THE MODERN BELLE.
She sits in the old fashioned parlor,
And rocks in her easy chair;
She is clad in silks and satins,
And jewels are in her hair;
She winks and giggles and simpers,
, And sirr.pe.-s and giggles and winks;
And though, she talks but little,
'Tis a good deal more than she thinks.
She lies abed in the morning
Till near the ho.'r of noon,
Then conies down snapping and snarling,
Because she wc.s called so soon;
Her hair still in pap'rs,
Eer cheeks still fresh with paint
Remains of her last night's blushes
. Bofore she intended to faint.
'
She dotes upon men uiiRhaven,
And men with "flowing hair;"
She's eloquent over moustaches,
They give such a foreign air.
She talks of Italian music,
And falls in love with the moon;
And if a mouse were to meet her
She would sink away in a swoon.
Her feet are so very little,
Her hands are so very white,
Her jewels so very heavy
And her head so very light;
Her color is made of cosmetics
(Though this she will never own),
Her body is made mostly of cotton,
Her heart is made wholly of stone.
She falls in love with a follow
Who swells with a foreign air;
He marries her for her money,
She marries him for his hair!
One of the very best matches
Both are well mated in life;
She's got a fool for a husband,
He's got a fool for a wife.

WHEN I GET RICH.
When I get rich, oh, many things I'll do
For all the poor folks, whose lives are full of care.
Their days, now drear, I'll make soweet and fair;
They'll know no grief, no sorrow, no despair,
When I get rich !
When I get rich the friends I love so dear
Shall know no more those weary, toilsome hours;
1 11 light their skies with sunshine, and the showers
Will scatter on their pathway fairest flowers,
When I get rich !
When you get rich! Those friends you loved so well
May not be here, but far beyond the skies,
And never know the hidden love that lies
Within your heart ah, foolish, vain surmise
When you get rich!
Wait not till rich, but haste to do it now!
Yes, scalier sunshine dry Ihe fulling lotir
Light up with hope the darkened heart und drear,
That may be near you oh, no'er mind the year
When you get rich.

A KINDLY JUDGMENT,
A KINDLY JUDGMENT 18 ONE OP TUX
RAREST THINGS ON EARTH, AND IT
18 ALSO ONE OF TUE MOST EXCELLENT.
The habit of harsh judgment is ungra
cious, ungentle and unchristian, but al
together too common among us. We
io proue to atliibute a bad motive. It
is not too much to say that no rather rel
ish a rumor which tells oainst u neigh
bor, and find a motlid comfort in i'.e
thought that people aro not so good us
they pretend to be or seem lo be, If a
man gives largely to a charily, our firi.t
impulse is to declare (hat there is a pur
pose in it which is not quite as eiecl'cnt
as appearances would indicate. If i wo
man cemuiils an indiscretion, either
willfully or through ignorance, we make
it by our harsh criticism just as hard for
her to heal the wound as possible. In a
word, we are not helpful to each other,
and are much more inclined to shove an
offender down hill than to pull him up
hill. W e are more apt to look on the
darkest side of other people's lives and to
think the worst of them than to look on
the bright side and think the best of
them. At the same time we would be
glad to have them look at us leniently
and find a good rather than a bad mo
tive. Doing unto others, however, as
you would have them do to you neither
tsuits our convenience nor our appetite,
A painter of ancient times was com
manded to make a portrait of his mon
arch. It so happened that I is Muiestv
had a very ugly scar on his face which
greatly disfigured him. The artist, with
kindly diplomacy, asked his Bitter to
lean his head on his hand, savins it
would give a finer pose. He then deftly
arranged matters in such a way that the
Sogers of the monarch entirely covered
the seir, and so the portrait was painted
with no scar visible. If we were to fol
low the example of the arlist and chari
tably cover up the scars on the lives of
our friends, or if, conscious that we need
mercy ourselves, we should exercise that
virtue toward others, or if, as commanded
by Christ, we should make not a weak
but a loving judgment of acts which
rums within our notice, we should soon
hear the rustle of angel wings in this
hard world, and the sweet perfumes of
the millennium would be wafted earth
ward. G. W.'Hepworth,

