That’s what Adolphus and I ride. You don’t have any responsibility, and you go ever so much farther and faster, and you don’t get nearly so tired. Have to do your share of the work? Oh, yes! Certainly. That’s only fair. But, of course, you expect your husband to do just a little more. Going up hill, for example, you needn’t pedal unless you like. He’ll never notice. And when you’re getting tired coming home, you can take a rest and let him work it. Men don’t feel it, you know; they’re, so much stornger. There’s nothing like a tandem. It leaves you so free to enjoy yourself and look at the scenery. , Mr. Golightly (to Mr. a tandem! Good gracious, no! Whatever put such a notion into your head? My dear fellow, you’re mad to think of it! Why do I? Well, I can’t get out of it now I’ve started, but if I had to begin again—why, I'wouldn’t, that’s fiat! You have all the responsibility, and. don’t go nearly as fast or as far as on a single, and you get twice the fag. The lady does some of the work? Oh, yes! Certainly. But she expects the gentleman to do a good bit more. Going up hill, for example, she rarely touches the pedals. She .thinks you don’t notice it. Twelve stone odds Laura weighs. Then just when you’re done up, the lady will feel tired and let you do all the work. You’ve no chance to enjoy the scenery or anything. So whatever you do, my boy, don’t you have a tandem! Mr. George Washington—Of.course c single bike’s better than nothing; but, if you want to spin along and enjoy yourself, you should have a tandem. I told you about Brown and' myself going to Kidd-leham in just over two hours, didn’t I—a matter of 71 mites? Ah, I thought so! And-about our beating the record to Brighton? You didn’t believe it. That’s where it is! It’s no use telling you fellows anything. You think everyone exaggerates like you do. Anything fresh? Well, yes; But you’d never credit it, so what’s the use of telling you? It was rather peculiar. I don’t know that* I should believe it myself, if anyone else’told me. (Puffs medit a timely af his cigar.) Out with it? Well, it’s a serious matter, really —deuced serious—and if you play any larks or make game, I shall shut up, remember. Poor old Flyer! (Takefc a long drink and shakes his head solemnly.) You knew poor old Flyer, who held all the records for a couple of years? A good sort, but rather peculiar. He always wanted to break the tandem records, but he couldn’t get a partner who was fast enough for him. It was before I took to racing, don’t you know. Many’s the time he’s said to me: “Washington, my boy, if you would ride with me—” Look here, if you fellows don’t stop making faces, I shall dry r up. When he broke his neck in the hundred mile race, his people asked' me to ace< his tandem, and I didn’t like to hurt their feelings by refusing. somehow, I couldn’t feel that anyone I knew was class enough to take poor Elver’s excuse me, boys, hut he was a rider, jou know —so it was a long time before! rode it; but last night I thought I’d take ft out by mysflf. When I got on, I was astonidicd to find how easily it went; I scarcely had to touch it. So I went further than I intended, till at last I eame to Boxley, where they’ve built that new track. Then I thought it was time to go back home, but I’m hanged If the machine would turn, and though 1 1 ried to back pedal, I couldn’t stop it. in a few momenta we. ran right up to the private entrance, and the caretaker just touched his hat, and we ran on to the track. “Why, I thought he was done for!” I heard him say to his mate, and my hair stood right on end. Eor I knew that old Flyer’s ghost was riding behind me! If you fellows think th is is &, laughing matter, I don t. Well, we ran on to the track just as the clock struck eight, and round we commenced to go. The caretaker and his pal came and leaned on the rail *nd watched us, and I heard one of them say: “They’re going at the onehoar record, like he said he would

