Years have passed since tlicn, and i
Mary with her husband bo together
inder the green sod of the church
yard. Jeannette has grey hairs mix-
id with the bright brown of her
losses, hut site lives in a home of j
iplendor, and none know but to bless |
her. There is a Mary, a gentlo
Mary, in her household, dear to hoi -
as her own sweet children—she is
he orphan child of those who rested
side by side for ten long years.
Udtvaid is rich but property has
not hardened his heart. His hand
never tires of giving God’s bounty to
God's poor; and Jeannette is the
uardian angel of the needy. The
jarpet, long since old, is safcrcdly
preserved as a memento of sorrowful
but penitent hours and many a
weary heart owes to Us silent influ-
nce the prosperity that has turn-
id wants wilderness into an eden
of plenty.

Good Iiumou—Keep in good t

i nor. miseries, that make the heart
heavy ami the temper sour." Don: j
let them. Anger is a pure waste of
vitality: it is always folisli, and al
ways disgraceful; except in soriie
ver’v rare cases, when it is' kindled
by seeing wrong done to-another,
i and even that nullle rage seldom
! mends the mother. Keep in good
| humor!
No om! does his best except when
’ cheerful. A light heart makes nim
ble limbs, and keep- the mind free
and alert. No misfortune is so
great as one that sours the temper.
Until cheerfulness is lo3t, noth,
mg is lost! Keep in good humor!
Good temper is like a sunny
day; it sheds a brightness oper ev
erything: it is the sweetner of
toil and the soother of disquietude.
