A Glass of Beor.
“Mutuum,” uaiil Bessie Ashton,
“didn't you eay that a glass of beer
made a person feel good; and that
it waa healthy aud harm leas?”
“Why, yes, Bniie, I think I did,”
answered Mrs. Ashton, slowly,
somewhat puzzled nt BuMie’a ques
tion.
Mrs. Thompson don’t think so,
maronm. The poor woman just
cries nearly all tho time.”
‘Cries?” intorrognted Mra. Ash
ton, in surprise, for rhe believed
her neighbor to kc ono of tbe hap
piest of women.
Yea, mnnuna,erica ull the time,”
reported Bes»ie, with emphasii
“Mr. Thompson’s cheeks looked
pufftd away out, uu l his fuco ia al
ways so red. She says be is croMs
and icolds continually. But he
didn’t used to bo that way. He
only drank one glues of beor then;
now he cun drink six and eight, and
he gets mad at everything. It don’t
seem to make him feel good or look
healthy.”
Mrs. Ashton’s countenance
pumed a serious change. She felt
keenly tbo force of tbe rebuke, but
answered:
“Mr. Thompson should not give
way to hia appetite for drink. I’i
sure ono glaaa can do no harm.”
“That’s just what he thought,”
•poke up Bessie. “But Mrs.Tbomp.
son says It hud him down on bis
back before be was aware of it.*
“Well, I don’t fcuow,” answered
her mother, abstractedly. “I drink
a glass occaaiotitlly; it don’t soim
to effect me.”
“It don’t puffyour cheeks ont,
mamma; but it makes your face
awfully red sometimes, and you can
drink more than you used to. 54
Mrs. Ashton stopped lo think.
Sbe could drink more than she
used to. Bessio had told the
truth.
When supper time came, instead
of beer, a glass of fresh, sweet milk
stood near her own and her hos-
batd's plate- Mr. Atbton opened
wide his eye* when he sat down to
eaf, and as hit irifs finished rela%
ting the conversation between her*
•elf and Bessie, be aught the
child in his arms and kiawd her
affectionately, remarking: "Not
another drop of beer shall ever en
ter my borne!”
And he kept hia word.

Joe Tbomsi lived on a farm in
tho conntry, and although many
boye woold have thought thorn'
eelvee fortunate lb havtog each I
home, be woe about as discontented
a follow as could bo found.
8ome of the city boye, who bad
vielted him during tbo anmmer va
cation, told him that ho waa
“green,” that be woold bo very
foolish to remain oj a farm all bie
life, and that if be bad any eplrit
about him bo would go to the oity,
where be would have an opportu
nity of aeelng life ae it ebould bo
tcea.
Jog’* father wanted him to re
main at home, leara to bo a farm
er, and acttle down on tbo home-
atead as ho himeelt bad done.
But Joe would not heed the advice.
He wee thoroughly discontented,
a* many another country boy lia*
been, and hie purposo iu life was
to got into some city where bo
could wipe out the stain of 4 *greon<
nese,” which lio fancied every ono
could >ec.
Ho finally succeeded in doing as
bo wanted to; a friend of hie la'
thcr’a procured for him a situation
in a store where ho could earn a
trifle more than auflicient to pay
his board, and he left the broad
acres whereon he had toiled with a
heavy heart because of hia longing
to get to the city, without a single
regret at parting from tbo dear
at home. The farm house,
nestling ami ng tho trees at the
foot of the hill, looked 4i”flr
shabby its be drove atvay to "see
life as it should bo seen,” and iu
ripening grain nnd fruit lie eaw
nothing but reminders of ignoblo
toil. According to Joe’s belief,
life in tbo connlty was liardlv less
than a form of slavery, whilo it
was only in llio oily that happiness
could ho found.
