THE IVY GREEN.
O, a dainty plant is the ivy green.
That creepeth o’er ruins old?
On right choice food are his meals,
In his cell so lone and cold.
The wall must be crumbled, the stone
decayed,
To pleasure his dainty whim;
And the moldering dust that years
have made
Is a merry meal for him.
Creep where no life is seen,
A rare old plant is the ivy green.
Fast he stealeth on though he wears
no wings,
And a staunch old heart has he;
How closely he twineth, how close he
clings,
To his friend the huge oak-tree!
And slyly he traileth along the ground,
And his leaves he gently waves,
As he joyously hugs and crawleth
round
The rich mold of dead men’s graves.
Creeping where grim death has
been,
A rare old plant is the ivy green.
Whole ages have fled, and their works
decayed,
And nations have scattered been;
But the stout old ivy shall never fade
From its hale and hearty green.
The brave old plant in its lonely days
Shall fatten on the past:
For the stateliest building man can
raise
Is the ivy’s food at last.
Creeping- on where time has
been,
A rare old plant is the ivy green!
—Charles Dickens.

CHAT.
Dear Children; Last Sunday was
such a bright, pretty day and yet held
so much of sorrow for one of our
members, Charlie Withrow, whose
last letter appeared about three weeks
ago, stood face to face with the great
est sorrow he had ever known, ana
one that I hope will never come to
another one of my “family.” Last
Friday a jolly crowd went out to
Lake wood for a picnic, among them
were Charlie’s grown brother and sis
ter, buoyant and jolly as the others.
But in some unknown way while out
boat riding their boat suddenly cap
sized and they were soon with their
Savior —gone to their new home, which
journey I was so glad to learn they
were both prepared to make. They
had packed their trunk some fime
before and were ready when the quick
message came. Reader, how would it
have been with you?
The young man was studying for the
ministry, and life seemed to promise
so much of usefulness; the sister, a
sweet, Christian girl, just blooming
into womanhood, seemed also to have
many days yet for service, but not so;

CONDUCTED BY THE EDITOR.
their work was finished and my heart
was a meeting place of deep, sympa
thetic sorrow and a sacred joy, as
Charlie, in his great heart anguish,
said, “It will never seem like home
to us again, but we have the sweet
consolation that they were both ready,
they were earnest Christians.” And in
the midst of this sorrow, that only a
Savior’s Jove can soothe, came the
joy that the world can no where meas
ure up to the satisfying joy of knowing
our loved ones who are snatched from
us by the hand of death, are taken
from his cold arms by our Mediator,
straight to the warm heart of a loving
Father. After all, the house of mourn
ing can be also a house of rejoicing.
And so we should feel it.
We have some good letters this
week; keep them coming. I am so
glad to welcome “Bonnie Bess,” who
gives evidence of a love like unto
that of her Savior’s for the poor and
suffering. Come and be with us again,
little girl; we are so glad to have
you.
It is such a pity that your Brother
Willie’s marriage comes too late for
us to give you any account of it this
week, but will tell you about it next
time.
Lots of love from
LITTLE MOTHER.
THE EFFECT OF HABIT.
Dear Little Mother: I will take
“Whiskey” for my subject this time.
Nothing tends more to shut God out
ot a man’s heart than whiskey. It
causes more heartaches than anything
else. Whiskey is a greater curse to a
nation than war or famine. It has
wrecked so many happy homes. It
turns happiness into sorrow. It
breaks the wife and mother’s heart.
It deadens the conscience and ruins
character.
Boys, let me tell you of a little
piece I read: Once there was an old
horse who pulled around the sweep;
he was kept at this business for nearly
twenty years, until he became old and
blind, and too stiff in the joints for
farther use, so he was turned into
a pasture and led to the crop of grass.
After grazing a while each morning,
he would start on a tramp, going
'round and ’round in a circle. He would
keep this up for hours just as be had
been accustomed to do for so many
years. It was force of habit. The
boy who forms good or bad habits in
his youth will be led by them when
he becomes old; will be happy or rais-
