And so you are twenty-one to-uay Archie? 1 can hardly realis j that it is so. It seems but yesterday that you were a wee laddie, in your first pair of knickcrbookers,chasing the cat all over the yard. And now \ou are a “gentle man growed” as Mr. reggotty says; really to put aside children thing*, and take entire control or your inheritance. No, I haven’t gone crazy. I see that your coat is somewhat shabby, your hat the worse for wear, and.that your thoei have been mended. Sftll I repeat you have an inheritance that a monarcli might envy. Sit down anti let us make an inventory, since you seem so scepti cal. and perhaps 1 eau prove that I ran F *Flrst, here are two young eyes bright and clear, to discern right from wrong. There are two strong arms to fight life’s battle. A healthy young body, unwnsted by disease and unwrecked by dissipation. (Never mind the coat that covers it.) More than o>io millionaire would exchange his fortune for your physique. Youhavean intellect fairly brained, to enjoy the beauties of litera ture and wonders of teitnee; an honest young heart, capable of being filled to the brim, with love for God and man. You have habits ol industry and econo my—tiie natural result of life m a straitened home—which will prove of priceless value. You have the name your father gave you, a name uutainted by dishonor or crime. You have that your path, you have the prayers, which your saintly mother for twenty-one years have offered up for her boy. Best of all, dear, you have “The inheritance incorruptible,that fadeth not away,” if you will only take it. Archie shake hands, I really feel that I must con gratulate lliel heir to so princely a fur- tune. Cocsnt Betty A SOCIETY QUEEN WHO ABDI CATED. From Youth's Companion: Two of the prettiest girls in a towr. where pretty girls are by no means rare have recently passed the point beyond which they cannot with propriety be spoken of as“giris.” Both of them once possessed unusual beauty: both were considered, though in widely dif ferent ways, attractive. They were spoken of as “belles” in the circle in which they moved. One of them, who.with a little touch ing up of the cheeks and eyebrows, and the assistance of a skillful dressmaker, is yet handsome, still considers herself ‘belle,” and makes her de»irefor ad- fortablv evident. She is unmerciful in Iher criticism of the younger girls who lare just entering her set; she likes to snub and disconcert them; she speaks I of them as “chits” and schoolgirls. She has no feminine friends, and. as her old admirers marry or desert her, she tluds her native place growing more and more dull/and finally gets out of i* as often as possible. Every summer Jwith many huge trunks filled with gorgeous clothes, she goes to a large hotel at some gay resort and spends the season in “showing off.” Some people laugh at her, but there arc some who admire, and she will be able, doubtless, to play at being belle a few years longer. _ . The other lielle belongs to a family rich iu children, beauty, health and g ood-temper. Her dresses have nev r |een costly nor jspccially elegant, but [no one everstopped to think what sbe had on. She is still pretty, without touching up, hut the first fresh bloom of her beauty has departed, and people I begin to lament thet she doesn’t marry. Not that they make ill-natured re marks on the subject, hut they say she is not the kind of person who ought to be au “old maid.” She is so capable, so domestic, so sweet-tempered, so fitted to be a wife and motlicr, that she ought certainly V> be the mistress of a home. It is rumored, moreover, thatsheJwt had a great many offers; and itis known though not through her telling of them, that she has had several. To be sure, in talking over her suitors the gossips agree that they were good euongli young men, but none Of them good enough for her. It seems to be on gen eral principles only that she had mar ried. Meanwhile, before any one realizes what she is doing, or that' she means to do it, still less to think that it is time for her to do it, it is found that tins belle has abdicated! There is no formal announcement of tlie fact, but itis so. Sho goes seldom to parties. She ceases to act in theatricals or pose in',tableaux; she manages instead for those who do. At church fairs, she is found no longer as flower girl, or peasant waitress, or gypsy fortune teller in coins and gay scarfs; instead, she smiles at you acroas the M>ron table, or shares the distracting labors of the supper com mittee, or is placed in charge of the children’s march. As sweet, serene, and gay as ever, sbe share* the enjoyment of every fes tal occasion, and add* to its charm. But people come to her now with com pliments, not for herself, but for her sister next in age, just budding into wamanly beauty; or for the little brother, who i»!»> ed vrc..; flushes with pride and pleasure, as such things are said to her. She is yet more pleased when a gra cious word is spoken concerning the the older sister, the shy and awkward one, not blessed with the family beau ty ; and takes pains herself to mention when the rest are praised, how sweef tempered that one is, and how helpful at home. What she herself is at home, only the tired housewife whose burden she lift3,|aud the little flock to whom sbe is a second mother, will ever kudw. One cannot be a belle for a whole life. The time comes when, if a girl would not be pushed down, site must step down—unless, indeed, she will step up instead. That is always possi ble to do; and she who does it loses nothing and gains much. Even her beauty often does not vanish, but mere ly changes in kind. ’ People may not say so often, ‘ How pretty she looks!” but they will bo more than ever likely to say, “How lovely she is!” ■>pci .pH known* to be lsoeMle to the excessive betting which is practiced in the army.

An important nobleman askcl William 1 to ask bis grandson to withdraw the prohibition; but the old Kaiser's subse quent request was met with the ques tion: “Am I Colonel of theregimeiit?’t “Of course,” said William I. “Then your Majesty will allow me to maijitaiu my position or to return it now to your hands.” the next time the nobleman spoke to the Emperor upon the-subject, the latter said: “I am very, sorry. I have tried everything, but the Colonel positively refuses.” MINOR ITEMS. Brief News Notes Taken From our Repor ter’s Note Books.

