un necessary sorrow we sr.v na oc spared ana how great would bo r gain in happi- - ncss : Home and familv i . raturally ciake up - the greater half ot wo: i va 'a existence. Of j r those who have to go out Into the world to seek their own furtur.es and make their own j livelihood, the propc1 tion is as yet, happily, f not the larger. To them, indeed, the doctrine of the silver lining is of all most sadly needed as a true and living faith. "When f they find the battle of life almost more than they can wage, when wounded, sore, beaten str 'ggle for existence which ha3 to be made by them against the opponents of so much y greater force, they cry aloud in fear and - .give themgelvea up to the unbelief of desnair whr &httll Vilumo tbom? Trwr handed sisters, hustled here and there by stalwart men with their weak ones to protect, how can they fail to fear? And yet even to them come3 the sweet doctrine of hope, of realization through endeavor, and of the peace of to-morrow after the turmoil of to-day. And after all, which ia worse to bear the active troubles of lifo "or the gnawing pain, the corroding rust of sloth? Looking at things honestly, resolute to deny plea-ant fallacies and to sea human life as it is, we are forced to acknowledge that a middle-class house, where there are many girla treading on each other heels, too well oif to make work for money a necessity, yet not sufficiently rich to make cootlv pleasure the only occupation, is often

;not the most peaceful or happy. Sisters as they are, their personal interesU are apt to jlash and their temners do not alwava har

monize. If they live in the country there is '.-an absence ot ail stirrirrg excitement, and they have no occupation which takes them y out of themselves or which lifts them above

l ' the petty event of a restricted society. They get tired f the foolish little bits of

t & thing to be rather ashamed of than encouraged. They hammer on the lower ' tracks of school-girl art till they themselves ' get weary of their false perspective, their ?tnudly coloring, and those new pieces of muiic which they know they do not render properly and they slur over all the difficult passage. They read the lighter books of their local Landing Society, but they scarcely glanc a at the graver and heavier, and think it a shame that they should be introduced at alL They are standing aside from the crowded thoroughfares of life and are out of the rapid currents of pleasure and excitement, and they know that they . aro waiting . for the chance of farriage ; whether they like to 'confess it or not, they know that this ia the fcecret truth, and that if they do not marry there ü nothing for them but a long and

gradual descent into old age through the dreary paths of monotony, restriction and suppression. Thia is the cloud which hangs over many a householh; where the girls abound, fortunes are moderate, and lovers willing to undertake a ready-made family of five or six sisters are as rare us so many black swans and as shy as the marmots on thehilUides. "What are they to do? They are young, good-looking, with natural a'nVctious and well principled. They have in them possibilities of happiness which reem as if they would never blossom into actualities. They would make good wives, good mothers, good mistresses of a house all round; yet years elide on-and see them pa?s lrom their first

lreh youth into the zenith of their maturity, and then to that day when the peach has hung too long on the wall, and has gone over from mellowness to decay. And during all this time they have done nothing and learned no'.hing, tave perhaps that sad leeson of resignation to enduring meloncholy and discontent which is half the sorrow of their state. Vhat are they to do? Where lies the silver lining to their cloud? Where it lies for all of us, in work and duty work which supplies so much interest as makes for us that kind of second self which is the main charm f love; duty which shall take us out of the narrow f phere of our own individual interests only, and unite us to the ereat body of humanity. It can be done. Materials are never wanting, only the will to seek and the power to use when found. Wherever there are the poor, the, ignorant and the sorrowful, there is work lying to the hands of all women with leisure. , "Motherhood, a Poem." . . Womma'a Journal. I would call the attention of every thoughtful mother, and indeed of every one who has ever bowed in reverence before the deepest mysteries of life, to this book. It comes nearer than anything I havo ever seen to putting into words a clas-s of emotions hitherto almost unexpressed in song; the emotions of a reverential and devout mother before and after the bi:th of her child. Pictoral art has striven to portray thce high and pure faeiing?; perhaps there i hardly a phase of thought in this book but might find its answering expression in the work of some great medieval artist; but literature hft3 avoided these experiences, as too profound and mysterious to be rendered, so that there are no pema which really correspond to the "Annunciation"' and "Assumptions" of art. But in this little book a woman, rarely gifted by nature and traininp, attempts to utter in words what Krancia and Iiaphael put on canvass. The little volume opens with a poem called ''The Hope" giving in its very first verse tue key-note of the book. "Mjtterimis ioy jTTsd-'s me; from my pillow 1 ritte to look out o the Inrry uiidit: And dreams ttoHt in upon it injutic billow.

