The brightest and the best;
They glad us in our busy walks,
Are with us when we rest;
An argel band, they hover "round,
In walking and in dream,
And o’er our hearts in saddest hours
They shed a golden beam.
Our common joys, O what are they?
Bat blessings felt within,
For smallest deeds of goodness done
Amid a world of sin?
The mite we give tha child of want,
The slightest word of cheer
That lifts a heart with sorrow bowed,
Or dries a falling tear.
Our common joys, O what are they?
The priceless pearls and gold
Which memory sifts upon the heart
When life is growing old;
The thought that we have treasured up—
Wkere naught can steal away—
The consciousness of doing good
With every passingday. @
AUNTS EXAMPLE.
Y 4 AM really quite shocked
;s at your conduct, Nettie;
o‘i'o' ~ it is most indecorous,”
o\ and the speaker, Nettie
g : /- Danforth’s maiden aunt,
. a prim, well preserved
lady of about forty, put
on a severe look.
‘“Why. auntie, what have I done?”
queried Nettie, raising her blue eyes
in well simulated surprise.
““You know too well, I fear, chiid.
You will persist in trying by every
means in your power to attract the at
tention of Ned Bartram, and really
your flirtations with him are too much
for me 4o endure calmly. I feel that
I must remonstrate, and try to awaken
within you a sense of modesty, which
now seems deadened, or at least sleep
ing. Now, when I was young—"
‘““When you were young! Why,
aunt, I hope you don’t consider vour
self old—l don’t,” cried Nettie, with
animation, hoping to distract her
aunt’s attention from herself by a lit
tle delicate flattery.
“Why—ahem—no, child, not old,
of courte, but I have passed the age
of gushing school girlhood, and ean
now, from my twenty-eight years of
experience judge more clearly of what
is proper for a young girl like you.”
‘““To be sure, aunt, 1 acknowledge
that you know what is best; but yon
speak of your experience; do tell me
about your old beaux,” urged Nettie,
mischievously.
*‘Beaux!” cried Miss Elmer, and her
face expressed a]l the horror she felt.
“Why, my dear, I never thought of
such a thing! As I told you before,
the ideas of the young girls of then--
abem !—of a few years ago were not
all bent on such things. Yet there
are you who, with the examples that
have been set you, should be a most
modest, retiring girl, using your
greatest endeavors to captivate this
young man. It’s shameful, positively
shameful. I blush for you.”
“*No, don’t; I'il do it for myself.”
Nettie covered her face with her
hands, and Miss Elmer observed, with
great satisfaction, that her niece’s
face was quite erimgson ; but, alas! we
are sorry to say it was not, as the good
lady imagined, with mortification,
but—suppressed laughter.
“I'll tell you what I'll do, aunt,”
continued Nettie, after a pause of ap
parent confusion. ‘l'll promise to
follow your example. There, will that
satisfy you?”
“Perfectly. And though I say it
who shouldn’t, I must say that I think
you will find little to blush for if you
follow in my footsteps.”
And the lady lifted her head rather
proudly; while Nettie, having given
and received the kiss of reconcilia
tion, managed to stifle her mirth until
she reached her own room, where it
found vent in a olear, melodious trill
of laughter, as she said:
““Ah, aunt, you think I don’t know
about your demure flirtation with old
Dr. Allen; of your occasional neces
sary visits to his office for medical aid,
and your unexpected encounters’in the
street—ha, ha!—but I do. And it will
be my own fault 1f Ido not marry
Ned Bartram, in spite of your shocked
sense of propriety.”
“It’s all nonsense, my dear boy,
sheer nonsense, the idea of you, who
are hardly of age, talking of mar
riage.”
And Ned Bartram’s maternal uncle
grew quite red in the face in his in
dignation.
‘“Why, uncle, I'm twenty-five. I
should think I was old enough to be
looking out for a wife—that is, if I ever
intend to have one, which I most cer
tainly do.”
“Pshaw! ten years hence will be
time enongh. No man ought to mMArry
before he is thirty-five ; he don’t know
his own mind.”
‘““But, uncle,” expostulated Ned,
““who is going to wait all those years
for a fellow? Certainly not pretty
Nettie Danforth. Why, she hus had a
dozen lovers, and althon-h I am
happy to say that she h:s discarded
them all in my favor, Icould not think
of presuming to ask ner to wait a
dozen years for me.”
““Why, there are other young ladies
in the world besides Nettie Danforth,
my boy. To be sure, she is pretiy,
and, I presume, is as sensible as most
young girls; but she is altogether too
young. Now, if I were to select I
should choose some sensible woman ot
matarer age—say about such a person
as Miss Nettie’s aunt, Miss Araminta.
Ab, my boy, there'sa sensible girl for
you. She'd make a first-rate wife.”
“Ugh! she's forty if she’s a day,”
muttered Ned to himself in disgust.