It is stated that every other person in Massachusetts has some money laid up in the saving banks or other banking institutions; and that more was thus laid up last year than has been laid up for the previous fifteen years. Doubt less, if all the money spent on follies anfl sins and trifles were deposited in a savings bank, it would be a wonderful help in the time of sickness and stagna tion in business, and would lessen the burden of life to the mother and chil dren who may be widowed and or phaned by the death of the father. But there is a wiser laying up, “Lay not up your treasnre on earth where moth and rust corrupt and where thieves break through and steal, bftt lay up your treasure, in Heaven where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is there will your heart be also.” Insurance is an excellent thing. Many have been saved from financial ruin by it. But better still is it to make one’s “calling and election sure,” so that the fires of tlie last day shall not destroy our hopes. d Loan Building and Associations are good, better , but to build above the skies is itter. A pretty cottage is a desirable thing, but ’tis more desirable to have “a building of God or bouse not made with hands eternal, and in the Heav ens.” The recent finding of phosphate de posits in Florida has waked up multi tudes to hunt for more, as we 1 as to utilize the deposits already found. Tbia recalls one of our Lord’s parables, “The kingdom of Heaven is like unto treasure kid in a field; the which, when a man hath found, be hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all tnat he bath and buyeth that field.” A wise man will seek to be thrifty for both worlds. DYING OF THIRST. Some are disappointed and disgusted with life. After long seeking from the world a happiness which it fails to bring, they have become dissatisfied with everything, and with themselves, and are filled with sadness and distress; they are dying of thirst! Others have lost what had been to them their joy, and know not where to turn for com fort; their souls are parched and dry, as those who are dying of thirat! Oth ers hare failed to find true and lasting happiness in the pleasures of the world, or m the gratification of their own passions and desires. Conscience awakened is causing alarm. They would silence this voice if they could ; or they may truly seek for pardon anil peace and purity, but know not bow or where to satisfy their wish. They, too, are dying of thirst. Others, still, bare attained to the purpose of living good and honest lives, free from grosser vice, and with a store of commendable virtue, so as to merit God’s, favor. But they find this a vain attempt. They see their lives to be a tissue of sin and of misery, and they dread the approach of death and of judgment. They also are dying for thirst. . To all of these the same word is to be said—the same announcement of glad tidings made: Believe and live, the waters of Divine love and salvation are within your reach.” “Ho, every one that tbirsteth, come ye to the waters,” was the voice heard in olden time;'and these are the words of Christ, the Sa viour: “If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink.” “Whoso ever drinketh of tlie water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I gave him shall be in him a well of water springing up into ever lasting life.”—Sunday at Home. MAKE THE YEAR BEAUTIFUL. From Forward. Our New Year wish for our readers is that they may make 1890 a beautiful year—that is, that each one may make bis own year beautiful in the record it leaves. The year is a book with pages now white and clean, and yon are to write something on these pages. Let what you write be beautiful. Let it be something you will not be ashamed to see when on the great judgment day your book shall he opened and the pages exposed to view. To make this a beautiful year, yon must live a pure, good life, obeying God’s commandments and keeping yourself from sin. Of oourse, it is not possible to live without sinning, but it is possible to avoid wilful sins, and to live a very true and holy life. It should be the sincere desire and the earnest effort of all young people to keep them selves innocent amid all the world’s de filement. It was the prayer of a queen, written with a diamond on her ca3tie window: “Keep me innocent, make others great.” Innocence is better in God’s sight than greatness. This is a good New-Year prayer for our young readers. This is one way to make 1890 a beautiful year. Another way is to fill it with good deeds. It was said of Jesus that He “went about doing good.” Thus Ho made His years beautiful. He wrote all over tlie white pages records of kind ness, of gentle acts, of unselAsh minis tries, of helpful deeds. You want to walk in Christ’s foot-steps, to be like Him. Make 1890 a year bright with memories of kindness. Make aoqie one happier before the day closes, every day of the. three hundred and sixty-fives Then your whole year will be beauti ful. This is our New Year’s wish for yon, one and all. The Lord bless you, and keep yon. The Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be graciotu unto The Lord lift up His countenance you, and give you peace. MISERY MAKERS. There are some people you cannot be with for five minutes before you feel miserable,.. They do hot mean to dis turb yon, but they sting you to the bone. They gather up all the yarn which the gossips spin, and peddle it. They gath er up all the adverse criticisms about your person, abont your business,about your home, about your church, and they make your ear the funnel into which they pour it. They laugh hear tily when they tell you, as though it were a good joke, and you laugh too— outside. These people are brought to onr attention in the Bible, in the book of Ruth: Naomi went forth beautiful and with the finest of worldly pros pects into another land, but after awhile she came back widowed, and sick, and poor. What did her friends do when she came back to the city? They all went out, and instead of giving her common sense consolation, what do they do? Read the Book of Ruth and find out. They threw up their hands and said, “Is this Naomi ?” as much as to say, “How very bad yon ;look?” When I entered tbe ministry I looked very pale for years, and every year for fonror five years, a hundred times a year, I was asked if I wasnot In a con sumption. - And passing through the room I would sometimes bear people sigh and cry, “A-ah, not long for this world 1” 1 resolved in those times that I never, in any conversation, would say anything depressing, and by the help of Godlhave kept the resolution.
