Our Ilappy Henson. From the Washington Capital Cool weather comes, bald-headed men Observe the fact with glee, For each may say and say again. ‘ There are no flies on in *. ’ Whens. When a man tells me that lie would not do such a mean act as 15ro. Wank was guilty of, I keep my eye on him to see. When a pessemist tells me that every thing is going to' the dogs, I do not need to see in what direction he is traveling. When a man seeks notoriety and sympathy on the score of what ho has been, I am at once led to question closely what he is. When a man adopts abuse instead of argument for the" advocacy ot a cause, J am sorry for the cause and suspicious of the advocate. When a young minister says he finds it much easier to preach extem pore than to write his sermons, I have sympathy for his congregation. When a person tells me he can’t render Christian service, I spell it “can’t,” and then substitute in its place the truth, “don’t want to.” When a man protests that ho is innocent of an act before lie lias been charged with it, “methinks lie doth protest” too soon, it' not “too much.” When a layman tolls pie that he can preach about as. well as his pas tor, I argue that he either under esti mates the preacher or over-estimates himself. When a merchant advertises that he always gives honest measures, I deal with somebody else. Honesty that has to ho advertised may well be suspected. When a pastor becomes a perpetual scold and critic, I know his own heart needs sweetening. Things in general look wrong when there is dust on one’s spectacles. When a minister constantly tells his people what they should not do and rarely tells them what they should, I expect to find them doing what they should not. When a church gets clique cursed or exclusive, I know Christ is not a member of it, for ho belonged to no' set, no caste, hut to the world. “Whosoever will, let him come,” is the motto of his church. When the deacons of a church are to be found in the vestibule before and after service, welcoming stran gers and smiling everybody into good spirits, I congratulate the pastor, and perhaps envy him a little When a man tells me that he be-1 lieve Shakespeare has done the world as much good as the Bible. I do not know how well lie is acquained with Shakespear, hut I do know lie must he vastlyjgnorant of the Bible. When a politician says lie seeks no office, and is visiting Washington purely for pleasure, I look in the newspapers each morning to find out if he has yet received the appointment to something he professedly does not want. When a young Christian continual ly wants to know why it is wrong for lrim to do this and that doubtful thing, and if it may not he all right in case his conscience approves, 1 am sure it will end by his doing all the desired tilings, right or wrong, con science or no. Moths play around the light until they get fatally burnt. When a man tells me he is an infi del, and then asks me for a few dol lars to save him from starvation, J answer by recommending him to the charitable organizations founded and maintained by infidels. And when he replies ifi bewilderment, that he does not know of any, I assure him that he has uttered one of the stron gest arguments against infidelity and for Christianity. When a member of another denom ination says he has changed his views of doctrine and wants to ui^fe with mine, at the same time seeking a small loan to help him out of immediate necessities, I look into his letter to discover how many other churches he has belonged to and borrowed from. A Christian should not be suspicious overmuch, neither should he squander overmuch on church tramps.—The Standard. IF A nonv MEET A BODY the result is a collision, whether “romtngr thro’ the rye,” or not. Life is full of collis ions. We are constantly colliding with some body or something-. If it isn’t with our neighbors it is with some dread diseases that ” knocks us otT the track ” mid perhaps dis ables us for life. Women especially it seems, have to bear the brunt of more collisions and nlllictions than mankind. In all cases of nervousness, benrinjr-down sensations, ten derness, periodical pains, sick headache , con gestion, lntianunation, or ulceration and all ‘•female irregularities” and “weaknesses,” Dr. Tiorcc's Favorite Prescription comes to the rescue of women as no other medicine does.