Th-!i follow '-The Prophecy," the ' Hail 3Iarvr and a profoundly beautiful "Ilvmn of Motherhood," which opens thus "O beautiful new lifo within my bnaooi, N'w life, love-born, more bfaniiful thn dxr, I tremb'e in thy renc,, kuottin; W'bmt holy miraclR ntlMifH my way.

Now comes the great secret of a boiled batter pudding; the potful of boiling water in which the pudding-pan is placed must not be touched or moved until tho pudding is done. It takes exactly an hour to cook. If moved or jarrod so that the pudding-can oscillates against the fides of the pot the pudding inevitably falls and comes out as heavy as lead. The pot must be put on the spot on the stove or range on which it can stay until the expiration of the hour, and sufficient water must be put in it at the start so that it need not be refilled or added to. These direc tions exactly followed, you have a batter pudding of all puddings the most delicate and delicious. Mip it out or the can on a hot dish and Serve with wine sauce.

Some of the most important inventions have been the work of mere boyg. The invention of the valve motion to the steam engine was made by a boy. "Watts left the engine in a very incomplete condition, from the fact.that he had no way to open or close the valves, ex?ept bv means of levers operated by the hand, lie sat up a laro engine at one of the mines, and a boy was hired to work these valve levers; although this was not hard work, yet it required his constant attention. As he was working' these levers, ho taw that parts of the engine moved in the right direction and at the exact time that he had to open or close the valves, lie procured a strong cord atd made one end fast to the proper part of tho engine, and the other end to tho valve leaver; the boy had the satisfaction of seeing the engine move with a perlect regularity of motion. A short time after, the foreman came around saw the boy playing marbles :it the door. Looking at the engine he soon saw the ingenuity of the boy, and also the advantage of to great an invention. Mr. Watts thencarried out the bov's inven tive genius in a practical form, and made the steam engine a perlect automatic working machine. The power loom is tho invention of :t furmer boy who had never seen or heard of such a thing, lie whittled one out with his jack-knife, and after he had got it all done, he, with great enthusiasm, showed it to his father, who kicked it all to pieces saying, he would have no boy about him that would 8nend his time on such foolish thins. The boy gathered up the pieces and laid them away. Soon after that his father bound him out as an apprentice to a blacksmith, about twelve miles from home. J he boy was aelighted at the idea of learing a trade, and he soon found that his new master was kind and took a lively interest in him. lie had made a loom of what wa3 left of the one his father had broken up, which be showed to his master. The blacksmith saw he had no common boy as an apprentice, and that the invention was a very valuable one. lie had a loom constructed under the supervision of the boy; it worked to their perlect satis faction, and the blacksmith furnished the means to manufacture the looms, and the boy was to receive one-half the profits. In about a year the blacksmith wrote the boy's father he would be at his home at a given time and should bring with him a wealthy gentleman who was tho inventor of the cel ebrated power loom. You may be able to iudze ot the astonishment at the old home when his son was presented to him as the inventor, who told him that his loom was the same as the model that he had kicked to piecca but a year before. TUe History of the Patron Saint of tiood . .'Children. Santa Claus is wonderfully popular just now. His name is in the mouths of all the little folks; sundiy queer epistles are indicted to him, beseeching a remembrance in the shape of a' doll, ä rocking horse, a trumpet. or some much desired toy. Possessed of boundless resources is Santa Claus, in the belief of childhood: a charming varietv of mysterious eifis is at his disposal: and more than that, he has an enviable reputation of liking to make the little people happy. Never was "a saint more extensively popular. The history of Santa Claus a curious mixture of truth and fable goes far back into tho ancient time. Centuries ago a child wa3 born in Asia Minor who received the name of. Nicholas. His parents were wealthy and of high rank; and desiring to express their gratitude to (lod for the birth of their son, they resolved to educate him for Christian priesthood. The child was sober and thoughtful, and wbHe yet young both his parents died, and he inherited their great wealth, lie considered the riches a sacred trust; he fed tho hungry, he clothed the destitute, and performed all kinds of good deeds as secretly as possible. A3 a priest he was greatly beloved; as a bishop he continued Lis benevolence; after his death the Church canonized him, and he became one of the greatest of patron 6aints, being revered as the helper of tho poor, tho protector of the weak and as the especial patron saint of little children, who were taught to believe that theirgood gifts came from him. Saint Nicholas was the name given him by the monks, and this was familiarly changed to Santa Nic'laua and finally clipped down to Santa Claus, who is still represented as retaining his old habits of secret benevolence and coming down the chimney at night, laden with Christmas presents for children. A pleasant fiction it is to them, under the cover of which that charming secrosy concerning the donors of gifts is kept up, though little eyes and ears and minds are keen, and Santa Claus is usually very well known to them as a much mere modern personage than old St. Nicholas. 15 ut the children enjoy the harmless pretense, the mysterious filling of stockings, and the heavily laden Christmas tree.

