A FATHER'S LOVE.
What a Sweet Remembrance for
That Child.
A liltlo incident, which beau
tifully illustrated the word of
Ihivid, spoken so long ajjo,
came iniiler my notice recently.
It so impressed and comforted
tin' that I want to pass it on.
We were seated round the
tea luhle in my friend's pleas
ant home, when it seems the
little daughter rcai heil to help
herself with undue haste, Iter
father reproved her, and it must
have been gently, for there was
not any interruption in the
cheerful conversation. Hut u
lady seated hy the child's side
told me afterward that Janie's ',
eyes tilled with tears, and she
slipped quietly away from the 1
table. Hut I did not notice Mr.
II excusing himself and also
leaving the room.
Immediately after 1 hud oc
casion to visit the adjoining
sitting room, where I found the
little one nestled in tier father's
strong arms, the tears still fall
ing from her blue eyes, but
looking up trustfully into the
brown eyes bent over hers and
glistening with sympathy,
while the voice tender and
manly, was saying: "There,
there, darling; papa wouldn't
hurt his little pet's feelings or
spoil her supper if he could help
it. See, papa could not eat any
more when he knew you were
leelitig so badly. Now, sweet-i
heart, let us go and see if there I
is anything left for us. Moth-!
r will attend to us herself."
For sometime they talked ,
softly: then I heard a little rip-:
de of laughter and they went
to linish their meal, her hand j
clasped in her father's.
Hul 1 bad my lesson. What .
a sweet remembrance for that ,
child. Thank (bid for our Chris-1
tian fathers, and while the
tears dropped down my cheeks, I
1 cried silently. "DocsUod love
me so!'" And the answer came j
and stayed, "Like as :i father
pitieth his children, so the Lord j
pitieth them that fear him." i

HOW THf: HORSE WON.

from a thrifty Scot be returned
in angry mood.
"Voii told me this horse had
won half a do.en matches in

mile in six minutes to save
himself. You lied to mo," he
denounced.
"I didna lie. It was in plow

RliMRDY R)R THE CAT,
"Doctor," said he, "I'm a
victim of insomnia. 1 can't
sleep if there's the least noise,
such as a cat on th back fence,
for instance,
"This powder will be effec
tive," replied the physician,
after compounding a prescrip

"You don't take it. You give

ASHES OF ROSES.
GLiOKGli TEST DILHL
Ashes of roses all my own
The ashes are here, the flower is tlown,
The fragrance lingers as fragrance will
And memories rise that are never still,
But over my heart with untold pain
They sweep to awaken chords again
Chords forever mute.
Ashes of roses, rich red roses,
Thy gray dust in thy bosom reposes
Reposes here where thy beauty was shed,
Reposes here now so silent and dead.
The flower was mine, but ashes gray
Cover the altar whereon they lay
In my breast.
Aslies of roses ! Ashes of roses!
How undisturbed their repose is.
Though they be hid from mortal sight,
Yet oft in sweet visions of night,
The ashes are gone, the flower appears;
When morning breaks, I see through tears
Ashes of roses.
WORTH WHILE.
liLLA THLELLR W ILCOX.
It is easy enough to be pleasant,
Vi'hen life flows by like a song,
But the man worth while is one who will smile
Vi'hen everything goes dead wrong.
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with the years,
And the smile that is worth (he praises of earth
Is the smile that shines through tears.
It is easy enough to be prudent,
Then nothing tempts you to stray,
Then without or within no voice of sin,
Is luring your soul away;
But it's only a negative virtue.
Until it is tried by Hre
And the life that is worth the honor on ejrth,
Is the one that resists desire.
By the cynic, the sad, the fallen,
Tho had no strength for the strife
The world's highway is cumbered today
They make up the sum of life,
But the virtue that conquers passion,
And the sorrow that hides in a smile,
It is these that are worth the homage of earth
l-"or we find them but once in a while.
KNEW ALL A BOUT COURT.
The conversation in the lobby ot i
a Washington hotel the other night
turned to ye colored citizen, when
Congressman 1 honias U. Sisson,
of Mississippi, was reminded of an
incident that happened in the life
of Uncle Rastus.
Some lime ago Uncle Rastus
made the mistake of rambling
around loo long in the moonlight
and on the following day he was
arrested and brought into court on
a charge of having appropriated a
handful of fowls from a neighbor
ing chicken roost.
"Just lake the stand a minute,
Uncle Rastus," severely observed
the Judge, "I want to ask you a
question."
"Yessah, Jedge ! Yessah !" re
sponded Uncle Rastus, obediently
shuffling forward.
"1 want to impress on your
mind, said the Judge, "that you
are in a court of law. Do you fully
realize what a court is?"
"Yessah, Jedge! Yessah!" re
plied Uncle Rastus with an air of
assurance. "A co't am a place
where dey dispenses wid justice."
