We must bo brave, my heart and i. Wo have no timo to givo to tears For broken hopes, that ruined lie Along the pathway of tho years. We must look up, my heart and 1, Straight on, whore Faith and Hope are seen. With eager step and earnest eye. With steady trust and steadfast mien. Look np, not down; look on, not back. And grasp tho hand of Faith secure. For "not a good thing shall he lack" Who thus "through alt things shall en dure." "Tired out," you say; nay, nay, not sol For "as the day, thy strength'sh&ll be," And ho who bids you "Rise and go," Has also said, "Come, follow mel" He does not ask that we should tread A path ho has not gone bofqre: Then follow, without fear or dread. For ho will guide you, doubt no more. -Lucy Leggett in Good Housekeeping. The Duty of Not Getting Tired. Are you otie of the women who say, “I am perfectly well, only I get tired easily?" If you do you are one of thou* sands. And yet, little woman, don't you know that getting tired easily Is just of itself a disease? It shows a let* ting down of the vital forces that re quires attention and toning up. You need first of all more rest, not neces sarily more hours of sleep at night, but little half hours of rest snatched here and there in your hours of work. And by rest Isn’t meant simply the physical rest that comes from lying down. Don’t He down to think over your plans for economy, or for enter taintng, or for anything else. When you Ue down to rest shut your eyes and stop thinking. Ten minutes of this is better than an hour of the other. Then you need more food probably. Not more food at meals necessarily, but food taken oftener. Instead of waiting until luncheon take a cup of beef tea during tho forenoon. In the* afternoon take a glass of milk and a biscuit if tlmt agrees with you. or an egg lemonade If that suits you bettor. And then got a little fresh air every day. Get It any way, if you have to cut short manicuring your nails or say ing your prayers to do it. And get it in the exercise of walking if you can.—■ New York Evening Sun. A Retired Hired' Man. A nativo of tlio verdant Isle, who lmd newly arrived In America, was hired by a gentleman us a gardener. Tho coun try place on which he was to work was on the shore of Long Island sound, the waters coming to within a few rods of the houso. Besides his care of the gar den, Pat was supposed to bo tho custo dian of an ancient donkey, who had many oeeentricities, and who Pat de clared to bo tho “cleverest baste that iver wore a tall." Ono evening, as the family were at dinner, the Irishman came tearing up tho veranda and Into the hall. “Come quick, sorl" hecrled, through the open door. “Come quick. The ass Is in the say, and a-lepping to get out.” And hurrying his master to the shore be pointed wildly to the creek, Where, In the placid summer waters, a school of porpoises were roll lng In uncouth gambols, looking really not unlike an enormous beast strug gling In tho waves,—Now York Tri bune. ' Shrewd Delivery Hoys* The boys who deliver packages for the dry goods stores have a shrewd trick by which they make a few extra pennies. As every one knows, dry goods are never sold for even money, but foot up bills that always end with either fifty-seven, forty-nine or twenty- seven cents. The boys are always giv en a generous supply of small coin to make change with when they deliver goods sent C. 0. D. They pretend, however, never to have it, and, as there Is seldom the right change in the house, they get the odd pennies. And the little fellows deservo them. —New York Herald. AN ARTIST'S RANCH. We are still selling t Groceries '^^heaper thari any other house in town, and expect to ft continue to do so, as we afe here to stay. live us a call it you want A MOTHER’S ANXIETY. fietorohtng for Subjects She Bought Seven* ty Odd Acres In California. In tho Bouth gallery of the Acade my of Design two years ago was a largo painting of California violets that attracted considerable attention, and was sold quickly. The canvas seemed to exhale the fragrance of the real flowers, according to the imagination of some persons. The artist was Mrs. S. A. Norton, a Long Island woman. She had been a pu pil of Gifford and Sartain, and in her search for color and new studies she went to California. After painting grapes of various sizes and colors that almost demoralized her, and finding herself incompetent to trans fer to canvas as rapidly and satis factorily as she desired, she decided to bo a land owner, and learning of a vineyard ranch near Santa Cruz she invested. Buena Vista is the suggestive name of the ranch. Forty of seventy-five acres are used for grape culture. One acre, or a little less, netted #770 for the Royal Isabella