True Duncan and the Cat.

Once there was little boy named Duncan. The
boys used to call him True Duncan, because he new
er would tell a lie. One day he was playing with
an axe in the yard of the school, and while he was
chopping stick, the teachers cat Tahby, came
along. Duncan let the axe fall right on poor Tabbys
head and killed her. What TO do he did not know.
She was pet of the master; used to sit on cnsh-
ion Mt his side, while he was hearing the lessons
Duncan stood and looked at the dead creature, and
tears stood in his eyes.
Snow, fellows" said one of the boys 1--WE shall see
whether Duncan can't make up a fib as well as the
rest of u.s."
mo, he p said liule Tom Poorley, who Dun
cans friend. "Not he I'll warrant you, Duncan
will he true MS gold"
Big Jones stepped up and taking the cat by the
tail said, "lere, boys Pl just fling her into the alley
and we can tell Mr. Cole that the butchers dog killed
her, you know he worried her last week"
Several of them thought this would do very well
But Duncan looked quite angry.
"Noi" said he, "no. Do YOU think | would lie fol
such creature ms that It would he a lie, he

grew louder and louder. Then he picked up lh'
poor thing in his arms, and carried into the schoo
room and the boys followed tn what would hap
pen. The master looked mp and said
"What is this my faithful monser dead Wh'
could have done me such an injury" All were sen
for a little As soon Duncan could get his voice
he said.

The two Houses,

once knew rich man who determined to have
a very large and beautiful house built for himself
lie bought lot of ground in beautiful part of the
city aud took great pains to have the house built in
the best manner. There were many spacious rooms
aud wide halls. 1t was planned so as to be warm
in the winter and cool in summer No expense was
spared to have it as comfortable and as complete n
dwelling ms could be made No doubt he looked
forward to many years OF enjoyment in this new and
elegant house.
At the same time that this large house was pre-
pairing for himself and his family, he had auolher
built for them. And there was a great difference
between The two. For the second house had but
one small room for the whole family, and the room
was mostly under ground 1t had, indeed, strong
walls, and was built of marble but it had no win
dows aud but one small door, and that made OF
iron. What contrast there was between the wide
and lofty mansion, bright and handsome, and the
low building under the willow tree, which one would
scarcely notice y ct these two houses built for
the same people. The for the living fami-
Iy aud the other was for the dead, For the low
house under the tree is the vault into which their
bodies TO liC placed as one alter another sli DE-
called away from life.
The vault was soon finished and it ready
long before the large house. Aud into which OF
them do you think the rich owner himself went first
to take up his abode Strange as it may secm he
was ready for the vault before the fine dwelling was
ready for him: and many months before the spaci-
OTIS rooms of the house were fit to be inhabited
its builder laid in the narrow, dark cold apart
ment which he will not leave until earth shall give
up its dead at the last day.
This is fact which ought to fix the attention of the
Young. TO You everything in life seems bright ant
happy gives great enjoyment, and you forget its end
or imagine It is too far off to be thought Of The
house of the living is large and beautiful. that
hides from your sight the house of the dead. But re
member, that like the man have been telling yo'

out using them benevoenily and didactcally; and

end or aim than that of pleasing and being pleased,
unsatisfactory mental attHinments aud profess
sions those of conuring and iortune-teiHg.
None of them affords the mind the slightest salts

The mental pursuits, therefore, of fashionable
lady however pleasant they may he for the passing
moments, have no satisfaction Mt their termination
and although they may delude with the promise of
hope, they conclude with the payment of diSap-
poiut1eit. Perhaps 40 pursuit is more NoXatious
than mere novel-rcadng. There is rarely anything
to comprehend, hut little TO learn, and that often not
worth the learling plenty to enjoy while reading,
and an abundance to suffer when read
The minds and feelings of writer's and readers of
novels, constantly upon the rack. Silken, silver,
or golden, it may be, but it is the rack, and minds
that are frequently racked, like bodies, are not ca
pahle of being in health. We never vet knew or
heard Of novelist, whether writer or reader who
was of healthy mind or body. Nothing disqualifies
any one thoroughly for the cnioyments aud du-
ties of the world in which we live, the living in
imagination in world of entirely different sort.
The world of fiction is far off the world of fact,
as Jupiter is from our Planet.
Now, those who thus ariificially stimulate their
minds and feelings, pretcrnaurally wear and weak
en- their brains and nerves. the organs of sensby,
and become excitable, nervous. and hystcrical.
They have been moved until mobility, not stability,
is the law of their being. An ordinary impression,
such persons in good health and sense, can east
~ employ, modify, resist overpowers then and
throws them into fits, paroxysnIs, of eXtravagant
and uncomfortable emotion.
Such persons are constantly dsordercd Every
change of temperature is TO them an endurance,
equal to that Of persons in health, passing from one

Railroads aud the Press.