when he got his mate.” So I thought that ghost or no ghost, Td do my beat for lum. When I put my back into it, round we went, faster and faster, and the place seemed to fly by. I never saw anything like it, and I don’t sup- £?** \ ever shalL A “other whisky? Well, I don’t mind if I do. To make a long story short, we went round 156 times and a bit—four laps to the mile, mind I —by the time the clock struck nine. Then the caretaker and his friends clapped their hands, and off we went. When we got outside I put up my feet and rested, and let the machine go by itself, and—. Look here, if you fellows are going to throw things, I’m off! f Mrs. Worldleigh—Annie engaged to young Rich? Well, my dear, I don’t mind telling you—yes. Avery suitable match for her, don’t you think? W’e’re all very pleased. How fortunate lam with all my girls so nicely settled? Ye es; I suppose 1 ought to think so. But, between you and me* Fanny, I know that “fortunate” is exactly the word. It’s management, my dear, management! That’s what it is. What do I mean? Well—speaking between friends, you know—it’s the tandem. If you would only get a good one, you would have both your girls off your hands in no time. You see, everybody cycles nowadays, and lots of young fellows are anxious to try a tandem, though they mayn’t care to get one just for themselves. Soyou let them take your girls out—the right fellow and the right girl, of course — and the thing’s done. You see, they can’t fall out and ride different ways, or go off with the wrong person, or any foolishness of that sort. They have to keep together. ' But Mary Smith got engaged to young Thriftless through going on a tandem? Then her mother ought to be ashamed of herself. You don’t catch any young Thriftlesses on my tandem! ’Arry’s Donah—’Ow’s ’Arry? You’d better go an’ harsk ’im yerself. Hi dunno; an’ don’t care, neither. Wot’s the matter? Wy, me an’ ’irn’s ’ad words, an’ we ain’t keepin’ company no more. Hanythink else you’d like to know? Wot was it abart? Wy, it wasn’t nothink much. It was over riding tandem, wot I never did ’old with, an’ you don’t ketch me doin’ it no more. Fell hors? Os course we did; but it wasn’t that. We didn’t git hon; that’s wy we fell hout! It was like this ’ere. Last Friday ’Arry comes along to our placeman' sez to me: “Wot ho, ole gal! Wot cher say to going down to Applnton on a tandem to-morrer?” “Hall right, ’Arry,” I sez { “Hime on.” So e’ ’ired a machine, an’ darn we went. Darn where? Well, fust it wos darn in the road. ’Arry can’t steer for nuts, I tell you strite. Right into ole Cabbage’s moke ’e went, an’ pitched me clean in the cart. “Look ’ere, ’Arry,” I sez, “if that’s the wajr yer steer, hile come in front.” An’ I did. Then ’Arry wobbled abart so that I couldn’t keep him strite, an’ we run into a hold gent,wot was very unpleasant. So ’e tikes the front seat,

"MEN DON’T FEED IT, YOU KNOW.”

an’ runs into a dorg, an’ hors we went agin an’ bent the machine cruel. ’Qwever, ’e striteneg it a bit with a poker ’e borrered, an’ then we went on orl right. An’ when we got to ’Appinton we put up the tandem, an’ ’ad a good time with another young lydy an’ ’er chap wot we met, an’ agreed we’d ride ’ome part of the wy together. When we was gqin’ back, it was gettin’ dark, an’ ’Arry sez to me: “Look ’ere, ’Arriet, we’l let them see wot we can do. Let’s git ors sharp, ’un show ’em." So we ’ad a little more refreshment, an’ out we goes; but they sees us goin’, and rushes out, too. An’ somehow, cornin’ out of the bar into the dark, we got mixed. I see ’Arry, as I thought, in ’is brown coat fin’ knickers, genin’ on ’is tandem, wot I knowed by its ben( bars, an’ up I jumps be’ind. “Go it, ’Arry,” I whispers, an’ ’e just grunts, an’ we did go, I tell yer! We ’ardly spoke tUI we got to Bloom road, an’ then *e turned the wrong way. “.’Old ’ard, mate,” I sez; “where yer goin’?” But *e sez nothink, on’ on we went, me wonderin’ wot ’e was at. “You ain’t goin’ to the bother side of London, are yer?” I sez, very sarcastic. Then ’e slows, ah’ looks rounds an* it wasn't ’Arry, hni the other bloke! "Well, hime blowed!” e’ sez; an’ I sez—well, I wasn't very perlite. Knowin’ ’Arry would be that savage. Bat’rsJly I was wild.--Any’ow, that bloke kidded me to let *im put me darn at Bell lane, an’ Vd take the’tandem to the shop. An’ I went "ome; and in comes 'Arry, fair mad. “Well. ’Arry,” I sez, “’ere’s a go. I though it was you, I tell yon atritel” But 'Arry just glares a£ me, an’ “Wnere’s the machine?” ’e sez. Wen I told ’im, ors be rushed to the shop. An* that ’ere tandem never came back, an’ ’Arry ’ad to py for it, an’— well, that’s *ow me an’ *lm ’*4, word*!”—St. Paal’a.

