the course of his studies in Upsala.
Our young man now pursued his studies in
a manner which soon made him regarded as
the most promising scholar at the University.
Three years were not passed after the day of
the first kiss, when the young man was al
lowed to glvea second one to the lovely daugh-
ter OF the Governor, as his betrothed bride.
He became, later, one of the greatest schol-
ars In Sweden, as much respected for his
learning as for his character. His works will
endure forever among the works of science,
and from his happy union sprung family
well known in Sweden in the present day,
and whose wealth of fortune and high posi-
ton IN society are regarded as small things,
compared with its wealth and goodness of
love.

Give your Childrena Newspaper

A child beginning to read becomes delight
ed with newspaper, because he reads of
names and things which are very familiar, and
he will make progress accordingly.
A newspaper one year is worth quarters
schooling to child, and every father must
consider that substantial information is con-
nected with advancement. The mother of a
family, being one of its heads, and having a
more immediate charge of children, should
herself be instructed. A mind occupied. be-
comes fortified against the ills of life, and is
braced for any emergency. Children amused
by reading or study are of course considerate
and more easily governed. How many
thoughtless young men have spent their eve
nlngs in tavern or grog shop, who ought to
have been reading. How many parents who
never spent twenty dollars for books for their
families would have given thousands to re-
claim son or daughter who had ignorantly
or thoughtlessly fallen into temptation.

Story of IL First Hiss.
BY FREDERICK BREMER.

In the University of Upsala, in Sweden,
lived young student,-a lonely youth, with
a great love for studies, but without means
Of pursuing tham He WAS poor and with
out connections. Still he studied on, living
in great poverty, but keeping up cheerful
heart, and trying not to look at the future,
which looked so grimly at him. His good
humor and good qualities made him beloved
by his young comrades. Once he was stand
ing with some of them in the great square OF
Upsala, prating away an hour leisure, when
the attention of the young men became ar
rested by very young and elegant lady, who
at the side of an elerly one, walked slowly
over the place. 1t was the daughter OF the
Governor of Upland, residing in the city, and
the lady with her was her governess. She
was generally known for her beauty and for
her goodness and gentleness of character, and
was looked upon with great admiration by
the students AS the young men now stood
silently gazing at her, as she past on like
graceful vision, one of them exclaimed: "Well
it would be worth something to have kiss
from such a mouth - The poor young stu
dent, the hero of our story, who was looking
intently at that pure angelic face, exclaimed
as if by inspiration, " Well | think could
have it," "What!" cried his friends in a
chorus, care you crazy! Do you know her!"
&c. "Not at ALL, he answered; "but think
she would kiss me, just now if asked her." "
I" What! in this place, before all our eyes !"
q" In this place before your eyes" "Freely!"
ltFreely." "Well if she will give you kiss
in that manner, will give you thousand
dollars" "And T. "And !" cried three or
four others, for it so happened that several
rich young men were in the group, and bets
ran high on so improbable an event, and the
challenge was made and received in less time
than we take to relate it.
Our hero-my authority tells not whether
he was handsome or plain,-I have my pecu-
liar reasons for believing that he was rather
plain, but singularly good looking at the same
time-our hero walked off to meet the young
lady. He bowed to her and sald' " MY lady,
(min froleen,) my fortune is in your hands. "
She looked at him in astonishment, but arres-
ted her steps. He proceeded to state his
name and condition.. his aspirations, and rela-
ted simply and truly what just had passed be-
tween him and his companions. The young
lady listened attentively, and when ne had
ceased to speak, she said blushing, but with
great sweetness "If by SO little thing sc
much good could be effected it would be very
foolish in me to refuse your request, and
she kissed the young man publicly in the
open square.
Next day the young student was sent ior
by the governor. He wanted to see the
young man who had dared to ask kiss OF his
daughter in that way, aud whom she had con-
sented to kiss so. lie revived him with a
severe and scrutinizing brow, but, after ar
hours conversation, was 50 pleased with him

UnDatented Lands,

persons in possession, or owing unpatented
ofAssembly passed the 10th day ofApril, 1885,
entitled " An act to graduate lands on which

been extended from time to time by supple

each eight ounces, put into quart of warm
milk, and heat till the ingredients are all per-
fectly melted and mixed Put the whole in

Calls Oh Horses.

More than twenty years ago, when our
large ferry boats were propelled by horse
power, and the horses, by moving round in
circle, were exceedingly liable to be CALLED
by the collar, learned from the ferrymen the
use of alum and whiskey. They bathed the
neck and back, wherever the harness rubbed,
with whiskey into which pounded alum had
been put until no more could be dissolved
When gall had occurred, constant bathing
would secure the continued use of the horse,
and actuly heal the wound while in service.
] resorted to this remedy, carrying it with me
when journeyed, and have continued its use
with undiminished approval. for more than
twenty years. apply no other remedy
When horse has been put out for the win
ter. and has not been used, his breast and
back will be tender. A single hours use of
saddle or cholar, in hot day, will then scald
the breast SO as to produce serious injury
Ny uniform practice, therefore, has been, for
week before beginning to use the harness,
to harden the breast and back by bathing them
regularly two or three times day. No in
jury bas then resulted from the application Of
the collar. And when bad gall has actual
lyoccured, Q frequent and persevering use of
this remedy has secured the constant use Of
the animal. and healed the wound while in
continued seryice.-Rardl NeD Yorker.

The Pure Spot i'm the Heart.

BY G. p. R. JAMES.
There is within the heart of man
Corrupt as it may be-
A touch of that which Eden knew
Ere Eve Profaned the tree
A love of guileless innocence
Forever lost, yet dear,
Which makes the first words of child
All music to his car.
One time, in fair sunny land,
And years long, long ago
A land of love, and tale, and song,
saw scene of woe.
stood within four noisome walls
That formed felon's cell;
listened to his dark cold words,
marked his visage fell.
Kind l bespoke him; for ne'er
Could trample on worm,
And fain would raise each flower again
That's broken BY the storm.
After sort, his bosom warmed;
He spoke of his past life;
And many an awful deed he own'd;
Told tales of bloody strife.
He was man without remorse,
Who feared not God nor iend;
Pleasure, not happiness, he'd found,
Co.Dpanioas, but no friend.
And there he was, next day to die
For his worst deed Of all,
He'd murdered one who trusted him,
For pittance bare and small.
Yet no companion he betray'd,
No hope, no fear, no grief:
He seemed man without soul,
And hard beyond relief.
Yet as we talk'd, the sounds Of life
Came upward from the street,
And merry laughs, and joyous tones,
And children's voices sweet.
At that last sound, pleasant smile
Passed DER his iron face,
Which seemed to give each haggard line
A strange redeeming grace.
81 love TO hear child's dear tongue,
That man of horrors said
at brings back days when | was young
And by my mother play'd.
"And gather'd flowers and foolish things,
And chased the butterfly,
And little thought thus should live
Still less, | thus should die"
He fell into fit Of thought,
His face grew cold and grey,
No further converse would be hear,
turned and went my way.
