Yes, Ellen, will tell you all know
about it, for you're real smart, and will make
hrst-rate wife for Fred some day, but YOU
must first promise to try and make my secret
OF practical use to yourself and teach every

Ellen blushed, and almost wished she had
not been so impairment But Ellen was
good, sensible girl, and was impressed with
the idea that Fred would want wife some.

A BEAUTIFUL sKErcH.

1t was in the evening of beautiful sum-
mer day, that | strayed into the silent grave
yard of our little village, where witnessed
an affecting circumstance, which time nor
change can ever eface from my memory.
As / wandered among the moss-grown
graves and broken stones, was suddenly
arrested by observing little girl before me,
whose actions, unperceived by her, l was
watching. She was kneelling beside little
mound of earth covered with grass and flow
ers.
Shortly after had arrived there, she ceased
the occupation in which she was engaged,
and keeling beside the tomb with appraised
eyes to Heaven, her fervent lips poured forth
in in ardent prayers he feelings and affections
to her heavenly Father.
Raising herself from her position, saw
her hang garland of flowers upon the mar
bic headstone, wrought into the words--'My
Fathers Crave
Those simple words, so eloquent Of feeling,
so full of thought, could not but add fresh
sanctity to the spot.

THE YANKEE AND THE PIRATE.

THE YANKEE AND THE PIRATE.
There lived not many years ago on the
eastern coast of Mount Desert, large
island off the coast Of Maine, an old FISH
erman by the name Of Jededah Spnnet,
who owned schooner of some hundred
tons burhen, in which he, with four stout
sons was wont, about once year 10 go 10
the Grand Bank for the purpose of catch
ing Goldfish. The old had live things,
upon the peculiar merits Of which he loved
TO boast--his schooner, Betsey Jenkins,
and his four sons.
The fur sons were all that their father
represented them to be, and no one ever
doubted his word when he said that their
like was not to be found for fifty miles
round. The oldest was twenty-five while
the youngest had reached his sixteenth
year; they answered to the names ofSeth,
Andrew, John and Samuel.
One morning stranger called upon
Jedediah. TO engage him to take to llavan.
ma some iron machinery belonging to
steam engines for sugar plantations. The
terms were soon agreed upon, and the old
man and his sons Immediately set about
putting the machinery on board; that ac.
compllshed, they set sail for Havana.
with fair wind, and for several days pro-
ceeded on their course without an adven.
ture of any kind. ....
One morning, however. sail was des
cried of the starboard quarter, which, af
ter some hesitation, the old man pronoun.
ced to be pirate. There was not much
time lett them tor doubling, Tor the vessel
saIuled them with the not very agreeable
whlzzng Of an eighteen pound shot just
under the stern.
That means for us TO heave to- re-.
marked the old man.
Then guess we'd better do it, hadn't
We 2 said Seth.
'Ot course ...... .-
Accordingly the Betsey Jenkins was
brought up into the wind, and her man
boom hauled over to the windward.
Now boys said the old man, as soon
as the schooner came to stand, all we
can do is to tie quiet as possible and trust
to fortune. There is no way TO escape,
that can see now, but perhaps they will
take such stuff as they want, and then let
US go. AT any rate, there is no use cry
ing about it, for can't be helped. Now
get your pistols and see that they are sure
loaded, and have your knives ready, bni
be sure to hide them. so that the pirates
shall see no show of resistance
In few minutes all the arms which the
vessel afforded. with the exception of one
or two old muskets, were secured abou
the persons of our Down casters, anC
then they quietly awaited the coming o
the schooner.

How TO DO GooD.-Dr. Johnson wisely
said, "He who waits 10 do great deal Of
good at once, will never do ANYTHING +"
Lite is made up Of little things. 1t is but
once in an age that occasion is offered for
doing great deed. True greatness con.
slsts in being great in little things. How
are railroads buitl By one shovelful of
dirt alter another; one shovellul at time.
Thus drops make the ocean. Hence we
should be willing to do little good at a
time, and never "wait TO do a great deal
Of good at once" five would do much
good in the world. we must be willing TO
do good in little things, little acts one af-
ter aother; speaking a word here, giving
tract there, and setting a good example
all the time; we must do the first good
thing we can, and then the next, and the
next. and so keep on doing good. This
is the way 10 accomplish any thing. Thus
only shall we do all the good in our pow.

GONE ASTRAY.

Cold " ords 10 fall on loving heart
he has gone astray. And is this the time
to desert him! This the time to taunt
him with words that roll like lava from
your passion, and only scar his soull No!
he passes under clouds; be his light now;
perhaps he has no other.
Many a true heart, that would have
come back like the dove to the ark after
its first transgression, has been frightened
beyond recall by the angry look and
malice, the taunt, the savage charity OF
an un nrorgving soul. Be careful how you
freeze the first warm emotions of repen-
tance. Beware lest those pleading words,
unheeded now, sting you in some shad'
owy vale of your future sorrow. Repen.
tence, changed by neglect or unkindness'
becomes like melted iron hardened in the
mould. TriAe with it never. Be the first
to meet the erring with outstretched arms.
Wipe the tear from the eye-pour the
balm of consolation on the wounds that
guilt has made. Let your heart be the
grave for his transgressions, your pity
find vent in bearing his burden, not IN
useless words. o, forgive the errlng !
Did not lie who died on Calveryl Shield
him from the contempt Of grosser minds;
make brightness and beauty where all was
cold and storm before in his sad life.
