“ Keep a Stiff Upper Lip.”
There has something gone wrong,
My brave boy, it appears,
For I see your proud struggle
To keep back the tears.
That is right. When you can not
Give trouble the slip,
Then bear it, still keeping
“A stiff upper lip.”
Though you can not escape
Disappointment and care,
The next best thing to do
Is to learn how to bear.
If wheh for life’s prizes
You’re running, you trip,
Get up—start again,
“Keep a stiff upper lip.”
—Phoebe dory.
“Miss Hannah’s Boy.”
It was a cold, dark afternoon, and
Miss Hannah Reed drew her shawl
more closely around her as she
came down the school-house steps.
She was a teacher in the public
school, and since her father’s death,
had found urgent need for all that
she could earn. Miss Hannah’s
strength was not great, and her
work pressed heavily, so that often
when night came she was too tired
to even read.
The day had been a trying one,
- end Miss Hannah felt unusually
weary; the Sunday before she had
given up her Sunday-school class,
because her week’s teaching gen
erally ended in a severe headache.
Thinking over this fact Miss Han
nah gave an audible sigh, and said
half-aloud:
“Well, well, there is no use in my
trying to do anything but earn a liv
ing; I have time and strength for
nothing else.”
At this moment she found herself
opposite a locksmith’s shop, and re
membering that she wanted a key
altered, entered the shop. The
master was out, but a pale, not very
attractive looking boy sat at work,
and he said that she could have the
key by the next day. As Miss
Hannah turned to leave, a weary
look in the boy’s face caught her
eye, and she said in a kindly way:
“Do you like this work, my lad?”
The boy looked up surprised, but
seeing a look of interest in her face,
said timidly: “I like it pretty well,
ma’am, but I get awful tired; I ain’t
used to be shut up so much,”
“What have you been used to
do?” said Miss Hannah.
“I lived on a farm,” said the boy;
“but father did’nt need us all to
help him, so he said I had better
come to the city, and I. found this
place.”
“Do you make enough to live on?”
“I only get about enough to pay
my board, and have very little left.”
“Where do you board?”
“Not far from here; there are
six other fellows that board in the
house.” .
What do you do in the evening?
Do you sit with your landlady?”
“She don’t often sit anywhere, I
guess, for she’s working most of the
time, and we don’t say much to her,
except when we pay onr bills.
When I can earn an extra fifty cents,
I go to the minstrels; it’s right jolly
there.”
“Do you ever go to church?”
“No, ma’am; I don’t know much
about the churches, and my clothes
are not good enough to go.”
“Do you ever read?”
“Not much; there are not many
bdbks at our house; one fellow takes
a New York paper, and he lends me
that sometimes.”
It was getting late, and Miss
Hannah, after learning that the
boy’s name was Joseph Steele, said
pleasantly: “Well, Joseph, we have
had quite a talk, haven’t we?”
Then she went home; but as she
walked along, two voices seemed to
be speaking to her; one voice said:
“Here is a friendless boy with no
good influences around him, can you
not help him a little?” The other
said: “I wouldn’t trouble myself
about him; you have enough to do.”'
The first voice must have been the
stronger, for the next day, when
Miss Hannah stopped for the key,
she said to Joe:
“Would’nt you like to go to Sun
day-school with me next Sunday?”
Joe looked reflective, and said:
“I don’t care much about it, but if
you want me to, I will.”
“I would like to have you go once,
and see how you like it,” said Miss
Hannah; “and if you will call for me
at 2 o’clock next Sunday, we will go
together.”
When Sunday came, Miss Han
nah had a dull headache, and al
most hoped that Joe would not ap
pear; but, as the clock struck, he
came, looking quite clean and neat,
and they soon reached the school.
The room was a very attractive
place, and Joe gazed curiously
around. The superintendent shook
hands with him very kindly, and
then placed him in the class of a
very earnest, faithful teacher. Af
ter school Miss Hannah found a
chance to tell Joe’s teacher a few
facts about his new scholar, and
then she walked some distance with
Joe, and was delighted to hear him
say that “he liked that teacher first
rate, and he meant to come next
Sunday.”
