FRIENDS.
Not bt that oounu my error,
Kot he that hold me bark
With doubting word to show m
Wherein and how I lack;
Not he that see my failings;
And, seeing them, 1 free
To take my measure by them;
He's not the friend for me. '
But he that learn' my virtue.
Who take me at my best; 1
Who notes my greatest fallings'
And overlooks the rest;
Who after I have striven
And have not failed, Is free
With words of commendation-
He Is the friend for me.
He that forever warns ma
Of dangers In my way.
Who doubts my strength to met them
And ever bids me stay,
May truly seek to shield ma,
May wish me well, but he ,
Whose faith Is Inspiration 1
He la the friend for me.

JULIA'S LETTERS.
Susan TeaJl Perry, In Christian In
telligencer: "Did you hear from Julia
today, Mineryy?" asked Mr. Ford, a
he sat down In the wee porch In the
September sunshine.
"Ye, father," replied the daughter,
as he took a letter out of her apron
pocket. "Jack Collins brought It this
afternoon, when he earn heme from
trading down at BlmTlIle."
"Well, let's hear rt. I haven't got
my glasses here. Hope they ar? all
well." ' '
, The daughter read the letter frcm her
lister, which, as usual, was full of com
plaints and apprehensions of comlne
disasters. When she had finished, Mr.
Kord leaned back In the old porch
rocker and paid:
"It does b.:at all how much trouble
Julia : lv.iiyn has. How Rood It would
be It for once i-he would write a real
good, ehcei ful li'ttor, Instead of an up
Bet t inn, worrying sort of one."
"Hornet irnctt I'm afraid Julia is not
getting atom; a.s well as sho mirjlit bo.
It does rsof reeiTi as IC she would write
n if thiricH were KoliiH on l!:;ht. 1
don't know but I oucht to go out there1
this fall and aoe what the situation Is,"
his daughter rejoined.
"Perhaps you had, Mlncrvy, but It
wiil be terribly lonesome for me. I
suppose Aunt Sally will come and keep
me company; but she always goes tc
leep In her chair when she sits down,
so she isn't very entertaining. How
ever, I guies I can stand It a couple of
weeks."
"Yes; but, father, It costs a good deal
to go out to Julia's. I could not make
the trip there and back for less than
l'J. I would have to draw it out of the
bank, and that would leave me only IjO
on Interest; but If she is In trouble, I
must not mind that."
Mr. Ford took the letter In his hand,
and. looking over It, aaid: "It eem
that Albert ha a good place In the of
fice of the Iron works, but Julia say
he may lose It any time; and the little
boy is well now, but the scarlet fever
Is in the neighborhood and he Is quite
sure to get It; and If he dies, It will go
hard with him, because he is so deli
cate. The little girl's eyes trouble her;
Julia' afraid she will be blind. And
iat tim she does have with the
hired., help! I should think she would
rather do her own work than to be
bothered so. She doesn't seem to be
well herself, either, does she? What Is
this she says about her lungs being
weak? There never was any lung
complaint on my side of the house, nor
on your mother' side."
Mr. Ford got up and went Into the
tiiraw. u was supper time, antl ni
daughter followed him. He was In his
hlrt aleeves, and she got his coat and
helped him to put it on. His arms were
very lame, as he had been cutting corn
all day; but he did not speak of U. He
asked the usual blessing at the table
and added a petition that the Father In
heaven would bless Julia and her fam.
lly, and keep them from sickness and
danger. A wall of the father's prayers
had been about Julia "goings In and
comings out" ever lnce she left the
old home.

sleep she had made up her mind to
leave Aunt Sally with her father and
go out west and find out for herself
how things were going with Julia. Had
sh not promised the dying mother to
be a tecond mother to her young r sis
ter, Julia?
. And so Minerva went, and the father
watched each day for a letter, that
would come as soon as she arrived.
When It came and he read It, he gav

