Blindfolded and alone I, stand,
With unknown thresholds on each

The darkness deepens as I ?rope,
Afraid to fear, afraid to hope ;
Yet this one thing I learn to know
ach day more surely as I go,
Tiaat days are openedrways are made,
Burdens are lifted, or are laid,
By otue great law unseen and still,
TJnfathomed purpose to fulfill,
"Not as IT will."
Blindfolded: and' alone I wait;
Lossseems too-bitter, gain too late ;
Too heavy burdens in the load,
And too fewhelpers on the road ;
And joy-is weak and grief is strong,
And years and days so long, so long
Yet this one thing I learn to know
Each day more snrely as I go,
That I am glad the good and ill
By changeless law are ordered still -
"Not as I will."
Not as I will ' the sound grows
sweet
Each time my lips the words repeat.

A MOTHER'S VANITY
My brother bolomon s wile is a
fool ! There ! I've thought so ever
since he married her, twenty years or
more ago, but I've never said. so till
now. Now Harry's wife is different.
But there ! There's no need of my
troubling you with all this. . I'll tell
you the story and" then yon can see
yourself.
But what under the sun Solomon
Pinfeather ever saw in Jennie Sen
kins,. I've failed, to find out! But
there I go again. But she is a fool,
it's past denying, and" if I hadn't
said it after what's happened I think
I should have burst. But I feel bet
ter now, and I guess I caD tell the
story pretty straight.
About a month aero I got a letter
from Jane, Solomon's wife, telling j
me that Penelope (that's my name- i
sake) was going to be married,, and
would I come up and stay with 'em
aud help 'em get ready for the wed
ding.. Now, I don't love Jane but I
do love, little Penelope, and as there
was a nice little note from the blessed 1
child, as " kind, dear Aunt Pen," if
she wouldn't come, and as she asked
it very prettily, I determined to go
and help the dear child have a pleas
ant send-off.
Well, after a ride of fifty miles in
the cars and two in Solomon's car
riage (for the train. I. took. was an
express and I didn't stop at their
village), I f6und myself, at the old
homestead. I hadn't been there in
ten years, but I was prepared for all
the changes by the letters little Penelope-
used to write to me every two
weeks, but what I wasn't prepared
for was the change in Penelope since
I had had a visit from her ut my
own house six mouths before. She
looked about as little like a prospec
tive bride as anything I ever saw,
and . yet I. knew the man she was to
marry was well worthy of my Pene
lope, and that is saying a great deal.
I was struck so with that girl's ap
pearance I was dumb.
Pale and thin and hollow-eyed,
with erreat deep circles under her.
eyes, she just looked tired nearly to
death. .
" That girl's going to be sick," I
said to myself ; " I guess I've come
to her . funeral instead of her wed
ding." " For the land's sake, Jane, what
ever ails Penelope ?" I exclaimed as
soon as I had her alone.
"Why?"
"'Why?' Don't vou see how she
looks ?" "
"0, 1 see she looks kind of pale,
but then she's in love, you know, and
girls always get pale then," and she
laughed her easy laugh, that I hate
so; yes, under some circumstances I
fairly hate that laugh of hers, and
rfhis was one of those circumstances.
It showed so plainly how blind she
was.
So I didn't say anything more. I
saw-it wasn't any use. But I made
up my mind that ' I'd find out what
was the matter with Penelope and
mend it, if an "old maid aunt," who
isn't supposed to know anything
about affairs of the heart," could be
of any use...
" Well, Penelope," "said I, the next
day; right after breakfast, " now I'm
alL. ready thimble, scissors, needle
and everything to help in making
those wedding clothes."
; You see I knew that Jane was full
of all sorts of nonsenical vanity,
and I felt sure of wedding finery
and pipery there would be enough
and to spare.
"Oh, she's all done," "said Jane,
" she's been done two months or
more. She hurried up so as-to have
plenty of time to make her veil. You
ought to see her things. Pen, show
your Aunt.. Penelope--your things,"
she said, pride in every tone of her
voice. " Sliej got six white wrap
pers," telling-" them off on her fin
gers, "one dozen white skirts," etc.,
CONCORD, N. C, MAY 11,
(I shan't tell you? all she had ; you'd
get as tired of listening? as I did ;)
ending triumphantly: "And, Pene-
ope, her wedding clothes cost a hun
dred dollars more than Col. Thomp
son s daugqter s did, and he s the
richest man iu town. And she was
married in a plain veil, too. Just
wait till you see Penelope's."
She turned to go to the kitchen,
while Pen led the way up stairs, very
wearily, I thought. j . .
However, we went through the
ceremony of examining the things,
and I praised' all the pretty robes
about me.
" I know just what you think,
