It was during the piogri'ss of the .ic nic pi ven in Jimiipin's drove by the MrilmdU Siiblnilli m IkiuI ul' llawvillo, Okla. Alkali Ike, who si u us W in the choir, ond Miss l.illiu Cusack, the wi tjiio, liad wanilircd a t-liart distunce from the cenc of I lie festivities iidJ sciiUd thcnisclvM on a moss covered log which lay at the foot of a tail tree. The iiil1:iiit's arm had strayed around the niaiilcn's rlcmlir waist and lingered t In re, npi arcnlly to the profound satis fuctiou of both pusons, and Isaac had asked, for the sixteenth time: "ocs oo love me, l.illiu?" "Course I do!" replied the maid, snuggiDg closer to him. "I love you goodcr than any Oh, mercy ! I do be licvc there is some kind of a horrid an imal up in this tree !" "We'll soon see !" remarked Ike grim ly, at the same time drawing his revolver and firing a few shot into the foliage above. "I'll stir tho varmint up a little, anyhow." At that instant a reproachful voice was heard proceeding from the canopy of leaves above their heads : "How long, oh, Lord? How long? "What the dev ; that is, who are you?" demanded Ike. "All that remains of Hercules 1. Smith," was the reply. "I was in swim ming before the pieknickers came, aod a cow ate up the most of my clothes be fore I noticed her. I chased her through a blackberry tangle, and then a stray dog, that appeared to be mad, chased mc back again. Then the coming of the Sabbath school drove me up this true, aud hero I have been ever since, with a hornets' nest on one Lough and a snake on another. And now you are trying to finish the job by assassinating mc." "Why didn't you come down before?' "Well, you see, I happen to ho CD- gaged myself to Miss Cusack, whom you arc hugging."

When the court oo an extremely Wes tern circuit was convened and tho lusi ncss was about to begin, says the Detroit Free Pres.-", it was discovered that there were neither pens, ink uor paper for the use of the Bench or the Bar. "How is this, Mr. Clerk?" inquired the Judge. "There is no money allowed for it by the county, sir, and wo can't got tho ar tides without money." The Judge made several remarks not at all complimentary to iho county." I've been in a good many courts," put in a pompous and pedantic lawyer from the East temporarily to try a case, "but this is tho worst I ever saw." The Judge jumped him on tho spot. "You are fined 10 for contempt, sir," thundered. "Hand tho fine to the clerk, sir." Mr. Liwycr kicked, but he had to hind over the money or go to jail, and the Judge wouldu't have it any other way." Mr. Clerk," said the Judge, when the fine had been handed him, "go out and gel all the pens, ink and paper nec essity for tho use of this oourt and give the gentleman back his change," and the clerk did as ho was ordered and the vis iting attornery maintained a discreet si lence. "HE QUIET." An excellent story was toll) at a Lon don charity dinner tho other night. Mr Sydney Holland, the chairman of the l'oplur Hospital for Accidents, is reported as follows : 'One day a man was brought in who was thought to bo dead. His wife was with him. Oneof the duc'ors suid, "lit is dead," but the Mian rai'd hit head and said, "No, I am not (h ud yet," where upon his wile admonish, d l.iin, saying : Be iiuiet, the doctor ought to know best."

Wild rose at night, When sets the sun, thy petals sink to rest, Folded as though in prayer across (hy breast In sweet delight.

Tell mc thou art The perfect model of transieot joy ; The first fair love that charms the grow ing boy, And stirs his heart, I would forget The long ago when first I saw thy face, Upturned and lovoly with a perfumed grace That haunts mc yet.

Wc shall lulgo at tho Sign, or the Grave, jo i say! , Yet tho roid is a long one we trudge, my friend, So why should we grieve at tho break of the day?