Railroad companies must get rid of this eXpen-
sve newspaper advertising" said railroad director
TO MS the other day. And we hear on every hand
GOOD deal of muttering abont free passes occasional

reporters, &c. We like economy in the manage
ment of railroads, but TO our Judgment this is be-
ginning reform at altogether the wrong place.
Foot ND the accounts between the newspapers
and the railroads of the land, and upon which will
fall the balance due? There not half dozen
railroads in the country that could ever have been
built had il not been for the aid of The press. For
example, take our own paper and our railroad Is
The Belknap Gazette under obligations 10 the Mon
treal Railroad corporation, for its few dollars of an
nua advertising Had it not been for the early, the
unweared the constant advocacy of the Gazette, we
doubt if there had been the first rail laid upon
that road The mere cost of setting the type of ar
ticles in this paper in behalf of that enterprise, has
been hundreds of dollars-and il has secured them
thousands of dollars of subscriptions, and above ALL
kept the stockholders in good heart aud courage In
the early days of the Montreal, when friends were
of value in that enterprise and the Gazette was I'M

A PRAYER
BY ELIzABETn NJ. SARGENT.

II I have erred in cropping for the light
That strcameth from the iar-oif golden portals,
Chasing the shadows from the guilty night,
That broodch DER the tribe Of errng mortas -
II have grasped al shadowy forms and fair
That n in wilderng grace above, around me,
Thinking the true, the right, the good were there,
Nor sought TO break the spell III which they bound me-
Father, forgive me!
If have ever found a bitter tear
Coursing down cheeks with sin sorrow palng,
And left no ray of joy to picture there,
Prismac glory through tho griei-drops falling -
ii have heard amid dies human choir,
One tone with sorrows unmisiaken quivcr
And touch ed all carecssy the answering Tyre,
Causing sweet strings al the rude touch 10 SILVER,
Father forgive me-
II have ever lur6ed with whering scon,
To censure Ill., mistaken or designing,
And drank not patiently the bitter cup
Which Thou in love hast profcrcd unrepinng =
If have learned not, from carths Hottest One,
To bear its thousand ills, its wrongs lis sorrows,
As but the darkness fleeing from the day,
The dusky herald of glorious morrow
Father forgive me!
And oh if have ever caused a sigh
In any heart my own has loved to cherish,
Among the hopes Of Immortality,
Unwh'ring joys when all around shall PERISH
Forgive me this for all unwillngly
Was every lhoughess deed, each light word spoken
Time care may dim the eyes we love see,
Bot which bid fow tell of deep fountains bro

Music BY TELEGRAPH.-We had the pleasure,
the other evening, OF listening with astonishment to
the transmission of music by Telegraph, over the
wires from Boston TO New York. We happened to
be in the Office, No. ) Hanover street, in this city,
when there was pause in business operations. Mr..
w. Porter, young but skillinl operator in the Bos-
ton office, asked us what tune we would have We
replied Yankee Doodle and to SURPRISE he
rsmediaiely complied with request. The in
stSlment commenced drumming The notes of the
tune as perfectly and distinctly Il skilful drum
msr could have made them at the head of regi-
nsnt, and many will be astonshed to hear that
'Ihnkee Doodle can travel by lightning. We then
adIed for Hail Counbia,' when the notes of that
n,tiona air were distinctly heaten off. We then ask
ei for 'Auld Lang Syne,' the notes or sounds Of
which were also transmitted. A friend called for
odd Dan Tucker when Mr.. Porter also sent that
tue, and, if anything, in more perfect manner
than the others. So perfectly and distinctly were
tie sounds of these tunes transmitted, that good in
srumental performers could have had no difficulty
il keeping time with the instruments at this end q

novelties.-.Nei0 York Herald.
