The lesson is beautifully taught in the following Indian legend : There was once a beautiful dam sel, upon whom one of the good PLMiii wished to bestow a blessing. He led her to the edge of a large Held of corn, where he said to her: "Daughter, in the Held before us the ears of corn, in the hands ; of those who pluck them in faith, i shall have talismanic virtues, and the virtue shall be in proportion to the size aud beauty of the ear gathered. Thou shall pass through the held once and pluck one ear. It must be taken as thou goest for ward, and thou shall not stop in thy path, nor shah thou retrace a , single step in quest of thine object, j Select an ear full and fair and ac- j cording to its size and beauty shall j i be its value to thee as a talisman." ; . The maiden thanked the good j ! genii, and then set forward upon j ' htr quest. ! As she advanced she saw many ; ears of corn, large, ripe and beau 1 timl, such as calm judgment might ! have told her would possess vir ! tues enough, but in her eagerness ! to grasp the very best she left these fair ears behind, hoping that she j might find one' still fairer. At i length, as the day was closing, she j reached a part of the field where I ilu stalks were shorter and thinner j and the ears were very small an J i j shriveled. - j ; She now regretted the grand I ears she had left behind and dis I dained to pick from the poor show ! around her, for here she found not an ear which bore perfect grain. She went on, but alas! only to find the stalks more and more fee ble and blighted, until in the end, the day was closing and the night coming on, she found herself at the end of the field without navtng plucked an ear of any kind. No need that the genii should rebuke her for her folly. She saw it clear : ly when too late.

This old world has many "isms," many different kinds of creeds, Any number religions, meeting all men's mental needs; All contain more or less merit, when you analyze the stuff, You may find a lot to credit, 'ef ye jes hunts long enough. THE PEACH BASKET HAT. The Fashion Bells Are Tolling and It is Being Borne to Its Last Resting Place. THE WAY TO HAPPINESS. Let L's Build Our House On the Hilltop of Cheerfulness. i Most folks differ with each other, alius' have, wherever found, But there's likeness, one to lother, wlien tne uuu.au y.m Some refined, models of neatness, others ignorant and rough, But in all a vein of sweetness, 'ef ye jest hunts long enough. ! Here's a fellow cross and crabbed, curt to everyone he meets, Snarls and snaps much like a ramu cur upon me t.uu, ...v...., Maybe his has been a hard lot, same might make you quite as gruff, But e'en here you'll find a kind spot, 'ef ye jes hunts long enough. Here's another, been a losin' manhood, 'till he's now bankrupt. Many years he's been a boozin', many more may keep it up; Ragged, lothsome, shunned by creatures, suiismi Here too, may be found God's features, et ye ics iiu.. There's a youngster who's had trouble jnuff to crush the stoutest chap, Sides disease that's warped him double, lost all in some Bunco s trap: dt rvirries nn a bloOlllitl bluff, rveeus u si.o up umu a una ", And you'll find sand in his box still, 'ef ye jes hunts long enough. These with scores on scores of others, we call shy, and sour, and small, All these people are our brothers, if God be Father of us all; All have some good in their keeping-diamonds many in the rough- ! "Easy found when love goes seeking, an' jes hunts 'em long enough. UNTIL THE DAY BREAK. A human soul went forth into the night, Shutting behind it Death's mysterious door, And shaking off with strange, resistless might The dust that once it wore. So swift its flight, so suddenly it sped As when by skillful hand a bow is bent The arrow flies those watching round the bed Marked not the way it went. Heavy with grief, their aching, tear-dimmed eyes Saw but the shadow fall, and knew not when Or in what fair or unfamiliar guise It left the world of men. It broke from Sickness, that with iron bands Had bound it fast for many a grievious day; And Love itself with its restraining hands Might not its course delay. Through the clear silence of the moonless dark, Leaving no footprint on the road it trod, Straight as an arrow cleaving to its mark The Soul went home to God. "Alas !" they cried, "he never saw the morn, But Ml asleep outwearied with the strife." Nay, rather, he arose and met the Dawn Of everlasting Life. t primidknt: W. K. DANIEL, vuk-1'Kks.iikst: )k. II.

And peradventure it is better to be supported than to be hnny. Selah ! The "peach-basket" hat is dead. The fashion bells of Paris are toll ing, and its being born to its last , resting place in the discard where i tire buried the "Merry Widow" and the sheath skirt. They tell us furthermore that many ol the my riads of "rats," "puffs," "rolls" . and all kinds of false hairing fixing will be laid to rest in the near fu ture and woman will once more appear somewhat in the form in ; which she was created. Full many a pretty face has been hlnnmina unseen beneath the peach-basket. Many a smiling countenance has been buried be neath its depths. It was a mon strous mass of straw, fruits, vege tables and other funny things. Paris must have invented it as a joke, and laughed in its sleeve when the women of the world took it seriously. Merc man could see in it no element of beauty, no line of grace and nothing on earth to commend it. But lovely woman two ihf hnrden without a mur- mur. i "Better be dead than out of j fashion," seems to be the motto of j many of the ladies. For whatever the fashion-makers decree, the t women adopt. Theirs not to ques-1 tion why; theirs but to go and buy. j They bought the "Merry Widows" j by the acre, and in time learneu 10 ; sail them round like experts; to i taek tn iihe and navigate them in j any wind. When tl peach-basket was brought forth the ladies riivpd in and even convinced them selves that, there was something beautiful in the queer monstrosi ties they were required to carry around on their heads. Now, having had their little joke on the women of the world, the creators of Fashion have prepared a new exhibition. According to ; advices from the center of interest, ; they have decreed that all the hats ; now in use or heretofore bought j and paid for must be discarded, j They have changed the fashion so completely that papa will nave me , privilege of Uniying headgear for the family Hie coming season- i The edict has gone forth: "Next season the turban and the toque not the gentle line hat the men would like to see, but a Huge crea tion that will stand a foot and a i.i.iF hiuli and will make the wearer look as martial as a Russian drum- The fur hat itsell runs up a story or two and the tower and minaret effect is added by an aig rette" whatever that may be- that slicks up like a young tree, it is not stated whether the prices will be as high as the "aigrettes," but after his experience with the "Merry Widow" and the "peach basket," father fears the worst Baltimore Sun Misfortune and trials are great educators, and the way to happi- j uess does not lie in attempting to bring our circunvstances up to our ! minds, but our minds down to our j circumstances. Let us build our j house on the hilltop of cheerful ness, so high that no shadows may rest upon it, and where the morn ing comes early and evening tar-, ries lak. She is to be pitied whose house is in some valley of grief, with the longest night and shortest day. God has put us here to make i the world brighter and happier by our lives and every one of us : should study how to be a blessing ' to others. We must get the wrin kles out of our brow and we must ! have smiling faces. Let a man go home at night worn and wearied i by the toils of the day and how soothing is a word dictated by a ; cheerlul disposition. It is sunshine ' falling on his heart. He is happy i and the cares of life are forgotten. I Q.niiec kind words and looks characterize the children, and peace and love have their dwell ings there. Home should be the center of joy.

When the heart action is weak, it fails to pump the blood through the lungs with sufficient rapidity. Then the lungs do not absorb' the proper amount of oxvgen, although they may be taking in a normal amount of air.
