THE GOOD-BYE KISS ATTHEDOOR.
Her eyes w ere illumed with a glanoe of
pride
And her heart with lre aglow
As she softly tripped to her husband's side
When beopeued the door to go.
And there in her morning wrapper trim,
While a smile her red lips wore,
She stood on the steps and gave t him
A good-bye kiss at the door.
She turns to her duties with cheerfil heart,
For she has not now tt learu
That the wife and husband must often part
When the daily bread is to earn;
And there's peace and joy in her gentle
breast
As she sews or sweeps the floor.
Aud every task is essayed with .est
Tor the good-bye kiss at the door.
And the htiebund striving in life's rough
i raee
Where there's little time for play,
Has 7iiany u glimpse of her smiling face
In his miud through the busy day.
And his look is tender, his eyes arc bright
As he cous his ledger o'er,
For he thinks of the welcome that awaits
at night,
And the good-bye kiss at the door.
0 wives and husbands, the warld is bright
When the heart with love doth glow,
And its path is smooth and its burden light
If you are willing t nuke thera so;
And the sun will shine through the darkest
day
And scatter the clouds that lower
And the roses that blossom along life's way
For the good-bye kiss at the door.

SYMPATHY.
POOIt ZEKLE.
Nothing in current politics is so auius
ing as the efforts of the Republican edi
tors to whistle from both Bides of their
mouths when confronted by the Senato
rial situation.
One day, if the chances seem in favor
of the Democrats controlling the Senate,
our Republican contemporaries philosoph
ically declare that this is best for the Re
publican party and just what it most de
desires. The next day, when things pick
up in favor of the Republicans, our ver
satile brethren beam with complacent
exultation that tht Grand Old Party is
till in the ring and the country is still
safe. The New York Tribune whistles
a variation en this medley by prot!inj
that the Republican party hopes that the
Democrats will control the Senate, but
insists that should the party see an
opportunity to prevent the Dem
ocrats' from securing that control pa
triotism will prompt it to make the sacri
fice! Such beautiful self-abnegation has not
been known since Johnny ate his sister's
gingerbread to save her the stomachache.
The Grand Old Party's attitude as it
performs this melancholy whistling feat
is strikiagly suggestive of the experience
of Lowell's rustic horo who
"stood on one foot fust.
And then be stood on t'other;
And on which one h felt the wust
He couldn't a told you, nuther."
Courier-Journal
"It is not merely the words, and the
form into which they are cast, when
sympathy is expressed, that will do good;
though sometimes when delicately and
appropriately worded, the sorrowing one
will preserve them for their own sake
that they may at a future day be applied
to the healing of grief elsewhere. There
is value in the simpliest expression of
unaffected interest and sincere concern
It deprives sorrow of the more or less
inseparable feeling of loneliness. It is a
proof to the stricken heart that the
burden is shared by others. With God's
blessing it applies help aud comfort.
He who has words at command will
do well to use them thoughtfully s.s
possible in the blessed ministration of
sympathy. Ho who has no choice of
words, but cau only in simple blunt ness
of speech make ninnifot his own concern
at his neighbor's distress, will do well to
be not too timid. The mere hand grasp,
with the transfigured look, and the fal
tering words that have genuineness of
soul in them, will tell the other nil ho
needs to know, and so will be effected the
good that a beneficent Father meant to
be effected when he made us capable of
sympathy and made sympathy a liuk
between bean and hearts."
WHAT IS THE USE?
Pay no attention to to slanderers and
gossipuiongers. Keep straight on your
course and let their backbiting die the
death of neglect. What is the use of
lying awake at nights brooding over the
remarks of some false i'ricud that runs
through your brain like lightning?
What is the use of getting iuto a wor
ry fret over gotip ihat has been set afloat
to your disadvantage by some meddlesome
busybody who has more timo than char
acter ?
These things cannot possibly injure
you, unless, indeed, you take notice of
them, and in combating them give them
standing and character.
If what is said about you is true, set
yourself riuht; if it is false, let it go for
what ii will fetch. If a bee stiugs you
would you go to the hive to destroy it;
would not, a thousand come upon you?
It is wisdom to say little concerning the
injuries you have rectived. We are
generally losers in the end if we stop to
lefute all the backbiting and gossiping
we may hear by the way.
