From the spit. of the Times.
Practical Jakc,S in the Army.
BY n. {. ". j.

Ned c. was a young and merry
Sub, of the til infantry, and what
is termed in the array "a clever fcl-
low" 1t is true that Ned was
somewhat given to excepting his spi-
rits up by pouring spirits dowu," es-
pccially when stationed at the out
post; but he never would have been
called an iatemperate man.
At the time OF my story, the de-
tachment of the army to which Ned
belonged occupied post on the
south west frontier, and might be
said to be in close quarters; as the
officers and men, from the crowded
state Of the garrison, were reduced
to less than half allowance of eating
and sleeping room authorized by
regulations. To this arrangement
was Ned indebted for the society
of the surgeon of the post, who shar-
cd with him the comforts and
conveniences of an apartment
twelve feet square. q .
The Doctor, actuated by feelings
of regard for Ned's we'll being, Git
may have been with an eye to his
own quiet and reposc,) was in the
habit Of administering to him, occa-
sionally, Il dose of good advice, and
demonstrating with him on the i'm
propriety of staying outlate at night,
getting "Hght," and coming home
'.disturding people after they had
gone to beds all of which Ned took
very patiently, but without mending
his ways. The Doctor, finding that
it was utterly useless to appeal to
Ned's sense Of propriety, with the
hope of eifecting a change in his
mode of life, began to address him to
his fears. urn r.. rar...... ....s-
"Ned,'' said he, "if you don't stop
this frolicking, and drinking, and
spreeing, you'll get the dropSy--I
know you willard you'll die spite
of the ID! tell you, once for all,
to stop it, for if you get the dropsy
on nyour chest, you are a gone suck
cr! all the medicine in my cheS1
won't save you! No, SIR, burnt
brandy wont save you!' '.i cd
The Doctor child in vain--in vain
did he continue to enumeratc the
various cases of hard drinking ter
minating in dropsy that had come
under his observation since he hac
been member Of the Mcdica al Staff
Ned was incorrigible.
As the lectures on temperance
ard the terrible pictures Of disease
and death, from indulgence in stron,
drink, held up to his view, were o
no avail in exciting his fears, th,
Doctor was about to despair Of efec
ting reform, when it was brough
about, for a time in the followin!

up each verse of his song with

attempt Of disencumbcring himsel
of a, coat and pair of boots, at tn

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

A young man of eighteen or twen-
tv.. student in university, tooka
walk one day with a professor, who
was commonly called the student's
friend, such was his kindness TO the
Young men whose Office IL was toinS
strict. ' ' ''i's'
Willie they were W Walking together,
and the professor was seeking to lead
the conversation 10 grave subjects,
they saw a pair of old shoes lyiDg,iil
their path, which they supposed to
belong to poor man who was at
work in the field close by, and who
had nearly finished his days work. 3
The young student turned TO the,
professor SAYING, 'let Us play Che
man trick; we will hide his shoesy
and conceal ourselves behind those
bushes, and watch TO see his per-
plexity when he cannot find them
r'My dear friend answered the
professor, I'VE nustnever aInuse our
selves at the expense of the poor.
But you are rich, and you may give
Yourself a much greater pleasure by
means of this poor man. Put Il dol-
lar into each shoe, and then we will
hide ourselves . '''. ''7'o
The student did so, and then pla-
ccd himself with the professor be-
lind the bushes close By, through
which they could easily watch the
laborer, and see Whatever wonder
or JOY he might express. .,...,.T
The poor man had soon finished
his work, and came across the, field
to the path, where lie had left his
coat and shoes. While lie put. on
the coat, lie Slippei 4 one footinto one
of his shoes; but feeling something
hard, he stopped down and found the
dollar. Astonishment and wemier
were seen upon his countenance;
he gazed upon the dollar, tnined il
around, and looked again and again;
then he locked around him on all
sides, but could see no enc; Now
he put the money in his pocket snd
proceeded to puto the other shoe,
Ebnt how great was his astonishment
when he found tie other dollar!
His FEELINGS ocercane lin !, lie fell
upon his knees, looked rpito heaven
Eand uttered aloud a ferverIt thanks
giving, in 'whicl, he spoke Of his
wife, sick and helpless, and his chii-
drcn without bread, whom this time
| ly bounty from some unknown hand
would save from perishing.
The young man stood there deep
Ily affected, and tears filed his,eyes.
Now said the professor, are
you not much better pleased than II
you had played your intended trick
% dearest SIR answered the
youth. you have taught me a lesson
now that will never forget. feel
now the truth Of the words which
never before understood, 1T is bet-s
ter to give than to rcceivc.' .''