grape. On the ranch. are two apple orchards and one of prunes, with a hundred new trees which began hearing in 1890. In one week 34 tons of fruit were drying for market. The house orch ard contains nectarines, apricots, plums, pears, peaches and cherries. The ranch is shut in by higli, thick trees, redwood abounding, and from its situation it has only four hours of sunshine in winter. In tho summor the growth of vines is marvelous. A rose vine sent out a shoot that grew twenty feet in a short time. The luxu riance and prodigality of flower life at Buena Vista is intoxicating. Passion vines in full flower of the richest colors straggle over the fences, screening every bit of wood. Mrs. Norton added to her large stock of the choicest roses fifty of the finest Erom Rochester greenhouses, most jf them everblooming. As neither rosebugs or slugs are known there, nothing mare their perfection. The climbers rival the passion vines in producing flower screens. Clematis and a tropical vino of great beauty cover tho porch of the houso, and the houso, which is not pretentious, will be covered soon by roses. Mrs. Norton finds life in that lo cality more desirable than home quarters in this fickle and unfriendly climate; In her house at Orecnyalo farm ore tho results of Bar Harbor days, studies of the flowors from her Long Island garden, and studies of California fruits and flowers, besides a few portraits of local characters, one being the dusky face of Tom Bray’s wife, as colebrated in the coun try for her coolring as her husband is for his fiddling. It is interesting to note that the ranehwomau and artist has a womanly pride in simple femi nine ways, und finds delight in the dainty exquisiteness of her needle work. She proudly proclaims her self “country bom and bred." Mrs. Norton is a member of the California State Floral society, and her description of the exhibits of this socioty, and her talks with the super intendent of the Golden Gate park green houses, are very interesting. She Bays that Timothy Hopkins, also a member of the society, is an enthu siast about violet culture, growing acres of them.—New York Sun. Done by a Menu Man. The meanest mao on record lives In Union county. Ue sold his son-in-law one-half of a cow, and then he refused to divide the milk, maintaining that be sold only the front hall The son-in- law was also required to provide the feed the cow consumed, and compelled to carry water to her three times a day. Recently the cow hooked the old man, and now he Is suing his son-in-law for damages.—Vandalia Gazette. In 1821 was taken the first complete record of the population of the United Kingdom. The population was then 21,272,187. In 1831 It was 24,392,486; In 1841, ’27.067,923; 1861, 27,746,949; 1861, 29,321,288; 1871,31,846,379; 1881, 86,246,662. The- Other Entrance. “Come in this way,” a young worn an was overheard to say recently, taking her companion past the main entrance of one of the large dry goods shops to the door opening from a cross street. “What’s .this for?” she was asked. “Oh, this is the car riage entrance. I always go in such when I can. There is a brief but pleasurable distinction, and—life is made up of trifles, you know.”—New i. - f • ■ York Times. Borneo Greeley's Daughter. In her new home at Westchester, N. Y., Mrs. Greeley Clendenin find* her sphere of usefulness somewhat enlarged, & her husband is rector of the ancient parish of “the Episcopal church of St. Peter," a parish which has any number of guilds and organi zations for charitable work, the prob lem to meet of holding in one beau tiful church all classes and conditions of wealth and poverty, and the great city near it is fast coining to its boundaries. While Mrs. Clendenin enjoys luncheons and dinner parties and all social functions, she is also perfectly happy and satisfied in the quieter duties of her home life. She is fond of reading, although she seldom reads a newspaper, and says that she never takes up a book for more than an hour at a time.