1'iLscrvation of the Natural Teeth A SPECIALITY.

A SON, NOT A SLATE. A room in the mansion of Mr. and Mrs. llcnjitmin JJounce, which had for years btU the light and joy of the household, was deserted, a small satchel Iii loci with triiles stood in the front hall, and Dan 1 .ounce, the adopted son of Mr. ami Mrs. Benjamiu Bounce, stood in the front door, resting Iiis head against the door post aad gazing down the road. Nineteen years before, Mr. and Mrs. Bounce, being childless and forlorn, adopted the child of a respectable but xx)r neighbor, and named hiiu Daniel. Every advantage of education and every indulgence which they would have bestowed on one of their own offspring was given to the adopted child; if they tailed to have exactly the same feelings toward him that people naturally have for their own, it never appeared in their treatment of him at least, in their public treatment of him. Vür will venture to say that Dan himself, a3 he stood looking down the road with anything but a completely kindly feeling teWNd his foster parents, would haw told you that ttom toe time as far back as lie could remember up to well, a quite recent date, he received nothing lull kindness, gem rt'sity and indulgence from those whom he had learned to call father ami mother. He had always leen allowed to choose his companions and entertain them at home when he pleased, and accept of their hospitality m i et urn. But one day not very long before the time when we see him in a position suggestive of an approaching farewell, he came suddenly to a point in his road f life where his mind and that of his benefactors took diverse waj i. lie had been attending school in the city, not far away, and during the lirst week of his attendance found himself every day taking the same route homeward with a pretty brunette of his school whom he rejH-aletlly overtook, and with whom it wits very agreeable to him to walk the little way which their routes lay together. He found it pleasant, and the source of absorbing after thoughts, to tarry at the gate in a few moments' chat each day. Pretty soon he found himself looking forward to with impatience, experiencing with blissful and yet painful confusion, and thinking of with a strange mixture of pleasure and uneasiness, these daily walks in the highway and parting chats at the gate. And 1 know you will believe me when I say it was not long befoie these meetings were anticipated by Dan by a walk in the dusk, a timid knock on the cottage door of Mr. Dale, and a call for Miss Mary Dale, into whose blushing presence he straiglrvvvay carried his yet nine scarlet lace. But these things in due time came to the ears of Mr. and Mrs. Bounce. Well, what of that? What of that! Why the deserted room in the Bounce mansion, the little satchel in the hall, and a young man sore grieved at heart standing in the door alone, is of that Dan never made a secret of his love (any farther than is always necessary to the very life of the tender passion), and he was as much surprised as you are more surprised than you, for Dan was young when his father and mother, who had been so indulgent in little things, now in the c.tse of this Brat great thing that had ever happened to him, entered their determined protest! Mary Dale was a laborer's daughter; Daniel Bounce wnsa gentleman's son; tho passion, or fancy, or w hatever it was, must lie put tin Jer foot at once. Such was the only reason given for tho objection, and let us pretend, for the present, that we believe it was the real reason. While this was all that Dan had to meet, he took to argument. But presently they reminded him of lus past and what he owed them, and Dan's mouth was sealed. Though the meanness of this thrust fired him with indignation, ami arguments in self-defence rushed to bfslipe, he was dumb. But he waauot idle, and straightway he sought his duty, and chose his course. He declined to give up his attachment to Mary Dale, whereupon his life-long benefactors told him he must forfeit theirj. Strange, he thought, that the lirst great joy that had come to him should be th' cause of Ins forfeiting all that he had known before. Strange that the only one desire that had ever taken sole control of his breast should li the only one which those whom he had learned to love had ever balked. Strange that his first visions of domestic bliss in a little home of his own making by and by, should be the reason for his packing his satchel to leave forever the only home he had ever known. Strange that the lirst dilTereuce he had ever had with his benefactors should be sufficient to set him, with little more of