Aunt Pen,.andi I don't blame you a
bit"
What do I" think,, litle Pen ?"
"You think there
is a great deal
too much " . , .
"Yes, I do." '
" So do I. I didn't want all these
things, and it was dreadful to- sit
here stitch; stitch, stitching all these
long, hot days just for the sake of
saying 1 had the most things. But
mother gave them all to me, and she
seemed to have the matter so much
at heart it seemed ungrateful in me
to make any objection. And she
seemed so set on it. She said she
only had one daughter, and there
would only be oi
family, And seemed. to take it so much
to heart that 1 couldn't resist. lou
know what mother is."
" Yes, I know what your mother
is,'.' I answered, grimly ; while I said
to myself, " She's a fool, that's what
your mother is."
" Well, now, Pen, dear, you have a
month to rest. We 11 have some long
talks and long walks, and just get
ready quietly for the finale."
"0, indeed. I haven't time for
anything of that kind, Aunt Pen.'"
" Why not ? What is there left to
do? I thought everything was
doe."
" So everything is d6ne-but' my
veil."
" Well, child, who ever heard of
it taking a month to make a wedding
veil ?"
' Well, I've been at mine every
spare minute for two months, and it
isn't nearly finished yet. I'm almost
afraid that another month won't
finish it unless I work at uisrhts, and
it tries my eyes. Besides, James
comes in the evenings, and I'm not
going to put him aside for all the
finery in the world."
"Let me see this veil," I said sol
emnly; so we went into the next
room) and there in a frame1 was the
lovely, filmy lace thing on which
this lear girl had been expending
her time, nay, her life, for the past
two months.
" Is this some of vour mother's
work?"
" No," she answered, innocently,
" it is every stitch mine, but mother
insisted on" it. She said I knew how
to make such lovely lace things, and
that now was tHe time, and she
seemed . so set on the lace veil as a
part of the ' show, ' that I have-done
it. It is lovely isn't it?"
The child had not understood my
question, but she had answered me.
I said nothing aloud, but I groaned
inwardly. Here was all I wanted to
know. I made irj my mind I would
not say one word then. The whole
thing" seemed too preposterous for
words. But I likewise made up my
mind that the first chance I got I'd
take an old maid's privilege of tell
ing Solomon a thing or two, and I'd
likewise sav a thing, in season to mv
prospective nephew I'd have the
thing stopped if I had to go to the
city and buy my namesake a laceveil
to gratify her mother's vanity.
However, Penelope took matters in
her own hands and finished the bu
siness up by fainting dead away. The
doctor was sent for, and the case
proved to be typhoid fever. As soon
as James found out what it was he
insisted. on being married at once
and sharing in our work.
Jane was so worked up, for she
really loves Penelope (but I thinV
she loves finery aud displays more),
that she consented before she knew
it, and for the . past month all four
of us, .beside the doctor, good old
soul, have been fighting with death
for that precious girl. She was pro
nounced out of danger last night,
and so I came home today.
When I came away Jane threw her
arms around me, and cried :
"Oh,. Pen," she sobbed, "I don't
know how I can ever thank vou for
all you have done."
"I don't want any thanks, Jane,"
I said.
" Suppose we had lost her, Pene
lope suppose the dear child had
died ?"
"Oh, wrell, if she had died, Jane,"
I said, "you'd have had the lace
veil. It wa3 nearly finished."
Jane gave me one awful look and
turned on her heel. She'll hate me
now till her dying day. It was the
only thing I said about that veil,
but it was an awful mean one I'll
allow.
If Penelo1.3 had died I suppose
the town would' have called it "a dis
pensation of Providence," and the
funeral notice would have read :
"Penelope, daughter of Solomon
and Jane Pinfeather, cf typhoid
fever.'"
But. it-should have read:'
" Penelope, daughter of Solomon
and Jane Pinfeather, of her mothers
vanity."

The Wealth of "Sons. -
It is not so much what you for
mally teach your children as what
you sing to them. A hymn has
wings and can fly everywhere. One
hundred and fifty years after you
are dead, and " Old- Mortality ' has
worn out his chisel- in- cutting out
your name on the tombstone your
great-grandchildren will be singing
the song which this afternoon you
sing to your knee.
Oh, if mothers only knew the

much oitener wouia the little one
be gathered, and all our homes would
chime with the songs of Jesus. We

acting influence but the power of
christian culture and- example.
Hold before your little ones the pure
life of" Jesus; let that name- be. the-
word that shall exercise evil, from
their hearts. Give to your instruc

