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.— Peoria Call. 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? Not at Home. Brooklyn Eagle. “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 ed.” A Dead Shot may be taken at liver and billious disorders with Dr. R.

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.