this world's goods than he had brought with him nineteen years before, at the threshcld waiting to lie carried away, never to return. Strange that anything could force him to take his leave of cold hands and haughty eyes, and ride off into a strange world with nobody at the door to watch him out of sight. But all these things were true, and Dan pondered them, with a choking throat, as he rode on to the city. Dan went into a printing oilice in the city, and set at work to karn the trade of type-st tting. He pWVtd a ready learn, r, and hi due time earned good wages. Meanwhile he often retraced his former school-day footsteps towards Mr. Ddlfe One day Mr. 1J njaniin Bounce threw the evening paper to his wife, telling her to look at the marriage coin inn, w hich she did, and read aloud the following notice: "Da via Da lb: At the reference of the bride's parents, o.i the loth inst., by the Rev. Mr. Vestry, Daniel Davis and Mary Dale. No cards." "Well, goodl" exclaimed Mrs. Bounce, looking up from the paper, Dan didn't get her after all." ''Why yes, that's Dan. He's taken his own name. Like to know how ho found it out!" "You don't tell me!" said Mrs. Bounce. "Well! He's plucky, anyhow!" "He'll come down on his marrowbones yet," said Mr. Bounce. Mrs. Bounce looked as much as to say she hoped so, but she doubted it, nnd said nothing. The subject was dropped. Dan thrived in his business and was as hwppy as he had ever dreamed of Ix'ing with Mary. Benjamin Bounce could not help hearing this, though he would have liked to. Mis. Btunce found it hard, with all her inguisitiveness, to squeeze out the truth from him, but she got hold of an item novAind then which made her think. One Boning Mr. lkmiice was awakened out of his finishing nap by his wife calling: "Benjamin 0. Benjamin!" He started, and said: "Well, what's the matter, Bucy?" "I've been thinking about Dan since I've beta lying here, and have come to the conclusion that v;e were all wrong." "Pshaw ! His success troubles you." "No, what 1 mean has nothing to do with that. 1 see where we were selfish and jealous, when we thought we were only discreet. When we thought we le.ued Marv Dale's origin, we really feared her attachment for Dan would vi.il ours. If Dan had been really our son, we w ould have reasoned with him; but as we had raised him when under no obligations to do so, we felt that we had bought him thereby, and had a right to de nnd obedience in all things. We bore towards him more the feelings of a master than those of a parent he was less a son than a sli-.ve." Mr. Bounce only grunted at this, and fell to snoring again. Mr. Bounce thought of his wife's bright and early suggestions more than MM that day, yet he nevi r restored his will, and never called at Dan's, but the old gentleman has been in his grave even years now, and Mrs. Bounce often goes and plays grandmother to the two little Davises, and has made her will in favor .f Dan, Bounce or no Bounce. Rkrral Ume. The Soul's Progress. The spirt or soul of man knows itsell to be capable, 1 w ill not say of unlimited, but of continuous progress and development. However vigorous the tree or I he animal may be, it sooi reaches the ioiut when it can grow no more. The aiiiin.il may have done its best, it may have reached a high condition of strength and beauty, but w hen its limit is reached it can grow no more. With the soul of man as a living and thinking power it is far otherwise he has never exhausted himself. When the mar. of science lias made some noble di overy, when the literary m in has written a great book, when the statesman has carried a series of important measures, we cannot say that he has exhausted himself. The spiritual man is indeed dependent on the material man, and as the body moves oi toward decay and dissolution it extendi -01, if ihing of the iuQ lenceof its weakness and incapacity to its spiritual companion; but even then the soul resists this and asserts its separate existence; the mind of man knows that each separate effort, instead of exhausting his powers, tend lo strengthen them, and sy he will go on continually making larger and nobler and more vigorous efforts. So, too, is it with conscience and duty; with they tliere is no finality. One great act suggests another, one sacrifice makes another easier; the virtuous impulse in the soul is not like the growth in a tree a self-exhausting force but it is always moving on, always advancing. Pe not weary in well-doing'' this is the language ot the Ktei ml to the human w ill; but never is "Be not weary of growing" said to the tree or the animal, because organic matter differs 'from spirit in thfaS that it docs reach the limit of its activity and then turns backward towaids non-existence. Canon Liddon. According to a correspendent of the I'an.iiua Sl.tr and Herald, the glowing anticipations of ;i splendid yield of stiver from the abandoned mines of the Cerro de Pasco are not at all likely to be falsified. "These wonderful mines,'" he declares, "are destined to astonish the world with their productiveness, as soon as the machinery, already at hand, is placed in position." He adds that, from the reports of the engineers, the quantity of metallurgic earth which may be extracted, even before the submerged shafts are drained, woulo amount to over 200,000 tons, "which, giving six marks to the ton, would form a sum sufficient to place a nation, evci M wholly bankrupt as Paraguay, upon bei feet again."

