to go on In the good old way.
Tbey quit tbe epbemeoal train and
devote their lives to something a