Now, hoys, nnd more especially
you country boys, who are begin
ning to think ns Joo Thomas
thought, I want to tell you how
lie was disappointed in hi. bright
dreams, and if you arc wise you
will profit by this experience.
lio found a hoarding place,
where the small study room, which
was quite at good as any hie fellow
clotki had, offered a poor contrast
to his cozy little chamber nt home,
fragrant with lavender scented
linen, and ns tidy as the apart
ment in the city waa diiorderly,
Instead of looking out over field,
of waiving grain, ta..ultng corn,
or oodd-ng buckwheat to the lolly
hllla beyond, when ho wee in hia
room ho could ■ .0 only a brick
wall hardly filly feet away. In
stead of the fragrance of tbo flow
ers he bad the odor of garbage
from the unswept street, and in
stsad of being lulled to sleep by
the chirpiug of the crickets aud
the plaintive cry of the katadids,
bo was kept awake by tbe tattling
of carte and rumble of street tars.
At ibe table, the differouca be
tween tbe food prepared by tbe
servants in the boarding-house
and that cooked by hi* mother was
•o disappointing that it seemed to
him that be never could enjoy a
meal again natil he conld get one
at home.
But all this was necessary train
ing; he would rid himself of what
tbe boys called “greenness.”
Joe had been told that a boy
on a farm ia obliged to work hard*
er than one in * store in tho city.
He conld aee little er no difference,
save that in tbe former caso bo la
bored in tbe open air, where every,
thing was bright and bealtbfal
around, while in the city he was
shut ont from the sunlight, and
deprived of the health-giving
breets, laden with tbe perfume of
fralta and flower*. At night, in
stead of joining with the boye from
tbe neighboring farms in busking
or poring bee#, candy pnlb, coast
ing or skating, he wsi obliged to
remain in bis cheerless room, er
walk about tbe etreatr, where the
bottling crowds, intent only on
business or their own pleasure,
caused him to feel even more lone
ly than wben be was entirely alone.
He was not many day* in learn
ing that he had been “green” only
from tba city boy’* itabd-poinf,
and that, ao far os country lift won
concerned, they were the ones that
After be had “eeen life,” accord
ingle tbe idsee of bie city friends,
be wrote to his father, and tbe
fallowing U and extract from hia
letter: “I am coming home to
work on the farm, I did think that
inch labor was almost' degrading;
but I find that it is quite at hon
orabie, end certainly more meniy,
than doing a woman'* work behiod
agmnnter. Yon need never fear
that I shall ever want to exchange
the independent farm life fur that
of the city, and I am anre that to
be called green will trouble me no
more. It is better, I think, to be
of those who produce something in
this world than of thoeo who de
pend on the production! of others,
and I now think that there can be
no more manly calling than that
of a farmer.”
Joe went, home, and he waa
wise in so doing, as wise aa yon
will ba, boy*, if you remain on the
iarm, where you will have the
proud cnniciousnesa that you are
doing far more good iu tbo world
than if yon were '‘seeing life” in
tbo oity. Wbat would becorao of
tbe people of this world if all tbo
farmers should suddenly conclude
that tilling tbo ground was not
sufficiently noblo calling ?
When you are discontented with
your lot, boys, remember that it ie
the farmer upon whom all tbo peo
ple in tba world depend on for tbo
actual necessaries of life; then you
will understand tbit no calling
cm be more honorable than that
which is actually aud in fact tbe
mainspring of the whole.
Hurry and Worry,
Tiro New York Tribune apeak,
of it,. iu.rvHsc of rapidity in the
passage made by e'a-auisbips across
the ocean. Every year h
number of days it takes fur the
voyage diminishing just in the
same way as llm time for the trip
across the continent from cue shore
to tbo other lessens. This quick
ra-sago ia considered a most de
sirable tiling, something to bo re
joiced over, and no doubt at new
discoveries are made in science
greater velocity will bo attained,
until tho roaiintum strain which
wood and iron and steel will bear
readied. There i* one great
drawback to this prospect. Time
was when travel was n leisurely
sort of uflair that gavo a oiiancc
for eomo sort of rest and release
from cars, but that bar all passed
away. An ever prevailing restless
is the companion of most trav.
elerx, no matter whether their ob
ject is liuslooss or pleasure. If
tho ears or bout do jiet. pass over
•o much space ia a given time lie
is unhappy. Nothing can compan-
sate for this lack. The m i*l beau
tiful iccncry docs not reward him
for a slow passage. lie wants to
“do” so much country, so many
places in a given time, aud what
ever interfores with that destroys
his pleasure utterly.