The Snowdrop. The snowdrop is usually considered the first spring llower. The bulb is small, white, producing two or three narrow linear leaves, which are s tort at the time of flowering, but v Inch afterwards grow much longer; usually green, but often edged with yellow or white. The flower is solitary, nodding on a stem about four inches long, and possesses a delicate agreeable perfume. The bulbs are so small Ihey should never le planted singly, but always in clumps of thirty or more, or in triple rows. At first planting place the bulbs an inch and a half apart, and about two inches deep; they will soon grow together from offsets and frotn large clumps. The beds should be in the warmest, sunniest places, with clumps in other jarts of the garden, that a UCCesftkMI may be kept up; it is well to protect them during the winter hy a cove: ing oMwo or three inches of coarse straw or litter; they do not require this, for the bulb is very hardy, but the mora the frost is kept out of the ground the earlier will be tho spring bloom. John Kogers. Opt )site Newgate, in London, is St. Sepulchre's Church, ot which John Rogers, the Smithfleld martyr, was vicar. Many Americans visit the interior to see a gray gravestone "in the church choir, on the south side thereof," with an almost obliterated epitaph, which began, "Her' lies one conquered that has -compel "d kings!" for covers the leiir.ins of Captain John Smith (18f9-1081)i "sometime Governor of Virginia, and Admiral of New England," ami author of many works on the history of Virginia. The three Turks' heads which are tili visible on his shield of anus were granted by Sigi inuml. Duke of Transylvania, in honor of Smith's having in three single combats, overcome three Turks, and cut off the;-: ueads, in the wars of Hungary in 'Oiij A area N i took to his employer the first cloth woven since hi - arrival in this Country. Upon examination his employer detected two holes within half an inch of each other, and told him he must pay a line of a quarter for each tola "-Vn plaaa your honor," said Sandy, "is it thenuiiioer of holes or the size uv Vim that yez. put the fines on us?" "By the number of holes, to be sure, sir." "And a big hole und a little bole is the same price?" i'es, a quarter for every hole, big or little." "Then give me hould of the piece," said Sandy. It was handed to him, when with his lingers he deliberately tore the two

small holes into one, triumphantly ex

claiming: "Hy tin? pipes o' Moses, and that'll save me twenty-live cents." The good-natured employer laughed heartily j

at the odd experiment, and forgave Bandy the line. a ItarwirN Oririn of Species. In the year 188B there was published by Mr. Danria vork on "The Origin UpedsBl by Means of Natural Selection; or the Preservation of Favored Raatl in the Struggle for Life." In this, and in other subsequent works, it is shown that the individuals of each species tend to iucrease in a very rapid ratio; an increase more rapid than that of their nuans of subsistence. Each has. therefore, to contend with his competitors, and hence all must exhibit a "struggle for existence." Hut modifications are incessantly taking place in the MMa and characteristics of individuals, giving to some an advantage, to some a disadvantage, ns compared with their comietitois. Hence the former will prevail, the latter will succumb in the struggle. This, in the language of the hypothesis, is formulated as "the survival of the fittest." Darwinism, therefore, d es not touch the great question as to the manner in which variation of organisms arises. It only teaches how such variatioi are perpetuated. Forget and Forgive. We bury our youth, our health and our strength; and we only come togrief wbvn we try to resuicitate the dead and forget the chain of years that we have loi-ed between then and now. The Ipng walk, the day's hunting, CfaS night's dance, the cold bath, and the hail hour's swim, tho imprudent food, and the reckless exposure to the sun and the rain, the wind and the snowall these things are among tho buried dead of our possibbties, and wo must accept them as memories only, never again to be living facts. And why not bury the rcmeiubianeeot pastpains,paat enmities, of the quarrel that has been verbally made up, the offence once offered and since atoned for? Some people never bury these things. They say that they forgive, but they keep then dead displeasure, as the dwarfs kept Kosered's pretty body, with a glass window in the coffin, by which they could look in and vatch her whenever they chose. No; Uieru is no good in that. Collins with glasd windows in the mare a mistake. Let us bury the dead hmgs of life deep in goou honest soil, plant lowers on them, so that tho place where they lie shall not be barren nor

disfigured; make of each mistake, each I sail experience, a means for future good arid truth and beauty; and go on i .. i .. .... i a., .in ....... . . . , t.

uii hu v e wiim to me euu, w hen we ourselves shall be among the dead and buried, some of us remaining as beautiful remembrances, ever enshrined in honor and delight; some of us standing out in the backward vista, as but sorrowful mistakes, like blind creatures who have missed their way; or children of sorrow, brought up under the hard tutelage of pain, and never suffered to escape the hand of that stem teat her, that cruel monitor. Quctn. Worthy of Hote. Though Christ saw much in this world to weep over and very much to pray over, yet be never saw any thing to look upou with contempt.

