the eourt ao'low: -i- -s a y
'Tlila la aanait painful position Air me.

rule and advance hi broader principle;
tiie spirit of the law rather than iu letter

may again I permitted to enter those
fields of exertion aud enterprise where I
may reclothe myself with the honor aud

repeat and renew the pledge of reform 1

A LESSON,
' Mrs White educated her husband bally

opiiii him always. Wliau ha came home
of an evening brought him bis slippers
snd gowu aud look a a ay his bouts. If
tbey were gutng away' she ' laid his clothes

braiJied hi cost, snd reminded bim of
everything Jie had. forgotten. Now, Mr.
While becntne aoaucobtoiued to this sort
of thing' that ho' ' took ' it as a ' mutter of
course, and did not realize how ' much of
hie wife's time we consumed by his halfwit
uess. ; But. the time waa eomiug when , bis
eyea ware lo be opened. i? Jl cbasood that
00 one occasion, , when" coutemplatiug a
journey together, the couple missed the
trsiu. It i your fault," said Mr White
to hi patient wife. I sat , in tbe buggy
waiting for yoa for ten ; niiootaa. Yes,
said Mrs Whuo. and every time 1 start
ed down stair you act mo back for soma-.'
thing yoa had fore.it ten. Wbereopon- a
sharp (parrel ensued! for Mrs White was
rooted at,l4. Tbe upabot of tbe matter
waa that tbey pot off their visit until ibe
tbe next week, and it wss agreed that each
one should get him or hemelf ready aud go
down to the train and go, aud the one who
ailed to get ready should be left. 7 1 be
day of the match came routid in due time.
The train wae lo leave at balf-pM ten
o'clock, and Mr White, after attending to
In tiuaiueMi, went hum st a quarter before
ten o'clock. Now. then. he shouted.
" imly three-quarter of ao hour to train
time. Jmj aruuod : a fair field and ho
favors, and know.' Aud away they flew
Mr White made a great deal of noise, and
dived into one closet after another with in
conceivable rapidity, I while Mra White set
sbout ber -taws , wnb calm deliberation.
Mr W bit first check occurred when he
searched for his shirt. , He emptied a
drawer of it entire euuteot before ascer
taining that it belonged to hi wife. ' Then

when tbe humanely informed him thtt they

ssiug cuff-buttoui occasioned tbe next
delsy. He bad left ibeui 00 the sitling-
room mantel-piece, Mra W lute said. By
this lime it waa a quarter past tea o'clock,
and Mra White, wbo bad steadily atten
ded to ber own affair, waa just putting on
her bonnet. 4. 1 my valive packed '(' asked
the filming man. .No, alia aai.l. I bad
hardly time to pack my own.' S!ie was pas
sing out of ibe gate, wben ho shouted an
inquiry eoncerhing fiui vest. He informed
him that be threw it on tbe bat rack, bad
him good-by. and went smilingly ou her
way. And jut aa lb car moved out of

Mrs White wait on him 110 more.
THOUGHTFUL THOUGHTS.
The pleaaurve of I hi world are ilecvit-
ful; Ihey proinle more titan they give.
Tbey trouble ua in seeking them, they do
not satisfy ua when iieolng them, and
they make ua despair In loosing them.
He who says education " aaye govern
ment; to teach U lo reign; the human
brain la a sort of terrible wax that take
I best imp of good or evil, according to
whether au Ideal touches it or aolaw
seixea lb '.- ,
Of all the love on earth the one most like
the divine love la that of the good mother
so uiOHrlflsh, uuforgetiiug, watchful, con
siderate, free from jealousy, and desiring
the good of Iter children far more than her
own hni)iiiuaa. ! '
The human heart i like a tnlll-stone in
a mill; when you put wheat uuder it. It
tuna and grinds, and brulaee the wheat
Into flour; If you put no wheat Into it, it
al ill grinds on, but then It Is itself It grind,
ami ll slowly wearee away. "'
Themiar loilafor rkhes, the hero for
fame, the scholnr Hint hit name may lie
known Incoming age. How much higher
and itohktr the aim of the Christian who
la living for eternity toiling for a crown