—Frances E. Smith in Ladies’ Home Journal Heartrending Abaenttnlmleriueaa Took Away the Fteanure of a Visit. An up town woman accepted an Invitation for one night for herself and husband to (line and sleep at the house of a friend in Morristown. That would be a simple enough" af fair to many persons, but to the woman in question it was an elab orate transaction, because sho never left her children overnight. -How ever, after getting her husband's sis ter to come up from Staten Island to stay, and making her brother, who lived with her, promise he would spend the evening at home in case any emergency should arise needing a man's assistance, the overdevoted mother f61t a certain sense of security for the brief absence. It was a consolation, too, to recall as. she rode down town about 2 o'clock that the nurse had been with her for four yeara, and the cook and housemaid were triod and faithful -servants as well. Still this did not prevent her meeting her hustiand with a torrent of suggestive anxieties, and the trip to the ferry was inter larded tyith frequent outbursts of ex aggerated maternal fears. They were in midstream, though, before the tragedy came. Mrs. A. had beep sitting wrapped in deep thought for several seconds when suddenly her face took on an expres sion of agony, and clutching her hus band's arm she. exclaimed, “Oh, Frank I" in tones of such real distress that her husband thought she was about to,taint “What is it?” he asked, greatly alarmed. “Oh, I left the bathroom window open," she gasped, "and Harold some times Btrays in there, and the bar is off, you 1 now. I thought it would not matter till summer, for the win dow Is never open Have under my supervision,” "Why is it open today, then?” the half angry, half anxious father in quired. ; I wanted to air tho halls well be fore I left ' I'm always so afraid of sewer gas, and Jessie might forget it. Oh, dear ifimust go back at once." and the distracted woman started for the rear of the boat. Her husband impatiently detained her. • i >>vou Wtd'f owtiu uu bum grimly. “There’B no use in your going back anyway. When we got across we’U send a dispatch to Jossio." “But if she shouldn't get it,” wailed the mother, who liy this time saw the mangled form of her four-year-old stretched on the flags beneath the bathroom window, "hadn't wo hot ter send a messenger, and you could pay him extra to make hint fly?” Mr. A. thought this might be a difficult and expensive result to ob tain, and persuaded his wife that electricity would he better. At the telegraph station her doubts arose again and considerable time was con sumed discussing the efficiency of each method. Finally a “rushed” dispatch was sent, Mrs. A. writing it, and finding a degree of relief in underscoring some of the words: Be (lire to .hut the bathroom window at once. Answer Morristown. By this time the train they started for had gone, and a half hour's wait was cheerfully occupied by Mrs. A. in felicitating herself that she had left the family physician’s telephone call with her sister-in-law Jessie and also with the nurse. They had bare ly reached their rooms after greeting their hostess, when a servant brought up a dispatch. Mr. A. tore the en velope and mastered its contents. “Well,” said his wife anxiously. “ ‘You did not leave it open. Jes sie,’ " read Mr. A.—Her Point of View in New York Times. AguHHls tho Toucher. Agassiz was above all else a teacher. His mission in America was that of a teacher of science—of scionce in the broadest sense as the orderly arrange ment of all human knowlodge. Ho would teach people to know, not bIui- ply to remember or to guess. Ho be Ueved that men in all walks of life would be more useful and more suc cessful through tho thorough develop ment of tho powers of observation and judgment. He would have the student trained through contact with real things, not merely exercised in the recollection of the hook descrip tions of tilings. “If you study na ture in books,” he Haid. "when you go out of doors you cannot find her.” -Professor David Starr Jordan in Popular Science Monthly. A Horse's Strength* The average weight of a horse iH 1,000 pounds; his strength is equiva lent to that of five men. In a horse mill moving at three feet per Becond. track twenty-five feet diameter, be exerts with the machine the power of 41 horses. Tho greatest amount a horse con pull in a horizontal line is 900 pounds, but he can only do this momentarily; in continued ex ertion probably half of this is tho limit—Humane World, ' * A Good IMaoo for an Iceman.

We ought never to forget in our estimate of success as opposed to failure that there is a higher stand ard than the merely material one. To succeed financially may be to fail morally, and in our ardent, pushing, commercial country we need con stantly to set before our boys and girls the love of work for the work’s own sake. Tho immortal words of Agassiz, when invited to undertake a certain enterprise, with the induce ment that so doing would be finan cially very profitable, cannot be too often repeated—“I have no time to moke money.”—Harper’s Bazar. Caleb Cushing Was a Linguist. The late Caleb Cushing excelled as a linguist, and was said to he able to converse with all the foreign ministers at Washington in their own tongue. It is also stated that as our commis sioner in China he negotiated the first treaty without the aid of an' terpreter.—Green Bag.