How Scat Skins are Prawel. When taken o(T the skins are salb d, and sent home in that condition. On arrival they are properly cured, and then comes the preparation needed for their conversion into what is popularly called the "seal-skin." It is ddlicnlt to conceive how that beautiful article of dress can ever be manufactured out of the unattractive object the skin presents at this juncture. It is hard and unyielding as a board, and the slitT, coarse hairs cover the fur so completely lhatils very existence Bight be doubted. The pioblem to be solved is how to separate the hair from the under fur. For many years each individual hair was pi ticked out severally, at, of course, a great expenditure of time and money, until a lucky accident revealed to the draeaen that the roots of the hair were more deeply seated than the roots of the fur. Now, therefore, after prelimiaatf preparations, the skins are laid, hair downward, upon a vroodeu block w ith a curved surface, and pared down with knife until the roots of the hairs have lieeii cut through, and the skin is very Utile thicker than a kid glove. All the coarser hair am then be brushed oft with the hand, leaving the fur, which is then seen to be arranged in small curls of a light brown color. Varying slightly in shade in the parts. In consequence, nearly all the "seal-skin" is dyed before it is sold, and in the proeeai Of dyeing the curls untwist themselves, and the fur becomes smooth and ieady for use. - sa- -Bst - . No Idea of lhiia s. A reporter went to see the lady he is keeping company with Sunday evening. She met him at the door with a colorless face. "Oh, Tom!" she cried, in an agitated voice, "we have bad such a scare! Ma was coming down stairs and she caught her foot in the carpet and went the hall length " "Hold on!" shouted the excited youth, diving nervously into his hip pocket for his note-book, while he whipped out a pencil from another recess. "Now go on! go on, Matildal goon, but bo calm! F heaven's sake be calm! Kill her?" "Gracious, no!" uBreak her LaofcY Crush her skull? Be calm, be calm! For the sake of science, be calm!" " Why, Tom," gasped the girl, frightened by hi3 impetuosity, "it wasn't serious." It was " "Wasn't serious?" he gasped, in turn. "Do you mean to say she didn't break anything after all that fuss?" "Why, certainly not. She never hurt herself a bit." "Well," ejaculated the young mar. uith an expression of disgust on his face, as he sadly restored the book and pencil to their places, "that's all a woman knows about busiuess." Lkmbnry News. No man conceives what a woman will do or dare for him until he has surprised her nature by the largest abnegation of which his own is capable. Let him but venture the experiment, if he will lind himself vanquished by her m generosity to the end of the sweet warfare. Then first he knows what he has won; for then only does she suffer him to know. It is not not till then that reverence and surrender radically begin their life in her.

Nay, then he is the man, he only among men who understands what a woman's tenderness is. With her lie is a crowned creature; but with him she is a free one. ' aasp--Paa - Adventure with a Leopard. Two African fanners, returning from hunting the hartebeest, roused a leopard in a mountain ravine, and immediately gave chase to him. The leopard at first endeavored to escape by clambering up a precipice: but being hotly pressed, and wounded by a musket ball, he turned upon his pursuers with that frantic ferocity peculiar to this animal on such emergencies, and springing ou the man who had fired at him, tore him from his horse to the ground, biting him at the same time on the shoulder, and tearing one of his cheeks severely with his claws. The other hunter, seeing the danger of his comrade, sprang from his horse and attempted to shoot the leopard through the head; but, whether owing to trepidation, or the fear of wounding his friend, or the quick motions of the animal, he unfortunately missed. The leopard, abandoning his prostrate enemy, darted with redoubled fury upon his second antagonist, and so fierce and sudden was his onset, that before the boor could stab him Wit! his hunting-knife, the savage beast struck him ou the head with his claws, and actually tore the scalp over his eyes. In this frightful condition the hunter grappled with the leopard, and struggling for life, they rolled together down a steep declivity. Before the man w ho had been first attacked could start to his feet ai d seize his gun, they had fallen together down the bank. In a moment he had reloaded his gun, and rushed forward to save the life of his friend. Hut it was too late. The leopard had seized the unfortunate man by Iiis throat, and his comrade had only the satisfaction of completing the destruction of the beast, already exhausted with the loss of blood from several deep wounds by the knife of the expiring huntsman. Penny Magazine,. SSBSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSMSSMIM A young man went into a barber shop the other day and demanded a shave. The tonsorial artist submerged his customer's countenance in a bed of lather, ami theu.went to the window, sat down and bpgtn reading a newspaper. Fifteen minutes passed by. "Here," demanded the impatient man in the big chair, "why ain't you shaving me? What in thunder are you doing?" Calmly spoke the barlier not looking up from Ins paper, "Waitin' foh de beard to grow, sah!" And then a white faced, unshaven man rose up and leaned over the wash basin, while a cauUous barber arose and went hastily out into the street.

