Human nnturebceiu? to dclijjht to
Bit in judgment upon its fellows. It
is eHsy to criticise the minister, the
church, the school, the world iu
general. Of cour9e, we cauuot be
intelligent human beings without
having definite opinions, but these
are sometimes needlessly or harshly
expressed.
A prominent Christian Raid once
to a young convert, "Do you know
that people say you are always
blowing your own horn?" That in
judicious remark nearly sealed the
lips, for forty years.of one of Boston's
most godly men.
D. L. Moody was right when he
said, "It don't take brains or heart
to find fault." Nothing is easier
than to sit in one's parlor and write
letters to public journals blaming
young women because they will not
go out to domestic service. "Would
the writers go if they were poor
and similarly circumstanced ? "When
ladies themselves treat girls in the
kitchenas politely as those who sell
ribbons and laces, and teach their
sons to be courteous likewise, the
word "servant-girl" will havo a
different meaning from what it now
has.
The world is not won by denun
ciation. Tell a boy that ho is disa
greeable, and how quickly one has
lost influence ovr him. We muBt
commend the good in people, aud
kindly pray over and reason about
the bad. Most persons can be led,
few driven, even children, without
spoiling them. Law is essential,
and obedience, but true justice is
always tempered with mercy.
I know a family where the wife
is continually telling the husband
and children of their shortcomings ;
how they fail in mental develop
ment, in good manners and in suc
cess, and the peace and happiness of
that home may well be imagined.
It is quite as easy to say to a child,
"I am glad you arc not rough as
Borne are," as to say, "Why do you
always talk so loudly and be so im
polite?" It is quite as easy to say
to a husbaud, "I am glad to have
you come early," as? to say, "Why
are you always late?" We lend
people naturally up to the very
things which we commend iu them.
"Wo trust people aud they become
worthy of our trust. Harshness is
the poorest policy possible, if we
desire to win. So antagonize peo
ple that they dislike you, and your
power has gone. The man whom
you have alienated proves to be in
nine casos out of ten, the very one
who would have been valuable to
you in some busiuess or social suc
cess. He could have helped you to
s position, rather thau hindered. As
we grow older we learn as we never
knew in youth, that lives are liko
bricks in a building. They are put
together by the MaBter-buildcr, each
dependent upon the other.
If you wiBh a servant to be neat,
notice aud speak pleasantly of it
when he or Bhe is so. It is very
easy to complain when things do
not please, and quito as easy to tor
get to commend when they are well
doue. Many a child has grown in
different and calloused in heart from
being constantly found fault with.
Many a man, like Ceneral Garfield,
has been helped to groatuess because
of a word of eucouragement, such as
he received from Dr. Robinson, who
urged him to get an education.
John B. Gough came to eminence
because a friendly hand laid upon
his shoulder. John G. Whittier
owed his inspiration largely to Gar
rison's commendation of his first
poem. Captain James B. Eads got
his taste for engineering from a book
furnished him by his bachelor em
ployer, when a boy in his store.
We are creatures largely of cir
cumstances, aud liable to change in
a day. Therefore, all the more need
of charity in our criticism. A prom
inent author once ridiculed Lydia
H. Sigouruey, because, in the blind
ness of her sympathetic heart, she
often wrote obituary poems. By
and by a petted child died in the
author's home. Mrs. Sigourncy sent
to the crushed family some tender
verses. Nothiug could have been
more comforting. The poet was
never ridiculed afterward. A lead
ing family of my acquaintance were
opposed to women speaking in
church, till their own daughter, cul
tured and noble, wailed into public
work, and their opinions changed
at once.
We shall not hold the same opin
ions on scores of subjects twenty
years from now that we have at
present "When wo are tempted to
any harsh things, in private, or on
the platform, we might wisely re
member the words of the old rabbi,
who waB awakened by ouc of his
twelve 8088, who said, "Behold!
my eleven "brothers lie Bleeping, and
I am the only one who wakens to
pray in the still watches of the
night." "Son," said the wise father,
"you had better sleep too than wake
to censure your brothers." Sarah

