* I* HE RE was a young fellow named Wade,
* Who saved all the money he made;
Each time he got any, if only a penny,
With the rest of the pile it was laid.
BUT this irugal young man, it is said,
Kept his money hid under the bed.
He said he was sure it was safe and secure;
Not a care ever entered his head.
^\NE night while he slept in his bed,
With his money hid under his head,
A burglar got in an swiped all his tin,
And left not a thing in it’s stead.
HEN Wade told the news the next day,
How his money had all got away,
A friend said aloud right out in the crowd,
“You’re a fool, that’s all I’ve to say.”

Would gladly enough have guarded your stuff,
Don’t you see that you’ve been a crank?”

We think that with most of us
oar personal surroundings weild
a great influeuce in making us
happy or otherwise. We should
therefore strive to nake them
always as pleasant as possible.
So far as oar means permit we
should seek to adorn our homei
with all that is bright and pleas
ant. We are all familiar with
the boarding house advertise*
menta which promise “all the
comforts of home” for a few dol
lars per week, and though auch
advertisements are sadly delu
sive, yet they are the strongest
possible tribute to the faot that
civilized man’s highest ideal of
happidess is in the life of the
home.
The secret of success in life is
to keep busy, to be persevering,
patient and untiring in the pur
suit or calling you are following.
The busy ones may now and then
make mistakes, but it is* better
to risk these than to be idle and
inactive. Keep doing, whether
it be work or recreation. Mo
tion is life and the busiest are
the happiest. Cheerful, active
labor is a blessing. An old phil
osopher says:—the firefly only
shines on the wing. So it
is with the mind; when once we
rest, we darken.
ble, no matter what line of life
he may adopt, and that no mat
ter how bad his lot may seem he
can always find many whose sit
uations is infinitely worse. The
farmer whose sheep are killed by
dogs, whose peach and apple
blossoms are lrost bitten, and
whose children have the ague
envies the minister who, he
thinks, has nothing to do but
write one or two rermons a week
and enjoy himself the rest of the
time, when the good man of the
ministerial cloth, with his floor
barrel and his woodshed empty
and his salary far in arrears,
wishes his parents bad made him
a farmer.
Ask yourself hard questions
about yourself, find out all you
can about yourself. Ascertain
from original sources if you are
really the manner of man you
say you are; if you are always
honest; if you always tell the
square perfect truth in business
deals; if your life is as good and
upright at eleven o’clock at night
as it is at noon; if you are as
good a temperance man on fish
ing excursions as you are at a
Sunday school picnic; if you are
as good when you go out to the
city as when you are at home; if,
in short, you are the sort of »
man your father hopes you are
and your sweetheart believes you
to be.
REAL HOMES.
There are husbands and wives
whore love is so deen that each
cares only to have what will do
b^st for the other and for their
children. These men and women
belong to no particular class,
are'to be found among the high
ly educated and luxurious classes,
in the great middle class and
among the laboring people. Sufch
folks are honest in their affec
tions, honest with each other and
honest with the world. Their
homes are not places for show,
but what the name implies—
place of rest, happiness and in
spiration of good work, These
homes may consist of only two or
three rooms, or may be palaces,
yet the influence is always good.
It is always such homes that
make the world sweeter afid bet
ter, and experience shows us
that they are common in our
country.
The chief cause of unhappiness
in life is discontent. It is a pe
culiar foible in human nature
seldom or never to be satisfied
with our own lot and to be al
ways envying that of some one
elfee, entirely losing sight of the
fact that no one can escape trou-
THE MAN WHO LAUGHS.
The man whose "hat hat”
reaches from one end of the street
to the other may be the same
fellow who scolded his wife and
spanked his baby before he got
his breakfast, when he misses
the train, when his wife goes
visiting, and he has to eat a cold
supper; the man who can laugh
when he finds a button ofi his
shirt, when the furnace fire goes
out in the night and both of the
twins come down with the
measles at the same time—lie’s
the man that’s needed,
He never tells his neighbor to
have .faith. Somehow he puts
faith into him. He delivers no
homilies; the sight of his beam
ing face, the sound of his happy
voice, and the sight of his bless
ed daily life, carry conviction
that words have no power to give.
The blues flee before him as the
fog before the west wind. He
comes into his own home like a
flood of sunshine over a meadow
of blooming buttercups, and his
wife and children blossom in his
presence like June roses. His
home is redolent with sympathy
and love. The neighborhood is
better for his life, and somebody
will learn of him that laughter
is better than tears.
The world needs this man.
Why are there so few like him?
Gan he be created? Can he be
evolved? Why is he not in every
house, turning rain into shine
and winter into summer all the
year round until life is a perpet
ual season.
HUSBAND AND WIFE.
Oh, the union of husband and
wife, which is the most intimate
and confidential relationship on
earth, there must be something
more than superficial admira
tion, the one for the other.
These two have pledged to one
another a life-long consecration.
Their interests are to be in com
mon. Nothing can affect one
without equally affecting the
other. For weal or woe, they
have joined hands, and to the
whole outside world they present
a united front.
And yet if testimony should
be taken, it would be found that
many married people have not
been perfectly happy during the
years of wedlock. There has
been friction. There has been
disappointment. The little rift
has been suffered to open the
way for estrangement.
“We decided,” said a man
whose long life has been singu
larly tranquil and satisfactory,
“we decided, my wife and I,
when we were married, that we
should never let the aun go down
on any lack of peace between us.
We would ask one another’s par
don if necessary, but we would
never guarrel. One or the other
■hould always give up a point on
which both could not agree, and
whatever else came to us, we re
solved to have no discord.”
Lend a helping hand. If a
man is unfortunate, try to lift
him up. The people who knew
this or t|iat was going to happen,
the "I told you so” people, are a
detriment to the community. If
they would always say a good
word instead of a discouraging
one, how much better things
would be. Study and know the
interest of your home. Buy of
home merchants. Stay at home
nights. Attend some churoh,
look forward to good times and
all will feel better, be happier
and enjoy life better.
A Tomb for Tramps,
The population of the town of
Holland, Maas., is small. It has
U voters. By word of mouth and
by tramp hieroglyphics it baa
been widely advertised among
the fraternity as a desirable stop'
ping off place.
One night an unusually bold
man of the tramp species ap
peared at the town hall and de
manded a bed. He was told to
follow as a councilman led the
way toward the cemetery. The
tramp was thinking of the luxury
of a warm New Eogland bed,
when his guide halted before
the reception tomb. With the
words: "Some of the best citi
zens Holland ever had spent
more than one night here,” the
tramp was directed to enter. He
took the hint and fled. The
town is no longer visited by
wandering loafers.

