Bigger pitches in our pants.

TWO TOILERS.
Two men tolled side by side from sun to sun,
And both were poor;
Both aat with children when Iho day was done
About their door.
Ono saw the beautiful in crimson cloud
And shining moon;
The other, with his head in sadness bowed,
Hado night of noon.
Ono loved each tree and Cower aud singing
bird
On mount or plain;
No music in the soul of ono was stirred
By leaf or rain.
Ono saw the good in every fellow man,
And hoped the best;
Thu other marveled at his master’s plan,
And doubt confessed.
One, having heaven above and heaven below .
Was satisfied;
The other, discontented, lived in woe,
An<l hopeless died.

A VANITY BOOK.
Personal Record Keeping Whose Interest
Excuses Its Vanity.
In the beginning ouo’s parents must
be the authors, or if tho parents will
not then seme devoted aunt may win
for herself the warmest thanks in years
to come. When Heart’s Delight came
to earth somo 15 yoars ago, a substan
tial volume was bought to bo her book.
Into this went first the genealogy of the
family on father’s and mother’s sides as
far as thore was knowledge cf it. Pho
tographs of great-great-grandparents,
grandparents and parents were inserted.
The wedding dress of tho paternal
grandmother was shown by a small
piece, and the maternal side was rich
with bits cf tho wedding dresses of
mother, grandmother and great-grand
mother. Photographs of father and
mother at the time of their marriage
aud when Heart’s Delight was born
were also added. To these were added
one of the house and tbo room which
the little maid made blessed by ha
coming. The announcement card went
in and letters written for her \.c]c
I>i:,mina wrote a description cf tho won
uer, and papa took her photograph.
A.I this was for the beginning, but
as months went on there was more to
chronicle. Baby’s ways, the coming of
her first tootii, her first word and when
it was spoken, when she began to crc-op
and then to walk —all these were re
corded. Into tho book went, too, such
treasures as tho first sock, the first lit
tle shoe, a piece of her first colored
dress. Everything of whatever kind
that marked a beginning found a per
manent place in the Vanity Book, and
the story of the child’s life may be read
therein.
As the child developed the character
of the items naturally changed. When
she went to school, her early efforts sup
plied more materia!, sometimes in the
shape of school work and sometimes as
stories of childish temptations or griefs
and joys. Heart’s Delight’s firff latter
is entered in the book.
There are so many tokens here that
are treasures, more valuable as they
grow older. Tho first invitation to a
party, tho first theater programme, and
with this are other programmes of
those things which have impressed the
child. Her first party dress, ot course,
was shown in the la. Throughout tho
book aro photographs of Heart’s De
light herself as she grew toward girl
hood and of the girls and boys who
were her friends.
Long ago the boobmaking fell into
the hands cf the girl herself, and she
adds to it all that points to tho story
she is making. Everything of pleasure,
cf special benefit in her life, is to be re
called from this book, aud even now
6he prizes it above all her possessions.
What will it ha to her when she is 50?
What will it be worth to her sou or
daughter when someone writes “Finis”
to it fer her? What would you not give
for such a book left you by your mother
or father? It would be worth more than
money.
There is a great deal of pleasure to be
found iu making such a book for oneself,
though if one begins it after childhood
be loses much that went into the little
cue’s book. It will become filled, how
ever, with the important things of life,
each making these for himself. A vani
ty book is one of the best things iu the
world to show how one’s ideas of values
change and how life’s horizon expands.
It records a lifo with some of those
which preceded it and gave it its bent
and those which accompanied and de
veloped it. Though it may be vanity,
it is yet a vanity with a lesson. —New
York bun.
The Apple Dumpliug.
Apple dumpling day was a red letter
one iu my boy’s calendar. When I had
such a dainty bit in my bag, it seldom
staid there many minutes. Although I
had dispatched a hearty breakfast before
starting, out would coino the dumpling.
“Just to bavo a look at it and to sec if
it is as big as mother generally makes
them,” I would say to myself. Then I
would turn it about and admire its size.
From handling tho dainty to tasting it
was a suro process. “I’ll have one lit
tle bite, only a nibble,” I would say.
When I had got my tooth into tfcrd
dumpling, Adam with his apple v
ii iv It was a ease of once biitcu •••ou
gou . Thun I would hurry on to make
up for my dawdling with only the
hunk of barley hi ,and in my wallet, the
joys of the dumpling behind me, and
before me the day’s drudgery, with per
haps a thrashing iu.—“Life of
Joseph Arch. ”
Chilly.
“Poor papa!” said Ethel. “He has a
dreadful cold. ”
“Must have caught it while sitting
by himself, ” said Chollie, who knew
how frigid the old gentleman could be
when he tried.—London Tit-Bits.
The siege of Troy was mostly a myth.
According to Homer’s own figures, if
there ever was such a man as Homer,
Helen must have been at least BO years
of age when she first met Paris, and
even in tba heroic period of the world
women of that age were a trifle passe.
