13 THE SOUTHERN WORLD, SEPTEMBER 1,1882. much better pleased than if you bad played yoar intended trick 7” "Oh, dearest sir," answered the youth, “you have taught me a lesson now that I will never forget. I feel now the truth of the words which I never before understood—‘It is better to give than to receive.’ ” An Interesting Game. This game is played either by boys or girls—or by a mixed party of both. The players take their seats, and one declares that he has thought of an article or subject. An umpire is made acquainted with the subject thought of, and it is his (or her) duty to see that the questions are properly asked and answered. Twenty questions, and three guesses are allowed, each player asking a question in turn, or one player only taking the office of questioner. We give samples of questions and answers: The first player having announced that he has thought of an article, the questioner be gins— Does it belong to the animal, vegetable, or mineral kingdom 7 It is of vegetable material. Is it good for food 7 No. Is it manufactured? It was. Then it does not now exist? No. Does it belong to ancient or modern times? Ancient. Does it belong to a thing or to a class 7 To one particular thing. Was it useful or ornamental? Useful. Hard or soft 7 Hard. Was it made to wear 7 No. Was it stationary 7 No.' Was it used as a conveyance? Yes. By air, earth, or water? Water. Was it employed for a special purpose 7 Yes. Then was it Noah’s Ark? It was; and you have guessed it in four teen questions. Then the next player thinks of a subject, and the questions are asked as before. Does it belong to the animal, vegetable, or mineral kingdom 7 To all three. Is it used for food 7 No. Is it in its natural or prepared state 7 In its prepared state. Does it go through many processes before it is fitted for use 7 Yes. Is it useful or ornamental 7 Both. Is it used in this country 7 Yes. Where are its original materials found 7 In all parts of the world. Is it cotton, or paper, or silk, or parch ment? All those are employed in making it. Is it one particular thing, or does it belong to a class 7 To a class. Do they vary in size 7 Yes. Does one consist of many parts 7 Yes. Do they want sewing? Yes. Have they covers 7 Sometimes. Then it is a book 7 You are right; and you have guessed it in fourteen questions. Forfeits may be added to this game, each successful guesser claiming one from the thinker, and all the questioners paying a for feit for each unsuccessful guess. Tiiere is no power of love so hard to get and keep as a kind voice. A kind band is deaf and dumb. It may be rough in flesh and blood, yet do the work of a soft heart, and do it with a soft touch. But there is no one thing that love so much needs as a sweet voice to tell what it means and feels, and it is hard to get it and keep it in the right tone. Such a voice often speaks worse than the heart feels. It shows more ill-will in the tone than in the words. It is often in mirth that one gets a voice or a tone that is sharp, and sticks to him through life. Such as these get a sharp home voice for use and keep their best voice for those they meet elsewhere, just as they would save their best cakes and pies for guests, and all their sour food for their own board. Watch it by day as a pearl of great price, for it will be worth more to you in the days to come than thtf best pearl hid in the sea. A kind voice is a lark’s song to a hearth and home. It is to the heart what light is to the eye. All young men have “unalienable rights," among which none are great or more sacred than the privilege to he ‘'somebody." Savk Aoainst Accident.—Perhaps It Is rrnle and unkind to call a man a tool. Yet, when a man breaks his leg and Is kept snlTertiig at home tor weeks, he must feel foolish If he has not provided himself with an “accident policy." We are all liable to accidents. They come when least expected. We knew an old lady who traveled all over Europe without the least mishap, and the day after her return home fell down stairs and broke her right arm. The wisest and most careful cannut foresee disasters. Yet everybody of ordinary common sense cun guard against them by taking policies In the United States Mutual Accident Association. We do not speak of this at random, nor do we Judge of Its merits at a venture. We have carefully examined Its plans, and have the most pleasurable knowledge of their practical workings. At small expense, the Insured person Is made certain of a substantial sum per week. In case of disabling accident, and of to Ills survivors. In case acci dent should result in death. The terms of the pol icies arc such as any reasonable man can easily com ply with, and the cost Is so light that nobody can af ford to be without the security a policy afTords. The Association Is carefully and economically managed, and has tor its officers and directors some of our best business men. Its airuirs are managed with such care and economy, ns to meet the upprovnl of the most thrifty and careful men.—ChrUtian at Work. AGENTS WANTED FOR T1IE HISTORY THE U. Sa BY ALEXANDER H.