Well, Biuoo wc are nearing the jour ney's end, Our hearts must bo merry while yet they may; Lot us driok, let us love, let us sing, let us play, For perchance, it's a comfortless ion, my friend. Percy Addleshitw in tbj! AtheuAOta, Did you ever think how inviuciblo is the armor of defense alforded by perfect politeness? asks Harper's Hazir. Neither man, woman nor child can resist it. The quick tempered Irish maid who loses her hold on her tongue so readily and an swers back with a hot retort is abashed when her mistress meets her with quiet courtesy. The angry person, off guard and saying what he really does not mean, is foiled by the self control of his inter locutor, who has not for an instant for gotten the gracious manner good breed ing;- Politeness is perhaps instiuetivo with some, but with the majority it is a mat ter of training, of the slow and careful discipline of voice aod eyo and carriage. it is partly derived from association, no doubt, for every one recalls the grand bearing and dignified manners of certain old servants, notably the negro sorvants of the old regime, men and women who had caught tho very air and inflections of their masters and mistresses. Hut it is vet)' much more than this, It descends to many a small detail. It rises to the height of conscientious attention to tho rights of others, almost to religion indeed lor religion i brotherly lovo and chanty, and politeness epitomis ;s these). Very sensitive people who suffer acute y from fancied slights can save them si'iv. many wounds by always being as scrupulous iu giving as they are in ex aoting ouurtesy. To suffer in oneself i rudeness is to lay oneself open to the same. In nothing should we bo less economical than in politeness. It should Wad us to prompt and generout acknowl edgment of every kinJncss, to responsive thanks when a gift, however small, is hrought to our door. It should obli us to listen with patient attention even to the person whose conversation is not entertaiuiog, to sit apparently absorbed when in public wo are seated at a concert or a lecture. This defensivo armor, smooth, so polished, s i easily worn, will make our intercourse with society agroe able. On the streets a shapely ankle Glances to itself doth bring, Whioh at the seashore in the summer Are quite, above that sort of thing. X. Y. Umild. And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany j and he lodged there. Matthew xxi., 17. After a day of continuous harassment in Jerusalem Jesus needed tho repose which only coufiding friendship could (urni.sh. By the light of the stars be found his way to the little village of Bethany, two miles distaut, and enjoyed the hospilality of a household consisting of Martha, Mary and Lazarus. It is left to the imagination to picture that group of four, for liistory has only given us Lioad outlines and is np lectful of details. What comfort came to that tired heart, what subjects were discussed, what hopes or fears were in dulged in during the evening's conversa tion, we shall never know. But we may venture to say that this Son of God found rest and strcneth within the walls of that happy Hebrew home. It was like a straio of soft music to the traveller who has sought his couch, and He sank into dreamless sleep under its soothing influence. The home is our asylum, and the love of dear ones is our defence. In the plan of divine Providence the home occupies a position of conspicuous importance. A happy home is the prophecy" of a useful life for every child reared under its be nignant watchfulness; a home io which discord prevails sends its boys and girls into the world with handicapped aspirations. The child who carries sweet memories with him carries also a shield of protec tion, Lut he who bears embittered memo ries falls easier prey to the evils which will attack. A happy home in tho back ground throws a radiance on each buc cecdini! dav. even though the day be stormy and tempestuous. The good father lives in tho life o tho boy long after that father had cross ed the threshold of a cemetery, and the good mother still speaks to the daughter when that daughter has children of her owo. No mortal can have a better starting point than a pious and soul satisfying home. It is a thoussnd times better to have an honest father and a true hearted mother than to inherit riches or social position. An empty wallet and a father's blessing, a gingham gown and a mother's love are a safer equipment for the attainment of happiness than mil lions of money without the blessing and tho love. We are making some serious mistakes on this subject, and they will cost Its many a heartache by and by. We arc too ambitious for our children in the direction of social prominence and too neglectful of Ibcm in the direction of character. Daughters are brought up to believe that the clue! end ol lit o is to marry a bank account and an equipage ratbei than a mau. When tho surplus becomes a deficit, however, as it sometimes does, and the equipage is sold under the ham mer, the poor girl wakes up to discover that she has had an establishment for a lew years, but not a home. Hie logie of events is relentless, and mutual affeo- tion, which is the only thing worth living for, since it sweetens and deepens with adversity, is found to be wanting, A A lovo that depends for its oontinuance on good fortune has very small value, and yet marriage vows are taken every day which have their origin in avaiice, and will certainly be broken unlcsi the ava rice eontinues to bo satbfied. There is no further foundation for a true homo than tho union of two soult by the bonds of holy affection. Other experiments have been tried, but no sub stitute for that affection has boon found nor is it likely that it will be. The end to be sought is happiness, aud if you fail in that you fail in every thing. A wounded heart is not healed by costly medicament, and riches never yet suppressed a sigh. Grief over with cred hopes cannot bo assauged by dia monds and splendor, and many a woman has beeu driven to desperation and wronj? doing because, in spite of her credit at the bankers', she found it impossible to live on iudifferenec and neglect. We must throw our financial theories to the winds and be brave enough to obey natural law. A man is a man, and a woman is a woman. Whatever else he needs, the man needs love most ol all, for this is a hard life and love alono keeps hira in trim for the contest. If ho can not have it ho takes exeitomcnt instead and then the end is not far off. What ever else the woman craves, it is all sub ordinate, whether she knows it or not, to the oonhding election ot a manly man, and if that is denied her her nature be comes volcanio and irrepressible. Without the restraining influence ot love wo all become more or less demoniac. But if we have it we can part with every thing besides and still be oontent, cannot be reversed. In your home, therefore, and regard ing your children, you should teacn tne boys and girls that they will develop in dependence of character and moral prin ciple. What the world may suy should influence them very little, but what they themselves think is right should influ ence them a great deal. Plain and solid common sense is worth more than any thing else Of two lovers a good poor man is better than a bad rich mau. Pic tures and furniture and rugs and footmen are desirable in their way, but you cannot afford to give a human heart for them. It may be unpleasant to live in a side street, but a side slreet with peace is bet tor lhan the avenue wilh misery. Your acquaintances may shrug their shoulders it is their privilege to do so if they hoose but if the home is bright and heerful what care you? If fathers aud mothers would see to it that their liuuits arc made happy, and have no other desire than that their chil dren should make happy homes for them selves, Ibis barter and sale which enters so largely into our views of marriage would cease and the millcnium would come this wty. What this old world needs is sterling and unwavering moral principle, and the independence to stand by it. These grand qualities of character must be taught in the home by parents who believe in them and exemplify them in their own lives, or they will never be acquired at all. After that you can trust both sons and daughters to reach a safe conclusion when they are called upon to leave the hearth stone of their childhood and make a new home for themselves. They will have already learned that though riches and happiness sometimes go together, it is better to depend on happiness rather than riches for a safe journey through life. NoTlilNii Strange.
