ITS MIGHTY
BY Kl'GENl: FILXD.
Oh, it's mighty comfortin' when your hair is gettin' thin,
And ihe wrinkles in your face have come to stay,
Just to feel her little hand snioothin' out each silver strand,
While you meet her lovin' look and hear her say :
"John, my dear, ii seems as though every day you live you grow
Handsomer than in the olden days !"
And you smile back at your wife while you think in all your life
You never heard a sweeter word of praise.
Then, somehow, the teardrops rise to your dim, old, fadin' eyes,
While you kiss the tender hand still white and small,
And you try to tell her how you loved her then you love her now,
But, bless me, if the words will come at all !
For just then it comes to you to think of trials she's gone through,
And borne without a murmur for your sake;
You can only bow your head at the lovin' things she's said,
And your poor old heart can only ache and ache.
But she knows what ails you then, and she kisses you again,
While you hear her gently whisper, sweet and low:
"Life has brought more hopes than fears; we have known more smiles
than (ears;
You are the dearest dear of dears, John Anderson, my Jo.' "
So it's comfiirtin',' I say, when your hair is gettin' gray,
And you're slippin' down life's hill a'mighty fast,
Just to feel her little hand sirokin' back each silver strand,
While she whispers that she loves you to the last.
DON'T TAKE IT TO HEART.
Don't take it to heart, my little friend,
When ihe world seems to use you unfair;
Just believe that the worst soon must mend,
Thai the dreariesi road has an end;
And that some day a full measured share
Shall be given to you as your part,
So don't take it loo much to heart.
Don't cry when endeavor proves vain
To work out some sweei, kindly deed;
You may feel all the hurt and ihe pain
For ihe loss that was yours, but the gain
Was the trying to do, and the meed
God will give unto you by and by;
So take heart of His love and don't cry.
Don't lake it to heart if your best
Is reckoned as not of much worth;
A failure is gain oft confessed,
And God sees it, blessing and blest.
As a gracious sweet gift to the earth;
W hy seek for the earth's empty smile
God will make it all right in a while,
Don't cry when you see your years speed
As a cloud-shadow under the sun,
And you stand as a wind-broken reed,
Weary, wailing, helpless, in need,
And the sands of your glass nearly run;
God will call you up home by and by
Be patient, dear heart, and don't cry.
Take nothing to heart but ihe thought
That God knows us just as we are;
That He misses no sheaf that we have brought,
That He knoweih all we have yearned for and sought,
That He judges all kindly and fair;
Don't fret, then, dear heart, neither cry
God's kingdom will come by mid bv.

Men are always trying to get rid

THE BENEFIT OF CHANGE.
It is the Mother of a Household
Whose Life is Chiefly. Threat
ened by Monotony.
One of the worst foes ol human
life is monotony. The whole hu
man being, body mid soul, rebels
agriinsi ii. After long residence in
one place the blood begins in run
sluggishly; the appetite fails, the
mind becomes dull and the feelings
stupitied. Mind and body act and
read upon one another, livery
1 physician rccognies the value of
change, not only the change of air
' and diet, but change of surround
ings, as a medicine for the sick.
Change of scene stimulates the
! mind and 'heart to activity, and
these reacting on the body rouse it
to the greater vitality and effort,
i until the whole system is renova-
; ted.
It is the mother of a household
whose life is chiefly threatened by
monotony. She stays at home.
She is always in ihe house seeing
the same things, hearing the same
voices, doing the same work day
after day, with endless regularity.
The demands upon her time and
strength and love and patience are
increasing, and the wonder is that
she does not break down more
frequently than is actually ihe case.
The fact occurs too often,, and in
such cases an ounce of prevention
is worth many pounds of cure.
When mother begins lo look
hollow-eyed and weary; when she
wakes in the morning unrefreshed
to drag through a weary day, then j
; is the time to send her away, if ;
only for a short while. Of course !
she will object. There is the sew- i
ing to be . done, the preserves to ;
attend to, and besides it is impossi-!
ble to leave the children and equal
ly impossible to take them with
her. Don't listen to her objection. '
She has reached the point where
she is too exhausted to plan and
carry out such an undertaking
herself. If she could plan it she!
would not need it. But let her
husband, whom she has served so
faithfully, or the oldest daughter, j
to whom she has given her life,
arrange all matters, so she can
leave home with her heart at ease ;
about the children. Call in some '
relative or friend to help to stay
with ihe little ones, and send the
dear, tired mother as far away j
from home as it is possible to get '
her, and keep her away until she
is strong again in nerves and body.
A DAKOTA STORY.
j I was talking with a Dakoian the
I other day. "Speaking of farms,"
I he said, "we have some siable
farms out in Dakota. Yes, sir,
; I've seen a man on one of our big
farms start out in the spring and
plow a straight furrow till fall.
Then he turned around and har
vested back."
"Wonderful !" said I.
; "On our Dakoia farms," he
! went on, "it's the usual thing to
i send young married couples out to
! milk the cows. Their children
' bring back the milk."
"Wonderful !" I repealed,
j "Once," he said, "I saw a Da
i kola farmer's family prostrated
with grief The women were
weeping, the dogs were barking,
i ihe children were squalling, and
! the tears ran down the farmer's
j cheeks as he hitched up his twenty
i mule team and drove off."
I "Where was he going ?" said
j "He was going halfway across
the larm to teed the pigs.
"Did he ever get back ?" I
asked.
It isn I time lor him yet,
the reply.
