TEN THINGS A BABY CAN DO.
It can beat' any alarm o'clock ever
invented waking a family up in the
morning-
Give f it a fair ehow and it can
smash more dashes than the most in
dustrious servant girlin thexcountrv.
It can fall down oftener and with
less provocation than the most expert
tumbler in the circus ring.
It can make more genuine fuss ov
er a simple brass pin than the moth
er would over a broken back.
It can choke itself black in the
face with greater ease than the most
accomplished wretch that ever was
executed. ;v
It an keep a family in a constant
turmoil from morn , till night, and
from night till morning, without
varying its tune.
It can be relied upon to sleep
peacefully all day when its father is
down town and cry persistently at
night when be is particularly sleep v.
It may be the naughtiest, dirtiest,
ugliest, most fretful baby in all the
world, but you can never make its
mother believo it, and you had better
not try it ,
It can be a charming and a model
infant when no one is around, but
when visitors are present it can ex
hibit more bad tamper than both of its
parents together.
It can brighten up a house better
than all the furniture ever made:
make sweeter music tban the finest
orchestra organized;fill a larger place
in its parents breast than they knew
they had, and when it goes away it
can cause a greater vacancy and
leave a greater blank than all the
rest of the world put together.

THE WISE MOTHEE.
Your wise mother is not given to
worrying over trifles. She does not
expect perfection in a day. And she
has put from her, as far as the east is
from the west, the gastly possibility
of setting vanity up in the room of
love, v So she does not begin . with
.exhaustive attention to the minutia
of etiquette, knowing that way iies
' the danger of making her boys prigs
' and ber g!ri8 self-conscious society
misses before they are in their teens.
She lays down as the laws of her
househould the broad principles of

THE TEST OF HEE0IS1I.
'Here am I; send me."
The words mark the turning point
in a great caieer. They were utter
ed at what is wont to be termed
"the parting of way." They refer.to
the hour when an ancient Hebrew
tired of the lite which he had been
Hying, and receiving ne glimpse of
-tne neaveniy vision" resolved that
henceforth existence should be some
thing more than a barren waste; He
heard a voice calling him to. a new
career. He was not told that tne
new pathway would be always flow
er-strewn. He was not promised a
perennial greeting of smiline skies.

emisi ior the services? Was he
reaay to take the consequences?
was ne reaay to pledg unswerving
loyaity to a new commander? In kis
own words we find the, answer.
"Here am I, send me."
The old Hebrew never regretted
the fact that he answered the call
What visions were vouchsafed him
in the after years. Upon his head
was placed,? the circlet of divine
prophecy. It was he who told
the coraiqg of the king--the man