Abraham Lincoln is on record, in
hit peculiar way, ou the system of
competitive examinations. Thr col
ored troops raised directly by the
general government during the war
were officered through competitive
examinations, and, as was generally
admitted, were remarkably well
officered, too. But It would occa
sionally happen that a young college
student, by committing Casey's tac
tics, and shying out hie mathemat
ical and historical knowledge to
good advantage, would get a cap
taincy or majoralty before he could
shoulder arms aud march a company
out to the parade grouud. And
often a man peculiarly fitted to com
mand, with a special relish for fight
ing aud perfect in the maneuvering
of a regiment or brigade, but unfa
miliar with the characters of ancient
history and ignorant of logarithms,
would fail of securing a second
lieutenancy. One of the latter class
once, in his perplexity, applied to
Mr. Liucoln,and that man of wonder
ful discernment and practical sense
sent him to Secretary Stanton with
this note: "I desire that Mr.
should be appointed to thocolonelcy
of a colored regiment, although he
inaynot know the exact shade of Ju
lius Casar's hair."
"That Crooked Little Old Wo
man." "Let me turn the horse here aud
go up the other road," said my
beautiful and dainty Boston cousin,
as we were leisurely driving along
through a lonely aud picturesque
locality in Norfolk county, Massa
chusetts. "Wc shall bo sure to see
that crooked, wretched old woman
gardener at her dirty work if wc
keep along tho turnpike."
"Do you refer to Miss Wheeler?"
I asked iu surprise.
"Yes," replied my cousin, deftly
drawing the crimson and yellow
webbing of the reins through her
jeweled hands. "I believe that is
tho name. You have often seen her
browsing around in her garden, of
course."
"Oh, yes," I answered, "but cousin
Mabel, you do not know her as I do,
and you entirely mistake her char
acter and condition. She is not
'wretched' at all, but on the contra
ry, she is the neatest, most cheerful,
and the very happiest person in my
circle of acquaintances. Her face
and form, 1 admit, would not con
stitute a poet's ideal of female
beaut'. Her gowns are faded by
the sun, to be sure, but they arc
clean and tidy. Her hands and face
are browned from her out-of-door
employment, aud her back is hump
ed by illness in early youth, for she
was an invalid until she was forty
years old.
"About that time, one spring, a
neighboring physician who chanced
to see her, told her she mint make
up her mind to die within the next
four mouths or else pass the greater
part of her time out of doors, for
seclusion aud confinement in her
cramped up quarters had nearly
killed her. The alternative was
hard for her to take, as she was
foud of books and fancy work and
had dainty, refiued tastes. But she
was a Christian woman and believ
ed it to be her duty to try, by every
means in her power to prolong the
life which her Creator had given
her, not only to be a blessing to
herself but to others.
"She was very fond of flowers,
and at first busied herself about
them. She soon became interested
in her vegetablo garden, and she
found that she could earn consider
able money iu the cultivation of
small fruits as well as by raising
early vegetables. Besides, she knew
that iu order to content herself iu
her new out-door life she must be
employed. Before tho succeeding
fall she found herself iu greatly im
proved health. That was twenty
years ago ; and now, at sixty, she
says she has enjoyed twenty years
of perfect health and consequent
happiness. She will tell you that
there is not a woman of her age in
this country so strong and well and
happy in every respect as she. She
now owns tho comfortable and
roomy, enlarged and modernized
house she lives iu, as well as the
garden plot, orchard aud adjacent
wood lot, and does all the work out
doors and in.
"It cannot be 6aid that she lives
alone, because she extends tho shel
ter of her roof and the provision of
her board at times to this and that
homeless one with whom she comes
in contact, and who is sick or tired
or thrown out of employment.
"The paBlor of the church to which
she belongs, and to which she goes
on tho Sabbath and on the occasion
of the week-day meeting on foot in
nearly all kinds of weather, told me
tho other day that the little white
house among the trees was a very
haven of rest both to the body-weary
and tho heart-weary, and that the
little bent figure flitting about was
the presiding angel."
"Oh," said my cousin, "let us drive
past her house by all means and spe
if wo cannot get a glimpse of the
dear, kind, happy old lady." So,
driving onward, we soon found our
selves in front of the low gate of the
little house, where a bouquet of
bright, choice flowers was placed in
our hands by this dear disciple,
whom the blessed religion of Jesus
Christ prompts to work, day in and
out, to give of the fruit of her labors
to the homeless and needy, and to
neglect no opportunity of speaking
a word for the master who has given
her the gracious privilege of being
one of the most useful, if one of the
most humble of his hand-maidens.

Tommy went fishing the other
day without permission of bis moth

met him, aud asked : "Did you catch
anything yesterday, Tommy?" "Not
till I got home," was the rather sad
response.