Tbis hurry eitonds into every
thing. It is a vice of tbe tiroes,
and will da much lo ds.troy tbo
health and rigor of tba American
people. It baa been said, and sta
tistics show that tho average of life
is longer now thnn a quarter of a
century ago, and it bos been thought
and no doobt with truth, that it
was in conscqucnco of improved
sanitary conditions, tbo greater
knowledge possessed of tbe mechan
ism of tbs boman body and ill
needs lo keep it in good running
order. Much of tbe improvement
will, however, be speedily dooe
awejr with, if tbo rueh and oorvone
exhaustion produced increase ti
rapidly for the next decade si it
bae daring tho leet. It would be
well for preee and pulpit to preaoh
moderation in all things; to try to
impress npon the people the troth
that a little is better tbao much, It
tbe latter ia to be gained by tbe
a verifies of physical health and in
tellectual vigor, and that is tbe
certain result of the pash and tut-
moil Ibet characterize to-day'e liv
ing. —Toronto Blade.

If yon look around on the fecee
in a etreet-oer, tbo number of
fsdsd and sod-boking ccnntenttn-
oet presenting themselves is start
ling. Mature women have espec
ially * tired etr about them, ehow
iog itself not only in pallid com
plexions but in the wearied line*
about the month and eyee. It ie
impoeeible to aeroeiate this appear-
anno with happy lives, and yet,
from dress and manner, the ma
jority would eeem to be comfort
ably placed io tbie world. Ueoel-
ly tbe climato ie soppoaed to have
* great deal to do with tbe early
fading of youthful freibaess, and
tho beauty of hoalth, instead of
reviving with the epring of tbe
year, anally dolaya until the no
mer holidays, followed by the eriep
autumn breezes, invigorate the hu
man system. If the truth was
known, however, I suspect that it
would be found that tbe reason
why women look tired is because
they ere perpetually fatigued.
Modern methods hare not cased
tho cares of wives and mothers,
wboso duties bare developed with
the growth of scieuco and espan-
•iou of art. When children were
thrashed into obcdienco to pater
nal commands, when young people
understood that to hear was to
obey, when husbands only expect
ed their regular three meals a day
and mended and clean clothing,
tho duties of womon were very
to cat, sleep, and work tvas tho
whole duty of man, and tho inter<
oste of posterity a aide irsuc, tire
mistress of tbo household might,
alter hor work was dono, cat nnd
sleep, too. At least ahe had a
cbaucc to work whea husband and
children wore engaged in business
sciiool for loog hours of the
day. Io thoso days, lain or sum
shine was the same, life moved lu
a groove, and there was a proba
bility of things runirng smoothly.
In those days people ate what was
set before them, because there was
not much variety to be bed, and
they were not alwaye developing
new ideas in the way of occupa
tions end diversions that upset tho
regular routine of * household.
Perhaps it wee monotonous, but
it was restful for the houreki epers.
In the great upheaval at mind
which has of late ye irs set each
individual soul on tho search for
that good living which the world
is supposed to Un u, whether the
quest is continued in the direction
of business, pleasure, science, art,
or religion, it is the wife and moth
er who is expected to be the In
strument of providence in provid
ing the meant end forwarding tbe
■ucccse ol tho aeekeri, and nobody
think* of all tbe extra burden thie
throws upon her—tho strain oa
her sympathy, (he tax on her bodi
ly strength. From tbe child who
wants a play made for him to the
hnaband who wan's to talk over

never taken iota account. She ha*

With tho additional
burden of analog that tbo memben
of a family are amtued, as well as
thtlr material wants provided for,
it is ao wonder that wives and
mothers look tired. No doubt
men feel Urn fatigue of the con-
slant drive that is requisite to keep
op with tbe general stride, but
they have • peculiar faculty of
being abl* to take a rest, tven in
tbe midst of turmoil. Women,
unfortunately, from long expe
rience ia being overdriven, get into
tbit elate where they rannot re
pose, even when tbe opportunity
offers. This is a state of nervoae
expectation, brought about by tbe
knowledge that then will bo eomc-
