A. PLEASANT SURPRISE.

A young man, Ofeighteen or twenty, student
in University, took walk one day with pro-
icssov, who was commonly called the students
friend, such was his kindness to the young men
"llon 1t was his Office t., instruct.
Whlc they were now walknp toce,hpr. and
the professor was seeking to lead the converse
ton to grave subjects, they saws pair OF shoes
lying inthe path which they supposed Belonged
to poor old man who was at work in the field
close by, aud who had nearly finished his d.y's
work.
The young student turned to the professor
saying" let us play the old uIan a trick we
will hide his shoes and conceal ourselves behind
those bushes and watch to see his perpeXitv
wl!aRFhe cOnnot lind them"
zasE My dear friend" answered the professor,
we must never amuse ourselves at the expense
of the poor, But you are rich, and you may
give Yourself much greater pleasure by means
of thi, ponr old man. Put dollar i'll each shoe
and then we will hide ourselves"
The student did so, and then placed himself
with the professor behind the bushes hard by
though witch they could easily watch wv ~
Lorer. and see what ver wonder or Joy '0 ''''s'
express.
Tto noor mon soon finished his work, and came
.cro.. ,he field to the path, where he had let n
.,ont and shoes. While he put on the coat, HI
sIpped one foot into one al his shoes; but feeling
something hard, he stnOped down and found TN
dollar. Astunlshmcnt aud wonder were ser
upon his countenonce; he gazed upon the dol
| r turned it around and looked again aud again
then he looked around on all sides, but could Sc
no one. lie put the money in hi pocket an
proceeded to put on the other shoe; but h0'
great was his astonishmcht when he fund I'll
other dolar His feelings overcame him; h
fell upon his knees looked up 10 heaven, and n
tered aloud a feruent prayer, in which he slok
of his wife, sick and helpless, and his chlIdre
withou' bread, whom this timely bounty, tro
SOME unknown hand would save from perish
ing. .s.s
The young mau stood there deeply aiiecie
and tears filled his eyes.
Now" said the professor, are you moi muc
better pleased than if you had played your inter
ded trick ?"
80, dearest Sill" answered the youth, "yc
have taught me lesson now that VIII snev'
forget. feel now the truth oil the words who
never before understood, it is better to civ
than to receive."
We should never approlch the pnor but wi,
the wish to do them 90 d.
