Was it an Angel, Mamma?
In a veTy elegant palace car entered
a very weary-faced, poorly dressed wo
man with three little children—one a
babe in her arms. A look of joy crept
into her face as she settled back into
one of the luxurious chairs, but it was
quickly dispelled as she was asked to
“start her boot.”
A smile of amusement was seen on
several faces as the frightened group
hurried out to enter one of the common
cars Upon one young face, however,
there was a look which shamed the
countenance of the others.
“Auntie,” said a hoy to a lady be
side him. *‘l am going to carry my
basket of fruit and this box of sand
wiches to the poor woman in the next
car. You are willing, of course?”
He spoke eagerly, but she answered:
“Don’t he foolish, dear, yon may
need them yourself, and perhaps the
woman is an impostor.”
“No, I’ll not need them,” he ans
wered decidedly, but in a very low
tone.
“You know I had a hearty break
fast, and I don’t need a lunch. The
woman looked hungry, auntie, and so
tired too, with those three little babies
clinging to her. I’ll be back in a min
ute, auntie; I know mother wouldn’t
like it if I didn’t speak a kind word to
the least of these when I meet them..”
The worldly aunt brushed a tear from
her eye after the boy left her, and said
audibly:
“Just like his dear mother.”
About five minutes later, as the lady
passed the mother and three children,
she saw a pretty sight—the family
feasting as perhaps they had never
done before; the dainty sandwiches
were eagerly eaten, the fruit basket
stood open.
The eldest child, with her mouth
filled with bread and butter, said,
“Was the pretty boy an angel, mam
ma?”
“No” answered the mother, and a
greatful look brightened her faded
eyes, “but he is doing angel’s work.—

Have You Insured Your Boys?
The innocent child stiicken by the
lightning of the heavens, in his cradle,
a parent could bury with something to
mitigate his grief. But what of the
boy, the man, the fetid form, the help
less wretch stricken by “Lightning
whiskey,” his very soul corrupted and
destroyed! “Lightning whiskey” not
only destroys the body, but it shrivels
up and blasts the soul itself—all its
sweet affections, its friendship, its taste
and love for the beautiful, and pure
and good.
But men are ever ready to insure
against the lightning ot heaven. They
pay for “rods” to protect their houses,
their stables, their horses and they pay
liberally for “policies of insurance,”
and when the red bolt flashes through
the thick darkness of storm and night,
there is a comfortable assurance that
all possible losses can, in one sense, be
made good.
But how about the boys? Have you
dono all you can to insure them against
“lightning whiskey”—that bolt that
does not mercifully kill at once, but
striking successively and through the
long weary years, makes a sickening
wreck and ruin, to which the sudden
and swift bolt from above would be a
merciful deliverer.
Have vou insured, or striven to in
sure your boys?

“There is a young man in the parlor
who wishes to see you miss,” remarked
the hall door attendant.
“Did he bring anything with him;
any box or parcel?”
"Only a cane, miss.”
“Did his coat tail rattle when he
walked as if there was a package of
candy in the pockets?”
“Nothing of the sort, miss.”
“Then tell him I’ve gone to visit a
aick friend and won’t be home for a
week,” returned the fair girl, falling
back into a horizontal position and re
suming her perusal of “Truth Stranger
than Fiction; or, The Liar Unmask

WOMAN.
Hope for Suffertn Woman-Some,
thing New Under the Sun.
By reason of her peculiar relations, and
her peculiar ailments, woman has been com
pelled to suffer, not only her own ills, but
{hose arising from the want of knowledge,
or of consideration on the part of those with
whom she stands connected in the social
organization. The frequent and distressing
irregularities peculiar to her sex have thus
been aggravated to a degree which no lan
guage can express. In the mansions of the
rich and the hovel of the poor alike, woman
has been the patient victim of ills unknown
to man, and which none but she could en
dure—and without a remedy. But now the
hour ot her redemption has come. She need
notsuffer longer, when she can find relief

“Woman’s Best Friend.” Prepared by Dr