This was the beginning of new
things for Joe. Miss Hannah never
did anything by halves, and her in
terest in the boy did not wane. In
a few weeks she was rejoiced to
discover Joe Steele, dressed in a
new coat, sitting in the church gal
lery. He smiled as he caught her
eye, and after church, he told her
that his teacher had helped him to
get the coat, and to please him he
bad come to church. Before long,
the good teacher invited his whole
class to spend the evening with him.
Joe told Miss Hannah that “it was
the best evening he ever spent;” he
said that “they had nuts and candy
and they looked at pictures, and the
teacher’s sister played on the piano,
and the boys hardly wanted to go
home when the time came.”
A good many times Miss Hannah
purposely passed the little shop, so
that she might give a kindly nod to
Joe as he worked, and it always
seemed to Joe that he could work
better after she passed by. An
other ill-fitting key took Miss Han
nah again to the shop, and this time
she invited Joe to come and see her
some evening; and Joe ventured to
eall, a little scared at first, but greatly
pleased. Miss Hannah showed him
the pretty things in her parlor, and
exerted all her tact to draw him out.
She was pleased to hear him speak
quite intelligently of bis farm life,
and, after showing him her stereo
scope and treating him to red apples,
it was' time to go. Joe remarked
that he had enjoyed himself wonder
fully, and then Miss Hannah loaned
him an interesting book, and, after
promising to come again, Joe took
his departure.
Miss Hannah felt very tired when
her guest had gone, but to the boy
the evening bad been worth more
than gold. The thought that any
one in the great city cared anything
about him was a powerful stimulant
to his better nature. The contact
with a refined, educated lady had
given him a glimpse of a different
life from that which he had known.
Henceforth “Miss Hannah” became
a synonym for all that was good and
wise in the eyes of Joe.
The Reed household begsn to be
interested in Joe, and they fell into
the fashion of calling him “Hannah’s
boy.” Even Mrs. Simmons, the old
lady in the next house, became in
terested in him, and, when he passed
her window, she would nod at him,
and say: “There comes ‘Hannah’s
boy;’ what a deal of pains she does
take for that lad; well, well, it may
do him good,” and then her thoughts
would wander to her own boy far
away, and she hoped that somebody
might care for him.
One day Miss Hannah met Joe
coming out of a beer saloon, and as
she came up, he looked a little con
fused. “Why Joe”, she said, “do
you need to drink beer?” Joe said
that he generally got very thirsty
by noon, and liked to take one glass,
and did not see any harm in that.
“I don’t know as there is,” said Miss
Hannah, “but Joe, many who begin
by going to a saloon fo* beer,
end by taking something stronger,
and I would be glad if you never
went into a saloon again.” Joe
looked very grave as she passed on;
but be told her afterward that he was
not going to the saloon any more.
As the time passed on, a gradual
change was visible in the locksmith’s
boy. Joe’s coat was neatly brushed;
his hair was smooth, and both lan
guage and manner changed for the
better. Potent influences were at
work, and there came a look of in
telligence and resolution into his
face which it did one good to see.
Some time jafter this, the locksmith
had to give up his shop, and Joe was
without? work; but his Sunday-school
teacher succeedechin finding a situa
tion for him in the large store in
which he himself was employed, and
Joe was greatly pleased* Miss Han
nah was delighted at this good for
tune, and, though she saw Joe much
less frequently after this, she knew
that he was going steadily on, win
ning the good opinion of his em
ployers. When she met Joe, the
pleased look in his face showed that
she was still a dearly valued friend.
Two years have slipped away; and
if you had been in Dr. G ’s church
last Sunday, you would have seen a
pleasant sight. Six young men
walked up the aisle and took their
stand as true servants of God.
Among them, with gentlemanly bear
ing and reverent face, stood “Miss
Hannah’s boy.” Could that young
Christian soldier be indeed the same
boy? Yes, for in her pew sat Miss
Hannah, and as she looked at him, a
sacred joy shone in her face. The
good teacher was also there, and as
he and Miss Hannah shook hands
with Joseph Steele after church,
there was a light on their faces akin
to that which angels wear when a
soul is delivered from sin.
Miss Hannah Reed is still teach
ing, and is often weary, hut in the
better country her rest will be sweet,
and to her the Master will say: “In
asmuch as you did it unto ono of the
least of these, you did it unto me.”
