The Family Circle. Aunt Pennie* - - Editress. A BABY CARRIAGE IN THE HALL. A baby carriage in the hall. The happiest piece of furniture that any house can beast, always making an honorable exception in favor of the cradle. That baby carriage means a home. Without it, only r place to stay in. It means a “dear little dimpled darling”—that makes sunshine all the time —when it hasn’t got the colic. It means a happy mother, whose life is filled with all tender care all sweet responsibilities, all wonderful hope for the future. It means a father who holds bis head up among men with the grand est dignity that any man may know. To mother it is “Baby.” To father it is “My boy.” That baby carriage in the hall means all the wealth of rosy hours as mother sings lullably songs — perhaps, “Hush my dear, lie still and slumber, Holy angels guard thy bed. When all the time she is the an gel that God appointed to guard it, as none of high heavens host could do, It means a world of plans and pro jects which all center in that one life. It means a father that studies his bank balance with wonderful dili gence, for “My son must have a good education, and a good start in life,” you know. And he goes home and catches the laughing toddler up, and reddens the dimples with his whiskers, and then putting sturdy little twelve moth’s old on his feet, sets him at his a b c of walking, addressing him with comical dignity, “Well, Govers nor, where shall we go now ?” And although he only calls him “Governor,” the mother’s heart says aud the father wouldn’t deny it were she to put it in words—that more likely it will be President, in that dim, beautiful and certain future. Her choice, though, would be that he should be a good man a happy one. Between them both they parcel out for his manhood’s years all that makes life worth the living. That baby carriage in the hall means a good deal, does it not * It means everything to the father and mother. It means more than can be told. If you have such a piece of furnix tore in use you know all about it. If you haven’t it’s a waste of raw material to bother with you.— 'Wheel ing Leader. " STEPPING IN FATHER’S FOOT STEPS. One bright winter’s morning, after a snow storm, a father took his hat for a walk to attend to some farm affairs requiring his attention. As he started his little boy of five sum mers also snatched his hat, and sols lowed the father with mock dignity, and an assumed business-like air. When they reached the door, the gentleman noticed that no track or path-way had been made in the snow and he hesitated about letting his boy follow him. But the soft, fleecy snow looked so tempting, so pearly white, that he concluded to allow the child to walk after him. He took long and rapid strides through the untrodden snow, when, suddenly re membering his “little boy,” he paused, looked back for him, and ex claimed: “Well, my son, don’t you find it hard work to walk in this deep snow ?” “Oh ! no,” said the boy, “I’m coming: for, father, I step in all your tracks.” True enough, the dear child was planting his tiny feet just where the parent’s had trodden. The child's reply startled the father, as he res fleeted that thus would his child keep pace with him, and follow in his tracks through life. He was not a friend to Jesus, not a man of prayer and not a Christian; and well might he pause and tremble as he thought of bis child everstriving “to step in all of his tracks,’’ onward, onward, through-life’'; mysterious mazesand paythsc to words eternity ! 'BLe little- boys reply brought that strong stub born hearted man to think, when even the preached word of God made no impression upon him. Finally he repented, and sought, and found peace iu believing in Christ. We believe he is now making such tracks through life that at some day that son may be proud to say ; “Father, I step in all of your tracks”. —British Workman, A MANLY BOY. Mr. Thomas Hughes, author of Tom Brown’s School Days aud Tom Brown at Oxford, relates many an ecdotes of the boyhood of his manly brother George, a year older than himself. Many of the most noble traits of the boys'of whom the author wrote were first exhibited in his brother George. The two boys were sent to school at an early age, and before they had been there a week Georgo showed the find stuff he was made out of. His young brother’s class bad a less son in Greek history to get up, in which a part of the information com municated was that Cadmus was the first man “who carried letters from Asia to Greece.” When they came to bo examined, the master asked Thomas Hughes, “What was Cad mus ?” This mode of putting it puz zled the boy for a moment, when, suddenly- remembering the word “letters,” and in connection with it the man with the letter bag who used to bring his father's letters and pa pers, he shouted, “A postman, sir.’’ At first the master looked very an gry, but, seeing that the answer was given in perfect good faith, and that the answerer had sprung to his feet expecting promotion to the head of the class, he burst out laughing. Os course ail the boys joined in chorus, and when school was over Thomas was christened Cadmus. To this he would have made no great objection, but he kindled in his veins when the word was shortened into “Cad.” The angrier he grew, the more eagerly some of the boys perse cuted him with the hated nick name; especially one stupid fellow of twelve years or so, w 7 ho ought to have been two classes higher, and revenged himself for the degredation among the youngster by making their small lives as miserable as he could. A day or tw 7 o after, with two or three boys for audience, he shut up little Hughes in a corner of the play ground, and greeted him with the nick-name he knew to be so offensive “Cad, Cad,” until the boy’s wrath was beyond bounds. Suddenly a step was heard tearing down the gravel-walk, and George, in bis shirt sleeves, swept into the circle and sent the tyrant staggering back with a blow in the chest, and then, with clenched fists,bravely confronted him. Bullies are invariably cowards, and Thomas Hughes’ persecutor, though three years older, much heavier, and stronger than his assailant, did not dare to face him. He walked off, muttering and growling, much to the digust of the boys, who boy-like, bad hoped for “a jolly row;” while George returned to bis comrades, after look ing and saying “Just let me bear of any of you call my brother ‘Cad, again.” It is pleasant to relate that this manly, gallant-spirited