Till aCrlHIIINI OF TUIS LITTLI INC1- DKNT rtaVADSD THI WH0L1 CAB , We were riding on a trolley car as we sometimes do, for recreation and pleas ure, and to tea the growth and expan sion of Durban. It wu near the noon hour when the oar slowed op near t vine covered oottage and the motorman't wife ran out with a basket of dinner for her husband. As she approached the ear the motorman greeted her with "Hello sweetheart." Her pleasure waa evidenced by a smile and a hutily thrown kias over her shoul der aa ahe tripped back ta the porch. The annehine ol this incident pervaded the whole ear, aud even the staidest pas sengers smiled their approval. We venture the prophesy, there is a happy home and that motorman has the choicest bits that ean be prepared by dainty hands. We oan almost hear the little wife's heart tiogiog for joy all day long, just for that obeery "Hello, sweet heart 1" But yon say, what baa all this to do with new ideaa ? Oh we don't know. We have seen and beard to mnoh of the other kind of greeting that the practice of this method might be a new idea to some of ns. May all of ns who have wivea try the "Hello, sweetheart" meth od aud aee if the world our world at least is not the brighter for it.

SPIERS BROS., WELDON, KC. THE BOYS. BY JAMBS WI1ITC0MB RILEY. Where are tbey f the frienda of my childhood enohanted Tbe clear, laughing eyes looking baok In my own, And the warm, chubby Sogers my palma have so wanted, As when we raced over pink pastures of elover, And mocked the quail'a whirr and the bumble-bee's drone? Have the breeies of time blown their blossoming faces Forever adrift down the years that hava flown ? Am I never to see them romp bsek to their plaoea, Where over the meadow in sunshine and shadow, The meadow-larks trill, and the bumble-bees drone? Where arc they? Ah, dim in the dntt lies the olovcr ; The whippoorwill's call baa a sorrowful tone, And the dove's 1 have wept at it over and over I want the glad lustre of youth, and the oluster Of faces asleep where the bumble bees drone. PEACE. Peace, perfect peaoe in this dark world of sin I The blood of Jesus whispers peaoe within. Peace, perfect peace with thronging duties pressed, To do the will of Jesus, that ia rest. Peace, perfect peaoe with sorrow surging round 1 On Jesus' bosom naught but calm is found. Peace, perfect peaoe, with loved ones far away ? In Jesus keeping we are safe and they. Peace, perfect peace, our future here unknown I Jesus we know, and He is on the throne. Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing ua and ours, Jesus has vanquiahed death and all ita powers It is enough, earth's struggles soon will cease, And Jesus' call to heaven's perfect peace. OU.TUAT WI COULD PUT S0NQ8 UNDER OUR BURDENS. We can sing away our cares easier than we oan reason them away. The birds are the earliest to sing in the morn ing; the birds are more without care than anything else I know of. Sing in the evening. Singing is tbe last thing that robins do. When they have done their daily work, when they bsve flown their last flight end picked up their last morsel of food, and cleansed their bills on a napkin of a bongh, then on a top twig they sing one song of praise. I now they sleep sweeter lor it. Tbey dream muaio, for sometimes in tbe night they break forth in singing, and atop suddenly after the first note, startled by their own voice. Ob that we might aiog evening and morning, and let song tonch song all the wsy througbl Oh tbst we could put songs under our burdens! Oh that we oonld extract tbe sense of sorrow by song! Then sad things would not poison so much. Sing in the house teach your children to sing. When troubles come go at them with song. When griefs arise, sing them down. Lift the voice of praise against cares. Praise God by singing; that will lift you above trials of every sort. Attempt it. Tbey sing in heaven, and among God's people on earth song is tbe appropriate language of Christian feeling. Henry Wsrd Beecher. A DREAMER, I'd rather sing of Liberty, Though nameless to the end, Than fawn to prosper, and the knee To Mammon bend. I'd rather atand for human rights, Though to the world unknown, Than walk on Fame's alluring height! For self alone. I'd rather in a cabin dwell, Unmentioned all my days; Than to desert my principle For wealth or praise. I'd rsiher feel come work I'd wrought That would my