A preacher came at a news
paper man in this way: You
editors do not tell the truth. If
you did you could not live; your
newspaper would be a failure.
The editor replied: You are
right and the minister who will
at all times and under all circum
stances tell the whole truth about
his members, alive or dead,, will
not occupy his pulpit more than
one Sunday, and then he will
find it necessary to leave town in
a hurry. The press and the pul
pit go hand in hand with white
wash brushes and pleasant words,
magnifying little virtues into
big ones. Tne pulpit, the pen,
and,the grave stone are the great
saint-making triumvirate. And
the great minister went away
looking very thoughtful while
the editor turned to his work,
and told of the unsurpassing
beauty ot the bride, while in
fact she was as homely as a mud
fence.

Oratltud* and OraatiMM,
Gratitude may be termed the
noblest trait of mankind. The
grateful man give* proof of up
rightness, truth, generosity, un
selfishness and loyalty, qualities
admire;} in all agea and all coun
tries. The man who easily for
gets a favor is justly looked on
as cold and selfish; but he who
remembers a kindness done and
strives to make return is never
denied applaure. Gtatitude is a
quality becoming the large soul
and the big heart.
Years ago the Hon. Alex. H.
Stevens, of Georgia, one of the
most illustrious sons of the South
land, in hia lifetime Congress
man, United States Senator,
Governor of Georgia, and Vice-
President of the Confederate
States, stood before an audience
in the State which loved to heap
honors on his worthy head. He
was speaking for au orphan asy
lum and a free school. Be re
lated an anecdote.
A poor little boy on a cold
pight, with no home oi roof to
shelter him, no paternal or ma<
ternal guardian to protect or
guide or direct him on hta way
through life, reached in the dark
ness the home of a planter, who
took him in, treated him kindly,
and in due course sent him foith
a renovated youth, strong in
faith, both in God and man.
These kind attentions of the
charitable planter so cheered the
boy’s heart and encouraged him
to fight the battle of life that he
feared no defeat.
As years rolled on, success
came to the young man’s en
deavors. He reached the legal
profession, and soon in that try
ing aretia acquired fame. His
host had meantime died. A
band of conspirators then pro
ceeded, under forms of law, to
wrest his property "from the wid
ow. She sent for the nearest
counsel to assist in maintaining
her rights. That counsel proved
to bo the orphan boy, long years
before sheltered under her hos
pitable roof. The sentiments of
a warm and tenacious gratitude
added fervor to the ordinary mo
tives of professional activity.
He undertook the lady’s cause
with a will which no obstacle
could resist. He won his suit.
The widow’s estates were secur
ed to her in perpetuity. Then
Mr, Stephens, drawing himself
before his audience, added with
an emphasis that thrilled and
electrified all his hearers. "That
boy now stands before you.”
Inseparable from noble souls
is gratitude. George Washing
ton loved lus mother, not alone
from the ordinary filial motives,
but out of gratitude for ths ser
vices she rendered him from the
first dawn of reason. It was the
ingratitude of Benedict Arnold
to him, his friend and benefac
tor, which wrung the heart of
the Father of His country, even
more cruelly than Arnold’s treas
on to the infant republic. Grat
itude marked a notable degree.
Abraham Lincoln, who remem
bered in his fame the very
humblest benefactions of his
earliest and obscure days. Grat
itude it was that led General
Grant into faults of administra
tion, for which his countrymen,
when they came to understand
his motives, generously forgave
him. Gratitude is the insepar
able attribute of true greatness.