Work for the Boys. Cigar boxes are among those things which, like tin cans when empty, are usually thrown away. The Internal Revenue laws forbid their use for cigars a second time, or their sale in an unbroken state by dealers. A few of them are utilized as boxes for which all the feminine world and part of the masculine has mote or less fancy. Covered with pictures or painted, they serve as toilet boxes or for dolls" trunkscushioned, they make still better toilet receptacles. In point of fact, however, the wood of which the boxes are made is prettier than anything with which it can be covered. This is either unpolished mahogany or Spanish cedar, and needs only patient rubbing with sandpaper and oiling to shine forth in all its beauty. Patience, time and some ingenuity are the chief requisites for the work, which may be tun.ei to account in many ways. The deep, square boxes, holding a hundred cigars, answer for flower-pot covers; the long flat ones with the same capacity, for glove boxes, knife baskets, dc, while other sizes are useful for various purposes which an inventive mind will readily suggest. The first step is to remove all paper from the box, inside and out. If tire branding is too deep to be removed by sand-paier, the n:wls may be drawn, and Uie branded board turned with the clean side out After the wood is polished, it may be embroidered in any rectangular pattern, with stars, flowers, Greek key, or anything else for which the stitches can be taken iu straight lines. To do this, trace the pattern in pencil on the wood and with an awl bore a hole at each angle of ta ; pattern. Then, with a darning-needla threaded with worsted, work by passing the needle back and forth from one hole to another. Decalcomania pictures furnish another pretty means of ornamentation. Toilet boxes should be lined with velvet or velveteen. Feet for the boxes can be made of brass buttons, or large-headed brass tacks, fastened one at each corner on the bottom of the box. For a knife basket two long flat boxes are required, placed side by side and fastened together, the handle being either of wood or of card ptissed through holes in the centre piece. Line the box with flannel, pasted smoothly in after having decorated the outside and set on the feet. For such a box elaborate ornaments is unnecessary, and a narrow strip of velvet ribbon, the color of the lining, fastened along the edges with gilt tacks, is as pretty as any which can be used. If the box is meant for a present, put in addition the monogiain or the last initial of the person to whom it is to be given on one side of the basket. The split boxes may be used for picture frames or for making many small fancy articles match boxes, ink stands (a vial holding the ink), card racks, etc., among the number.

(jrood Bread. With good flour, a good oven, and a good, sensible, interested cook, we can be pretty sure of good, wholesome bread. Yeast bread is considered the standard bread, and is, perhaps, more generally found on every table than any other kind. Hence it is important to know how to make good, sweet, wholesome yeast bread. Good flour is the first indispensable, then good, lively yeast, either yeast cakes or bottled; the former is preferable in all respects. Then, of course, there must be the proper materials to work with. A bread bowl or pan the pan is easiest kept clean, a stone or earthen jar for setting the sponge; a sieve flour should always bo silted before making bread of any kind; first, to be sure that it is perfectly clean; second, sifting enlivens and aerates the flour, and makes both mixing and rising easier and quicker; a clean, white cloth to cover the dough of even temperature while rising; baking pans, large and shallow, a large, strong spoon for stin ing, and a little melted suet or fresh butter, '.or oiling the pans; never use poor butter. If you want shortening, rich milk or cream scalded and cooled will answer the purpose, and be most wholesome. But thorough kneading is better still, and should always be done effectually. Scalding a portion of the flour makes a sweeter bread and speeds the work. Water, milk or buttermilk may be poured boiling hot on a quart or two of the flour, stirring well, and cooling to a moderate temperature before adding the yeast this makes the sponge. Scalded flour makes a little darker bread, unless we use buttermilk, which makes a rich, creamy, white bread. Yeast is fermented flour or meal the first stages of decomposition or decay. Understanding this, every baker will comprehend the necessity of regulating the extent of the fermentation with the greatest care; for a sinnige of bread iennented or "raised" too long is decomposing, spoiling actually rotting! This is the language of an experienced English baker to us only a few days ago during a talk about the delicate foamy loaves "feasted to death," which so many families are eating and calling "the staff of life," quite discarding the firm, sweet, substantial, home-made loaf which our mothers and grandmothers kneaded with their own skilled hands. Bread making should stand at the head of domestic accomplishments, since the health and happiness of the family depend incalculably upon good bread; there comes a time in every true, thoughtful woman's experience, when she is glad she can make nice, sweet loaves, free from soda, alum, and other injurious ingredients, or earnestly regrets that she neglected or was so unfortunate as not to have been taught at least what are called the requisites of good bread-making.