THE FAMILY RECORD. ye—- ■*/ f * The Effect of Parental Influence on Generations to Come. ————— , Bt. Ur. talmas* Declares that th* Seed Planted la th* Child Will U*rmlaat* and Bear Fruit In Coming Generations. In the following discourse Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage pictures parental influence and its effect on children’s children. The text is: The unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first Sn thy grandmother Lois. —11. Timoth, i., 5. In this pastoral letter which Paul, the old minister, is writing to Timothy, the young minister, the family record is brought out. Paul practically says: “Timothy, what a good grandmother you had! You ought to be better than most folks, because not only was your mother good, but your grandmother was also good. Two preceding generations of piety ought to give you a mighty push in the right direction. ’’The fact was that Timothy needed encouragement. lie was in poor health, having a weak stomach, and was a dyspeptic, and Paul prescribed for him a tonic, “a little wine for thy stomach’s sake”—not much wine; but a little wine, and only SB medicine. And if the wine (hen had been as much adulterated with logwood and strychnine as our modern wines, he would not have prescribed any. f But Timothy, not strong physically, is encouraged spiritually by the recital *of grandmotherly excellence, Paul hinting to him, as I hint this day to you, that God sometimes gathers up as in a reservoir, away back of the active generations of to-day, a goodly influence, and then, in response to prayer, lets down the power upon children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The world is woefully in want of u table of statistics in regard to what is the protractedness and immensity of influence of one good >voman in the church and world. We have accounts of how much evil lias been wrought by a woman who lived nearly 100 years ago, and of how many criminals her descendants furnished the penitentiary and the gallows, and how many hundreds of thousands of dollars they cost our country in their arraignment and prison support, as well as in the property they burglarized und destroyed, will not someone come, out with brain comprehensive enough, and heart warm enough, and pen keen enough to give us the facts in regard to some good woman of 100 years ago, and let us know how many Christian- men und women aftd reformers and useful people have been found among her descendants, and how many asylums and colleges and churches they built, and how many millions of dollars, they contributed for humanitarian and Christian purposes? The good women whose tombstones were planted in the eighteenth century are more alive for good In the nineteenth century than they were before, as the good women of this nineteenth century will be more alive for good in the twentieth century than now. Mark you, 1 have no idea that the grandmothers were any better than their granddaughters. You cun not get very old people to talk m uch about how things were when they were boys and girls. They htfte u reticence and a non-committalism which rnnkes me think they feel themselves to he the custodians of the reputation of their enrly comrades. While our dear old folks are rehearsing the fof* lies of the present, if we put then) on the witness stand nnd cross-examine them as to how things were 70 years ago. the silence becomes oppressive. The celebrated Frenchman, Volney, visited this country in 17WV. and he says of woman’s diet In those times: “If a premium was offered for a regimen most destructive to health, none could be more efficacious for these ends ttunrthat in use among these people. "That eclipses our lobster salad at midnight. Everybody talks about the dissipation of modern society arid how womanly health goes down under It, hut it was worse 100 years ago, for the chaplain of a French regiment in our revolutionary war wrote in 1762, in his “Book of American Women,” saying: “They are tall and well proportioned, their features are generally regular, their complexions are generally fair and without color, At 20 years of age the women have no longer the freshness of youth. At 30 or 40 theey lire, decrepit.” In 1612 a foreign consul wrote a book entitled, “A Sketch of the United States at the Commeneement of the Present Century,” and he says of the wOinen of tiiose times; “At the age of 30 nil their charms have disappeared.” One glance at the portraits of the women 100 years ago and their style of dress makes us wonder how they ever got their breath. All this makes me think that the express rail train is no more of an improvement on the old canal boat, or the telegraph no more an improvement on the old* time saddle-bags, than