Methodist Advocate. Atlanta, Ga., June 12, 1878. Tsrms : $2 a year, invariably in advance. Brother, will you help us to get 1,000 more $1 subscribers for six months? “ 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. —Northern Advocate. 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.” Atlanta Business Directory. * Attorneys!

Pierce’s Standard 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. UR. SAGE’S Catarrh Remedy Is pleasant to Use. UR.

SAGE’S Catarrh Remedy Cures “Cold in Head” and Catarrh, or Ozoena. 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. A CLOUD OF WITNESSES.