Are there not many in our great
cities who, like Miss Hannah Reed,
might help one boy or one girl to a
better life? —Central Advocate.
Speak to the Stranger.
“Who was that quiet appearing
girl that came into Church quite
late, last Sabbath?” I asked a friend
of mine who was an active member
in the Church to which I belonged.
“Did she have on a striped shawl
and dark dress?” inquired my friend,
“If so, it was Anne Linton, a girl
who is a seamstress in Brown’s
shop.”
“I did not notice her clothes in
particular,” I answered, “but I think
that she did wear a striped shawl.
Her face attracted me, and I should
know it among a thousand faces.”
“You are always discovering some
thing very unusual about the ap
pearance of somebody that we know
nothing about,” laughed my friend.
“I would rather be guilty of this,
than to pass by a stranger as indiffer
ently as you aid, by this young lady.
I expected that you were going to
ask her to remain at Sabbath-school
and go into your Bible class, buj yon
never once looked at her” I answered
my good- natured yet careless friend.
“I did not once think of it, and if
I had I believe that she would not
have accepted the invitation, as she
is a stranger in town, and undoubt
edly will not remain here long,” my
friend replied quickly, in the way of
defence.
I did not say anything more, for
Mrs. G was really an excellent
Christian woman, with this one little
fault—carelessness which sometimes
caused her to make grave mis
takes.
But I could not help thinking
about the stranger girl, although I
did not say anything more about her.
Her large dark eyes and finely
formed face revealed more than or
dinary intelligence, and then in
some way I gained the impression
that she was deeply impressed with
religious conviction—if not a Chris
tian already* It seemed to me that
she left the Church very reluctantly,
and was half waiting for an invitation
to the Bible class.
The next Sabbath she came again
and occupied the same seat—just in
front of my own. She bowed her
head very reverently during prayer,
and once during the sermon I saw
her lips quiver with emotion, and a
tear came into her eye. The ser
vices closed, and the stranger girl
lingered as before. My friend, good
Mrs. G., bustled along, but again
forgot to speak to the friendless
girl. She passed out of the church
slowly and did not come again. I
thought that she must have left town,
as I had not seen her for several
weeks, but one Sabbath as I attended
another church I saw her again.
She seemed a little more at ease I
thought, and there was a quiet smile
upon her face. After the services
were concluded I saw many a pleas
ant smile and bow given to the stran
ger girl, and I understood the secret
of tbe changed look upon her face.
I made some inquiries and learned
that she had joined this church, and
earnest and active in all its
work. I also learned that she had
just made a professsion of religion
before coming to our village, and
had had an unusually clear experi
ence. How much the indifference of
my own church people had to do with
her finding a home in another church,
I know not.
Several years have passed since
this occurred, but I have never for
gotten it. Many a stranger’s hand
I have clasped, as I thought of
Annie Linton’s sweet face. I was
young in Christian experience then,
and that lesson was a profitable one
to me.
Speak to the stranger, Christian
friend, with the assurance that no
evil will over grow out of it. It is
better sometimes to step over the
rules of etiquette than to chill some
warm stream of God’s new-given
love by coldness and indifference.

PLAYING BIRD.
KATE.
Let’s all play bird a little while,
Now all our tasks are done;
I’m tired of playing our other plays,
And this is the prettiest one.
ALL.
0, yes! we will play it grandly—
Let’s put our books away —
We have n’t played this for ever-so-long,
So we ’ll play it again to-day.
MAY.
I’ll be a thrush of the meadow,
And sing you my sweetest song,
And have my nest where the lilies blow,
And the brooklet glides along.
TOT.
And I’m such a little creature —
O, I’ll be a little wren,
And sing all day till the sun goes down,
And the world gets dark again.
JENNY.
And I’ll be a crow in the corn field,
And the farmer’s corn I’ll pull,
And that will let some of the mischief out,
For of mischief I am full.
JOHNNIE.
I’ll be a great proud eagle,
And my home shall be in the sky,
And I’ll go soaring and sailing
The clouds and the mountains by.
JOSIE.
And I’ll be an owl in the night-time,
And sit on the old oak-tree;
And all the rest of the little birds
Shall be so afraid of me!
JULIE.
I’ll be a lark in the morning,
And sing at the break of day.
