Songs full of glee.

Of your wife's love and mine.
And the'love of our babies;
Since tlod's promise Is tiue
All's well with the world,
And with me and with you.

Dwelling In Love.
As the branch dwe'ls In the vine,
as the fishes dwell In the sea, as the
tree dwells In the ground where It
is planted, so the Christian dwells in
love. This is his element. From this
element he draws his life. As to oui
physicial being, we dwell In the at-
mosphere This Is our element. It
touches us on all sides, enters Into
us and imparts life. Remove man
from this element and he will soon
die.
In a remarkable prayer which Paul
offered for the Ephesians, this phrase
occurs: "That ye, being rooted and
grounded in love." A tree Is rooted
In the soil. From the soil it derive3
its life. Tear it loose from the soil,
and Its leaves will wither and Its
branches die. The soul that Is rooted
and grounded in love lives in and by
love. Love gives tone and color to
his words and deeds. Love is tho
source of his Joy and comfort. Ono
may be rorted In selfishness, in prlle,
in covetousness. In that case, this
particular passion will give tone and
color to his life. Hut one who Li
rooted in love is controlled in all
things by love.
All mtn love, but the love of some
is narrow and restricted. They nr.'
not rooted in love. One loves bi.i
kindred only. His heart is somewhat
larger than that of the man who 13
altogether selfish and lnves only him
self. But it is not enough to love
kindred and friends. Many objects
of Interest lie outside of this circ e.
Each man is related to nil others. It
love Is the controlling princip e of hi i
life, he must love God, his kindred,
his friends, his neighbors, his enemies,
strangers and all men. Tills Is tho
central principle of Christianity This
is the life of God on t'.e earth.
Prayer and Weakness.
The electro magnet is a pl?ce o*
soft iron, like a horseshoe, nroun '
which is colled a fine wire In irany
coils. Through that wire pa: ses n
current of electricity. As this cur
rent sweeps around the helices which
hold the nerveless, pulseless Iron It
imparts to the iron a strange power,
a power to which It is an utter ttran
ger until this current comes. Wrthout
it the horseshoe cinnot lift even a
pound of metal. But when thaj ex
ternal power pulses through it;
startled pores it will lift 3,.j00 t.mes
its own weight, so mighty is t'.i •
strength which this external fore* im
parts.
Our cold, dead hearts lie weak anc'
nerveless before the burdens and con
iiicts of liVe. We have no Impulse
and no energy. Tho slightest effor
is too great to make. And then we
place ourselves within the infi"°ncc o
prayer. We kneel before the mere;
seat and wrap ourselves around wit'
the currents of spiritual force whit!
prayer Hffords. And as those heaven
ly forces pass and repass through ou
souls, stimulating and strengthens?
our irresolute wills and rousing out
affections with divine energy we fin
the bloss'd fulfillment of that lnnv
cherished truth of Ood's ward, "lit

that have no 11 igl.t He increasetb

tlan feeling.—Henry Ward Beecher.
What Have We Gained?
This last year has added to our fx-
perlence to this mortal life and of th
world. What practical experience
have we gained? With the passing
awav of this vear there Is the sub.
traction of one more year from our
whole allotment—a most weighty and
important circumstance. Life at its
longest is but short, and each year Is
no Inconsiderable fraction of the
whole amount. How this fact ought
to teach us to make a wise use of
what remains! How we should redeem
the time which may yet be ours, doing
for the blessed Master whatever our
hands may find to do, scattering the
good seed of the kingdom broadcast,
if' happily It may find lodgment In
some good soil, springing up and bear-
ing fruit even a hundredfold to the
glory of God. Let the passing of the
year, then, admonish us of the
stealthy yet rapid flight of time.
Every period of life should be en-
tered upon with an earnest prayer to
God that he would keep us from
spending it In a vain and unprofitable
way. Let us, then, at the closing of
this year and as we enter upon the
new one, set up a memorial to the
lord Most High, and consecrate our-
selves anew to his service.
Our brightest moments are frequent-
ly those which arise to us from the
bosom of care and anxiety; the gems
that sparkle upon the dark ground.
To Reach the Larger Life.
The real business in every man's
life is contentedly to accept life as
It comes to him, and everywhere and
always to use it to -the highest point
of Its power and raise it to the high-
est elevation of its possible excel-
lence,—
That, surely, Is a task that will tax
our best energies; but, at Its very
heart, it holds this rapture: that every
hour brings us into a larger life, gives
us a larger ascendancy oyer all our
powers, and sets us a step nearer to
the goal of our high desire. It is
futility of the wildest kind to fritter
away the golden days In vacant and
Ineffectual dreams of an impossible
good, better to spend the hours In try-
ing to wrest advantage out of dis-
advantage, and liberty- from limita-
tion. Every Incompetent spirit can
spend the hours in ineffectual dreams,
and at the close of the day come
empty-handed to his goal; It takes a
real man to fill a little life so full
of goodness and glory that there Is
no room for littleness and selfishness,
and at the last to win the approval
of God and the honor of his fellow
men.—G. Beesley Austin.
plaining, listen. Be still before Uod.
David said. "I was dumb, I opened
not my mouth, because thou didst It."
That Is better than moaning and la
mentlng; but let us leap from David
to Jesus, and say: "The cup which
my Futher hath given me, shall I not
drink It?" "Father, glorify thy name.'
So shall we be made perfect through
Buffering.—Maltble D. Babcock, D. D.
The first privilege to which they
are admitted who take their place
amidst the votaries of the world, Is
the confession of Its worthlessness.
Negative Llvi..^.
Living to escape trouble Is a poor
kind of existence. The smaller ani-
mals in the forests and mountains
have to give a large share of their at-
tention to avoiding catastrophe, but
man was made for another kind of
life. "How are you?" a man called
O'jt to his friend in passing. "I can't
complain," was the ready answer
Poor fellow! The beat that he could
say was that he was successfu'ly
dodging disaster for the moment! The
present moment ought to mark the
highest point of joyous accomplish-
ment our lives have yet known. God
means that It should. We have more
to be_ thankful for to-day than ever
before since we or the world cam*
Into being. Even our unconscious
habits of speech will indicate this if
we are iirlng abundant'y.
There la no situation, however
humble, tie which to fill to perfection
does not argue superiority of charac-
ter.