In our opinion, girls are just as
willing to give up their extrava
gance in dross as young men arc
that is, when it is necessary so to
do. To the fact that men are so
unwilling to relinquish their pet
vices aud luxuries is to be ascribed
much of the falling off of matri
mony. Marriage without adequate
means of support is a blunder that
is almost a crime; but no girl
made of ordinary stuff will
hesitate to share the trials and sac
rifices of the man she loves, pro
vided he has that competence, how
ever modest. The thousands of
happy, smiling homes, whore true
love constantly abides, in spite of
the slenderness of the family income,
sufficiently attest the readiness of
average woman to surrender the
baubles of wealth ami fashion in or
der to become a devoted wife and
mother. If the opposite sex were
uniformly animated by a similar
spirit, wc venture to assert that the
number of maids aud bachelors
would rapidly diminish. The truth
is, there is too much lovo of dress
and pretentious display in both
sexes, aud women should not bear
the blame alono.
If the mistress of the household
is inclined to be extragant in hor
expenditures, her servants, who are
quick imitators, will soon follow
her example, and make sad waBte of
the materials put into their hands.
The improvident class, from which
our help mostly come, soon learn
tho lessons taught by such example
and become careless of the property
of the employer, oven when they
have no thought of appropriating
anything to their own use. But
such lessons, it should be remom
bcrcd, make our employes, of both
sexes, totally unfit to manage a homo
of their own, or save enough, when
family cares come upou them to
keep them from the poor house.
How many of us have seeu what
wretched, incompetent creatures
those girls become after marriage
who have lived in wealthy fam
ilies,with a great abundance to work
with aud no cautions from their em
ployer to use it discreetly and with
a true economy. They are incapa
ble of making the most of their
small possessions. If they had been
taught economy, aud how best to
manage their own earnings, they
could help their husbands to build
up little comfortable homes for
themselves and rear and educate
their children with such care that
they might become among our most
influential citizens. But unless
those wealthy ladies with whom they
took their first lessons were those
who feel the true responsibility of
their positions and tho guidance
thoy owe to their servants, when the
untutored damsels marry they drift
as helpless as a rudderless ship in a
storm, and year by year sink down
into deeper poverty and wretched
ness, ending perhaps, in a pauper's
grave ruined for life by the extrav
agant habits learned before marriage.
Your Wife Ilegs It."
It is related that in the early days
of her wedded life, Queen Victoria
had one of those squabbles with her
husband, of the sort which will
come about sometimes even between
the most loving couples. Chagrin
ed aud vexed the prince retired to
his room and locked tho door. The
queen took the matter quietly for
awhile, but after the lapse of an
hour she went to his door and rap
ped. 'Albert,' she said, 'come out.'
'No, I will not,' answered the
prince, within. 'Come, go away ;
leave me alone.'
The royal temper waxed hot at
this. 'Sir she cried, 'come out at
once. The queen, whose subject
you arc, commands you.'
He obeyed immediately. Enter
ing the room she designated, he sat
down in silence. For a long time
nothing was said. The qnoen was
the first to break the silence.
'Albert,' she said, 'speak te mo.'
'Dons tho queen command it ?' ho
asked.
'No,' she answered, throwing her
arms about his neck, 'your wife begs
it."
The sun arose again in Windsor.
Why Thej' Often l-'nll.
Young men often fail to get on in
tho world bocauso they neglect
email opportunities. Not being
faithful in little things, they are not
promoted to the charge of greater
things. A young man who gets a
subordinate situation sometimes
thinks it not necessary for him to
give much attention. lie will wait
till he gets a place of responsibility,
and then he will show people what
he can do. This is a very great
mistake. Whatever his situation
may be, he should master it in all
its details, aud perform all its duties
faithfully. The habit of doing his
work thoroughly aud conscientious
ly is what is most likely to enable a
young man to make his way. With
this habit, a person of only ordinary
abilities would outstrip one of great
er talents who is in the habit of
slighting subordinate matters. But,
after all, adopted by a young man of
this great essential rule of success
showB him to be possessed of super
ior abilities.

There is no answer so provoking
as the stereotyped phrase 'nothing.'
'What were you saying my dear?'
'Oh, nothing.' 'What were you
laughing at?' 'Nothing.' 'What arc
you muttering, sir?' 'Nothing.' And
so it goes through a whole rango of
baflled inquiry. When Jeremiah
Mason, the celebrated Now Hamp

master, lay on his death-bod he
heard his daughter spoaking, lie
roused up and inquired, "Mary,
what did you say V 'Nothing, papa.'
she replied. Tho old spirit of the
examiner woko in him, and he said,
'Mary, what words do yon use to
say nothing?' Here in an admirable
formula for dofcating the answer
'nothing' when used as a rejoinder