Then, turning to his uncle, he said,
smilingly :
“If you have such a fine opinion of
the lady, why don’t you marry her
yourself, Uncle Allen?”
*“I—I marry!” and the old gentle
man’s face became purpleas he bustled
excited about the room, with hands
clasped under his coat-tails. s
JOYS.
-Cc D. Stflarf.
“How sbeurd! Ned, you know I
don’t believe in such nonsense. I've
lived fifty-five—ahem! forty years
without thinking of it, and its not
likely lam going to make a fool of
myself now, is it? Isit, I say, sir?”
demanded he, indignantly, bhalting
; his chubby little person before his
‘amused nephew.
“Well, my dear uncle, you see we
disagree so upon that subject. Now,
{ I should call it anything but making
‘a fool of yourself if you were to marry
and, really, sir, I agree with you that
Miss Elmer isa fine old girl,” said
Ned, mischievously.
*“Old, sir, old? Why, Ned, my boy,
what are you talking about? She tells
—l—l mean I have been told that Miss
Elmer is twenty-eight or so; just the
proper age for matrimony.”
““Well if you say so, why, of course,
I am bound to believe you; but, real
ly, if any one had asked my opinion,
I should have added ten or twelve
years more; but, anyhkow, uncle, take
my advice and marry her. You can’t
do better, and then perhaps you will
feel more charitably inclined toward
Nettie and myself.” @
*““No thanks for your advice,” roared ‘
the irascible old gentleman. ‘‘Keep it
until it is asked for, will you?”
““There” (as Ned opened his mouth,
as if about to speak), ‘‘not another
work, sir. Get out of my room, will ‘
you, with your uncalled-for advice?”
Ned emilingly obeyed. l
He knew his-uncle too well not to
feel sure that his anger was only
momentary, and that,as the old gentle
man was really one of the best-hearted
men living, he would have gotten well
over his indignation before they met
at table.
*‘Good Heavens!” murmured the
doctor, as he sank exhausted into a
chair, and ran his hand nervously
through his scanty curls, ‘‘the young
rascal will have me accepted and mar
ried before I know it.
“‘Can bhe suspect my partiality for
Miss Elmer? No, I think it is only
his inveterate love of match-making.
He is crazy to run his own head into
& noose, and so wants everybody else
to be as idiotic as he is.”
And the offending nephew said to
himseif as he walked away :
‘“The old gentleman is certainly
emitten with the peerless charms of
Miss Eimer, and I shouldn’t wonder if
they made a match of it after all, as
Nettie predicts. Ha, ha! How uncle
colored up when I proposed it ?”
Miss Elmer sat in her brother’s
parlor alone, dressed in her best, and
with her well-dyed hair arranged in
the most becoming fashion.
She sat rigidly erect in her chair,
as motionless as if sitting for her
portrait ; but it was for something far
more important that she was attired
with so much carc—she expected a
visitor.
The family had all gone to a neigh
bor’s to tea, but she, by a precon
certed plan, had excused herself on
the ples of a headache, and now, with
a fluttering heart, she vaited the
coming of her visitor, Dr. Allen, who,
she felt assured, would joyfully seize
upon such a favorable opportunity to
declare his passion.
A low, rather irresolute knock
sounded on the door, and Miss Elmer
hastened to open it.
‘“Ab, is 1t you, dootor?” she cried,
smilingly. ““Walkin. Tam in soli
tary grandeur, and was feeling quite
lonely.”
‘Lonely, my dear madam ?” ejacn
lated the little doctor, as he removed
his hat, and followed his ho:teoss into
the parlor. “Lonely! Oh, sweet
lady, would I could guard you against
all such feelings! Believe me, it
would give me the most intense hap
piness,” and he placed has hand upon
his heart and bowed deeply.
“Why, doctor, how you i{alk!” and
Miss Elmer simpered, and atiempted
to blush behind her fan. “‘You men
are such odd creatures.”
*‘Odd, dearest madam, o1d? Well,
I admit it; we certainly are odd when
Cupid pierces us with Lis downy
shafts. But then, madam, it is the
ladies who are to blame, for who can
withstand their bright glances and
sunny faces?”
And he gave her a most affectionate
glance.
Miss Elmer really did color, this
time from excitement, for she felt that
the decisive moment was very near ab
hand, and she murmured :
*‘Dear me, doctor, what a flatéerer
you are.”
‘I assure you, dear lady, I do not
flatter. Abh, Araminta!” and down
plumped the little doctor upon his
knees. ‘I assure you that I'm in the
most eolemn earnest. I have lost my
heart to your bewildering charme,
sweet omne, and wiil not rise from
here until you promise to be my
bride.”
Much as she had longed and waited
for this moment, during her long
years of spinsterhood, Araminta El
mer was dumb with delight, an< a lit
tle real embarrassment.
But, mistaking her silence for aver
sion, the doctor cried :
“If you won't have me, Aramianta,
I'll -I'll—take poison I”
“O—h!"” screamed Miss Elmer.