the women of our day are an improvement on the women of the last century. But still, notwithstanding that those times were no much worse than ours, there was a glorious fswnjf goodly women, 70 arid 100 years ago, who -held the world back from sin and lifted it toward virtue, and without their exalted am] sanctified influence before this the last good influence would have perished from the earth. Indeed, all over this land there are seated today—not so much in churches, for man/ of them are t< feeble to come—a great many aged grandmothers. They sometimes feel that the world has gone past them, and they have an Idea that they are oMfttle account. Their heads sometimes get aching’ from the racket of the grandchildren ' down stairs or In the next room. The/

steady themselves by the banisters aa they go up and down. When they get a cold it hangs on them longer than It used to. They can 1 not bear to have the grandchildren punished even when they deserve it, and have so relaxed their ideas of family discipline that they would spoil all the youngsters of the household by too great leniuncy. These old folks are the resort when great troubles come, and there is a calming and soothing power in the touch of an aged hand that is almost supernatural.- They feel they are almost through with the journey of life, and read the old book more than they used to, hardly knowing which most they enjoy, the Old Testament or the New, and often stop and dwell tearfully over the family record halfway between. We hall them to-day, whether in the house of God or nt the homestead. Blessed is that household that has in it a grandmother Lois. Where she is, angels are hovering round and God is in the rooom. May her last days be like those lovely autumnal days that we call Indian Bummer! is it not time that you and I do two things—awing open a picture gallery of the wrinkled faces and stooped shoulders of the past, and call down from their Heavenly thrones the godly grandmothers, to give them our thanks, und then to persuade the mothers of to-day thut tliey.ure living for all time, and that against the sides of every cradle in which a child is rocked heat the two eternities? Here we have un untried, undiscussed, and unexplored subject. You often hear alxmt your influence upon your own children; 1 am not talking about that. What about yuur influence upon the twentieth century, upon the thirtieth century, upon the fortieth century, upon the year 2000, upon the year 400(1, lx the, world lasts so long? The world stood 4000 years before Christ came; it is not unreasonable to suppose thnt it may stand 40(H) years after llis arrival. Four thousand years the world swung off in sin, 4000 years it may ’be swinging back iflto righteousness. By the ordinary rate of multiplication of the world’s population in a century, your descend* nuts will be oyer 300, and by two centuries over 50,000, nnd upon every one of them, you, the mother of to-day, will have an influence for. good or evil. And if in four centuries your descendants shall have with their names filled a scroll of hundreds of thousands, with some angel from Heaven, to whom is given the capacity to calculate the number of stars of Heaven und the sands of tin* seashore, step down und tell ub how many descendants you will have*in the four thousandth year of the world’s possible continuance? Do not let the grandmothers any lunger think that they are retired, and sit clear back out of sight from the world,feeling that they have no relation to.it. The mothers of the last century are to-day in the person of their descendants, in the senates, the.parliaments, the palaces, the pulpits, the bunking houses, .Unprofessional chairs, the prisons, the almshouses, the company of midnight brigands, the cellars, the ditches' ”qf" this country. You have been thinking about tin- importance of having the right influence upon one nursery. You have been thinking of the importance of getting those two little feet on tiie right path. You have been thinking of your child’s destiny for the next eighty years, if it ’should pass on to be an octogenarian. That is well, but my subject sweeps a. thousand years, a million years, a quadrillion of years. 1 can not stop at one cradle, I am looking at the cradles that reach all around the world and across alt time. 1 am not talking of mother Eunice. | am talking of £rundmblher Ix)ln. “The only way you can tell the force of a current is by sailing up stream; or the force of an ocenii wave, by running tin* ship it, Bunning ulong with it we can not appreciate the force. 