A girl, a daughter of Christian par
te, but not a Christian herself, married
man who was opposed to Christianity.
To this coupon was born a little son, who
be grew up, wus sent to ono of our
mission day schools. lie was also a
regular attendant nt Sunday school and
weekly children's meeting. One
y, when nine years old, he came home
ow school with a high fever, aud the
xt nmroing he wus no belli r. As he
lay in bed ho usked his mother lo let him
see the Kuiperor's picture, which was
nging on the wall, Holding it in his
nils ho said to Lis mother, "Tell the
mperor good-by, I ism going to God in
oven."
These were the last words he spoke
for all the skill of tho doctors could Dot
keep back the little life when Uod was
IliDg.
When we went to comfort the sorrow
ing mother, the said that before this she
had cared nothing about Christian teach
ing, but that when she heard the dying
words of her boy, she could not
help but believe io Ood and
heaven. Iq the hnmU of her
dead boy she placed a little testament, on
e fly-leaf of which sho wrote, "Wait
or me, I will meet you iu Paradise."
Siucethut time, although her husband
as never allowed her evon to step inside
church, at heart sho has been a true
Christian womaD. Children's Mission

THE VERGE OF PESSIMISM,
I ain't a-goin' to kick about the way this world is run;
I aint a-goin' to kick about the way I'm gettin' done,
I'm talkin' 'bout the sunshine an' the butterflies an' bees
An' the singin' of the brooklet, an' the murmurin' of the breeze,
Instid o' tellin' how the cow I bought two weeks ago,
Jes' nachelly quit giving milk which surely goes to show
That human nature in a trade ain't what it ought to be;
But then, I ain't a-goin' to kick about it; no siree!
The times that I have been swindled, well, they'd nearly fill a
book:
But you'll never hear me hintin' that my feller man's a crook;
The only proper way to tell my sentiments would be
To find some language which was growed inside of Mount Pelee
An' turn it loose like lava fur to bnra the land near-by
An' send up streaks o' lightnin' to illuminate the sky.
I aiu't a kickin'; I jes' let my difficulties slide. i
I now I couldn't do the subject justice if I tried.
As a rule of life, one finds that the
truth lies somewhero between first im
pressions and final decisions.

THE FIRST 20 YEARS-
Live as long as you may, the first
twenty years form the lorger part of your
life. They appear so when they ore
passing; they seem so when we look back
on them: and they take up more room in
our memory than all the years tbat come
fler them.
Take good care of the first twenty
ears of your life. Ou the use which
you make of them your happiness t
usefulness in after years will very largely
depend, See that they aro spent in
earning right habits und cultivating
good tastes.
AN ARTFUL SCHEME.
A uewly elected eflieial would some
times return home late at at night after
his wife had retired, and when she asked
him what time it was would answer,
About 12" or "A little alter miduiaht "
On one occasion instead of uiakiog
the Inquiry she said :
"Alfred, I wish you would atop that
clock. I cannot sleep for its noise."
All unsuspicious, he stopped the pen-
dulcirj. In the morning while dressing
his wife inquired artlessly.
Ob, by the way, what time did yitt
get home?''
"About midnight," replied the offi
cial.
"Alfred, look at tbat clock."

Do not confine your children to your

"The nicest and plessantest medicino I
have used for indigestion and constipa

I would not advise any woman to take
up physical culture nieroty as a fad. If
you do, it is very apt to end, as most
lads do, io vapor. Aim at some particu
lar, permanent improvement, and work
seriously for its accomplishment. It may
be fur the overcoming of soma physical
defect, either iuheritcd or acquired, it
may be for better lung development may
be for general health culture; it may be
for grace, poise, case of manner, symmet
rical development, or far the reduction
of weight. It matters not what may be
your particular object in taking up the
work, the first step must be always to
acquire strength; strength first of the
lower limbs and the vital organs, for on
this depends your poise and general car
riage.
A woman should never lake up the
practice of any vigorous exercise until
she has first acquired the habit of carry
ing the vital organs well raised a prom

CROUP.
The peculiar cough which indicates
oroup. is usually well known to the
mothers of a croupy child. No time should
be lost in the treatment of it, and for this
purpose no medicine has received more
universal approval than Chamberlain i
Cough Remedy. Do not waste valuable
time in experimenting with unlried rem
edies, no matter how highly they arc
recommended, but give this medicine as
directed and all symptoms ot croup wi
quickly disappear.
