THOUGHTS BY THE WAY.|
ANNIE 1>. BRADLEY.
What weary one among the children
of God is there who does not take com
fort and gain fresh courage by reading,
“He knoweth the way that I take.”
* * *
Mrs. Browning has beautifully said,
“Life is a school where the 'soul is
trained for higher uses, where it learns
the lesson of love, and the power self-
sacrifice.”
* * *
If we could find no suffering upon
earth, to whom could we render service ?
•* * *
The shadows that fall across your
path or mine only prove that we have
been walking in the sunlight.
* * *
It is easier to work than to wait. But
at times it may be your duty and mine
to wait, not to work. Milton says:
“They also serve, who only stand and
wail.” And the word of God comes to
us when tbe time seems long because
the way is dark, and says. “Wait on the
Lord.”—Standard.
THE SUNDAY EXPOSITION.
The great question of opening the Co
lumbian Exposition, or World’s Fair,
to visitors on Sunday is now before the
American people, and is being grappled
with much vigor. It is more than a lo
cal or religious question; it is vitally a
national one. We are glad to see that
tne best thought of tbe nation is being
brought to bear upon it. It is being
discussed in every quarter and well
nigh every circle. The religious press,
of course, is taking an active part. The
Independent is decided and aggressive,
as usual, and is pqttiDg the case strong.
This paper sent to Senators and Repre
sentatives in Congress for their views
on tbe question. One hundred and
nineteen responses were sent in. Of
this number a large majority were in
favor of closing the gates of the Exposi
tion on Sunday. A few favored open
ing them under restriction. A few oth
ers were for opening without restric
tions,—Selected.

LOST: A LITTLE GIRL.
With laughter and snog, ,
She was tripping along.
With bonny blue eyes and with hair all
acuri.
With merriest play
The long summer day—
0 where has she wandered, our precious
wee girl?
A maiden has come
S.might into our Lome,
And taken the place ot the little one gone.
As sweet and as lair,
Wilh braids in her hair,
And sweeter and fairer with time growing
on. ’
t'he is filling her place
Wilh daintiesi grace,
But, thinking ot days which are faded for
ever,
The mother heart sighs,
Wilh tears in her eyes,
That tbe dear little girl will come back to
us—never.
—S. D. in Cnmpanoin.
PRAYING AND. DOING.
“Bless the poor children who haven’t
got any beds tonight,” prayed a little
boy, just before he lay down in his nice,
warm cot on a cold, windy night.
As he rose from his knees his mother
said: “You have just asked God to
bless the poor children; what will you
do to bless them ?”
The boy thought a moment. “Why
if I had a hundred cakes, enough for all
the family, I would give them seme.”
“Butyou have no cakes; what then,
are you willing to do?”
“When I get money enough to buy
all the things I want and have some
over, I will give them some.”
‘•But you haven’t enough money to
buy all you want, and perhaps never
will have; what will you do to bless the
poor now ?”
“I will give them some bread.”
“You have no bread; the bread is
mine.”
“Then I could earn money and bny a
loaf myself.”
“Take things as they now are—you
know what you have that is your own;
what are you willing to give to help the
poor?” ■
The hoy thought again. “I’ll give
them.half my money. I have aeven
pennies; I’ll give them four. Wouldn’t
that be right?”
STRANGE MEETING.
Years before California became a part
of the United States, a Scotch boy,
named David Spense, was sent out to
the Pacific Coast by a mercantile house
as its agent to purchase hides and tal
low. He settled at Monterey, married
a California young lady, grew in honor
and wealth, and had “Don” prefixed to
his name.
It was the custom of the people of
Monterey to give a grand fandango to
tbe officers of any man-of-war which
visited their harbor. One day an En
glish man-of- war appeared in the har
bor, and Don David Spense was sent on
board to tender the hospitalities of the
citizens to the officers.
The captain thanked him, but said
he must decline the invitation, as the
vessel would put to sea that night. He
gave, however, leave to the officers to
go on shore, and tbe first lieutenant ac
cepted a seat in Don David’s boat.
“If I am not mistaken, you are a
countryman of mine,” said tbe lieuten
ant.
“I am Scotch,” answered Spense.
Conversation disclosed that'they were
both natives of the same town.
“Let me see, let me see,” said the
officer. “Yes, I knew a Widow Spense,
who lived there iu a handsome house a
long time ago—yes, and she had one son
about my age.”
“Your name, lieutenant, is Barclay ?”
said Spense.
“It is,” replied the officer.
“Oh, it must be so!” said Spense,
throwing open bis arms. “You are the
boy 1 thrashed thirty five years ago, for
breaking my mother’s window on a
Christmas morning.”
“The same.”
The two men were locked in each
other’s arms, and the captain, on hear
ing of the recognition, remained in the
harbdrover night, so that they had'the
fandango.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
, Twenty yeara ago Thomas Scott,
' Pennsylvania, one of tbe. shrewdest of
railway men, spent a few days in a
country village. An active, bright
faced boy in the bouse where he board
ed attracted his notice. He asked the
school-master what was the capacity of :
the lad. .
“He is dull,” was the
headed and incapable, „
enough to learn. His father wishes to
make a chemist of him, but be cannot
master the first principles of the
science.”
Mr. Scott watching the lad, observed
that in the affairs of daily life his judge
ment was clear and jnst, and his obser
vation keen. He showed, too, a singu
lar faculty for managing bis school
fellows. The boy’s parents were in
duced to take him from school, and Mr.
Scott cave him work in the yard of a
railway.
“Now,” said he, “you have no long
er to deal with books, but with things
and men. Make jour own way. I be
lieve you can do it.
, It wsstbe first time tbe boy had been
told that be was not wholly a dolt. He
of tri
proved to be energetic, intelligent, and
enthusiatic in his work. There was a
certain firmness and cordiality in his
manner which gave him control over
his associates. He was soon sent out on
the road in charge of a gang of men. A
few years later when Mr. Scott came
that way again, the young man was su
perintendent of a division. He after
ward rose steadily to the front rank in
his profession. •
A boy is too apt to be influenced in
the choice of his life-work by some acci
dent or petty motive. His father and
grandfather have been successful physi
cians, or manufacturers, or butchers
and it seems natural and right for h."
to follow in their footsteps. Or histinti-
mate friend at college is going to study
law and he must do the same.
Sometimes a pious father and mother
cherish a fond hope that the boy will
devote his life to preaching tbe gospel,
and, rather than disappoint them, he
does it, with no fitness or real zeal for
the work.
In each case the lad’s life is a failure
for the want of a little deliberation and
a careful examination of bis natural
abilities.
Among the readers of tbe Companion
there are tens of thousands of boys who
must soon make choice of their profes
sion or trade, one of the most momen
tous earthly questions which will be set
before them.
Don’t be in a hurry, boys. Do not let
an accident decide for you. Do not
choose an occupation because it is more
“genteel” than others. It is tbe man
who givss character and dignity to his
occupation, as to his clothes.
Do not think, because you were rated
dull at school, that there is no honora
ble place in tbe world. There are tal
ents and powers which do not deal with
books. God sends no man into the
world without providing an occupation
for him in wnich he may earn respect.
You have yours.
But take care that the work is that
for which the tool is fitted. The mere
fact that the work seems pleasant and
attractive to you does not prove that it
is fitted to yonr faculties. Yon may be
ambitious, but you cannot climb a lad
der without feet and bands.
Learn the strength of your feet and
hands, find the right ladder, and then
trust only in God and to yourself and
make your way np it.
