there is the presentation of Jesus

I was sitting in my study
Writing letters, when I heard :
"Please, dear mama, Bridget fold me,
Mama musn't be disturbed.
"But I'se tired of the kitty,
Want some uzzer sing to do;
Witing letters? isoo, mama?
Tan'i I wite a letter, too?"
Not now, darling, mama's busy,
Run and play with kitty now,
"No! No! mama, me wite letters,
Tan if oo will show me how."
I would paint my darling's portrait
As his sweet eyes searched my face,
Hair of gold and eyes of azure,
Form of childish witching grace.
But the eager face was clouded
As I slowly shook my head,
Till I smiled, "I'll make a letter
Of you darling boy instead."
So I parted back the tresses
From his forehead high and white
And and a stamp in sport I pasted
Mid the waves of gold and light.
Then I said, "Now little letter,
Run away and bear good news,"
And I smiled as down the staircase
Clattered loud the little shoes.
Leaving me the baby hastened
Down to Bridget in his glee,
"Mama's writing lots of letters,
I'se a letter Bridget, see?"
No one saw the baby figure
As he climbed once more the stair,
Reached his little cap and lippet,
Standing on the entry chair.
No one heard the front door open,
No one saw the golden hair,
As it floated o'er his shoulders
In the crisp October air.
Down the street the baby hastened
Till he reached the office door,
"I'se a letter, Mr. Postman,
Is there room for any more ?
"I ause dis letter's doin' to papa,
Papa lives wiv Dod, you know;
Mama sent me for a letter,
Does oo fink I tan go?"
But the clerk in wonder answered,
"Not to-day, my little man";
"Then I'll find anozzer office,
Tause I must do, if I tan."
Fain the clerk would have detained him,
But the eager face was gone,
And the hurrying little figure
By the busy crowd swept on.
Suddenly the crowd was parted,
People fled to left and right,
For a pair of maddened horses
At that moment dashed in sight.
Tenderly they raised my darling,
Brushed away the waves of gold,
Saw the stamp in sport I'd pasted,
On the forehead white and cold.
Not a mark the face disfigured,
Showing where the hoof had trod,
But the little life lay ended,
"Papa's Inter" whs with God.

SKELETON IN EVERY HOUSEHOLD.
Only the People Inside the House
Know of its Existence.
It is said there is a skeleton in
every household. The skeleton
is locked up put away in a cup
boardand rarely seen. Only the
people inside the house know of
its existence. But the skeleton,
nevertheless, cannot long be con
cealed. It comes to light some
way or other. The most common
skeleton is poverty. Poverty is a
great secret, kept at any pain by i
one-half of the world from the oth
er half. When there is nothing
laid by nothing saved to relieve
sickness when it comes nothing to
alleviate the wants of old age, then
is the skeleton hidden away in
many a cupboard. We do not
value money for its own sake, and
we should be the last to encourage
a miserly desire to hoard among
any class, but we cannot help re
cognizing in money the means of
life, the means of comfort, the
means ot maintaining an nonest
independence. We would, there
fore, recommend every young
man and woman who read this
paper to begin life by learning to
save; to lay up for the future a
certain portion of every week's
earnings, be it a little or much to
avoid consuming every week or
every year the earnings of that
week or year; and we counsel them
to do this, as they would avoid the
horrors of dependence, destitution
and beggary..' It is a true saying
that a penny'in the purse is better
than a friend at court. The fact
of its being saved and laid up in
dicates self-denial, forethought,
prudence and wisdom. It may be
the gem of future happiness, the
beginning of independence.

A boy can sii still on a sled six !

goes to sleep. A man will pouch
his cheeks with filthy tobacco,
juice runs down to his chin, feels
goods but a hair in the butter kills
him. He stays out till midnight,
wife don't know where lie is,
conies home when he pleases, but
if a meal is not ready just on time,
pouts; frowns, and says unpretty
things. Evidently man is a strange
animal. Gets full, beastly drunk,

Friendship, like love, is one
of the few things in life that
money cannot buy.
No one ever gained a friend
by telling of the affairs of those
who have been their friends.
First of all, it is necessary
that you learn your friends' pe
culiarities and that you respect
them.
Small deceits, petty lies, will
make enemies of friends and
will cause more than juBt the
two concerned to be unhappy.
Sometimes for reasons they
best understand two friends
separate to see nothing more
of each other. Then comes the
trial.
If ever you were a friend you
will be able to keep quiet as to
the weaknesses of your old
friends, to remember that con
fidences criven vou when you
were close together are to be
respected more than ever now.
Next, never permit yourself
to speak or to listen to any dis
agreeable words aoout inem.
If you are in doubt as to some
speeches they have made, or
some action of theirs go to them
and aBk them what they mean.