Venerable English Lady Laid to Her
Final Reat.
There was laid at rest laBt week
in West Malvern churchyard a ven-
erable lady. Miss Elizabeth Hutchin-
son, who must be the last direct per-
sonal link with the poet Wordsworth,
having lived with him, and also with
his widow, her father's sister, at Ry-

She was connected by a cloae Intl-
] macy and affection with Words-
worth's favorite daughtor, Dora, or
Dorina, who married Edward Qulllin-

years at West Malvern, her brother

VVILLING TO SHARE WITH GOD
Simple Faith and Gratitude of a Little
Child.
Tho simple faith of n little child,
whether applied to parents, friend or
to God, found an illustration in a story
recently told by Dr. Levi G. Ilroughton
of Atlanta, Ga„ when he was in Bos-
ton. It was related to him by a friend
In the railroad service as follows:
"My little girl came to me a little
while before Christmas and said:
'Papa, I want you to pray to God and
ask him to hive Santa Claus bring me
a dolly for Christmas.' I promised,
inrl on Christinas morning she found ,
her doll, and called me to see It. As ]
file looked It over, examining the face, |
the eyes, the hair, and the clothes, she
said, 'Papa, hain't God good? He's
pooder than I thought he was. Do you |
think he sent little brother anything?'
"I told her she might go over to her i
grandma's, where brother was visiting,
and find out. Presently she returned, ,
with her face all covered with happy |
sialics, and exclaimed, 'O, pnpa! God •
sent brother a beautiful great big hob- i
by-horse.'
"Breakfast came soon after and as
we sat down at the table she climbed
upon my knee, and putting her arms
around my neck she said again. 'Hain't
God jood? and he was gooder to broth-
er than he was to me. wasn't he?'
"I replied. "Yes. he Is geod, and now
what are you going to do for God.
dear?'
" 'O. I'm going to let God play with
my dolly all he wants to: and I'm go-
ing to ask brother to let God ride his
iiobby-horse, too.' "—Boston Post.

Willie's Dream of Papa.
Willie (very seriously)—"Papa, I
had a strango dream this morning."
Papa—"Indeed! What was it?"
Willie—"I dreamed, papa, that I
died and went to heaven; and wl en
St. Peter met me at the gate, instead
of .showing me the way to the golden
street, as I expected, he took me out
into a 1 ge field, and in the middle
of the field there was a ladder reach-
Ing away up into the sky and out of
sight. Then St. Peter told m* that
heaven wti at the top, and that in
order to pet there I must take the big
^iwe of chalk he gave me and alowlj
climb tb* ladder, writing on each rung
some sin I had committed."
Papa (laying down his newspaper)
—"And did you finally reach heaven,
my eon?"
Willie—"No, papa; for just as I was
tryin^ to think of something to write
on the second rung I looked up and
saw you coming down."
Papa—"And what was I com'.ns
down for?"
Willie—'That's what I asked you,
and you told me you were coming for
more chalk."—.Judge's Magazine of

SOME ODD WEDDINQ tPKICHKfc
Ono Groom Qave ■ Juggling Per-
formance, Another Won by Brlba*.
The recent wedding In New York
at which tho bridesmaids were repre-
sentative of six nationalities, and
each felicitated the bride In the lan-
guage of her own country, was an
odd affair, but probably not so wall
received as the speech of a young
Englishman who was called upon to
toast "The bridesmaids."
Apprised of bis ordeal In advance
he had devised an escape, and with
the single statement that silence wae
golden he brought from his pocket a
set of gold bangles, which he bestow-
ed upon the attendants of tho brtdo.
At a wedding feast at Dol, In Nor-
mandy, the demand for a speech re-
sulted In the production of a guitar,
upon which the speaker accompanied
himself while he chanted the praises
of the bride.
Had he stopped there all would
have been well, but he changed to a
praise of his store, and the gueste
threw him out of the house.
Doubtless a similar fate should
have befallen the sharpshooter who
wrote the name of the bride upon the
wall w ith pistol bullets, to the sertoua
damage of the wall paper.
Almost as odd was the performance
of a German music hall performer,
who, when called upon for entertain-
ment, mounted the table upon hla
hands and balanced himself upon
glasses, cups and other furnishings.—