Julia's husband had food position,
and there was no reason to think he
wduld lose It The scarlet fever had
moved out of the neighborhood, and
the little boy did not get It HI sister's
eyes were better, and the doctor said
there was nothing serious about the
case. Julia had had a severe cold,
brourM on by her own Imprudence,
but was entirely over It and Minerva
wrote' that Julia never looked so well
in her life. ,
The father thanked God for hla good
ness to hi child, and wondered why
Julia did not appreciate her blessings
and thank God for them, and stop uch
complaining.
After Minerva had been at her slater's
a few days, a telegram came to her.
Her father was very ill and wished her
to come home on the flrat train. Aunt
Sally had sent It. Julia wondered how
her sister could be so calm. She "had
gone all to pieces," cbe said, heating
uch terrible news. If anything had
happened to father, It must kill her, she
knew. She could not help her sister te
get ready for the return Journey. She
annoyed and hindered her by the dread
ful foreboding she kept telling.
"Could Aunt Sally hsve been ever
anxious In the matter?" she naked. But
Minerva quietly said: "Aunt Sally Is
not an alarmist, Julia. She never sent
that telegram unless it wa a necessity.
Whatever comes the Lord will give m
strength to meet It. I trust Him."
Minerva made the return Journey
and found her father very ill. Just as
she thought, he had not remembered to
put on heavy clothing when the weath
er became colder. He had been used to
his daughter's quiet ways of getting
the things he needed at hand for him at
the proper time.
H was a long and trying Illness, and
when the father got ubout again, he
knew It had be n a hard pull, and he

Minerva's letters were always hopeful
ones to her sister. She made no men
tion of her weariniES from the loiifr,
anxious watching and waiting, neither
did fihe tell how Hying the shiftless boy
she had hired to do the farm chores was
nor that the potato crop was almost a
failure. Why should she worry Julia
with things that she could not mend?
There Is a bright side to everything, if
we will only look for It. Minerva was
one of the elect, of whom some one
says: "The elect are those who put life
Into one who give courage to the faint
hearted, hope out of their own con
stancy." "If I were only calm and
trustful like Minerva," thought Julia,
"how much easier life would be for me
and all those who are dear to me. I
must try and see the bright side of
things, a Minerva docs, and learn not
to put burden on other people's should,
era." Aunt Sally remarked, when
Julia's letters were read aloud In the
family after Minerva's return home,
that Julia did not write such upsetting
things as she used to, and really seemed
to have learned to see a better way of
looking at life and its dally cares and
duties.
Just an Ordinary Old Coin.
"Say," said the street car conducto.
to a mild-mannered man who was
deeply engrossed In his newspaper.
"Say, young feller, I don't want this
quarter. I can't use It." The mild man
continued to hold out his hand for the
change, but paid no other attention to
the conductor.
"See here!" yelled the conductor, get
ting red In the face, "you can't pass no
quarter like that on me. It's sliek. I

The mild man looked up and said:
"I'm sorry, because you gave me that
very quarter yourself last night, and
I've been laying for you since. Well,
give It here." He took the quarter and
gave the conductor a nickel. A he
took the quarter from the conductor he
suddenly dropped hi newspaper and
gave a chuckle.
"Well, well,' he exclaimed, "here's
luck. Bless me, If that Isn't an 1832
quarter with fourteen star and an
arrow. It's worth 13.82." He slipped it
Into hi pocket with evidence of much
'satisfaction.

In the comer,
( overneard the conversation,
, J r)(.d up an,i said to the conductor:
"Isn't that the quarter I gave you
yesterday morning? I mlssid that quar

able coin. I remember now that I
gave it to you! I demand It!" he said,
looking fiercely at the mild man. "If
you are a gentleman you will give It
to me."
"It Isn't yours. You never pave it to
me. My wife gave It to me by mis
take; It's part of a collection that's
been In the f-itnlly since 1S27!" yelled
the conductor.
"I tell you It's mine," said the hungry
eyed man. Thus they wrangled and
querreled all the way down town.

