considered it merely as a partnership
to be dissolved if something better
was in prospect. Such is the senti
ment prevailing among people who
have no heart and sense of moral and
Christian obligation, and it is such
persons who lower the standard of
honor and spread abroad the influence
that destroys the home and the family.

THE BORROWING NUISANCE.
An old rhyme says:
“What you haven’t got, child,
Borrow, borrow, borrow.”
Some of our neighbors seem to have
taken this ironic counsel as good ad
vice, for they certainly “borrow.”
Not a day passes that we are not
called on to lend a cupful of lard, or
sugar, or coffee, half a dozen eggs, a
bucket of flour, sometimes clean nap
kins, books, umbrellas, etc. Often the
groceries returned are inferior to
those borrowed, and sometimes the
fact of borrowing escapes the memory
of the good neighbor, and it is not re
called to her mind by the one from
whom she borrowed. It is held that
to do this would seem mean. Do you
think it would? Is it not right and
just to call to the mind of the borrow
er the things that have been lent?
Sometimes I try to convey hints
about the bad habit of borrowing. Last
week our club had a Shakespeare
evening, which was opened by quota
tions from the immortal dramatist and
philosopher. My quotation was this:
“Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
A loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of hus
bandry.” .
I am afraid nobody took it to heart,
for this week one of our friends —a
good neighbor, splendid in sickness —
borrowed my best white dress for her
daughter. I had done it up beautifully
with my own hands, and I am very
apprehensive it will come back yel
lowed, perhaps scorched and discol
ored, and the daughter will say,
sweetly, “It’s not done up as nicely
as it "was, Imogene, dear. Nobody can
do up things like you, and our laun
dress just won’t take pains.” I would
like some of The Golden Age House
hold to tell me what should be done
to remedy the bad habit of borrowing.
IMOGENE.
SHE HAS A CHANCE FOR
SUCCESS.
Mattie Beverage’s letter was quite
interesting. She has material right
around her for story and sketch writ
ing. Just to be true in a general way
and let imagination help in coloring
Terrible Train of Troubles.
Lake Charles, La. —Mrs. E. Fournier,
516 Kirby street, says: “The month
before I took Cardui I could hardly
walk. I had backache, headache, pain
in my legs, chills, fainting spells, sick
stomach, dragging feelings and no pa
tience or courage. Since taking Car
dui, I have no more pains, can walk
as far as I want to, and feel good all
the time.” Take Cardui and be bene
fited by the peculiar herb ingredients
which have been found so efficient for
womanly ills. Cardui will relieve that
backache, headache and all the misery
from which you suffer, just as it has
done for others. Try Cardui.
and in giving interest and no doubt
she can find readers, and as she im
proves in writing and expression she
may find sale for her manuscripts.
Sometimes, letters from a locality
are paid for in Northern papers, es
pecially if new-comers are desired in
that locality. There are a great many
unsettled, restless people in the Unit
ed States wanting homes. Small farms
are in demand in many localities. Per
haps Mattie might induce people to
move into her community in this
way, and in time a village or town
might be built up. I hope her Church
will continue and that she will enjoy
the meetings very much this summer,
and that in time a comfortable house
can be put up so that there can be
winter services.
Mattie must persevere, and like the
busy bee improve each shining hour,
so that if she does not succeed in one
way she may in another.
I was sorry to read in last week’s
paper that our Mater was not well —
I hope she has been restored to health
and that she will enjoy her birthday,
which is the 17th of May. May many
more birthdays be hers. We would

The flowery month of May is near—

Then we can ornament our rooms

the birds will sing and it will be a
happy time if all are well at home.
Kind wishes to all, '

A Salvation Army officer in London
says he asked a boy what work he did
to provide him with food, etc., and the
reply was: “I pick strawberries in the
summer, I pick hops in the autumn, I
pick pockets in the winter, and oakum
for the rest of the year.”