*“Iwill,” he averred solemnly, for
getting his late delaration, -nd rising
to his feet.
“‘Oh, then, Jonathan, I will promise
anything you please,” cried Miss El
mer, blushing., “‘Take me, dearest, I
am yours!”
And she flung herself into his arms.
But her weight was almost toomuch
for the enamored doctor, who staggered
back, and wanld undcubtedly have
fallen, had not a knock just then
sounded on the front door, and Miss
Elmer withdrew herself rom his arms,
gasping :
‘““Oh, my! they have returned.
What shall we do? I would not have
them find you bLere for anything.
They—they would tease me so about
you, Jonathan, dear.”
And she simpered.
““Good gracious, Araminta!” eried
the doctor, mopping his hot face with
his handkerchief. ‘l'm sure I
wouldn’t have that rascally nephew of
mine find me here for a thousand dol
lars. Cannot you hide me?”
The knocking was repeated, this
time much louder.
‘“Yes, this way,” ecried Araminta in
desperation, and she pushed him into
the china closet. ‘‘They won’t find
you here, and as soon as they leave the
room, I'll let yov out.”
““One moment, my dear,” ex
claimed the doctor, popping out his
head as she was closing the door;
‘‘yon promise to be mine?”
‘“Yes, yes, anything—only get in,”
she cried, in a panic, and satisfied, the
doctor drew in his head, and his be
trothed closed and locked the door and
pocketed the key with a sigh of re
lief.
‘*‘Ah, is it you? I declare, you gave
me quite a start. I was dozing,” fibbed
Miss Araminta, blandly, as she admit
ted Nettie and Mr. Bartram.
*‘l thought 1 heard some one talking
to you as we stood upon the steps,”
said Nettie, suspiciously.
““Oh, Mr. Bartram,” cried Nettie,
suddenly, ‘““have some of the finest
cake ; mother made it yesterday. You
must taste it,” and she ¢ssayed to open
the door of the chira closet.
‘““Why, it is locked! Where can the
key be?” she cried, wonderingly.
A rattling of dishes sounded within
the closet, followed by a crush and a
wild ery, and then a voice exclaimed :
““Oh, oh! Help! Murder! I'm
killed! Let me out!”
Miss Araminta uttered a piercing
scream and fainted.
The door was burst open, and out
hobbled the doctor, and & most piti
able spectacle did he present.
His hands, face and clothes were
bedaubed with Mrs. Danforth’s best
preserves, and he limped painfully,
emitting a deep groan at every step,
for op« of his feet was held firmly in a
large trap which had been set to catoh
the mice that infested the closet.
On hearing Nettie’s attempt to open
the closet door, he had, in a blind at
tempt at conceaiment, essiyed to
climb upon the topmost shelf, but un
able to sustain his weight, the shelf
gave way, and precipitated him, to
gether with a quantity of china, to
the floor.
Despite the poor man’s distress, his
appearance was so ridiculous that it
caused an irresistible burst of laugh
ter.
He was soon released from his un
pleasant predicament, and was then
much more inclined to treat the affair
as a joke,
Ned began to quiz him unmercifal
ly, but Dr. Allen was equal to the
oceasion, and taking the hand of the
blashing Araminta, who had recovered
from her swoon, he said bravely:
“Yes, Ned, I have, after all, con
cluded to marry, and the sooner you
follow my example, you young dog,
the better; and the day that sees
pretty Miss Nettie here your bride
sees you the poussessor of ten thousand
dollars.”
‘Nettie has prcmised to marry me,
uncle,” said Ned, taking the hand of
his betrothed.
““‘And you know, auntie,” said Net
tie, laughing and blushing at the same
time, ‘I promised to follow your ex
ample,” '
If there was more push in the world
there would be fewer hungry, half
clothed, homeless suffering children;
fewer broken-down dissipated men
and women; less need of almshouses,
houses of correction and homes for the
friendless,
Push means a lift for a neighbor in
trouble. Push means a lift for your
self out of the slough of despondency
and shift'essness, out of trouble, real
and fancied. Push [never hurts any
body. The harder the push the better,
if it is given in the right direct‘iom
Always push up-hill—few people need
a push down hill. Don’t be afraid of
your muscles and sinews; they were
given you to use. Don’t be afraid of
your hands; they were meant for
service. Don’t be afraid of what your
companion may say. Don’t be afraid
of yoar conscience; it will never re
proach you for a good deed—but push
1t with all your heart, might and soul,
whenever you see anything or any
body that will be better for a good,
strong, long, determined push.
Push! It 1s just the word for the
grand, clear morning of life; it is just
the word for strong arms and voung
hearts; it is just the word for a world
that is full of work as thisis. If any
body is in trouble, and you see it,
don’t stand back—push! ’
1f there isanything good being done
in any place where you happen to be,
push!