The Ownership of Sin.
An English officer in India reared
a tiger's cub as a pet in hi.s tent. It
would nlay wilh htm like a kitten. One
day when it was full-grown, it sport-
ively licked the back of his hand. Its
rough tongue scratched the skin, and
It got its first taste of blood. In-
stantly It became a voracious beast
ready to spring upon Its protector and
devour him. It must be shot at once
to save the officer's life. In like man
ner the sinful lusts of the human
heart suddenly display their deadly
virulence when their presence is least
expected. The fatal propensity must
be checked and conquered. Jesus
wants only those things given up that
are destroying us. He said: "And if
thy right eye offend thee, pluck It out.
and cast It from tl>-e; for it Id profit-
able for thee that one of thy members
should perish, and not that thy whole
body should be cast into hell."
Diogenes, being asked what advan
tnge he had derived from being a
philosopher, replied, "The power of
enjoying the society of myself."

Put Hla Foot In It.
J. Nota McGIll, ex-register of wills
for the District of Columbia, and now
professor of patent law at Georgetown
university, lost a hat, a point to a
joke, and a goodly amount of temper
yesterday. This is how it came to
pass:
Mr. McGCl was walking from the
patent office up G. Street to his own
office, when he came face to face with
a nor'wester.
Mr. McGIll Is not of the excitable
kind, but when that nor'wister struck
him he lost his head—or rather his
hat.
"Hey, there," cried the ex-register,
"stop that brand new hat of mine!
Won't some one stop It?"
There was something In the profes-
sor's voice that appealed to a dapper
locking stranger, who made a lunge
at the head gear, but could do no
belt r than put his feet through It.
Consequently the brim was the only
part recognizable after the fatality.
"Well, you certainly have put your
foot in it," shouted Mr. McGIll.
"Beg pardon, what did you say?"
asked the dude.
"I say you've put your foot In It."
"By Jove, say not so, old chap."
"Say not so yourself," growled the
professor, "you surely have fixed my
hat up all right."
"I am awfully sorry—weally," con-
fessed the dude. "Let me 'ave It
mended."
"Oh, no," said the ex-register with
sarcasm, "the brim la not worth a
crown now."
"A crown? I should say It Is! Why
the bloomln' thing Is worth a sover-
eign at least!"—Washington Post.

Gratitude Is the thing you feel when
you hope that some more of the same
agreeable kind Is coming?

times I have no appetite at all. I havo

More Than the Girl Could Stand.
Arthur Stringer, whose short stor-
ies and novels are so well known, was
considering certain alterations in a
manuscript which an editor had sug-
gested to him, and was talking Jhe
matter over with his wife the other
morning. In the midst of their con-
versation one of their maids —an
Irish girl only recently landed —
passed through the room. Mr. String-
er was at that moment saying In his
most serious tones:
"I guess I II kill Mr. McToole."
The maid fled and has not been
seen since; and now Mrs. Stringer
blames her Insband for the loss of an
excellent servant and deplores the
fact 'hat tho missing girl doubtless
thinks him a murderer.

Supreme Test of Love.
"George, we have been married juat
a year to-day. haven't we?" said Mrs.
Worthlngton, as George came home
from work, tired and rather out of
sorts.
"Yes, dear, did you think I had for-
gotten It?"
"No, George; but I Just thought I
would mention it. And. George, In atl
this time has your love for me waver-
ed for an Inataut? Has the horrible
thought come to you at any time that
you had made a mistake? Do you still
feel the same toward me that you did
upon that night a year ago, when you
promised to love me always, to care
for me and protect me through the
• rials to follow? Do you still feel the
saire?"
"Why. dearest, how can you ask
such questions, when you know that I
have done all In my power and with
my whole hcirt to make you happy;
when you know that 1 would wittingly
do anything you ask."
"Then. George," sighed Mrs. Worth-
Ington. as she threw her arms around
his neck and kissed him, "there la one

"Yes. dearest."

Ex-Ambassador Choate was discuss-

"Tbe man reminded me," he said,
"of a Sunapee farm hand at a Christ-

"The leading farmer at Sunapee

forty helpers.
"There was roast turkey, roast
goose, cranberries, pumpkin and

maple sugar, plum pudding—a feast.
"And before a cerU.n tall and

eggs, but lay all the faster to make
up tor the loss.

"What costume shall I announce,

"Oh, none. We haven't anything on
at all," was the response.
"Two ladles without anything on at