There was recently reprinted in The
Sun, from a Western newspaper, a
paragraph about the disinterment and
reburial of a body in a cemetery, be
cause ,lt had been buried in the wrong
way. Hie undertaker, so iur olo
graph said, "was a new man at the
business, and the body - was placed
with its feet to the west. The rela
tives recalled the fact, ajid would not
be satisfied until the remains were ex
humed and turned with tin- feet to the
cast, in accordance with the popular
custom.
Kew York undertakers say that
hereabouts bodies are buried accord
ing to the situation of the burial plot;
with the feet to the path iu trout,
however that may bring the body
with regard to the points of the coin
pass. It was a common custom in old
Jpmes to bury Uie dead with the feet
a the east, so that when they should
rise, on the day of resurrection, they
would rise facing whence the sum
mons was expected. There are. it is
said, whole churchyards filled with
dead, all facing eiud; but with the
growth of cities, and of cemeteries
outside of churchyard burying
grounds, this practice fell into disuse.
Cemeteries were variously situated, to
start with; and then they were laid
out in such a manner as to bring the
land within them most advantageous
ly into use. Obviously, for illustra
tion, of a double tier of lots joining
at the back and each tier facing on a
path, one tier of lota would face one
way, and the other tier in exactly the
opposite way. A body buried in any
of those lots, facing either way, would
be buried with the feet to the path
upon which the lot fronted; so that
the bodies in the two tiers or tuis
double tier of lots would face in exact
ly opposite direction; and it might be
that neither faced exactly Knxt.
In laying out cemeteries there are
likely to be curving roads, and there
might be roads crossing diagonally;
with the result of Home plots of irreg
ular nhape. and some triangular; ami
there are lil.ety to be found in ceme
teries nome circular plots. Iu a circu
lar plot that was er.ciosed by other
land, it might be that the grades
would be made with the feet toward
llie monymerit at the center of 1he
plot, if, ns would more likely be the
case, the circular plot had a path
around it, then the bodies would be
placed with their head to the central
monuments and their feet to the path,
the graves radiating from the center;
and ho lying as to the points of the
compass, in various directions. In
triangular plots the bodies might not
be interred with feet to a path, but
lengthwise of the plot in its longest
section in this or other irregular plots
they would be buried as' they could be
most appropriately to the plot. But
in most lota it is possible to bury the
body with the feet to the path antl
this is now without regard to the com
pass points substantially the common
practice. And if abody weredisinterred
from one lot and reintered in another
it would, upon its interment, be placed
with its feet to the front of the new
lot whether this faced in the same di
rection as the old one or not. It is the
location of the lot that governs; the
practice being to bury with the feel
and thus, of course, the face, toward
the path.
Hut while the direction in which
bodies shall lie buried is nowadays
commonly thus determined, there: are
those who still prefer to be' buried
facing east; and who accomplish that
result simply by buying a lot that
faces in that direction. Sun.

They themselves say they are poor.
They do not own a horse and carriage.
nor do they take much concern in the
theatrical column of the paper. They
are rich in thrift and honestly and
what the New Knglanders call faculty
and richer yet in the four bright
children who go to school every day.
Hut they say they are poor, and Sep
tember was not ended until they luy
awake nights talking together about
the advance in coal. The manly man
has an income of just so many dol
lars a week, and the womanly wife
thought she had been saving every
possible cent in her splendid house

another cleft in the rocky geography
of their life that had to be bridged
in some way or other. So, they lay
awake nights wondering how ihv
would do It, and never reaching the
solution of the problem.
Hut they did more than lie awake
and think. The only way seemed to
lie to use less coal. The window pane
thnt had been out all summer a tiling
thut in July was put oft till tomorrow
was replaced. It took two whole
evenings to cover the cracks 'around
the windows ho that the patches would
not show. That old wornout dress in
which Khe lcjokcd so well' three years
ago tinned out to be jiiKt the thing
to tear inlo strips to fold and put un
der (loots and between window fhsIics.
II was discovered that plaster of paris
was the cheapest cITcelive (hing to