GEORGIE.
And I’ll be a hawk that higher flies,
And frightens the lark away.
FRANK.
I’ll be a man, you children,
A man is the finest sight;
And a man knows more than all the birds,
Now don’t you think I’m right?
THE EAGLE.
If there is a man among us,
Lark, owl, crow, thrush, wren,
I think we’d better all fly away,
For birds are afraid of men.
All make flying motions with their
arms, and scamper away, the man running
after them. —Good Things.
The righteous have the sure
promise of God. They live in and
under it as a panoply, for God never
forgets. His children are very
precious in his sight. He loves
them. He cannot and mil not for
get them.
The blossom cannot tell what be
comes of its odor, and no man can
tell what becomes of his influence and
example, that roll away from him
and go beyond his ken on their
mission.
Dr. Cuyler says: “The surest way
to cure drunkenness is never to begin
to drink. ‘Whoso commits sin be
comes » slave of sin.’ Saving con
firmed drunkards is a prodigious
‘job,’ and commonly demands Om
nipotent aid. But to practice total
abstinence is perfectly simple, easy,
and sure; but it must be done from
the start.”
A country girl wrote to her lover:
“Now, George, don’t you sale to be
at the singing-school to-night.”
George wrote back that “In the
bright lexicon of youth—Webster’s
Unabridged —there’s no such word
as‘fale.’” . ‘
JMr. Keegan, in the New York Legis
lature, when the Daily free-rum bill
| Wftß brought to a vote, said: “Believing
‘fhat this is a question between God and
the devil, and between heaven and hell,
I shall vote against hell and the devil
by recording myself against the bill.”

Remedies
are not advertised as “cure alls," but are specifics in
the diseases for which they are recommended.
NATURAL SELECTION.
Investigators of natural science have demonstrated
beyond controversy, that throughout the animal
kingdom the “survival of the fittest” is the only law
that vouchsafes thi ift and perpetuity. Does not the
same principle govern tho commercial prosperity of
man? An inferior can not supersede a superior arti
cle. By reason ot superior merit, Dr. Pierce’s Stand
ard Medicines have outrivaled all others, Their sale
in the United States alone exceeds one million dollars
per annum, while the amount exported foots up to
several hundred thousand more. No business could
grow to such gigantio proportions and rest upon any
other basis than that of merit.

AN OPEN LETTER.
IT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
Bockfort, Mass., April 2, 1877.
Mr. Editor: Having read iu vour paper reports of
the remarkable cures of catarrh, I am induced to tell
“what I know about catarrh,” and I fancy the
“snuff” and “inhaling-tube” makers (mere dollar
grubbers) would be glad if they could emblazon a
similar cure iu the paporß. For twenty-six years I
suffered with catarrh. Tho nasal passages became
completely cloßod. “Snuff,” “dust,” “ashes," “in
haliug-tubes,’’ and “sticks,” wouldn’t work, though
at intervals I would sniff up the so-called catarrh
snuff, uutil I became a valuable tester for such med
icines. I gradually grew worse, and no one can
know how much I suffered or what a miserable being
I waa. My head ached over my eyeß so I was con
fined to my bed for many successive dayß, suffering
the most intense pain, which at one time lasted con
tinuously for 168 hours. All seuse of smell and taste
gone, sight and hearing impaired, body shrunken
and weakened, nervous system shattered, and consti
tution broken, and I was hawking and spitting
seven-eighths of the time. I prayed for death to re
lieve me of my suffering. A favorable notice in your
paper of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Bemedy induced me to
purchase a package, and use it with Dr. Pierce's
Nasal Douche, which applies the remedy by hydro
static pressure, the only way compatible with com
mon sense. Well, Mr. Editor, it did not cure me iu
three-fourths of a second, nor in one hour or month,
but in less than eight minutes 1 was relieved, and la
three months entirely cured, and have remained so
for over sixteen mouths. While using the Catarrh
Bemedy, I used Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov
ery to purify my blood and strengthen my stomach.
I ulso kept my liver active and bowels regular by the
use of liis Pleasant Purgative Pellets. If my expe
rience will induce other sufferers to seek the same
means of relief, this letter will have answered its
purpose. Yours truly, S. D. BEMICK.
