His Honor and Bijah.
“There, bub, don’t cry,” said Bi
jah as he lifted a small boy in his
arms;” it isn’t no way likely that
you’ll ever come into this room and
sit down on a hot stove-hearth again.
Life is full of just such snags and
pit-falls, and sometimes I wouldn’t
give two cents to live or die.”
The boy went out and sat down
in a snow-drift to cool the blister,
and Bijah passed the hat around
and collected the following sum for
h:s benefit, viz: Three nails, one
apple, one marble, one cent, one fish
hook, one knife blade, some buttons.
His Honor came in and wanted
to know who threw that meat on the
stove and said he’d fine him five
hundred dollars if the guilty party
could be found. Bijah explained,
everthing was made lovely, and the
officers came forward and went
through the usual programe of
swearing to the warrants.
John Jefferson secured a piece of
coal, marked his face aud blackened
one eye, tangled up his hair and
buttoned his coat clear to his chin,
and as he stepped out he said:
Hold on, your honor! I’m all
ready for trial, but I wish you’d be
good enough to let me first send
word down to my wife, who is sick
in bed. The poor woman will be
anxious about me, and the children
will be crying!
"John Jefferson, isn’t it rather
early in the season for green things?”
inquired the court.
“How—What ?”
“And John Jefferson, is it right
to try to come roots on an old man
like mo, who has traveled, and
whose innocence is his best hold ?”
Painful pause.
Don’t you suppose that I know
you are a single man, boarding on
Clay street, and that the sick wife
business is all bosh ?” continued the
court. “Why, it wasn’t a month
ago that I fined you five dollars ! Is
there any foliage in my face, Mr.
Jefferson? Do you see anything
around hero that reminds you of
grassy dells and waving sunflowers ?”
“Well, it wasn't much of drunk,
anyhow,” replied the prisoner.
“And I shant put much of a fine,”
said his honor. “About five dollars
for the drunkenness and five more
for lying to the people of the State
of Michigan.”
“I want to carry this case up,”
said the prisoner.
“All right. They’ll carry you up
first, and then the Maria can come
back and cany the case up. It isn’t
a very big <pse, and if they drive
slow they’ll get it ‘up’ all right.”
Saturday Night.
How many a kiss lias been given
—how many a curse—how many a
caress—how many a look—how
many a kind word—how many a pro
mise has been broken—how many a
loved one lowered into the narrow
chamber—how many a babe has
gone from earth to heaven—how
many a little cradle stands silent
now which last Saturday -wight held
the rarest treasure of the heart.
A we*ek is a life. A week is a his
tory. It marks events of sorrow
and gladness, which people never
heard.
Go home to your family, erring
wanderer! Go home to the chair
that awaits you, wronged waif on
life’s breakers! Go home to those
you love, man, to toil and give one
night to the joys and comforts fast
flying by. Leave your books com
plex figures your dingy office —your
busy shop! Rest with those .you
love, for heaven only knows what
the next Saturday night may bring
you! Forget the world of care and
battles of life which have furrowed
the week. Draw close around the
family hearth! Saturday night has
awaited your coming in sadness, in
tears, and in silence. Go home to
those you love and as you bask in
the loved presence, and meet return
the love embrace of your heart’s
pets, strive to be a better man and
bless heaven for giving his children
so dear a stepping-stone in the river
of the eternal, as Saturday night.
&grA German had his horse sto
len and explained it as follows:
“Von nite, de oder day, ven I was

right in my barn, and out I shumps
to de bed and runs mit de barn out
and ven I vas dere coom I sees dat

Mother to Other Women’s
Sons.
We think there ate other things
still, in the way of counteraction
against bar-ro ims J and liquor
saloons which it lies on mothers
and sisters to bring into use. A
beautiful, bright, cheerful home at
mosphere is a grgftt safe-guard for
a son or a brother.
Believe us, dear women, even
though you are tired, though your
heads ache, though you feel of all
things in the world like slippers and
easy-chairs, it is worth while to cast
off fatigue and entertain the young
men of the houshold, as you would
entertain guests whom you cared
to honor. Have extra lights, and
let your parlor look glowing and
inviting. Play your new pieces,
sing your new songs, ask in the
pretty daughter of your next door
neighbor or the merry girl over the
way, and have a good time at home.
Then, too, we have often thought
that every woman who is a mother
ought to have a motherly feeling
for other women’s sons. They
come to towns and cities in scores,
boys from farm houses and from
fishing villages, and what sort of
homes do they find?
Their salaries are small, they
want to have something to send to
the old folks or to lay by for future
use, and the price of board is high.
They are obliged to seek the shel
ter of the most unhomelike board
places, from which in the evening
they are glad to escape anywhere,
so that the dullness and monotdny
of their lives shall find relief. Now
why cannot our homes be made to
open wider doors than they do to
just this class ?
We once knew a lady who, every
Thanksgiving and Christmas, was
accustomed to gather about her
dinner table all the young men and'
women she could hear of who had
no home to go to on those festival
days, and we thought it a lovely
thing to do, because so full of the
inspiration and essence of Christian
kindness. How many times might
a motherly hand upon a shoulder, a
womanly hold upon his heart, save
a young man from drifting into'
temptations that he cares little for
in themselves, but which attract
him because he is lonely and de
pressed.
Romantic. 7
A young lady of twenty rejected
an old gentleman of means, bar de
cision intensely disappointing him.
Ho thought the matter over and
sought a private interview', when he
assured her that his attachment was
not selfish, that he was ready to
make any sacrifice, to do anything 1
within his power to contribute to
her happiness; and further, that if
her affections were fixed on any one
whose wealth might not be adequate
to his good fortune, he was ready
by a settlement of one hundred thou
sand pounds to place her happiness
in her own power! The lady looked
at him for a moment in surprise,
gave him her hand in token of ap
preciation, and thanked him for his
disinterested generosity. When she
was alone she pondered over this
experience. Such a proof of disin
tered attachment was perfectly un
deniable, and the more she thought
of the matter the more interesting
did the gentleman grow in her eyes'
The revolution in her feelings was
complete. He was received the next
time she saw him, at her father’s
house, with such encouraging smiles
that he was led to speak once more
of the ardor of his love, and with so
much effect that the hapjjy day was
soon decided upon by between them.
If this little affair had not occurred
in the aristocratic circles of Belgra
via, probably the world would never ~
have known the particulars of this
very happy and romantic marriage.
Method in Work. — Do instanly
whatever is to be done; take the
hours of reflection for recreation
after business, and never before it. ’
When a regiment is under march,
the rear is often thrown into confu
sion because the front does not'
move steadily and without interrup-*
tion. It is the same thing with bus- ;
iness. If that which is first in hand
is not instantly, steadily and regu
larly dispatched, other things accu-'
mulate behind, till affairs begin to'
press all at once, and no human
brain can stand the confusion; pray
mind this—it is one of your weak
points, a habit of mind it is that is
very apt to beset men of intellect
and talent, especially when their
time is not filled up regularly, but is
left to their own arrangement. But
it is like the ivey round the oak,
and ends by limiting, if it does not
destroy, the power of manly and
neeessarv exertion.