11l estimating maternal infiiieniy* we generally run along with it down the stream of time, and so we don’t understand the full force. Let iis come up to it, from the eternity side, after It has been working on for centuries, and see all the good it has done and all the evil it has accomplished inbltiplied in ipugntfleent or appalling compound interest. The difference between thut mother’s influence on her children now and the Influence when It has been multiplied in hundreds of thousands of lives, is the difference 'between the Mississippi river uwuy up at the top of the continent starting from the little Lake itaska, seven miles long and one mile wide,and its mouth at tie* gulf of Mexico, where navies might ride. Between the birth of that riw-r and its budial in the sea tin- Missouri pours in, and the Ohio (tours in, and the Arkansas pours in, and the Bed and White and tin* Yazoo rivers pour in, and all the states ami territories Is* tween the Allegheny ami Rocky mountains make contribution. Now, in order to test u mother's influence, we need to come in off the ocean of rlernity and sail up toward the one cradle, and we will find 10,000 tributaries of influence (touring in and (touring down. But it is after ail one great river of (lower roiling on and rolling forever. Who ran fathom it? Who can luridge It? Who can stop it? Had not mother* better-be. ing their prayers? Had they not better be elevating their exam (lie? Hail they not better lie arousing themselves with the consideration that by their faithfulness oq neglect they are starting an influence which will lie stupendous after the last mountain of earth is flat, and the last sea Is dried up, and the last of ashes of a consumed world shall have I teen blown away, and sl(.tbe teleseojies of other worlds directed to tin- track around which our world once swung shall discover not so much as a elmier of the burned down and swept off planet. In Ceylon there is a granite column 3d

square feet in size, which is thought by the natives to decide the world’s continuuuce. An angel with robe spun from zephyrs is once a century to descend and sweep the hem of that robe across the granite, and when by that attrition the column is worn away they say time will eud. But by that process that granite column would be worn out of existence before mother’s influence will begin to give way. If a mother tell a child he Is uot good some bugaboo will ’ come and catch him, the fear excited may ipake the child a coward, und the fact that he finds that there is no bugaboo may make him a liar, and the echo of thnt false alarm may be heard after fifteen generations have been born und huvo expired. If a mother promises a child a reward for good behavior, nnd after the good behavior forgets to get the rewurd, the cheat may crop out in some faithlessness half ft thousand years further on. If u mother cultivate a child’s vanity nnd eulogize his curls and extol the night-blnek or skyblue or nut-brown of the child’s eyes nnd call out in his presence the ndmirtaion of spectators, pride nnd urrognnee nmy be prolonger after half a dozen futility records have been ob* liternted. if a mother express doubt übout some statement of the Holy Bible in ft child’s presence, long after the gates of this historical ern have closed and the gates of another era have opened, the result may lie seen iu a champion blasphemer. But, on the other hand, if n mother walking witli one child see a suffering one by the wayside and says: “My child, give thnt ten-eent piece to that lame boy," the result may lie seen on the other side of the following century iu some George “Muller building-n whole village of orphanages. If a mother sits almost every evening by the trundlebed of a olrilti nnd tenches it lessons of a Muviour’s love and a Saviour’s example, of tiie importance of truth and the horror of a He, nnd the virtues of industry and kind ness mid sympathy and mdf-sueriflec, long after the mother has gone , nnd tiie child has gone, nnd tiie lettering on both Hie tombs Tones shall have Wen washed out by tiie storms of innumerable winters, there may be standing, as a result of those trundle-bed lessons, flaming evangels, world-moving reformers, seraphic Sunimerflehls, .weeping I’ny* sons, thundering Whitefleldo, eiiiuuc-L jiating Washingtons. Good or bud influence may skip one generation or two generations, but It will be sure to bind in the third or fourth generation, just as, the Ten Commandments, speaking of the visitation of God on families, says untiling about tiie second generation, Imt entirely skips tiie second, and speaks of the third and fourth generation! "Visiting the iniquities of tliejnthers upon the third and fourth generation of them Unit bate me," I’lirental influence, right and wrong, may Jump over a generation, Imt It will come down further on its sure us you sit there and 1 stand here.