fellow was a capital student. He rose from class to class until he reached the highest, amongst boys two years older than himself, aud in the competition for prizes was invariably successful. — Harper's Young People. A Low Voice— A good Quaker, eighty-five years of age, whom no one ever heard speak a cross word, was asked by a young man bow he had been able, through the trials and perplexities of a long life, to keep always so pleasant. He replied, “Dayton, if thee never allows thy voice to rise, thee won’t over be likely to get very angry.” Remember this, children, and try to keep your voices “soft and low.” A woman having read in a poem about a simoon that ‘swept the plains’ is urging her husband to get one of them new fangled things for her to use in the kitchen. These six—the peevish, the niggard the dissatisfied, the passionate, the suspicious, and those who live upon others’ are-forever unhappy. Our Little Folks. Aunt Fennie, - - Editress. Uncle Cate, - Associate Editor. DARE TO SAY “NO.” Dare to say ‘no’ when you’re tempted to drink, Pause for a moment, my bravo boy, and think — Think of the wrecks upon life’s ocean tossed For answering ‘yes,’ without counting the cost: Think of the mother who bore yon in pain; Think of the tears that will fall like the rain; Think of her heart, and how cruel the blow; Think of her love, and at once answer ‘no.’ Think of the hopes that arc drowned in the bowl: Think of the danger to body and soul; Think of sad lives, once as pure as the snow; Look at them now, and once answer ‘no. ’ Think of manhood with rum-tainted breath; Think of its end, and the terrible death; Think of the homes that, how shadowed with woe, Might have been heaven had the answer been ‘no.’ Think of the lone graves, both unwept and unknown, Hiding fond hopes that were fair as your own; Think of proud forms, now forever laid low, That still might be here had they learned to say ‘no.’ Think of the demon that links in the bow], Driving to ruin both body and soul; Think of all this as life’s journey you go, And when you’re assailed by the tempter say ‘no.’ TO THE CHILDREN. Dear Children Readers of the B. B : Other duties, such as holding pro tracted meetings, visiting associa tions, looking after things at home, etc., have been the reasons why I have not written you in the B. B. I must now write you a few lines. I can say I have not forgotten yon, though you may have forgotten me. I promised some three months ago that whosoever could truthfully re port by the 15th of December next, the greatest number of chapters read in the Bible or Testament, I would give a Christmas present, which would be a nice pocket Bible, and the amount read would have to be reported in the B. 8.. and by whom, and their post office. I hope many have been reading and studying your Bibles; and if any of you have been reading your Bibles for the prize, I wish some of you to intimate it by a letter to mo in the B. B. Ido this that others may be stimulated to read for the prize. Dear children, I have had some interesting meetings among the children. I have preached several times, and if our editor, Un cle Wood, will publish it, I will try to write one of my sermons for the children, to be published in the Ban ner, some time soon. Hope to hear from many of yon soon. I remain yours truly, Uncle Cate. NO ! “No !” Clear, sharp and ringing, with an emphasis which could not fail to arrest attention. “I don’t often hear such a nega tive as that,’’ remarked one gentles man to another, as they were passing a playground. “It is not often any one hears it. The boy who uttered it can say ‘yes,’ too, quite as emphatically. Ho is a new-comer here, an orphan, who lives with his uncle, about two miles off. He walks in every morning, bringing his lunch, and walks back at night. He works enough too, to pay his board; and does more toward run ning his uncle’s farm than the old man does himself. Ha is the coarss est dressed scholar in the school, aud the greatest favorite. Everybody knows just what to expect of him.’’ “Quite a character. I should like to see him. Boys of such sturdy make up are getting to be scarce, while the world never had more need of them than now.” “All this is true; and if you wish to see Ned, come this way.’’ They moved on a few steps, pauss ing by an open gate, near which a group of lads were discussing some exciting question. “It isn’t right, and I won't have anything to do with it. When I say no I mean it.” “Well, anyway, you needn't speak so loud and tell everybody about it.” was responded impatiently to this declaration. . “I’m willing everybody should bear what I’ve got to say about it. I won’t take anything that don't belong to me, and I won’t drink cider, anyway.” “Such a fuss abouta littlefun! It's jitst what we might have expected. You never go in for fun.” “I oeter go in for doing wrong. I told you no, for-to begin with. And you're the one to blame if there’s been any fuss.” “Ned Dunlap, I should like to see you a minute.” “Yes, sir.’’ And the boy removed his hat as Im passed through the gate and waited to hear wlffit Mr. Palmer might say to him. “Has your uncle aby apples to sell?” t !No, sir. He hiid some, but he lias sold theul. I've got two bushels that were iny share for picking Should you like to buy them, sir?” “Yes, if we can agree upon the price. Do you know just how much they are worth?” /‘Yes, sir.” “AH right, then, I will call for them and vou mav call at my house for the pay.” The short interview afforded the straiiger an opportunity to observe Ned Dunlap closely. The n< xt day a call was made at his uncles, and • although years had elapsed before he knew what a friend bo had gained, that day his fortune was assured. After he had grown to manhood and accepted a lucrative position, which was not of his seeking, he asked why it bad been offered him. “Because 1 knew you could say no’ if occasion required,” answered his employer. “ ‘No,’ was the first word I heard you .'•peak, and you spoke it with a will. More people old and young, are ruined for want of using that word than from any other cause. They don’t wish to do wrong, but they hesitate and parley until the tempter has them fast. The boy or girl who is not afraid to say ‘no’ is reasonably certain of making an honorable man or woman.” “Yes” is often a sweet and loving word. “No” is a strong, brave word, which has signaled the defeat of many a scheme for the ruin of some fair young life. — Temperance Ban-, ner. ii < FORTY-FOUR IN ONE.