A chair, in which it is believed Shakespeare usually sat while writing, was lately sold at auction in England for 45.

Miscellaneous. The secret of happiness stop thinking about yourself. An hour In the morning is worth two in the afternoon. He that would enjoy the fruit must not gather the flower. A man is more faithful and true to another person's secret than his own; a woman, on the contrary, keeps her own secret better than another's. A little boy was asked the other day if he knew where the wicked finally went to. He answered: "They practice law here a spell and Uien go to the legislature." The New York World asks, "Of what use are the legs of a pair of trousers below the k n eeV" Not much we confess; but the trouble can be remedied by putting on a pair of suspenders and hauling them up w here thev belong. Longfellow as a boy was, according to the late J. S. C. Abbot, tlse pattern of the man Longfellow very ha:idsome, always well-dressed, with no taste for any but refined pleasure. Frank Pierce was the most popular youth at college, falviu Ktowe was the wag of I'.owd in; Hawthorne never uttered a loud Wvrd r laugh while iu college. Here is a clever mot by Dumas, at the expense of a young man who couldn't write anything but obtained great vogue by haunting literary reunions and assiduously cultivating the soeiety of artists. Said Dumas: "He is a newspaper wrapper that thinks itself Journalism." The value of Uie ore reduced and marketed in the Black Hills in 1817 is estimated at $,5U),0U0. The yield of the placer claims has been less than last year, and will not probably exceed $1,000,000. This makes the total product of Uie Black Hills for 1ST7 about oue-lourth as much as that of Colorado. The coast at the Port Said mouth of the Suez canal is advancing outward at a rapid rate, estimated at fifty yards per annum a truly alarming statement, which, if only half correct, will involve extensive dredging operations every year. The general level of the Mediterranean is said to have fallen about four in lies since the canal has been opened. JJ.

In a Connecticut district school a boy six years old was seen to whisper, but denied doing so when reproved by his teacher. He was tohi to re main alter school, when Uie teacher trying to impress upon his youthful mind the sinfulness of not speaking the truth, asked him if they did not tell him in Sunday school where bad boys went who told falsehoods. Chocking with sobs he said: "Yes, mann, it i? a place where there is a fire, but I don't just remember the name of the town. " A little girl ageJ about three years, was taught to pray by her mother, who however, could not induce the child to kneel. The infant was willing to pray, but not to bow the knee. The other morning the familj heard the little inil say: "Please, (iod, send me down a rabbit?" No answer was vouchsafed, lad the child continued: "Did you hear vhat I said? Why don't you answer? Another pause, when the child spoke up spunkily; "Oh, I know what you want. You want me to gi on my knees, but 1 won't,'' Before she could utter Uie "Where have you been till this hour of the morning, anyhow?" which was trembling on her lips, he said, "Bin tHher tnind-readin'; bet you $7 I can read yer mind this very minnit." "Well, you old fool, what am I thinking of now?"' she said in a tone of sadness. "Thinkin' of I Why, I can read yer mind like ther open pages of 'er book; yer thinkin' I'm drunken r a biled owl, but yer never was worse fooled in yer life."

has been lifted out of debasing sins

against which he has vainly struggled

by coming to know and love a pure,

sweet, woman. It is Uie sight of em

bodied goodness that makes us want

to be good. Many a mother by the quiet usefulness of her life fills her

children with a desire to be like her,

that makes them in their turn unselfish. There are obscure men and women who hardly in their lives utter a word ot
