WHAT WILL THE NEIGHBORS SAY?
Keeping House lor One's Own
Comfort.
He was wise who wroie: "Half
the siing of poverty or of small
means is gone when one keeps
house for one's own comfort, and
not for the comment of one's
own neighbors." Deny it as we
will, few of us have the moral force
to sei up a standard of our own,
based upon our own incomes and
our own particular house environ
ments. We commit the Fully of
regulating our expenses by the in
come of some one else. If the
Browns across the street hang yji
expensive lace curtains, we are
discontented until lace curtains
have gone up to our windows, no
matter how much smaller our in
come may be than that of the
browns. If the Smiths put down
a velvet carpet onr neat and pretty
ingrain becomes an eyesore to us.
We are extremely mindful of what
our neighbors will think about many
things thatshould not concern them
in the least. We have no standard
of our own. Our dress and even
our tables must be regulated by
the standard, of others. We have
not the courage nor the indepen
dence to be different to the com
ment of our neighbors. This form
ot moral cowardice is causing
many families to live beyond their
incomes. They can face debt, and
forfeit their self-respect easier than
they can face the unfavorable com
ment of their friends and neigh
bors. The extent to which this
imitation of others is carried would
be ludicrous, if it did not bring
so much unhappiness in its train.
It is frequently the direct cause of
discord and discontent and debt
that have driven happiness from
the family hearthstone. Let us
have a standard of our own, based
upon our needs, and let us bravely
adhere to this standard, heedless
of that dreadful bugbear: "What
will the neighbors say?"

GUILTY OR NOT CUILTY?
She stood at the bar of justice,
A creature wan and wild,
In form too small for a woman,
In feature too old for a child.
For a look so worn and pathetic
Was stamped on that fair young face,
It seemed, long years of suffering
Musi have left their silent trace.
"Your name?" said the judge, as he eyed her
With kindly look, yet keen.
"Is Mary Maguire, if you please, sir,"
"And your age?" "I have turned sixteen."
"Well, Mary," and then from a paper
He slowly and gravely read.
"You are charged here, I am sorry to say ii,
With stealing three loaves of bread.
You look not like an offender
And 1 trust that you can show
The charge to be false; now tell me,
Are you guilty of this, or no?"
.A passionate burst of weeping
Was at first her sole reply,
But she dried her tears in a moment
And looked in the judge's eye.
"1 will tell you just how it was, sir,
My father and mother are dead,
And my linle brother and sisters
Were hungry, and asked me for bread.
At first I earned it for them
By working hard all day,
But somehow times were hard, sir,
And the work all fell away.
"I could get no more employment,
The weather was bitter cold.
The young ones cried and shivered,
Little Johnnie's but three years old,
So what was I to do, sir?
I am guilty, but do not condemn:
I took, oh, was it stealing?
The bread to give to them."
F.very man in the courtroom,
Graybeard and thoughtless youth,
Knew, as they looked upon her,
That the prisoner spoke the truth,
Out from their pockets came kerchiefs,
And out from their eyes came tears,
And out from old faded wallets
Treasure's hoarded for years.
The judge's face was a study.
The strangest you ever saw,
And he cleared his ilu o.ii and murmured
Something about the law.
Tor one so learned in such mailers,
So wise in dealing wuh men,
I le seemed on a simple ttiesiion
Sorely puz.led just then.
But no one blamed him or wondered,
When al length these words were heard :
"The sentence of ihis young prisoner
Is for the present deferred."
And no one blamed him or wondered
When he went to her and smiled,
And tenderly led from the courtroom,
Himself the guiliy child.
OUT OF IT ALL.
Something will come to us out of it all,
Something will come, though the shadows fall,
To cheer and comlort and bring us hope;
Something will come though we seem to grope
Aimlessly round in the whirl of things -To
lift us out of (he doubt on wings
Of hope and courage and strength and might
Something will lead us along to light!
Something will come to us in good lime,
Something of music and mirth and chime
To pay for this pitiful, day by day
Plodding and suffering sort of a way;
Blinded travelers somewhere cast
Between two peaks of To Come and Past;
Something will come to us after awhile
To heal with its everlasting smile !
Something will come to us out of this dream
Of bolt and mallet and roar and steam;
Hurly-burly, and up and down
Myriad millions, threading the town
As bees the pastures, to" starve or fly,
To mount to the summits, or fall and die;
Something will come in ihe end, no doubt,
To prove that He knows what it's all about !
Something will come to us whither we crawl,
Baffled and beaten and blind and dumb -Something
more sweet than the dark will come,
Something so beautiful tine and true,
We don't know wh it in the world to do
Willi ihe rolling Hood id its joy and sweet
And its bloom and us beauiv around our feel !
THE INEVITABLES.
"Why So Hot My Little Man?''
sis
One of the sayings that keeps re
curring to me is Emerson's "Why
so hoi, little man ?"
Why, indeed! Why sweat and
stew, risk your heart, while all
around you stand the Inevitables,
biding their lime !
The Inevitables surround my
life as the mountains are around
about the valley.
Over every man is some sword
of Damocles.
Death is the king of the Inevitables.
Somewhere he stands waning;
"I wonder the day of the year;
"I wonder the hour of the day."

j no hurry. She may let me run