This is important if your chil
dren grow up; but perhaps they may
not. 1 heir pathway may be short,
Jesus may be wanting that child,
Then there will be a soundless step
in the dwelling, and the youthfu
pulse will begin to flutter and the
little hands will be lifted for help,

agony will pinch at your heart, and

soul will be empty. No- little- feet

eyes, come for a kiss, but only a
grave, a wreatbJ of white blossoms on
the top of it. The Heavenly Shep
herd will take that lamb safely any
how, whether you have-been faithful
or unfaithful, bit would it not have
been pleasanter if' you could have
heard from those lips the praises of
Christ? We never read anything
more beautiful about a child's de
parture: "She folded her hands,
kissed her mother good-bye, sang her
hymn, turned her face to the wall,
said her little prayer, and then

night ! For the poor, who freeze in
the winter's cold and swelter in the
summer's heat, and munch the hard
crust that bleed the sore gums, and
shiver under blankets that cannot
any longer be patched, and tremble
because rent day is come and they

there are some songs that are es
pecially appropriate for the home

start the tears, they turn the heart
in on itself and keep sounding after
the tune has stopped, like some ca-

NUMBER 18.
Wanted a. Thumper.
A farmer about fifty years old
stopped a number of people on libn-
roe avenue to lnanire his way to a
gymnasium, and he was finally sked
it he was going to take lessons in
boxing.
"No, not exacb," he replied, but
want to see a thumper."
He was directed to the right place
and after looking' the establishment
over he said to t he proprietor:
1 live out here about' fourteen
miles. I've cot a hired man who has
gotfso sassy that I can hardly live
with him.-He s got too bis: to- lick
with a-gad, and I've got to cuff him
up to a peak. I want to take a lesson
with1 the gloves, and when I go home
I'll astonish John Henry witla bit
of science.''
One of the boxerfe about the'place
said he'd give a lesson ffcf a! dollar.
and the old man pealed down to his
undershirt and put on the glove. He
was shown how to pose and how to
hold his guard,.and tlieii warned' to
look out for himself.
"You play you are John Henry
the hired man," he said.
"All right."
'You've been fooling your time
away and I've called you a- lazy
coyote."
"Exactly.'-'
"You have sassed me back and
go for you like this and this!"
And the old man struck right and
left and run the boxer around the
ring. He was doing noble woyk when
something shot over bis guaid and
hit his chin, and he went over like a
log and laid there until they threw
water on him. Then he sat up look
ing about in a dazed way.-and feebly
inquired :
"What was it?"
John Henry hit you.
"He did eh! Then that settles it!
Here's your dollar, young man, and
here's the gloves. If I'm liable to
get such a lick as that I'm going

Salt For Cattle.
This is a rule that is generally ob
served, but the-re&sort for it is not
so well understood, except that it
makes stock healthy, writes Mr. C.
F. Clarkson. But why does it make
them healthy? Rich food, especial
ly that of a succulent" character,
when taken in large or small quan
tities, by the warmth of the stomach
is frequently caused to terment be
fore disgestion takes place. This
formentation causes derangements,
sours the food, generates gas, bloat
scours, etc. A proper amount of
salt prevents the food -from ferment
ing, aud acting with the sliva or
pepsin, aids in- rapid digestion.
Vhiletoo much salt acts as a poison
aud inflames the stomach and bow els,
especially if free access to water is
not allowed, a proper amount given
frequently checks a tendency, to aci
dity and fermentation in the stom
ach, and allows the digestive organs
full, free, , and early action. Salt
also divests 'the animals of -worms,
and tha infinitesimal animalculaj
whiclv-ficientists now claim to be the
cause of nearly;- all diseases. Salt
should be provided for all clases of
domestic animals, where they can
get&t it any time, and the demands
of nature will safely, teach them not
to eat 'too little or toonmch.'-
The Moon" and the Weather. Su
perstitions concerning the effect (f
thie moon on the earth are very com

tion in reality, The relation of the
moon to the earth is. simply that of
a satellite, whose attraction has an
impmtarjt- influence onJ the motion
in its orbit, and on the shifting level
of its oceans causing the tides. It
might be supposed that if the moon
can attract the water on the surface
of the earth she can also attract its
atmosphere.and thus, through move

said a teacher to aboy iu a Sunday
school. " 'Thou shalt 'not bear false wit

" What is ' bearing false witness
against your neighbor ?' '
"It is" telling falsehoods."
" That is partly true ; and yet it

A very little girl then said :
' " It is when nobody did anything

" That will do," said the teacher,

The little girl had given a curious

Shot Each Other Dead. Jackson

at the time.says: : "Gen. Adams ac
costed Martin saying: 'You rascal.

he drew a pistol, fired and got behind