"Time enough for that, dad," exclaimed the graceless rascal, lighting a fresh cigar ; 't is never too bite to mend, you know, dad." A little girl about four years old and a little boy about six had been cautioned not to take away the nest egg: but one morning when they went for the egg the little girl took it and started for the house.

"What is hell?" asked a Luthren Sundayschool tea :her of a boy in class last Sunday. A shirt witli a button off, ma'am,"' replied the boy. ''Explain yourself; what do you mean, eir?" demanded the meek-pirited but surprised teacher. ''Well, I heard my Fasay to my 31a the other morning, when he put on a shirt with the back button off. Well, this is hell.' That's all I know about it." A little six-year-old boy in Natchez Miss., had been listening to remarks ot a legal-minded uncle in regard to the prospect of an indicted person getting clear by securing a continuance of his case from time to time. Shortly after the little fellow got into a scrape, which secured for him trom his mother a promise of a little dose of slipper at an early period, lie anxiously sought his uncle for advice on the subject, but could get sympathy only, with no prospet of relief. Finally, said tho youngster: "Uncle, don't you think you could get mother to continue the cae? If we could gft & continuance I think I could get off." lie got elf. RELIGIOUS UlKs Al INCIDENTS. In the revised Directory of Worship of the Southern Fresbyterian Church fasting is dropped overboard and no provision is made for any day of thanksgiving. Such festivals as Christmas remain unnoticed, as the Presbyterians never took any official or ecclesiastical notice of them. The woman wno went to Church with one bonnet thoughtlessly stuck on top of another had tho honor of being envied by all the other women in the sanctuarv. They thought it was a new and charming style of bonnet, and spent their time in such earnest wonder as to bow it was planned and where it was made, that they forgot to listen to the sermon, or even to the exercises of the choir. There is a gloomy sort of mystery enshrouding ths movements of Kev." 31 r. Maryland, who was suddenly- missed from his Connecticut home a few weeks ago. Having turned up in Bingbamton and written to his friends that he ''had a good job" there, and that he would return in a few days, he still remains at Birghamton, and his wife has gone there to see what the nature of the 'job" is. Before his sudden departure Mr. Maryland was highly esteemed, and was not thought to have any such queer streaks in his character as this eccentric movement has developed. A Christian woman in Boston who was formerly in good circumstances, is reported to be making shirts and clothing for a large firm, the members of which aro Church memliers. For tho sewing on a lady s ulster she receives one dime. For a shirt with six buttonholes and gussets the price is seven cents, and for lined flannel shirts eight cents. It was not a very "Merry Christmas" with th'i3 woman, as she had to work far into the night to earn enough to keep body and soul together. The good people who buy the garments made by this woman and "other toilers of her class exult over the bargains they secure, and tell each other where they can get such things for the lowest cent. The pocket of Rev. Mr Van Meter was picked of a $5,000 draft while he was seasick on a steamboat crassing from En. gland to France. The passage was a very rough one, and Mr. Van Meter's experience was quite as rough. When he came to himself, he had a recollection as if of a dream. He could not tell who was the drawer of the draft, nor what house it was drawn on. He has therefore issued a circular to his legion of friends, asking for 500 subscriptions to enable him to get another draft just as good as the one he lost. Some people say that Brother Van Meter is telling fables; but he declares he will substantiate the truth of his statement and prove that he really had such a draft in his pocket. Hurrah! For Our Side. Many people have lost their interest i it politics and in amusements because they are so out of sorts and run down that they can not enjoy anything. If such persons would only be wise enough to try that celebrated remedy Kidney-Wort, and exierience its tonic and renovating effects they would soon be hurrahing with the loudest. In either dry or liquid form it is a perfect remedy for torpid liver, kidneys or bowels Exchange. UNLIKE PILLS Aad the aaal PargatlTea, Is plcasaat to take.