brother bless, Than prostitute my honest thought For mere success. I'd ever hold in view Tbe white Christ as my goal, I'd rather know I had been true To my own soul. Than be required to sacrifice My spirit's inner light, And give my manhood aa the price To gain the height. A dreamer ? So to yon be seems Who eau such notions hold ? I am content to keep my dreams, Keep yon your gold. WHY UNCLE NED SAVED HIM- "That was a brave act I" ejaculated a Boatoo man as he stood on the wharf in a little Southern town and saw an old negro plunge unhesitatingly in tbe water to aave a very email boy who had stum bled and fallen from some piling. "A brave act, and he ia a hero, no matter how blaok hia akin is I" The Boetonian waa foremost in tbe group that gathered about Uncle Ned when be climbed baok on tbe dook with the rescued lad. "Your ton, ii it ?" ha queried. "Or, perhaps only your grandaon ?" There waa very fervent admiration in the down-easter's tones aa be pnt the queation. "No, suh ; no, sob," gurgled Uncle Ned. "Dat 111 rascal ain't no kinnery er mine" "Then it waa all the braver I" exclaim- od tbe interrogator, positively baring bis bead out of respeot for the old man's highborn courage. "Huh," sputtered the hero, you sbo don't think I'm durn fool 'oough to let dot boy drown when he's got every speck m my flth bait it bis pocket ?" Sumner Diarrhoea in Children.

In the remarkable diimisaion on reli gious problems now being held in The Sun nothing is more noticesble than the entire absence of bitter criticism and in tolerance. Your correspondents who sre perplexed with doubts in trying to solve the problem of the universe are anxious, not scornful. Giving expression to questionings does not mean that the searcher alter truth hu lost bis faith in God or hia belief in immortality, but it does mesn that the spread of free inquiry hu unshackled his mind from traditional errors which have bred bitter controversies in the past. Many of your readers of older years will remember tbe narrow-spirited bigotry of selfishness exhibited in many a country town by overxealous members of the sev eral churcbea there and the utter absence of tbe spirit of charity and brotherhood wbioh happily ia on the increase these lays. The sesroh for the unknowable will continue u long u tbe human mind en dures, but after all what does it profit a man ? Tbe old question by the patri arch Job. "Canst thou by searobing find out the Almighty ? spplies to-day of yore; and our sight will always be hid by a cloud. Still, the plant grows in the mist and under rhe olouds u truly as under the sunshine. Call religion mere sentiment, supersti lion or sn illusion, still the fact remains that it is the bulwark of our nation, the foundation of the American home. It teaches respeot for old age, reverenoe for womanhood, consideration for obildren; it builds hospitals and asylums for the afflicted, erects sohoolssnd colleges and feeds and clothes the poverty-stricken To its adharence to these principles docs this great nation owe its progress and pre-eminence, and to withdraw tbe re straining influence of the Gospel from the psssions of men woulu ' tove disas trous. Ask the devout oburebman, be be Catholio or a Protestant, aa to the proofs of Christianity, and he will tell you that hia religion ia true because it satisfies the soul. As of old, the great body of workers "hunger and thirst after right eousness, raith in Uod it still a living foroe among men. If you do not believe it, look at the groat number of communicants who go forth every Sunday morning to throng the eUlea of every Catholic church in your city; thoso "labor aod are heavy laden," No human agency, no gift of tongue draws theseiircd people out of their beds to early on a cold, stormy day to worship. Is fath dead when a refined Christian woman will stand on a street corner by the hour on a bitter December day ringing a bell, asking alma to feed the poor, as many a member of the Sal vation Army does yearly, "In II name ?" Never has the church been presented with such magnificent opportunities for helping humanity at at the present; but if the pceple receive a stone when they crave bread, tbey will seek righteous ness from other and unexpected sources The Christian is not afraid of the truth but Pilate's question, "What ia truth ? ana "Where is it to he found 7 is ss po tent todsy u ever.
